ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 31, 2024

Trick

My life ended in the blink of an eye. Everything I held in my heart was shattered by one bullet. Bound in my anger, I did the only thing I could and took revenge. It took eight months for me to come out of that vengeance-fuelled rage and realise I was losing the most important thing in my life: my daughter, Sophia and my club family. Rebuilding bridges and making amends is the only thing that matters now. I have to focus on my kid, and on reclaiming my rightful place in the Sons. But grief is a savage beast and I find comfort in the one person I know understands how I feel. Heidi has also suffered, but I find she’s a puzzle I can’t solve.

Heidi

Every day it feels like I’m drowning in my grief and my pain, until Sophia comes into my life. She gives me purpose and reminds me that life is worth living. For too long the shadows of my past have pulled me into the darkness and it’s time to start existing again. The club was once my sanctuary, my safe haven, but it’s become a prison. I know what the brothers and old ladies think about me and what they whisper behind closed doors. They think I’m crazy, unhinged, disloyal, but everything I’ve done has been to protect the people I love.

••••••

REVIEW: TRICK is the eight and final instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SON MC: MANCHESTER CHAPTER erotic, MC romance series. This is Trick and Heidi’s story line. TRICK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order, or at the very least books six and seven where Trick’s life begins to spiral out of control.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Trick and Heidi) TRICK follows the building relationship between Heidi and Trick. Approximately sixteen months earlier, Trick’s pregnant wife was murdered, leaving Trick a single father but a father in need of desperate revenge. Disobeying his club, Trick went on a rampage that would eventually target the Untamed Sons MC, leaving Trick struggling for a place with the family he once loved. Meanwhile, Heidi, having suffered her own losses a few years earlier, volunteers to look after Trick’s daughter Sophia, in the wake of her father’s disappearance . With Trick’s return, he and Heidi struggle to accept what happened and why, and the Untamed Sons MC want their piece of flesh, taking aim at our story line hero but the enemy is still free, and once again, Heidi and Trick will be targeted in a game of betrayal and revenge.

The world building focuses on love and loss; on betrayal and vengeance; on desperation and determination as Trick must make amends for the pain he caused even though his pain Is great if not greater than those who are demanding reparations. Heidi has struggled since the murder of her husband, and a loss of which she keeps close to her heart. Falling for Trick was never in the cards but raising his daughter gives Heidi purposes, going forward.

The relationship between Heidi and Trick begins out of necessity. Trick disappears for weeks at a time, seeking revenge for the loss of his wife but Trick forgot about the child he left behind, and in doing so, Heidi stepped forward to help raise a child that wasn’t her own. As Trick and Heidi’s life becomes entangled, secrets reveal a devastating loss for our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters many of whom take aim at our story line hero. Trick has lost the trust and friendships from the people he once called brother but grief and death take its’ toll on everyone differently.

TRICK is a story of loss and grief, struggle and purpose, secrets and lies, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and emotional; the romance is fated; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 10, 2023

Rage

Getting sent to Manchester feels like a punishment. I’m the new kid in the club and trying to prove to my brothers that I’m worthy of their loyalty comes at a cost. As the war with the Pioneers heats up, lines are crossed to survive. Everything is going to plan until a chance encounter puts her in my path.

Skye

Growing up I knew my father was deadly, but when he drags my childhood friend into his war with a motorcycle club, I know I need to escape before it’s too late for me. A nameless stranger in a bar catches me at a weak moment. He’s gorgeous, and I’m instantly drawn to him, but it’s an encounter with devastating consequences. Two lines on a pregnancy test are bad enough, but then I discover his identity and I realise how much danger I’m truly in.This is the first part of a duet for Rage and Skye’s story. It ends on a cliffhanger and the story will continue in the next book in the series.

•••••••

REVIEW: RAGE is the sixth instalment in Jessica Ames’s contemporary, adult MANCHESTER CHAPTER: UNTAMED SONS MC dark, erotic, MC romance. This is part one of nineteen year old, Beau aka Rage, and eighteen year old, Skye Richardson’s story. RAGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rage and Skye) RAGE follows in the wake of one of their own seeking revenge against the group known as the Pioneers. With a target on their backs, Rage, a member of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons MC is sent on a job where he will meet a young woman, and six weeks later, will come face to face with his future in the guise of a pregnant Skye Richardson but all is not well in the lives of the Untamed Sons MC, and the ongoing war with the Pioneers is about to come home. As their brother continues his rampage and obsession with revenge, the possibility of a dark betrayal is about to threaten Rage and the woman he will call his own. What ensues is the ongoing to search for one of their own, as the club must deal with a perceived betrayal at home, and a murderous rampage from all sides.

The world building follows two intersecting paths. Skye Richardson is a crime lord’s daughter but is not totally unaware of the business of which her father partakes but saying that Skye will discover betrayal comes at a cost, and her live is about to become a lot more complicated. Meanwhile, Rage, whose earlier years have moulded our anti-hero into the killing machine he is today, a killer who has earned his name in the wake of his need to protect the people he loves.

The relationship between Skye and Rage is that of a one-night stand. Rage was on assignment, and Skye was nothing more than a one-night stand. Skye Richardson was on the run from her father, and with her best friend by her side, our heroine would discover the true meaning of betrayal and a knife to the back. The lone $ex scene is fast and furious.

The numerous secondary and supporting characters are familiar, desperate and dynamic including several members from both the Birmingham and Manchester Untamed Sons MC, as well as the introduction of Skye’s father Desmond Richardson, Skye’s best friends Tommy and Scarlett. The requisite evil has many faces.

RAGE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder and retribution, madness and mayhem, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is gritty, intense and dramatic; the characters are determined and broken; the romance is non-existent as our couple have only spent a few minutes together. RAGE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned

Release Date December 8, 2023

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Skye

Pregnant and in the hands of my enemies, I have no choice but to hope the father of my baby will protect me. I should have known that nothing in my life is ever simple. Rage is furious when he learns the truth about who I really am and his club isn’t prepared to let me go. I am a prisoner in place I thought could offer me safety, with a man who makes me want things I shouldn’t and there is no escape for me.

Rage

I messed up. I put a baby in the daughter of the man who is trying to wipe out my brothers and my club. I’m torn between throttling her and sinking into her warmth. All I know is that while she’s carrying my kid, no one is going to harm a hair on her head, but protecting her will not be an easy task. Skye is a target for both sides of this war, and the danger is closing in. The feelings I have for her are wrong, but she’s mine and I will destroy anyone who tries to harm her or my child.

•••••••

REVIEW:SKYE is the seventh instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult MANCHESTER CHAPTER: UNTAMED SONS MC dark, erotic, MC series, and part two in the Skye and Rage duet. This is the continuing story of nineteen year old, Rage aka Beau, and eighteen year old, Skye Richardson’s story line. SKYE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book six RAGE.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rage and Skye) and one chapter from Terror, SKYE follows in the aftermath of the arrival of Skye Richardson at the Manchester Chapter: Untamed Sons MC club house. Skye is pregnant following a one-night stand with Rage, but the Untamed Sons are at war with the group known as the Pioneers, and Skye will be targeted by both sides. Skye is an unknown but her connections to the Pioneers threatens the peace and survival of every member of the MC, and our heroine is about to become fodder in a war not of her making. Meanwhile, Rage struggles with his place within the Untamed Sons MC, always feeling like a temporary member, not wanted or belonging. When Skye is targeted by more than one potential threat, her life hangs in the balance, as does the life of their unborn child. What ensues is the building relationship between Rage and Skye, and the potential fall-out as our couple struggle to keep everything under control.

The world building follows several interconnected pathways: one of revenge, one of betrayal, one of obsession and one of growing love. Skye will become the target of more than one enemy, enemies that were once considered family and friends. As Skye and Rage’s relationship begins to build, their shot at a happily ever after will be stolen, and the lives threatened.

The relationship between Skye and Rage began as a one-night stand. Imprisoned by her father, betrayed by her two best friends, Skye escapes to discover that Untamed Sons MC considers her a plant, a mole to take them down. Falling in love with Skye meant making himself vulnerable to a broken heart but watching the woman he loved destroyed by the people she once trusted meant destroying the people who hurt her the most. The $ex scenes are aggressive, intimate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, dangerous and dynamic secondary and supporting characters. Friends will become enemies, members will take sides, lives will be threatened in the name of control.

SKYE is a dark and gritty story of madness, revenge, betrayal and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is provocative; the characters are broken, desperate, determined and charismatic.

Please note the TW, some scenes may be upsetting.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 26, 2023

Hawk
I am a nomad, moving between chapters of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, trying to find a place to belong. I never wanted to settle down and make roots, not after what happened in my past, but then I meet Wren. She’s the sister of one of the Manchester brothers and she should be off limits for that reason, but what starts as a bit of fun quickly turns serious for me. I didn’t expect to fall for her or come to love her kids as if they were my own, but this little family is fast becoming my world. When their lives are threatened I do the only thing I I go to war with their enemies.

Wren
I never thought I would become the target of a gang, but they want to hurt Brewer and they plan on using me and my kids to do it. Hawk is a distraction I don’t need, but I get lost in him to forget the drama unfolding around me. It started as a one-time thing, a fling with no strings attached. I should have known better. I never expected him to come back for more, but now that Hawk has had me, he’s not willing to walk away. When I find myself in the crosshairs of dangerous men, I realise the only person who can protect me is the man I’m trying so hard to deny.

•••••

REVIEW: HAWK is the fifth instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: MANCHESTER dark, erotic MC series. This is nomad Hawk aka Owen, and thirty-five year old, single mother Serenity aka Wren Kelley’s story line. HAWK can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book four BREWER for back story and cohesion. Some of the events of HAWK cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book four BREWER. Wren is the sister of Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley BREWER #4.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Wren and Hawk) HAWK follows in the wake of the rescue of our story line heroine. Years earlier, Serenity now known as Wren, survived several beatings at the hands of her abusive ex, and found herself, along with her four children, healing and thriving in the company of the Untamed Sons MC, a club in which her brother Madden aka Brewer was a member. With the support of the MC, Wren and her children found a family and a home but for the mysterious nomad Owen aka Hawk, who would come in and out of our heroine’s life. Neither Hawk nor Wren were looking for anything permanent until threats against the MC became deadly and dark. Claiming Wren as his own, and the children she loved, Hawk would become guardian and protector in the face of death threats and revenge against the Untamed Sons MC. Murder and torture, revenge and madness would force Wren and her children into seclusion with the MC, but at every turn someone always found a way to get close and threatening. What ensues is the building relationship between Wren and Hawk, and the potential fall-out as Wren and her children become pawns in a dangerous game of revenge.

The relationship between Wren and Hawk begins a ‘friends with benefits’ as neither one is wiling to commit to something more. Hawk is a nomad, with no place to call home but her is quickly falling for the woman who has stolen his heart. Wren has been through H*ll and back, and refuses to place herself, her heart and her children in the direct line fire but Wren knows that Hawk is the man to prove she is worthy of love, a love she will need to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are passionate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and dangerous secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line characters and couples, most of whom will play a large part in the lives of Wren and her children including Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley who is struggling with his own demons protecting the woman he loves. The requisite evil has many faces.

HAWK is a story of betrayal and revenge, power and control, murder, protection and retribution, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dark, gritty, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and energetic; the characters are desperate, dynamic and determined.

Brewer

As the money man of the Manchester chapter of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, my job is simple: make the illegal income legal and don’t get caught. I have a good life in the Sons, an easy one. I don’t have time for women or drama. But when my former cellmate calls and tells me his daughter is in trouble, I have no choice but to respond.

Ophelia

My father is a pathological liar, so when he tells me I’m in danger, I don’t believe him. Until a burly biker turns up on my doorstep. It’s been years since I last saw Brewer, but those feelings I had for him are still there. That doesn’t mean I have to do what he says.

But Brewer isn’t the same man I knew and no isn’t a word he’s used to hearing. When my father’s enemies come for me, he is the only one who can protect me, but who is going to save me from him?

Contains dark and distressing themes.

••••••

REVIEW: BREWER is the four instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary adult UNTAMED SONS MC MANCHESTER erotic, dark, MC romance series. This is Untamed Sons MC treasurer Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley, and Ophelia Morris’ story line. BREWER 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.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ophelia and Brewer) BREWER focuses on the protection of our story line heroine. Several years earlier Madden Kelley beat the man who was abusing his sister but Madden bided his time in prison, fantasizing about Ophelia Morris, his cell mates’ daughter. Fast forward to present day wherein Madden, now known as Brewer, gets a call from the prison, his former cell mates’ daughter has been targeted for her father’s sin. Enter Ophelia Morris, and the woman with whom Brewer will fall in love. As Brewer and the Untamed Sons MC struggle to protect our story line heroine, including killing anyone who takes aim at Ophelia Morris, retaliation is deadly and swift, placing the Untamed Sons MC at with the Dudley Pioneers MC. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Ophelia and Brewer, and the fall-out as innocent lives are lost in the fight for vengeance between warring MCs.

Madden ‘Brewer’ Kelley served his sentence to protect his sister but never expected to come face to face with his prison fantasy. A call from Ophelia’s father reveals a target on our heroine’s back, and Jeff Morris calls in a debt to protect his only child.Ophelia Morris knew nothing of her father’s life behind bars, and hadn’t seen or spoken to the man in several years but a call warning her that her life was in danger pulls Ophelia into a life she knows nothing about. Finding herself in the arms of the man she has fantasized about for several years means falling for a man who has placed his life and the life of his brothers in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Ophelia and Brewer started years before when Brewer first met Ophelia when our heroine was a teen. Trying to separate Ophelia from the life he will always lead, Brewer kept his distance until the payment of a debt meant pulling Ophelia into a life from which she may never return. Falling for Ophelia is easy, claiming her the right thing to do but protecting Ophelia is dangerous and deadly for everyone concerned. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dangeros secondary and supporting characters most of whom we have met in previous instalments . We are introduced to Ophelia’s best friend Farrah; Ophelia’s father Jeff Morris, as well as Brewer’s sister Serenity aka Wren, and nomad biker Hawk. Wren and Hawk’s story line is next.

BREWER is a quick read; a fast paced story of family, relationships, death and destruction, madness and mayhem, love and acceptance. The premise is dark, gritty, and heart breaking; the romance is impassioned; the characters are dangerous and determined.

Terror

As Sergeant at Arms of the Manchester chapter of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, my job is clear–protect my brothers and uphold the bylaws of my club. I’ve done that from the moment I patched in, risking my life and freedom for men I consider closer than blood.

I never thought I’d need anything else until she walked back into my life.

Finding Hope on a stage taking her clothes off for strangers enrages me. This isn’t how her life was supposed to turn out. I walked away so she could have everything she deserved. Now, she’s in danger and I’m going to destroy everyone who threatens her.

Hope

Seeing Terror again after all this time has me on edge. He can’t know the truth about how low I’ve sunk since I saw him last. I tried for years to put Terror out of my head, but my love for the boy who made my heart skip a beat never faded. I tried to move on, to marry and have a family and, for a while, things were good. Then the nightmare began.

My ex-husband despises me. He’s done everything in his power to hurt me both mentally and physically, but now he has something that can tear me apart.

My daughter.

Terror might have crashed into my life without an invitation, but now he’s the only one who can save me.

REVIEW: TERROR is the third instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: MANCHESTER erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty year old, SAA (Sargent at Arms) Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh, and twenty-eight year old, exotic dancer/single mother Hope Buckley’s story line. TERROR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hope and Terror) TERROR focuses on the rekindling romance and relationship between thirty year old, SAA (Sargent at Arms) Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh, and twenty-eight year old, exotic dancer/single mother Hope Buckley. Approximately twelve years earlier Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh walked out of Hope Buckley’s life having endured a life-time of abuse at the hands of his father. Kayden’s father, and Hope’s mother had married, uniting Hope and Kayden as step brother and sister but the abuse Kayden endured came at the cost of losing the woman he loved. Several years would pass, Hope would marry a man she thought she could love, only to discover she would also become the victim of domestic abuse, abuse that continued throughout her marriage and subsequent pregnancy. Working as an exotic dancer to pay her legal bills, Hope has lost custody of her daughter, and is about to lose her job when Kayden now known as Terror comes back into her life. What ensues is the rebuilding relationships between Kayden and Hope, as Kayden and the Untamed Sons MC put a plan into place to ensure Hope is protected, and she regains the custody of her three year old daughter.

Hope Buckley has struggled in the years since Kayden left. Kayden knew Hope was too good for the lifestyle he was about to lead but leaving Hope behind broke both of their hearts, leaving Hope to the vultures including Kayden’s father, and the man with whom Hope would eventually marry. Used and abused, Hope battled between head and heart knowing she may never see her daughter again but with the return of the man that she loved Hope continued to struggle with what was and what may never be.

The relationship between Hope and Kayden is one of second chances; a rebuilding relationship between two people destroyed by power and control, abuse and neglect. Kayden has never stopped loving our story line heroine but as Terror, Kayden now has the power to destroy the demons that continue to beat at the woman he loves. The $ex scenes between Terror and Hope are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Hope’s mother Marie, Kayden’s father Tim Walsh; Hope’s boss Zack Carmichael, her ex husband Mike, as well as MC members, Trick, Howler, Blackjack, Brewer, and solicitor Gerald. Brewer’s story line is next.

TERROR is a story of power, control, abuse and vendetta. The premise is gritty, dark and emotional; the characters are broken, determined and struggling to move forward; the romance is passionate and provocative.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Marleigh

One night was enough to change my life. I was taken, plucked out of my life and forced into hell. Gaining my freedom didn’t unshackle the chains around me. It made them tighten. I’m fuelled by my need to avenge the wrongs done to me and those I was forced to leave behind. I’ll stop at nothing to achieve that.
I don’t need a brave knight riding a motorcycle and wearing leather to save me. He doesn’t agree. He thinks I’m a damsel in distress, but I’m focused on my task—destroying the man who ripped my world apart.

Machete

Marleigh needs to realise I’m not walking away and leaving her to face these demons alone. This fight is mine as much as it’s hers. We’ve been tracking the men who are operating in our city without our permission and we’re ready to bring them down. We’ll stop at nothing to return safety to our streets, but Marleigh seems determined to get in my way at every turn. She needs to back off before she gets hurt. She’s under my skin and as much as I want to deny it, I want to claim her as mine. The problem is she’s walking into danger and I’m not sure if I can save her.

••••••

REVIEW: INTO THE DARK is the third instalment in Jessica Ames’ ROYAL B*ASTARDS MC, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND dark, erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is Marleigh, and Blake aka Machete’s story line. INTO THE DARK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Marleigh, Machete, Pretty Boy) INTO THE DARK continues to focus on the search and take down of a human trafficking ring in Liverpool, England. Three months earlier Marleigh and her best friend Ellie were abducted and trafficked by a powerful Russian oligarch but Marleigh escaped, and has spent the last few months placing herself in the direct line of fire, hoping to find where her best friend was taken but Marleigh will find herself reluctantly working with the Royal B*stards, and the Royal Harlots MC, in an effort to take down the man in charge. All does not go according to plan when the RBMC discover the Liverpool Port is but a small part of a global chain of human trafficking. What ensues is the building relationship between Marleigh and Machete, and the potential fall-out as Marleigh once again finds herself in a precarious position, with both her life and the life of Machete, hanging in the balance.

The relationship between Marleigh and Machete is one of immediate attraction but Marleigh’s only goal is to locate her friend, and bring her home. Machete suspects her friend may no longer be alive but Marleigh isn’t willing to give up until she uncovers the truth. As the relationship develops, Marleigh continues to place herself in danger, working with the Russian oligarch currently in charge. The $ex scenes between our leading couple are limited but passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including RBMC: Liverpool president Mouth and his old lady, gang leader Genevieve (Into the Flames 1), as well as the president of the Royal Harlots Angel, and her boyfriend Joel (Into the Fire 2), and Angel’s brother Pretty Boy.

INTO THE DARK is another dark and gritty story of power and control, danger and death, trafficking and abuse, acceptance and love. The premise is raw; the romance is limited; the characters are numerous, struggling, powerful and determined. INTO THE DARK ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Howler

As President of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons my job is simple: defend our territory and expand our reach. Ravage sent me here to build an empire and over the years that’s what I did. I carved out a slice of paradise for me and my brothers. We reaped the rewards of that peace, until a brother’s ex turns up and tells him his daughter is in danger.
None of us knew of Pia’s existence, but she’s a brother’s kid and that makes her family. We ride out to confront the club she was taken by and as soon as I lay eyes on her I know she’s mine. Beneath the bruises, I can tell Pia is beautiful and I’m instantly drawn to her. She’s also off limits, but I can’t stay away. I want to heal all her wounds and show her she’s not broken by what happened to her.

Pia

I never expected to be taken as payment for my ex-husband’s debt. The Road Jesters MC used and abused me in ways I can never recover from. When the Sons rode in to save me, there was only one person I trusted: Howler, their president. I should be terrified of him, but he soothes the demons that stalk me now. I don’t understand why his club saved me, but as truths are revealed I realise how tied I am to the Untamed Sons and that Howler will do anything to protect me from the threat of the Road Jesters.

•••••

REVIEW:HOWLER is the first instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: MANCHESTER CHAPTER dark, erotic, MC romance series- a spin off from the author’s Untamed Sons MC. This is Untamed Sons MC president Jake ‘Howler’ Ryland, and Pia’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Pia and Howler) HOWLER follows with the arrival of MC members Socket’s former love and the pronouncement that The Road Jesters MC had abducted his now adult daughter. Pia has been used as payment for a debt owed, payment Pia is paying with her sanity and her life. Never ones to leave family behind, the Untamed Sons MC go on a search and rescue mission for our story line heroine, a woman who has been broken by the Road Jesters MC. With Pia’s rescue comes a need for retribution, weeks to months of healing, as well as the search for the one man responsible for everything that went down. What ensues is the building relationship between Pia and Howler, and the potential fall-out as Pia struggles to move forward having discovered a family she knew nothing about.

The relationship between Pia and Howler is one of immediate attraction but Pia needs time to heal both emotionally and physically, and in this, Howler is with her every step of the way. Howler’s need for vengeance for the woman he loves is almost as strong as his need to claim our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are introduced to the members of the Untamed Sons MC: Manchester Chapter: Vice President Blackjack, Socket, Pia’s mother Valentina, and Pia’s ex-husband Max, as well as Wrecker, Griller and Boulder from the Road Jesters MC. Blackjack’s story line is next.

HOWLER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, torture and abuse, family and relationships, rescue and redemption, forgiveness and love. The premise is raw and gritty; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic, broken but healing.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Blackjack

As Vice President of the Manchester chapter of the Untamed Sons, I have one job—to stand at my president’s side. That’s what I’ve done since we came here to expand our territory. I’m always on the lookout for trouble, but I never expected to find her in a casino in my home patch. She looked sweet, innocent, then she took me for everything I had. I’m a gambling man but that night I played my cards wrong and lost. I never expected to see her again, but when she turns up at the clubhouse telling me her life is in danger I have to put our past behind to save her.

Elyse

Robbing a member of an MC isn’t my smartest plan, but I’m desperate. The man I owe money to is escalating. He’s forcing me to do things I would never have thought possible before this happened to keep me and my brother safe. Now I’m staring at a positive pregnancy test, wondering if the only person who can fix all of this is the man whose baby I’m carrying—the man I robbed.

Several weeks will pass when Elyse makes a surprise visit to the Untamed Sons MC, looking for help from the man that she robbed, and announcing she is pregnant with Blackjack’s baby.Still struggling in the wake of the theft, Blackjack battles between head and heart knowing he wanted nothing to do with Elyse ever again but Elyse and her brother are in trouble, and Elyse may be paying with more than her life.

The relationship between Elyse and Blackjack begins as a one night stand wherein Elyse, desperate for money, robs our story line hero. Blackjack threatens Elyse if she should ever show her face again but desperate time called for desperate measures, and Elyse found herself grovelling to the man with whom she would fall in love but with Elyse’s announcement Blackjack has a sudden change of heart, and finds himself becoming protector and guardian of the woman he will claim as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

We are introduced to Elyse’s younger brother Aaron, as well as the return of Howler and Pia, Socket, Doc Mara, and Terror. The requisite evil has a couple of faces.

BLACKJACK is another story of betrayal and vengeance, abuse, torture and power, acceptance and love. The premise is gritty but entertaining; the romance is erotic and seductive; the characters are desperate but determined.

Elena

My life was planned from the moment I was born. I am to marry for my family, to cement old alliances and create new ones. I know I have no say in who will be standing at the end of the aisle, but I didn’t expect my father to sell me to a monster. Kane Fraser is known for his cruelty and his coldness. In a few weeks’ time he will become my husband and will have complete control over my life.

Kane

The last thing I want is a wife, but my family needs me to do my duty and I will do anything to protect my siblings. Elena is nothing like I envisaged. She’s brash, loud and able to take care of herself. From the moment I put that ring on her finger, I knew this would be a match made in hell, but this is a situation neither of us can escape.

Until death do us part is just a saying, but when someone targets my wife I have to put our differences aside and protect her life. She is a Fraser and no one touches what’s mine.

••••••

REVIEW:THE TIES THAT BIND is the second instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult FRASER CRIME SYNDICATE dark, erotic, criminal underworld series, a spin off from the author’s UNTAMED SONS MC series. This is twenty seven year old, heir to the Fraser Syndicate Kane Fraser, and Elena Adam’s story line. THE TIES THAT BIND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, torture, abuse and strong language, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kane and Elena) THE TIES THAT BIND follows the arranged marriage between twenty-seven year old heir to the Fraser Syndicate Kane Fraser, and Elena Adams, daughter of Hamish Adams, head of the Adams Syndicate. Kane’s mother Charlotte, and Elena’s father Hamish have arranged for the marriage of their children Kane and Elena, in an effort to form a stronger and more powerful crime family but neither Kane nor Elena is happy about their new paths going forward but both have accepted their fate in life. All is not well from the outset as Elena and Kane find themselves targeted and attacked on more then one occasion but the principle target is our story line heroine. As Elena and Kane quickly settle into married life, secrets revealed find Elena on the defensive when Kane is no longer able to trust the woman with whom he is falling in love. An emergency will pull Elena away from the safety of the house, an emergency that finds Elena facing her own mortality in an effort to save someone she loves. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Elena and Kane, and the potential fall-out as the lifestyle of the crime syndicate threatens any peace for our story line couple.

The relationship between Kane and Elena begins as an arranged marriage in which both Kane and Elena knew it was only a matter of time before they were forced to marry someone they did not love. Elena struggled to trust a man whose reputation as a killer preceded his introduction to our story line heroine, and Kane battled between head and heart knowing the marriage was a ruse to usurp the power from the head of the Adams Syndicate. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are re-introduced to Kane’s brothers: Lucas and his wife Sariah (Fracture Vows 1), and Zeke (Bailey/Untamed Sons MC 7), as well as their sister Aurelia; their parents Anthony and Charlotte Fraser; Kane’s bodyguard Nathan Ford; Elena’s sister Letta and her husband Michael Maloney, their brother Dex, and father Hamish Adams, and step-mother Margaret.

THE TIES THAT BIND is a story of power and control; dysfunctional family values and manipulation; betrayal, abuse, torture and love. The fast paced premise is dark and gritty; the characters are strong willed, dynamic and determined; the romance is captivating, passionate and provocative.
