Favorite Quotes:
Nice guys are more endangered than the rhino these days.
I couldn’t agree more with the statement. Still, later on in the book we will have evidence that maybe a mix between the kinds is more preferable, if you know what I’m saying 🙂
Has to be a first in my life, that a woman doesn’t want a repeat from me. “Thanks”, she says and heads for my bike. Feels like she slapped me on the ass and sent me on my way. What the fuck just happened?
Ha! You did it girl! This moment was perfect 🙂 I loved that we get to see his reaction. This part made me laugh out loud!
I tap the smiley face button in my message app. Turns out there’s a million little pictures you can add to your message, most of which makes absolutely no sense. Who the fuck needs pictures of bananas and broccoli?
My feelings exactly 🙂 Expressed by a biker 🙂
That kind of problem-solving approach is why we can’t be together. I use my words – he uses his gun.
A short description of how things are between our main characters. Short and to the point. I liked that.
These were just a few of the lines that made me smile while reading Rev aka Jaxon Brady and Evie’s story. Here an excerpt to go along with them and let me know your thoughts, should you decide to read it.
Excerpt: Copyright © 2018 Ruled by Anne Marsh
I have to be more cautious. From the rising volume of the squeals emanating from the backyard, cake consumption has concluded and the party will be wrapping up as the sugar highs hit, the early departers fleeing past my RV parked out front. Spotting the princess in an R-rated embrace with a biker would be bad for my business. You can’t be a dirty girl and host children’s birthday parties for a living. The moms will kill you. Fortunately, the moms aren’t mind readers. I’m only a party-perfect princess on the outside. Riding anywhere with Rev would be career suicide.
My bad voice promptly weighs in. But only if you get caught.
“I don’t do bikers.”
Something flashes across Rev’s face. “You don’t get hurt on my watch. I promise.”
“You’re not an ax murderer?”
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the wallet attached to his belt by a silver chain. Silently, he flips it open and holds it out so I can read his driver’s license. There’s a military ID underneath it, too, the kind of card that gets you into Nellis Air Force Base.
“Your name isn’t Rev.” According to the State of Nevada’s laminated plastic, he’s one Jaxon Brady.
“Road name,” he says tersely.
I examine the license again. He’s also turning thirty-three in four weeks. I bet he won’t be booking a celebratory princess party.
“Wow.” I hand back his wallet. “Former navy?”
He nods, as if it’s no big deal. “SEAL. You’d be safe with me.”
He’s not big on talking. Or negotiating, asking, or sweet-talking. I’ve always trusted my instincts, though, and right now they’re on board with Rev Brady. Completely, totally, 100 percent in favor of getting on this man’s bike and riding off with him. Somewhere. Wherever he wants to go. He’s big and strong and tempting. He’s fought for our country and kept everyone safe.
How bad can he be?
The little voice in my head pipes right up. How bad do you want him to be?
That voice needs a gag.
“Think about it,” he says and then he turns and saunters toward his bike. I stand there, watching his ass the whole way, and wondering why I don’t mind his attitude. He’s scary as shit. He’s not Mr. White Picket Fence and he’s not promising happily ever after, but the man has a fantastic butt and I’m lonely. That’s all it is. I need to get out more, need to make a point of seeing someone.
Someone else.
Anyone else. There are absolutely, positively no bikers anywhere in my future.
