PRE-Order HERE!!


What Marissa Johnson never expected when she came to Illinois to tour her brother's Alma mater was meet the man who would haunt her dreams.
Once introduced, she knew she would do anything to stay close to him and hope for a chance.

Mike Harrison never expected to fall for his old college friends little sister. Defending his heavy weight title and having any woman he wanted wasn't enough to keep him away any longer.

Two years came and went while neither of them acted on their wants or desires. All of that changes when someones grief brings the two together into a situation they can't ignore any longer. 

But what happens when insecurity, jealousy, and lack of faith come into play? Can these two overcome the obstacles thrown in their path or will it all come crashing down around them?








"You're worth the fight."- Mike 

I am pleased and sad at the same time to write this review. It's the end for an amazing series. First off, I can say I've grown to love this author and became friends with her. From the very first book I was hooked. With each book, they just progressively gotten better and better. I love watching authors grow, it's such a big perk for us bloggers, and I got to see that with Barb.

With Fighting Fate, we get to meet Marissa Johnson. She's the younger sister of one of the friends from the original gang, that we fell in love with.

Marissa has had a secret, well, kind of. She's be in love with her brothers best friend. The one and only Mike Harrison. MMA fighter, woman lover, Mike Harrison. She's watched he from afar for the last few years. With one night, both their feelings will be let loose, and each will no longer have to hide what they feel... Maybe.

"Can you just let fate happen? We are in this together. You and me."- Marissa

Mike has always has his eye on "Daisy" Marissa, but never made a move. But it's time, time to stop fighting fate and take a leap of faith. They may both get hurt in the process, but it's better to live and love, than not to love at all... Right!

"You realize you can't fight fate. Things always end up the way they are meant to."- Zoey



Guys, this book is amazing. We're just not following Marissa and Mike, we get peeks into the life of the originals we fell in love with from the previous books. We get to see where they are and what life has thrown them, and I can say I couldn't been happier to revisit them. This is a all encompassing love story, with its bumps and turns, heart ache and sadness. You ever wanted to scream at a author before? I did, I wanted to scream at Barb and tell her 'No, you can't. Why?!' Lol! Both these characters are fighting the inevitable. Mike, damn, I absolutely love him and his caveman ways, lol. He's such a strong, take charge, alpha male. When he has want he wants, he'll do everything in his power to keep it and fight. Marissa, her character is amazing. She's so full of life, happiness, but also a little scared to put herself out there. He's Mike F'in Harrison for goodness sakes. Wouldn't you? This book isn't all roses and sunshine. It has its heartache, and boy did my heartache. You'll see for yourself and will totally agree. Barbara gave us an amazing final book for this series. She gave us what we needed. But let me tell you, it's only the beginning for more amazingness for Barb. Oh, it is!!! I can't wait to see what this amazing author has in store for us all. Thank you for giving us readers such a great series. A series we can relate to. One that we can feel in the depth of our bones. Thank you!!! 5 STARS!!!

Who is Emily Eck?

Emily is a Midwestern Gal hailing from the United States, but could be anywhere as you read this. Currently residing in Mexico, adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material. She loves kids and working with kids, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life. After coming from a snowy climate, Emily and the animals are loving the sun Mexico has to offer each and every day. Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story. Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of. You can contact her on any of the social media platforms below and she will respond, as her mom gave her the gift of gab.

Synopsis


Three little words are all it takes to rip his world apart. Lost in his own affliction, Sy has been living in a darkness that he doesn't ever want to let go of. 



Until she arrives and shines her light so bright that nothing else mattered.

She was only in it for the chase, for the thrill of capturing the unattainable.
But what happens when her world shatters around her, spiraling her into the darkness beside him?

Can his affliction be her resurrection?
Or will two lost souls living in the depths of deception let it destroy them?


***



Affliction-
1. A state of pain, distress or grief; misery:

We got acquainted with Holly and Sy in the first book, but now it's time for them to tell their story.

I know like me, all of you wondering what was goin PB on with Sy and Holly in Incandescent, know my friends we get to know that and so much more. 

Sy is a bad ass, brooding, quite Brother of Knights Rebels MC. He has a past he keeps quite about, one that fills him with pain. He's surrounded by darkness, that's until Holly and her light comes into his life.

Holly wants Sy, she tries so hard, but he always pushes her away. But with his attitude and looks, she has to have "Sunshine".

"I'm not letting you get lost again. I'm not letting you become me."-Sy

When her life is almost taken and she looses something she didn't even know she wanted, will she let her affliction rule her, or will she overcome it.

"You made me forget, Holly. You came and eased the pain, and I don't want to lose this feeling."- Sy

These two will always be drawn to one another, but will it ever move from just friends? Will they both open up and let the darkness inside them go? Will they let their afflictions rule them? Or will they forever try to mask it. Only time will tell for Holly and Sy.

"The taste of this man is like a drug that I've been craving, a drug that will fix a little bit of the broken inside of me "- Holly


Affliction isn't your typical MC book. Oh hell no, not by a mile. This book has so many levels. So many emotions. One's that will have you crying, laughing, cringing and shaking. These two characters pull you in from the moment we meet them. They are both so opposite, but then they become the same. They both change in so many ways throughout this amazing book. Sy is such a great male character, he's seriously one of my favorites. This big bad biker, that puts off not having any emotions, but man are we so wrong. He has a few demons that won't let him go, but maybe with Holly's help, he will finally be able to. Holly was an outgoing, smartass, sexy funny character, but with one horrible night, it will take that all away from her. She has a huge secret she's keeping from someone who means so much to her. Will this secret destroy any chance that they had? With help and time, will she be able to over come this grief and pain she's living with. Will the Holly we've come to love, come back? Get ready for an all encompassing emotional book. And I can't forget the pure sexiness in this book. Holy crap. Can you say ruined panties. Damn that Sy and his dirty filthy mouth. Damn, I want one of him for Christmas, please!! Once again, River Savage hit it out of the park with Affliction. She not only gave us a MC read, but a love story that's a journey. A book that's so full of emotions, you'll be drained once you finish. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next, and I know without a doubt it will be truly amazing. I wish I could give this book 10 STARS, but since I can't it will get the 5 STARS it so deserves.

Excerpt


“What the fuck are you doing in my club?” he asks again, moving his body closer.

“Your club?” I ask, raising my brow. “Last time I checked, I came here with my best friend, not to see you, so if you’ll excuse me,” I say, trying to push off the wall, but he steps right in, his knee coming between my legs.

“You gonna fuck him?” he growls, his eyes growing angrier by the second.

“Maybe,” I tell him, knowing he’s talking about Jesse. “I wonder if he will leave me standing naked after a quick fuck up against the wall,” I continue. His hold on me gets tighter. I know I shouldn’t tease him with my words, but he’s seriously delusional if he thinks he has any claim over me.

“I knew you were a tease, but I didn’t know you wanted to be a club whore,” he replies, and I try not to let his words sting.

“Are you done?”

“Are you?” he counters.

“You left me standing there. I didn’t fucking do anything. What are you so angry about?”

“You coming into my club, throwing yourself at one of my brothers.”

“Jeez, get over yourself, Sy. Jesse was just showing me around the place. And if I decide I want to have sex with him, or anyone else for that matter, I’ll do what I want. You don’t fucking own me. You had me, fine, but it was mediocre at best, so keep your hands off me,” I snap, trying to get out of his hold.

“Mediocre?” he repeats back to me. I’m so pissed at his attitude I don’t falter in repeating it.

“At best.”

“Didn’t feel like that when your cunt was gripping my cock like a vice,” he throws back, his words causing my pussy to throb.

“That’s called pelvic floor muscle exercises,” I say, ignoring my body’s response to having him so close.

“Right,” he whispers, leaning further into me, “and what about when I dragged my tongue through that sweet pussy of yours, and lapped up your juices dripping from you?” he questions. It takes everything in me not to respond. “Now that I think about it, when you walked into my shop, all pissed off, you were walking like you had been fucked so hard. Did you feel me for days, sweetheart?” he continues, pushing into me further. “I bet your pussy is aching for me now, isn’t it, Holly?” he asks, his lips so dangerously close to my neck.

Fuck me. Two seconds ago I hated the man, and now I’m trying to squeeze my thighs together to stop the ache coming from my lady parts.

“Too bad you won't find out,” I counter, staying strong. I might want him more than anything, but he is still an ass.

“I don’t even need to touch you to find out. It’s written all over your face, Holly.”

“Whatever, Sy. Let me go.”

“You know I’m right. You’re so fucking turned on right now and so frustrated you’re not going to get any relief,” he teases, telling me what I already know.

“There’s always Jesse,” I threaten, trying to get a reaction from him.

“Like fuck,” he spits out, pushing his hard cock against me. “You’re not gonna let that fucker touch you. Do you understand me? None of my brothers will taste your pussy. Do you hear me?” His hand runs up my leg, running along my short denim skirt and finding the outside of my panties. A small gasp leaves my lips at his feather-light touch. “This sweet pussy belongs to me. I fucking had it first. Now, it’s mine.”

“No, it’s not,” I fight back, but my mind is too busy memorizing each lazy stroke of his finger over my lace panties.

“It will be again,” he warns before taking my mouth hard, suppressing me with his tongue. His fingers pull my panties aside, slipping in and dancing over my aching heat.

“Shit,” I breathe against his lips, forgetting where I am for a moment. Forgetting we can’t stand each other.

“You want relief, Holly?” he asks as my hips start to ride the rhythm of his talented fingers.

“Yes, give it to me, Sy,” I plead, feeling myself build with each flick of his finger.

“Say please,” he demands, slipping his thick finger inside of me.

“Please, Sy,” I cry out as he pumps me harder.

“That’s it, girl. Fuck my finger,” he growls. The heat of his voice causes goose bumps to break out on my skin. A wave of impending bliss washes over me, and then my orgasm hits, hard and fast.

“Sy,” I hiss, but don’t get anything else out as his tongue is dancing with mine again, muffling my shouts of ecstasy. His taste reminds me of beer, mint, and all things Sy. He latches onto my tongue, sucking it hard into his mouth, sending pleasure and pain rolling through my body.



Fuck, this man is dangerous with his bad-boy attitude, his sexy as hell dirty mouth and his ability to take me on the highest of highs in less than a minute. He slows the kiss, lingering for a moment before resting his forehead on mine. This right here is why this man is dangerous: bringing me apart in the middle of the club, and making me forget I hate him. Removing his fingers, he brings them to his mouth and sucks them clean.

Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult. 



Until he meets Kadence.

Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight. 

The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.
