This Christmas, Lash will get far more than he bargained for.

Lash

All I want for Christmas is her.

The spit fire of a woman with fire red hair and poison laced barbed wire wrapped around her tongue.

Sienna drives me wild. Feral.

From the second she slapped my face for grabbing her ass, I knew that she’d be mine.

Sienna will make the sweetest Christmas present I’ve ever had…if only she’d stop denying the sparks burning between us.

Rae is a dark romance author. She writes gritty bad boys and strong heroines. All her characters are flawed in some way but have redeeming qualities.

She enjoys binge reading stories that make her gasp and writing stories that make people do the same.

She is a jack of many trades and queen of her own little universe.

She’s has three little ones, and one fur baby named Scar.

She’s an optimist for others and a cynic for herself.

You can catch her daydreaming most days and writing all the others.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

She’s not at the party for the same reasons as the other women. She’s there as a protector, but that doesn’t stop Lash form pursuing her. She just has to figure out a way to stay out of his sights, but he’s relentless.

Lash is tired of the same women and sex that is meaningless. He’d like someone for himself, but he’s such a grump and can’t seem to find anyone that suits him. That is until the night of the party and the one woman that is standing off to the side by herself, trying to look small and inconspicuous.

I enjoyed this story of how Sienna finally opens her heart and soul to someone that can help her. I was ready to slap her a few times, but Lash took care of her doubts and her tendency to go off on her own. I loved the characters and the story was well written and enjoyable.

When Holly Barnes is faced with the death of her long-time boyfriend, then the betrayal of his mother, she realizes she’s going to need another job in order to make sure her daughters have a Christmas at all. Working as a CPA by day and a bartender at night, she’s burning the candle at both ends, but will do whatever she has to do in order to make her girls smile.

A chance meeting at the grocery store puts her in the sights of the handsome club president of the local motorcycle club and soon, they’re seeing one another. He’s everything her ex wasn’t; faithful, loyal, kind, but a misunderstanding sends her running.

Jonah “Rebel” Sherman has known loss and vowed he would never find himself in that position again. That went out the window the day he met Holly and her two little girls in the produce section of the grocery store. She calls to his soul and for the first time in a long time, he has a peace inside, one that has him thinking of the future.

But when the past shows up close to Christmas and causes a ruckus, Holly decides to flee instead of fight. Only… she doesn’t realize that Rebel isn’t the president of the Steel Raiders MC for nothing; he sets out to win her heart completely and he uses two precocious elves to help him achieve his goal.

I am a transplanted Yankee, moving from upstate New York when I was a teenager. I’m a mom of four and grandma of nine who has found a love of traveling that I never knew existed! I live with the brat-cat pack (all rescues) as well as my dog, Bosco, ‘deep in the heart of Texas’, as I plot and plan who will get to “talk” next!

Holly and Rebel were great!

A chance meeting leads to a forever HEA. Rebel needs groceries and while shopping he finds so much more than what he was looking for.

Holly is struggling to keep afloat and make a happy life for her and her daughters, but her new job and an chance meeting could make all the difference.

Loved the character and the story. It was a sweet Meet Cute, with a Biker President and a mom raising her two daughters on her own and struggling to keep her late boyfriends mom at bay.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

He may have started at a young age, but it just made him better at what he did. His family is large, in charge, and will do whatever is needed to protect everyone in the family, extended family included. His twin is married to the head of the Irish Mafia, one of his uncles runs the gang he’s part of, and another is a member of the local MC. Maverick is a member of the Houlihan Gang and he makes no excuses or apologies for who he is or what he does.

When her family implodes, Lisa is left picking up the pieces, but unfortunately, fate isn’t done with the shit show she calls her life. As a thirteen year old, she should be enjoying life and living it as a young girl having fun, but fate has different plans for Lisa. Her life seems to just keep getting rougher and rougher until she finds a new family, but the danger hasn’t just simply vanished. When she needs help the most, it seems like fate has stepped in again and paved her path for her.

I loved this story in the Houlihan Men of Dublin and I can’t wait to read more. The characters are rough, dangerous, and all about family. However, I do warn you to please heed the TW and CW for this story as well as others in the series. While they are good stories, they do lean to the dark side and there is a lot that could trigger someone. Please be sure to take care of yourself and read the TW and CW for this book. Brooke Summers writes great stories, but they can be dark.

It’s Christmas and people’s homes are on the line.

Saint

There’s nothing better than being on the open road. I don’t belong to any club or place for long. I’m a nomad for a reason. The day I’m offered for a place in December came, I took it. It was supposed be simple.

But there’s nothing simple about it.

Not when it comes to the pretty buttoned up teacher. She’s turning life upside down and making me see things different.

Christmas is meant for peace and joy. But my job brings none of that. I have to make some decisions. Do I want to move on, or risk everything for a Christmas with the one woman who has jingled up my life and a forever bow?

Time’s running out and I might not be given a chance to offer her anything at all…

E.C. Land grew up in the country and has it deep in her bones. As she grew up, if she wasn’t out on the ball field or playing in the woods, she had her nose stuck in a book. Now she writes romantic suspense stories, specializing in MC (motorcycle club) romance. She plans to broaden her writing horizons in the near future and move into other forms of romantic suspense. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her husband, three kids, and fur babies.

I loved Saint and this story.

Saint is a nomad that is used to being on the open road, but when he’s offered a job for through the holidays, he finds that his life could be changed. He’s not a bad man, he isn’t mean, but he uses his size and his MC persona to get messages across. However, when he’s told by the person that hired him to be more aggressive, he finds a way to get his point across, but it may not be in the way that the man paying wanted.

She lives her life on her terms and is happy with it. If she could just keep her ex from bothering her and trying to get her back, her life would be better. When a sexy biker steps in to help her and rescue her one night, she is happy to find out that he’ll also be her new neighbor. The trouble is that he’s also keeping secrets.

I haven’t read a lot of E. C. Lands books, but I’ve found those I’ve read, which have been recently, I really enjoy. Jingle Belle’s Biker was no exception. I will be reading more of her books in the future.

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.

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.

Title: Demon in the Shadows

Silas/Maverick

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.”

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.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

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.
