ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 10, 2024

Christmas is in the air, and the importance of family has never felt stronger.
Stepping into my brother’s shoes wasn’t going to be easy. Zero led with greatness—just like our father before him.

Now, it’s my time to prove that the Walker legacy is unbreakable.

My Old Lady is expecting again, and my family’s growing—there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect them. But I can’t turn my back when my brothers and I encounter a woman in distress on a run.

The protector in me demands I step in.

Yet, doing the right thing might come at a cost. Am I risking everything—my family, my brothers, and the love of my life—just to play the hero?

Sometimes, saving one life means putting everything else on the line.

With Christmas here, I know what matters. Family is everything, and I’ll risk it all, even my life, to get them back. Because during this festive time of year, there’s nothing more important than raining down hellfire to show your Christmas spirit.

•••••

REVIEW: FESTIVE is the ninth instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult HOUSTON DEFIANCE MC erotic ,MC romance series. This is the continuing story of MC president Koda ‘Six’ Walker, and his old lady Thayleah aka Rebel. FESTIVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.Rebel and Six’s story begins in book seven SECRETIVE

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Six, Rebel, Zero) FESTIVE follows in the weeks before the Christmas holidays. On a run with the club,Six, Zero and the men come upon a woman in distress, a woman they welcome into the family as one of their own but Rebel struggles with the woman’s arrival, never quite believing everything she sees. Pregnant with their third child, Rebel battles between head and heart with the man that she loves, a man whose preoccupation with everyone else leaves his family behind.

The world building focuses on the struggling relationship between Six and Rebel; the arrival of a woman no one knows; and the ongoing battle to reclaim their place in the underground world of drugs.

The relationship between Six and Rebel has already been established but there are cracks on the surface, cracks that are beginning to show. Rebel is struggling to trust the man whom she loves, a man who claims to want everything and more. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Houston Defiance MC, as well as the return of Rebel’s father Shotgun, and newcomer Amber.

FESTIVE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies,heartbreak and sorrow, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining but predictable; the romance is passionate; the characters are energetic and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 21, 2024

There was a time when it felt like I had it all.
The grades, the friends, and the girl next door.
Her being my best friend’s little sister almost made it easier to hide our relationship.
But as they say, good things never last.

When tragedy strikes and our worlds are irrevocably changed, nothing can be the same between us. Our lives are torn in different directions, and for thirteen years, the only way Bea and I communicated was via email.

With my knowledge of tech and with no sense of care or duty for anything anymore, I found myself drawn to the Defiance MC. The club filled a dark void within me, though not entirely.

Then, one night, after years of no verbal contact, I received a phone call from Bea—the woman who broke my heart—and she was belligerently drunk. Her health and wellness app had been hacked. She was desperately begging for my help.

There was no choice. It didn’t matter that the thought of seeing her terrified me. What I wasn’t ready for was the chaos bringing her back into my life would cause. Or how the magnitude of our enemies would be greater than we could ever have anticipated.

•••••

REVIEW: SUSPICIOUS is the fourth instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult LA DEFIANCE MC erotic, MC romance series, a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC, sent in the author’s Defiance worlds. This is Alex ‘Loki’ Grimes, and Beatrice ‘Bea’ Underwood’s story line. SUSPICIOUS 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 including graphic violence, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Loki and Bea) SUSPICIOUS follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Thirteen years earlier, Alex Grime’s life imploded, then his secret girlfriend, Beatrice Underwood, left him behind at her parent’s demands. Fast forward to present day wherein, Beatrice Underwood has developed a health and wellness app, and someone is hacked the app, blackmailing our heroine in the process. Desperate for help, Bea contacts the only man she believes can help , the man whose heart she broke years before. Enter Alex ‘Loki’ Grimes. Loki struggles with the return of the only woman he has ever loved but Bea is desperate, and the fall-out will destroy too many lives. What ensues is the rebuilding but forbidden romance and relationship between Bea and Loki, and the potential fall-out when the LA Defiance MC discover the who, how and why of Bea’s hacked app.

The world building follows several paths including the rekindling romance between Bea and Loki; betrayal from within by one of their own; the power of forgiveness and acceptance; the revenge aimed at the innocent and broken.

The relationship between Bea and Loki is one of second chances. Loki has never stopped loving our story line heroine but Bea left at a time when Loki needed her the most, and the ensuing spiral left Loki struggling with a direction in life. Bea never forgave herself for walking away but leaving Loki was never what she had intended. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of charismatic secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story lines as well as Loki’s best friend, and Bea’s brother Theo.

SUSPICIOUS is am enemies to lovers story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and mayhem, forgiveness and love .The character driven premise is captivating and emotional with some dark elements; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic, determined and resolute.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 12, 2024

My life hasn’t always been about togetherness.
It was heavy with separation, torn ruthlessly from the people I love.
A major tragedy between my parents, sent my life into a downward spiral.
I had no choice but to adjust.

Trying to fight my way out from the people I found myself tangled with, a saving grace came in the form of a biker. He took me in. Became my mentor and showed me how good life could be with the right people surrounding me.

As a prospect in this club, my job is to keep my head down, respect the rules, and do my time until I earn my patch. The problem is that Rhyan, the club’s princess, is one hundred percent off-limits.

Out of respect for the man who saved and mentored me, I try to keep my distance from Rhyan—his daughter. To go near her is forbidden. So, I make an effort to remain her friend. After all, I am the club rebel, and she is my complete opposite in every way. Yet, somehow, those differences make us stronger.

Our connection grows every day, and it’s becoming impossible to fight. But a blast from my past is set on ensuring that everyone I love suffers for my sins.

REVIEW:REBELLIOUS is the fourth instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult LA DEFIANCE MC dark, erotic, MC romance series-a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC/ set in the author’s world of Defiance MC. This is twenty-one year old prospect Noah Drake, and club princess Rhyan’s story line. REBELLIOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from 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 (Noah and Rhyan) REBELLIOUS follows the friends to lovers/forbidden romance and relationship between prospect Noah Drake, and club princess Rhyan. Rhyan is off limits to everyone in the LA Defiance MC but Noah struggles with his attraction to the woman with whom he will fall in love.Not all is well in Noah’s life, having survived childhood abuse at the hands of his father but his mother is paying the price for protecting her son, a price that is about to target our story line couple. What ensues is the building but forbidden romance between Noah and Rhyan, and the potential fall-out as Noah’s life in the MC is on the line when Rhyan becomes collateral damage for sins of the past.

The world building focuses on the continuing fall-out of the past; and the forbidden attraction between our story line couple .Noah’s mother is serving a life sentence but no one is safe from the people in control. Rhyan refuses to back down from the woman with whom she will fall in love, and in this, Noah’s standing in the MC is on precarious grounds.

The relationship between Noah and Rhyan is one of a forbidden romance. Rhyan is off limits to everyone in the club but Rhyan wants Noah, and Noah will do anything for the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate

The secondary and supporting characters include the previous story line couples (Dutch and Ellie, Mav and Sadie, Alpha and Haven, Clover), as well as several more members of the LA Defiance MC.

REBELLIOUS is a story of betrayal, vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is sensitive, intriguing and emotional; the romance is impassioned; the characters are flawed, animated, desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2024

My entire world has been turned upside down.
With one adjustment after another.
The truth of my father’s betrayal cuts deep.
Now, my little sister, Clover, is struggling to deal with day-to-day life.

I’ve given everything for her. I joined Defiance to keep her safe. And now, being reunited with our older sister who we thought was gone, I don’t have to go it alone. But it’s not enough. Clover’s grades are declining, and I refuse to let her fail.

Enter Sadie, the feisty blonde tutor. A woman who takes my breath away, despite hurling accusations that the club is Clover’s issue.

She might be small in stature, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in sassiness. Sadie doesn’t hold back, letting me know her thoughts on the club, and me. But what is clear mutual loathing needs to be set aside, because Sadie is the only one who can help Clover thrive.

Sadie aggravates me, yet something pulls me toward her. She’s a beacon, but beneath the light shines secrets. There’s a poison running through her hidden past. I just have to hope the venom doesn’t paralyze me before it’s too late.

••••

REVIEW:MALICIOUS is the second instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary adult LA DEFIANCE MC erotic, MC romance series -a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC/ set in the author’s world of Defiance MC. This is Jesse ‘Maverick’ Cadell, and baker/tutor Sadie Evan/ Connor’s story line. MALICIOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sadie and Maverick) MALICIOUS follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Maverick joined LA Defiance in the wake of his father’s betrayal, and protecting his sister Clover is precipitated Maverick’s move to LA but Clover’s health and her association with the MC are affecting her grades, so the club hires tutor Sadie Connor. From the outset, Maverick struggles with Sadie’s appearance in their lives, her attitude towards the club, and his attraction to the woman who would steal his heart but Sadie has a secret that is about to threaten the live of everyone Maverick loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Maverick and Sadie, and the potential fall-out as the past returns to claim our story line heroine placing a target on the back of the LA Defiance MC.

The world building follows several paths including the personal lives of several members of the LA Defiance MC. From Clover’s struggle in school, to Ingrid’s pregnancy, and the potential war with the Rojas Cartel, and the Steel Serpents MC.

The relationship between Maverick and Sadie is acrimonious at best. Sadie doesn’t respect the MC and her reasons are currently not known but Maverick’s dislike of Sadie is in complete contradiction to his attraction to the woman with whom he will fall in love. The love scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters include LA Defiance MC president and former Special Forces soldier Alpha, and twenty-five year old Haven aka Blue Jay; Livvy, Rhyann, Poppy, Navy, Loki, Dutch, South and Ingrid (NOLA Defiance MC) as well as Sadie’s ex Grave, and her brother Wes. The requisite evil has many faces.

MALICIOUS is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, destruction and chaos, acceptance and love. The premise is impassioned and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are energetic , determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 12, 2024

Nothing but death surrounds me.
For years, I’ve lived with the ghosts of the people who have died because of me.
I hear their screams, I see their bodies.
Like a never-ending circle, the vision replays in my mind.

Hiding, locking myself away when the voices in my head get too loud, is my only saving grace. That is until one wild night, I meet Haven at a bar. She’s crazy, uninhibited, a little unhinged. Everything I didn’t know I needed.

By chance, she shows up at the clubhouse a week later—our connection instant. But war is brewing between the club and the Rojas Cartel. We’re on shaky ground, and tensions are high.

While Haven is staying at the LA Defiance clubhouse, I notice her inquisitiveness. It seems innocent at the time, but when everything comes to light, the betrayal is brutal, and nothing is as it seems. There’s so much more going on than I could have possibly imagined.

Secrets are revealed, enemies are closer than I could have predicted, and the war I am fighting in my head, is about to consume my entire world.

••••

REVIEW:NOTORIOUS is the first instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult LA DEFIANCE MC erotic , MC romance series-a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC/ set in the author’s world of Defiance MC. This is forty year old, LA Defiance MC president and former Special Forces soldier Alpha, and twenty-five year old Haven aka Blue Jay’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Alpha and Haven) using present day and memories from the past, NOTORIOUS follows in the wake of a one-night between our story line couple. Alpha has struggled in the years since his discharge from the military but more so since death of someone close. Ghosted by his one-night stand, Alpha is surprised when Haven reappears, accepting everything and everyone in the state of his life but all is not as is appears to be, and the face of betrayal is about to destroy our story line hero. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Alpha and Haven,and the potential fall-out as the past becomes the present threatening our story line couple.

The world building follows several intersecting paths including the a deployment that went all to h@ll; the war between the Defiance MC and the Rojas Cartel; and the demons that refuse to die.

The relationship between Alpha and Haven begins as a one-night stand but upon their reconnection, quickly turns into something more. Haven’s reappearance in Alpha’s life comes with a caveat, a caveat that threatens everyone involved. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, dynamic and energetic secondary and supporting characters including the return of Jesse aka Maverick and his sister Clover (Incinerate NOLA Defiance 4), MC VP Swift, Alpha’s ex wife LIvvy, Rhy,Navy, Loki, Dutch, South and many more. Maverick’s story line is next.

NOTORIOUS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, madness and mayhem, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are broken, determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 28, 2023

From the ashes.
That was my plan from the very beginning.
To rise from the inferno and build something new with Makaylie. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. Everything I thought I didn’t need.

So when her safety is in question because of my very existence, I must protect her. Even if it’s from the men who look up to me as their leader. If they found out about her, the cost would be devastating.
She’s a good girl—I’m nothing but a wounded man with a black heart, keeping my identity from her.

When our different worlds collide, the outcome will be catastrophic—not only for her but for the people we love. The chaos I’ve unleashed will wreak havoc on the streets of Baton Rouge, and no one will be safe.

Not even the sanctity of the Baton Rouge Bachelors can outrun the storm that’s coming.

•••••••••

REVIEW: FROM THE ASHES is the second and final instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult BATON ROUGE BACHELORS dark, erotic, romance duet. This is the continuing story of Baton Rouge Bachelors second in command, Cain Barrington, and twenty-six year old author, Makaylie Rayne’s story line. FROM THE ASHES and the Baton Rouge Bachelors is a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC series-several characters cross over for continuity. FROM THE ASHES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one UP IN FLAMES.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Makaylie and Cain) FROM THE ASHES picks up immediately after the events of book one in which, desperate to protect the woman he loves, Cain pushes Makaylie out of his life but Makaylie refuses to walk away, and in doing so, places herself in the direct line of fire. As the second in command of the Louisiana crime syndicate The Baton Rouge Bachelors, Cain is quickly losing control of his men, and the people under his command including the woman he loves. Makaylie refuses to ‘obey’ our story line hero, and finds herself the target of some powerful men. Often dismissed and rebuffed by the man that she loves, Makaylie walks away but struggle in the wake of the knowledge that all is not as it appears to be. What ensues is the building relationship between Makaylie and Cain, and the fall-out as death and destruction follow in their wake.

The world building continues to focus on the strained relationship between our story line couple, and the secret life of Cain Barrington. Hoping his criminal connections and lifestyle would never touch the woman he loved, Cain would quickly discover betrayal comes at a cost, the lives of the people he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and aggressive.

The colorful, energetic and often questionable secondary and supporting characters include Makaylie’s best friend Joey, several members of the Baton Rouge Bachelors crime syndicate, as well as the NOLA Defiance MC, and Cain’s right hand man Rodberg. The requisite evil has many faces, yet not everyone will survive.

FROM THE ASHES is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, loss and grief, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance struggles in the face perceived betrayal; the characters are driven, purposeful and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 11, 2023

An inferno.
That’s what my life became the second I laid eyes on her.
I’m ruthless, calculating, cold-blooded. Second in charge of an underworld establishment that men fear and the elite strive for membership—there’s no room in my world for an innocent like her.

The Baton Rouge Bachelors run this town. Politicians, celebrities, and high society are known to use our services. But make no mistake, the Bachelors are cruel, brutal, and malicious.
You need something done, we will do it—for a price, of course.

But the women who stand beside us need to be hard. Cunning. And just as heartless as we are. So when I meet Makaylie, and she is anything but, I know I must protect her from my vile world at all costs.
Even if it means I have to watch everything I have worked for, everything I have built, go up in flames.

•••••

REVIEW: UP IN FLAMES is the first instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult BATON ROUGE BACHELORS dark, erotic, romance duet. This is Cain Barrington, and twenty-six year old Makaylie Rayne’s story line. UP IN FLAMES and the Baton Rouge Bachelors is a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC series. Several characters cross over for continuity and cohesion.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Makaylie and Cain) UP IN FLAMES follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Makaylie Rayne is an aspiring author, and she is about to meet her muse in the guise of second in command of the crime group known as Baton Rouge Bachelors Cain Barrington. After her car breaks down, Makaylie will be rescued by a stranger-enter Cain Barrington. Cain recognizes our heroine, as they both live in the same building but Makaylie has no idea as to what is about to unfold. As their relationship begins to build, Cain continues to warn Makaylie that he is not a good man but a man with a dark past, and a darker present. As life with the Baton Rouge Brotherhood grows more troubling by the day, Cain fears the fall-out will affect his relationship with the woman he is growing to love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Makaylie and Cain, and the potential fall-out when Cain’s loyalty to the Brotherhood comes into question.

The world building focuses on Cain’s duties as second in command of the Baton Rouge Brotherhood, and his obsession with our story line heroine. As part of the criminal underworld element of New Orleans, the Brotherhood depend upon the allegiance and obedience of their members, and betrayal will come at a cost. Throughout the story, Cain struggles with Makaylie, and a perception of dishonesty but Cain’s secrets and lies are a threat to their growing relationship.

The relationship between Cain and Makaylie begins as a rescue. Cain’s attraction to Makaylie is immediate but our heroine believes Cain is nothing more than a stalker, unaware of who he is or where he lives. As their relationship continues to grow, Cain’s secrets are only partially revealed, and to protect our heroine, Cain will push Makaylie out of his life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and interesting secondary and supporting characters including Makaylie’s roommate Joey aka Josephine; Cain’s ‘roommate’ Rodberg, the man known only as Boss; Baton Rouge Brotherhood including Trap and Selene, Alfie, Morgan, and several members of NOLA Defiance MC- Hoodoo, Maxxy.

UP IN FLAMES is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, power and control. The premise is gritty and dramatic; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate and determined. UP IN FLAMES ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15, 2023

We met a long time ago.
Our bond, instant.
And it didn’t matter that she was older than me.

At the time I didn’t see her as anything but an incredible woman who stepped up and cared for me when no one else would. Now, years later, Ingrid is the ‘mother’ of the club I’ve transferred to.
The thought of us wasn’t a fantasy for me back then.
But it’s becoming one now.
The problem is—she’s my president’s stepmom.
And her deceased husband was my father’s best friend.

To say it’s complicated is an understatement. As we develop feelings for each other, life-threatening curveballs are launched in her direction—and I’m the only one who knows.
While trying to keep her safe, the club is at war, the fight coming at us from multiple directions.
The chaos is real and unwavering.
But in the face of obliteration, we can do nothing else but stand tall because…
We are Defiance!

•••••••

REVIEW:OBLITERATE is the seventh and final instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult NOLA DEFIANCE MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Romeo ‘ South’ North, and Ingrid Ladet’s story line. OBLITERATE should not be read as a stand alone as it is the culmination of all of the previous instalments, and the introduction to the author’s DEFIANCE MC series spin-off set in LA. Ingrid is the mother of Novah and Nash, and the former wife of Reaper, the late NOLA Defiance MC president.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (South and Ingrid) with a final chapter from Hurricane OBLITERATE is an older woman, younger man story line focusing on the building relationship between our leading couple. Years earlier, a then sixteen year old, Romeo North fell in love with his father’s best friend’s wife, and in the ensuing time never forgot the advise Ingrid Ladet gave to his younger self. Fast forward to present day, a now twenty-eight year old Romeo ‘South’ North, is a member of the NOLA Defiance MC, which will bring him up close and personal with the older woman who has starred in all of his fantasies and dreams but all is not well for the NOLA Defiance MC, as the Bratva has set their sights on taking down anyone who stands in the ways. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Ingrid and South, and the potential fall-out as the MC is targeted by more than one potential enemy, forcing Hurricane’s hand in the face of betrayal and vengeance.

The world building is the completion of the NOLA Defiance MC series, a series in which the MC members must face a terrible choice, protecting the people they love, or destroying a friendship built upon dozens of years.

The relationship between Ingrid and South is an older woman, younger man but with it comes all of the issues of experiences and life. Ingrid knows if she and South cross the line, there may be repercussions for our story line hero. Ingrid is the MC mother, and as such she is supposed to be accorded the respect she is due . Falling for South was never in the cards but Ingrid would discover South is willing to die to protect the people he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, charismatic and controversial secondary and supporting characters including the return of Bratva head Anton, and the Baroness Constance Squires, who is about to exert her control over the south.

OBLITERATE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, love and loss, destruction and demons, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is dark, heart breaking and emotional-not everyone will survive but I sussed out the twists right from the start; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are impassioned and determined. But…I did have one issue, as it pertained to their twenty-eight year age difference but it does not become apparent until the end of the story.
