As the son of Odin’s Fury Motorcycle Club’s VP, Jacob “Romeo” Karolsson has a lot to live up to. Going to Ohio for club business is his opportunity to prove himself. If he does it right, he can also use it as his second chance with Sparrow Malone, the one that got away seven years ago.
But Sparrow has goals and a life of her own. As the daughter of a fallen biker, she knows a woman’s place in an MC all too well. It’s her place within the club she’s not sure about. Then Jacob rides back into town and steals her self-control, her decency, and her morals.
Amid lollipops, love letters, and a serenade, their undeniable connection draws them to each other. But their club obligations may keep them apart. In a world where loyalty is everything, they have to decide where theirs lie and what is worth sacrificing.

REVIEW:JACOB is the first instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ODIN’S FURY MC erotic, MC, romance series. This is twenty three year old Jacob ‘Romeo’ Karolsson, and waitress Sparrow Malone’s story line.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Sparrow and Jacob) using present day and memories from the past, JACOB follows the second chance romance and relationship between twenty three year old Jacob ‘Romeo’ Karolsson, and waitress Sparrow Malone. Seven years earlier, Jacob fell in love with his best friend Sparrow but life happened and Sparrow disappeared without a trace. Fast forward to present day wherein Jacob Karolsson, and his Odin’s Fury Montana enforcer Dash have been tasked with checking out the Ohio chapter of the Roughneck Riders MC, a struggling MC but club with potential to patch over to the Odin’s Fury MC. Enter Sparrow Malone, a waitress at the Broken Spoke, a biker bar owned by the Roughneck Riders, whose father was a member of the Roughneck Riders MC, and the woman about whom Jacob Karolsson has never stopped thinking. What ensues is Jacob’s desperate attempts to woo back the woman he lost seven years earlier but a woman who is now the girlfriend and potential ole lady to Michael ‘Pipes’ Barton, a prospect for the Roughneck Riders’ MC.
Sparrow Malone’s father gave his life for the Roughneck Riders MC, and therefore Sparrow considers herself part of the family. With the appearance of Jacob Karolsson, old memories threaten Sparrow’s relationship with Pipes, a man who is about to spiral out of control. Hoping to get eventually work the books for the Roughneck Riders MC, Sparrow works diligently to get her diploma, but life had other plans for out story line heroine.
The relationship between Sparrow and Jacob is one of second chances: a rekindling relationship wherein Jacob’s attempts at seduction are met with derision and scorn. Sparrow is unable to deny her attraction to the man /boy she left years before but her life is now in Ohio, with the Roughneck Riders MC. The lone ‘$ex’ scene is furious and fast.
We are introduced to Odin’s Fury enforcer Dash, as well as several members of the Roughneck Riders MC including their president Bowie, Tut, and Sparrow’s boyfriend Michael ‘Pipes’ Barton.
JACOB is a slow building story of second chances and obsession, as our hero struggles to accept that the love of his life has moved on; and a heroine who has never stopped loving the man she can no longer have. The premise is edgy but primarily focuses on Jacob and Sparrow’s backstory and current non-relationship -I was hoping there would have been a little more buildup of the MC framework for upcoming instalments as it appears the Roughneck Riders are about to implode but saying that their story has only just begun and continues in book two SPARROW; the characters are tragic and spirited; the romance struggles in the face of diverging paths.
JACOB end on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned-Jacob and Sparrow’s story continues in book two SPARROW.

Regrets. She has a few.
Nothing went how Sparrow Malone planned. Her boyfriend didn’t get clean. She didn’t take the entrance exam, and the motorcycle club her father had been a part of is crumbling. To add insult to injury, Jacob didn’t stay in Montana.
Screw him over once, shame on her. Do it twice, shame on him. Jacob gave up on Sparrow when he left without her two years ago. But Odin’s Fury Motorcycle Club still had business in Ohio, which meant he did too.
The first time, it wasn’t their fault. Their second chance didn’t end well. While both swore never to repeat past mistakes, they can’t help themselves.
With the two clubs merging into one, it’s either going to be third time’s a charm or three strikes and they’re out.

REVIEW: SPARROW is the second instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary ODIN’S FURY MC erotic, MC, romance series. This is the continuing story of twenty six year old Jacob ‘Romeo’ Karolsson, and waitress Sparrow Malone. SPARROW should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up approximately two years after the cliff hanger of book one JACOB.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Sparrow and Jacob) using present day and memories from the past, SPARROW picks up approximately two years after the events of book one JACOB wherein Jacob aka Romeo Karolsson, had returned to Ohio to claim the woman he had always loved but Sparrow had made up her mind, and chose to remain with Pipes, the prospect, from the Roughneck Riders MC. Fast forward to present day wherein Jacob was now an official member of the hierarchy of the Odin’s Fury MC, and Sparrow’s life with with Pipes had gradually degraded and our heroine would suffer the brunt of her lover’s addictions and fury. With the return of the Odin’s Fury MC to Ohio, the Roughneck Riders were no more, and Sparrow was about to suffer at the hands of the man she thought she had loved. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Jacob and Sparrow, and the rebuilding and cleanup of the once powerful Roughneck Riders MC.
The relationship between Sparrow and Jacob continues to be a second chance romance but this time Sparrow knows that Jacob is the man she has always loved. When Jacob returns to claim Sparrow as his own, Sparrow will suffer at the hands of another man who has also laid claim to our story line heroine. The $ex scene is intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Most of the previous story line characters return, as well as Jacob’s father and Odin’s Fury MC VP Tex, Roughneck Rider’s road captain Rooster, SAA Clark, Monty, Teller, Sparrow’s mother Dixie, and Jacob’s friend and Odin’s Fury new SAA Daniel ‘Dash’ Bowden.
SPARROW is a story of abuse and addiction, second chances and acceptance, changes and moving forward. The world building focuses on the clean up and take down of the Roughneck Riders MC, and the patchover of the men who would now claim Odin’s Fury MC as brothers in arms. The fast paced premise is graphic and gritty; the romance is captivating; the characters are charismatic and energetic. DASH’s story is next.

Sticks and stones will break his bones, but floggers, whips, and canes excite her.
Dash came to Ohio to serve as interim vice president and help fix their recruiting problem. But when the longtime President dies, their territory is in jeopardy.
Between the stress of a dwindling chapter and the reluctance to institute the planned regime change, Dash sought a club woman for comfort. However, when his tastes became a little too much, she declined. Further frustrated, he turned to the internet and flirted with an aptly named woman: GINGERSNAP.
Getting back in the saddle after her self-imposed exile, Liz “GINGERSNAP” Martin takes a chance with him. He seems like everything her ex wasn’t – confident, dominant, and most importantly not a criminal – or so she thought.
Two out of three ain’t bad, right?
Their scenes can light the world on fire. He brings out her submission and makes her feel safe. But Liz struggles with the risks of trusting him.
Dash knows keeping her around means exposing her to the dangers of biker life.
It’s his role to protect her, even if that means from himself.

REVIEW:DASH is the third instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary adult ODIN’S FURY MC erotic, MC romance series. This is former military medic/Sargent at Arms turned VP thirty-two year old, Daniel ‘Dash’ Bowden, and twenty-eight year old nurse Liz ‘Gingersnap’ Martin’s storyline. DASH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, including scenes of bondage, spanking, Dom/sub and BDSM, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Dash and Liz) DASH focuses on Dash’s journey back to Akron where the Odin’s Fury Ohio chapter is struggling with the impending death of their long-time president. Assuming the position of temporary VP, Dash, along with the other members of Odin’s Fury struggle to make sense of the loss, the shake up in the MC hierarchy, and the possible betrayal from within. Meanwhile, Daniel ‘Dash’ Bowden’s life outside of the MC is that of a Dominant, and our hero, has been looking for a suitable partner for play. Enter twenty-eight year old nurse Liz ‘Gingersnap’ Martin. What ensues is the building ‘fet life’ relationship between Daniel aka PRK, and our story line heroine, and the potential fall-out as a betrayal to the club means lives will be forfeited but at what cost?
DASH is a story that focuses on the impending death of a respected man but a death that is about to push Odin’s Fury into chaos. Dash, along with his MC brother Romeo, is only in Ohio for a short period of time but with one brother missing, and several more actively betraying the MC membership, Dash finds himself anxious and stressed in the wake of grief, loss, and deception. Needing an ‘outlet’ ,Dash actively seeks a suitable submissive, and finds exactly what he is looking for in our story line heroine.
The relationship between Dash and Liz is very slow to develop as our couple spend most of the story line apart, as the author is developing their back story, history and pathway towards a future. Our couple have no inclinations, at this time, towards a romantic entanglement; most of their interaction has been virtual or online with only a couple of physical play times toward the second half of the book. All $exual scenarios involve BDSM, and Dom/sub play.
We are introduced to Liz’s best friend Anemone aka Ane, whose speciality is rope play, as well as the return of several members of Odin’s Fury MC, Ohio chapter.
DASH is a story death and grief, betrayal and vengeance, BDSM and Dom/sub roles. The slow building premise is inviting and intriguing; the characters are charismatic and impassioned; the romance is limited. DASH ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned. Dash and Gingersnap’s story continues in GINGERSNAP.
