Oh My!!! A damaged, brutally hurt, left for dead boy that escapes the pain and brutal attack and finds a way to live and find his vengeance, with the help of a young girl he comes across while hiding, trying to survive. The only problem is that the family that took his father and left him for dead is the family of the only girl he will ever love. Their love came as teens when she was going through her own pain and loss.
After five years, he will let his presence known again in her life, but he has secrets that could destroy their love and their future. When her life is in danger, he will get close again, but there are forces outside of their control that are working against them.
I love Manic, he may be a damaged man, but his heart is full for Bianca and she loves him unconditionally, until the secrets tear them apart. Bianca’s family is behind so much. I loved this story and I love the crossover between the three MC. I can’t wait to read more of Manic and Bianca’s story. I hope it’s not too long of a wait. However, since it is a Nikki Landis book, I will wait for however long it takes, as her stories are always worth the wait. I loved the story and the characters and I can never get enough of the Tonopah, NV RBMC.

Forbidden love. Betrayal. Vengeance.
And a devil who’ll do anything to possess his angel.
Manic:
When a vicious threat is made against mob boss Alaric Huber’s granddaughter, my club is assigned the task of keeping Bianca alive. Specifically, me. There’s just one tiny problem with that—actually, two.
Bianca doesn’t believe she’s in trouble and doesn’t want my big, scary ass following her around, especially when she’s attending a romance book signing. I can’t think of a worse assignment than chasing her across several states, keeping the hitmen after her from collecting the massive price on her head. She’s a spoiled, determined, icy princess who’s used to getting her way. Life’s about to teach her a hard lesson.
When she’s almost killed, I go off-grid, forcing her to follow my orders. All I have to do is keep Bianca safe and deliver her to the dropoff point, where Alaric’s men will escort her to an undisclosed location, out of danger and hidden away from the world. Except I’m not so sure that’s what I want anymore. This curvy temptress has sunk her claws in deep. I’m feelin’ things I can’t act on . . . until she presses her lips to mine.
Now, we’re both screwed.
A twist on the classic The Phantom of the Opera.

Except I’m not looking for justice.
I’ve sacrificed many things to find the men who murdered the love of my life. Friendships, careers, relationships… all left behind in the name of revenge.
That is, until I’m given a second chance at love, and I have to make a choice: Share my secrets with the former Navy SEAL who understands me better than anyone, or continue on my path alone.

My biggest fault? Believing I don’t need help, despite all the evidence to the contrary. And the one person capable of aiding me turns my body to Jell-O.
I don’t want to rely on Isaac Hayes to help me solve this puzzle. But the pieces don’t fit together, and we’re running out of time.

We’re the ones who go into enemy territory when no one else will. It’s dangerous, it’s secretive, and we’re good at it.

Excerpt from Reckoning (The Shadow Series, Book 1) Copyright 2022 Shelby Gunter
This was such a bad idea.
I shouldn’t have impulsively booked a flight after my talk with R.J.
I shouldn’t have told Bittie what I was doing or listened when she emphatically encouraged me to fly to New York.
I shouldn’t have gotten her address from the file Isaac sent me when I landed.
Let’s just label all the decisions I’ve made in the last twenty-four hours as things I shouldn’t have done.
Fuck, I have to go inside. I can’t continue standing outside her building like a creeper, and I also can’t stomach the idea of getting back on a plane without seeing her.
Taking a fortifying breath, I walk inside her apartment and start for the elevators. “Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?”
I snap my head up, surprised someone is talking to me. “Oh, uh… I’m here to see a friend.” I point at the elevator like an idiot. Obviously, this guy knows how I’m going to get up to Hailey’s apartment.
“I’m sorry, sir. Guests aren’t allowed to go up unless they’re with the resident or on an approved list. What’s your name?”
Shit. Well, maybe this is a good thing. If she doesn’t want to see me, I won’t have to hear it directly from her or worry about looking stoic while she smashes my heart into a million pieces.
God, I’m pathetic.
“Dax Pierce. I’m probably not on Hailey’s list, so maybe just call her? She’s not expecting me.”
He nods his head and picks up his phone. I tap my fingers against my thigh and adjust my duffle bag over my shoulder.
What if she’s not even home? She could be out on a date with some other schmuck who’s falling just as hard for her as I did.
No, she’s been texting me constantly since she left. That would be shitty if she went on a date with another guy while she’s been flirting with me. I don’t believe Hailey would do something like that.
“Good evening, Miss Adler. I have a Dax Pierce here, who is asking to come up.”
He listens for a second before saying, “Okay, I’ll send him up.”
Elation has my chest puffing out, and I head directly to the elevator without waiting on the desk guy. I push the up button, but nothing happens, and it’s then I realize I need a key card to work the elevator.
Now everything makes sense.
The desk guy comes striding up to me, holding a grey key fob that he taps against the pad above the elevator button. The doors open with a ding, and I step in.
“Thanks,” I say before I press the number for Hailey’s floor.
The desk guy doesn’t respond as he turns around to walk back to his desk.
I don’t even care. My excitement is almost palpable at this point.
When the elevator opens on her floor, I turn left down the hallway, then take the corner until I see Hailey standing outside her apartment. She looks gorgeous in her gym shorts and cutoff shirt, and the little smirk on her face does something to me.
My eyes trace down her legs until they stop on a huge bruise on her thigh that makes me frown. How the hell did that happen?
Shelby is a Romantic Suspense author who loves writing plot twists you’ll never see coming. Shelby and her husband call Kansas City their home base but enjoy traveling as far and as often as possible. She loves all things related to coffee, wine, and books, and it’s rare you will see her without one of those items in hand.
I’ve loved these guys since the very beginning of the series and each book has been great. I love the characters and the women that bring these men down a peg or two.
Royal and Paige’s story was great. They may have started off on the wrong foot, and she may have been a bit distant, but in the end, these two showed true loyalty and love for each other as well as for their Soulless Kings MC family.
I love that Paige could find the strength to stand up to not only Royal, but to Fender as well. She may have be afraid of these men but she knows her worth and her loyalty is strong, so she was able to pull herself up and show them her strength. I hate that she was used and hurt, but I was. happy to see that she had true friends around her that cared for her. I loved the book and I am so looking forward to more to come from Andi Rhodes, she’s one of my top authors to read. I hated to put this book down to go to bed once I started reading it.
A life on the run has made Aiden Sewell a young man that has many secrets and locks his heart and soul up tightly. The only person that really knows him is his pops, they’ve had a life of moving around trying to stay off the radar of his father by blood. It’s been a decent life with just the two of them, until his father finds them and then the danger is immediate and deadly.
Finally feeling like they can settle down a little bit, Aiden is beginning to find that he has a heart that goes beyond his pops, but can he give it to someone? Can he give it to the man that comes in three times a week with his young son? Aiden wants to, but his past holds him back and when the danger finds him again, he hopes and prays that the conversation and clues he left for Max will save him.
I really liked this book, it was an emotional roller coaster of a read, but the characters are great and the story was full of action, sweet interactions, and hard scenes that left me raw. This was my first book by Jacey Davis, and I enjoyed it. I will watch for more from her in the future.
As Treasurer of Dyavol’s Mercy MC, I keep the numbers in check.
The one that organizes transactions.
The one who pays out what’s due and collects what’s owed.
Leon Kingsly is our connection on American soil,
A while back, he made a deal that went sour and put me behind bars.
Years later, there’s still a debt to settle.
A personal one.
And he will pay what he owes, because if he doesn’t,
it will cost him his left pinky, to start with.
Followed by his index, his thumb, his toes…
I will collect what is owed to me, bone by bone.
What I do not expect, is what he wants to offer me in exchange for his life.
Kristina Kingsly is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
She is elegant, intelligent, and a renowned author.
An author with a connection and the key to the information I need.
A woman who has just been sold away by her father.
An innocent that has no idea I’m watching her.
No idea that she is my next target.
And while she’s smiling and signing away her books,
The devil is waiting in the wings,
Itching to have her sign away her soul.
***A Touch of Death is a crossover with the RBMC National Chapter featuring Siege, our founding member’s nephew, and an introduction to the Dyavol’s Mercy MC.***

This was a different take on the MC books I am used to. This story is centered around the women of the MCs, but it was an enjoyable read and I loved that it was different. It didn’t focus solely on the men of an MC.
Elora has sworn of bikers after her last relationship ended. She wants nothing to do with bikers, but when she’s guilted into attending the MMM23 with her best friend, she finds herself face to face with the man that made her swear off bikers. She also finds herself in the sights of the President of another MC, one that is not friends with her ex’s MC.
For someone that has sworn off bikers, she finds herself in the middle of a battle and isn’t sure she wants to be there.
This was a great story, I loved the characters and would love to read more books with them.
Aurora is finally home, but will she find peace and happiness amongst her family? Can she forget how lonely she’s been for years?
Rosen is the top soldier in the Corsetti family and is asked to guard and protect Aurora when she comes home. The only problem is that she’s no longer a little girl, but a beautiful, grown woman with an attitude.
I loved this story and the characters. Aurora hasn’t been raised by the family, but she knows who and what they are. Her childhood was ruined by one tragedy and now she’s expected to return home and pretend she’s someone she isn’t. Can she put her pain and loneliness aside and be the woman her family is expecting? I look forward to more in this series to come.
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.
