ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 3, 2025

Will Paul kill Harper, or will someone else beat him to it?

Paul Ricci had no intention of starting a war between criminal syndicates. Especially over a woman. He’d accepted the bounty on Harper Myers’s head out of respect. They had history, and he wanted to give her a death with dignity.

Unfortunately, his heart had different plans.

As the daughter of an outlaw biker, Harper was no stranger to the politics of organized crime. Despite removing herself from that lifestyle years ago and starting anew as a lawyer several states away, coming home to Oklahoma dragged her, kicking and screaming, right back in.

Someone wanted her dead. It wasn’t personal—just business.The man who had once taken a bullet for her intended to put one right between her eyes.

Would Paul, her fling from the past, be her savior or her executioner? Did her heart know the difference?

•••••

REVIEW: QUEEN OF BLADES is the first instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult DIXIE MAFIA dark, erotic, Mafia / MC romance series. This is syndicate heir Paul Ricci, and attorney Harper Myers’s story line. Paul and Harper’s story begins in the prequel-FLING OF HEARTS which can be found in the multi-authored charity anthology LUST LOVE AND POKER CHIPS.

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

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Harper and Paul) QUEEN OF BLADES picks up approximately twelve years after the events of FLING OF HEARTS in which, Harper Myers found herself in a three week affair with Paul Ricci, the son of the Mafia Don Joseph Ricci. Fast forward to present day, Harper is currently the assistant district attorney for North Carolina, and our heroine has been targeted by an unknown threat, someone who is willing to pay to end her life. Accepting the contract to take down the woman who had previously stolen his heart, Paul finds himself on the run with Harper Myers, and a potential war between the MC and the criminal underworld including the Irish Mob, Italian Mafia, and the Columbian Cartel.

The world building focuses on the search for the truth. Someone is taking aim at our story line couple, and Paul is desperate to uncover the who, how and why but no amount of protection will keep Harper safe, when the person targeting our heroine is someone she knows. Oklahoma is no longer safe, and Harper finds herself on the run.

The relationship between Harper and Paul is one of second chances; a rekindling relationship in which Paul is determined to protect the woman with whom he had fallen in love. Twelve years, both had changed but the heart remembered what happened years before, The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting players are energetic and questionable. We are reintroduced to Paul’s brothers Eddie and Sam, as well as their father Joseph Ricci, the head of the syndicate aka Dixie Mafia; several members of the Roughneck Riders MC including Harper’s father Snoopy Oberlin, her brothers Weston and Colt Oberlin, and sister Remi Myers, and as well as ex Dwight ‘Diesel Delaluz.

QUEEN OF BLADES is a story of obsession and madness, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, dark and gritty; the romance is fated and impassioned; the characters are dangerous yet charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 6, 2025

Nothing shatters the status quo like stumbling upon fate.

Happiness just wasn’t in the cards for Clara Stevens. She’d accepted that, and found her purpose in the Coalition for Light. When Makoa Hale attended a meeting, the hawk shifter did more than threaten her position within her community.

Makoa vowed to end the cult. Unfortunately, while undercover, the worstthing to do is mate the target of the investigation. The tempting dragon shifter could cost him this case and his career.

When the leadership discovers their bond, lives are put on the line. How was Makoa supposed to rescue Clara and bring down her organization at the same time?

••••••

Sandy’s Review:

GIVING THE DRAGON FREEDOM is the fourth instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ELEMENTAL DRAGONS paranormal, erotic romance series. This is hawk shifter Makoa Hale, and dragon shifter Clara Stevens’ story line. GIVING THE DRAGON FREEDOM 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 (Makoa and Clara) GIVING THE DRAGON FREEDOM follows Makoa Hale as he is tasked with investigating the group known as the Coalition of Light, a cult-like organization whose ruling members are determined to reveal the supernatural creatures to the human world, but Makoa Hale never expected to find his fated mate in the guise of dragon shifter Clara Stevens, a woman bespelled against her will, used and abused by the people in charge. Determined to rescue his fated mate, Makoa quickly discovers not all is as it appears to be, and Clara’s secrets threaten a possible future for our story line couple.

The world building follows several paths including the discovery of a fated mate in the face of grief and loss; the power and control by magic of those easily manipulated by the people in charge; and the fall-out of betrayal to their own kind when the truth is revealed.

The relationship between Clara and Makoa begins as in investigation but Makoa will quickly realize that Clara is their fated mate. Both having loved and lost in the past, Clara struggles with her previous commitment to the Coalition of Light, as Makoa battles between head and heart knowing Clara’s participation could mean the end before it ever begins. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate .

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Gideon and Ella: Declan and Alisa, witch Felicity, as well as the Fae Queen Nyernia; wolf shifter Aric from the Council of Others; vampire Trinity Star , Fae Aspen, and Clara’s estranged daughter Nora. The requisite evil has many faces. Not everyone will survive.

GIVING THE DRAGON FREEDOM is a story of power and control, obsession and madness, secrets and lies, magic and mayhem, acceptance, fate and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are determined and dynamic.

Julie B’s Review 🦋

In “Giving the Dragon Freedom,” Victoria Jayne delivers an enthralling fourth installment in the Elemental Dragons series. The novel explores themes of duty, love, and sacrifice against a backdrop of magical intrigue and fierce loyalties.

Clara Stevens is a the MFC whose resilience shines throughout the book. As a devoted member of the Coalition for Light, Clara has dedicated her life to preventing darkness from taking hold. Her commitment is admirable, yet lonely, which heightens the impact of her eventual encounter with Makoa Hale, a hawk shifter with a mission. When they cross paths during a coalition meeting, their undeniable chemistry threatens to unravel their worlds.

Makoa is not only charismatic but also complex. He struggles between his duty to dismantle a dangerous cult and his growing feelings for Clara. The author skillfully navigates this tension, crafting a romance that feels genuine and layered. The stakes soar as Makoa’s undercover investigation unfolds; the potential consequences of their bond introduce a gripping urgency.

The plot is well-paced, blending action with emotional depth. The author’s world-building remains immersive, allowing readers to fully engage with the elemental magic and the underlying conflicts of light versus dark. The tension escalates as the leadership of the Coalition becomes aware of Makoa and Clara’s bond, leaving me on the edge of my seat.

One of the book’s highlights is the author’s ability to convey the characters’ internal struggles. Clara’s journey of self-discovery, alongside Makoa’s dilemmas, adds depth and relatability. The supporting characters are also well-developed, contributing to the story’s richness.

“Giving the Dragon Freedom” tackles the notion of sacrifice for love, making readers question what they would do in similar circumstances. The author’s writing is both engaging and evocative, ensuring each scene resonates with emotional authenticity.

Overall, this installment is a compelling blend of fantasy, romance, and suspense, making it a must-read for fans of the genre. Victoria Jayne successfully captures the essence of conflict—both personal and external.

I can’t wait to see what comes next.

So, if you enjoy stories that intertwine magic with heartfelt connections, this book is sure to captivate you!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 14, 2025

Is there a better way to stick it to your ex than to have a fling with the hot mafia guy?

Fresh out of a relationship, Harper was ready to get out of Oklahoma and away from outlaw bikers. All she had to do was pass her LSATs, get into law school, oh and convince her crazy ex-boyfriend things were over.

Totally doable.

The family business had grown with their casino in the laundromat’s basement. Paul settled into a groove until Harper came along. Driven, foul-mouthed, and addicting. Of course, she came with baggage.

Listen. It was never that serious. She wasn’t his problem. Right? When the bullets flew, they find out.

••••••

NOTE: My review covers FLING OF HEARTS by Victoria Jayne

REVIEW: FLING OF HEARTS is the prequel novella in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, new adult DIXIE MAFIA erotic, Mafia romance series, and a part of the multi-authored LUST, LOVE AND POKER CHIPS charity anthology. This is twenty-one year old college student Harper Myers, and twenty-four year old,security specialist Paul Ricci’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 (Harper and Paul) FLING OF HEARTS follows MC princess Harper Myers in the wake of starting a new job at a local laundromat. Harper was busy studying for her LSATs but her father, president of the Roughneck Riders MC didn’t accept her lack of a job so found her employment at the local laundromat, a laundromat where so much more is happening underground. Paul Ricci works for his father, behind the scenes, where Harper is working, and finds himself attracted to a woman whose past refuses to let go.

The world building introduces a few of the characters, and some of the background in the author’s new Dixie Mafia series. Harper’s father is controlling, and refuses to accept his daughter’s difficult situation; Paul is determined to keeps tabs of the woman that is calling to his heart.

The relationship between Paul and Harper is quick to develop. Protective of Harper, Paul finds himself pulled into the aura that is our story line heroine, and is determined to claim Harper as his own. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Harper’s father, Roughneck Riders MC president Snoopy, Harper’s ex Dwight, as well as Pau’s brother Eddie.

FLING OF HEARTS is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, obsession and madness, friendships and family. The character driven premise is fast paced and entertaining; the romance is limited; the characters are desperate and dynamic. FLING OF HEARTS ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 4, 2025

Fate happened when they were busy making other plans.

Felicity Monroe lost her dream job. So, she headed to a secluded island where she could sip tropical drinks with umbrellas in them to escape reality. A delicious piece of dragon shifter only added to the appeal.

Unfortunately, as an Ember Witch, things were never that easy—not even a vacation.

Kai Aukai’s duty was to protect Pāhaʻohuna from humans. Of course, that involved working with the local coven. When the spell casters brought in witches from the mainland who hated each other, it complicated things. If they couldn’t get along, one had to leave.

Considering he mated Felicity, she had to stay.

Felicity’s moonlit dance brought more than the dragon shifter. Betrayal threatened to sabotage their mission. They all have to work together to save Pāhaʻohuna from human exposure. If they don’t, they’ll have to relive witch trials and dragon slayings.

••••

Sandy’s Review

GIVING THE DRAGON WATER is the third instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ELEMENTAL DRAGONS erotic, paranormal, fantasy romance series. This is dragon Kai Aukai, and Ember witch Felicity Monroe’s story line. GIVING THE DRAGON WATER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Kai and Felicity) GIVING THE DRAGON WATER follows in the wake of Felicity Monroe’s arrival on Pāhaʻohuna island, an island of supernatural beings hidden from the human world. Pāhaʻohuna is struggling to keep their island a secret, and an Ember witch is needed to strengthen the wards. Meeting dragon shifter Kai Aukai finds our heroine reconsidering her future but the arrival of her estranged aunt precipitates a series of dangerous events that threaten the lives of the island inhabitants.

The world building focuses on a potential betrayal; the group known as the Coalition for Light whose aim it is to reveal the existence of the supernatural; and the power that comes with magic and madness.

The relationship between Kai and Felicity is one of fated mates but Felicity tends to waffle between awareness and obliviousness, often a little naïve to the point of exhaustion. Refusing to participate in the destruction of life, Felicity struggles with her abilities, and the demands of her kind. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and magical secondary and supporting characters including Office of Security Captain Makoa, Kilikilo coven witch Kiely, Felicity’s aunt Josephine; leader of the Ember witch coven Divina, and the return of dragons Gideon and his mate Ella, Declan and his mate Alisa.

GIVING THE DRAGON WATER is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and forgiveness, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is magical, intriguing and enchanting; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined, dynamic and desperate.

Julie B’s 🦋 Review

Third book in the series (I read one and two, which were great 👍🏻) not really a requirement to read to enjoy this story. But I think it adds to the overall feel of the story.

Poor Felicity, losing the job she loves had her at a bit of a loose end. What better way to pick up the pieces and start again, than by going on holiday.

You would think so…..

Kai is a dragon shifter that protects the island he lives on. it’s his honour to protect and he does it fiercely. But they need to increase the protection spell, and so another witch is brought in to help….

I love the almost instant attraction the dragon side of Kai has, he wants what he wants and no one, not even Kai’s human side will stand in the way 😜

But it’s only a holiday romance? Not if fated mate rule comes into play! But can she really stay on an island that only wants you for your power!

There is also the fact another witch was brought to the island, and as it’s a family member, so we can expect rivalry and betrayal.

If you love a good shifter story with a fated mates trope, then I highly recommend this book and the series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 5, 2024

It could be fate or a bitter witch. Either way, someone is against them.

Alisa Roberts went to Manhattan expecting to meet the father she never knew. Finding her mate, though, that was one hell of an inconvenience. Especially when their bond cemented her curse. Destroying the witches responsible is the only way to end their spell.

When Declan Quinn answered the call of a golden dragon shifter, he rutted his way into a disaster. His new mate had a vendetta against witches. Unfortunately, his best friend happened to be quite magical.

When her fire and his ice clashed, they realized fate had a cynical sense of humor. Can the sins of the mother ever wash away? Or will Alisa and Declan pay the ultimate price?

•••••

Sandy’s Review:  GIVING THE DRAGON ICE is the second instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ELEMENTAL DRAGONS paranormal, romance series. This is gold fire dragon shifter / bartender Alisa Roberts, and teal ice dragon shifter Declan Quinn’s story line. GIVING THE DRAGON ICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Declan and Alisa) GIVING THE DRAGON ICE follows in the wake of the fated mating of our story line couple. Fated mates between dragon shifters is rare, and the gold dragon shifter is even rarer but when Alisa’s dragon goes into heat, she finds herself in the throes of passion with a dragon she doesn’t know. Enter Declan Quinn, teal dragon shifter, and the man who answers Alisa’s call to mate but all is not well in the world of the supernatural, and Alisa’s line of gold dragons has been cursed by a coven of Ember witches in the wake of a former, perceived betrayal. As Declan and Alisa journey together into the unknown, Alisa is targeted for someone else’s sins.

The world building focuses on family and dysfunctional family dynamics both within the world of the dragon shifter and powerful witches. Alisa lost her mother at an early age, and she has spent her life in hiding with her grandmother who feared a curse placed on her family line. Meanwhile, Alisa will go on the hunt for the family she never knew, only to discover they are closer than she could have ever imagined.

The relationship between Alisa and Declan begins as fated mates but Alisa wants nothing to do with a relationship predicated upon magic and DNA but fate had other plans for our story line couple, and they will have to take precautions in an effort to protect their family and futures. The $ex scenes are aggressive and impassioned.

The secondary and supporting characters include Gideon and Ella (Giving the Dragon Fire 1); Alisa’s grandmother Lilian: her father Duncan Hayes, witch Josephine; witch Felicity; and Declan’s mother Sonya.

GIVING THE DRAGON ICE is a story of power and control,betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, magical and captivating; the romance is fated and provocative; the characters are desperate and enchanting.

 

Julie’s Review

I’d read the first book in this new series (Giving the dragon Fire) which I loved. So I was looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Alisa is a gold dragon and is in town to meet her father, who she has never met before.

Declan is a teal dragon. He’s also a real player, ladies flock to our MMC, and he’s loving the lifestyle. He’s also a dragon that works for Alisa’s father!

Alisa hates witches with a vengeance! Declan’s best friend is a witch! (Can you see the situation here?) I did mutter “uh oh” out loud when I read that part.

And then being together sets Alisa’s curse off! The witches that want her 💀 now have Declan in their sights too! But unfortunately now they are mated Alisa can’t walk away and save Declan.

Fated mates is a real favourite genre of mine (the whole idea of a destined soul out their that is just for you, makes me swoon 😜)

We get to catch up with Ella and Gideon (Giving the Dragon Fire) which I always like (don’t like it when previous couples just disappear!) and there was a twist that I didn’t see, but I absolutely loved.

But saying that, you don’t have to read in order to appreciate this book. You won’t really miss anything (except a cute couple) if you start here.

As with the last book, it flows really well. We have steam, humor, danger, fated mates,, and a new family, it has enough spice to keep you hooked 😜 and plenty of drama to keep you turning the pages well past your bedtime. I was totally hooked, and didn’t stop until I was done.

So, will Declan aid his new mate in her quest for vengeance against the witches? Can Alisa’s curse be broken?

Oh and be prepared to cry towards the end….

I’m looking forward to the next book. 🦋

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 9, 2024

She captured his dragon’s attention and stole his fire.

With her final exams behind her, Ella Kincaid has one weekend to live carefree before entering the grueling world of corporate America to start her dream job. She never expected her one-night stand with Gideon to put her in an ethical dilemma on day one.

As a dragon shifter, all Gideon Hayes wants is his fire and to make jewelry. One incredibly stupid mistake cost him his flame. What’s he supposed to do with a human mate, anyway?

They’re mates who shouldn’t be. If Ella can’t get Gideon out of her head, she’ll lose her career. He’ll be damned if a human negates his fire.

Can they deny what destiny has in store for them? Challenging fate may have worse consequences than they ever imagined.

••••••

REVIEW:Another new author for me 😉 and a shifter book (one of my favourite reads) so I’m well happy 😊

Ella, has a strong personality who takes no messing from anyone. She values her work and has worked hard to get where she is now. It might be a family owned business, but didn’t do her any favours. She loves her job (the one thing that puzzled me though… it’s family run, but hardly any of her family wander through or are mentioned!)

Gideon is a dragon shifter. He has the reputation of being a bad boy, but it didn’t really come across that way (well I didn’t to me 🤷🏻‍♀️) He loves his job. He make’s jewellery for the family run business. (Now this is where it differs from Ella, we meet, and hear about his family all the time 🤔)

I liked how the author (through Gideon) explains how the shifter community works. How they shift/meet other dragons and how they live in general, (they are governed by a dragon council) We got the information in a way that wasn’t just an information dump (you get some authors just unload too much too soon!)

Meeting leads to obvious chemistry between Ella and Gideon. One thing leads to another…. The bedroom scenes are spicy 🥵 but there aren’t too many (lately all I’ve been reading is no plot and lots of $ex, it gets a little monotonous)

Did make me roll my eyes when they decided they weren’t going to be together, they wanted to continue their own lives separately. It’s good to have conflict, it’s ok to make them realise they will be happier together. (Nothing worse than no drama) but both Gideon and Ella got a little whiny (that is me skipping a few pages)

I loved Felicity, Ella’s friend/roommate, she’s an absolute blast. Witty and totally out there, but we all need a friend like that. Some of the stuff she comes out with had me chuckling.

So when an opportunity arises that could end they’d bond, will they take it? or will they finally realise what they have really is special?
Storyline is fairly original and straightforward. Characters are well thought out.

It’s descriptive without wasting pages. A recommended read if you like your shifter stories. I’d love Felicity to get a story, that would a fun read.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 4, 2023

To do:

1. Find a mentor
2. Get a new job
3. Figure out how to stop loving him…

Blue needs a new life. Despite all her hard work, she has to leave the tattoo shop and Odin’s Fury Motorcycle Club. They were never hers to begin with.

And neither was Mooky.

Mooky has a plan to get his life in order and win Blue back. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. There has to be.

Turns out, that light is from a cop car. Their bad situation surpassed Tragic and landed firmly in Abysmal. Otherwise known as jail

But with trouble mounting, prison is the least of Mooky and Blue’s worries. The Odin’s Fury Motorcycle Club are getting impatient with the heat Mooky has brought to their table and may have to take matters into their bloody hands.

Can Mooky put an end to the chaos and to the police pressure on the club? Or will he and Blue find themselves at the doorstep of Náströnd?

•••••

REVIEW: BLUE is the sixth instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ODIN’S FURY erotic, MC romance series. This is the continuing story of club member/tattoo artist Charles ‘Mooky’ Retz, and Dakota ‘Blue’ Frost. BLUE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book five MOOKY. If you have not read MOOKY, there may be spoilers in my review.

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

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Mooky and Blue) BLUE follows in the aftermath of the break up of our story line couple. For all intents and purposes Mooky is a married man, although he has been separated from his wife for a very long but the separation has come at a cost. A rookie cop with a vendetta targeting Mooky Retz , threatens not only his children but the woman he loves. As Mooky struggles to stay one step ahead of the dirty cop, Blue is about to pay the price for sins of the past. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Mooky and Blue, and the potential fall-out as Blue is targeted in the name of revenge.

Mooky Retz tried to keep the marriage together for the sake of the kids but the vitriol, cheating and anger were too much to bare. A quicky divorce was out of the question but threats to Blue meant someone else was about to become the target of the ODIN’S FURY MC. Dakota ‘Blue’ Frost fell in love with Mooky while mentoring at his tattoo shop but sometimes loves is not enough, and Blue found herself, on the outside looking in, when Mooky’s past refuses to let go.

The relationship between Mooky and Blue is a second chance relationship. Blue is a former clubgirl with the Odin’s Fury MC but is hoping to make a name for herself as a tattoo artist, on her own. With Mooky doing work for the club, Blue finds herself struggling with her own direction in life, reconsidering the path on which she was about to embark. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

We are reintroduced to Odin’s Fury MC-club VP Dash, president Clark, Cajun, attorney Nate Sawyer, as well as Blue’s BFF club girl Sarah, and tattoo artists Mammoth and Stella; Mooky’s soon to be ex-wife Angela, their children Star and River, and Officer Dylan Holt.

BLUE is a story of vengeance and obsession, betrayal and bitterness, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced, anxiety-ridden premise is tragic, raw and dramatic; the characters are dynamic and stubborn; the romance is spirited and edgy.

Not all love stories start with tattoos and motorcycles…

Blue’s life is right on course. Now that she’s gotten involved with the Odin’s Fury Motorcycle Club, not only has she made great friends, but she’s fallen head over heels for the club’s enforcer, Mooky. Yeah, she’s his woman, but as his apprentice, she’s also within arm’s reach of her dream job—becoming a tattoo artist.

Dream man, dream job, all on the way to her dream life.

Until everything shatters.

Mooky should’ve come clean sooner. He thought he could settle it before Blue found out. Now, it’s too late. The truth could expose the club business, or worse, it could cost him Blue.

Cutting ties with Mooky would cost her the life that she’s only just found—that she doesn’t want to lose. But staying makes Blue question the very person she is—or she thought she was.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Mooky and Blue) MOOKY focuses on the relationship between club member/tattoo artist Mooky Retz, and Dakota ‘Blue’ Frost. Mooky Retz is a tattoo artist, and works at the club owned shop. As an apprentice tattoo artist Dakota ‘Blue’ Frost is up close and personal with all of the club members but more specifically she is in a relationship, and has fallen in love with Mooky Retz but all is not well in Mooky’s life, and the past is demanding everything and more. What ensues is the building but fracturing romance and relationship between Mooky and Blue, and the fall-out as Blue is forced to walk away, breaking both her heart, and Mooky’s heart in the process.

Mooky Retz knows a thing or two about secrets, and he has a couple of secrets that are about to implode. From a rookie copy with a vendetta, to a past that refuses to let go, Mooky knows it is only a matter of time before he loses everything including the woman he loves. Dakota ‘Blue’ Frost was once a club wh*re for the Odin’s Fury MC but falling in love with Mooky meant she was no longer available for anyone else but Mooky’s past has taken aim at our story line couple, and Blue refuses to be the scapegoat for someone else’s anger and loss of control.

The relationship between Mooky and Blue began as a clubgirl playing with the Odin’s Fury membership but once Mooky took a liking to our story line heroine, everyone else backed away, knowing not to come between and man and his woman. Mooky had never claimed Blue as his own, and when the past comes demanding everything, Blue reconsiders her future going forward, a future that may no longer include Mooky or the Odin’s Fury MC. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Odin’s Fury MC-club VP Dash, president Clark, Cajun, attorney Nate Sawyer, as well as club girl Sarah, and tattoo artists Mammoth and Stella. The requisite evil has many faces.

MOOKY is a story of secrets and lies, determination and vengeance, love and obsession, anxiety and mistrust. The premise is gritty, dramatic, heart breaking and emotional; the romance is aggressive; the characters are broken and dynamic. MOOKY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
