It's an age-gap alpha-hole romance with strong emotions and secrets to be revealed. This book is a great start to a new MC series. We got to learn who the characters were and some of the club's dynamics. All the things I've come to look for in Hayley's MC books are there. It's raw, dark, and she does not mince words. King is the VP of the Dark Horse MC and when he goes to make a delivery to his deadbeat parent's bar he realizes it's not there anymore. Instead, it's a bakery now and he meets the owner Shawn who he's immediately attracted to even if he tells himself she is too young for him. Shawn has been dreaming of having a bakery and saving for it since she was a teenager as a way to escape her dysfunctional home with her abusive and drug-addicted mother. Her bakery is struggling and while trying to figure out how to make it thrive she meets King who turns her world upside down. She's never known a man like him and can't help but be drawn to him. Unfortunately, there are things they both don't know about Shawn and some don't want them together or him to claim her. It comes down to a battle of life or death to be able to be together. I gave this a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. The determination in Shawn drew me in and although I didn't like King all that much in the beginning he turned out to be a good guy for her to be with. It was nice to see such a young naive woman like Shawn turn into a confident strong woman just by having someone to support and believe in her. Exactly what every woman wants and needs in their life. I can't wait to check out the next in the series Filthy Secret. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more
From The Ashes is the 2nd book in the Baton Rogue Bachelors Duet by K.E. Osborn. You can't read this book without reading Up In Flames first. This is From The Ashes is the 2nd book in the Baton Rogue Bachelors Duet by K.E. Osborn. You can't read this book without reading Up In Flames first. This is an opposites-attract romance that can go from sweet and romantic to hurtful and terrifying in minutes. The twists that came in this book I did not see coming which made reading it all the better. I loved being shocked with things I didn't see and this was a good one. Cain is the 2nd in command in the underground organization of the Baton Rogue Bachelors and he's fallen in love with Makaylie, a writer who lives in his apartment building and does not belong in his world. Cain has learned that he can't live without Makaylie so he has to find a way to protect her from the Bachelors. With the help of his roommate Rodberg, he is determined to find a way to keep her safe and hopefully himself too. Makaylie is pulled into a world she knows nothing about. She's tried avoiding Cain for weeks until her roommate Joey decides she needs to live again and drags her to a nightclub. That night changes her life forever and sets her on a path that she can't turn off of and the only thing saving her is Cain. Now he has to keep his secrets from getting them both killed. I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. Cain's determination to protect Makaylie at all costs and his choice to change his life for her was unique. Usually with alpha males like Cain the woman always has to change because the man won't. It's nice to see it the other way around for a change. And the twists and turns that surprised and shocked me just made the book all the better. I hate that it's a duet because I would like to see Cain and even Rodberg again. Definitely worth the read! *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more

It is a paranormal MC with mafia tie-ins and a phantom of the opera vibe. This was an emotional rollercoaster book that was really intense to read, you couldn't help but feel for the characters and root for them to get their vengeance that is owed. Before reading this book you need to read Manic Mayhem which is where this story starts. It is from the Mayhem Makers series and crosses over to the Royal Bastards MC. Manic knew he messed up when he let Bianca just walk away without putting up a fight for her to stay. While Bianca was saving herself from an enemy Manic was taking the devil's ride because he was offered the chance to switch clubs and become the Las Vegas chapters S.A.A. The only thing now standing in Manic's way of having Bianca is the demons of his past that happen to be her blood. Now with the Royal Bastards and Lucifer himself behind him, it was time to take care of them so Bianca would forever be safe instead of the pawn her grandfather is using for his gain. With his Phantom now a part of him and the Reapers by his side he goes to the Huber estate to take back what is his and Biancas once and for all. I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I enjoy everything about Manic from his traumatic childhood that turned him into the scarred shadow of the man he is today. His inner strength shines brighter than any darkness he holds inside of him. Bianca is the one who completes him bringing both sides of him together and accepting him for who he is. Nikki is starting this new chapter off with a bang and I can only see it getting better! *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more
Juniper Nyx's debut series The Unforgiven Souls MC just keeps getting better. The second book in the series is In The Light Of Sin and it's even betteJuniper Nyx's debut series The Unforgiven Souls MC just keeps getting better. The second book in the series is In The Light Of Sin and it's even better than the first. It's a grumpy sunshine, obsession dark romance. Every character in the series has deep-seated trauma that they deal with daily. Juniper hooks me with her books because she digs deep into the emotional trauma and internal wars the characters face. Like putting two completely broken people together and they fit like a puzzle. This is the first time I've read something this deep. You don't have to read the first book, Sins Of Betrayal, to know what's happening in this one, but I recommend it to have the entire story. Joslyn is a recovering alcoholic deaf woman who made so many wrong choices in her life that when she had the chance to be better and get out she took it. That freedom came with a price and she's been paying it ever since. She tries to hide the pain and her real self by always being positive and doing for others which makes her innocently naive. When her past puts her in the MC's crosshairs V, the club's S.A.A., has a need to protect her. She has thrown a wrench into his life of solitude and loneliness by bringing in the light. The closer they get the more of his old self comes back and he makes the decision that he'll give her his full self (without the hood) and protect her at all costs even against his club. And that decision might need to be made because the enemy is still out there and now inside their club too. With the unknown threat inside their club and their loyalties in question, the enemy might not be what takes down the MC but the brothers themselves. I gave this a 5-star rating and a 5-spicy rating. It has everything you want in a dark MC romance. There's violence, laughs, emotions, twists and turns, tears and heartbreak, love and over-the-top spiciness, family and friendship. So many little clues have been dropped in this book for what's to come it keeps you guessing. And I am taking Tyrant for my new bestie squad. There might be a darkness in him but he is also the lightness to his family when they need him to be. V and Oakley's story is next in Sins Of The Hidden and that's going to be an intense one with the way this one ended…. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more

This one's a secret child second chance romance and it's a rollercoaster romance for sure. Renny is Destiny's brother who was convicted of a triple murder he didn't do. He's spent the last 8 years in jail planning the day he can get his revenge while Destiny became a lawyer and fought to get him out. That day finally came and all Renny saw was his list of names of the people who set him up - the boys he called brothers and the woman he loved. Thea has been living a life of hell of her own since Renny went to jail. Every time one of Renny's friends finds her she moves and it's getting harder with her son Zachary. After a couple of months of peace, it's over when she reads in the paper that Renny was released. Renny was hell-bent on revenge until he found out about his son Zach and why Thea had to do what she did. They had Thea backed into a corner making her choose their child or him and she chose their child. She did the right thing and kept doing it to keep him safe and protected. They have alot of issues between them but they have a shared goal of keeping Zach safe. Will that be enough? I gave this a 4-star rating and a 3-spicy rating. Thea is a mama bear like none other and she shows it time and time again. I was glad Renny finally got his head on straight before it was too late. Yes, they needed a couple of do-overs to begin anew but in the end, they both got what they wanted. A family and each other.

Lucky's Streak is the 3rd book in the Devils Riot MC: Tennessee chapter series. This one is a second chance romance and for once I couldn't guess what was coming! And that just made it all the better for me. Chelsea is Storm's bestie who came back with her from Colorado and decided to stay and work at the real estate company that Storm gave the club. Since she has been there she has done nothing but play pranks on Lucky and the club girls she sees him with. She's always been a trouble maker especially when Storm is with her but no one realizes she has ulterior motives this time for targeting Lucky. The club is also still having trouble with the Crimson Blood Clan and when Chelsea stumbles onto something she ends up deciding to try and help the club out. That backfires on her and has Lucky and her secrets coming out. This is so hard to write because I don't want to give away any spoilers but they play a major part in this entire book. I gave this one a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I started reading this and couldn't put it down, laughing half the time. Chelsea is one hell of a girl and more power to her for standing up for herself. And Lucky man just how could he really be so stupid? Just like a typical man and figures oh the woman will take care of it. Shame on him. But I still love him anyway and he redeems himself in the end.

Diesel's Perseverance is a slow burn pen pal friends-to-lovers story. I thought this series was finished a couple of years ago so I was really excitedDiesel's Perseverance is a slow burn pen pal friends-to-lovers story. I thought this series was finished a couple of years ago so I was really excited when I learned this was coming out. Chiah Wilder just made us wait a while before giving us the 16th book of her Insurgents MC series. I've read all of her other books and I couldn't pass this one up. This book is surrounded around Freddy who is Diesel's little brother. Freddy saw dreams of being rich and didn't go about it the right way and left his girlfriend Myla with the mess. Myla already decided to leave Freddy before he disappeared but when she was threatened she knew she had to find Diesel. She and Diesel got to know each other when he was in jail and their connection grew from the letters they would exchange back and forth. That connection was reinforced the 1st time they met in person. Diesel is this big alpha man whore who's dark and dangerous but shows Myla he can also be sweet, nice, and caring. Myla can't help but fall for him and be conflicted because he's Freddy's brother and she needs to start her life all over again. When all the secrets and the truth start coming out as they try to find Freddy before it's too late Diesel learns someone in his club is tied into it also and Myla might be the one person to know who. I gave it a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I enjoyed the friendship that turned into love between Diesel and Myla. For what they went through they needed each other's shoulders and compassion to pull through all the guilt they both felt. We only got to see the other ol' ladies once which was not enough because they're so awesome. Myla really needed the ladies to pull her out of her shell. Throughout most of the book, Myla spends the whole time in Diesel's room and only communicates with him. Even when hurt no other member would talk to her and ask her if she was ok or what happened. I didn't understand that about the book. For the men it was respectful not to talk to her cause she was with Diesel or his 'guest' but to me, it was disrespectful to her. Rag's book is up next I saw and I can't wait to dive into that one. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*...more

Since mOf Snakes And Men is a standalone by Jessica Gadziala in her Navesink Bank world. I'm so glad we finally got a book on Hope and with A, bonus! Since meeting them in previous books they have intrigued me and I was not disappointed at all that they ended up together. Hope is a Henchmen MC princess being Renny's daughter and she's also a P.I. trying to prove herself in a man's world (aka her to co-workers) that she was just as good if not better than them. She gets that chance when A comes into her office looking to hire them because he fears there is something going on in his organization that he doesn't know about. He only wants Hope, for many reasons but to me, the most important one is she's from his world growing up in the MC, so she knows what to look for. Hope starts out hating him for being forced to do this, especially living with him, posing as his new maid, and just as he's getting past her walls he's does the typical man thing trying to protect her and says bye, but it's definitely not that easy in Navesink Bank. I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 3-spicy rating. I was happily surprised to learn A wasn't just some cold-hearted cartel leader but had a soft heart when needed and a love of books! I mean he unintentionally got Hope to go to the library to actually look at books… to read!! And Val just stole my heart that adorable boy. Val is definitely Hope's now that's for sure. The epilogue as always was awesome, loved it! I can't wait to see what Jessica gives us from Navesink Bank next, maybe Vi? ...more

Williams MorningStar MC: Reno chapter series and it did not disappoint. I could not wait for Spark to come out after seeing the little hints about his story in Priest. I knew it was going to be hilarious and I was right. It was but it was also emotional and sad, steamy and hot, violent and action-packed. Spark is the VP of the Reno chapter and considers himself the best car thief until his cars are stolen from him. He's always been attracted to crazy and trouble and his little car thief is definitely not lacking any of that. Mercy is a woman stuck with the MalaSangre gang trying to survive for her daughter Lucifer or Lucy as she calls her. When her husband got sent to jail and killed her life unraveled around her. There was a price on her daughter's head that she never knew about. Spark immediately wants to claim her and Lucy for himself. Vowing to do whatever he had to to get Lucy back to her mom and keep them safe. Along the way, they learned Mercy's trouble is tied to an enemy of the club and Mercy's life was a lie she had no idea about. Just a pawn in someone else's game, used for their gain. I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I loved the dynamic between Spark and Mercy. It was automatic as much as Mercy tried not to like him and it was hilarious the whole time because of how independent and stubborn Mercy is. I think they've each met their match in each other and are definitely a force to be reckoned with. We got to see a few of the other characters with issues in their life like Glitch and Shock who both have some problems on the rise. And with Sparrow who has a secret she's been keeping and whose book is next. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more

I really like this writing duo's style. The story pulled me in from the start and left me wanting more at the end. This is the story of Honey who is a best-selling author under the pen name Penny Anglene (right so cute!) and Raider's mom. His father Rager is the president of the Rival Sons MC. Honey fell in love with Rager when she was young and due to miscommunication, outside forces, and plain man stupidity, they didn't make it. Honey however didn't leave Rager alone, she found out she was pregnant with twins and she unfortunately lost one. Now fast forward a couple of decades and Rager's twin brother Reaper wants to try and make up for what he did and takes him to the MMM book signing event where Honey will be. This love story is one hell of a roller coaster ride and Billie who is Raider's girlfriend is one of the sweetest characters I've ever read. She really was the glue for all the characters in this book. I have a feeling without her things would have ended up worse instead of better for everyone. I gave this a 4-star rating and a 3-spicy rating because it gave me all the emotions. I loved hating Rager in the beginning and was pissed for what happened to end up loving him in the end. Honey had me laughing so hard with some of her antics (especially with other authors) and she's a boss mom to be admired for sure. And Billie man, she made this book heartwarming and funny and endearing. And we get more of her in the next book along with Raider in Life Stands Still For No One. I will definitely be checking out more of this author duo's work and I recommend you do too!...more

Viper Viper is the 2nd book in the MorningStar MC: Reno Chapter series by D. Williams. She definitely came up with some crazy characters in this one. Viper is an age-gap, single dad, forced proximity enemies-to-lovers read (mouthful I know!). I knew there was more to Viper than we were seeing but I definitely didn't think it was what it turned out to be that's for sure. Viper is the S.A.A. of the ABMC who kidnapped who he thought was Rebel at the end of Wolf. Turns out he wasn't told she had a twin so he kidnapped Davina. He very quickly learned what a mistake he made, he just wanted to trade her to her dad for the guns they had and be done with her. Davina although a teacher is crazy with a big set of balls on her. It didn't matter to her one bit that she was in enemy territory or on enemy land. And she's driving herself crazy because of how attracted to Viper she is when she knows she shouldn't be given the situation and who he is. When she learns the truth and meets Savannah she starts seeing Viper in a different light. By the time she goes back to her family, she is in love with Viper and now they both have a new battle to fight. It's left off on a cliffhanger that I don't think will have a happy ending for everyone. We shall see. I gave it a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. Davina and Viper were just the perfect mix of crazy for each other. And how the club handled her coming home, man. I want to write so much more but I'll give spoilers away and I want you to laugh as hard as I did through half of this book. Like they say you can take someone out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of someone. That's Davina and the MC 100%. Menace is up next and I see some more crazy drama in my reading future with this rockstar. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.* ...more

This one is a crossover with the Royal Bastards MC: Los Angeles chapterDeadly Rose is the 1st book in the Global Outlaw Syndicate by J. Lynn Lombard. This one is a crossover with the Royal Bastards MC: Los Angeles chapter, which is what drew my attention to it. This book is about a deadly cartel princess who finds her other half to rule her family syndicate alongside. This is a dark romance with triggers so be warned. After Rosa saw her mother horribly killed when she was a little girl her father took her under his wing and turned her into the deadly killer La Madrina. He was grooming her to take over for him one day. Her sole purpose was to find the ones that killed her mother and kill them.

When he found the syndicate he was determined to become a part of the organization and saw Rosa as his way in. It worked and he became her bodyguard and fell in love with her. Through twists, turns, and betrayals they both hunt their demons together finding out they might just be one and the same. I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating because it's not like any other cartel or organized crime book I've read before and I really enjoyed it. Reading how the Royal Bastards MC were tied into this series got me hooked and I'll definitely be reading the next book to come out.

This book blew me away and I never would have guesSins of Betrayal, the 1st book in The Unforgiven Souls MC series is the debut novel by Juniper Nyx. This book blew me away and I never would have guessed it was Juniper's debut. She made complex characters that dealt with real-life problems most people ignore in this day and age because it's become the unfortunate norm. This book is not for the faint of heart at all, but it's an eye-opener. It has a lot of triggers in it including addiction, suicide, rape, lies, death, violence, the list goes on. This book made me laugh and cry, get happy and get pissed, I had all the feels with it. It pulled me in from the 1st chapter and had me hooked wanting more at the end. This is a complex love story full of betrayal for our main character Nyla. She grew up sheltered and closed off from the world so when she got a chance to live in it her naivete did her in. The first time she goes against her dad her world falls apart around her because she chose Mitchell. Mitchell or Grim is the VP of the Unforgiven Souls MC who suffers from mental health and addiction issues who's only looking forward to the day he can atone for his sins and commit suicide. Nyla meets Mitchell at the Graveyard and they start seeing each other. She's falling in love with him but quickly realizes she should have believed him when he told her he was a monster. The events of one night change her entire life and make her realize everyone has betrayed her. No one is who she thought they were, not even her. Nyla is one strong woman to go through what she has and not completely break. She is someone I admire for her strength that's for sure. I gave this book a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. The way Juniper explained Mitchell's mental health and suicidal thoughts was eye-opening. A lot of people have trouble putting those thoughts and feelings into words for others to understand but she did it. It was completely relatable and she didn't shy away from the darkest parts of it. She had me rooting for Mitchell to overcome his illness even when I was pissed at him for the things he was doing. This book was an amazing start to a new series that is going to be filled with complex characters and their issues. I can't wait until book 2 in November. *I received this book for free.

It's a dark billionaire obsessiTainted Dreams is the 1st book in the Tainted series by Kimberly Quay. It's also the 1st book that I've read from her. It's a dark billionaire obsession romance that is steamy and hot but also full of lies and betrayals. I was skeptical when I started reading this because it's not my usual tropes but after reading the blurb I decided to give it a chance and I was glad I did within a couple of chapters I was loving it. Killian Asher is a self-made billionaire who has a dark past and is not afraid to do what is needed to be done to climb the ladder. One day by chance he sees a woman across the street and it stuck with both of them. Skye, the owner of a yoga studio and painter was so taken by the dark mysterious man she saw that she painted him, never finishing the eyes. Skye has not had the best of luck with men and a painful past of her own so she spends all her time working and painting. An obsession started for Killian that he had no clue would change his life the way it did. Even when Killian finds out everything Skye has gone through badly in her life was because of a selfish choice he made years ago that unintentionally affected her family life. One choice made sends them both on a rollercoaster ride that can only end in heartbreak. Does wanting to give her anything and everything she could ask for make up for taking what she already had in the 1st place? I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I loved the controlling dominating alpha that Killian was. And Skye was a beautiful soul even with everything she had been through. The two of them together were tragic and magic. Like Killian says "She was the light to my darkness, the calm to my storm. She brought purity to my tainted world. She was the answer to everything I never knew I needed." *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*...more
K.E. Osborn brought us an amazing action-filled MC series with her Houston Defiance MC. It grabs your attention from Book 1 and keeps it until the endK.E. Osborn brought us an amazing action-filled MC series with her Houston Defiance MC. It grabs your attention from Book 1 and keeps it until the end. I had to give it a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. This series had something for everyone to enjoy. We see characters we've met in the Chicago Defiance MC and ones to come in the NOLA Defiance MC. Each book kept you wanting more and feeling all the emotions of the characters. Tough decisions are made and war is upon them. They truly live up to their name but sometimes maybe they shouldn't. I loved this series from the start and hated when it ended. There's always club drama happening, family drama, and enemy after enemy showing up wanting a piece of them. Love connections are made and so are mistakes.
Book 1:Explosive: This book was explosive!! We meet Zero and his girl Cherry. Zero is the President of the MC and Cherry is an abused housewife his sister Prinie befriended in Chicago. Zero takes her into the club to try and heal and keep her safe while falling in love with her.
Book 2:Addictive: In this book, we get to know Prinie and Wraith the club's VP. They both know Zero would be against them being together and they do try to fight it. These two have a roller coaster relationship before finally taking the plunge. Of course, a little danger never hurt to help push 2 people close together.
Book 3: Fugitive: In this book, we get to know ex-cop turned outlaw biker Kevlar and the lengths he'll go to protect his family and especially his kids. We also meet Jovie the person to heal his heart. Both are on the run and cross paths in NOLA. Finally, Kevlar can heal from losing his wife years before.
Book 4:Impulsive: In this book, we get Neon the club's tech guy, and Oakley a motorcycle drag racer. I really liked this book. Oakley is in trouble with a rival gang and Neon pledges to protect her. We also get to meet Neon's sister who's Zero's ex. Can you say drama??
Book 5:Protective: This book is about Texas and Finlay. We've seen them throughout the books before but now it's their story. They get closer while Texas is protecting Finlay from someone that's after her.
Book 6: Deceptive: We get the newest patched member Phantom with this one. He had a thing for Prinie before she and Wraith got together officially and it hurt him because he was falling in love with her. When he meets Billie he instantly knows the one he's supposed to be with. And an old enemy is back to hurt the club at the same time.
Book 7:Secretive: This book is about Koda and Thayleah. Their story starts in The Elite Anthology and continues in this one. They both attended a college with a secret society. The society wanted Koda in it and Thayleah to be a victim but Koda wasn't letting that happen so he handled it and brought Thayleah home. Thayleah is a club princess from an allied club. While Koda is trying to adjust to prospecting theirs a target on Thayleah's back. Koda will do anything to make sure she doesn't have to suffer again in her life.
Book 8:Survive: This book is about survival. The club has started a war and now it's upon them. Mistakes were made. Members were lost. And times have to change. This story was a good way to end the series. We got to see the war start with book 1 and continue through until this one. Hopefully, the club can survive past this and be stronger as a family.

Shadow is the 2nd book in D.M. Earl's Devil's Handmaidens MC: Timber Ghost, Montana series and it was even better than the first. This book is dark, dShadow is the 2nd book in D.M. Earl's Devil's Handmaidens MC: Timber Ghost, Montana series and it was even better than the first. This book is dark, darker than some I've read. Shadow's story is heartwrenching but explains why she is exactly like she is. That girl is the epitome of what a survivor is and how it affects your entire life. I'm definitely taking Shadow from Tink to be my new bestie! We learned in the 1st book that Shadow is ruthless and bloodthirsty. She has no problem killing who she needs to or hurting the ones she's told to. She scares everyone that doesn't know her because she is covered with tattoos and has a skull on her face. Since Tink saved her life she has been helping her rescue trafficking victims like she was. I never thought Shadow would let her walls down but she has for Panther. He is a Navajo veteran who runs a horse ranch on the outside. Behind the scenes, his team and him help take down trafficking circuits. He felt connected to Shadow since the first time he saw her in the tattoo parlor. And Shadow has been keeping her relationship with him a secret for years until she can't anymore because her 2 worlds collide to try and take out a circuit they've been after for years. Shadow is in their sights and no one will let her go down. This book had a lot of twists and turns. Especially when we learn about Shadow's history and who she actually is. I gave this a 5-star rating and a 3-spicy rating because of how it got to me. This is not a book I would forget anytime soon. To learn what a person has gone through to finally get somewhere good and accepting pulled at my heartstrings. This book wasn't supposed to be spicy or funny. It was a dark story about a survivor's journey and it was beautiful and courageous. D.M. Earl has a winner on her hands with this one I'm not sure she'd be able to top but we'll have to see. Taz's book is next and I can't wait to read it. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*...more

This book drew me in from the start and kept me captivated until the end. This is the second book I've read from V.T. Do and she is quickly becoming a go-to author of mine. Micah "Psycho" Stone has a dangerous fearful reputation around town for good reason. He was barely holding onto his humanity and dealing with his brother not needing him like he did when they were little. It really felt like he was barely holding on until he saw Lainey for the first time and she became his new obsession. Lainey didn't have a happy childhood at all. She's 20 years old and still, a senior in high school who's used by her dad for his underground fight ring. I felt for this girl and was so glad she was strong enough not to just give up when it felt like everything was against her. After years of watching her, Psycho decided to make his move to get her when the trouble started brewing for the club, and her dad was somehow involved. He vows to kill the world for her to keep her safe. The thing I found interesting about Lainey is that growing up around a fighting ring she wasn't immune to violence, she hated it. I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 5-spicy rating. The spicy scenes were hot and steamy. Kinky just like I like them. The only disappointment I had was that the first half of the book felt like it was drawn out too much for me and repetitive. I definitely recommend this book to those who like dark erotica and don't mind triggers, this book is full of them. I can't wait to see what V.T. Do brings us next in The Kings Men MC series. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*...more
Rigger's Mistake is the 1st book in the Sons Of Erebus MC: Reno series by Misty Walker and if the rest of the series is like this one it's going to beRigger's Mistake is the 1st book in the Sons Of Erebus MC: Reno series by Misty Walker and if the rest of the series is like this one it's going to be awesome. This book is a dark stepbrother romance and it is full of triggers just like I look for. I really enjoy Misty's style of writing. She makes her characters so realistic like I could know them just like the main conflict in the book. It makes the story better that way for me. I like when the story I'm reading is something that could actually be happening somewhere in the world and Misty does that. This book is about Rigger the VP of the Sons of Erebus MC and his step-sister Navy. When Rigger was 18 he was kicked out of his house by his abusive dad but thought he had a solid deal in place to protect Navy without him there. Fast forward 15 years and Navy is tired of the abuse from her step-father and wants to get her and her mom out. She finds out about a brothel opening up and gets a job there. That is until Rigger sees her since it turns out to be his brothel. This book was tense a lot of the time especially when hearing about the abuse she's gone through at the hands of Ray and doesn't want to tell Rigger. She doesn't want to see the pity in his eyes but of course, he finds out. When he does his rage is instant. He thought his deal with Ray was in place to protect Navy but she only thought he abandoned her. Through a lot of the book when Rigger is finding out the different things that Navy is hiding he thinks he gets the picture and then reminds himself of the deal he had in place to keep her safe. Rigger knows Ray better than anymore and he disappeared 15 years before without ever checking in to make sure Ray was keeping up his end. He should have known better. I wanted to shake him so many times like open your eyes. Navy, that girl had been through more than anyone her age should have. Especially with how young the abuse started for her. And her mom is nothing more than trash at this point. Rigger should have handled her like he handled everything else. I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating because the spicy good parts didn't start until near the end of the book. I wanted to see more of Navy becoming a confident woman and taking her sexuality back like she needed. Other than that I don't have a bad thing to say about this book. It had everything that I look for in a dark MC romance. I can't wait to see which brother is up next. I'm hoping it's Lucky! *I received this book for free.

Bowie is the first book in the Speed Demons MC by Jules Ford and the first book I've had the pleasure of reading from Jules and she does not disappoinBowie is the first book in the Speed Demons MC by Jules Ford and the first book I've had the pleasure of reading from Jules and she does not disappoint. This story drew me in from the start and I was hooked. This book isn't as dark or descriptive as I usually read, which was a bit refreshing for me. Layla has had a crush on Bowie since the first day of High School watching him be the biker player going through girls like candy and always hoping she would be one of them. Fast forward some years to when they are older and she gets her chance. Unfortunately, when Bowie felt the instant connection to her he got scared because he's not over a past relationship so he acts like an ass and breaks her heart. Thankfully he realizes his mistake and does everything he can to make it up to her and get another chance. That's when he gets Layla's daughter's advice to help him. She tells him" Mama's working at Miss Anna's tomorrow. You should send them [flowers] there and then all the other ladies will say ooh and aah and she has to kiss you." Little Miss Sunshine is the star of this book. Her cute sassiness cannot be beaten she was just so adorable. While Bowie is trying to start a life with Layla the club is also dealing with a string of date rapes with women at the local bars being roofied and the club is determined to find out who's doing it especially once it starts to hit too close to home involving the ladies of the club. I gave this book a 5-star rating and a 3-spicy rating. This story shows that if two people want to be together even with all the odds stacked against them and other people trying to pull them apart as long as they love each other they can make it through anything and Bowie and Layla have. The only thing I would have changed in this book was how many times Bowie grabbed the back of his neck, it made me feel he wasn't as confident as he should have been. I can't wait to read the rest of the series especially Cash and Cara which is next....more
Winter Traver's latest book My Biker from her Mayhem Makers: Iron Fiends MC series was an excellent read. Just like other Mayhem Makers series books, Winter Traver's latest book My Biker from her Mayhem Makers: Iron Fiends MC series was an excellent read. Just like other Mayhem Makers series books, this one takes place at the MMM book signing event in Texas. I was laughing so hard through some of this book it was so hilarious with the writers at the event including Winter Travers herself. This book is about Sloane who is a die-hard reader who drags her bestie Dove to the MMM signing event where she hopes to meet all her favorite authors and pick up more books than I've ever heard of at one time. I'm talking multiple trips to her hotel room because she got dozens if not over a hundred. This girl remind me so much of me I just loved her. Her entire life is working and reading. She meets Aero a member of the Iron Fiends MC just like a heroine in her book would. He saved her from falling on her ass. Classic move and she thought she was dreaming. She fascinated Aero from the start. He'd never met someone like her before and was instantly attracted to her. They spend the weekend together and he was determined to show her she wasn't living a dream. That what they had was real and not one of her books. I was really able to relate to her when she told him "The real world is a mess, Aero. I do better with my nose in a book where drama happens, but it's all solved within a few pages. Books are safe." By the end of the weekend he was determined to keep things going and they did but unknown to him big changes were coming to his club thanks to his President and possibly some changes for Sloane as well when she gets an email from one of her favorite authors. I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 3-spicy rating. I related to this book in a way I haven't in a long time. Sloane is just me at heart and her bestie Dove reminds me of mine. I'm glad that Sloane got the chance to live her book fantasy in real life like so many of us wish we could. And the turn at the end is the last thing I ever thought I would read in an MC series. I'm very interested to see how it plays out in the next book up My Savior. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*...more
