ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 16, 2025

I never imagined that an alluring thief would turn my carefully constructed world upside down. Or that I would like it.

Nova
I’m no thief with a heart of gold. I steal from the rich and give to myself to make ends meet. One day I’ll have enough to get the hell out of New Orleans to start fresh, away from the memories of everything I’ve lost.

I should have known the first time I laid eyes on the dark-haired man in a custom suit, he was more than just another mark. But I didn’t. I should have walked away that night and never thought about him again. But I didn’t. When I discovered he has ties to the one person I hate for taking everything from me, maybe I shouldn’t have run.
But I did.

Cillian

Our enemies are six feet under, and Boston is ours. At least that’s what we thought.

A rival organization has decided to pick up where they left off, and I refuse to watch it happen again. They think our rules don’t apply to them. They’re dead wrong. Now, I’m in New Orleans to find them, and cut them off at the knees.

Everything is going according to plan. Until I stumble into a stunning pickpocket whose smart mouth and quick wit charms me from the moment she opens her red-painted lips. I should have left that night and never given her a second thought. But I didn’t. I should have put her captivating green eyes out of my mind and focused on taking down another deadly criminal organization. But I didn’t.

Then she ran, and I told myself I’d never see her again. But I did. When she crashes back into my life, I should walk away. But I can’t. They found her. They know who she is.

And now they’ll pay for ever thinking they can touch what’s mine.

REVIEW:Cillian is the fourth and last (I believe) installment in The Boston Syndicate series by Kate Randall. It is most definitely recommended to read the series in order before meeting Cillian, there are too many characters in previous books that play a big part to walk in without having read. Check the trigger warnings as well; this is a mafia style romance and we all know what that can bring.

First and foremost; the dirty talk in the book is top shelf, chefs 💋, mawa! We have met Cillian in previous books, and the little we did get, I’m not surprised at the man. Walking sexy time on two legs that is for sure. 😏

Nova is a wild child, and a thief to boot, she doesn’t let anything stop her from getting what she wants. The rich have too much, and she doesn’t so what does a little pickpocketing hurt? When one wallet changes everything and brings Cillian to her door, little does she know that her life is never going to be the same.

To say this book was wild and spicy would not do it justice! Cillian going along with the wild ride that is Nova was pure genius. They complement each other so well and the spicy bits *fans myself a little* Whew! They were fantastic! Cillian is top notch at his little kinky thing. Now don’t get it wrong, all this is true, but there are still plenty of hardcore moments that had me stopping for a moment. Mafia is mafia, and mafia is intense.

Kudos to Ms. Kate, Cillian was a great way to kick off 2025 and I really look forward to seeing what comes next.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 25, 2024

Fifteen years ago, he broke her heart to save her from danger. Now she’s back, and he’s the only one who can protect her from the deadly threat closing in around them.

Freya
All I wanted when I left Shine, Massachusetts was a fresh start. I built a career and a reputation I could be proud of by putting the worst of the criminal underworld behind bars.
I was safe and away from the turbulent life of the Black Roses.
Until a knock at my door thrust me back into the town I ran from, and into the clubhouse of the man who shattered my heart.

Ozzy
I built a wall around my heart after I broke both of ours. I did what I had to do as the future president of the Black Roses MC. I needed Freya safe, and my brothers needed me whole.
For fifteen years, I pretended I was.
Now, I owe a man a favor, and he’s come to collect in the form of my club safeguarding the one woman who has the power to break me all over again.

They nearly ended her life fifteen years ago, now they’ll pay with theirs for ever believing they could touch her in the first place.

REVIEW:Ozzy is the third installment in the Black Rose MC series by the ever talented; Kate Randall. As it is book three in the series, I do recommend reading the series in order, but they can be read as standalones should a reader choose. If you love MC romances filled with strong female leads, second chance love stories and alpha, protective men, then this series is the one for you.

Ozzy and Freya have history. A history of blood, broken promises and lost love. Fifteen years later and a favor of a friend brings them back together again. Freya is now a high-powered lawyer; she puts bad people away for a living. Now that what feels like her life-long goal of putting away the man that hurt her all those years is coming true, she feels like she can finally move on to the next stage of her life. Too bad said bad guy has other plans.

When a favor is called in; MC President, Ozzy makes good on it. The favor? To protect a woman that the Italian Mafia has painted a target on. The kicker? It just happens to be his ex, an ex that ripped part of his soul out when she left him all those years ago. Freya isn’t stopping though, even if she has to rely on the only man she has ever loved, the man who broke her heart when she was eighteen, and one that she never was able to forget.

Man of man, the amount of chemistry and angst between these two; you could cut it with a knife. From the little we saw of them in the previous books, I was excited to see what else was going to happen. Their second chance romance was so bittersweet at first, then they learned what really happened, and how Ozzy and Freya came to terms with it. It makes the storyline even better.

I can’t wait to see what MC man we get next; I hope Knox!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 3, 2023

She never dreamed her salvation would come from a man on a black motorcycle who wears a MC patch.

Charlie
The only thing I was sure of was people lied. They would say they loved you, but their fists would tell a different story. I had to leave, to run before he killed me.
When the enigmatic stranger I met once in a run-down diner finds me escaping, he takes the matter in his hands and gives my ex a taste of his own cruel medicine. A decision that cost my unlikely savior six years of his life.
I never forgot his warm touch, or the way I felt safe with him for a brief moment before I ran for my life.
Imagine my surprise when half a decade later our paths collide unexpectedly, and I discover he’s part of a powerful MC with ties to my vengeful ex.

Linc
I couldn’t walk away then, and nothing can make me now.
After losing my freedom for helping the beaten girl I found on the side of the road, I was determined to let her go. The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine.
I never imagined I’d see her again, but fate had other plans. Now, she needs my protection more than ever. But this time around, she’s keeping secrets that could get her killed. And it isn’t only her ex who’s on the hunt for what she’s desperately trying to hide.

If this scared girl from my past can’t find a way to trust me with the truth, then it will be more than just her life that’s at stake.

REVIEW:Linc by Kate Randall is the first in what I hope to be a very long MC series. Linc is a slow burn, MC romance with men that aren’t always the good guys. Linc and Charlie were so good to read!

When Charlie is first introduced in this book, I felt for her so much. First her abusive father, then her abusive ex, she just didn’t have the best of luck. Lincoln aka Linc is a member of the Black Roses MMC, it’s the lifestyle that fits him best. When he and his MC brothers meet Charlie for the first time, it’s clear that she is abused and broken. Something about Charlie calls to Linc, a call that lands him in jail for six years. Charlie is destroyed when she learns what happened to Lincoln, no one ever protected her the way he did. No one made her feel safe.

Fast forward six years and Charlie is on the run, never staying aware for long, she can’t risk her ex finding her ever again. Some of the best reading moments are with Charlie and her bestie Lucy, neither of them trust people easily so their bond together is beautiful. When Linc and Charlie meet again after his imprisonment, it’s awkward to say the least, but the draw they had all those years is still there and stronger than ever.

For a first time reader of this author, I am hooked! MC romances can sometimes be overly…aggressive, but Kate Randall has a gift with words. Linc and Charlie are so amazing together, the plot is easy to keep up with but suspenseful enough to keep the reader engaged and eager. Oh and the spice, wow the spice, is well…spicy and it’s often! I am really looking forward to the next books in this series, I very much hope it’s going to be Lucy and Jude. Those two….those two are going to be FUN to read.
