His name is Rocky Jones.
Dark, disturbingly delicious, and domineering, his piercing gray eyes tempt and disarm. But he doesn’t affect me anymore—well, maybe a little.
So what if he’s the new president of Hell’s Bells MC? He disappeared without a word, leaving me brokenhearted. I don’t care that he’s back to rule our town and exact his revenge against the notorious Knight’s Legion MC.
Even if I did want Rocky with every cell in my body, it’s far too late for us. He betrayed our love. And so have I. When the club’s vice president, Vegas, offered me protection and a job, I accepted. Now that Rocky has returned, Vegas wants me for himself.
With Vegas as his number one enemy and the Knights as his very unlikely allies, none of us know what to expect from Rocky next. Will I be the future queen of the Hell’s Bells MC? Only if he doesn’t burn it to the ground.
**Rocky Jones (RJ) appeared in Buff’s Reign, book 3 of the Knight’s Legion MC, North Dakota series.

This was an intense, dark read. It was a good read and has great characters. There are secrets, betrayal, twists, danger, and tragedy, what else could you ask for in an MC romance story? This was the second book I’ve read by Naomi Porter, and I hav to say that I am really looking forward to more and hopefully there will be more in the Knight’s Legion MC Series. I give this book a 4-star review.
Sophie Belmonte has dealt with her fair share of judgment. People take one look at her and think they’ve got her all figured out. Nice cars, fancy clothes, impeccable manners. She’s got more money than she knows what to do with.
When someone steals one of Sophie’s most beloved possessions, she hires the very best to investigate and get it back for her.
Working as a private investigator for years, Jax Turner has come into contact with a variety of clients. But there’s never been anybody like Sophie. As much as he wants to whisk her away to his bed, he knows she’s way out of his league.
But if Jax can get to the bottom of this case and find Sophie’s stolen item, maybe he’ll be able to dazzle her with his mind.
Because a woman with that much money would never give him a second glance, otherwise.
But that’s where he’s mistaken.
Sophie’s not the woman everyone thinks she is. She just needs Jax to give her the chance to prove it.
A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
The only thing I was sure of was people lied. They would say they loved you, but their fists would tell a different story. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚, 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚.
When the enigmatic stranger I met once in a run-down diner finds me escaping, he takes the matter in his hands and gives my ex a taste of his own cruel medicine. 𝘼 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙭 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.
I never forgot his warm touch, or the way I felt safe with him for a brief moment before I ran for my life.
Imagine my surprise when half a decade later our paths collide unexpectedly, and I discover he’s part of a powerful MC with ties to my vengeful ex.
After losing my freedom for helping the beaten girl I found on the side of the road, I was determined to let her go. The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine.
I never imagined I’d see her again, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨. Now, she needs my protection more than ever. But this time around, she’s keeping secrets that could get her killed. And it isn’t only her ex who’s on the hunt for what she’s desperately trying to hide.
Kate is a lover of all things books. It doesn’t matter what genre, as long as there’s a HEA, she’s in. She started reading romance in high school and would hide novels in textbooks to read during class. Becoming an author was always a dream she had and finally decided to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and write what she loves. She grew up in the beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan then became a West Coast girl where she lives with her amazing husband and hilarious son. She would love to hear from readers so check out all her socials and sign up for her newsletter so she can keep you up to date on her books and whatever other ramblings come to mind.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another new to me author that’s made a great impression! Linc: The Black Roses MC, Book #1 is a great start to a new series, but also a great introduction to a new to me author.
This story was gritty, twisted and surprising. It starts out with a chance meeting in a run down diner with a waitress that’s withdrawn, quiet, and hiding things. Two MC brothers from The Black Roses MC that happened upon the diner on their way home from a run and then one of those brothers finding the waitress walking along the dark, rainy road at night. He stops to pick her up and helps her out only to be left by her to deal with the aftermath on his own.
Five years later and another chance meeting has these two back together and fighting the past with the MC behind Linc and a couple of sassy women that are in need of help, again.
I loved this story and the characters. The best friend is a great surprise and a wonderful character that left me wanting so much more of her story. Charlie is a woman that is on the run and needs saving, although to hear her talk, she can take care of herself, but when there is a crazy man after her that no one can keep a handle on, she may need to turn to Linc again for saving and protection. I can’t wait to read more of The Black Roses MC and the wonderful characters within the books. I will also be looking for more of Kate Randall’s books to read in my future. So glad I pick this book up.

Malice has so many demons he isn’t a man that has a woman in his future. When his brother shows up in his life again, he wants nothing to do with him. The problem is that the woman that is with him, Apple is hard to forget. When they show up at Jaz’s house for help, Malice has to face his brother and Apple. He fights it just as hard, but when he’s told to man up, he has no choice.
Apple is finding her footing in her career and now has a steady gig in Vegas, but she needs a break and when she and Mark decide to go camping for a few days, they had no plans to see Malice or the Saints Purgatory MC members again. However, when they start to head out and Apple gets sick and runs a high fever, Mark decides to seek out help from Jazmine, twin sister to Soul, President of the Saints Purgatory MC, and best friend to Malice.
I loved this story and this series. It’s been a heck of a ride. I am a huge fan of Andi Rhodes’ books and she’s done a great job with this series along with Lacy Rose. I am very excited for Grimm’s story but I hope there are a lot more to come. I loved the story and the characters and I look forward to more in the series.
Another great story in the Devil’s Handmaiden’s MC, Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter. D. M. Earl has done a great job with this Chapter and I’ve loved all of the stories in this series.
Taz’s story is an emotional roller coaster of a story and the characters as always were great. The family that Taz has found and joined by a chance meeting is a great family. The women in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC are tough, strong willed, and just as dangerous as the men that they call family as well.
When Taz’s past comes back there is a bigger plan at play and the Devil’s Handmaidens along with other local MC and they have to call in their friends The Grimm Wolves MC to help them clean their town up. I loved this story and I look forward to more in the series. I hadn’t read D. M. Earl’s other series The Grimm Wolves MC, but I did purchase the first two in the series on Audible and have been listening to the first one. I’m enjoying them too and am excited for the remaining books in the series.

Skye Jones is an award winning and USA Today Bestselling Author.
She writes dark mafia and contemporary romance as SR Jones, and angsty paranormal romance as Skye.

SILLA WEBB
Backwoods, barefoot, and bad-ass—those are just a few words often used to describe the HBIC that is also the classy and brilliant Silla Webb. Born and raised in the coal fields of Eastern Kentucky, Silla is the epitome of a Southern Belle, sass and strength with a side of sarcasm. All of her amazing attributes bleed through in the fictional heroines she brings to life beyond the pages.
Silla, a sweet tea and cupcake lover, is married to her high school sweetheart and a mother to three fine young men. I’m not saying Silla is Superwoman, but they’ve never been seen in the same room together. Silla is a USA Today Bestselling Author and the owner of Masque of the Red Pen, an independent publishing company that prides itself in bringing authors’ dreams of success to fruition. She’s an Executive Assistant and Editor to many amazing authors, but she often hides away from reality to immerse herself in the fictional worlds that consume her mind.
Silla’s most notably known for her Romantic Suspense world, Buried Secrets and her Contemporary Romance series, Under Construction, co-written with her soul sista and best friend, Kaden Layne.
A new MC series by Laramie Briscoe. It’s a good start, but it was an emotional roller coaster ride with many triggers. They weren’t bad for me, but if you have triggers, please do check them out before reading this book.
The characters were great and the story was a good read. We get a lot about the characters pasts, and and present. There are tragic events that finally bring Hawk and Banner together, but they will have a lot to overcome if they are going to make it.
I enjoyed the story, and I look forward to the next book in the series.
I loved the beginning of this book! I’ve been waiting for someone to write a story that works from the HARDY and Lainey Wilson song “Wait in the Truck” and Nikki did it. I loved how she wrote this into the story and how the story progressed from there.
I love the Devil’s Murder MC books as much as I love Nikki’s other books. She’s a great storyteller and her characters are always the perfect mix of bada$$ and soft when needed. This story was a great addition to the Devil’s Murder MC series and Callie is a perfect partner for Hawk.
I look forward to more in the series to come and any of Nikki’s books that are coming out in the near future. She’s a one-click author for me and I can’t wait to read any of her books.
