As one of the top trauma surgeons in Plenty’s ER, Dr. Taggart Hayes knows how to fix broken things—fractured legs, ruptured spleens, allergies, and traumatic brain injuries. He can put them back together good as new. A broken heart, though? That’s a bit trickier. Especially when it’s his own. When Tag swipes on the photo of the hot man in the dating app, he just wants a distraction from the wreck … distraction from the wreck that used to be his life. A one-night stand with a safely inappropriate stranger, no names, no feelings, and no complications.
But the headless photo on the app belongs to a man who isn’t so easy to forget the next day… or the next week. And it becomes increasingly clear that Bass is neither safe nor uncomplicated. Drawn into the dark, criminal underworld his lover inhabits, Tag has to decide if the cure for his broken heart is worse than the disease.

If you’re in the mood for a gay Sons of Anarchy-like story, which in the end doesn’t ask you to romanticize a gangster (thank you!!!), this is the book you want. It’s hot, which is always appreciated, but it’s also honest about the complicated emotions tangled up in relationships that have ended (not just romantic ones, but also family and friendships) and how they don’t always bring out the best in people.
Had I known that this was the same Plenty that both Javi and Cloister lived in, I would have picked this up sooner. There were things that I really enjoyed, namely Bass and his little misleading words that hinted at something more. I knew he was not what he seemed. That was a pleasant development. I also enjoyed dual POV which really made this story so good for me. Another surprising fact was the amount of steam. It was hotter and way more than I expected from this author. I loved it. The danger and a bit of drama in the end cinched this as a decent fast paced read for me.
Rough bikers galore, action, suspense and a small dose of romance made this almost perfect. I couldn’t help but wonder how I missed Tag falling so hard for Bass. It was just a bit too much. I wanted them more in lust and slightly affectionate at that point rather than madly in love. Oh well, I’ll take that with a bit of salty grain. I never warmed up to Kieran, Tag’s ex, and I think his whole lets be friends attitude could take a hike with his so called lover Freddy. Total POS. I loved Cloister and Bourneville cameo appearance. Agent Merlo was shown from a different angle – not as a peer but a bit of superior role here. Overall, I liked it and will read the next book when it comes out.
In my opinion, ‘s selling point is Tag. He’s amazing: generous, kind,with a caring heart that’s gotten him in trouble more than once. The beginning of the book has Tag at a awful time in his life. He has to work with his cheating ex and his new boyfriend(both hateful douches),he’s the center of the hospital’s gossip mill and I think that the author did a wrong choice with assigning Ned as Tag’s best friend, because the man runs his mouth on everything Tag confides to him(bad,bad friend).
The one good thing Ned did,though,was insist on Tag download some hookup apps. Otherwise, the disillusioned doc would never of have met Bass and bring excitement to his life. And after one hot,passionate night together, neither of the two could stop thinking about the other.
Did I like Bass? Not really. What I mean is that he’s too jaded,too used to lying,with too many hidden agendas and with no qualms about who ends up as collateral damage of his schemes. But… I liked him with and for Tag. They share a deep connection, a need for each other that has gotten in their bloodstream and they don’t even try to deny it or fight it(at least not too much,lol).
Bass brings Tag into his dangerous bike club life and is not only a hot/sweet romance, but has also an action and violence filled plotline,with twists,turns and surprises. Some I saw coming,others I did not,and I was always intrigued and fascinated. Mostly, as I already said,because of Tag’s sweet,endearing personality and as I hoped,Bass’s slowly redeeming himself.
Loved it.
I don’t what it was about this book but from the minute I opened it up and started reading,I was hooked. I took a chance on a new author and now I’m wanting to read more! I seriously loved Tag and Bass from their first meet. They just had chemistry despite it being a one night thing that turned into more..Tag is a doctor and truly cares about his job but he’s heartbroken and lonely. He needs to get over his ex and seeing him with the man he cheated on him with. Bass, on the other hand, was a biker. This was truly an opposite attract kinda romance. This was a great book with a story line that will keep you hooked until the very end!! I loved the banter between these two as well. The trying to get Tag to dirty talk was hilarious..he just wasn’t good at it AT ALL lol. This does have a twist that you wonder about but wasn’t entirely sure if it was true but that’s just me..
This was my first TA Moore book, and I love her voice. These heroes feel real and so do the freaking DANGEROUS situations they get into. Their road to love is a rough one, with more than a few twists, and it makes their HEA that much more rewarding. Recommended!
“Swipe” has everything I crave for in a novel. It has heat, danger, tension, mystery, violence, action and a snarky bad-ass biker.
Be careful what you swipe for! ER Dr. Taggart “Tag” Hayes’ life is in a bit of a turmoil. A bad break-up and he’s throwing in the towel. On a stormy night he takes a chance and swipes.
Bass is a bad-ass biker. When Tag shows up at his door soaked to the gills there’s no turning back. The one thing Bass is up front about, he’s a liar.
Is one hook-up enough? Or is Bass going to drag Tag into a sinister and dangerous world of a notorious MC gang.
TA Moore never disappoints when I’m looking for a novel with: danger, suspense, action, heat, mystery and twists. I like that she takes two unlikely characters and little by little brings on surprises. Tag is just not a meek, mild doctor. He sometimes makes decisions that cross the line. Bass is a mystery in himself. He’ll do anything to get in deeper with the dangerous biker gang.
Those familiar with “Digging up Bones” series. will recognize some cameo’s by a couple characters. It was fun to see them back in action and I’m hoping they show up in more “Plenty” stories.
I don’t know how TA Moore does it, but novel after novel she finds a way to make each and everyone uniquely exciting and action packed. I’m excited to see what TA Moore has planned for the “Plenty, California” series.
If you are a fan of MM romantic mystery/action suspense you don’t want to miss this one. Raw, gritty, hot, one of TA Moore’s best works so far. I couldn’t put it down. This was probably the most unlikely pairing of MC’s or at least it seems so at the beginning. Their chemistry is of the charts but their lives are worlds apart, so how can they possibly make it work? The story is full of twists and turns, but in the end all of the pieces fall together. I’m a very visual reader – the movie plays in my head all the time – and this is one of the reasons I love this author. She can build the sense of place and moods in a way that seems effortless, but in reality it takes a master. Her introduction of every character, no matter how small role they play is memorable – you’ll never need to search the book backwards asking yourself “who was that again?”.
The story takes place in the Plenty universe, so I really appreciated appearances of some of my favorite characters from Digging up bones series, but it can be read as a standalone with no problems at all. It was the series (2 books so far) that introduced me to this author and made me fall in love with her writing and characters. I feel that Tag and Bass (Swipe) and Javi and Cloister (Digging up bones) have a lot more to say, so I’m looking forward to future books in this ‘verse.
I loved Swipe, great premise and action packed story. I thought Bass and Tag were interesting men and I loved them both, maybe a little bit more I loved Bass. It was a hot, sexy, fast-paced book. Kept me reading in one gulp. I totally recommend this book and I look forward to reading more about Plenty, California. Plus it’s TA Moore book that doesn’t scare the bejesus out of me!
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.
