ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 10, 2024

Only so much pain the mind can take before it succumbs to the beast within.

Beast

I watch her lose herself. Saw the pain she endured. No matter the help I wanted to give her, nothing will do. She’s lost to me. There’s no way she can take anymore. Nor does she need a man like me. A man who has his own demons to hold on to.

With her at the clubhouse, I need to get away, but when death comes to our door, my demons demand out. Secrets I’ve held onto are revealed and there’s only one who keeps me sane. Her. Will she be able to handle it all? Or am I left to my own demise?

My brothers can’t help. Not this time. I’m called Beast for a reason and now they all know why.

••••••

REVIEW: HOLDING BEAST is the seventh instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult SATAN’S KEEPERS MC dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is Jarrett aka ‘Beast’ and Bristol Hensley’s story line. HOLDING BEAST can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Beast and Bristol), and a final chapter from Diablo, HOLDING BEAST follows in the wake of an attack on our story line heroine that left her for dead. Eight months earlier, Bristol worked at the MC owned Keeper’s Pub, and in the aftermath of the attack Beast kept his distance believing he was not worthy of our story line heroine. Months will pass before Beast returns, and in doing so, Beast will claim Bristol as his own but all is not well in either of their lives, and connections to family and the past refuse to let go. What ensues is the building relationship between our story line couple, and the potential fall-out as secrets and lies threaten to destroy what Bristol and Beast are struggling to rebuild.

The world building follows several paths including two powerful families, organized crime, European royalty, spousal abuse, betrayal and lies. As Bristol and Beast struggle to move their relationship forward, Bristol’s mother has plans for her daughter that do not include our story line hero.

The relationship between Bristol and Beast is acrimonious at best. Secrets and lies, miscommunication and misunderstandings threaten what little relationship there is. Months apart force Beast to acknowledge his need for our story line heroine but Bristol struggles with what happened and why. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and questionable secondary and supporting characters including the members of the Satan’s Keepers MC and their wives. We are introduced to extended family including Beast’s brother Everett; and Bristol’s brother Ben, their sister Giselle, and father Quinten Hensley. The requisite evil has many faces.

HOLDING BEAST is a story of betrayal and vengeance, greed and obsession, jealousy and money, family and relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and provocative; the character are desperate, determined and dynamic.

THE BEAST (Gypsy Bastards MC 4) by Jade Marshall-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 16, 2024

When life gives you lemons, grab some tequila.

I won’t let a man hold me back or rule my life. I am an independent woman and when things spiral out of control I don’t have to sit here crying. Instead, I take a trip to visit my friends Kaiya and Storm in Gypsy Falls.

What I never expected is to find what I have been missing my entire life.

The men of the Gypsy Bastards MC are not what I was expecting, and I quickly find myself falling into their rag-tag family.

Now, I only hope I can keep them.

••••••

REVIEW: THE BEAST is the fourth instalment in Jade Marshall’s contemporary, adult, GYPSY B*STARDS dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is Kelly aka Beast, and Irene’s story line. THE BEAST 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. There is a slight cross over with the characters from the author’s Cammareri series.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Irene and Beast) THE BEAST follows in the wake of the assault against our story line heroine. Packing up, moving out, Irene heads to her friend in Gypsy Falls, where she will meet her future in the guise of MC member Beast. From the outset, Irene is an independent woman who is struggling to ask or accept any help including from the man with whom Irene will fall in love. Beast’s attraction to Irene is immediate and intense but Irene’s issues of trust have built an impenetrable wall that even Beast struggles to climb or overcome. When Irene’s past returns, the Gypsy B*stards claim Irene as their own, and our heroine will find her happily ever after with our story line hero. What ensues is the building relationship between our story line couple, and the potential fall out as Irene’s need for independence threatens her own safety and the safety of everyone involved.

The world building focuses on Beast’s need to claim the woman with whom he is falling in love, and Irene’s determination to remain independent and strong but all does not go according to plan when the past refuses to let go, targeting our story line heroine.

The relationship between Beast and Irene begins as acquaintance and friends when Irene seeks shelter with the Gypsy B*stards MC. Beast sees something, suspects all is not well in Irene’s life, and our hero is determined to prove he is worthy of her love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate .

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in previous instalments: Club president Pope and Storm; Wolf and Hadley, the return of Sparrow; Viking, Doc, Mad Dog and Kaiya, Justice, Trinity, as well as Severu, Alceu and Preacher (Cammareri series).

THE BEAST is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, madness and obsession, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and intense; the romance guarded yet building; the characters are desperate and animated. THE BEAST ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

LOVIN’ OPRY (RBMC: Nashville TN 9) by Morgan Jane Mitchell -review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 30, 2024

I’m Leo, just nineteen. I ain’t got nobody or nothin’, except for the skin I’m in and the moves I make on the pole at the Royal Bastards MC clubhouse, Royal Road. My life’s all about neon lights, body glitter, and dreams that spin ’round fast. But everything gets twisted when I start catchin’ feelings for Opry, my boss – the tatted up, cowboy-hat-wearing biker twice my age.Me and Opry? We ain’t your typical couple. It’s a “situationship”, like twerking to a steel guitar- seems all wrong but feels so right. A dom with a taste for a world of kink, the biker’s as tough and tantalizing as an unsolved mystery. And boy, has he got commitment issues.

Lovin’ Opry’s a tough ride, but this gal right here is all about the thrill.The catch? He doesn’t vibe with me outside our shared bedroom. Our convos are like tryna blend country twang with a hip-hop beat. When he starts acting all distant, like he’s losin’ interest, I hit the road. I thought I could just peace out, leave the cowboy in my rearview. Thought I could ghost the biker who’s little bark and all bite.I should have known better.

Name’s Opry. Got this young firecracker, Leo, lightin’ up our stage, movin’ like a wild storm under the club lights. The little filly gets under my skin, makes a home there, and just when I think I got a handle on things, it all goes to hell. I’ve been around, seen things that’d make most men quake, and it’s hardened me. I’ve ridden with the reaper, stared down danger more times than I can count, but the depth of my feelings for Leo? Terrifying.She senses me pullin’ away, and just like that, she’s gone. Thought I could let her go, let her become a memory, drowned out by the rumble of this fast life. But once her laughter stops echoing through my clubhouse, I’m punched with a hurt worse than a busted rib – I miss the hell out of my little dancer.Come New Year’s Eve, I know I gotta get her back. Don’t matter what it takes, I gotta make it right, bring her back into my world, our world. Whether she likes it or not.

REVIEW: LOVIN’ OPRY is the ninth instalment in Morgan Jane Mitchell’s contemporary, adult RBMC: NASHVILLE TN dark, erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is nineteen year old, dancer Leonora ‘Leo’ Wynburn, and forty year old, biker/ club manager Tripp ‘Opry’ Tanner. LOVIN’ OPRY 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 scenes of BDSM, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers .

Some of the event cross over with and run parallel to the events of the previous five instalment.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Opry and Leo) LOVIN’ OPRY focuses on the relationship between our story line couple. Leo is in debt to the mob but in an effort to break free, she finds herself working at a dance club owned by the RBMC: Nashville. Finding herself under the protection of MC member Opry was nothing like Leo could have ever imagined when Opry demanded her complete submission, and letting her know he didn’t do hearts and flowers. Opry doesn’t do relationships, and our heroine had been warned many times but Leo was about to lose her heart to a man who wanted nothing more. Watching everyone else move on with their lives, Leo knew it was only a matter of time before she would have to move on, alone. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Opry and Leo, and the potential fall-out as Leo finds herself wondering where everything went wrong.

The world building focuses on the unconventional relationship between our story line couple. Opry only wants a Dom/sub relationship as well as Leo’s complete submission both inside and outside of the house, and he will offer his protection but nothing more. Leo deserves to be loved but Opry refuses to accept anything beyond the present, and a despondent and desperate Leo believes it is her time to move on. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative with scenes of BDSM. Opry’s need to remain in control, and his struggle with their differences in age, leaves our heroine broken, looking for something more.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including Leo’s cousin Sky (Royal Surprise 4), MC president Kingpin, as well as several other members of the RBMC: Nashville, their significant others, dancers and the mob.

LOVIN’ OPRY is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, family, relationships and friendships. The premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is limited as Opry struggles to feel anything but domination; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

LAST CHANCE AT LOVE by DM Earl

Not believing in such a thing as good luck since his life has always sucked, Slick takes one more chance at love. The one thing that’s holding him back from being one hundred percent in, is his past, especially his dark part in it. To clear the road to redemption you have to want to face your demons. And Slick has plenty he doesn’t want to introduce Lucy or Atlas in regard to his past life though if he wants a future with them both it’s definitely time to suck it up and make amends

••••••

REVIEW: LAST CHANCE AT LOVE by DM Earl is a novella set in the author’s GRIMM WOLVES MC series, and a part of the multi-authored anthology BIKER IN MY BED. This is Slick aka Cletus Jennings, and stripper/housecleaner / single mother Lucy’s aka Cashmere story line. Cletus Jennings first appeared in TAZ, book three of the DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC series.

NOTE: If you have not read TAZ, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cletus and Lucy) LAST CHANCE AT LOVE focuses on Cletus aka Slick’s need to apologize for sins of the past involving his ex Raquel ‘Taz’ Smith and the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. As a former member of a white-supremacist group Cletus Jennings destroyed many lives including the life of the woman he once loved but in an effort to prove he is a changed man, and worthy of Lucy’s love, Cletus offers up some information, that will likely put a target on his back. Apologies for the damaged he caused threatens to break his tenuous hold on the who holds his heart.

The world building reveals a little bit about the past including some of the events that would set Cletus towards a different path. For a better understanding, I recommend reading TAZ (Devil’s Handmaidens MC) as the premise of LAST CHANCE AT LOVE are predicated upon the events of TAZ.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Grimm Wolves MC, and cameos from Enforcer and Taz.

LAST CHANCE AT LOVE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and forgiveness, understanding and love. The fast paced premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance struggles in the face of reality and the truth; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.

•••••••

REVIEW: FOREVER KIND OF LOVE by KE Osborn is a novella set in the author’s NOLA DEFIANCE MC series, and a part of the multi-authored BIKER IN MY BED anthology.

We are introduced to several members of the Oahu Defiance MC, as well as their president’s daughter Nalani who found herself involved with a Chinese gang known as The Ministry.

FOREVER KIND OF LOVE is a story of family and friendships, betrayal and power, forgiveness and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the ongoing romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are familiar and determined.

ROYAL: I’m a loyal member of the Demented Sons MC. Other than my little sister they’re the only family I need. After the way my ex cheated,I’d rather chew off my own arm than get in another relationship. He//, I moved back to Texas to get away from that disaster. Hookups were my new game plan. Except I wasn’t expecting to meet her-especially in the middle of a deadly threat to my brothers. Someone was making sport of my club members and I became their next target.

•••••••

REVIEW: LOVE BITES by Kristine Allen is a novella found in the author’s DEMENTED SONS MC: TEXAS, and a part of the multi-authored BIKER IN MY BED anthology. This is twenty-nine year old former US solider/ mechanic Max ‘Royal ‘ Windsor, and Luna Levine’s story line.

One night with Luna was all it took but a Thanksgiving dinner with the club would reveal a few secrets that were never supposed to be exposed.

The relationship between Luna and Royal begins as a matchup that will quickly turn into something more but Luna is good at keeping secrets, and her biggest secret may threaten the people she loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are reintroduced to several member of the DEMENTED SONS MC: TEXAS as well as Royal’s sister Lacie, and Luna’s father.

LOVE BITES is a story of secrets and lies, obsession and want, family and friendships. The fast paced premise is captivating and engaging reading like the prequel to Luna and Royal’s story; the romance is limited; the characters are desperate and determined. LOVE BITES ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 31, 2024

The Devil owns Reaper’s Vale.
He’s the president of a notorious motorcycle club that rules with an iron fist.
No one dares to stand in his way. Until I do.
Three merciless bikers show up at my workplace and demand answers.
They think my family stole from them.
We didn’t, and I won’t be bullied.
When I’m taken prisoner as collateral and held against my will, I swear I’ll find a way to escape.
I’ve heard the rumors about this club.
Ruthless men on their steel beasts who ride through the vale without reprisal.
Liars. Murderers. Thieves. Some worship them. Others fear them.

I expected to lose my freedom, just not . . . my heart.
And now it’s too late.
My past collides with the present, revealing shocking secrets and endangering the ones I love.
I’ll do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means betraying the bikers I no longer hate.
My twisted need for justice won’t be silenced.
I’m going to burn every tainted memory along with the bastards that hurt me.
But my iron riders won’t let me fight alone.
They’re willing to risk war, their club, and their hearts to ensure our enemies go to ground and nothing is left but ashes.

TWISTED IRON is a reverse harem, why choose, dark, motorcycle club romance with one feisty, bada** heroine, her three dirty-talkin’, twisted outlaws, and a romantic, suspenseful, slightly paranormal adventure. This wild ride contains cursing, violence, sexual situations, torture/revenge, and adult themes that may be triggering for some readers. It is a crossover novel set in the Royal Bastards MC Tonopah/Las Vegas, NV world.

•••••••

REVIEW:TWISTED IRON by Nikki Landis is a contemporary, adult,reverse harem, dark, paranormal, MC romance story line -a crossover with the RBMC Tonopah, and RBMC Las Vegas series. TWISTED IRON is the introduction to Henry and Raiden, Reaper and Devil’s story.

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

TWISTED IRON was originally released as JUSTIFIED in 2022, but has been re-written, revised and expanded for a new audience.

Told from four first person perspectives (Henny, Raiden, Reaper and Devil) TWISTED IRON focuses on the take down of a cult, a child trafficking ring. When the RBMC come looking for information, Henriette aka Henny will offer herself up a collateral, in the hopes her friend will hand the information to the RBMC but days together find Henny falling for her captors, three men with special abilities, and powers she could not have imagined. What ensues is the building and aggressive relationship between Henny and Raiden, Reaper and Devil, and the potential fall-out as Henny is targeted by the demons from her past.

The world building focuses on the search for information, and the take down of the cult / Order known as The Sect of Primordial Light. Not only do several members of the RBMC have dark memories but so too does our story line heroine.

The relationship between Henny and the men begins as a sacrifice, of sorts. The men are looking for a package, information about the who, how and why, but when no one is willing to reveal the truth, Henny offers herself up as prisoner in exchange for the life of her friend. Within day, Henny realizes the trio are more than your average men but men with special abilities that she is learning to see through. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense but there are no scenes with all four together.

The secondary and supporting characters include several member of both the RBMC Tonopah, and Las Vegas chapter, as well as Henny’s friend Amelia. The requisite evil has many faces.

TWISTED IRON is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance, love and the supernatural. The premise is dramatic and dark; the characters are powerful yet broken; the romance is desperate and gritty. TWISTED IRON ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

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!

Love Grudge (Angels and Devils MC 1) by Chantal Fernando-review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 26, 2023

Romeo

I was born to rule the Devils MC. Every decision, every move I made was to further that goal—until I met Julianna. Falling in love with the granddaughter of the man who ripped our club apart was not in the cards, especially not now, when it’s finally time for me to take over as president. Duty to the MC comes first, but that battle cry feels empty when it means giving up the woman I love.

Julianna

My greatest sin was being born a woman. I’ve proven my worthiness in spades, but my father still won’t let me lead the Angels MC on my own. I’m nothing but his pawn, to be sold off to the successor of his choice. He wants me to fall in line, give up Romeo and keep the peace, but my loyalty comes with a price.

I’ll fight for what I want, even if it means going to war.

•••••

REVIEW:LOVE GRUDGE is the first instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult ANGELS AND DEVILS dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is the new Devils MC president Johnny ‘Romeo’ Montanna, and Angels MC princess Julianna Callistos’ story line, a modern day Romeo and Juliet retelling.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Romeo and Julianna) LOVE GRUDGE follows the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Johnny ‘Romeo’ Montanna is about to step up to the mantle of the Devils MC president, a position long held by the first born sons in his family but Romeo never thought he would meet his Juliet in Julianna Callistos, the only child and daughter of Angels MC president Paulie Callistos, and the Devils MC closest enemy. As a woman, Julianna is unable to assume the position as president, and she has been betrothed to a man she does not love. Falling in love with the enemy means a potential war on the horizon, a war that has been building for many years. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Julianna and Romeo, and the potential fall-out as both MCs must come to terms with sins of the past.

The world building reveals the backstory and hatred between the Devils MC and the Angels MC. Once a single entity, love and threats of destruction broke apart the MC, and in the years to follow, a cool détente ensued.

The relationship between Julianna and Romeo begins by accident. A funeral, a broken-down car, and our couple found themselves caught in the pull of attraction and love. Knowing Julianna was promised to another man, Romeo is determined to claim our heroine as his own but in doing so set into motion a potential war. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are introduced to several members of both the Devils MC And the Angels MC including family, friends, and enemies. Not everyone will survive.

LOVE GRUDGE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and murder, acceptance and love The premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is seductive and fated the characters are determined and charismatic.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Grave Robber and Aubrey) GRAVE ROBBER follows Aubrey Baldwin as she digs for information about a dirty politician but Aubrey never expected to come face to face with the Twister Brotherhood MC, a group of men possibly on the take with the assistant mayor Joseph Yates but all is not as it seems when Aubrey will discovers Yates’ ties to the MC are deadly and dark. Enter MC president Grave Robber Carter, the man with whom Aubrey will fall in love. What ensues is the building but reluctant relationship between Aubrey and Grave Robber, and the potential fall-out as our heroine is targeted by the man who destroyed Grave Robber’s life.

The world building reveals the horrendous loss of Grave Robber’s wife and child, a loss he blames on a corrupt politician. Vowing never to ever again fall in love, Grave Robber is blindsided with the appearance of journalist Aubrey Baldwin, the woman who would break through the wall of ice surrounding his heart but Aubrey is about to push all of Grave Robber’s button, placing herself in the direct line of fire, at every opportunity

The relationship between Aubrey and Grave Robber begins as a one-night stand. Weeks later, Aubrey returns with unexpected and unwanted news, and finds herself a reluctant victim of Grave Robber’s ire. Grave Robber wants nothing to do with love or family-been there, lost that- but something about Aubrey draws Grave Robber in. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to several members of the Twisted Brotherhood MC, an MC of former US military veterans: Bone, Knuckles, Joker, LD, Huck and his old lady Lana; several members of the Redwood Rebels MC including Jules Gasparovich; assistant Mayor Joseph Yates, and Napa Valley millionaire Grant Lodge. The requisite evil has many faces.

GRAVE ROBBER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and revenge, power and control, acceptance and love, forgiveness and moving forward. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic but our heroine is often TSTL, placing herself and the members of the Twisted Brotherhood in a precarious position.
