ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2024

Blade

Iā€™m Finley, but no one has called me that in a long time. My brothers know me as Blade and that suits me fine. When they need the really dirty work done, they call me in. Thereā€™s a darkness in me that has no issue inflicting pain. Sometimes I think I crave it.

Despite my brothers falling like flies, I certainly donā€™t believe in love or relationshipsā€”at least not for me. Everyone believed I moved to Texas to watch over Sage, the truth was I was running. I ran from something that terrified me more than staring down the barrel of a gun.

Eliska.

Sheā€™d been through hell and she deserved better than me. I couldnā€™t give her what she wanted so I left. Except she just showed up in Texas with storm cloud eyes full of determination. Danger is looming. Death and destruction are closing in. Things with the club are about to turn upside down and weā€™re going to make some dangerous enemies. The last thing I need are distractions in the form of a golden-haired goddess.

I will only hurt herā€”break her. Yet, Iā€™ll cave if I canā€™t get her to leave. Iā€™ll claim her as mine and that will likely destroy us both.

REVIEW:BLADE by Kristine Allen is the fourth instalment in Kristine Allenā€™s contemporary, adult RBMC: DALLAS TX dark, erotic, paranormal romance series, set in the multi-authored RBMC world. This is Finley aka Blade, and Eliskaā€™s story line. BLADE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading books one and two TAMING RAPTOR and RAPTORā€™S REVENGE.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Blade and Eliska) following several timelines BLADE focuses on the return of the woman Blade left behind. Blade doesnā€™t do relationships , and believing he had failed the woman he loves as a sister (Sage), the return of Eliska places a target on the RBMC: Dallas but all is not well in the world of the RBMC, and with several chapters targeted and all but decimated, the Dallas chapter find themselves at a crossroads when the survivors announce a change in direction for the future.

The world building focuses on betrayal and loss as the remaining RBMC members must come to terms with a possible betrayal, and their future going forward. As the death and destruction destroy the numerous chapters of the RBMC, a new focus and a new future may be the only option remaining.

The relationship between Blade and Eliska is one of second chances but Blade believes he doesnā€™t deserve love; punishment is his way of proving he is alive, with an ability to feel but when the woman he loves is targeted, Blade must come to terms with his heritage, and the secrets that will be revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate yet aggressive.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and dynamic secondary and supporting many of whom we have met in the interconnected world of the RBMC including Raptor and Sage (Taming Raptor / Raptorā€™s Revenge), and characters from RBMC: Ankeny.

BLADE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and forgiveness, and the supernatural. The fast paced premise is dramatic, captivating, and dark; the romance is impassioned; the characters are broken yet determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 3, 2022

Once upon a time, I was Soap, happy-go-lucky member of the Demented Sons MC in Iowa. Beneath that faƧade, I had a secret I couldnā€™t afford to get out. All of that ended when the woman I loved died in my arms.
Driven by revenge, I searched for the party responsible for her death. When all I found were dead ends, I went to the Royal Bastards MCā€”known for uncovering the evil of the world and exterminating it. My stipulationā€”I wanted to be the one to kill whoever had stolen from me.
They refused. So I did what I had to do.
I joined them.
Slaughtering a human trafficker should be easy. What I wanted was within my grasp. Except, when I needed to pull the trigger, I hesitated. Because revenge is a dish best served cold, but a fiery blonde sparked an unexpected flame within me. Plans changed, I took her prisoner, and sh*t hit the fan.
If I wanted to keep her safe, I needed to embrace my secret and pray I could control the savage beast it unleashed.

REVIEW: SPARKING ARES is the third instalment in Kristine Allenā€™s contemporary, adult RBMC: Dallas TX paranormal, erotic, MC romance series. This is mountain lion shifter/MC member Memphis ā€˜Aresā€™, and Ember Coleā€™s story line. SPARKING ARES 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 (Ares and Ember) SPARKING ARES follows in the wake of betrayal and revenge. As a member of the Demented Sons MC, Ares lost the woman he loved, and not getting the help from the brothers he friended, Ares walked, and worked his way into the RBMC: Dallas. Desperate to avenge the murder of his girlfriend, Ares got the information he needed, and set out to destroy George Horacio, the one man he held responsible but all does not go according to plan when, hoping to ā€˜killā€™ Georgeā€™s sister, everything backfires when Ares ā€˜lionā€™ is determined to claim Ember as their mate. Knowing he royally screwed up, Ares must now keep Ember imprisoned, a prisoner who has no idea as to the who or the what. What ensues is the building relationship between Ember and Ares, and the potential fall-out as Emberā€™s time with Ares comes to a close.

Ares has yet to gain revenge for the death of his former girlfriend, and falling for Ember was never in the cards. George Horacio had plans for Ember, a payment for a debt, but Ares took control before Emberā€™s life was destroyed. Ember never thought she would fall in love with her sexy captor but the heart wanted what was never hers to claim. Believing himself unworthy of love or a mate, Ares struggled to let go of the only woman he would ever want. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters included club president Raptor and his mate Sage, Facet, Phoenix, Blade, One-Short, Gator, Torque, Sloane and Niara, as well as Emberā€™s step-brother George, and Albert Tarasov.

SPARKING ARES is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and enchanting; the romance is seductive Edna fated; the characters are energetic, dynamic and determined.

REVIEW: RAPTORā€™S REVENGE is the second instalment and novella in Kristine Allenā€™s contemporary, adult RBMC: Dallas TX erotic, paranormal, MC romance series and a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. RAPTORā€™S REVENGE and the RBMC: Dallas TX is a spin off from the authorā€™s RBMC Ankey Iowa series. This is the continuing story of thirty-five year old, former Ankeny Iowa MC VP turned RBMC: Dallas MC President Adrien ā€˜Raptorā€™ Krow, and twenty-seven year old, former stripper turned manager Sage Bennett aka Cookieā€™s story line. Raptorā€™s Revenge can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book one TAMING RAPTOR where Adrien and Sageā€™s story begins.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Adrien and Sage) RAPTORā€™S REVENGE follows the ongoing relationship between Adrien ā€˜Raptorā€™ Krow and Sage Bennett. Adrien is a hawk shifter, as are his father, and his sons from a previous relationship but Adrien will discover that his ex has left his sons alone far too often, and our hero puts a plan into motion to reclaim the children (now teens) that he lost but a prior threat against Sage continues, and someone is stalking our story line heroine, a heroineā€™s whose past life is about to be exposed. What ensues is the continuing love story between Adrien and Sage, and the potential fall-out as the threat against Sage becomes personal and wild.

Adrien has loved and lost, barely knowing the children he was forced to give up. Refusing to fall in love, or commit himself to forever, Adrien had pushed Sage out of his life, watching from the sidelines as her own life slowly imploded. Claiming Sage was only the beginning but protecting Sage from his past was getting more difficult to do.

The relationship between Sage and Adrien began years before when Sage fell in love with our story line hero. Adrien aka Raptor was older than Sage, and Sage remained untouchable as far as he was concerned. Sage went on with her life, having struggled in a world few knew anything about but falling for Adrien was easy but her low self esteem meant battling the demons that threatened their love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the RBMC: Facet, Phoenix, Blade, Ares, One-Short, Gator, Torque, Tigger ; Adrienā€™s sons Seth and Sam; his parents Priscilla and Allen, cousins Evan, and Reyn, as well as Adrienā€™s ex Falina and her husband Hatham.

RAPTORā€™S REVENGE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is passionate and intense; the characters are energetic and determined.
