ARC Review: Ends Here by M. Robinson


Ends Here is the sequel to Road to Nowhere by M. Robinson. This book is not a standalone, so if you haven't read Road to Nowhere you will need to start there first as this is the continuation of Mia and Creed's story. This series is a spin-off of the Good Ol Boys series, which I also recommend though you do not need to read those books to understand these two. 

Ends Here picks up where Road to Nowhere left off, with Creed and Mia's lives about to change once again. I don't really want to go into detail so as not to spoil anything, but trust me when I tell you it is anything but an easy ride. We do get all our questions answered though, and there is so much more going on than I had guessed. I loved finally getting to see who and what had been behind the ending of the first book. I will say that M. Robinson threw me for a loop more than once, and kept me guessing all the way through. 

I really loved Mia and Creed in the first book, and I just kept hoping that they would finally get their HEA after all they had been through. Things definitely weren't easy here though, and I really began to wonder how it would be possible for any of these characters to get the ending they deserved. I was so torn with Noah, because while I liked him and felt like he deserved a happy ending the only thing I saw him as here was an obstacle for Mia and Creed. Things definitely didn't go as I would have predicted, and if I am honest there were some things that I really struggled with. The chemistry and connection between all these characters was still alive and well, but things were so much more complicated here than they were in the first book if that is even possible. 

While I did like the ending of this book and how things turned out, there were some things that really bothered me and were hard to get over. M. Robinson's writing was amazing and the story was good, but there were some parts of this story that kept me from being able to love the book like I had hoped. I just wasn't able to be okay with some of the things that happened, no matter how things ultimately played out. This series is still worth the read though as I loved the characters even if I didn't always love their actions. I look forward to reading more from M. Robinson in the future, especially the next spin-off which will feature a character that I was really intrigued with here.

ARC Review: Keeping Her Wet by M. Robinson


I absolutely love M. Robinson's books, and I am always really excited to see when she has a new one coming out. Keeping Her Wet is unlike any of her previous books though, in that it is a novella featuring several of her previous characters. Each couple gets one sexy chapter with their very own scene, and let me tell you M. Robinson definitely brings the heat here. Each couple's chapter is a standalone scene and you do not need to have read all of M.'s books to enjoy this. 

I won't go into all the details here about what each chapter is about, but we do get scenes featuring Sebastian and Ysabelle and Mika and The Madam from The VIP Trilogy, Devon and Brooke from Tempting Bad, James and Gianna from Two Sides Gianna, Lucas and Alex, Jacob and Lily, Dylan and Aubrey, Austin and Briggs from The Good Ol’ Boys Series, Martinez and Lexi from El Diablo (Good Ol' Boys Spin-off) and Creed and Mia Mia's newest couple from Road to Nowhere and the upcoming Ends Here. I absolutely loved getting to check in with some of my favorite characters as well as getting to know a few that I didn't already know. After finishing this sexy novella, I will definitely be picking up the ones I haven't already read. 

I was a bit worried about how this one would go, seeing as how they are just chapters/scenes from different couples and I thought it might be a bit disjointed and feel thrown together. That definitely wasn't the case here though, and I thought it flowed well. I loved it from start to finish and was so glad that I read this one. If you are a fan of M.'s and are looking for something quick and super sexy, you are definitely going to want to pick this one up! I will admit that I am a bit greedy though and would love to get even more. Hopefully down the road M. Robinson might do something like this again to give us more of our favorite characters as I love being able to check in into their HEAs.

ARC Review: Road to Nowhere by M. Robinson


Road to Nowhere is a spin-off of M. Robinson's The Good Ol' Boys series, but you do not need to have read those books to understand anything here. Fans will recognize Creed from El Diablo and Mia as the only daughter of Bo and Half Pint. While this book stands alone from those books, it does end with a cliffhanger though Robinson assures readers that we wont be left hanging long. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to hear that as I have to know what happens for these two next! 

Creed and Mia meet and their story is set in motion spanning several years. They are 9 years apart in age, though their connection is unlike anything that they have ever felt with anyone else. It is instant and strong, seeing them through many ups and downs. As much as Creed tries to fight it, he knows that his love for Mia is what keeps him going. As the son of the Prez of the Devil's Rejects MC, he knew his life was planned before he was born, but that won't stop him from fighting for what really matters. Mia is determined to show Creed that they belong together despite their differences, but with every step forward they take there seems to be that many more obstacles that threaten to stand in their way. 

I will warn readers that this book will not be for everyone. I mentioned above that these two are 9 years apart in age, but the story starts off with these two meeting when Mia is only nine. Though they meet when she is just a child, their connection grows over time. While I was able to enjoy this story for what it is, I know that some will have a problem with how things progress between these two and the age that they are when that begins to happen. I won't spoil the story by going into detail, but trust me when I tell you that this book is worth the read even knowing that things start off at a young age for Mia. I really felt the connection between these two was real and genuine, and the ages they were didn't play a huge factor in that for me because of what they shared. 

Overall, I couldn't put this book down. It had me right from the start, and I was on the edge of my seat anxious to see how things would play out here. If you have read M. Robinson's books before, you know that she writes books that are edgy and raw, keeping the reader emotionally invested right from the start and that was definitely the case with Road to Nowhere. None of her books have an easy journey for the couple, but I think that is what I love about them. They all feel so real and show that true love is worth every up and down that it takes to get there. Creed and Mia's story is far from over, and I honestly can't wait for more. I love M. Robinson's books, and this one is up there with my favorites from her and I really think that her writing seems to get better with each book. I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment of Creed and Mia's story to see what happens next!

ARC Review: Crave Me by M. Robinson


Crave Me is the fourth standalone story in the Good Ol' Boys series by M. Robinson. These can be read out of order, but for full enjoyment I would recommend reading in order if possible. I knew that Austin's story was going to be a tough one to get through from glimpses we have seen as this series has continued and it definitely was at times. But I also loved him and couldn't put this book down because I had to know what would happen. Crave Me was emotionally intense and I was invested right away.

Austin always felt like he was on the outside looking in. Though he was surrounded by friends and family, he never felt as though he fit with any of them. Until he met Briggs. She was everything that he had been looking for and more, and she became his high. But as they grew closer, Briggs and Austin found themselves going down a road that they never could expected, and soon they were both facing the fact that though they cared about each other, their relationship could also be their demise. 

I was so invested in these characters right away. Though I couldn't personally relate to what they were going through, I felt like I was so emotionally involved. My heart broke for these two for so many reasons. Briggs had a childhood that I couldn't even imagine and it changed the person she became. Austin was surrounded by people who should have supported him unconditionally, yet they had a hand in becoming the person he was. These two understood one another and connected right away. As much as they wanted to be there for one another though, they were each struggling with things that they had never dealt with. The love and chemistry between them was something that I never questioned, that was obvious right away. But these two went through so much and I just kept hoping that they would be able to find a way to be together. 

Overall, this was a really great book and I couldn't stop reading it. I devoured it and went through so many emotions here. I will be honest, this book isn't an easy one to get through. There is heartbreak and pain, and some topics that might be tough for some to handle. But to me, going through all of that is what made this one worth it in the end. To see the growth and healing that all these characters went through to get to where they were at the end was something that made the pain and suffering they did a little more bearable. After reading Crave Me, I can't wait for the spin-off for Alejandro Martinez. I won't go into detail here so as not to spoil anything, but after this book I am so curious about him and can't wait to see what is in store after the ending here! If you haven't read anything by M. Robinson before, you are seriously missing out. Her stories are emotional and intense, and I really love that they are each unique and different. They aren't for the faint of heart, but I think that is what makes them work the read every time.

ARC Review: Undo Me by M. Robinson


Undo Me is the third book in the Good Ol' Boys series from M. Robinson. Each book is a standalone story with interconnected characters. This book had me from the very first page, and I couldn't put it down. This book wrecked me, and brought out all the feels. I couldn't get enough though, and I read the entire thing in one sitting. 

Dylan McGraw was known for being a player until he met Aubrey. Everything changed when she came into his life and the two of them fell in love. Aubrey had been dealing with a lot and Dylan was there for her when she needed someone. But just as things appear to be on their way to forever for them, something awful happened that changed their lives forever. Years pass, and both of them try to move on from the pain and heartache of their past. Yet the connection between them is one that neither of them can forget. 

I felt so bad for everything that these two went through. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse for them it did. Aubrey had been so strong and sassy, and to see her go through all that she did was absolutely gut wrenching! I hated that these two had everything stolen from them, especially when it was so clear that what they had was special and so rare. I never gave up hope that these two could find a way back to one another, and it was anything buy easy. But their connection and chemistry was undeniable and I knew that no matter what happened or tried to keep them a part that there was something unbreakable about what they shared. 

Overall, this book was really tough to get through at times because there were so many bad things that happened. Yet I couldn't put it down, and I was so invested in their story that it felt like my own heart was literally breaking at times. These two were meant for one another, and I just had to hold onto the hope that things would work out like they were supposed to. M. Robinson is a great writer, and I really felt like she did the characters and the story justice.There were a lot of subjects here that are hard to handle, and I felt like she really did it right. I honestly can't wait for the next book in this series and I think that a lot of readers will really feel this story as much as I did. It was full of angst and rough times, but it was also filled with love. I highly recommend this one and I already can't wait for M. Robinson's next book!
