ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 28, 2024

All I wanted was one taste, but one taste is all it took.

Razor

I finally found a home to call my own as a VP for the Reapers Rejects MC’s Mexican charter. It’s the first place I’ve spent an extended period of time at since I was in my early twenties.

But, I still get cabin fever. It’s why my Prez sends me out on runs to the States numerous times a year.

I usually make a pit stop at our Vegas charter, but this time I had business in LA. Where better to stay than one of the club’s allies—the Satan’s Raiders MC.

It was a surprise running into Oakleigh again, but it was even more surprising when I saw her dancing on a pole at a local strip club.

I should have gotten up and walked out, knowing damn well I shouldn’t have stayed. I debated it as she sashayed over to me and offered me a lap dance. I could have said no, but I didn’t, and that ‘yes’ started it all.

She was barely nineteen and the club would hang me if they knew.

Then again, the best fruit is always forbidden.

REVIEW: RAZOR is the nineteenth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult REAPER’S REJECTS erotic, MC romance series. This is nomad turned VP for the Reapers Rejects MC’s Mexican charter Ricardo Alejandro ‘Razor’ Ramirez, and Oakleigh Michelle Mahon’s story line. RAZOR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Oakleigh is the daughter of Hammer #18. RAZOR crosses over with some of the events and characters of the author’s SATAN’S RAIDERS MC series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read any of the previous instalments, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Razor and Oakleigh) RAZOR follows the visit of Razor Ramirez to the Satan’s Raiders MC, a visit that will culminate with Oakleigh Mahon’s acceptance of our story line hero. Oakleigh Mahon has been struggling in the months since an attack against the Satan’s Raiders MC left our heroine fighting for her life. In an effort to become independent without the help of the MC, and to hide a life she was hoping to forget, Oakleigh finds herself dancing for money, and masking the pain with illegal drugs. Enter Razor Ramirez, the man with whom Oakleigh will fall in love. Razor knows his time in Vegas is coming to a close, and in an effort to save the life of the woman that has capture his heart, Razor makes Oakleigh an offer she does not refuse. What ensues is the building relationship in Mexico between Razor and Oakleigh, and the potential fall-out as Oakleigh’s father refuses to accept Razor in his daughter’s life.

The world building focuses on recovery and acceptance, addiction and acceptance. Scared to tell her father about her move to Mexico or her downward spiral, Oakleigh takes off with Razor, and finds herself a place to call home.

The relationship between Oakleigh and Razor begins as friendship that will quickly turn into something more. Razor is desperate to protect Oakleigh from the demons that have taken hold, and Oakleigh wants something more than to be wounded victim of a vendetta attack. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate .

There is a large ensemble cast of coloful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters from both the Reaper’s Rejects MC and Satan’s Raiders MC including Oakleigh’s father Hammer, his wife Shiloh, and Oakleigh’s aunt Jada; Python, Reaper’s Rejects MC president Amara and her husband Dante, as well as the introduction of several new prospects. Python’s story line is next

RAZOR is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and anger, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is provocative; the characters are determined and charismatic.
