MACE

The Pioneers are gone, but my club is fighting a new war—one from within. Our president is a disgrace to the patch, but removing a king from his throne is not an easy task. It will take all of our cunning to take the head off the snake.

The last thing I need is to be distracted by a woman when the stakes are so high, but the moment I see her, I’m consumed with the need to own her. Maylie is sunshine in a cloudy sky, and even though I know I am not good for her, I can’t walk away.

MAYLIE

From the moment my mother died, I’ve been raising my two younger siblings and trying to protect what remains of my shattered family. I never expected to be a guardian at eighteen, and I never expected at twenty-two to never have been kissed. All I want is to be a normal girl, in love with a guy, so when Mace barrels into my life I fall hard and fast. He’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of, but when he finds out my secrets, he’ll run and he’ll break my heart…

REVIEW:MACE is the first instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: BIRMINGHAM dark, erotic, MC romance series-a spin off from the author’s interconnected UNTAMED SONS MC. This is Road Captain Mason aka Mace, and twenty-two year old, bar waitress Maylie Fernsby’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maylie & Mace) focusing on two timelines, MACE follows the building relationship between Mace and Maylie. Maylie Fernsby has been raising her younger brother Toby and sister Ivy since the death of their mother years before but working as a bar waitress is barely paying the bills; her seventeen year old sister is spiralling out of control, she is behind on the rent and her landlord is pushing for something more; and the Untamed Sons MC is about to take over Temptation, the club where she works yet Maylie never expected to come face to face with her future in the guise of Untamed Sons MC Road Captain Mace, the man with whom Maylie will fall in love. From handsie customers, a lecherous landlord, and her sister’s questionable boyfriend, Maylie is targeted at every turn. With the help and protection of Mace and the members of the Untamed Sons MC, Maylie and her sister begin to rest easy until the past returns, taking aim at our story line heroine.

The world building follows several paths including the imploding hierarchy of the Untamed Sons MC; the take over at Temptation ; the fall-out of dysfunctional family values; and a young woman’s desire to find first love.

The relationship between Mace and Maylie is one of immediate attraction but Maylie has responsibilities back home, and is struggling to pay the bills. Desperate in the face of threats and the breakdown of her family, Maylie goes to Mace in an effort to seek protection for the people she loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to MC members Nicky, Nate aka Riot , Crank; Maylie’s siblings Ivy and Toby; and the return of Howler, Nox, and Ravage. The requisite evil has many faces.

MACE is a story of power and control; betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies;violence and murder; family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic and determined. MACE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
