Swipe

Let me start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed this book! There’s a trope in here that I can’t talk about because it is a spoiler, but it’s one of my faves, and it always sucks me right in and gets me emotionally invested. This time around was no exception to that rule!

Tag is an ED trauma surgeon who, despite all he has seen, remains committed to the belief that people are inherently good. Just two months out of a years-long relationship, he can’t understand why his friends are pushing him to date already. Then he sees his ex with the reason they broke up – the other man – and suddenly a one night stand seems like a pretty darned good idea.

Bass is gobsmacked at the stunning man standing at his door in a tuxedo. He is clearly miles away from anything Bass knows, but nope, he’s not at the wrong address, and he’s ready to do whatever Bass wants. But Bass is trying to get patched in with an MC, and this sexy do-gooder of a doc doesn’t exactly fit the image he’s going for.

From the start there was steam and lots of it. The chemistry between Tag and Bass was palpable, and even though I was screaming ‘stay away doc, he’s no good for you!’ I was also hoping that Bass had some redeeming qualities hidden away somewhere.

This wasn’t as deep a novel as I’m used to from Moore’s writing. The locale didn’t really play into it much despite it being a focal point to bind the stories together. I hope that more is revealed as the series continues.

The pacing starts out fairly slow, and just about the time you start wondering if this is going to be worth it, the entirety gets flipped like an overturned cake and WHAM! It takes off at full speed and never slows down again.

I enjoyed the plot, the chemistry, the growth of both characters, and the ending. I wish there had been a more in-depth world build, and there were parts that seemed rather superficial and/or superfluous. However, overall it was quite a good read. I definitely recommend it, and I will be waiting for the next to come out. I’m rating this at 3.5 stars, rounding up for sites that don’t accept halves.



I voluntarily read an ARC copy of this book from T.A. Moore with hopes for but no obligation to provide a review.

**Same worded review will appear on Divine Magazine, Goodreads, and Amazon.com.**

Swipe by TA Moore was given to me in exchange for an honest review. Taggert, meets Bass through an online hook up app little did he know that Bass would become so very important to him despite his bad boy reputation and lifestyle. I absolutely loved this book, it has twists, turns, some surprises and a visit from some old friends. TA has a way with words that places you right into the city and scene that is so vivid you can smell the antiseptic in the hospital’s ER. I am looking forward to the next installment.

Swipe is an exciting romantic thriller with unexpected twists and turns. It features a hard-edged biker named Bass, trying to become a member of a criminal MC and a do-good ER doctor named Tag, looking for some easy sex after being cheated on by his long-term boyfriend. Tag gets far more than he bargained for when he swipes right and hooks up with Bass. But what does Bass’s sketchy lifestyle matter if it’s just a hookup? And what happens when that one night stand starts to turn into more than Tag bargained for? I really enjoyed Swipe and had a hard time putting it down.
