ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 16, 2022

Crew Madigan is a snowboarding legend. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous and every woman’s dream. Well, except mine. I’ll take a nerdy guy with a clumsy streak who wouldn’t know what to do with a pair of skis to save his life. Superstar athletes? No, thanks. World champions? Hard pass. Crew? Definitely not.

It’s been over a decade since Crew set foot on Madigan Mountain. Instead of sitting with his family during his brother’s wedding, he takes the chair beside mine. ESPN really doesn’t do that chiseled jaw justice. The cameras miss the flecks of gold in his eyes. When he invites me to his hotel room after the wedding, I break all of my own rules for just one night.

But here’s the problem with just one night. Crew is impossible to forget. And he’s not the only one who loves a thrill. The crash, the broken bones, are inevitable. Because together, we’re a little too wild.

•••••

REVIEW: A LITTLE TOO WILD by Devney Perry is the third and final instalment in the contemporary, adult MADIGAN MOUNTAIN erotic, multi-authored romance series. This is thirty year old, professional snowboarder Crew Madigan, and twenty-eight year old ski instructor Raven Darcy’s story line. A LITTLE TOO WILD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Crew and Raven) A LITTLE TOO WILD follows the building relationship between thirty year old, professional snowboarder Crew Madigan, and twenty-eight year old ski instructor Raven Darcy. Crew Madigan is a professional snowboarder who hasn’t been home, or seen his family in twelve years. Following the death of his beloved mother sixteen years earlier, Crew found himself floundering for direction, raised by his brothers, neglected by his father but the first opportunity to go pro, meant Crew ran from his family and never looked back. Returning for his brother Reed’s wedding made our hero realize everything yet nothing had changed but for the girl now woman he has lusted after for a very long time. Enter Raven Darcy, Crew’s best friend’s young sister, and the woman with whom Crew would fall in love. What ensues is the building but secret relationship between Crew and Raven, and the potential fall-out as Raven wants nothing more than the present.

Raven Darcy has been burned in the past, having come in second to every male in her life. With the return of Crew Madigan, if only for a short time, meant Raven had the opportunity for a no-strings attached weekend, a weekend that was about to turn into many more. Weston and Reed Madigan had plans to open and run one of the biggest ski resorts in Colorado, and were hoping for their younger brother to become part of the family, for now and in the future. Crew Madigan struggled in the years since his mother’s death, grieving alone without the benefit of his father. Battling between head and heart, Crew wanted nothing more than to claim Raven as his own but returning to Madigan Mountain came with the memories of the past, memories that no longer held happiness or fun.

The relationship between Crew and Raven is a best friend’s younger sister affair in which Raven refuses to commit to anything beyond a one-night stand but Crew finds himself in Colorado for an extended stay, a stay in which he and Raven will reconsider their future going forward. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Crew’s brothers and their significant others: Reed and Ava, Weston and Callie, as well as their father Mark and his new wife Melody; Raven’s brother River, their mother Robin Darcy, and Crew’s personal assistant Marianne.

A LITTLE TOO WILD is a story of family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is entertaining and heart warming; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 31, 2021

No promises. No expectations. No names. That’s what Emmett Stone agreed to with the woman who caught his eye two months ago. After years of drama following the end of the Tin Gypsy Motorcycle Club, a no-strings fling with a mystery woman is exactly what he needs. Except as they find themselves together more and more, it’s impossible for him to keep his feelings at bay. She’s clever and sassy. She’s gracious and kind. She loves riding on the back of his bike every Saturday afternoon and lazing in his bed every Sunday morning. She’s the perfect woman.

Except she’s Nova Talbot, the daughter of his archenemy—the man who murdered his father.

Her identity will cost her the man who’s captured her heart unless she can convince Emmett her feelings are true.

Before he learns the reason she proposed their fling in the first place.

••••••

REVIEW:TIN QUEEN is the sixth and final instalment in Devney Perry’s contemporary, adult TIN GYPSY erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the former members of the Tin Gypsy MC. This is Emmett Stone, and attorney Nova Talbot’s story line. TIN QUEEN 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.

Told from dual first person perspective (Nova and Emmett) TIN QUEEN follows Nova Talbot’s need for revenge. Having lost her younger brother TJ to a bullet, and her father not sitting in jail for three consecutive life sentences, Nova finds herself doing her father’s bidding, an in effort to exact revenge on the people she blames for the loss of the people she loved. On the hunt for the son of the man her father claims took out her brother, Nova heads into the former Tin Gypsy territory, to seduce and kill the man with whom she will fall in love. As the Tin Gypsy’s find themselves constantly on alert for more retaliation, Emmett begins to fall in love with a woman who is about to break his heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Emmett and Nova, and the fall-out when the truth is revealed.

Everything about Nova Talbot is a lie: from her name to her background, to her family and her life, Nova is determined to take down what’s left of the Tin Gypsy’s, an MC that is no longer active but most of the surviving and second generation members continue to work and live in Clifton Forge. Her first target is the son of the man she blames for destroying her family but as the truth unfolds, secrets and lies will do more damage than she could have ever imagined. Emmett Stone knows loss including the murder of his father but never expected to lose his heart to a woman who is about to destroy his life. Falling in love was easy but trusting Nova would be the biggest mistake of Emmett’s life.

The relationship between Emmett and Nova is one of immediate attraction although Nova is on a mission to take down our story line hero. Believing everything her father has ever told her, Nova takes aim at Emmett Stone, leaving destruction and heart break in her wake. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Most of the previous story line couples and characters play secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Emmett’s mother; Nova’s sister Shelby aka May, and their mother January Johnson, as well as the return of Nova’s father Tucker Talbot (Fallen Jester)

TIN QUEEN is a story of family and relationships, secrets and lies, betrayal, retribution and vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional, heart breaking and revealing; the romance is seductive and spicy; the characters are broken, determined and haunted. TIN QUEEN is the culmination of six stories, six relationships, and six happily ever afters.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 18, 2021

Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she’s pregnant with his child, he’s certain he’s died and gone to hell.

Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she’d stayed far, far away from Leo.

Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she’s forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn’t understand?

Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart.

If only he’d stop playing the fool.

•••••••••

REVIEW:FALLEN JESTER is the fifth instalment in Devney Perry’s contemporary, adult TIN GYPSY erotic, MC romance series focusing on the former members of the Tin Gypsy MC. This is thirty-two year old, automotive restorer Leo Winter, and twenty-four year old, graduate student Cassandra Cline’s story line. FALLEN JESTER 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.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cass and Leo) FALLEN JESTER follows in the wake of a one night stand between twenty-four year old Cassandra Cline and Leo Winter. Six weeks would pass wherein our heroine, along with Scarlett Marks (Noble Prince #4), had been abducted and held prisoner by Tucker Talbot and the Arrowhead Warriors MC, and in the ensuing time would discover she was pregnant with Leo’s child. Unable to accept the responsibilities of fatherhood, Leo pushes our heroine out of his life, due in part to immaturity and fear, a fear of failure and losing his freedom for a one-night stand. What ensues is the acrimonious but building relationship between Cass and Leo, and the potential fall-out as the enemy continues to focus on vengeance targeting our couple in their deadly games.

Thirty-two year old Leo Winter has yet to grow up; a party boy who is always looking for a good time, Leo barely remembers the woman that would call to his heart but it is Cass’s heart that will sustain the most damage as Leo continues to push her out of his life. Cassandra Cline is a strong-willed, determined young woman, and is willing to go it alone, and raise her child with or without Leo’s help. Leo struggles in the weeks and months as the birth date approaches but the reality of the situation will hit too close to home as Leo finds himself falling in love with the mother of his child.

The relationship between Leo and Cass begins as a one-night stand that quickly spirals out of control. Leo struggles to remember our story line heroine, and yet, he refuses to accept the possibility that he is the father of Cass’s child. Barely able to look after himself, Leo is the epitome of bad boy; a child-like attitude where fun and parties are more important than personal responsibilities including the biggest responsibility of them all. Believing he is unworthy of love, Leo reinforces the belief by continuously breaking the heart of the woman he loves. As Cass slowly begins to accept Leo into her life, Leo will find himself facing his demons, a demon that is about to destroy all progress he has made so far. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to Cass’s parents Dale and Claudia Cline, as well as Cass’s friend and former roommate Olive. Emmett Stone’s story line is next in Tin Queen.

FALLEN JESTER is a story of vengeance and betrayal; heart break and struggle; family, relationships, friendships and love. The premise is emotional and engaging; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are temperamental, intense, broken yet healing. FALLEN JESTER sees another Tin Gypsy find love and a happily ever after.

NOTE: The excerpt is intended for mature audiences due to strong language and content.

She took one step before stopping. A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, the same corner I’d kissed earlier, and I fought the urge to stand and capture that mouth again. Her smile broadened, though there was pain in her eyes.“Colin is a cool kid. You’re a good dad, Graham. I always knew you would be.”

She might as well have stabbed me in the chest.

“Thanks,” I said, watching as she walked away.

Fuck me.

When had I never loved that woman?

Maybe that kiss had woken me up. Maybe it had made me realize how goddamn lonely I’d been without her. I had Colin, but there was a corner of my heart that would always belong to Quinn.

I should have followed her nine years ago.
Because now it was too late.

ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date October 29, 2019

There’s more happening at the club’s garage than muscle car restorations and Harley rebuilds. Her instincts are screaming there’s a story—one she’s going to tell.

As the new owner of the small town’s newspaper, Bryce is hungry for more than birth announcements and obituaries. When a woman is brutally killed and all signs point to the Tin Gypsies, Bryce is determined to expose the club and their leader, Kingston “Dash” Slater, as murderers.

Bryce bests Dash match after match, disappointed her rugged and handsome opponent turns out to be an underwhelming adversary. Secrets are exposed. Truths defeat lies. Bryce is poised to win this battle in a landslide.

Then Dash breaks all the rules and tips the scales.

One kiss, and she’s fighting to save more than just her story. She’s fighting to save her heart from the Gypsy King.

••••••••••

REVIEW: GYPSY KING is the first instalment in Devney Perry’s contemporary, adult TIN GYPSY erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the members of the former Tin Gypsy MC. This is club president Kingston ‘Dash’ Slater, and journalist Bryce Ryan’s story line. The Tin Gypsy is a spin-off from the author’s Jamison Valley series and Clover Chapel #1, but you do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow Gypsy King.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bryce and Dash) GYPSY KING follows the building relationship and romance between the former Tin Gypsy club president Kingston ‘Dash’ Slater, and journalist Bryce Ryan. A woman was found murdered at a local Clifton Forge hotel, and journalist and new co-owner of the newspaper, Bryce Ryan, is determined to expose the now-defunct Tin Gypsies MC as the killers she believes them to be. Desperate for a story Bryce is willing to point fingers, with the help of the local police, at former club president Draven Slater, before any proof has been revealed but in doing so may have pointed the finger at an innocent man. When Kingston ‘Dash’ Slater offers a compromise to work together to uncover the truth, secrets will be revealed throwing Dash and Draven’s life out of control. What ensues is the building relationship between Dash and Bryce, and the potential fall-out as the Tin Gypsies may have been targeted for sins of the past, and Bryce becomes collateral damage in a war long thought over and done.

Bryce Ryan had wanted to make it big in television journalism but things did not go according to plan. Hoping to make a name for herself, Bryce buys into the family owned newspaper, and starts to dig up dirt on the former MC. Dash Slater has kept his nose clean for over a year but the accusations against his father find Dash facing off with the new reporter in town, a woman that stirs up all sorts of anger and emotions.

The relationship between Dash and Bryce is one of immediate attraction but Bryce is determined to dig up dirt on the former MC. Aggressive and pushy, Bryce refuses to back down desperate to prove she could once again be a successful reporter. Working together to uncover the truth pushes Bryce and Dash together, pulling at the barely veiled palpable sexual energy. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Bryce’s father Lane Ryan; as well as several former members of the Tin Gypsy MC including Dash’s brother Nick, and their father Draven: Emmett, Leo, Isaiah, and bookkeeper Presley.

GYPSY KING is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance, and lies. The conflict has yet to be resolved but secrets from the past have stirred up a hornet’s nest of confusion, and had made its’ way to Clifton Forge. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is steamy and hot. GYPSY KING is a strong introduction to the Tin Gypsy series.
