When the wildcat is unleashed, nobody is safe.

Manager of the Wooden Spirits Bar and Grill, Frankie Camano, a former cop, is struggling to heal from a tragic past. The women of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC have been Frankie’s saving grace in a world of pain and disappointment. Known as “Wildcat,” Frankie uses her strength and tenacity to overcome the demons that haunt her.

Leaving Malcom, a doctor and the love of her life, after they both faced horrific events, was the hardest thing she’s ever done. But when her past comes barreling back. Frankie knows that the Handmaidens and Malcom are the people she can trust. She refuses to let anyone hurt her–or her loved ones ever again. Will Frankie’s fear of the past force her back into hiding, or will she finally release the WILDCAT on the enemies who threaten to destroy her?

••••

REVIEW: WILDCAT is the seventh instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-GHOST MONTANA dark, , MC romance series. This is physician Malcolm Malty, and bar manager Frankie ‘Wildcat’ Camano’s story line. WILDCAT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout..

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Frankie and Malcolm WILDCAT follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Years earlier Frankie and Malcolm were violently attacked and left for dead, and in the aftermath, Malcolm pushed Frankie out of his life. Fast forward to present day, the past has returned to finish the job but a familiar face threatens all of Malcolm’s hard fight to regain some semblance of normalcy. As Malcolm and Frankie relive the past, the Devil’s Handmaidens MC find themselves searching for several missing women, and the hunt for the people in charge. What ensues so the rebuilding relationship between Malcolm and Frankie, and the fall-out as the Malcolm must face the truth about the how and why.

The world building is dark and gritty. The trauma and abuse endured by our story line couple is recounted in graphic detail. As the Devil’s Handmaidens MC must come to terms with their own past traumas, our couple must face down the men who tried to destroy their lives.

The relationship between Malcolm and Frankie is one of second chances but a relationship strained by the emotional and physical abuse by someone they knew. As Malcolm struggles to move on from the past, Frankie and her ‘sisters’ will take down those who hurt so many. There are no $ex scenes between our story couple.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful and determined secondary and supporting characters including several of Frankie’s sisters in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC-Glory , Tax, Vixen, Tink, Raven, their significant others, as well as the introduction of Frankie’s parents.

WILDCAT is a story of betrayal, racism, violence and hate. The premise is dramatic, dark, haunting, twisted and powerful; the characters are broken yet struggling to heal.

->Heed the trigger warnings-they are numerous, graphic, detailed and raw-WILDCAT is NOT a story for everyone.

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3LNkoBI

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 20, 2024

My corporate kingdom is vulnerable right now.
This is the perfect time for the enemy to strike.

My gunshot wound doesn’t matter.
The only thing that matters is my wife.
I’m haunted by the knowledge that she could be next.

Gwyn might have come to me through a twisted game of corporate revenge. It might have started as an arranged marriage, but it’s become real.

The only thing I can do to protect her is keep her near me.

Except the danger lurks closer than I ever imagined.

•••

REVIEW: MERGER is the third instalment in Nana Malone’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF THE BOARDROOM erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on billionaire businessman Atticus Price, and algorithm developer Gwen Becker. MERGER should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the cliff hanger and events of book two ACQUISITION.

NOTE: If you have not read ACQUISITION, there may be spoilers in my review.

SOME BACKGROUND: The Becks Corporation is struggling and in an effort to bump up the bottom line, James Becker offers up a deal to the highest bidder, a deal including marriage to one of his daughters. Atticus Price wants what the Becks Corporation has to offer .When Atticus discovers the deal comes with an arranged marriage, Atticus pushes to come out on top but the daughter offered is not the daughter he wants. Enter Gwen Becker, the woman with whom Atticus will fall in love

Told from dual first person perspectives (Atticus and Gwen) MERGER focuses on Gwen’s recovery after an attempt on her life. Atticus believes he failed his wife, and in this, begins to pulls away as he searches for the person (s) responsible including the possibility of someone he knows. As Atticus, Gwen and Micah begins a deep dive into several potential suspects, Atticus’ past finds a way to prove no one is safe is one is determined enough to get through.

The world building focuses on the hunt for a gunman; the search for the person responsible; embattled family morals and dysfunctional family dynamics, as well as Gwen and Atticus struggle to keep their marriage healthy and well.

The relationship between Atticus and Gwen is highly sexual and provocative but in the wake of the attempt on Gwen’s life, Atticus begins to pull away, fearing he has failed to protect the woman he loves. Gwen is determined to prove she is a survivor, and sets out to take back what was once hers to control. The $ex scenes are erotic and passionate.

Once again, we are reintroduced to Gwen’s sister Morgan, Atticus’ brother Micah, their father Lucian, as well as Atticus’ friend and driver Gavin, and Gwen’s best friend Lance who is struggling with his attraction to forbidden fruit. Mogan’s story line is next.

MERGER is a story of obsession, betrayal and madness, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is edgy, intriguing and impassioned; the romance is spicy, provocative and intense; the characters are determined, desperate,and animated.

You see, she’s my oldest teammate’s daughter, and I can’t touch that with a ten-foot hockey stick.

Until a single mistake puts her in my bed, turning everything upside down.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 19,2024

Sebastian

The broken girl that Mo brought to the clubhouse had me wanting to save her from herself and anyone else that dare hurt her from the moment I saw her. Now it’s my personal mission to find the bastard that did this to her and make him suffer worse than he can possibly imagine. I’m trying to piece this broken soul back together with my own two hands, but can we really withstand the trauma she’s been through or are we doomed before we even begin?

Bristol

Most girls at seventeen are thinking about college, parties, what boy they want to go to prom with. Me? I was thinking of a way to escape my new reality. I was kidnapped before I could make any of those normal seventeen year old girl decisions. Instead of normal, I was held in a concrete room and forced to become a toy for my own personal version of Satan for six long years. Then my new reality took a turn. I was rescued. SAVED. But at what cost?

••••••

REVIEW:Bristol by Nicole Sulli is a MC, darker romance, and a first time read for me. This book has trauma and SA so check the trigger warnings readers. That being said, this fast pace, spicy romance had me jonesings for the next page faster and faster. 🏍

Bristol is broken beyond repair, or so she thinks. After being held captive for years, forced to do horrible things, caged, and tortured, when she is finally freed, she doesn’t know what to feel. But she knows what she wants. I give this author major props for an awesome FMC, even with all the hell Bristol has been put through, she is strong and doesn’t let others make her feel weak.

Revenge.

Sebastian is both her knight in shining armor and assassin at the same time. He knows why she wants her revenge, what she is going to do, and is all on board to help her do it. Heck he even helps her get away with it. What gets me with the plot to the story is that there is such build up for Bristol to get her revenge, but when it finally happens, it’s a bit rushed. The ending happens so quickly, it feels very rushed, and even more so, it feels unfinished. There needed to be something else after that, an epilogue, another chapter, something to show that Bristol and Sebastian riding off into the sunset.

The book is pretty dark in parts, and the spicy bits are 🔥 to read. Overall I would read more by the author and did like the book.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 18, 2024

Life has a way of making you yield, but it won’t stop me from getting what I want most.
Striker
The first time I saw her, I knew she was pure. Sweet and shy, it works for her. She’s not the type I usually go for, but that didn’t stop me from wanting her.
She didn’t come around often, so it was easy for me to ignore her. Until I couldn’t anymore.
Danger stalks the night and threatens her in a way that draws us in. To protect her, I have to choose, but will I be able to live with it or do I walk?

•••••••

REVIEW: STRIKER’S YIELD is the twelfth and final instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S RIOT MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Jonas ‘Striker’ Alvarado, and Autumn’s story line. STRIKER’S YIELD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Striker and Autumn) STRIKER’S YIELD follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Approximately eight months earlier Autumn’s life imploded, leaving her alone and lost. Restarting her café business, friended by the Devil’s Riot MC, Autumn found herself fantasizing about our story line hero but Striker had a type, and Autumn knew she didn’t belong. Now, the past is stalking Autumn, and Striker is determined to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love but the past if a familiar face for everyone involved.

The world building reveals the past ,the losses, the connections and the love going forward. Autumn lost the person closest to her heart but a second chance meant the possibility of a happily ever after.

The relationship between Autumn and Striker is a friends to lovers romance in which Striker is determined to claim Autumn as his own but the past demands a second chance, a demand that strips Autumn of her choices and heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Devil’s Riot MC including Horse, Tracker, Thorn, Twister and Rage, and their significant others : Brass and Athena (Brass’ Surrender) Striker’s sister Lila; Autumn’s parents Adam and Vera; and Striker’s former army buddies Tony, Rolland and Jason.

STRIKER’S YIELD is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, loss, protection and determination, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic and twisted; the characters are animated and dynamic; the romance is spicy and flirty.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2024

Not only the net should be protected.

Felton

I’m a disappointment, a failure, a shit show. Every decision is wrong. None of my accomplishments are good enough. I don’t do anything right.

This is what I’ve been told my entire life.

For more than thirty years, no one knew. What the world sees is a lie. I do a good job of hiding it.

Until I don’t.

Ren

Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to realize you’re needed somewhere and in that moment, your entire life changes. Felton has so many broken pieces that he can barely breathe.

But that’s okay. I’m going to show this man what love is. If he doesn’t have the capacity to protect himself, I’ll do it for him. The abuse ends now.

••••

REVIEW: If I could reach into a book and hug/protect a character, then Felton would be it.

He may be a huge goalie, a mountain of a man , but he’s been belittled and terrorised all his life, and not by kids at school, no, far worse! By his own father!! His family, especially his mother didn’t really try to stop it! So Felton has no confidence at all, in fact when hearing his fathers voice, Felton goes into panic/shut down mode (his way of trying to protect himself!)

Then Felton’s world falls apart! His career is on the line. And Felton begins to spiral…..

Ren plays on the same team as Felton, they know each other, but not really friends. Ren has his own set of friends and a loving family. So when Ren begins to notice Felton, it’s firstly as a concerned team member. And the more Ren gets to know about Felton (the one behind the fake smile) the more Ren

It’s a sloooowburn, but watching as Ren slowly comes to realise that Felton is it for him, has me not minding the spice scenes being missing. In fact, if they’d gone at it from the get go, I think we would have lost a beautiful story.

Ren becomes Felton’s friend/confidant/mentor and cheerleader. He becomes the wall that Felton needs against his father. And Ren shows him that family can love each other unconditionally. Felton hands over the reigns to Ren, and lets him make ALL of his decisions. Suddenly a huge weight is lifted, and Felton can finally breathe.

I squealed as a crossover character is mentioned. Puzzled to myself as to who will be in the next book. And sighed, as I close yet another emotional book. I love this series.

I like how the author builds the story and the characters. This one has less crossovers, but it does have a few hockey moments. (Which the last few have been lacking. This one is possibly another “gay for you” as Ren has slept with women, and has never really looked at men “that way”, until Felton.

Felton and Ren are probably my second favourite couple in this series.

No need to read in order. You can dip in and out.

Another recommended read from me 👍🏻

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 16, 2024

In the fantastical realm of Asteria, where ancient bloodlines and magical allegiances govern the land, Leila, a blood mage with a complicated past, finds her fate intertwined with Ronan, the fierce warrior from the Crimson Clan. When an insidious plot by Prince Caelan of Eldwain threatens to destabilize all of Asteria, Leila must harness her formidable powers and confront secrets that could shatter the very foundations of her world.

Together, Leila and Ronan embark on a perilous journey through treacherous territories, from the Grasslands, Keldara, the Central Plains, to the deceptive courts of Eldwain, to safeguard their people and uphold ancient alliances. As battles rage and loyalties are tested, the pair must navigate a tapestry of intrigue and betrayal, where love may be their most powerful weapon or their ultimate undoing.

With the fate of Asteria hanging in the balance, Leila must decide if she can go against the man she once considered her best friend. In this epic tale of magic, love, and rebellion, only the strongest will survive to tell the tale of their victory—or their defeat.

•••••

REVIEW:Book three starts, where book two ended. And from then on, it’s a fast paced story of betrayal and action. Suitors descend upon Leila to pursue/force/persuade her to marry them! There is no love matches! It’s all to gain power over the Demon Fox. That character grants one wish. But to obtain that wish Leila has to 💀! All but Ronan are happy to sacrifice the princess in order to gain that wish! I did like the prologue in this book, it explains the story/legend of the Demon Fox.

The connection is still strong between Ronan and Leila (even though he did betray her!) I think her faith and trust actually helped him to become a better person.

Leila is growing into her power more and more. Which is why her blood is so sought after! But I also liked that each book Leila had so much to contend with, and with each book she just grows in confidence and experience.

You definitely need to read this trilogy in order, skipping a book won’t make much sense. The story grips you from the first page, and I must admit I did reread the first two books (a refresh and just because I loved the books.)

I also liked the fact we got different points of view. I didn’t warm to Ronan at first, but with each book he proves himself to be a worth companion to Leila. (But his father is definitely a piece of work!)

What a way to end this trilogy. I loved every minute of it. And will go back and read all three again at some point. The fight/battle scenes are intense. Might be a little triggering for a few people. The descriptions are on point, you can easily imagine yourself travelling through different landscapes, and meeting new allies and battling adversaries.

Highly recommended read 👍🏻

REVIEW:THE FATES WE TAME is the eighth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC dark erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty year old, MC medic Theo ‘Switch Reavis, and twenty-five year Mafia princess old Sophia Viscuso’s story line. THE FATES WE TAME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sophia and Switch) THE FATES WE TAME follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Sophia Viscuso is in recovery in the wake of a devastating car accident that left her scarred both inside and out. Meeting fellow patient and accident survivor Theo Reavis give Sophia pause as they both struggle with physical disabilities and ongoing amnesia in their accident fall-out. Theo aka Switch has lost ten years of his life, with no memory of what happened or why; and Sophia struggles with secrets and lies her family refuses to reveal but a conversation between Sophia’s brothers sends our heroine on the run wherein she and Switch jump into marriage to protect our story line heroine. What ensues is the building relationship between Switch and Sophia, and the potential fall-out as the power of the Cosa Nostra takes aim at the Iron Outlaws MC.

The world building follows several paths including the mutually and equal recovery of our story line couple. Sophia feels trapped in the rehab facility against her will, as Switch continues to struggle with ten missing years, and the physical disabilities that prevent him from moving on.As our couple begin to search for the truth, threats of a different nature reveal a dark side to living the life of a Mafia princess.

The relationship between Sophia and Theo begins in recovery. Neither one remembers their past, and in doing so, both hope to make memories going forward but danger will begin to descend upon our story line heroine, and Theo is desperate to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense-Theo believes he is a bit of a masochist in bed.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the previous instalments including several members of the Iron Outaws MC . We are introduced to Sophia’s brothers Alessio, Leo and Luca, as well as their father Vincenzo Viscuso. The requisite evil has many faces. Vex’s story line is next.

THE FATES WE TAME is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family values, desperation and obsession, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is intriguing, dark, dramatic and impassioned; the romance is insta-lust and passionate; the characters are headstrong and determined.

The Souls We Claim

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.
