ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 27, 2023

LA FAMILIA AGUIRRE DARK MAFIA ROMANCE

The cartels forced me to succumb to this life.
La Sombra wanted to destroy me.
He took everything from me, including my Sol.
But he underestimated me,
Because El Rey was not as weak as everyone thought.
I will do anything to get her back,
Destroy anyone who got in my way,
Slowly becoming the beast, my love hated so much.

REVIEW  EL REY is the second instalment in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult LA FAMILIA AGUIRRE dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is the continuing story of forty-two year old, new head of the Mexican American Mafia Gabriel ‘El Rey’ Falcon Aguirre, twenty-one year old Sol Dominguez, and Sol’s husband Jeronimo Dominguez. EL REY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up shortly after the events and cliff hanger of book one DESPERATION. Some of the events of El REY cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events in book one DESPERATION.

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

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

SOME BACKGROUND: Sol Dominguez was sold to Jeronimo Hunter as payment for a debt. Gabriel ‘El Rey’ Aguirre knew he needed to rescue Sol Dominguez but an assassin’s bullet put Gabriel in the grave leaving Sol to suffer at the hands of the man she was forced to marry.

Told from four first -person perspectives (El Rey, Sol, Jeronimo, Hunter) EL REY follows in the wake of the abduction of our story line heroine. After the assassination attempt against Gabriel Aguirre, Sol found herself a slave to Jeronimo Dominguez. Months of abuse and torture forced Sol to give in and give up until the day she was abducted by the man she once loved. Calling himself El Rey, Gabriel would imprison our story line heroine, refusing to accept that she was as much of a victim, if not more until a closer look by his cousin Paola would reveal there was more to Sol’s story than he could have ever imagined. What ensues is the rebuilding but tempestuous relationship between El Rey and Sol, and the fall-out when Sol offers to sacrifice her freedom for the man that she loves.

EL REY is a quick read; a story of betrayal and vengeance, abuse and power, acceptance and sacrifice. The dark premise is intense, gritty, dramatic and heart breaking-pay careful attention to the trigger warnings; the romance is virtually non-existent; the characters are broken, damaged, terrorized and abused. EL REY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned

My name is Crimson Syn, not really, but what fun is it to use my real name. Instead I’ll use my inner goddess’ name, it’s much more fun that way. I grew up in New York City where I had a wonderful education, loving parents and awesome friends. What more could a girl ask for?

I started writing at the age of sixteen. The first romance I read was Stephanie Laurens’ Devil’s Bride. Since then I have been influenced by dozens of flourishing romance authors and even more dashing and daring rogues. I must say it, but Fifty Shades was not my first erotic romance, nor did it influence me to start writing them. If you’ve never read Mary Balogh, Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas, Bertrice Small or A.N. Roquelaure’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, then you’re missing out. Those were my sweet introductions to erotic romance, and boy were they hot.

So here I am, after reading so many wonderful stories, I have too many sinful tales of my own not to share. I like my alphas rough and possessive, and I have no shame in saying it or writing it. I had delightfully wicked teachers growing up, their books took me to new worlds and brought me new loves. So, I want to do the same for you. I want to indulge my readers in those steamy reads that will send them into the arms of dangerous alphas and deliciously sexy rogues, without leaving the confines of their nice warm bed. If I am able to entice your inner goddesses, then I have done my job and I am satisfied.

REVIEW: THE WINTER BIKER is the sixth instalment in Crimson Syn’s adult RBMC: National Chapter Prequel) erotic, MC romance series. This is founding RBMC President Paul ‘Bulldog’ Jameson, and Detective Aiyana Locklear’s story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including a theme of daddy-kink.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Paul and Aiyana) THE WINTER BIKER follows several timelines including the beginning of the breakdown of the friendship between Bulldog and his former friend Brewer.As the founding president of the RBMC Paul ‘Bulldog’ Jameson has found himself on law enforcements radar in the wake of a prior conviction for murder, and the discovery of a number of young girls found battered and dead. With Bulldog and the RBMC the prime suspects, Detective Aiyana Locklear takes aim at our story line hero, quickly falling into bed with a possible killer. What ensues is the building relationship between Aiyana and Bulldog, and the potential fall-out as the past takes aim, threatening the lives of our story line couple.

 Aiyana Locklear’s has targeted our story line hero, believing the RBMC responsible for a series of abductions and murders of underage girls but Bulldog Jameson begins to suspect something more sinister at work, including the involvement of the Russian mob, and a onetime friend from the past.

We are introduced to several of the original founding members of the RBMC including the leader of the Bloody Scorpions Louis ‘Brewer’ D’Elena.

The age-gap relationship between Bulldog and Aiyana is one of immediate attraction but Bulldog is a suspect, and Aiyana knows to get involved could be the end of her career. Unable to stay apart, Aiyana finds herself falling for Bulldog, a man who sees betrayal when the truth is revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense with a daddy-kink theme, throughout.

THE WINTER BIKER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and love. the premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is provocative; the characters are charismatic, struggling but determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 28, 2022.

WELCOME TO THE FRENCH CIRCUS

Come one, come all
To the enchantment that is Cirque Diabolique
Where its darkness unfolds and invites you in.
Its stories will tempt you.
Its characters will entice you.
And when you least expect it, you’ll get lost in its black canvas.
Don’t wander too far, or you may not find your way back.
Then again, who wouldn’t love to stay at the circus?

••••••

REVIEW: LA PETITE MORTE is the first instalment and novella in Crimson Syn’s adult, erotic, ?CIRQUE DIABOLIQUE dark, paranormal, romance series . This is necromancer Imogen Bastien’s story line.

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

NOTE: For back story, I recommend reading BELLE MACABRE, instalment 4.5 in the author’s Royal B*stards MC series where Cirque Diabolique, The Ringmaster Serge Bastien, and his right hand man Lazarus are first introduced.

Told from three first person perspectives (Imogen, Lazarus, Dean) LA PETITE MORTE is a reverse harem story line focusing on necromancer Imogen Bastien, and her life within the Cirque Diabolique. Cirque Diabolique is a theatre of dark magic and erotica, and Imogen’s act involves the men and lovers she has resurrected to do her bidding. Most of the players and members of Cirque Diabolique are trapped by the magic of a powerful witch, and their nightly performances become the nightmares of the people who have paid to watch but all is not well within the close-knit family when one of their own runs afoul of Imogen’s control, setting into motion his own theatre of death and destruction.

LA PETITE MORTE is a quick read; a fast paced, dark, erotic, story of power and control, magic and mayhem, betrayal and obsession, destruction and death. The premise is dark and haunting; the romance is unconventional; the characters are desperate and resigned

It is a twisted retelling of Belle and her Beast, please heed the warnings in the Dear Readers section.

••••••

REVIEW: BELLE MACABRE is instalment 4.5 in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult RBMC / CIRQUE DIABOLIQUE dark, erotic, supernatural MC series- part of the multi-authored ROYAL B*STARDS MC series. This is Belle and Ethan ‘Macabre’ Hudson’s story line. BELLE MACABRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

NOTE: The events of BELLE MACABRE take place approximately ten to thirteen years prior to Coerced Into Submission

Told from four first person perspectives (Macabre, Belle, Serge, Lazarus) BELLE MACABRE focuses on Belle and Macabre’s fight for freedom. Thirteen years earlier, a then sixteen year old Belle witnessed the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her evil step-father. With no one to help, Belle signed a ‘contract’ with the erotic, supernaturally charged Cirque Diabolique, a contract that signed away our heroine’s life and her soul. Three years would pass before another ‘run away’ would leave his presence on the Cirque Diabolique, a presence that that will force the demons to take control. Enter Ethan ‘Macabre’ Hudson, the man with whom Belle would fall in love. Macabre has a target on his back-a man on the run; on the road to places unknown until he is ‘directed’ to a circus of debauchery, where he will find his heart, and save the soul of the woman he loves. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Belle and Macabre, and the fall-out as Belle’s escape to freedom incites the demons controlling the crowds.

The relationship between Belle and Macabre is one of immediate attraction but Belle has forfeited her life and her soul to an unknown entity, a demon who thrives on the lecherous sins of others. Macabre must remain in hiding, one step ahead of the MC that betrayed his family, but to remain with the Cirque means to sell his soul to the demon in charge. Desperate to free the woman with whom he has fallen in love, Macabre calls in a favor, a favor that is going to cost them dearly. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

We are introduced to the ‘ringmaster’ Serge Bastien, and dark angel Lazarus, as well as ‘waitress’ Ginger, and several MC members that come in and out of the story line premise.

BELLE MACABRE is a story of eroticism, betrayal , power and control. The premise is haunting and unconventional in the world of the MC; the characters are broken and desperate-controlled by an unknown power; the romance is edgy and dark.

Legend has it that Hellhounds are the gatekeepers of hell.
​​​​​​​They are sent to stalk those who owe their souls to the Devil.
In a moment of despair, Beau Kavanaugh is given an ultimatum.
A deal that will cost him more than just his soul.
Being dragged into the depths of hell, he is bound to pay off a century’s old debt.
There are one million souls to collect,
And there’s only one left.
With his contract fulfilled,
Beau will finally be able to get back to a life he never lived, or so that’s what was promised.
And no one ever said the devil keeps his promises.

Elora Wolfsbane lives a life of solitude.
She’s fought the darkness for as long as she can remember.
A witch’s daughter, wiccan blood runs through her veins.
The only source of protection against her father’s ill decisions.
A promise was made to the devil a long time ago,
An exchange of one soul for the next.
Now she finds herself slaying demons, fighting for her right to live.
But the only way to fight the devil,
Is to stay pure of mind, body, and soul.
A task seemingly impossible, when Beau Kavanaugh is near.

Beau has one job,
To hunt down Elora’s soul and drag it back down to the Dark Prince,
where she’ll reign by his side.
But what happens when a contract is broken
And a Hellhound decides to pay the price for the living?
Will he be forgiven, or will he drag Elora down with him to forever burn in the depths of hell?

•••••••

REVIEW:BANE & BOUND by Crimson Syn is an adult paranormal/fantasy romance story line found in the multi-authored TWISTED LEGENDS collection focusing on gods and demons, the fallen and their prey. This is H*llhound/vessel Beau Kavanaugh, and book store owner/demon hunter Elora Wolfsbane’s story line. BANE & BOUND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Beau and Elora) following several times lines, BANE & BOUND focuses on the hunt for a soul. Beau Kavanaugh lost his life early in the twentieth century but given a choice between eternal damnation or a vessel for H*ll Beau chose to work for the Devil himself. Opting to be bound with a H*llhound, Beau became a soul collector, tasked with capturing one million souls, returning them to Lucifer for all eternity but when his final task was revealed, Beau would come face to face with his H*llhound’s fated mate, a woman whose soul is Beau’s final task. Having to outwit and outrun Ashdemai, the demon of lust, and perform a task for Kimaris, the demon of hidden treasures, our couple quickly discover the soul Beau is looking for has been bound to someone else. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Beau and Elora, and the fall-out as Beau makes a deal for a life and Elora’s soul.

The relationship between Beau and Elora begins when Beau is tasked with one final collection, retrieving Elora’s soul for Lucifer but Elora’s soul have been bound to someone else, and Beau and his H*llhound have fallen for our story line heroine. Elora is something not quite human, and the power that surrounds our heroine is a power bequeathed from someone else. As the attraction and need between Beau and Elora continues to grow, there may be no happily ever after for a couple cursed to live their life in H*ll.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lucifer; the fallen angel turned demon Kimaris; Ashdemai, the demon of Lust, as well as Elora’s best friend and witch Karma.

BANE & BOUND is a fast paced story of sins and sacrifice, penance and love. The premise is dark and heart breaking; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are powerful, dangerous, determined and cursed.

REVIEW:DESPERATION is the first instalment in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult DARK MAFIA ROMANCE series. This is forty-two year old, new head of the Mexican American Mafia Gabriel ‘El Rey’ Falcon Aguirre, and twenty-one year old Sol Dominguez’ story line.

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

Told from several first person perspectives (Gabriel, Sol, Ivan, Jeronimo) DESPERATION follows in the aftermath of the assassination of Gabriel Aguirre’s father Ernest Aguirre, the head of LaFamilia Aguirre. As the new leader, Gabriel is expected to continue the ruthless reign of his father but Gabriel has spent most of his life running his legitimate business, and wants nothing to do as his father’s heir until Gabriel comes face to face with another wounded bird, in the guise of twenty-one year old Sol Dominguez, a young woman sold by her family into sexual slavery for a debt owed, then forced to marry a man just as evil as Gabriel’s father but all is not well in La Familia Aguirre, as someone else is pulling the strings behind the scenes, throwing Gabriel into a war with the Mexican and Columbian Cartel. What ensues is the tempestuous, age-gap relationship between Sol and Gabriel, and the fall-out as the dead refuse to die, and Gabriel discovers that that he and Sol have been used as pawns for bigger and more dangerous control.

The relationship between Sol and Gabriel is one of the forbidden. Sol is married to an abusive man but Gabriel wants someone he cannot have. A surprise awaits Gabriel with the arrival of our story line heroine, an arrival predicated up the death and assassination of someone else. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, powerful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Gabriel’s uncle Ivan Aguirre; Sol’s husband Jeronimo Dominguez, as well as several capos, security, and Gabriel’s housekeeper Lupita. The requisite evil has many faces.

DESPERATION is a fast paced, novella length story of power and control, desperation and obsession, murder and vengeance, and dysfunctional family dynamics. The premise is dark, gritty and raw; the romance is provocative; the characters are colorful, dangerous and powerful. DESPERATION ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 17, 2022

Welcome to the Royal Bastards MC. Where Loyalty is King and Code is the only way to survive.

RIDDICK
No one here knows my story.
Nor do they need to know.
My life is a series of malicious events.
Some were carried out by me.
Some were executed by others.
Let’s just say, the world isn’t pretty out there.
Except for her.
Abigail Beaugard.
The Mayor’s daughter and my fatal downfall.
Innocent and sweet, she’s about to see the world through my eyes.
I only hope she’s not wrecked from the malice.

ABIGAIL
Riddick was everything my father hated,
All wrapped up in tattoos, tight leather, and a sordid past.
I wasn’t supposed to see him again,
But circumstances brought him back to me.
Turns out he’s the only one I can turn to.
The only one who will keep me safe.
My father has made the wrong connections,
And now I’m in danger.
But I’m not sure who is more dangerous.
The men who are after my family,
Or the biker who has completely wrecked me.
No matter what malice tries to intervene
He has no idea what I’ll do to stay by his side.

REVIEW: WRECKED FROM MALICE by Crimson Syn is a contemporary, adult, dark, erotic, MC romance series set in the multi-authored/ multi-chapter Royal Bastards MC series fourth run. This is thirty-six year old, Thomas ‘Riddick’ Jensen, and nineteen year old, Abigail Beaumont’s story line. WRECKED FROM MALICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as several events cross over from previous story lines or series, or are as of a direct results from earlier developments.

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

Told from several first person perspectives including Riddick, Abigail, Jameson & Malice, following two times lines WRECKED FROM MALICE focuses on Riddick’s latest assignment –to guard and protect New Orlean’s Mayor Beaumont’s daughter Abigail, a young woman Riddick ‘met’ six months earlier but Abigail refuses to become a prisoner in her own home even in the face of threats against her own father. Meanwhile, Riddick has spent ten years searching for the man that killed his sister, a man who is determined to finish what he started. What ensues is the sexual relationship between Riddick and Abigail, and the fall-out as Riddick’s past comes full circle, in an attempt to destroy our story line couple.

The relationship between Riddick and Abigail is one of the forbidden, Six months earlier, Abigail tried to exert her independence, spending a few glorious minutes with our story line hero. Riddick never forgot about Abigail but never knowing her last name, Riddick was unable to locate the woman that starred in his fantasies and dreams. Working for the Mayor of New Orleans, Riddick and the New Orleans chapter of the RBMC will discover the Mayor is not as clean as he leads everyone to believe. Riddick knows to get involved with Abigail Beaumont could mean the end of his affiliation with the RBMC but the past is about to ravage and consume what’s left of our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense with some scenes of discipline, bondage and ‘daddy’ kink.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Elrik Jameson (Inked in Vengeance 1), Taron “Knuckles” Brown (Scarred by Pain 2) ,Julian Scorn (Afflicted with Desire 3), Snare, Rooster; Abigail’s father Mayor Beaumont, and his head of security Lou Rosado. The requisite evil has many faces.

WRECKED FROM MALICE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, death and destruction, power and control, assault and shatter. The premise is dark, gritty and raw; the romance is erotic and steamy; the characters are charismatic but broken and devastated.

My name is Crimson Syn, not really, but what fun is it to use my real name. Instead I’ll use my inner goddess’ name, it’s much more fun that way. I grew up in New York City where I had a wonderful education, loving parents and awesome friends. What more could a girl ask for?

I started writing at the age of sixteen. The first romance I read was Stephanie Laurens’ Devil’s Bride. Since then I have been influenced by dozens of flourishing romance authors and even more dashing and daring rogues. I must say it, but Fifty Shades was not my first erotic romance, nor did it influence me to start writing them. If you’ve never read Mary Balogh, Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas, Bertrice Small or A.N. Roquelaure’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, then you’re missing out. Those were my sweet introductions to erotic romance, and boy were they hot.

So here I am, after reading so many wonderful stories, I have too many sinful tales of my own not to share. I like my alphas rough and possessive, and I have no shame in saying it or writing it. I had delightfully wicked teachers growing up, their books took me to new worlds and brought me new loves. So, I want to do the same for you. I want to indulge my readers in those steamy reads that will send them into the arms of dangerous alphas and deliciously sexy rogues, without leaving the confines of their nice warm bed. If I am able to entice your inner goddesses, then I have done my job and I am satisfied.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 28, 2022

BRIMSTONE

I’ve seen souls set on fire,
I’ve tried to save them all,
But there are just some souls that don’t deserve to be rescued,
Including my own.
Soul is the only woman who’s tested my limits,
And now she’s testing my patience.
Death is too certain in my life,
To let love offer otherwise would make me a fool.

SOUL

Mason Hudson captured my heart after that first encounter.
Even he couldn’t put out the fire we ignited in each other.
And then, just like that, he left.
Now he’s back and wants to play bodyguard,
But as much as he wants to fight it,
There’s no guarding us against our love.
He has only one chance, and one way back,
And it will take a true hero to set my soul on fire.

REVIEW: SOUL FIRE is a prequel novella in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult RBMC: New Orleans MC romance series. This is firefighter and MC member Lieutenant Mason ‘Brimstone’ Hudson, and Inn owner Soul Montgomery’s story line. SOUL FIRE 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 THE ENFORCER’S HOLIDAY PACKAGE for background and history as some of the events of the current timeline are as of a direct result of the events in the aforementioned story.

Told from three first person perspectives (Soul, Brim, Siege), set approximately thirty years earlier focusing on the OG, SOUL FIRE follows in the wake of a deliberate fire that set ablaze Soul Montgomery’s Mountain Inn in Port Townsend. Rescued by Lieutenant Mason ‘Brimstone’ Hudson, Soul would quickly become a part of Brimstone’s life but another deadly fire would see the Lieutenant reconsidering his career as a firefighter, as well as his membership in the RBMC. Struggling between head and heart, believing himself unworthy in the face of loss, Brimstone would play a game of push and pull with our storyline heroine, a game that would place Soul’s life in the direct line of fire when the Russian Mafia demands payment in return for someone they lost. What ensues is the back and forth, building but often heart breaking relationship between Soul and Brim, and the potential fall-out as Russian Mafia take aim at the women of the RBMC.

The relationship between Brim and Soul is one of instant attraction but a deadly fire finds Brim struggling with the loss of life, and the ensuing guilt surrounding the death of someone else.Needing Soul yet continually pushing our heroine aside, Brim battles his attraction and desire for a woman he believes he doesn’t deserve. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Siege and Harmony (The Enforcer’s Holiday Package) , Saddle, and Paul ‘Bulldog’ Jameson, club secretary Silencer, and Detective Noel ‘Cipher’ Garcia. We are introduced to Detective Aiyana Locklear.

SOUL FIRE is a story of loss and love, forgiveness and acceptance, vengeance and retribution, family and friendships. The fast paced premise is engaging and captivating; the romance struggles in the face of grief and guilt; the characters are energetic, enthusiastic and dynamic.
