The Monthly Chapter | February 2023

Feb. 03, 2023

Feburary The Monthly Chapter updated 2025

Welcome to The Monthly Chapter for February 2023.

February is here and this post is a few days late. In my defense I have been getting ready for surgery next week and really thinned things out over here for the month. In fact, other than the giveaway hop, the three monthly posts, and one or two reviews there wonโ€™t be much going on here this month. 

I wanted to give myself time to heal properly plus I donโ€™t know if I will end up having to stay at the hospital or not. I am not supposed to but anything can happen. That being said, I will still be working on a few things from my bed while I recover. 

I have several things I want to get done and next month will bring another large giveaway here. Fingers crossed I am able to get everything I want to do and get the fresh sort of start I am waiting for Storied Conversation. Donโ€™t worry, it is nothing crazy. I just need a little bit of reset here.

Reading This Month

PLEASE NOTE SOME OF THESE BOOKS MAY BE ARCS (ADVANCED READING COPIES) AND NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

Jess
My life is pretty perfectโ€”on paper. I had a string of platinum albums and number one songs all before I hit my twenty-fourth birthday. Iโ€™ve got fame and more money than Iโ€™ll ever be able to spend. What they say about fame is true: it's lonely up here at the top. The clichรฉs I sing about are true too: all I want is someone who sees the real me and loves me despite all the drama. Then I meet a guy who seems to step right out of my fantasiesโ€”grumpy, husky single-dad cowboyโ€”but he wonโ€™t even give me the time of day.

Grady

Nothing in my life has ever gone the way I planned. I unexpectedly became a father at seventeen. Before my daughter turned two her mom walked out on us both. The last thing I need is some glitter-soaked pop princess filming a music video on my land and putting stars in my daughterโ€™s eyes. Everything I do, I do for my kid, but Jess makes me want something for myself. Can I risk another woman breaking our hearts?

Canyon โ€œBlitzโ€ Madsen didnโ€™t believe in mercy. When the Redline Kings MC secretary learned one of his prospects was an undercover fed, he planned to seduce the agentโ€™s innocent younger sister as revenge. But he ultimately decided it was a line he wouldnโ€™t cross. 

Then he met Aubrey Cullen and knew leaving her alone wasnโ€™t an option. One look at the sweet nanny, and Blitz was gone. Now caught between the secret that could destroy them and the fierce need to protect her, heโ€™ll do anything to keep Aubrey safeโ€”even working with the FBI brother he once wanted to destroy.

Rev is available in Kindle Unlimited! This ws such Rev is available in Kindle Unlimited! This ws such a good book!!

Soren โ€œRevโ€ Halvorsen never lost control. Then a terrified blonde crashed into his bike on a dark road, and the Redline Kings captain decided she was his.

After barely escaping a serial killer, Delaney Crosswell felt like the world was unsafe. Except for when she was in Revโ€™s arms. She knew that danger was a part of the motorcycle club, but the sexy biker quickly proved heโ€™d burn the world down before letting anything touch her.
