ABOUT THE BOOK:
Welcome to Providence, where the Ravage Riders reign.
Edge, the son of the former VP for the Ravage Riders, is a broken, bitter man. He’s lost the only woman he ever loved, locked away in prison for a bar fight that escalated because of his temper. After three years, he’s finally returning home, but things aren’t the same. His father lives in exile, banished for crimes that nearly tore the club apart. Now, an imposter sits on the throne as president, and Edge swears his vengeance.
There’s a war brewing with the Riders’ rival Satan’s Outlaws, and the picturesque, friendly city of Providence is now the center of a bloody turf war. The local police don’t want to see their town corrupted by outlaw bikers, but the feud growing between the two clubs is reaching a boiling point.
Then there’s Rae, the sweet, pretty girl that Edge grew up with and the one person not tainted by his life in the club. Three years of regret and loss kept them separated, and now she’s buried in Witness Protection. Edge is determined to find Rae, even if he has to lie, cheat, steal, or kill to make it happen.
He’ll do anything to keep Rae, his brothers in the club, and the town safe, but the threat they’re under collides with the past. Edge is forced to seek answers about his father’s past sins, but if he isn’t careful, Edge might end up right back behind bars, and that’s something he can’t allow.

REVIEW: SINS OF THE FATHER is the first instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RAVAGE RIDERS MC slightly paranormal, MC romance series. This is Peter ‘Edge’ Ravage, and Rae Stenson’s story line.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from three first person perspectives (Edge, Rae, RJ) using present day and memories from the past, covering approximately three years, SINS OF THE FATHER focuses on the romance and relationship between Peter ‘Edge’ Ravage, and Rae Stenson. Since he was ten years old, Peter ‘Edge’ Ravage has been in love with best friend Rae Stenson but at eighteen years of age, Peter was prospecting with the Ravage Riders MC, and the fall-out of the war with a rival MC was about to affect his relationship with our story line heroine. A series of threats against Rae Stenson meant Peter and his friends and fellow prospects were constantly on the defensive when it came to the woman he loves, a woman whose naivety was about to threaten everyone she loved. What ensues is the ongoing relationship, friendship and building love between Peter and Rae, and the potential fall-out when sins from the past demand vengeance in the present time.
The relationship between Peter aka Edge and Rae is one of childhood best friends in which Rae is naïve to her best friend’s emotions, feelings, and his obvious connections to one of the local MCs. There is plenty of back ground information regarding three families destroyed by betrayal, vengeance, secrets and lust, and in this, the next generations is about to pay for sins of the past. Not only has Peter fallen in love with his best friend, but so too, has someone else, who is willing to step aside, and watch from the sidelines. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members from the Ravage Riders MC, and the Satan’s Outlaw MC. We are introduced to Peter’s best friend RJ, as well as Jake and Hayley; Rae’s mother Sarah, her step-father Charlies, and her sister Leah; Pete’s father Mack, and Club VP turned President Rafe.
SINS OF THE FATHER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, love and friendships, obsession and hate. The very slight paranormal , character driven premise is entertaining and engaging; the romance is young and passionate; the characters are determined and dynamic.

SINNERS AND SAINTS
Ravage Riders 2
by Nikki Landis
Re-Release Date: August 26, 2022
Genre: adult, contemporary, MC, dark, erotic romance

ABOUT THE BOOK:
I’d do anything for my club.
The Ravage Riders are my family. They welcomed me in, gave me a safe place to crash away from the horrors and abuse I endured, and my best friend Edge is as close to me as a brother. Nothin’ ever came between us until Rae. We both fell hard. She chose him. I was left standing alone.
I swore I wouldn’t love again. I told myself no other woman could ever be as perfect as Rae. And then, a social worker with good intentions and a perfect smile showed up at the door. Her curvy figure snagged my attention, and then her sultry voice. Cara charmed me from the first word she spoke.
Girls like her don’t fall for guys like me. She’s practically a saint. Cara takes care of kids and the elderly and donates time to a homeless shelter. I swear there’s a bright gold halo over her head. I’m a born sinner. A biker, an outlaw. I ride a Harley and don’t care about obeying the law. The thoughts in my head are downright wicked, and with every fantasy that pops in there, I want to act them out with her.
Deadly secrets emerge along with lies, deceit, and a ruthless ex plotting against the Riders. When Cara’s life is threatened, my protective instincts kick in. She’s mine. No one is tearing us apart. This sinner will unleash hell to protect his saint. And I won’t stop until she’s back in my arms where she belongs.

REVIEW: SINNERS & SAINTS is the second instalment (and novella) in Nikki Landis’ contemporary adult RAVAGE RIDERS erotic, MC, slightly paranormal, romance series focusing on the Ravage Riders MC (RRMC). This is social worker Cara, and Ravage Riders MC treasurer RJ’s story line. SINNERS & SAINTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from several first person perspectives including RJ, Cara, Edge, Rae and Mack, SINNERS & SAINTS focuses on the building relationship between RJ and Cara. Cara is a social worker at Leah’s school. Leah is the younger sister to Rae (Sins of the Father) but Leah is struggling and the teacher has called in help from our story line heroine. Cara never expected to come face to face with her future in the guise of Ravage Riders MC treasurer RJ, a man whose life she would save a few days later. The Ravage Riders MC are facing a possible war with the Satan’s Outlaw MC, and Cara will be caught in the middle when the time comes to settle a score. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Cara and RJ, and the potential fall-out when Cara is used as a pawn in an effort to draw out the Ravage Riders MC.
The relationship between Cara and RJ is one of immediate attraction but Cara is currently involved with someone else, a man whose illegal activities are about to affect the RRMC. RJ has been in love with his best friend’s ol’lady for as long as he can remember but meeting Cara stirs something deep and permanent for our story line hero. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.
There is another large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in the previous instalment. Mack has regained control over the position of President, his son Edge is now the VP, and the struggling SAA Valan has fallen for a woman who is about to fall for someone else. We are introduced to Cara’s sister Charlotte, and Cara’s so one to be ex-fiance Maxwell Foreman.
SINNERS & SAINTS is a story of power and control, abuse and shame, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is engaging and action packed; the romance is quick and captivating; the characters are energetic and charismatic.
I want to address the slight paranormal aspect to the story line premise. The inclusion is very limited and feels unnecessary (so far), and is never truly explained. I am hoping the author soon ‘fleshes’ out the paranormal existence, if only for an explanation as to what is happening and why.
