The Burg Series by Kristen Ashley
Kristen Ashley has a way of writing cool, tough, HOT alpha males like nobody else. Almost all of her men are good guys in security, policework or something similar. They are straight shooters who are old fashioned in many ways. They pay, they protect their women, and they always man-up. The heroines are all women I would love to have as friends. The characters in her books I have read so far tend to be older (30-40s), often with kids, and usually getting a second chance at love. There is some major suspense mixed in with great sex, great endings and even better epilogues. Kristen Ashley’s writing style is very unique. All of her characters have a tough, “motorcycley” (I know-that’s not a word) way of talking, women and men. But they all seem so cool and down to earth. I want to move to the burg!
In this series, the first book was actually the one I liked the least, yet I still really enjoyed it. All of her books are nice and long, have action up through the end, and are priced great! Reading order:

“… she tipped her head back and in his ear, she whispered, “Since I was three, there’s never been a day when I wasn’t in love with you.”

2. At Peace (The ‘Burg Series 2)
“You’re mine, the girls are mine. I’m stakin’ my claim with you right now…”
“You’re unbelievable,” I snapped.
“I’m yours.”
That socked me in the gut… Taking advantage, his face dipped close and his hands curled around both sides of by head.
“First fuckin’ time you smiled at me in my bed, that’s when it happened,” he murmered.”
OMG…LOVE this book!

3. Golden Trail (The ‘Burg Series 3)
“Live this with me, just live it, whatever happens, however it happens, live it with me for two days. It doesn’t go the way you like, we’ll talk Monday night. It goes the way you like, we live it real and ride it out. Will you give me that, honey?”

4. Games of the Heart (The ‘Burg Series 4)
“You’re right, I’m here to right wrongs and I’m gonna do it, Angel. You told me I’d had my last chance but I don’t accept that and I won’t. If you tell me now that my explanation is not enough and you want me gone, I’m not goin’. I’m not giving up. I got one part of my life’s dream still open to me, every sign she gives me is screaming that she’s standing in my arms right now and I’m not gonna be ninety years old, looking back on my life and regretting that I gave up that dream.”
♥Dusty & Mike♥
5. The Promise (The ‘Burg Series)
“You’re crazy-brave, babe,” he said quietly…You’re crazy-beautiful and I ‘spect you been that way all your life. You’re crazy funny. You’re crazy sweet…Seven years I been fuckin’ up. Right now, that shit ends.”
♥Frankie & Benny♥
6. Hold On (The ‘Burg Series Book 6)
“You got good, you don’t let it go. It lets you go, you hold on. It slips though your fingers, you pull out all the stops to get it back. You got somethin’ worth fighting for, you fight for it. You do not sit on your ass waitin’ for it to come back to you. You show whoever that is they mean something to you and you go all out on that, and the only way you go down is doin’ that shit swinging.”
♥Cher & Garrett♥
7. No Clue (A Short story in Loose Ends)
No Clue, a short story – Visit with Joe and Vi from At Peace of The ’Burg series and learn how Joe breaks up a fight between his sons, what Ryker’s up to and why, exactly, his wife Violet has no clue.
“It was also about a lot of laughter, quiet golden moments, silken moments of utter pride, and a shit ton of sex. In other words, he was living the life. He kinda knew he’d get that the minute he laid eyes on her. He fought it, but he still knew. Thank God he quit fighting. “

I love this series! I’ve read reread it several times and I think it’s better each time. At Peace, with Cal and Violet, is my fave of the series. They’re all really good. I’m so ready for Frankie and Benny’s book. I completely agree about the length of her books. There’s been many times I think I’m closing in on the end, but when I check my ereader, I’m thrilled to find I’m only halfway done 🙂
