A great start to a new Series for Nyssa Kathryn. I can’t wait to read more of the Walker brothers.
Harper is running from her past and runs right into a mountain of a man that takes one look at her and knows that he has to protect her.

So, Cody works his magic by giving her a job and slowly working his way into her life so he can keep her safe and show her that she can live a good life with him in Misty Peak.
Cody and his family have lived in Misty Peak all his life and they’ve had a good life there. He’s now running the family bar. When the scared looking woman walks into his bar with a backpack on her back in the pouring down rain one night he takes a look and knows that she’s in danger. He just has to figure out where it’s coming from.
I loved the story and the characters. I’ve been a huge fan of Nyssa Kathryn’s since her Project Arma books and her series that branch off have been just as great to read. Her books have a single thread that branches out with each series and I love how you can catch a glimpse of other characters. I love her characters and her stories. I am very excited to read this new series and meet the Walker brothers.

Knox
President of the Royal Bastards MC in Knoxville, my life’s a ride on the wild side. Besides my brothers, I ride alone. Then, Eliza comes crashing in, a beautiful light in my dark world. The moment I accidentally hosed her down at that charity bike wash, I knew she was something special. Eliza’s not just smoking hot when she’s soaking wet and angry. She’s a teacher and a single mom, trying to piece her life back together after a nasty divorce. A respectable lady, educated, when I graduated from the school of hard knocks. Yeah, she’s smart so she doesn’t date bikers like me. I don’t blame her. Just as I’m trying to win her over, showing her how a dumb guy like me could love her, her ex-husband turns up cold. Suddenly, I’m in the eye of the storm, a suspect. Sure, I decked him that one night, but I didn’t kill him. I’ve got to clear my name, not just for me, but for Eliza. She’s tangled up in this mess with me now, and I need to protect her, even if it means diving back into the darkness of my past – a past I planned to keep secret. How can a woman like Eliza possibly love an outlaw like me once she learns the truth?
Eliza
I’m a teacher and a mom, curvy girl and proud, but still healing from the sting of rejection. I never thought I’d find love again or attract someone as hot as Knox. He’s danger and mystery covered in tattoos and wrapped in a leather jacket. As much as I fight the pull of the bad boy, he’s determined to touch my heart along with the rest of me. He’s everything I never knew I wanted –protective and passionate, jealous even. Oh, the butterflies. But our potential romance is cut short when my ex-husband is found dead, and Knox is the prime suspect. Every instinct tells me to run, to protect my heart and my kids. Yet, I see the truth in Knox’s eyes, the honesty in his fight to clear his name and mine. I’m drawn into this mystery, not just for the sake of my own heart, but for the truth. But what do I do when the truth is darker than I could ever have imagined?
My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Quite a change from the Nashville Chapter of the RBMC. It’s one reason I love the RBMC books. Each chapter has their own story to tell, but they are a family when it comes down to it. No matter what city or state they live in, if a chapter needs back up or help with anything they can contact another chapter and get the help.
Knox, the president of the Knoxville Chapter of the RBMC is helping his community at a charity event when he mistakenly soaks a teacher with the water hose. Instead of her getting angry at him she gives him a chance to make up for his mistake, but circumstances make them have to wait.
Eliza is a single mom and teacher that is trying to raise her daughter on her own and keep them both safe. She knows there are huge differences between her and Knox, but as she begins to let him into her life she begins to see they may work. She cautious she has a little girl and a not so great ex, but she can see how they could fit if they work at it.
When danger rears its head, and Knox finds himself in trouble with the law, Eliza pulls back and puts her walls back up until Knox pleads his case that he is innocent. Eliza finds that she wants to help Knox find the truth, but more danger and surprises find them.
A great start of a new chapter with great characters and many surprises in store. I can’t wait to read more of this chapter and these characters.
Sky has to leave her family and the man she’s been planning to spend the rest of life with all because her best friend’s bad choices and a tragic night that left Sky fighting for her life.
He’s finally working towards the life he wants until tragedy strikes at home and his whole life turns sideways. Left to deal with the fallout alone, Ethan finds a chosen family with the King’s of Fury MC and gets his life back on track. Then the one person he thought he could count on at one time turns his world sideways again.
A second chance with their ride or die, tragedy, secrets, steam, and a story full of great characters. I look forward to reading more in this series and by JL Quincy. Great start to a series and as an inaugural book. It has all the feels and important parts to a great MC story. I love the characters, and the story, and I’m excited to read more on this MC and the characters.
“Not since Mac in Machiavellian have I fallen in love with a main character so quickly. Mr. Big might even move to first on my list of hot loveable dangerous mafia men. I just love Bella’s writing and how she pulls me into her stories and I quickly get invested in the characters.” -Terra Drynan-Werder
“Bella’s books are a work of art. She not only paints a beautiful picture and makes you feel all the emotions, she brings her stories to life so you live it. Mr. Big is no different. Yes, this story is romantic with just enough danger. But it’s so much more. It’s hot and steamy and, oh boy … that shower scene gave me butterflies! If you want to experience that giddy, butterflies in your stomach, heart stopping emotion of love at first sight…read Mr. Big. I promise you’ll love it.” -Bonny, Lady Bonny Reading
“Love Big, the family, the romance… the only bad thing was I didn’t want it to end!” -Amber Norris
Leonora
I can pinpoint the exact moment my life started to take a nosedive. It was the moment I uttered five simple words to the universe: What else can go wrong?
That was years before Mr. Big — Tullio Bigatti — entered my life, but I knew he was going to be the biggest challenge of all. His looks were to die for, and so was his business. He ruled his fair share of Vegas and was as dangerous as they come.
After I vowed to get even with him when one of his men hurt my brother, he was set on making my life a living hell.
He was about to find out, though, that I’d beaten him there, and my heart was fireproof.
Tullio
Leonora Kallistos thought she could walk into my casino and take what didn’t belong to her. But she had no idea how high the interest was. She was going to owe me big.
*Mr. Big was previously in the Vows and Vendettas anthology and now has exclusive content added!

My 5 ⭐ Review:
Mr. Big was his grandfather, but everyone still calls him that too. Tullio Bigatti runs Vegas along with is cousin. His family history is quite a story, going back to his grandparents. When a woman shows up in his casino and steals from him, he’s ready to make her pay for her crime, but when hears her name, he’s more intrigued than ready to hurt her.
Leonora Kallistos is just trying to make it in life and keep her younger brothers on the right path. When she discovers that the older one is hurt and how it happened, she’s ready to take matters into her own hands to retaliate for the pain and suffering. She’s not prepared, however, to go against the man that she believes to be the culprit of it. When he tells her that she has to pay for her crime and how, she’s scared.
I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more in the Mobsters of Vegas series to come. Bella Di Corte is a great storyteller and her mafia books are full of danger, darkness, and don’t touch her or die vibes. I’ve loved everyone that I’ve read and can’t wait to read more.
This was everything I was hoping for and more! Fisher and Eliza are the perfect match! Their story was the one I was waiting to read and it did not disappoint.
Fisher had a rather rough childhood and he’s convinced that he’s not good enough for Eliza. His childhood may have shaped him into who he is now, but it does not define him. He’s a good man and a great friend. He just needs to come to terms with that.
Eliza is connected, but when danger finds her the only people she can count on to protect her and save her are her men in the Black Knights Inc. It doesn’t matter who her father is, she knows she can count on these men to keep her safe.
I loved this story and I am so anxious to read more. The plot of these books has kept me hooked and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. They’re great! I loved the original Black Knights Inc. books and this series – Reloaded has lived up to the originals. I can’t wait to read more.
Shane is in need of a wife to help him care for his daughter that was dropped on his doorstep. A police officer that is in need of someone to care for his daughter while he works. His desperation causes him to reach out to an agency that matches couples to marry. Both parties are aware of what each is looking for and who knows, maybe it will work out to a love match in the end?
Courtney is looking for a way to get out of the apartment she’s living in. It’s not a good area and the neighbors aren’t the greatest. Her close friend tells her to reach out to Wife for Hire Agency, and she finally does. When she gets her match her life starts to look up.
This was a quick read, but a clean and enjoyable read. While this was a deviation from her normal stories, I loved it and she hit it out of the park!
Jasper needs a wife and there’s only one woman that he would even consider, even if it’s not real. His life hasn’t been the best, but he has one true desire in his life and that is the trust created in his parent’s name. When that is in jeopardy, he knows he will only be able to continue it if he falls into line with his grandfather’s plans.
She was heartbroken by Jasper but her never stopped loving him. When Daisy runs into him on the street and he tells her what he wants, she can’t deny him, so she’ll marry him. However, she’ll keep her heart guarded this time. Right?
I loved this addition to the Broken Falls Series and I can’t wait for more to come. Laramie Briscoe writes great characters and stories. I love to read about the men that will do anything for the women they love and the women that are strong, but know when to let their men take control.
I grew up the daughter of Riot MC president. But as much as I love the biker life, my dad insists I break out and live in the ‘real’ world.
After four years of college, everything is great until the night my boyfriend breaks things off.
Reeling and angry, I wander into a small bar and perch on a stool next to an older man. He’s hotter than summer in the Deep South and he goes by the name Steel.
We can’t resist the spark between us.
One night. No strings, no muss, no fuss.
Except for one snag…
When I find Steel again, my ex is bumming cash from the man he calls Dad.
Even worse, he’s one of my dad’s oldest enemies. Once Steel knows who I am, he’s more interested in my ties to the Riot MC than in the secret I have to tell him.
He’s the father of the baby I’m carrying.
My extended Riot family wants to protect me at all costs, but it’s hard to say whose hold I want to break out from more–theirs or Steel’s.

I’m so proud and excited that we’re doing this fundraising event. As proud sister of a veteran (Army), a sister in-law of a retired Veteran (Army), and Aunt to an Active Army Guard Reservist, I am honored to share in this as part of the Elizabeth’s Trusts, and I hope that you will check this out!
I’ve heard what it’s like to be out serving your country and have no one back home who sends you a letter, a message, or a care package. It’s hard for them, but at Christmas, it’s beyond depressing. That’s what led to:
Honour a Hero weekend!
On the weekend of June 28th, 29th, and 30th, 2024, The Elizabeth’s Trusts are concentrating on a fundraiser solely aimed at raising funds for Phoenix Trust. For this weekend, we are asking you to donate £17.00 or $21.00 towards providing a Christmas parcel for a member of the armed forces.
£17.00 will buy a Christmas box from Operation Christmas Box in the UK, which will be sent to a member of the armed forces currently serving. Christmas 2023, we raised money for 64 boxes to be delivered.
$21.00 will buy blankets, scarves, hats, travel mugs, and many other items for serving members of the armed forces and veterans who may be homeless or struggling. These will be sent via VA Centres.
These men and women fight for our right to live freely and defend our countries. Many of our armed forces don’t receive parcels in the UK and the USA from home. This can lead to feelings of depression, carelessness, and sometimes suicide. By giving £17.00 or $21.00, we can help these brave souls understand they are not alone and are thought of and cared about. Getting a parcel when you expect nothing is a huge joy and comfort and if we can help save one life, it is worth it.
Please help the Elizabeth’s Trusts help our heroes and show them they do not stand alone and that people think and pray for them and wish them all the very best.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
