Noelle I fled, determined to protect my younger brother from harm. Packing whatever we could fit into my old car, we hit the open road, leaving behind the troubles that haunted us. Our journey led us to Ember Falls, Montana. The small town is alive with holiday spirit, adorned with twinkling lights, Christmas garland, festive mistletoe, and a glimmer of hope that this could be our new sanctuary. We needed a warm place to stay. I needed money. The local bar had a HELP WANTED sign in the window. Little did I know that entering that bar would change my life forever.
Easy It’s Christmas time in Ember Falls, and the town is bustling with tourists. The club is thriving, and life is uncomplicated for now—just how I liked it. Until I laid eyes on Noelle. I could tell she didn’t belong in my world when she walked into my bar looking for a job. Her troubles could potentially bring unwanted danger to the club, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting her and claiming her as mine.
Ember Falls transformed into a deadly hunting ground when a sinister stranger arrived, threatening unimaginable bloodshed if his demands weren’t met. He’s seeking something he can never have—my family. With danger lurking at every corner, I vowed to protect them at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing my life.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5
I loved this book in the Thirteen Bikers for Christmas. I loved the characters and the story was great!
Noelle is determined to protect her little brother, Zack, and give him the life he deserves, she just has to be open to letting her new boss and his friends into their lives.
Easy is intrigued by the new waitress at the bar owned by his club. For some reason he can’t seem to get her out of his head. When he’s woken up due to an issue at the bar after she starts he finds that she’s in need of help and protection. Taking them in is instinctual. Now he’s ready to protect her and Zack and keep them
I loved this story of two characters that found love quickly, and the supporting characters are great. I hope there’s more of the characters to come from these authors.
Family secrets will inevitably surface, shattering the deep trust we’ve built over the years. In my situation, the concealed aspects of my life, hidden from my wife, were forcefully brought into the light. This not only fractured our trust but also jeopardized everything I hold dear. My biggest mistake was believing I Silas “Maverick” Bouvier was untouchable.
In my role as the President of the Royal Bastards MC Atlanta, GA Chapter, my duty revolves around safeguarding my club and its members.
Simultaneously, as Emberlynne’s husband, my duty revolves around protecting her from the dangers hidden amongst the perfect life I created for us.
The coexistence of my dual life was never my intention. Yet, to rescue the love of my life, the inner demon must emerge from the shadows to exact retribution on those who have taken her.
The pivotal question lingers—when she discovers my true identity, will she be able to gaze into my eyes with forgiveness and love for the man she married? Or will she perceive a stranger, harboring resentment for the monster who saved her life?
Demon In The Shadows includes steamy scenes, harsh language, kidnapping, violence, revenge, and dark content.
I’ve always believed in the concept of “love conquers all.” I’m a down-to-earth woman, married to the love of my life, and a hopeless romantic. I started my reading journey with The Secret of The Old Clock by Nancy Drew and I’ve never looked back. I fell in love with words because they create change and force you to use your imagination.
With encouragement from my Husband, I continued my journey by creating my blog The Erotic Book Review. Blogging has given me an outlet to discuss my love of Erotic Romance with like-minded people which catapulted me into becoming an author.
I live in North Georgia and I’ve been married to the love of my life for over 30 years. When I’m not writing, I enjoy reading and working out. I love meeting new people, enjoy learning about other cultures, watching football, and binge-watching TV shows.
One quote I live by… “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5
Wow! Secrets can destroy a relationship, even if they were meant to protect.
I loved this story of Silas/Maverick and Emberlynn. They were perfect together on paper, but when the past comes back to taunt them both, their lives will unravel and leave them both heartbroken. It’s a bit dark, but I loved it! I mean he is a Demon in the Shadows. 😈
I loved the characters in this story and I can’t wait to read more of the Atlanta, GA chapter. I welcome Thetta James and I bought her Rebel Souls Series so that I can read more of her books. I’ve found another new to me author to follow, YAY!
THE CREED (Detective Jason Smith #30) by Stewart Giles
From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith. Detective Sergeant Jason Smith thought he’d seen every kind of murderer there was to see. Until now. When the body of a man is found in an alley, Smith thinks it’s just one more unlucky soul in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why was his index finger severed, and shoved inside his mouth? When another corpse is discovered with a finger in his mouth, Smith is baffled. He gets a break in the investigation in the form of an anonymous call from a woman who claims to know why the men had to die, but the trail hits a dead end when Smith realises what he’s dealing with. A group of people are hell bent on killing, but every one of them has pledged a vow of silence to the creed they hold sacred. As the bodies keep on piling up, Smith wonders if the silent killers devoted to The Creed are going to be the ones to finally outsmart him.
What readers are saying about THE CREED: I adore this series and get through the books rather quickly as they are all tantalising page turners. Stewart has a gift of a twisty mind (that is a compliment! honest!) that can take the reader on a journey quite like no other whereas one small piece comes into place and then boom! – Misfits Farm I enjoyed the murder investigation. Smith’s personal life is like a soap opera and this for me is the addiction! When I reach the end of the book, I am eagerly awaiting the next installment! Once again, a thoroughly enjoyable read, highly recommended.- Carol This author never writes two books the same, mind-blowing cases that keep you entertained. Smith is a fantastic detective and a family man that brings the books to life. I loved it. Once again it’s a five stars and more. – Booklover Bev There are usually plenty of bodies through these books, but they are fun reads mainly due to the great characters. The storylines are usually nasty and twisted, and goodness knows where Stewart gets his ideas from, but the darkness is certainly offset by plenty of humour. – Maureen
Stewart Giles – Author Bio
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series. The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self- publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018. After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before. The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.
Another great story in the Detective Jason Smith series. This book has a couple of really great twists that surprised me. I love a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat and my mind engaged in trying to figure out the who done it of a mystery, police procedural story, and Stewart Giles is great at doing that with his Detective Jason Smith books.
Detective Jason Smith is a talented and smart detective that won’t stop searching for the truth or answers until he has solved a crime he is investigating. He’s like a dog with a bone when he starts looking for answers and his wife and sometimes partner in the cases, is a great person for him to bounce his ideas off of. I love Detective Smith and his team of investigators, as well as his boss DI Smythe. The men and women work tirelessly to find the killers and bring them to justice. It’s a team effort, but Detective Smith seems to be the person that always has ideas of where to go next or who to bring in to help solve the crimes. I love these stories and while this is book #30 in the series, I hope there will be many more to come.

★★★★★ Amazon Review – “It’s one of the best romance stories about an MC couple I’ve read in a while.”
They call me Ghost.
It’s a name with many meanings.
A hunter. A threat. A shadow in the night.
For me, a haunted soul fit best.
I kept my focus on the club.
I lived it.
Breathed it.
It was the only thing that kept the demons at bay.
And then, Prez chose me to watch over the woman and her kid.
My job was to keep them safe and make sure her crazy ex steered clear.
It seemed simple enough.
But this girl got to me.
She was beautiful but damaged, strong but vulnerable, and the pull I felt towards her was undeniable.
That’s when things got complicated.
And complicated is never good in the world of Fury.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5
Ghost is focused on the club and his life in the club. He has a rough past. When his president tells him he’s in charge of the woman and her kid to be sure they are safe and protect them, he can’t help but find himself falling for them both. Now he’ll do anything to protect them and make sure that no harm comes to them again.
I loved this story and as always, the characters in the Satan’s Fury MC are great. This was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read more of them.
He may be a big, bad, biker, but he has a heart of gold. Just don’t tell anyone else that. When Cash faces the single mom’s kids for the first time, he starts to remember what it was like growing up and decides that he wants to help the family, and not just them, but the rest of his mom’s tenants that live in the four family home in NY.
I loved this story and the characters were great! I loved how each of the tenants brought their own sense of being to the story and how Cash was able to see what his mom did in each of them.
Stranded in an airport on Christmas Eve, I have zero options and no available flights to reach home.
The weather decides to dump a snowstorm on my holiday plans when the layover leaves me stuck in Denver, Colorado.
In tears, exhausted, and losing hope, I never expected to receive an offer I couldn’t refuse.
A tattooed, bearded hunk of a man promises to get me home and swears he’s not a creep.
His striking blue eyes sparkle with honesty, and his beard, peppered with gray, gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
A kiss under the mistletoe, a Harley ride bundled against my leather hero, and a hot cocoa later, I’m wondering if Santa is delivering my Christmas present early.
Until he kidnaps me, and all the questions left unanswered from my childhood become crucial to my survival.
Brick:
When one of my brothers in the club needs a ride to the airport on Christmas Eve, I don’t hesitate to help him out.
On the way out, I spot a gorgeous redhead with familiar features I can’t quite place.
Before I can stop myself, I’m offering her a ride.
She’ll have to trust a stranger if she wants to reach home in time for Christmas.
But things turn dangerous and deadly when an old enemy follows us.
I end up kidnapping her and heading toward a safe house to keep her protected.
No amount of Christmas cheer can wipe away my secrets or mistakes, but I want to try for her.
I have to get this sweet girl home and drop her off before my past ruins her holiday.
All I want this Christmas is to make everything right and give my Gingersnap a present she’ll never forget.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5
I am so excited for this new MC world and the Las Vegas Chapter by Nikki Landis to come out next year. My Christmas Biker was a great prequel for this new series and I loved the characters we were introduced to so far in the Las Vegas Chapter of the Saint’s Outlaws MC.
Ginger may be young, but she’s a young woman that knows her mind and what she wants to make of her life. When she’s thrust back into her tragic past, her savior is a man that she may not remember right off, but when she does, her world seems to even out on it’s axis for her.
I’m looking forward to getting to know more of the Las Vegas Saint’s Outlaws and what happens going forward with this chapter and these characters. Nikki Landis is one of my all time, favorite, one-click authors and to have her write a new MC with more awesome authors is exciting, and I’m excited to see where this MC world will take us as readers.
A one night stand based on a double dare that led to more.
Spike hasn’t had the best start in life, but a chance meeting that could have gone much different gave him something to feel proud of himself for. When he’s given a choice, he takes the best one offered and it gives him a door to go through that will lead to so much more for him, including a chosen family that will always have his back.
Ivory is a daredevil that loves the rush of adrenaline and never passes up a dare. When she’s out at a biker bar with her best friends, she’s given a dare that she can’t pass up and it is so out of character for her that she freaks out a bit after.
I loved this addition to the Saint’s Purgatory MC series. Spike was an unexpected plus to the series and I loved his and Ivory’s story. He’s tired of the same old thing all the time and is ready for his HEA, but will he ever find it, and when he does will it work out for him or will other factors stand in his way?
