ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15 2021

The MacKenny family has six brothers, of which I’m the youngest.

They are all honest men, but I’m not.I lie, I cheat, and I’ll do anything to get what I want.My life got complicated the day my girlfriend walked in on me with another woman. It meant nothing, but to Annette, it was the ultimate betrayal. Annette should have called before her surprise visit, but I suppose her grandmother dying was why she didn’t.

I don’t deserve a second chance, but the universe conspires to give me one.What would you do if the woman you loved lost her memory and didn’t remember what a bastard you are but instead went back to a time when you were in love? Would you go along with it? Would you do anything to keep her in the dark?

I’m not wasting the time we have together. My brothers can go to hell, this is my redemption, and I’ll do whatever is necessary to keep Annette and prove I can be the man she needs me to be.

••••••

REVIEW: SPARK OF REDEMPTION is the sixth instalment in Kathleen Kelly’s contemporary, adult MACKENNY BROTHERS/ MC erotic, romance series focusing on the McKenny brothers. This is young brother Lochlan MacKenny, and Annette’s story line. SPARK OF REDEMPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

Told from several first person perspectives (Lochlan, Kyle, Sean, Annette) SPARK OF REDEMPTION follows in the aftermath of Annette discovering the man whom she loved in bed with someone else. Annette and Lochlan have been in a relationship for as long as she can remember and hoping to surprise him, Annette heads to Boston where Lochlan is working on a business proposal with New England Warriors former QB Grayson Moore. Betrayal is swift; then her grandmother dies, and Annette struggles with her place in the MacKenny fold. Moving to New York to start anew working for the owner of a successful string of yoga studios, Annette will have to face her demons when Lochlan announces the family intends to buy the business for which Annette currently works. An accident will pull Annette back into Lochlan’s life, an accident of which Annette no longer remembers what happened. With Lochlan by her side, Annette begins her recovery but life has other plans for our story line couple.

The world building focuses on betrayal, growing up, responsibility and love. As Lochlan struggles to make amends for the past, Annette struggles to heal in the face of both physical and emotional pain.

The relationship between Lochlan and Annette is one of second chances. Lochlan broke Annette’s heart, and her trust, and in this, our hero is determined to make amends for the sins of his past. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters include most of the previous story line couples, and all of the MacKenny brothers. We are introduced to New England Warriors former QB Grayson Moore; nurse and physiotherapist Simon; Yoga studio owner Derek Strauss, and New England Warriors team owner Tyson Reed.

SPARK OF REDEMPTION is a story of betrayal and mistrust; secrets and lies; family and friendships; forgiveness, love and loss. The premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is seductive ; the characters are charismatic and determined. SPARK OF REDEMPTION ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

SPARK OF PASSION
MacKenny Brothers / MC 7
by Kathleen Kelly
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic,romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

Release Date: September 30, 2024

ABOUT THE BOOK: It’s been five years since I left home and nearly six since Lochlan passed away.

New York isn’t the place I envision for my son. I want Beathan to experience the same joyful childhood I had—surrounded by family and be free to run and play without fear. So, returning to my hometown will give Beathan the life I’ve always dreamed of providing him.

For five years, I lived in New York with billionaire Tyson Reed. Our relationship has remained strictly platonic, though my heart longs for more. Tyson has been a father figure to Beathan and the man I fall for more deeply with each passing day.

But life takes a dark turn when Beathan is kidnapped.
The captors believe he is Tyson’s son.

Now, the MacKenny family and Tyson must unite to bring Beathan home.

Cutter, the ruthless enforcer for the Loyal Rebels, must confront his inner demons while vying for a permanent place within the MacKenny brothers’ inner circle. His deadly resolve is tested as he struggles to rescue the boy and do as his MC president commands.

It is a desperate race against time, not only to save my son but to ignite the spark of passion between Tyson and me that has been smoldering for so long.

•••••••

REVIEW:SPARK OF PASSION is the seventh instalment in Kathleen Kelly’s contemporary, adult MACKENNY BROTHERS / MC romance series focusing on the MacKenny clan and the Loyal Rebels MC. This is New England Warriors football team owner Tyson Reed, and Annette’s story line. SPARK OF PASSION can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book six SPARK OF REDEMPTION for back story and cohesion where Annette’s story begins.

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

SPOILER WARNING: If you have not read SPARK OF REDEMPTION there may be spoilers in my review although the book blurb is quite revealing.

Told from six first person perspectives including Tyson and Annette SPARK OF PASSION follows the return of Annette to her home town of Becca Falls, and to the extended family she left behind. Approximately six years earlier Annette lost the love of her life, and in the ensuing aftermath, discovered she was pregnant. Moving back to New York to forget about the past, Annette and her son will take refuge with a close family friend, billionaire Tyson Reed. Fast forward to present day, Annette believes it is time to return home, home to the family she has never forgotten but life is about to become more complicated when her son Beathan is kidnapped, believing he is the son of Tyson Reed. As the MacKenny family members and the Loyal Rebels MC begins a search for the missing child, Tyson must come to terms with a perceived betrayal from within.

The world building follows several paths including Annette’s move to Becca Falls; her relationship and building love for Tyson Reed; the kidnapping of a five year old child; the fall-out of betrayal and greed.

The relationship between Annette and Tyson begins as friendship but we are oblivious to the six years between book six and seven. Tyson and Annette never crossed the line throughout the years but the palpable sexual attraction and love continued to grow. Annette’s return to Becca Falls forces Tyson to make a decision about his future, a future that involves our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Sean, Logan, Kyle, and Cutter, and Cutter’s new girlfriend Elaine, a relationship questioned by the MacKenny Clan. And Logan is struggling to find his place in the family.

SPARK OF PASSION is a story of betrayal and greed, obsession and madness, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is limited; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 2, 2024

Highway and Gwen race against time to unmask their enemies while confronting the powerful attraction growing between them.

The streets of Jacksonville are ruled by the Royal Bastards MC. They ride on the edge of the law. Highway is their road captain.

Gwen, a photographer, gets caught up in the whirlwind. Wanting to be more than just a bystander, she finds herself drawn into the dangerous world of the Royal Bastards.

Bound by a shared desire for justice, Highway and Gwen work together to uncover betrayal and test the club’s deepest loyalties. As their attraction grows, will their love endure the storm of violence and uncertainty threatening to tear them apart?

Or will it be consumed by the flames of conflict that threaten to engulf them all?

••••••

REVIEW: HIGHWAY by Kathleen Kelly is a contemporary, adult , erotic, MC romance story line set in the multi-authored RBMC world. This is photographer/journalist Gwen ‘Lyric’ Fullerton, and RBMC: Jacksonville FL road captain Highway’s story line. HIGHWAY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Gwen is Lucy’s sister (REAPER 2)

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Gwen, Highway, Winchester) HIGHWAY follows photographer Gwen Fullerton as she gets up close and personal with the members of the RBMC: Jacksonville FL, using her camera to tell a story. From the outset the MC finds themselves under attack, and our heroine is caught in the middle of another war. Having worked in the Middle East as a war correspondent, Gwen believes she is capable of everything, and prepared for anything but our heroine is about to get a crash course on following the rules. Enter MC Road Captain Highway, and the man with whom Gwen will fall in love. As the RBMC: Jacksonville FL struggle to take care of their own, a possible mole is working behind the scenes, setting the MC up for a fall.

The world building is detailed and busy as the RBMC: Jacksonville FL prepare for a war. From the Crimson Wheelers MC, the Khan family, the Russian Bratva, and the Diablo Cartel, everyone becomes suspect but it is Gwen’s camera that will give the MC an edge in a war for control.

The relationship between Gwen and Highway begins acrimoniously as Highway battles with his attraction to our story line heroine. Highway doesn’t do relationships but something about Gwen forces Highway to become guardian and protector even though Gwen claims she can look after herself. Often TSLTL (too stupid to live) Gwen places herself in the direct line of fire at every opportunity, and in direct conflict to the MC rules. As their relationship continues to build, Highway finds himself falling for a woman who is determined to go it alone. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Crimson Wheelers MC, The Khan Family, the Diablo Cartel,and the Russian Bratva; cameo appearances from members of various RBMCs staggered throughout the multi-authored series as well as the return of VP Reaper and Lucy, Prez Creed and Devil, Fingers, Feral, Justice, SAA Winchester and Gwen’s father Dr. Fullerton. The requisite evil has many faces.

HIGHWAY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, duty and honor, acceptance, forgiveness and love. The fast paced and often frenetic premise is dramatic and captivating; the characters are determined and dynamic; the romance is impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 18, 2022

Creed, President of the Royal Bastards MC in Jacksonville, Florida, is ruthless in his desire to rule his club and his men.
And damn, if he isn’t good at it.
Until the day Vivian stumbles into his arms and blows his life to hell. On holiday and out of her depth, she doesn’t have the sense to run when danger comes calling.
Vivian unwittingly gets involved with a drug ring. She’s a lamb in a pool of sharks, believing in those who are only using her to their own ends.

Why did she ever come to Jacksonville?

Vivian is in way over her head. All she did was help a woman get her bags off the carousel at the airport. Vivian thought she was helping an old lady, and even though she wanted a shower and sleep, it seemed like the right thing to do. It wasn’t her fault the bags got mixed up.
Now, she’s at the Royal Bastards MC clubhouse, sitting opposite the brooding Creed. His eyes don’t leave hers and she can’t tell if he’s angry, aroused, or simply amused by her.

One thing’s for sure, Creed lives by his own rules and beliefs. He rules the Royal Bastards with an iron fist. Will Creed believe Vivian or let the sharks have her?

•••••

REVIEW: CREED is the first instalment in Kathleen Kelly’s contemporary, adult ROYAL B*STARDS MC: Jacksonville, FL, erotic, MC, romance series-a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is President of the RBMC: Jacksonville chapter Creed, and Australian Vivian Lewis aka ‘Devil’s story line CREED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Creed, Devil, Camilla) CREED follows in the wake of a luggage mix up at the airport. Vivian has arrived in Florida for a six week vacation, a vacation predicated upon the break up of her relationship to a man who was having an affair with her best friend Jade but Vivian mistakenly picks up the wrong luggage, luggage that contains several blocks of heroin belonging to the Diablo Cartel, wherein Vivian will find herself a prisoner of the Royal B*stards MC. Enter MC president Creed, and the man with whom Vivian will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Creed and Devil, and the potential fall-out as the Diablo Cartel demands retribution including the death of our story line heroine.

The relationship between Creed and Vivian is predicated upon an order by the Diablo Cartel. Camilla Sanchez, head of the Jacksonville cartel demands Vivian pay for her mistake, payment in death for knowing too much. Creed is ordered by Camilla to take care of the problem, a problem with whom Creed is about to fall in love. Keeping Vivian safe at the RBMC compound means staying up close and personal with our story line heroine but Creed never expected to fall in love with a woman as feisty as the ‘Tasmanian Devil’. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Creed’s RBMC brothers: VP Reaper, SAA Winchester, Road Captain Highway, Tail Gunner Scout, Justice, Lucy and Missy; Officer Peter Schulz, as well as several members of the Mexican Cartel including Camilla Sanchez, her brother Gabriel, and their father Mateo, and Hector. The requisite evil has many faces. Reaper and Lucy’s story line is next.

CREED is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder, drugs and human trafficking, respect, acceptance and love. The premise is dark but intriguing; the romance is steamy and provocative; the characters are numerous and energetic.
