From award winning author E.M. Shue comes a gritty heart-wrenching new MC romance. Wrecked is the first book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC Alaska Chapter.

At seventeen Scout “Riddler” Keller was left wrecked. Destroyed by the boy she loved and left to pick up the pieces for a new life. She carries a piece of paper in her wallet with her every day to remind her to only trust the sisters in her club. They are her new family and have been there for her and her young daughter through the years.

Riddler was sure she’d never see Thad again. When she returns home after her father is brutally murdered, she doesn’t expect Thad to be the investigator on the case. He wants to start over with Riddler, but she still has that paper as a reminder of what he did to her.

When several young girls disappear from the area and it ties into her father’s murder, Riddler will call on her MC friends for help. But when the truth of who is behind it all is revealed, she’ll have to protect herself and her family. Even if it means asking Thad to go against everything he has sworn to uphold.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Tragic, suspenseful, secrets revealed, action packed, and second chances.

She had planned to return home at some point, but she wasn’t planning to do it so soon. She had a time line, but someone moved that time line up on her. Now she’s in danger in her home state of Alaska. Good thing she has her MC sisters behind her and more on the way. She also has the love of her life behind her, but they need to clear the air first. Scout’s secret is going to be revealed, she isn’t sure how she’s going to deal with it, but she will.

Thad is the lead investigator on the case that brings Scout back home. Their past is unresolved. They both believe the other to have been the reason for their pain but when secrets are revealed about their past will they be able to work together to protect Scout’s family? Thad’s life after Scout wasn’t a happy one, but the one part of that he doesn’t regret is his son.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a great chapter of the Devil’s Handmaidens and I can’t wait to read more of this chapter.

Blurb:
Tressa Powers hasn’t had an easy life. She’s learned to keep to herself. Growing up, books were her
escape. When she finally purchased an e-reader, she found a whole new world— indie authors.
Tressa gets the chance to attend a book signing where many of her favorite authors will be. Real-life
bikers will also be in attendance. She manages to snag a VIP ticket to the event instead of a general
admission.
While traveling to the hotel she’ll be staying at, she gets a flat tire. A tall, tattooed biker stops to help
her change the tire. Even though she doesn’t get a good look at the man, she feels a sense of longing.
Something she’s never experienced before. Pushing the sensation aside, she vows to enjoy her once-
in-lifetime dream. Tressa doesn’t expect to see him again or be in a position so many of her favorite
heroines find themselves in.
Enroute to the clubhouse, Chaos spots a vehicle on the side of the road. From what he can see, it’s a
female trying to change the tire. His mother’s teachings return to him causing him to stop and offer
her help. Because of the gear he wears while riding, Chaos isn’t able to catch her scent. Once he’s
finished helping her, he continues on his way. At the clubhouse, he’s told the club was invited to a
book signing so the attendees can get a taste of what a real biker looks like. Zephyr Hills Phantoms
MC are shifters; something that’s a well-kept secret among the humans. Regardless, he’s one of the
members who is attending. While walking through the venue, he catches a whiff of something
positively delicious. Following the scent of lilac, he comes across the woman he helped earlier. His
wolf clearly says, “Mate.”
When he watches a horrible club, the Bastions MC, corral his mate into a nondescript van, everyone
in the vicinity will find out how he got his road name because he goes berserk.
Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult themes, language, and situations

Excerpt:
“Come on, think Tressa,” I mutter to myself. I woke up to find myself trussed up like a
Thanksgiving turkey. Of course, if I hadn’t gotten a streak of bravery and mouthed off at the
jerks who took me, I probably wouldn’t have taken the blow to my face that knocked me
out.
Newsflash, getting hit like that hurts! My face feels puffy and one eye is partially closed,
while I can taste blood in my mouth. Swiping my tongue over my lips, I wince when I feel
the split.
“That’s gonna leave a mark,” I whisper, feverishly trying to get my hands loose from their
bindings. I momentarily feel like I’m succeeding until fire races up my arms and I realize I’ve
managed to rip the skin open at my wrists. “Dammit. What do all the heroines in the books
I read do when they find themselves kidnapped? Because I know these guys aren’t going to
let me go, at least not still alive. I may not be worldly, but I’m not naive nor stupid.”
Their comments have also let me know what they’re planning for me and it’s the stuff
nightmares are made of, which says a lot coming from a self-confessed crime junkie. The
tall guy with greasy, gray hair tied back with a piece of leather, whose cut denotes he’s the
president of this band of miscreants, has already stated rather loudly that he’s first in line
once the party really gets going. I had to read between the lines, but quickly realized that
I’m the party favor they intend to play with. Now, I’ve always admired the old ladies who’ve
finagled their way to freedom after being unwillingly taken. I even admire their tenacity for
waiting to be rescued, but I don’t want to be that woman. In my mind, these scenes weren’t
so gut wrenching, but in real life, it’s harrowing.
Shudders wrack my body at the thought of any of them touching me in any way, much less
like that. I’d rather try and throw myself backward onto the floor and hope I break my neck
or something than allow them to violate me.
Hearing a noise at the door, I look up and see one of the guys who took me leering at me
before he throws his head back and cackles. “Time’s almost up, pretty lady. Once we’re
done with you, there won’t be anything left for the vultures to snack on.”
One single tear rolls down my face before I can control myself. Seeing it, he laughs
menacingly, and pulls out a knife from a sheath at his waist, walking toward me.

I’m sorry, Nini, that I won’t get to tell you about my brief time with the handsome biker.
Right now, though, I’m so glad you didn’t come with me and you’re not here to experience
this torment.

Author Bio:
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!

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 OUT OF 5

This was a great start to a new MC series. I loved the characters and the story line. It was action packed, just the right pace and has great characters.

A chance meeting on the side of the road leads to fated mates for a reader and cover designer attending the Motorcycles, Mafia and Mayhem Book signing and the Enforcer of the Zephyr Hills Phantoms MC. It may take a few days before it becomes clear that they are fated mates, but when Chaos shows up at the signing on behalf of his MC as a courtesy to the organizer, Sapphire Knight, he runs into the woman he met on the side of the road when she was trying to fix a flat tire. She has no idea what Chaos has figured out, but she is ready to believe his explanation after she’s been taken and he rescues her from a rival MC.

This was a great story and the characters were wonderful. I look forward to more in this series to come. I just recently found Darlene Tallman and started reading her books. I’m glad I found her and her books. I love her stories and her characters.
