Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from IndieSage PR and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising"

SPIN Cover
Synopsis: 

He never planned on falling for the enemy…

Indebted to a local crime boss thanks to their father’s gambling debts, mechanic Joe Colton and his brother have been forced to steal cars for three soul-killing years. But when Joe saves the man’s niece from police – the same deliciously hot-blooded woman sabotaging their efforts to clear the debt – it’s time to negotiate new terms. And discover why, that one night, she burned him with a kiss then ran…

Darcey Connors will do anything to get her baby brother away from the criminals in her family – even screw up a good man’s life. Yet in the midst of tailing Joe, she somehow falls hard for the sexy tattooed car thief. Nothing can happen between them, but she owes him big time, and if he’s going it alone, she is going to help. As long as no one ever finds out – not Joe, her family, the police – or she could lose everything.

My Thoughts:

Darcy Connors is a very frustrated woman.  Her stepfather is one nasty man who makes her life miserable.  She shows the reader what some people will do for family.  Joe Colton also shows what he’s willing to do for family.  He’s finds himself conflicted over a certain woman.  Each time they come together, their connection just gets hotter and hotter.

The sad moment for me was her visits with her younger brother.  He’s being used as a pawn and paying the price.  The story shows how children always seem to pay the price of a parent’s bad decision.  One thing I loved was that our author doesn’t try to glamorize what our couple must do in order to survive.  But our author is also very devious.  She puts so many obstacles in Joe’s way.  It was interesting to watch him squirm and how he gets around it just to find something else in his path.

You know an author has a winner when a reader gets personally involved with her characters – ones that make you angry, sympathetic, laugh, brings tears to your eyes and even the thought of yelling at them.  The author has certainly done her job when you start to realize how alive these characters seem to be.  This also includes those that are really nasty – you have no choice but to hate them and if you could you would act like a concerned citizen and call the police. 

Even though this story is a part of a series, Ms. Gray gives her readers a very nice HEA.  This was a book that I enjoyed from beginning to end – even while reading the tough parts.  And I’m on pins and needles waiting for when Slide comes out.  When this series is done, I can see myself having a read-a-thon and that’s never a bad thing.

IndieSage PR Presents: Wrecked by Sherilee Gray; #BlogTour & #Giveaway

Wrecked Tour Banner

WRECKED
Publication Date: February 8, 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Wrecked CoverSynopsis: 


He’s driving her crazy…

Piper West is finally on her own, and it’s time to get crazy. Except that her overprotective big bro has enlisted his ex-cop best friend to keep an eye on his baby sister. With every move monitored and reported back, Piper’s life has gone from “going crazy” to “being driven crazy.” But a searing-hot kiss with her sexy and scarred watchdog is just the game-changer she needs…

Cole Black owes Piper’s brother big-time, but there’s nothing easy about his new assignment. Piper is all feisty sexiness and curves meant to tempt a man beyond reason, and Cole can’t stop himself. Now he’s caught up in a hunger like nothing he’s ever known, and he can’t get enough…

Even if Piper’s the one girl he’s not allowed to have.


Purchase: 




Excerpt:

Cole moved to his kitchen window and froze, hands gripping  the edge of the bench hard enough to make the Formica groan. Piper stood in her yard, garden hose turned on, aiming the jet of water at herself.

But if you want me, for anything, you know where I am. “Shit.” Had she really meant what he thought she did? Or was she thinking more along the lines of a neighborly cup of sugar? Fuck. He couldn’t allow himself to believe it. Believe that shy, sexy, little Piper West—the woman of his dreams—had just invited him into her bed. His head might actually explode if he did.

He swallowed hard, gaze following the water’s trajectory. The way it sluiced over her neck and shoulders, her arms, soaking into her shirt and shorts, gathering at the apex of her thighs and down her legs, making her skin glisten.

Not just my goddamn head.

Groaning, he licked his lips, like he already had her salty, sweet taste on his tongue.

Jesus.

Was she doing it on purpose? Was she trying to kill him? Because that’s what it felt like. His heart smacked around in his chest so damn fast, so hard, the possibility of having a heart attack wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. And his dick…shit. He’d never been so hard.

Was that…

Motherfucker.

Even from this distance, he could see her nipples pebbled and hard, straining against her tank as the cool water ran over her. He wanted to peel her wet clothes off, lick every inch of her smooth skin. See if she was wet anywhere else. See more than the tops of those succulent little nipples.
Finally, she turned off the hose and dropped it to the ground. Gripping the front of her shirt she wrung out the excess water, giving him an enticing glimpse of her smooth,  rounded belly. She was walking back to the front of her house when she turned toward him, eyes locking with his.

“Goddammit.” He needed to move away from the window, now, but he couldn’t tear his gaze from her. He stayed where he was, watching until she disappeared into her house.

CRASHED
by Sherilee Gray
Axle Alley Vipers, #1
Publication Date: July 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

CRASHED #1 CoverSynopsis: She swore never to trust him again...

Fiery mechanic Alexandra Franco should have known better. Years ago, her best friends' older brother took her virginity and broke her heart-or rather, doused it with gasoline, lit a match, and then walked away. And Alex definitely should not have indulged in another hot night with him after the fact. He's not the same boy she fell for, and she sure as hell doesn't want anything to do with the wealthy, ruthless man he's become.

Walking away from Alex was the biggest mistake of Deacon West's life. She belongs with him, and if getting her back means playing dirty, so be it. If she'll grant him a three-month, no-strings affair, he won't sell the building Alex and his sisters use for their auto repair business. Hell, he'll even sign it over to them. But will Alex ever entrust her heart to him again, or are they destined to crash and burn?

REVVED
by Sherilee Gray
Axle Alley Vipers, #2
Publication Date: October 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

REVVED #2 CoverSynopsis: 

He'll rev her up and drive her to the edge...

Rusty West swore she was done with men. Instead, she channeled her passion into West Restoration, the car shop she runs with her sisters. But Rusty's aloof composure fades when the owner of the competition comes striding into her shop, over six feet of sexy, rough-edged confidence…hot enough to send Rusty's motor into overdrive.

Reid Parker worked his ass off to get what he wants—and what he wants is West Restoration and its crew. He never expected to find a shop of all-female mechanics…or the stunning redhead who ignites a lust that threatens his cool. But Reid plays carefully. He never, ever gets involved with a woman beyond one night.

And no matter how hot the sparks, Rusty will never compromise her business for a man…

Pump Up Your Book Presents: Revved by Sherilee Gray; #BookTour, #Giveawy & #Review


Title: Revved

Publisher: Entangled Indulgence
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Rating:  4 1/2 Stars

ORDER INFORMATION
Revved is available for order at  






My Thoughts:

Reid Parker owns his own business but doesn’t like competition.  Two words to describe how I first felt about him – male chauvinist.  And his language is very graphic when it comes to something he wants.  Jane “Rusty” West is a woman with an attitude.  If you’re one to see what hook the author uses to grab your attention it would be the attitude between our two main characters.  She has had an experience from her past that appears to have clouded her thinking.

If you’re a reader that likes to set the mood as you read, cars are the backdrop but I don’t think you want to sit in a car dealership parking lot.  If I could, I would ask to take a Mustang for a spin and not return it until I finished the book.  Maybe you’re a tattoo kind of person; both our characters have them – just to give you a visual.

This book didn’t read as part of a series but you do want to know about the women that run West Restoration.  I don’t think you’ll have any problem if you read this book first and then go back and read Crashed.  Then you won’t have too long to wait when the third book, Wrecked, comes out in February.  This is a book that I would read again and once all the books come out I probably will read the series from beginning to end.

About the Author:

Sherilee’s always had a big (some may say warped) imagination, and as a kid scared herself conjuring up horror stories full of ghosts and other terrifying creatures. As she got older the stories changed quite a bit, but they were always there. Still, she never dreamed of actually writing down any of those wonderful imaginary people or places. Not until many years later when her sister introduced her to the wondrous world of romance novels, and her very large book collection.
She’s pleased to say, she still has the big imagination… only now her characters are chasing their happily ever after.

Sherilee Gray is a kiwi girl and lives in beautiful New Zealand with her husband and their two children. When she isn’t writing sexy, edgy contemporary romance or fueling her voracious book addiction, she can be found dreaming of far off places with a mug of tea in one hand and a bar of Cadburys Rocky Road chocolate in the other.
