Slash’s Dove is a heartbreaking and healing story. Slash is patient, determined, and loving when it comes to Aria. She has a lot of demons to battle before she can love herself and Slash. It will take a bit for it to come around, but it does and then the healing part of the story kicks in.
I love Ciara’s books and I truly believe there is nothing she can’t write and bring to her readers that won’t make you sit up and see the world in a different light. She takes the hard subjects and writes a wonderful story that may have you crying your eyes out, but in the end it will also heal your heart to know that there are people in the world that care, and will be patient enough to show that care and love.
I loved this story and I always look forward to books by Ciara. She’s an awesome writer and her books are always at the top of my TO READ LIST!

Mammoth:
As the V.P. for the Tonopah RBMC, I make it my job to protect the club, its secrets, and my pres, Grim.
I’m his right-hand man and the one he trusts above all others.
I take pride in my organizational skills and ability to wrangle my brothers, keeping things uncomplicated for Grim.
Everything is just how I want it.
Until I find a single mom and her young son broken down on the side of the road.
Rowen Casey and little Jacob are in trouble and need a protector.
I’m the best man for the job. I just have to convince Rowen.
But taking on this role and getting close to the single mom and her sweet son awakens a deep, primitive need inside me.
I don’t just want to keep Rowen and Jacob safe. I have to make them mine.
And if I need to slash through every obstacle and threat, including the vicious threads of her past, I will.
The Reaper has claimed Rowen and no one is standing in our way.
Infinitely Mine can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed when read in order since ongoing storylines and characters appear throughout and overlap. There are steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, dark content, a paranormal REAPER twist, and, of course, an HEA. You’ll find a single, determined mom and a possessive, alpha, six-foot-seven protector who finally meets his match.
Nikki Landis is the USA Today & International Bestselling, Multi-Award-Winning Author of over 50 romance novels in the MC, reverse harem, paranormal, dystopian, and science fiction genres. Her books feature deadly reapers, dark alpha heroes, protective shifters, and seductive vampires along with the feisty, independent women they love. There’s heart-throbbing action on every page as well as fated mates and soul bonds deep enough to fulfill every desire.
I love this chapter of the RBMC series. The characters are fun to read, dark, dangerous and yet, they have hearts that are so soft for those that can capture it. Mammoth and Rowen are a great couple and add in Jacob and it’s a great family. I was very excited for Mammoth’s story and it sure didn’t disappoint!
Rowen is determined to get her and Jacob away from the danger that has found them. When Jacob tells her that they are headed to Tonopah, she doesn’t question him, she just heads there with the help of the GPS.
When Mammoth first lays eyes on Rowen, he feels that instant pull and connectedness to her and then when he sees and talks to Jacob, he knows that they are both meant to be his. Even his Reaper feels the instant connection.
I love Rowen and Jacob is an awesome kid. I loved this story and the characters as always from the Tonopah chapter. This story was a bit different with the addition of Jacob, but it was great and I can’t wait to read more of this chapter to come. I’ll pick up any book by Nikki Landis anyways because she is one of my go to one-click authors. Her stories draw you in and hold on tight for the entire story.

Another great story in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC!
Reaper is determined to get his wife back and prove to her that he only left her for a short period of time only to protect her. When he finds out that she is in danger and in Alaska, he heads out to get her back and show her that he meant what he said when he promised he wouldn’t ever leave her.

When she finds out that her husband has come to Alaska to get her back, she’s determined to fight him and keep her secrets, but fate has other plans for both of them. When she finds herself in danger, she finally lets Reaper in to help her and protect her.
I love this story and the Devil’s Handmaiden MC books. Jinx and Reaper have a very dark story, but when they finally get back together they will do whatever is needed to protect their family and loved ones. I can’t wait for more from the Alaska chapter of the Devil’s Handmaidens to come.
A single dad sheriff doing his best to protect his town. A gorgeous stranger caught trespassing. A love never expected…
So, it turns out the town sheriff is a total cinnamon roll. A big, burly, grumpy, hot as sin, cinnamon roll. He found me hiding out on private property. Trespassing. I lied and told him I was only there because I was out of cash and had to sleep in my car.
I thought he’d give me a ticket and send me on my way.
Instead, he insisted that I stay at his guest house—right next door to him and his three kids.
I know better than to let them get close. I’ve been betrayed too many times to put my trust in anyone.
Too bad the air crackles every time he comes near, and I feel like I’m going to burn up every time I look at him.
All it takes is one reckless night to completely spiral into the bliss of the man and his big, capable hands. One dinner with his little family to completely fall.
Only I never told him why I really came to Time River. Now I have to choose to trust him with my secret before it’s too late for both of us…

I’ve been taken captive by a man who wants to destroy my family. There’s no escaping him–or the way he makes me feel.
I was born a mafia princess, the only daughter of the most powerful man in Italy. My purpose has always been to marry well, to be used to form an alliance that will benefit my father–and the man he chooses for me.
But now I’m being used for revenge.
For two years, Andre Leone has been kept as a my father’s prisoner, under house arrest on one of his estates. For two years, he plotted how he would bring my father down. And now, he’s taken his first step.
He’s taken me.
Andre intends to wed me, bed me, and ensure that I have his child. And when that’s done? He’ll make sure my father’s reign as head of the Italian mafia ends–and his begins. He’ll stop at nothing to ensure that happens, and from the moment he touches me, I hate him. But what I don’t expect is that I want him, too. There’s more to him than meets the eye, and as much as I try not to see it, I can’t ignore that not everything is as black and white as I always believed.
The cruel Leone heir owns my body. And now that I’m his, he might just claim my heart, too.
MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Dark, gritty, sensual, and an overall great read.
The outcast Leone heir wants his revenge and he’s been planning it for a while now. When the opportunity comes, he will strike and strike hard. The problem is that once he has what he wants, his plans could go belly up. He’s been determined for two years to get what he wants and return to his rightful place, but now that he has his revenge piece his head and heart are starting to rebel against each other.
I loved this dark story of revenge turning into a touch her die story. Andre can’t resist the beauty and strength that is his new wife, and when she gives him what he wants, but for a price, he is not able to resist her conditions. He’ll do what he can to protect her and return to his place as the Leone Heir, but it could cost him more than he’s ready to give up.
All I wanted when I left Shine, Massachusetts was a fresh start. I built a career and a reputation I could be proud of by putting the worst of the criminal underworld behind bars.
I was safe and away from the turbulent life of the Black Roses.
Until a knock at my door thrust me back into the town I ran from, and into the clubhouse of the man who shattered my heart.
𝗢𝘇𝘇𝘆
I built a wall around my heart after I broke both of ours. I did what I had to do as the future president of the Black Roses MC. I needed Freya safe, and my brothers needed me whole.
For fifteen years, I pretended I was.
Now, I owe a man a favor, and he’s come to collect in the form of my club safeguarding the one woman who has the power to break me all over again.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 5 out of 5
I loved Ozzy and Freya’s story! It’s a great story of second chances and redemption of the love they once shared.
Ozzy gave up the only girl/woman he’s ever loved because he was told that she didn’t want anything to do with him. Freya left Shine, Massachusetts for a better life after she almost died, but her heart would never heal from the dismissal that she got from the boy she’s ever loved. They were both lied to by someone that should have tried to understand, but his power and the towns opinion let him deceive them both.
Now Freya is in danger and the only man that can protect her and keep her safe is the only man that she’s vowed to never see again. All because she believed that he gave up on her years ago. She’s not happy being back at The Black Roses MC compound, but what choice does she have? Her life’s work has put her in the line of fire and she won’t give up until she’s won her case. No matter the cost to her life.
I loved this story and I love the characters in The Black Roses MC series. This story was the one I was waiting for and it did not disappoint. Both Freya and Ozzy are stubborn, but when they finally start to communicate, they figure out that what they’ve both thought all these years was not the truth of how either feels about the other. Now they have a chance to rekindle their love and relationship, but they need to deal with the danger first.
I can’t wait for more from The Black Roses MC to come. Great characters and gritty stories!

MY REVIEW: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 4 out of 5
He’s never seen himself with an Old Lady, but he’ll protect Tara with his claim. It doesn’t mean he has to really have an Old Lady, or does it.
When his brothers start questioning his claim he’ll have to do something to make sure that Tara is protected. Even if he’s afraid of what will happen. When Wrath finally comes to terms that his claim is real, his darkness starts to lift and the light starts to come in, all due to Tara.
This book was worth the wait to read. Wrath and Tara’s story was steamy, heart wrenching, and healing all in one. Wrath has demons and his life was not easy, but when he finally stops denying his feelings for Tara both of their lives turn around for the better.
I loved the book and I can’t wait for more of the Lotus MC Series to come.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 OUT OF 5
I’m a huge fan of Marie James’ books and when she introduced Lindell, Texas I was excited for the series. She writes wonderful characters, gritty, but entertaining stories that pull you in from the beginning and holds on until the end of the book. You hate for it to end because you want so much more of the characters. Even when their story is done.
Back Against the Wall was no different. While it’s not a post military, black ops, or MC story, it has the wonderful characters that I love Marie James for as well as the fun small town of Lindell, Texas that knows everyone’s business and the meddling that goes along with that. The business names are funny, the towns folk are quirky, and nosey.
Chase and Madison have both returned home after moving away and starting their lives in larger towns. Now that their back home in their small home town of Lindell, they are under the scrutiny of the towns folk as well as their own parents. Chase came home to lick his wounds from a career that has ended as well as his marriage. With two young sons to raise and the hardware store his family has run for years, he has to find a way to make a new life, yet protect his sons from their mischief and curiosity. His father suggests hiring someone to help him with the boys and his suggestion is the girl that hates Chase, but he has no idea why.
Madison has lost everything she worked so hard for due to her choice in men. Now she’s home trying to restart her life and get back on her feet. However, her living conditions could be quieter but she’s unemployed, so she can’t get an apartment. Her choices are limited until she meets with Chase, the boy she hates that used to live next door growing up. She’s held a grudge for ten years, but that doesn’t mean she has to let him off the hook now.
I loved this story and the characters. It was funny, sad, and an enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read more of the Lindell Series to come.
Trigger warnings! Graphic violence, psychological violence, domestic violence, sexual assault (not complete on the page), degradation, explicit speech, and sex.
