Hell on Wheels
He’s the bad boy she’s always wanted...
Nate “Ghost” Weller has loved Ali Morgan nearly half his life. But he’s done something so heinous he’s convinced she’ll never forgive him if she discovers the truth, so he keeps his feelings and his secrets to himself. Then she blows into town with a mother lode of bad guys on her tail and Nate can’t deny she’s in serious trouble. Unfortunately, he’s the only one who can help her.
She’s the good girl he’s kept at arm’s length...
Ali knows Nate as the most solemn, aloof man on the planet. Sadly, he’s also the sexiest. For years she’s avoided him, unable to stomach his dark scowls and brooding silences… especially when she secretly yearns for his touch. Now she must rely on him to save her from the malevolent shadows ghosting her every move. When the bullets explode, so does their passion. But can love really conquer all? Or are some things just too terrible to forgive?
My thoughts:
I have to start this review with a quote, because while reading I kept think The Expendables and that is exactly what the heroine later asks.
"..And yeah, we're the Expendables. just younger, better looking, with cooler bikes and real bullets."
Lol, yes that did not go by well, lol.
To the book then, Ali is the sweet kindergarten teacher. And she does want Nate to see her as more than that. She tries her best. While the hero Nate does his best to keep his distance. Sighs, men are such idiots. She likes him, he likes her, he stays away cos of a promise to her brother. All brothers would say that. But hey we need the drama as these two dance around each other and keeps on sending mixed signals.
But this is romantic suspense after all and there sure is that too in it. Someone is after Ali. Why? That is for the Knights to find out and to protect her. Bullets will fly.
There is also a secondary story as we see the tension between another couple and that will lead up to book 2. Which seems to be another good one.
Conclusion:
A thrilling ride with a couple who wants each other so much.

Sounds like a solid start to the series despite a somewhat ridiculous promise to stay away from the heroine:) I love a good romantic suspense story!
ReplyDeleteThose silly men :) But it was a promise that made perfect sense
DeleteThis sounds fun. So many chopped off heads on book covers, but I do prefer that, it leaves it to the imagination.
ReplyDeleteIf you see it that way then yes :)
DeleteThis sounds like a fun read and so excited its the first in the series, awesome review
ReplyDeleteAlways good indeed :D
DeleteThanks!
I was curious about this one and I'm still wondering if I need to read it. Love the quote lol, so fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the heroine asked cos I kept thinking it ;)
DeleteThere's a guy and bike on the cover. Need I say more? Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHihi, well yup hot guy and a bike, perfection
Deletesounds like a fun book!!
ReplyDeleteThat is sure was :)
DeleteMen are idots...I agree with that! Especially if they both like each other but aren't together! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch idiots!
DeleteI just finished this one and can't wait for Frank's story :) I agree the promise was beyond silly but men sometimes are LOL
ReplyDeleteThey hear one thing and run with it...and never ever stops!
DeleteI enjoyed this one too. It was a fun read. I also had to laugh at your men are idiots quote. Oh yes... you did want to kick their arse more than once! LOL
ReplyDeleteSome just need a good arse kicking :)
DeleteHe does have a fine body, that man on the cover...
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you there
DeleteI've seen this book around. It looks good. I like the cover, but yes, I wish they would have shown his face too. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for a face
DeleteI really liked this one too and have the second book ready to read!
ReplyDeleteOhhh goodie!

ReplyDeleteBrandi from Blkosiner’s Book Blog
Hihi, it was a good one
DeleteOkay, for just that quote I want to read it!! :D LOL! Thank you for the review. :D
ReplyDeleteI had to tell bf at once when it came up as he liked the boring Exendboys
DeleteI get irritated by these plotlines in which the characters are in love but feel the need to stay away from each other, but this still sounds like it would be a fund read.
ReplyDeleteThere was a reason as she was younger and her brother might not have meant it too seriously and then there is this BIG thing. I can't tell you since it's a spoiler but it makes perfect sense then
DeleteI think this one sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy it
DeleteI've read a few Romantic Suspense - I might give this a try!
ReplyDeleteNice review Blodeuedd, it sure sounds good. Whatever trouble can a kindergarten teacher get into?
ReplyDeleteIt has to do with her brother..lips sealed
DeleteOh those nasty kindergarten teachers and their wicked ways...;))). Not my fare but I am glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteLol, they always get into such serious trouble! What is the world coming to? ;)
DeleteYes, we want to see his face too. I like that they want each other, that's good. :) Must be a lot of sparks between them. :) Great review.
ReplyDeleteThere are sure sparks and at first I wanted them just to get together...but there are serious issues too so makes sense
DeleteThe title's catchy. This sounds like a good one, if a little typical.
ReplyDeleteIt can still be good :)
Deletelove the quote, this one sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThat it was
DeleteYounger Expendables -ha! 'Cause most of those guys are in their 50s and beyond. Scary, but still, not really the most romantic figures.
ReplyDeleteI would sure not fall for one of those :)
DeleteLove me my bad boys. :D
ReplyDeleteHihi, you and me both
DeleteI really enjoyed it, I'm unable to resist yummy men on bikes:)
ReplyDeleteThey are sure yummy!
DeleteThey are sure worlds apart
ReplyDeleteI think it was Ilona Andrews who said that it is more expensive if the model's face is included in the picture, maybe the art department was on a budget.
ReplyDeleteI know I can be corny but I really like stories like this one. I'm going to have to grab this one.
