HANNAH

Adventure. Fun. And the freedom of the open road.

I’ll show them. They treat me like a child–and I am no child.
How dare they tell me “No.”
It’s an author signing for God’s sake.
What could possibly go wrong?

Taking my three besties,
We hit the road, travel across the country for some fun,
Real unsupervised, crazy-as-Hell fun.
And boy do we find it.

After all, we’re heading to the MMM23 signing,
Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem,
And it’s everything we’ve ever wanted.
This is what RUNNING WILD is all about.

••••••

REVIEW:RUNNING WILD by DM Earl is a stand alone, contemporary adult found in the author’s DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC series, and a part of the MAYHEM MAKERS multi-authored series focusing on the fictional Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem author’s book signing blending fact with fiction as many of the participating authors in the series have cameos and mentions, as names are dropped and their own series revealed.

Told from several first person perspectives RUNNING WILD follows in the wake of four Devil’s Handmaidens prospects, an all women MC, who are travelling across country for a chance to meet some of Hannah’s favorite authors at the Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem author event. Kitty, and the twins Dottie and Dani have absconded with an SUV from the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, and are headed to Texas to help Hannah with her once in a life time dream, to meet the people behind the books that she loves to read but the foursome have left behind a p*ssed of Prez, and angry MC, who refuse to let the prospects venture on their own. Along the way, the prospects will come face to face with a potential stalker, a young man who will catch the heart of one of our story line heroines but all is not well upon reaching their destination when Zoey aka Shadow’s past returns bringing trouble right behind.

RUNNING WILD is a fast paced, almost frenetic story line with numerous characters including several members of the Grimm Wolves MC. The premise is entertaining and fun with serious and dramatic moments; the romance between Hannah and Presley has only just begun.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 7, 2023

Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved a girl, and she loved him right back. Then I threw it all away. Turns out guys born into darkness don’t get a happily ever after.

And now that darkness owns me.

As the underboss to one of the youngest dons in La Cosa Nostra, responsibility is a heavy cross to bear. Regret is not an option. My grandfather taught me that the world is ruthless—and now, so am I.

Until she came back, and all I have are regrets.

Stubborn, she throws my family’s protection back in our faces. Now word is out, and she’s become a target for more than one reason.

Our enemies are conspiring against us, and a war is brewing. I can’t let her get caught in the crossfire. We need to be able to trust each other, yet we both have secrets that threaten to destroy us. Not happening.

I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Give. Up.

REVIEW:BLOOD MONEY: Vittorio is the second instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult LA FAMIGLIA DE LUCA erotic, Mafia romance series-a part of the multi-authored MAYHEM MAKERS SERIES. This is twenty-eight year old, Chicago underboss Vittorio De Luca, and twenty-six year old Kendall’s story line. BLOOD MONEY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of BLOOD MONEY cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book one BLOOD LUST.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vittorio and Kendall) BLOOD MONEY follows the second chance romance and relationship between twenty-eight year old, Chicago underboss Vittorio De Luca, and twenty-six year old Kendall. Ten years earlier, Vittorio De Luca, of the De Luca crime family, fell in love with Kendall, the granddaughter of a small bakery owner, against his grandfather’s wishes. In an effort to protect the woman he loved, Vittorio walked away but never forgot about the woman that called to his heart. Fast forward to present day, Vittorio will discover Kendall has returned in the wake of her grandmother’s illness, a return that brings with it memories from the past but all is not well in Chicago, as someone is trying to encroach on the De Luca territory, taking aim at our story line heroine. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Vittorio and Kendall, and the potential fall-out as Kendall struggles with what happened and why, and Vittorio learns the truth about Kendall’s heart breaking past.

Kendall had quickly fallen in love with Vittorio De Luca. A summer spent together ended with Kendall’s broken heart, and Vittorio a no-show to say goodbye. Ten years would pass before Kendall would see Vittorio but memories would never erase the loss and heart break of what could have been. Vittorio De Luca’s life was never his own, and his relationship with Kendall went against his grandfather’s laws. In an effort to protect Kendall, Vittorio was about to destroy the woman he loved but her destruction would come at a much larger cost.

The relationship between Vittorio and Kendall begins as a forbidden romance; a summer affair that ended painfully cruel and surprisingly hard. Vittorio was desperate to protect our story line heroine but in doing so would lose much more than the woman who had stolen his heart. Kendall’s return to Chicago meant a second chance for Vittorio but a second chance that would come with new and different threats for the De Luca family. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Vittorio’s brothers Gabriel, Alessio, Lorenzo and Leo; friends/security Pietro and Dario, as well as Vittorio’s grandfather, their father, and Kendall’s Nonna, and parents. The requisite evil has many faces. The author includes cameos and drops the name of several other authors (including her own) who are participating in the Mayhem Makers series.

BLOOD MONEY is a story of family and relationships, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, second chances and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are charismatic, powerful yet vulnerable and lost.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 16, 2023

Faith
As a single mom, getting a night on the town is unexpected. Much less a weekend. When an opportunity arises to go to a signing in Texas, I cannot help but jump at it. Between being a mom, author, and running my life coaching business, I never get the time to embrace the wild side of me. If you would’ve told me the weekend that was supposed to be dedicated to my readers and writing about bikers would include my own personal biker to swoon over. I would’ve called you a liar.
Dude
Growing up without a family really messed with my head. When I joined the Iron Travelers MC I thought I had found my family. However, something is missing and I cannot put my finger on it. While at an author signing, I meet a woman that makes me feel. She makes me see another side of myself I never knew I had. Will she be the one to restore my faith and family?

REVIEW: RESTORE YOUR FAITH is the second instalment in Kristine Dugger’s contemporary, adult IRON TRAVELERS MC, erotic, MC romance series-a part of the multi-authored Mayhem Makers MC. This is Iron Travelers MC Texas president Devin aka Dude, and single mother / romance author Faith Kraemer’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 (Faith and Devin) RESTORE YOUR FAITH follows a weekend in Texas where MC romance author Faith Kraemer will meet the Iron Travelers MC President Devin aka Dude, a real-life MC story line about to come true. Faith and her best friend Krystal spend a wild night at a local club where they will each meet their future in the guise of the president and vice president of the Iron Travelers MC but Faith wanted an anonymous one night stand, that will quickly turn into something more for our story line hero. Devin is desperate to reconnect with the woman that immediately called to his heart but knows nothing about our story line heroine until he discovers her best friend has spent the night with his friend and VP Buddy. Faith is an MC romance writer, and Devin is about to claim our heroine as his own but Faith has obligations back home, and pushed Devin out of her life. What ensues is the insta-lust to love relationship between Faith and Devin, and the potential fall-out has Faith battles between head and heart when news of a different sort changes the future going forward.

The relationship between Faith and Devin is one of immediate attraction but Faith doesn’t want a commitment, and Devin is hoping for a happily ever after. Faith is in town for a romance author’s convention, and is hoping for some motivation for her story line plots. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative but when not together, Devin aka Dude is a manwh*re with no qualms about screwing around with someone else. I didn’t feel the love but there was definite obsession, lust and desperation.

We are introduced to Faith’s best friend Krystal, as well as Iron Travelers MC members Buddy, Kilt and Cowboy.

RESTORE YOUR FAITH is a quick read; a story of insta love; an MC president that finds love when and where he never expected, and a woman who struggles with commitments back home. The fast paced premise is entertaining; the romance is obsessive; the characters are energetic and determined-Faith and Krystal are a little rough around the edges, and are not opposed to calling one another derogatory names in fun, usually intended to hurt and degrade women under a different circumstance.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who thought he could save the world. Then I grew up. The end. Turns out the world is much darker than I realized.

And now I’m part of that darkness.

As one of the youngest dons in La Cosa Nostra, I have a lot to prove. Weakness is not an option. My father taught me to be fair, but to be ruthless—something I’m a pro at.

Until a chance meeting at an author event, of all places, and one night of anonymous, guilt-free bliss.

Weeks later, an unexpected betrayal drops her in my lap, and I own every inch of her for six months. She might hate me, but our chemistry is undeniable.

She’s driving me crazy, and the feelings she evokes are dangerous. They make her a liability. Especially when I have an unknown enemy who wants nothing more than to see me devastated—and dead.

Now I have to keep both of us safe or die trying.

I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Lose.
