MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
This one may have been my favorite story so far in the Fraser Crime Syndicate. Aurelia has so much support and people that love her and are working to keep her safe and ensure that she has the life she wants, and she is not one to look down on those people. She knows she’s loved and is lucky to have them. The only problem is getting her parents to leave her alone. She appears to be someone that is weak and soft, but she is not afraid to stand up to her brothers when needed, or her overpowering mother.
I loved this story, and the characters as always are great. Ryan and Aurelia are a great couple and the reaction from her brothers is spot on. I can’t see Kane acting any other way. He’s the head of the family in making and he wants the best for his sister, so he won’t stand by idly and let anyone step in to be her partner. I love the characters and the series, and I thought A Forbidden Love was a great story. Jessica Ames writes steamy, sexy, possessive men and strong, sexy, loyal women and I love her books. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more books by Jessica Ames.
Hi guys. I’m Skye, a paranormal and contemporary romance author from rainy Northern England. I write Paranormal romance as Skye Jones, and steamy dark romance as S.R. Jones.
The one thing my books in both genres have in common are gritty themes, and alpha heroes who are damaged but oh-so-redeemable!
When I’m not writing, I’m either walking my dogs, drinking coffee, or watching my fave TV shows such as The Sopranos, McMafia, and Little House on the Prairie, yep I have eclectic taste!
Wow, Sasha’s book was a great read. He’s a powerful man in his own right but he wants a part of the family business and is determined to get Nikolai to agree to let him in. He’s just a broody as his middle brother, he’s sexy, and he’s lethal. Sasha is not a man to show kindness, and when he finds himself being a protector, he has to tame his powerful side and “try to be halfway decent”.
Leah made a decision that she’s rethinking now, but in order to. Survive she had to leave and find a way to be safe. The trouble is, will her decision she made put her in a worse spot? Being given to a powerful stranger could be more dangerous than living on the streets trying to avoid the gang hunting her.
I loved the sassiness of Leah when she became bold and stood up to Sasha. I also loved the soft side of Sasha when he showed it. Leah’s past is knocking on the door and she’s afraid of being put out on the streets and having to survive. The Volkov men are powerful a lethal, but they have a lot of decent amongst them that they need to repair to be a powerful group. Individually, they’re powerful, but together, they can be so much more. I love these books and the characters are always enjoyable to read. I give this book a 5-star review and I’m excited for Maxim’s book.
I’m brutal. Crazy. Ruthless. And I won’t apologize for it.
I never believed I would love anything as much as being SAA and taking the Devil’s Ride. Becoming a Reaper and patching in with the RBMC were the best decisions I ever made.
Until I met Nylah.
The feisty nurse owns my black soul.
She’s become the most important person in my world.
My life in the club is too dangerous for her, but I won’t give her up.
She’s an obsession. An addiction. The light to my darkness.
A liability.
When my past surfaces, along with all the bad things I’ve done in the name of vengeance, I know I have to let her go.
It’s the only way to keep her safe.
Losing Nylah forces the monster within to break free and lash out.
Secrets. Lies. Betrayal.
It’s the shocking truth that unleashes the beast I’ve tried so hard to contain.
The twisted devil inside is done with following the rules.
My Reaper is willing to risk everything, even a deal with the devil, to save Nylah.
And there isn’t any place where my enemies will be able to hide.
✸ For best enjoyment, it is highly recommended that Ridin’ for Hell & Devil’s Ride are read before Twisted Devil.
✸✸ Note: This book includes steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, violence, dark content, a paranormal twist, and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who take charge, this book is for you.
Okay, these books can be hot, dark, dirty, and crazy, but the Tonopah, NV chapter has some of the craziest scenes and stories as far as I am concerned. I love Grim’s Reapers and all that they share in their stories. They’re crazy, protective, dangerous, and oh so sexy.
Azrael “Rael” has been one of my favorites since I started reading the Tonopah books and Twisted Devil did not disappoint. Rael is a man that becomes uncontrollable and off the charts crazy in this book and I loved every part of it. He’s loyal, ruthless, and has a sinister side to him. He loves to push buttons and when finds what gets someone upset, he pushes until the other person pushes back. I love Rael and Nylah’s story. Rael’s soft side shows only for Nylah and it’s great.
I can’t wait to read more RBMC stories and Chrome is one I am looking forward to as well. I love the RBMC characters, stories, and authors and hope that they continue the ride for a few more runs. I give this book 5 steamy stars because, JUST WOW! I love Nikki Landis’ writing and her books always leave me wanting to read more. I love her characters and always want more of them and their stories. She’s one of those one-click authors for me.
Let’s see…where to begin… I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever. I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.) We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman. I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels. If I’m not writing; I’m reading. My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!) I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
I love the Cerberus MC Series and Landon was just as good as the others in this series. It is steamy, angsty, and real. Landon and his best friend since childhood, Rick, have a falling out just before senior year of high school, but act as though they are still best friends for their families’ sakes.
The coming of age, finding one’s true self and finding their position in life, Landon and Rick have a lot of obstacles to clear to have a fulfilled life. The only way that Rick can find to cope with his thoughts and views of Landon and his feelings towards Rick, is to get angry and avoid him. However, Landon is done with that and wants Rick back in his life, so now he’s going to take the opportunity given to him by the college and show Rick that their friendship is more, and he wants Rick in his life.
I loved this story and Landon and Rick. They’re finally on the same page and proven by their families that it doesn’t make any difference who one falls in love with, they only want them to be happy and have a good life. I’m excited for more Cerberus MC stories and characters and hope that all of the characters find that one person that fulfills their lives and shows them what they are missing while they’re looking for their soulmate. Life is funny and has a crazy way of leading us in the right direction when we least expect it. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more in the future.

When Liliana hires the firm to deal with a pesky problem, Jagger gets a bit more than he bargained for. Because Jagger quickly learns that Liliana isn’t like most of his clients. There’s a lot more hiding beneath the celebrity façade. And the more he’s around her, the harder he struggles to conceal his feelings.

A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over twenty 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.
“This book is one of the best books I have read this year. Absolutely I adore this author bc her works bring you into this other world.” ~ Spunk N Sassy (Julie)
Gamble clings to two things: the Riot MC brotherhood and a grudge against his sister’s attacker. When his grudge brings danger to an innocent woman, it sends him into a tailspin. Dumping a woman at the clubhouse —as a message for Gamble— enrages the Riot MC brothers, but Gamble risks his life in order to mete out vengeance.
Victoria’s recovery is slow and arduous. He’s determined to help her heal and move on.
After tragedy strikes, the last place Victoria expects to be is in Gamble’s room. She doesn’t want him to see her broken. She definitely doesn’t want his help to recover. He won’t have the patience for a woman whose spirit is shattered. Proving her wrong, Gamble refuses to leave her alone. The more he builds her trust, the more she battles her growing desire for him.
As a public defender, Victoria knows she should stay far away from the outlaw biker. But, the blue-eyed outlaw with a sexy Southern drawl argues with her like he’s opposing counsel. They cannot fight their overwhelming attraction. Their relationship grows and changes until they realize they need the same things.
Justice.
And each other.
Gamble grabbed my right hand, then reclined the passenger seat while I drove us home.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“I’m good.”
“Good at lying,” I said.
“Kitten, it’s been two weeks since I got out of the hospital. I’m getting better.”
I nodded at the windshield. “Yeah, but that doesn’t mean you needed to stand around for an hour with Brute while Aubrey had her practice.”
He didn’t say anything to that. At a traffic light, I glanced at him. He had a big, beautiful smile on his face. The joy in his expression almost made me think he was stoned, but I knew better.
“What are you smiling about?”
His eyes stayed closed as he said, “I’m fucked, but I like it.”
“Pardon?”
He opened his eyes. “It’s always gonna be like this, isn’t it?”
The light changed, I faced forward, and we motored onward. “Is what going to be like this?”
“Us. The bickering, the fussing… and even your girl Heidi fussing over me. That’s how it’s going to be, isn’t it?”
I pressed my lips together. “I don’t know,” I murmured.
His seat came forward. “You know, and it’s true.”
We were in the driveway. I tried to wrest my hand free, but Gamble hit the clicker with his free hand. I pulled the car forward and he hit the clicker again. He let my hand go so I could park and turn off the engine.
Gamble shifted and cupped my cheeks. “You love me, right?”
My chin dipped. “More than I knew I could love anyone.”
His eyes lit up. “Right. And I’m yours in a way I never knew I could belong to anybody.”
“Okay,” I said hesitantly. “What brought this on?”
“You’re mine the same way right? You belong to me?”
I nodded… still hesitant.
“That’s what the property patch is about, kitten. At least for me. I see a woman with a brother’s patch on her back, it doesn’t just tell me she’s off-limits. It tells me that brother found a woman he cares enough about to make her his. And crazy as you might find it, that makes me happy for that man.”
I nodded and his hands fell away. “But some of your brothers haven’t put cuts on their women. I haven’t seen Kenzie wearing anything like that or Trinity.”
Gamble laughed. “Kenzie was wearing one at the Fourth of July party, but you probably didn’t notice because of Stephanie accusing her of cheating at cornhole.”
“Okay, fine. And Trinity?”
A lopsided grin crossed his face. “You might say Trinity made Roman hers, but really, you’d have to ask Roman about that. I don’t know why he hasn’t given her a cut, and God knows Sandy has to be nagging the hell out of Roman about it.”
“That’s not saying much. I think she enjoys nagging your brothers.”
“Yeah. But, we recognize women have rights. Set your feminism aside. If I give you a property cut, it’s an honor, Victoria.”
Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life.

When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

There’s just one problem,I can’t let anyone know that I’ve made her mine. Can I win her heart before its game-over for us both?
I want so badly to intertwine my fingers with hers, but I can’t, and she drops my hand before reaching for pretzels. “O.M.G. It just hit me how hungry I am.” She shoves food into her mouth, and I can’t help but chuckle at her.“Did you not eat dinner?” Leaning into the bar, I watch her with fascination.“I did, but I was wearing a dress.” She offers this up as if it’s common sense.I snort. “I don’t understand what that has to do with anything.”She giggles and rolls her eyes. “Let me school you in some basic female knowledge.” She shoves more food into her mouth. If she wasn’t drunk, she’d be embarrassed at the way she’s acting. I find it endearing.“Mkay. By all means, Bernie, educate me.”She makes a face, and I’m not sure what I said that threw her off, but then she tells me. “If you’re gonna use a nickname, it’s Benny now.” She scoffs.Confused, I just shake my head. I’ll admit, I don’t use her shortened name often. Way back in the day, she introduced herself to me as Bernadette, so it just stuck. I’ve always kinda liked that I’m the only one to use her full name, but I’m not on my game tonight. Between her being drunk and overly flirting with me, the new knowledge I possess about her, and the douche-waffle thinking he has a chance with her, I slip and use her nickname.“Anyway, what do you have to teach me, oh wise one?” I smirk, getting her back on track.“Ohh, I like that. But I think you’re making fun. I digress. When a woman is wearing a fancy dress, there are two rules. One, don’t make a mess. And two, don’t stuff yourself silly or your food baby will show.”A deep belly laugh erupts from me. Between breaths, I ask, “Food baby?”She’s soaking up my laughter, and she nods vigorously. “Yes, you know when you eat too much and it just sits there in your gut, and it looks like you’re about fifteen weeks preggo? Ergo, food baby. You don’t do that in a fancy tight-fitting dress.”My laughter under control now, I tell her, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this before, Bernadette.” I chuckle, taking in her carefree, easy demeanor. Her eyes flash with something.“Like what?” She hiccups.“Drunk,” I deadpan.Her eyes widen. “Oh, then I’ve done my job.”I quirk my brow, “Do you get drunk often and hide it?” She giggles. “Well, shit, do I need to stage an intervention?”Her pure happiness sets my blood on fire, and it takes everything in me to not reach out to touch her.“Stop, I’m not a closet drunk. I mean, you don’t see me drunk because I don’t get drunk. In public or alone.” She tries her damnedest to make a serious face, but the attempt ends up just amusing her, and her eyes sparkle.My own grin grows. “You’re fun like this. Carefree.”She’s being hilarious right now. I know she doesn’t need alcohol to make her funny. She’s always fun to be around. But I realize now that I don’t have a lot of one-on-one conversations with her. I’m going to start craving this connection.“I’m not normally fun?” She pops out her bottom lip, leaning forward slightly. Her scent fills my lungs. I take in a deep breath and lean in closer to her.“No, you’re fun, Benny.” My voice is deep. Her eyes glitter at the use of her new nickname.She attempts to be serious, but fails. “Just more fun when I’m wasted, yeah?”“Nah. But normally, you don’t let me get close enough to have fun.” I don’t know why I said that, but it’s out there now.Her eyes widen, and her mouth forms a little o. I let the silence envelop us. The ball is in her court now.“Well…” She closes her mouth, opens it again, and then closes it.I offer a soft laugh. She seems to gather her thoughts and says, “Well, you know where I live. So if you want fun, you know where to find me.”Well. Fuck. Me.I gulp, taking in her words, and before I can reply, she’s walking—no, running—away. Gia drapes her arm over her as the girls pull her into the conversation. I’m looking at her, still processing the gauntlet she threw down, and she peeks at me over her shoulder, gives me a little smile, then turns back to the group.Damn, she launched that fucking ball right back into my court, didn’t she?

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.
