Kill or Die

Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.
In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says he doesn’t even remember her. Or does he?
Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demonsand even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will her heart?


Excerpt #1

I lay in Kevin’s arms for longer than I could calculate, staring out the window and watching as the sky grew darker.  Part of me wished we could stay like this forever, in this place the world seemed to have forgotten about, away from everything bad and horrible and dark.

That might have been nice, but there was still the question of my kidsand the rest of my family.  I needed to know they were all right, had to find out where they were.  I didn’t know how the hell I was going to do that or when, but I needed to.

Up against my body, he felt strong where I felt weak, warm where I could only sense cold.  He had become to me everything I always knew he was, and the realization that I had fallen in love with him again struck me hard.  It had been an easy slide, one I hadn’t even known I was on until my feet were back on the ground.

I decided there, in his arms, that I wasn’t going to fight it.

But I also wasn’t going to acknowledge it.  After our weird past as teens, I didn’t know what to expect from him in the aftermath.  I only knew this moment, and I was going to cherish it, hold it tightly in my heart like I might clench a locket in my fist, and then I was going to let tomorrow bring what it would.  I would leave this room with no expectations, no hope.

It was something I’d grown pretty good at over the years.

As if he could read my mind, he said, “We should probably head back.”

“Yeah, I was thinking that.  I think a storm’s moving in, don’t you?”  I turned around in his arms.  Part of me didn’t want to.  I was sad—profoundly—but felt like I shouldn’t be drowning in that emotion.  I didn’t want to give away anything in my head.

His voice was soft when he said, “Yeah, I think so, so we shouldn’t screw around.”

I smiled in spite of myself.  “A little late.”

He grinned too, and I imagined that he was feeling inside the same way I was but also wanted to try to put on a happy face.  But he pulled me close and kissed me tenderly.  He didn’t say anything, though, even after his lips left mine.

I wanted to acknowledge the significance of his earlier revelation, even though part of me was afraid to go there, so afraid of what the truth was.  But I had to know.  “Do you really remember meor were you just saying that?”

Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.

Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?

Deep (Stage Dive #4) by Kylie Scott- 5 of 5 Stars



Synopsis

     It’s funny how one night of passion can change a person’s world permanently. Lizzy Rollins’ life is about to be turned upside down thanks to a positive pregnancy test. This being the result of her one night with Ben Nicholson the sexy, bearded bass player for the rock band Stage Dive. The man she has lusted after is now her baby daddy. Ben is the only man who has ever made Lizzy feel safe, cherished and completely crazy with desire. Unfortunately, Ben has no plans for anything-long term, so when Lizzy finds out she’s expecting she doesn’t expect much from Ben. She will take care of this baby on her own no matter how much she wishes he could love her as she loves him.

     Ben knew he shouldn’t talk to Lizzy, she was off limits, his best friend's little sister in law. There was no way he could even be friends with her she was too tempting. The chemistry he felt between them was undeniable, but he couldn’t go there. When he starts to build a seemingly innocent friendship with her, he realizes he likes having her in his life. He finds a need to protect her, keep her close and safe from harm. Watching over her in Sin City he quickly learns that he is powerless to resist wanting her. They tumble into one night of sizzling sex that later becomes more than Ben can handle.




My Review:

     Deep, book four in the Stage Dive series has been anxiously anticipated yet I am so sad that it’s over. All good things must come to an end as they say. Kylie Scott did an amazing job bringing this series to a close. Lizzy and Ben’s story was fantastic; their tentative friendship in the beginning was fun and thrilling to read. Taking us on a ride filled with comical banter and sexual innuendo via text messages and through unexpected face to face encounters. Ben surprises Lizzy a few times showing up to boss her around I loved it. Boy did Lizzy give it back to him, totally his match. Ben feels his attraction to Lizzy, but is afraid to pursue her because he doesn’t do commitment and Lizzy deserves more than that.

     Ben doesn’t want to betray Mal and Anne by getting involved with her little sister. Especially since there can’t be any future for them. His bandmates decided to go for the brass wedding bands, white picket fences and all that. So totally not for him, right? We could tell right from the start that Lizzy was someone special even if Ben didn’t want to admit she was for him. I loved their friendship, especially when they try to navigate a new kind relationship for the sake of their child. Mal was his usual crazy self though I did not envy Ben when Mal found out that he knocked up Lizzy. Jimmy and Lena were weird and fun, as I would expect. David and Evie as in love as ever, always trying to be the voices of reason in the chaos. Jimmy gives Ben advice on how to deal with a pregnant Lizzy I thought that conversation was priceless. The girl chats are pretty freaking crazy too; love how these girlfriends hang with each other. I have grown accustom to Kylie’s style of writing that has me laughing out loud one minute and an emotional wreck the next.

     Kylie really did all of the characters justice in this last book of the series. The epilogue was great and had me seeing Martha a little differently; I hope to get her story one day. I was thrilled when Kylie introduced us to Vaughan and I can’t wait to get his story, from the glimpses we got of him in Deep it promises to be a good one. I despise spoilers so you have to read Deep for yourself to see if Ben wises up and decides to grab the girl and a chance at real happiness. In the meantime, I will again anxiously await Kylie Scott’s next book release.

Excerpt
“C’mon. How have you been, really? What’s been going on with you?” he pushed. I frowned at him and he frowned right back. “Liz, please.”
I groaned in defeat. “All right, I suck.”
“Why do you suck?”
“So very many reasons.” I pushed my hair back from my face—no more hiding. “Pregnancy sucks. It’s natural, my ass. I finally stop throwing up, but I’m tired all the time. Giving up coffee was horrendous. None of my clothes fit right because of these stupid breasts, and they ache constantly. I have to pee like every thirty seconds, and then to top it off, I cry every time the Healthy Hound ad comes on. It’s ridiculous”
Little wrinkles appeared either side of his nose. “You cry at a dog food ad?”
“Yes. The puppies jump all over each other to get to their mother and it’s just so beautiful, with their cute little tails wagging and everything.”
He just stared at me.
“I know its psycho, Ben. Believe me, I’m well aware of this.”
“Hey, it’s fine.” He covered a smile with his hand. Too late, the bastard.
“You try dealing with all these hormones going apeshit. Crap. Apeshoot.”
Apeshoot?”
“I’m trying not to swear,” I explained. “You want the first word our child comes out with to be something bad?”
“No. Gotcha.” The man was incredibly bad at hiding a grin. “No swearing.”

First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels.

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward--full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That's when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he'd violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She's been terrified of him ever since, but she's even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She's living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there's only one man she can trust to go with her--the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it'll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...


Excerpt from Silver Bastard

“The Longnecks—they’re the MC my stepdad hung around with—they kept a lot of club whores around. Do the Silver Bastards do that, too?”

“Yup,” she replied. “It’s a free country and the brothers bring guests here all the time. Some of them stick around, some of them don’t. Some find they aren’t as welcome as they thought.”

“Doesn’t that bother you?”

Boonie’s dick is the only one that matters to me,” she replied, her voice matter-of-fact. “As for the women, I care less about who they’re sleeping with than how they act the rest of the time. Like I said, fuck with the sisters and you won’t last. Bridget won’t be back if she keeps this shit up.”

“Old ladies didn’t get to make those decisions in the Long- necks.”

Darcy smiled sweetly. “We don’t get to make those decisions in the Silver Bastards, either. Yet the right decisions still magically happen. Nobody knows how, really. Guess it’s just all our good karma coming back to us.”

My mouth dropped. Darcy winked.

“You think those men don’t need us?” she asked. “Boonie likes sleeping next to me. Gets cold and lonely when all the old ladies take a girls’ weekend in Seattle. Would be even colder and lonelier if we didn’t come back, and one time we forgot to for nearly a week. Fortunately things worked out and we found our way home again. Now things tend to work out faster.”

My eyes went wide.

“You serious?”

“Do I look like a woman who will eat shit?”

Point taken.

“Let’s get this trash out. I’m sure Puck will be looking for you  soon, and I want to make sure all the girls meet you first. That boy’s crazy about you—it’s cute. Like a pit bull crushing on a kitten.”
