She has a secret she’s desperate to keep…
With danger looming on the horizon, former FBI agent turned bunny, Bambi Lane, isn’t taking any chances. Taking refuge in a nearby town, she builds a new and comfortable life under the radar, but when trouble comes knocking on her door, she finds that the one thing she’s worked so hard to protect is about to be exposed.
He has a desire that won’t be denied.
Curtis “Taco” Nash, the Spartan’s road captain, has always marched to the beat of his own drum, his only loyalty to that of his brothers and the club. Only one person has ever successfully clawed their way under Curtis Nash’s skin, and when she disappeared from his life without so much as a goodbye, he wrote her off—at least, he tried to. One mention of the one who got away, and he’s consumed with desire—and anger. He wants answers. He wants her. He’s about to get a lot more than he bargained for.
As the war between the cartel and the Spartans heats up, Taco has to decide if he’s going to protect his brothers or the new life that’s waiting for him. When everything hangs in the balance, one thing is clear: No one is safe. Will Bambi and Taco be able to come together and find the strength to take a leap of faith before time runs out?

REVIEW: BRASH is the fourth installment in JC Valentine’s contemporary, adult SPARTAN RIDERS erotic, MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Spartan Riders MC. This is Spartan Riders’ road captain Curtis ‘Taco’Nash, and former FBI agent Bambi Lane’s story line. BRASH 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 series in order as their is an ongoing war between the Spartan Riders and the Cruiz drug cartel. Curtis and Bambi’s story line begins in the previous installments wherein their relationship is kept secret from the other Club members.
Told from several third person perspectives including Curtis and Bambi BRASH follows the second chance romance between Spartan Riders MC road captain Curtis ‘Taco’ Nash, and former FBI agent Bambi Lane. One year earlier, as the war with the Cruiz cartel crossed over into their personal lives of the Spartan Riders’ families, Bambi Lane packed up leaving her hometown and Curtis behind. Their secret affair meant Bambi had no recourse with the Spartan Riders members; banned from the clubhouse, her affair with Curtis was hidden behind closed doors. Fast forward to present day wherein Bambi’s life has changed; she is free of the Spartan lifestyle but misses Curtis more than she ever could have imagined. A chance encounter with some of the Club members’ wives finds our heroine on the look out for the man that calls to her heart. Now that her secret is about to be revealed Bambi must prepare to face the wrath of the man with whom she had fallen in love. Enter Curtis ‘Taco’ Nash, Spartan Riders MC road captain who is determined to keep Bambi close by his side. The war with the Cruiz cartel continues to escalate, and everyone, including girlfriends and wives, are considered collateral damage in a game of betrayal and revenge.
BRASH looks at the volatile and dangerous MC lifestyle: the threats, the hazards, the intimidation, and the instability and insecurity of life in the MC. No one is safe when a traitor turns deadly; the Cruiz cartel will renew their attacks against the Spartan MC. The premise is dark and gritty; the characters are colorful and charismatic; the romance is a second chance for two people pulled apart by the uncertainty of the future.

One would think that staring death in the face would inspire some originality. Hell, it always inspired her, but then, she was the one doling it out, so maybe that was the difference. Still, she was a little bored with the whole “devil” nametag. It was becoming…cliché.
Perhaps she could hold a seminar about it.
Dressed in a brand new white satin negligée, Luciana stood over Manuel’s sleeping form. In her hand was the push dagger he kept in the top drawer in the table beside the bed. He had another under his pillow and a gun to go along with it.
Manuel had toys stashed all over the house, and she knew where every single one of them were hidden. No one did anything under her nose without her knowing about it.
As she did almost every night, Luciana waited for Manuel to fall asleep, and then she took out that dagger and stood over him, watching him sleep as she wondered how and when she’d do it. Kill him, that is.
It was on her to-do list, so it would happen. It wasn’t a matter of if, but when.
Just as she did every night, she lost track of time. Hours passed while she stared at him, memorizing his lithe form, those thick, muscular thighs and tight abs. He had the most beautiful face she’d ever seen on a man, but he was a killer. Just like her.
Two killers, both with ambitions, couldn’t coexist side by side. One day, it was going to come down to survival, and Lucina was determined to come out on top. She wasn’t called the Mantis for nothing.
