ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 16, 2021

Trouble is coming for the Dirty Aces MC when they least expect it.

After a patch-over party turns into a near fatal shootout that injures several members, the Dirty Aces MC is left reeling.

Wirth feels especially guilty since he wasn’t at the bar when his brothers needed him the most. Instead, he had left with a beautiful, mysterious woman, making some of the new members question his loyalty to the club.

Needing to clear his own name, Wirth intends to find out who the rat is within the MC. Suspicious of the new girl, Maeve, he decides to try and get closer to her to determine where her true loyalties lie.

Once he finds out Maeve’s secret, Wirth’s own loyalties may be shaken to the core.

REVIEW:WIRTH is the fifth instalment in the contemporary, adult DIRTY ACES MC erotic, MC romance series co-authored by Lane Hart and DB West. This is twenty-five year old Dirty Aces MC member WIRTH Wright, and twenty-four year old Maeve Donovan’s story line. WIRTH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. The Dirty Aces series is a spin-off from the author’s Savage Kings MC but you do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow the story.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Wirth and Maeve) WIRTH follows in the aftermath of an attack against the Dirty Aces MC leaving three of their members suffering with gun-shot wounds at a patch-over party in Wilmington merging the Dirty Aces with the Knights of Wrath. Meanwhile Wirth Wright finds a woman on the side of the road, whose car is in need of immediate repairs but Wirth is about to learn that Maeve is more than the newest Club wh*re but a woman whose actions threaten the lives of the Dirty Aces MC. What ensues is the attack against the Dirty Aces MC, and the potential fall-out as Wirth’s loyalty is questioned by his association with our story line heroine.

The relationship between Maeve and Wirth is one of immediate attraction, a relationship based solely on their mutual sexual appetites but a relationship that is about to spiral out of control. As Wirth begins to suspect that Maeve is more than she claims to be, Maeve is torn between her loyalty to family, and her growing attraction to Wirth. Issues of trust and betrayal reign supreme. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble case of secondary and supporting characters including Maeve’s eighteen year old brother Rian, and the temporary head of the Irish Mafia Cormac. We are reintroduced to several members of the Dirty Aces MC: Malcolm and Naomi, Devlin, Silas, Nash, Preston and Fiasco, as well as nurses Joanna and Casey. There may be something developing between Fiasco and Joanna.

WIRTH is a story of betrayal, vengeance, power and control. The Irish Mafia is threatened by the arrival of the Dirty Aces MC and the merging of two powerful groups, targeting the bikers for encroaching on their territory. The premise is fast paced and engaging; the characters are energetic and wild; the romance is based solely on sexual attraction. I did struggle with the conflict resolution-a little clean and neat under the circumstances.
