ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2024

Skyler

My best friend died, leaving me to guard her secrets.
I never thought her secrets would become my nightmare.
I did what I had to do to survive, I ran.
Leaving everyone I love behind, including him.
I carried a piece of him with me, until it was taken away from me too.
Broken, angry, and tired of running, I fought.
For my life, the parts of myself I thought were lost, and for him.
He hates me, thinks I betrayed his family.
He’s the only thing I could never let go, no matter how many times I tried.
Would he love me again if he knew my secrets? If he knew why I had to run?
When my past comes back to haunt me, will he protect me,
or throw me to the Devil himself?

Ethan
She knows what happened to my sister.
She could’ve put the man responsible behind bars,
But instead, he got off free and clear, and she ran away.
She was supposed to be my forever.
Six years have passed and now she’s back in town ready to restart her life.
I want her gone.
Until a trouble comes looking for her.
She’s been keeping secrets, protecting those whose job it is to protect her.
I’ll fight her demons, then I’m going to make up for lost time.
And she’s never getting away from me again.

REVIEW:ETHAN’S SKY is the first instalment in Jl Quincy’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF FURY MC: OAKRIDGE erotic, MC romance series. This is twenty-four year old club dancer Skyler Sinclair, and Kings of Fury MC Road Captain Ethan Anderson’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 (Skyler and Ethan) using present day and memories from the past, ETHAN’S SKY follows in the perceived betrayal by our story line heroine. Approximately six years earlier, Ethan lost his sister and blamed the woman he loved, Skyler Sinclair, a woman who disappeared without a trace leaving a grieving Ethan to fend for himself. Fast forward to present day, Skyler is returning home to the protection of the Kings of Fury MC, a return precipitated by the murder of someone she loved but all is not well upon Skyler’s return-Ethan is determined to destroy the woman he once loved, ensuring Skyler is not welcome back, regardless of her previous connections with the Kings of Fury MC. Someone else is taking aim, targeting our story line heroine, and in doing so, threatens the club that has always had her back. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Skyler and Ethan, and the potential fall-out as the sins of the past take aim at Skyler Sinclair.

The world building is detailed, complex and often redundant. There are numerous names and plenty of info dumping throughout the story line, setting the stage for future stories. We are up close and person with the secrets from the past, secrets that destroyed both Ethan and Skyler, and set into motion a six year need for betrayal by the man Skyler still loves.

The relationship between Skyler and Ethan is a rekindling romance but a romance that is struggling in the face of secrets and lies. Skyler is hiding the truth about what happened years before, a truth many members of the Kings of Fury MC know only too well. As Skyler prepares for the firestorm that is Ethan Anderson, Ethan battles between head and heart believing Skyler was responsible for the death of his sister. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Kings of Fury MC, Devil’s Order MC, and Vincenzo Parisi. The requisite evil has many faces.

ETHAN’S SKY is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, murder and obsession, power and control, family, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating but comprehensive-I think some editing may be necessary as the number of characters is exhaustive, and the duplication of information is unnecessary. Overall, a great start to an entertaining and interesting new MC series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 21, 2024

POWERTRAIN

I’m not anyone’s Forever.
At least that’s what I kept telling myself,
Until I met her.
It was supposed to be an easy job.
Find the girl, grab the girl, and drag the girl home.
But when it came to Whisper Hudson, nothing was easy.
The woman was as wild as her father and as stubborn as her brother.
Being an RBMC Princess meant she was off limits to all of us.
She challenged me every step of the way, bringing out the worst in me.
So why did I crave her?
Why did she tempt me?
To make matters worse, we were being hunted.
Hunted by a past that had no mercy.
A past that wanted to take away everything that mattered to me,
And Whisper mattered more than I wanted her to.
Denying it was futile.
Now, if only she’d trust me enough to let me in.

WHISPER

I harbored a secret.
A curse that I carried with me since the day I was born.
I didn’t let anyone near me so easily,
Afraid I’d be trapped- my wings clipped.
It was not in the cards to fall in love with a biker,
An infuriatingly, irresistible biker,
Who was under orders to take away the one thing that mattered to me.
My freedom.
But despite my resistance, the tension between us grew thicker,
And with one touch, we both lost control.
I had spent my whole life alone,
running away from everyone and everything.
But for the first time, I was afraid of being left behind.
I had found my forever, and despite the dark secrets that haunt us,
I am not willing to let him go.

REVIEW:TORMENTED BY REGRET is the sixth instalment in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult RBMC: New Orleans (National Chapter) erotic, MC paranormal romance series-a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is thirty-five year old, Lee ‘Powertrain’ Berwick, and twenty-one year old, Whisper Hudson’s story line. TORMENTED BY REGRET can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

RBMC: New Orleans series crosses over with the National Chapter series

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Whisper and Powertrain) TORMENTED BY REGRET follows the building but forbidden romance between our story line couple. Lee ‘Powertrain’ Berwick has been tasked by his president to retrieve Spectre’s daughter Whisper (Spectre’s Raven) aka Macabre’s sister (Belle Macabre) but Powertrain has no idea what he is about to find. Whisper is a bit of a fireball; a spoiled MC princess who doesn’t like to be told what to do, and in this, Powertrain is about to discover Whisper is so much more than he could have ever imagined. Meanwhile, Powertrain’s past is taking aim at our story line hero, and Whisper is about to find herself collateral damage as vengeance is dark and deadly. What ensues is the cross country journey, and building relationship between Whisper and Powertrain, and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to forgive or forget.

The world building follows several paths as the RBMC is preparing for war with the Bloody Scorpions but one of their own now has a target on his back. The National Chapter has had to deal years of betrayal and madness at the hands of the people in charge, and the madness is about to return in the form of Powertrain’s past.

The relationship between Whisper and Powertrain is one of the forbidden. Powertrain has been warned to keep his hands off of our story line heroine but the attraction is immediate and intense, and despite all of Whisper’s protestations, she is hoping for something more from our story line hero. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative including some scenes of spanking.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and questionable secondary and supporting characters including several from interconnected RBMC, and the mention of others. We are introduced to Whisper’s mother, a woman who is struggling with the loss of her mind.

TORMENTED BY REGRET is a story of murder and mayhem, madness and obsession, secrets and lies, surprises and acceptance, family and love. The fast paced premise is haunting, edgy and tragic ; the characters are animated and desperate; the romance is spirited.

My name is Crimson Syn, not really, but what fun is it to use my real name. Instead I’ll use my inner goddess’ name, it’s much more fun that way. I grew up in New York City where I had a wonderful education, loving parents and awesome friends. What more could a girl ask for?

I started writing at the age of sixteen. The first romance I read was Stephanie Laurens’ Devil’s Bride. Since then I have been influenced by dozens of flourishing romance authors and even more dashing and daring rogues. I must say it, but Fifty Shades was not my first erotic romance, nor did it influence me to start writing them. If you’ve never read Mary Balogh, Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas, Bertrice Small or A.N. Roquelaure’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, then you’re missing out. Those were my sweet introductions to erotic romance, and boy were they hot.

So here I am, after reading so many wonderful stories, I have too many sinful tales of my own not to share. I like my alphas rough and possessive, and I have no shame in saying it or writing it. I had delightfully wicked teachers growing up, their books took me to new worlds and brought me new loves. So, I want to do the same for you. I want to indulge my readers in those steamy reads that will send them into the arms of dangerous alphas and deliciously sexy rogues, without leaving the confines of their nice warm bed. If I am able to entice your inner goddesses, then I have done my job and I am satisfied.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 28, 2024

Knox
President of the Royal Bastards MC in Knoxville, my life’s a ride on the wild side. Besides my brothers, I ride alone. Then, Eliza comes crashing in, a beautiful light in my dark world. The moment I accidentally hosed her down at that charity bike wash, I knew she was something special. Eliza’s not just smoking hot when she’s soaking wet and angry. She’s a teacher and a single mom, trying to piece her life back together after a nasty divorce. A respectable lady, educated, when I graduated from the school of hard knocks. Yeah, she’s smart so she doesn’t date bikers like me. I don’t blame her. Just as I’m trying to win her over, showing her how a dumb guy like me could love her, her ex-husband turns up cold. Suddenly, I’m in the eye of the storm, a suspect. Sure, I decked him that one night, but I didn’t kill him. I’ve got to clear my name, not just for me, but for Eliza. She’s tangled up in this mess with me now, and I need to protect her, even if it means diving back into the darkness of my past – a past I planned to keep secret. How can a woman like Eliza possibly love an outlaw like me once she learns the truth?

Eliza
I’m a teacher and a mom, curvy girl and proud, but still healing from the sting of rejection. I never thought I’d find love again or attract someone as hot as Knox. He’s danger and mystery covered in tattoos and wrapped in a leather jacket. As much as I fight the pull of the bad boy, he’s determined to touch my heart along with the rest of me. He’s everything I never knew I wanted –protective and passionate, jealous even. Oh, the butterflies. But our potential romance is cut short when my ex-husband is found dead, and Knox is the prime suspect. Every instinct tells me to run, to protect my heart and my kids. Yet, I see the truth in Knox’s eyes, the honesty in his fight to clear his name and mine. I’m drawn into this mystery, not just for the sake of my own heart, but for the truth. But what do I do when the truth is darker than I could ever have imagined?

REVIEW; HARD KNOX is the first instalment in Morgan Janet Mitchell’s contemporary, adult RBMC KNOXVILLE TN slightly paranormal, erotic, MC romance series -a part of the multi-authored, sixth run RBMC series. This is elementary school teacher / single mother Eliza Martin , and RBMC Knoxville president Knox’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 (Knox and Eliza) HARD KNOX follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Knox is the president of the RBMC in Knoxville Tennessee, and a school fundraiser will bring Knox up close and personal with elementary school teacher Eliza Martin. From their first introduction, Knox finds himself pulled into the aura that is our story line heroine but Eliza is trying to keep things slow, in the face of a heart breaking past but the past refuses to let go, and Knox is about to pay the price for some else’s jealousy and obsession. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Knox and Eliza, and the potential fall-out when Knox is accused of a murder he did not commit.

The world building focuses on both the present and the past. Knox reveals his past, his current situation, and the fact that he and several members of the RBMC are not quite fully human. Eliza tries to keep her past where it belongs but the past refuses to remain in the past, and with a little help from someone Eliza once trusted, the darkness takes hold threatening everyone Eliza holds dear.

The relationship between Knox and Eliza is one of immediate attraction but Eliza must keep up appearances. She is a grade school teacher whose students and parents question Eliza’s choice of a partner, and in this, betrayal is always at the forefront of Eliza’s struggle to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several members of the RBMC:KNOXVILLE family: Sergeant at Arms Dynamite aka TNT, and Smokey: Eliza’s best friend Birdie, and Eliza’s ex Mark Martin.

HARD KNOX is a story of betrayal and vengeance, trust and misunderstanding, secrets and lies, power and control, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and enchanting but the paranormal aspect is virtually non-existent with only a small mention at the end of the book. The romance is seductive; the characters are energetic and engaging.

What happens when luck runs out and you’re left with nothing?
Lucky
I’ve always been a betting man, it’s why they call me Lucky. But lately, luck seems to be the least of my worries. Especially when it comes to my personal life. I swore to stay away, and I have, but she likes to push my buttons.

But then the pranks stop and she’s done. Something’s going on with her. We all can see she’s not the same.

Now, she’s gone home, or at least that’s what she says.
To get my lucky streak back, I’ll find out what the hell she’s up to, and when I do, I know it won’t be good.

•••••

REVIEW:LUCKY’S STREAK is the third instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S RIOT MC: TENNESSEE erotic, MC, romance series. This is Lucky and Chelsea’s story line. LUCKY’S STREAK 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 (Lucky and Chelsea) LUCKY’S STREAK follows in the aftermath of the fallout of a one-night stand between Lucky and Chelsea. Our heroine Chelsea was humiliated by the man with whom she thought she had fallen in love but in retaliation against Lucky proved more tiresome when she did not get the results she wanted, and Chelsea prepared to move on with her life but Chelsea has a secret that is about to implode, a secret that has placed a target on her back. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Chelsea and Lucky, and the potential fall-out as Chelsea struggles to trust in the face of perceived betrayal including the man whom she loves.

The relationship between Chelsea and Lucky is acrimonious at best. A one-night stand ends with Lucky ghosting our heroine, and in the ensuing aftermath Chelsea struggles to forgive and forget but threats against our story line heroine force Lucky to claim Chelsea as his own, threats that come from within and outside the club. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

Once again, we are reintroduced to several members of the Devil’s Riot MC including but not exclusive to: Storm and Blow (Blow’s Smoke 1) Nine and Meadow (Nine’s Time), Sniper and Rain, Nerd and Cara, Calyx, Scorn, and the introduced of Lucky’s brother Luka. The requisite evil has many faces.

LUCKY’S STREAK is another story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and obsession, power and control, retribution and retaliation, forgiveness and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic, gritty and twisted; the romance is edgy; the characters are animated, determined and impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 9, 2024

Yonkers was running from his past—namely, the woman who still held his heart back in Huntsville. She was off limits, and he knew it, but there was nothing he could do to make himself stop wanting Wren. It was his job to keep her safe, to help out her older brother, who happened to be one of his best friends. He broke their unspoken bro code and there would be no coming back from that. Forgiveness might be something that he could ask his friend for, but forgiving himself was a whole other matter.Wren knew that sooner or later her little secret would come out and she would have to face the music. She had seduced her brother’s friend and that wasn’t going to sit well with him. It was Blade’s fault for saddling Yonkers as her babysitter while he dealt with the trouble that seemed to plague them all. Jumping into bed with Yonkers might not have been the right call, but now, she would have to find him because, like it or not, she was pregnant with his baby and that truth always found its way out.

•••••

REVIEW: LOST IN YONKERS is the fourteenth instalment in KL Ramsey’s contemporary, adult RBMC: HUNTSVILLE CHAPTER erotic, MC romance series-a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is Yonkers aka Chris, and Wren’s story line. LOST IN YONKERS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary .

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Yonkers and Wren) LOST IN YONKERS follows in the wake of a one-night stand between our story line couple. Wren is the sister of Blade, and best friend to Blade’s girlfriend Trixie (Blade’s Christmas Ride) but when Trixie’s stalker also targeted our story line heroine, Blade ordered Yonkers to look after his sister but one night of romance ends when Yonkers is called back home to New York, leaving a heart broken Wren in his wake. Fast forward five months, Wren is pregnant, and is desperate to contact our story line hero. Arriving in New York, Wren surprises Yonkers with news about her pregnancy, news that Yonkers struggles to accept or understand. What ensues is the building relationship between Wren and Yonkers, and the potential fall-out as Yonkers continues to struggle with his relationship with Wren, and his mother’s illness that originally called him home.

The world building is fast and furious. LOST IN YONKERS introduces the RBMC: Yonkers Chapter as well as one man’s struggle with family and love.

The relationship between Chris and Wren begins as a one-night stand but Wren has lusted after Chris since the first time they met. Chris is a man who is battling between head and heart, taking care of his ailing mother, and the woman that is calling to his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate without the use of over the top ,sexually graphic language and text but saying that I felt no palpable sexual attraction between our story line couple.

The secondary and supporting characters include Blade and Trixie, as well as Yonkers, mother, and the introduction of RBMC: Yonkers president Hurricane, and Reacher.

LOST IN YONKERS is a quick read; a fast paced, short story of secrets and lies, forgiveness and acceptance, family and love. The premise is entertaining but something is missing. There is no external conflict, and the back and forth between Wren and Yonkers is stilted and cold. The romance is subtle. LOST IN YONKERS includes a couple of chapters from HURRICANE’S HOUSE, books one in the author’s spin off-RBMC: YONKERS, as well as a couple of chapters SALACIOUS, book one in the author’s new KINK CLUB series.

REVIEW:THE LOVES WE LOST is the sixth instalment in Scarlett Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, romance series. This is Iron Outlaws enforcer Miles ‘Bates’ Graydon, and MC romance author Viola Mills’ story line. THE LOVES WE LOST 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 (Miles and Viola) with a final chapter from Halo, THE LOVES WE LOST follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Approximately six years earlier, Viola struggled with Miles’ need and participation with the MC lifestyle, and walked away from the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day, Miles aka Bates will discover that Viola is now writing steamy MC romance novels, using his last name as part of her author persona. Desperate to confront the woman who broke his heart, Bates will soon discover that the life of the MC is about to threaten the life of the woman he still loves, and the daughter he knew nothing about. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Viola and Miles, and the potential fall-out when the criminal organization known as the Righteous Brotherhood takes aim at the Iron Outlaws MC, and the family Miles is so desperate to reclaim as his own.

The world building focuses on the war between the MC and the Righteous Brotherhood, who want to control the docks and the import of drugs. Seizing whatever opportunity they can to stop the organization, the MC will discover that their actions have consequences, and Viola and her daughter are next in line.

The relationship between Viola and Bates aka Miles is one of second chances: a rekindling relationship in which Viola continues to struggles with the MC lifestyle, a danger that will become front and center for her and her daughter. Miles is hoping for a second chance to start over, to know his daughter but threats from the outside take aim at our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting couples and characters, many of whom we have met in the previous story line. We are introduced to three new prospects, as well as Viola and Miles’ daughter Avery.

THE LOVES WE LOST is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are determined, dynamic and desperate.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy.

REVIEW: ROYAL RANSOM is the tenth instalment in Morgan Janet Mitchell’s contemporary,adult RBMC: NASHVILLE: TN erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is the continuing story of Beau ‘Kingpin’ Strick, and his wife/ol’ lady Eve. ROYAL RANSOM can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading books 1, 3, 4 and 7, where Eve and Kingpin’s story begins and evolves.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Eve and Kingpin) ROYAL RANSOM focuses on the preparation for Eve and Kingpin’s official wedding. Having already claimed Eve as his ol’ lady, and married her in the process, Kingpin and Eve have finally settled upon an official wedding celebration but all does not go according to plan, when during her bachelorette party, Eve disappears without a trace, and the price for her return may be too high.

ROYAL RANSOM is the culmination of several story lines, several heart breaks and betrayals, vengeance and karma. The past refuses to let go: revenge for the death of a loved one, and our heroine is targeted for sins of the past. The premise is gritty and dramatic; the characters are numerous, familiar, determined and dangerous.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 27, 2024

Hunter is not a nice man.

He is used to enjoying the fruits of married women—they are easy to leave and don’t expect any kind of relationship from him. Harlow is one of his club brother’s little sisters. She’s young, and he should stay well away from her.

Only, he doesn’t.

Harlow doesn’t know why she is drawn to Hunter. She doesn’t even like him at times, but he’s her secret crush, and not only that … she has fallen in love with him. She knows it’s a recipe for disaster, but she cannot control her feelings.

Hunter knows it’s getting serious, so there is only one thing he can do, break it off with her, and that is exactly what he does.

Devasted, alone, and in danger, Harlow knows she can never tell anyone what happened between her and Hunter. She has to deal with a broken heart. The only problem is, someone else does know, and when they make the club aware, it destroys everything. Harlow has no choice but to turn her back on the club, on her friends, and try to start a new life. Who can she trust?

For Hunter, he has realized too late that he is in love with Harlow. He wants the mouthy little vegan all to himself, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to claim her. But, will he be able to save her, or will it be too late?

REVIEW: HUNTER is the fifth instalment in Sam Crescent’s contemporary, adult HELL”S B*STARDS dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is club VP Hunter, and twenty-one year old Harlow Erickson’s story line. HUNTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Harlow is George ‘Big Dick’ Erickson’s sister.

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

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Harlow and Hunter HUNTER follows the forbidden relationship and fallout between our story line couple. For as long as she can remember, Harlow Erickson has been in love the H*ll’s B*stards VP Hunter but when Hunter discovers Harlow’s current living arrangements, Harlow finds herself at the mercy of the man who would destroy her heart. Hunter doesn’t do relationships, and a relationship with Harlow meant betraying the men he loved like brothers but an attack against Harlow, and ultimately the club, proved a potential war was inevitable with the Twisted Brothers MC. A hospital stay, a loss, and another betrayal pulled Harlow out of the club and the lives of the people she once loved, as heart break proved all together too much to bear. A new job, a new friendships and another betrayal pushes Harlow to rethink her future going forward, considering walking away from her family and friends. What ensues is the tempestuous relationship between Harlow, Hunter and her extended family, and the fallout when Harlow is targeted for sins of the club.

The world building follows several pathways including the forbidden relationship and consequences between our story couple. Pushed out and forced to walk away from the only people she had ever loved, Harlow discovers that to go it alone means to walk away without looking bac but betrayal comes with a cost, and Harlow and her friend are going to pay the price for their connection to the H*ll’s B*Stards MC.

The relationship between Harlow and Hunter begins acrimoniously as Hunter struggles between head and heart knowing a relationship with Harlow could destroy his relationship with the Club. As Harlow slowly loses her heart to our story line hero, Hunter is preparing to push Harlow out of his life. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

Several member of the H*LL’s B*stards return including Ugly Beast and Abriana, Smokey and Ava, Raven and Carlos, Larissa, Kinky, and George ‘Big Dick’ Erickson. We are introduced to Harlow’s boss Hailey, as well as Harlow’s large extended family of siblings.

HUNTER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, heart break and dissolution. The premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is limited and secretive; the characters are broken, determined and charismatic.
