ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2023

She’s the one thing I want more than anything else, and I’ll have her, no matter the cost.

Aesir

Our club has been knocking down one enemy after the next, and soon enough, we might be able to finally live in peace.
At least, that’s what we’re all hoping for. I, on the other hand, know that any peace we have will be short-lived. There’s always someone else lurking around the corner, waiting to cause problems.

The club is hunting Roque down like the rabid dog he is, and after that, Dag asks for help tracking down his abusive former stepfather. A few weeks ago, his mother and sister were attacked by him after his prison release, so they’ve been staying at the club while Loren can’t be located.

There is never a dull moment in the club, but even with all of the chaos, there is one woman who demands my attention—Aziza.

She’s one of Magnolia’s closest friends and occasionally works with her. She’s also someone I’ve been sleeping with casually for the last few months whenever she’s broken up with her deadbeat boyfriend who doesn’t deserve her.

I told Aziza I’m not continuing anything unless she’s done with Tyler, and she tells me she is, but I know better. He might treat her like crap, but the man is her first love, and she has a soft spot for him.

Even so, I’ll do anything I need to have her as mine. I don’t care what I need to do, but I am going to sabotage his efforts.
Aziza will be mine.

•••••

REVIEW:SABOTAGE is the eight instalment in Elizabeth Knox’ contemporary adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Aesir and Aziza’s story line. SABOTAGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information form 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 (Aesir and Aziza) SABOTAGE follows the building relationship between our story line couple. As the Raiders of Valhalla continue to work on prior issues, and the take down of the people who have taken aim at their members and family, Aesir is determined to claim Aziza as his own but Aziza’s on-again, off-again history with her ex Tyler, threatens any long term happiness or forever for our story line couple. Tired of Tyler’s constant betrayals, Aziza proclaims her love for Aesir but Tyler refuses to quietly walk away. What ensues is the romance and relationship between Aesir and Aziza, and the potential fall-out as Tyler becomes a problem for the woman Aesir loves.

The world building follows several paths including Aziza’s foray into owning her own business. A baker by trade, Aziza get the opportunity to work alongside her friend and fellow old lady Magnolia but at every turn Aziza’s ex make his presence known. Meanwhile, the Raiders of Valhalla MC must continue to clean up and take down those who use their power to destroy, and in doing so, take down the people who have betrayed the ones whom they love.

The relationship between Aesir and Aziza is one of second, third, fourth chances, of a sorts. Every time Aziza breaks up with Tyler, she runs to Aesir for companionship and strength but both Aziza and Aesir are tired of the back and forth, and Aesir is willing to walk away, one final time. 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 and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including Aziza’s new bestie Magnolia, and several members of the Raiders of Valhalla MC.The requisite evil has many faces.

SABOTAGE is a story of power and control, obsession and madness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is thought provoking and compelling; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are determined, driven and strong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 15, 2023

All’s fair in love and war, or so they say. Sometimes you have to play dirty to win.
Kevlar
Never thought of myself wanting one woman. But there she is, and she’s unlike any other. I had her in my bed once, but then I screwed up. She’s stubborn and refuses to listen to reason.
She’s also a fighter.
When things happen and I find she’s not exactly who she claims to be, I have to make things right before it’s too late. Even if it means getting down and dirty to do it.
I’ve no problem getting bloody if it means she survives what’s to come.

•••••

REVIEW: FIGHTING ROSEMARY is the first instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S RIOT MC: MISSISSIPPI erotic, MC romance series, and instalment fifteen in the author’s Devil’s Riot MC: Originals world. This is SAA Calvin ‘Kevlar’ Bell, and underground fighter Rosemary’s second chance story line. FIGHTING ROSEMARY can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading VIPER’S TOUCH.

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

Told from several first person perspectives including Kevlar and Rosemary FIGHTING ROSEMARY follows the search and rescue of our story line heroine. Rosemary is an underground fighter who has been missing for several months but Kevlar and the Devil’s Riot MC were unaware of Rosemary’s disappearance, until her best friend reveals something is wrong.The arrival of Rosemary’s brother Cobra, and father Big, members of the Reckless Souls MC set a plan into motion that will reveal a long standing betrayal by someone they know. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Rosemary and Kevlar, and the potential fall-out as Rosemary struggles with Kevlar’s intentions, and the pain of what happened and why.

The world building focuses on the rescue of Rosemary, and the second chance between our story line couple. Following a one-night stand together Kevlar ghosted our story line heroine, and in the ensuing time Kevlar never forgot the woman who had stolen her heart. Upon her rescue, Kevlar will claim Rosemary as his own, something our heroine refuses to accept.

The relationship between Rosemary and Kevlar is that of second chances. Rosemary’s has suffered at the hands of her captor, forced to fight to save her life but Rosemary has a secret, a secret that keeps her fighting for the lives of everyone else. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic, lively and aggressive secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Devil’s Riot MC, Reckless Souls MC (Cobra and Big), and those hunting and using our story line heroine. We are reintroduced to Viper and Jade (Viper’s Touch), Vulture, Cyprus, and Aries. The requisite evil has many faces.

FIGHTING ROSEMARY is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 10, 2023

Rage

Getting sent to Manchester feels like a punishment. I’m the new kid in the club and trying to prove to my brothers that I’m worthy of their loyalty comes at a cost. As the war with the Pioneers heats up, lines are crossed to survive. Everything is going to plan until a chance encounter puts her in my path.

Skye

Growing up I knew my father was deadly, but when he drags my childhood friend into his war with a motorcycle club, I know I need to escape before it’s too late for me. A nameless stranger in a bar catches me at a weak moment. He’s gorgeous, and I’m instantly drawn to him, but it’s an encounter with devastating consequences. Two lines on a pregnancy test are bad enough, but then I discover his identity and I realise how much danger I’m truly in.This is the first part of a duet for Rage and Skye’s story. It ends on a cliffhanger and the story will continue in the next book in the series.

•••••••

REVIEW: RAGE is the sixth instalment in Jessica Ames’s contemporary, adult MANCHESTER CHAPTER: UNTAMED SONS MC dark, erotic, MC romance. This is part one of nineteen year old, Beau aka Rage, and eighteen year old, Skye Richardson’s story. RAGE 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 (Rage and Skye) RAGE follows in the wake of one of their own seeking revenge against the group known as the Pioneers. With a target on their backs, Rage, a member of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons MC is sent on a job where he will meet a young woman, and six weeks later, will come face to face with his future in the guise of a pregnant Skye Richardson but all is not well in the lives of the Untamed Sons MC, and the ongoing war with the Pioneers is about to come home. As their brother continues his rampage and obsession with revenge, the possibility of a dark betrayal is about to threaten Rage and the woman he will call his own. What ensues is the ongoing to search for one of their own, as the club must deal with a perceived betrayal at home, and a murderous rampage from all sides.

The world building follows two intersecting paths. Skye Richardson is a crime lord’s daughter but is not totally unaware of the business of which her father partakes but saying that Skye will discover betrayal comes at a cost, and her live is about to become a lot more complicated. Meanwhile, Rage, whose earlier years have moulded our anti-hero into the killing machine he is today, a killer who has earned his name in the wake of his need to protect the people he loves.

The relationship between Skye and Rage is that of a one-night stand. Rage was on assignment, and Skye was nothing more than a one-night stand. Skye Richardson was on the run from her father, and with her best friend by her side, our heroine would discover the true meaning of betrayal and a knife to the back. The lone $ex scene is fast and furious.

The numerous secondary and supporting characters are familiar, desperate and dynamic including several members from both the Birmingham and Manchester Untamed Sons MC, as well as the introduction of Skye’s father Desmond Richardson, Skye’s best friends Tommy and Scarlett. The requisite evil has many faces.

RAGE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder and retribution, madness and mayhem, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is gritty, intense and dramatic; the characters are determined and broken; the romance is non-existent as our couple have only spent a few minutes together. RAGE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned

Genre: adult, contemporary, dark, erotic, MC romance

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

Release Date December 8, 2023

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Skye

Pregnant and in the hands of my enemies, I have no choice but to hope the father of my baby will protect me. I should have known that nothing in my life is ever simple. Rage is furious when he learns the truth about who I really am and his club isn’t prepared to let me go. I am a prisoner in place I thought could offer me safety, with a man who makes me want things I shouldn’t and there is no escape for me.

Rage

I messed up. I put a baby in the daughter of the man who is trying to wipe out my brothers and my club. I’m torn between throttling her and sinking into her warmth. All I know is that while she’s carrying my kid, no one is going to harm a hair on her head, but protecting her will not be an easy task. Skye is a target for both sides of this war, and the danger is closing in. The feelings I have for her are wrong, but she’s mine and I will destroy anyone who tries to harm her or my child.

•••••••

REVIEW:SKYE is the seventh instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult MANCHESTER CHAPTER: UNTAMED SONS MC dark, erotic, MC series, and part two in the Skye and Rage duet. This is the continuing story of nineteen year old, Rage aka Beau, and eighteen year old, Skye Richardson’s story line. SKYE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book six RAGE.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rage and Skye) and one chapter from Terror, SKYE follows in the aftermath of the arrival of Skye Richardson at the Manchester Chapter: Untamed Sons MC club house. Skye is pregnant following a one-night stand with Rage, but the Untamed Sons are at war with the group known as the Pioneers, and Skye will be targeted by both sides. Skye is an unknown but her connections to the Pioneers threatens the peace and survival of every member of the MC, and our heroine is about to become fodder in a war not of her making. Meanwhile, Rage struggles with his place within the Untamed Sons MC, always feeling like a temporary member, not wanted or belonging. When Skye is targeted by more than one potential threat, her life hangs in the balance, as does the life of their unborn child. What ensues is the building relationship between Rage and Skye, and the potential fall-out as our couple struggle to keep everything under control.

The world building follows several interconnected pathways: one of revenge, one of betrayal, one of obsession and one of growing love. Skye will become the target of more than one enemy, enemies that were once considered family and friends. As Skye and Rage’s relationship begins to build, their shot at a happily ever after will be stolen, and the lives threatened.

The relationship between Skye and Rage began as a one-night stand. Imprisoned by her father, betrayed by her two best friends, Skye escapes to discover that Untamed Sons MC considers her a plant, a mole to take them down. Falling in love with Skye meant making himself vulnerable to a broken heart but watching the woman he loved destroyed by the people she once trusted meant destroying the people who hurt her the most. The $ex scenes are aggressive, intimate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, dangerous and dynamic secondary and supporting characters. Friends will become enemies, members will take sides, lives will be threatened in the name of control.

SKYE is a dark and gritty story of madness, revenge, betrayal and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is provocative; the characters are broken, desperate, determined and charismatic.

Please note the TW, some scenes may be upsetting.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 21, 2023

She’s as fierce and fearless as they come…

Being pulled back in is the absolute last thing that I want,
Or need.
After all, the demons and horrors of back then nearly destroyed me,
Broke me,
And killed me.

But my friend needs me,
She needs out,
Away from the trafficking and prostitution,
An escape I know all too well.

The Devil Handmaidens are always on my side,
Supporting me,
Trusting me,
And protecting me.

I just need one more person on my side,
The strongest, bravest man I know,
The one who shattered my heart,
Left me high and dry.
Can I rely on Ironside,
Or will he break me all over again?

•••••••

REVIEW:VIXEN is the fourth instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-GHOST MONTANA dark, erotic, MC romance series a spin off from the author’s GRIMM WOLVES series/ and interconnected with the multi-authored SALVATION SOCIETY series. This is former undercover FBI agent Lucas ‘Ironsides’ Dombranski, and Mira aka Vixen’s story line. VIXEN 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 WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Lucas and Vixen, VIXEN focuses on the rescue of several woman kidnapped and used by a human trafficking ring. Several years earlier Mira aka Vixen was a victim of a human trafficking ring, used and abused along with several other women. Five years ago, Vixen’s life imploded but not before meeting undercover FBI agent Lucas Dombranski, a man she struggles to forget or forgive. Fast forward to present day, Vixen receives an emergency call, several women are in need of help, and with the assistance of Lucas Dombranski, the Grimm Wolves MC, the Intruder MC, and her sisters in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, a plan is set into motion to rescue those most vulnerable, leaving no one behind. Meanwhile, Vixen continues to be the target of the man who destroyed her life, and Lucas declares himself guardian and protector of the woman he loves. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Lucas and Vixen, and the potential fall-out as Mira struggles to let go of the past, a past that is about to come full circle.

The world building continues to focus on the powerful and kicka$$ women of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. Along with their significant others, several of whom are members of the Intruders MC, and the Grimm Wolves MC, the Devil’s Handmaidens prove they are worthy of their names, determined to destroy those targeting the most vulnerable of society.

The relationship between Lucas and Vixen is tempestuous at best. Vixen blames Lucas for abandoning her five years earlier, abandoning her to the abuse and trauma of her violent captors. Having lost everything and more, Vixen struggled to move forward, only to realize there is more to the story than she could have ever imagined. As Lucas slowly seduces the woman he loves, Vixen is desperate to save the people she left behind. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and impassioned secondary and supporting characters, many of whom figure prominently throughout the story using first person perspective. At times, the number of characters and names felt overwhelming as the author continued to pull in members from other MCs.

VIXEN is a story of power and control, abuse and trauma, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, gritty, haunting and heart breaking; the characters are broken, desperate, and dynamic; the romance is emotional and provocative.

Heed my trigger warning-they are graphic and dark.

Rae
When Uther “King” Hills, president of the Iron Outlaws MC, shows up at my home, I know it’s for one thing.
Revenge.
My life for my brother’s, a traitor to the club.
My sacrifice to ensure his loyalty.
But I know a thing or two about tragic kings.
They never win.
What I didn’t know was how they can steal your heart in the process of trying.

King
Rae Miller is my enemy’s little sister.
And I intend to ruin her before I toss her back at her brother’s feet.
Even as my actions tear my club apart.
Except this Shakespeare-quoting fire-cracker has me seeing ghosts.
I don’t scare her. She outwits me at every turn and has a body I can’t get enough of.
The fact I want to kill every person who ever hurt her is irrelevant.

Only, when she’s at risk because of me, I pray the bonds I’ve broken can mend themselves. Because without my club, we don’t have a hope of surviving.

REVIEW:THE BONDS WE BREAK is the fourth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC dark,erotic, MC romance series. This is club president Uther ‘King’ Hills, and therapist Rae Miller’s story line. THE BONDS WE BREAK can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book three THE LIES WE TELL. Rae is Ryker ‘Saint’ Miller’s sister.

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

IMPORTANT: If you have not read THE LIES WE TELL there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (King and Rae) THE BONDS WE BREAK picks up after /crosses over with some of the events of THE LIES WE TELL. Ryker ‘Saint’ Miller has been labelled a betrayer, a traitor to the Iron Outlaws MC, and he is about suffer for who he was, and what he did but King is not satisfied with the outcome, the vote by his brothers, and his inability to get the revenge he so desperately needs so he sets his sights on Saint’s sister Rae Miller, the woman with whom King will fall in love. All does not go according to plan when Rae, with her ability to reason with and understand the mind of a broken man, acquiesces to King’s demands, demands that push our couple together but King does not want to pull Rae into the life of the club, and walks away from the woman he loves. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between King and Rae, and the potential fall-out when the club is targeted, and King is caught in the line of fire.

The world building continues to focus on the impending war between the Iron Outlaws MC and the Righteous Brotherhood, a group who have been targeting the club ol’ ladies, and the president of the Iron Outlaws MC. King, along with several members of the MC, want their proverbial pound of flesh but a vote against sends King into a spiral, demanding his vengeance from our story line heroine.

The relationship between King and Rae begins acrimoniously when King kidnaps Rae with the intent of blackmail and revenge. King wants to hurt Saint by using his sister but King quickly is outfoxed and emotionally overpowered by our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the previous story line couples: Saint and Briar, Gwen and Clutch, Iris and Spark; established couple Tessa And Track, as well as Nico, Halo and Switch. Not everyone is happy with the decision to ‘save’ Ryker Miller, and allegiances will be divided amongst the once-tight brothers. Nico’s story line is next.

THE BONDS WE BREAK is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and anger, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is heart breaking, dark, and tragic; the romance is twisted and dramatic; the characters are broken, desperate and edgy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 7, 2023

She’s a part of me.

Even though I don’t know her name.
The woman I’ve been exchanging letters with and developed feelings for over the past six years.

But I can’t help feeling torn in two when I’m suddenly pulled toward another. Maxxy, the club’s horticulturalist, is strong and sassy, giving me so much lip the aggravation is exasperating.

She infuriates me.
She ignites me.
The problem is—the woman illuminates me.

But what about my pen pal?

When old rivals of the club surface and an attack becomes life-threatening, a chance meeting could escalate tensions.
Though it’s not the club’s only problem, a blast from Maxxy’s past could jeopardize a new alliance—and Maxxy’s right in the firing line.
There’s something I’m missing. It’s right in front of me.
Can I solve the puzzle before I lose everything?

••••

REVIEW:FIXATE is the sixth instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult NOLA Defiance MC dark, erotic, MC romance series . This is Nico ‘Hoodoo’ Kincaid, and horticulturalist Maxine ‘Maxxy’s story line. FIXATE can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hoodoo and Maxxy) FIXATE follows the building but acrimonious relationship between Nico ‘Hoodoo’ Kincaid, and Maxxy. Maxxy is the NOLA Defiance MC horticulturalist; she is in charge of their grow-op and processing operation but the past is about to descend upon our story line couple. Maxxy is in desperate need of additional help, and the help that ‘volunteers’ is about to bring more trouble for our story line couple. Not only does a current enemy target the MC, but Maxxy’s past is looking for vengeance for a perceived betrayal. As the attacks against the club become personal, Maxxy and Hoodoo will discover another connection between the story line couple. What ensues is the building relationship between Maxxy and Hoodoo, and the potential fall-out vengeance turns deadly threatening everything and everyone connected to Hoodoo and Maxxy.

The world building continues to focus on the life of the NOLA Defiance MC. The lives, the loves, the illegal and legal business connections, as well as the threats and enemies that do not stop. Maxxy and Hoodoo have butted heads throughout most of the series, both preferring to remain connected to their respective ‘pen pals’, people they have never met but people with whom they are falling in love.

The relationship between Maxxy and Hoodoo begins acrimoniously. Hoodoo has been struggling with the fall-out of an attack years before, and Maxxy is about to face the wrath of someone from her past. As Maxxy and Hoodoo are forced to worth together in the lab, our couple will find themselves circling one another, acting on their mutual attraction. The $ex scenes are provocative and erotic with some light scenes of spanking.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have me in the previous story lines. We are introduced to several members of the Bachelors, an exclusive men-only underground criminal elite club who are about to cause more problems for the NOLA Defiance MC. Foes become enemies, enemies turn deadly, and trust has been misplaced for the struggling MC.

FIXATE is a story of violence and murder, betrayal and vengeance, family and friendships, loss and love.The slow building premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is steamy and hot; the characters are desperate, determined and struggling.

She never dreamed her salvation would come from a man on a black motorcycle who wears a MC patch.

Charlie
The only thing I was sure of was people lied. They would say they loved you, but their fists would tell a different story. I had to leave, to run before he killed me.
When the enigmatic stranger I met once in a run-down diner finds me escaping, he takes the matter in his hands and gives my ex a taste of his own cruel medicine. A decision that cost my unlikely savior six years of his life.
I never forgot his warm touch, or the way I felt safe with him for a brief moment before I ran for my life.
Imagine my surprise when half a decade later our paths collide unexpectedly, and I discover he’s part of a powerful MC with ties to my vengeful ex.

Linc
I couldn’t walk away then, and nothing can make me now.
After losing my freedom for helping the beaten girl I found on the side of the road, I was determined to let her go. The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine.
I never imagined I’d see her again, but fate had other plans. Now, she needs my protection more than ever. But this time around, she’s keeping secrets that could get her killed. And it isn’t only her ex who’s on the hunt for what she’s desperately trying to hide.

If this scared girl from my past can’t find a way to trust me with the truth, then it will be more than just her life that’s at stake.

REVIEW:Linc by Kate Randall is the first in what I hope to be a very long MC series. Linc is a slow burn, MC romance with men that aren’t always the good guys. Linc and Charlie were so good to read!

When Charlie is first introduced in this book, I felt for her so much. First her abusive father, then her abusive ex, she just didn’t have the best of luck. Lincoln aka Linc is a member of the Black Roses MMC, it’s the lifestyle that fits him best. When he and his MC brothers meet Charlie for the first time, it’s clear that she is abused and broken. Something about Charlie calls to Linc, a call that lands him in jail for six years. Charlie is destroyed when she learns what happened to Lincoln, no one ever protected her the way he did. No one made her feel safe.

Fast forward six years and Charlie is on the run, never staying aware for long, she can’t risk her ex finding her ever again. Some of the best reading moments are with Charlie and her bestie Lucy, neither of them trust people easily so their bond together is beautiful. When Linc and Charlie meet again after his imprisonment, it’s awkward to say the least, but the draw they had all those years is still there and stronger than ever.

For a first time reader of this author, I am hooked! MC romances can sometimes be overly…aggressive, but Kate Randall has a gift with words. Linc and Charlie are so amazing together, the plot is easy to keep up with but suspenseful enough to keep the reader engaged and eager. Oh and the spice, wow the spice, is well…spicy and it’s often! I am really looking forward to the next books in this series, I very much hope it’s going to be Lucy and Jude. Those two….those two are going to be FUN to read.

Kate is a lover of all things books. It doesn’t matter what genre, as long as there’s a HEA, she’s in. She started reading romance in high school and would hide novels in textbooks to read during class. Becoming an author was always a dream she had and finally decided to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and write what she loves. She grew up in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan then became a West Coast girl where she lives with her amazing husband and hilarious son. She would love to hear from readers so check out all her socials and sign up for her newsletter so she can keep you up to date on her books and whatever other ramblings come to mind.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 18, 2023

Utah—
I’m the Enforcer for the RBMC’s Durango Chapter, hunting down the two-bit scumbag who stole from my club.
He’s a dead man walking.

The problem is a sexy little hellcat named Kate keeps getting in my way.
She’s a bounty hunter and after the same trash as me.
Only she doesn’t want him dead.
She needs him very much alive.
She plans to take him in for the reward, but his bounty doesn’t even come close to the money he owes the club.

Now she wants to offer me a bargain so we can both get what we want.
My club comes first, but I have to admit, it’s been years since I’ve met a woman half as interesting as this one.
She’s got a body that could persuade most men to do anything she asks, but I’m no fool.
If Kate wants to make me a deal, she’ll have to be part of it.

REVIEW:ENFORCING THE RULES is the fourth instalment in Nicole James’ contemporary, adult RBMC: DURANGO CO erotic, MC romance series-a part of the multi-authors RBMC world. This is club enforcer Utah, and bounty hunter Kate’s story line. ENFORCING THE RULES 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 first person perspectives (Utah and Kate) ENFORCING THE RULES follows in the wake of a robbery and shooting of one of the members of the RBMC: Durango. Utah is desperate to find the man that almost took the life of one of their own but in the meantime Utah will come face to face with his future in the guise of a young woman named Kate but little did he know that Kate is a bounty hunter, and is looking for the same man who robbed the RBMC. Several ‘fortuitous’ and accidental meetings places Kate and Utah in one another’s proverbial orbits, and several nights together means getting to know about one another’s lives but Utah struggles knowing that Kate’s bond runner is the same man whom the club is going to destroy, a man that Kate knows better than most. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Kate and Utah, and the potential fall-out as the sins of the father follow Kate where ever she does.

The world building follows several paths as Kate must come to terms with what is happening and why. Her sister is in trouble; her father is missing; and the new man in her life is well ensconced in the biker lifestyle. Threats against the family force Kate to keep secrets that may very well get her killed; and to Utah, the club will always come first.

The relationship between Kate and Utah begins accidentally but with their paths crossing several times, Utah and Kate begin to imagine there is something else going on to push the coupe together. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large secondary and supporting cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including the appearance of several members of the RBMC. We are introduced to Kate’s father Ray Baker, his wife Davina, and their daughter Bethany. The requisite evil has many faces.

ENFORCING THE RULES is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and steamy; the characters are desperate and dynamic.
