Title: Demon in the Shadows

Silas/Maverick

Family secrets will inevitably surface, shattering the deep trust we’ve built over the years. In my situation, the concealed aspects of my life, hidden from my wife, were forcefully brought into the light. This not only fractured our trust but also jeopardized everything I hold dear. My biggest mistake was believing I Silas “Maverick” Bouvier was untouchable.

In my role as the President of the Royal Bastards MC Atlanta, GA Chapter, my duty revolves around safeguarding my club and its members.

Simultaneously, as Emberlynne’s husband, my duty revolves around protecting her from the dangers hidden amongst the perfect life I created for us.

The coexistence of my dual life was never my intention. Yet, to rescue the love of my life, the inner demon must emerge from the shadows to exact retribution on those who have taken her.

The pivotal question lingers—when she discovers my true identity, will she be able to gaze into my eyes with forgiveness and love for the man she married? Or will she perceive a stranger, harboring resentment for the monster who saved her life?

Demon In The Shadows includes steamy scenes, harsh language, kidnapping, violence, revenge, and dark content.

I’ve always believed in the concept of “love conquers all.” I’m a down-to-earth woman, married to the love of my life, and a hopeless romantic. I started my reading journey with The Secret of The Old Clock by Nancy Drew and I’ve never looked back. I fell in love with words because they create change and force you to use your imagination.

With encouragement from my Husband, I continued my journey by creating my blog The Erotic Book Review. Blogging has given me an outlet to discuss my love of Erotic Romance with like-minded people which catapulted me into becoming an author.

I live in North Georgia and I’ve been married to the love of my life for over 30 years. When I’m not writing, I enjoy reading and working out. I love meeting new people, enjoy learning about other cultures, watching football, and binge-watching TV shows.

One quote I live by… “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Wow! Secrets can destroy a relationship, even if they were meant to protect.

I loved this story of Silas/Maverick and Emberlynn. They were perfect together on paper, but when the past comes back to taunt them both, their lives will unravel and leave them both heartbroken. It’s a bit dark, but I loved it! I mean he is a Demon in the Shadows. 😈

I loved the characters in this story and I can’t wait to read more of the Atlanta, GA chapter. I welcome Thetta James and I bought her Rebel Souls Series so that I can read more of her books. I’ve found another new to me author to follow, YAY!

THE CREED (Detective Jason Smith #30) by
Stewart Giles

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the
Detective Jason Smith.
Detective Sergeant Jason Smith thought he’d seen every kind of murderer there was to see.
Until now.
When the body of a man is found in an alley, Smith thinks it’s just one more unlucky soul in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
But why was his index finger severed, and shoved inside his mouth?
When another corpse is discovered with a finger in his mouth, Smith is baffled.
He gets a break in the investigation in the form of an anonymous call from a woman who claims to
know why the men had to die, but the trail hits a dead end when Smith realises what he’s dealing
with.
A group of people are hell bent on killing, but every one of them has pledged a vow of silence to the
creed they hold sacred.
As the bodies keep on piling up, Smith wonders if the silent killers devoted to The Creed are going to
be the ones to finally outsmart him.

What readers are saying about THE CREED:
I adore this series and get through the books rather quickly as they are all tantalising page turners.
Stewart has a gift of a twisty mind (that is a compliment! honest!) that can take the reader on a
journey quite like no other whereas one small piece comes into place and then boom! – Misfits Farm
I enjoyed the murder investigation. Smith’s personal life is like a soap opera and this for me is the
addiction! When I reach the end of the book, I am eagerly awaiting the next installment! Once again, a
thoroughly enjoyable read, highly recommended.- Carol
This author never writes two books the same, mind-blowing cases that keep you entertained. Smith is
a fantastic detective and a family man that brings the books to life. I loved it. Once again it’s a five
stars and more. – Booklover Bev
There are usually plenty of bodies through these books, but they are fun reads mainly due to the great
characters. The storylines are usually nasty and twisted, and goodness knows where Stewart gets his
ideas from, but the darkness is certainly offset by plenty of humour.  – Maureen

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them,
I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in
South Africa, where we still live.
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up
with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the
first in the series was finished a few months later.
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be
interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed.
However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall
series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in
Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves
in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-
publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor
series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a
collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was
born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the
more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller
trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another
series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the
Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Another great story in the Detective Jason Smith series. This book has a couple of really great twists that surprised me. I love a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat and my mind engaged in trying to figure out the who done it of a mystery, police procedural story, and Stewart Giles is great at doing that with his Detective Jason Smith books.

Detective Jason Smith is a talented and smart detective that won’t stop searching for the truth or answers until he has solved a crime he is investigating. He’s like a dog with a bone when he starts looking for answers and his wife and sometimes partner in the cases, is a great person for him to bounce his ideas off of. I love Detective Smith and his team of investigators, as well as his boss DI Smythe. The men and women work tirelessly to find the killers and bring them to justice. It’s a team effort, but Detective Smith seems to be the person that always has ideas of where to go next or who to bring in to help solve the crimes. I love these stories and while this is book #30 in the series, I hope there will be many more to come.

Title: Ghost

★★★★★ Amazon Review – “A deeply emotional, heart-racing, and meaningful ride to go on.”

★★★★★ Amazon Review – “A phenomenal read that I couldn’t put down! I love being back with this group of tough, protective, loyal, and loving bikers!”

★★★★★ Amazon Review – “It’s one of the best romance stories about an MC couple I’ve read in a while.”

They call me Ghost.

It’s a name with many meanings.

A hunter. A threat. A shadow in the night.

For me, a haunted soul fit best.

I kept my focus on the club.

I lived it.

Breathed it.

It was the only thing that kept the demons at bay.

And then, Prez chose me to watch over the woman and her kid.

My job was to keep them safe and make sure her crazy ex steered clear.

It seemed simple enough.

But this girl got to me.

She was beautiful but damaged, strong but vulnerable, and the pull I felt towards her was undeniable.

That’s when things got complicated.

And complicated is never good in the world of Fury.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Ghost is focused on the club and his life in the club. He has a rough past. When his president tells him he’s in charge of the woman and her kid to be sure they are safe and protect them, he can’t help but find himself falling for them both. Now he’ll do anything to protect them and make sure that no harm comes to them again.

I loved this story and as always, the characters in the Satan’s Fury MC are great. This was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read more of them.

Ginger(snap):

Stranded in an airport on Christmas Eve, I have zero options and no available flights to reach home.

The weather decides to dump a snowstorm on my holiday plans when the layover leaves me stuck in Denver, Colorado.

In tears, exhausted, and losing hope, I never expected to receive an offer I couldn’t refuse.

A tattooed, bearded hunk of a man promises to get me home and swears he’s not a creep.

His striking blue eyes sparkle with honesty, and his beard, peppered with gray, gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

A kiss under the mistletoe, a Harley ride bundled against my leather hero, and a hot cocoa later, I’m wondering if Santa is delivering my Christmas present early.

Until he kidnaps me, and all the questions left unanswered from my childhood become crucial to my survival.

Brick:

When one of my brothers in the club needs a ride to the airport on Christmas Eve, I don’t hesitate to help him out.

On the way out, I spot a gorgeous redhead with familiar features I can’t quite place.

Before I can stop myself, I’m offering her a ride.

She’ll have to trust a stranger if she wants to reach home in time for Christmas.

But things turn dangerous and deadly when an old enemy follows us.

I end up kidnapping her and heading toward a safe house to keep her protected.

No amount of Christmas cheer can wipe away my secrets or mistakes, but I want to try for her.

I have to get this sweet girl home and drop her off before my past ruins her holiday.

All I want this Christmas is to make everything right and give my Gingersnap a present she’ll never forget.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I am so excited for this new MC world and the Las Vegas Chapter by Nikki Landis to come out next year. My Christmas Biker was a great prequel for this new series and I loved the characters we were introduced to so far in the Las Vegas Chapter of the Saint’s Outlaws MC.

Ginger may be young, but she’s a young woman that knows her mind and what she wants to make of her life. When she’s thrust back into her tragic past, her savior is a man that she may not remember right off, but when she does, her world seems to even out on it’s axis for her.

I’m looking forward to getting to know more of the Las Vegas Saint’s Outlaws and what happens going forward with this chapter and these characters. Nikki Landis is one of my all time, favorite, one-click authors and to have her write a new MC with more awesome authors is exciting, and I’m excited to see where this MC world will take us as readers.

Grace—

My new boss is an arrogant, grumpy brute of a man. But I need this job and the room and board that comes with it.

His muscular, ink covered arms and roaring motorcycle scream bad boy. Usually, he’s the exact kind of man I foolishly go for, but I won’t make that mistake again, no matter how much heat I see flare behind his eyes.

His one redeeming quality is the fact that his sharp edges melt away every time he’s with his girls. Maybe he’s not all bad.

Lucky—

Being the VP for the Evil Dead MC’s Gulf Coast chapter and a single-dad don’t exactly go hand-in-hand, but ever since my wife died, I’ve been trying –and failing—to fill her shoes.

My home’s been a revolving door of nannies who can’t cut it in my world. So when this little ray of sunshine sashays through my door, I have my doubts. But I’m desperate.

It turns out she may be more trouble than she’s worth. Soon my place is teeming with glittering ornaments and enough Christmas lights to blow the fuse box. It’s getting on my last Bah-Humbug nerve. Not to mention I now have to fight the urge to run my hands over my scorching hot nanny’s body, bend her over the nearest piece of furniture and taste her on my lips.

When a secret she’s been hiding comes to light, I realize she’s brought danger straight to my doorstep. But they’ve come messing with the wrong guy. I protect those I love, and any scumbag who touches them is a deadman.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

The grump and the nanny.

Grace is a woman that is kindhearted, and lives her life from day to day and paycheck to paycheck. She may need the money, but when she sees someone in need, she’s there to help, even if she does something that makes her lose her job.

Lucky has two little girls and he needs a nanny, but he’s either scared them off or didn’t find others appropriate to help him with his girls. The Holidays are not the best time of year for Lucky, but when he hires Grace and she transforms his home and brings a smile to his daughters’ faces, he can’t deny that she may be the right woman to help him raise his daughters.

This was a tragic story with a very happy ending, of two people finding each other when they both really needed the other. Grace finds a family and Lucky is brought back to the living with his daughters and family. I loved it and I look forward to more of Nicole James’ MC stories in my future.

Riley

My sister kept her baby daddy a secret, but I have my suspicions and won’t stop until I find her and my nephew. I don’t know exactly who I’m looking for, but I know where he is – the Rebel Vipers MC clubhouse – I hope.

Taylor took off, left her son with his father, and I’m stuck picking up the pieces. Fighting my attraction to the older, tattooed, grumpy biker, while wanting to take my nephew home and keep him all to myself, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. It’s a hard pill to swallow realizing I can’t do it all on my own, but he’s my only help to find where Taylor ran off to.

Tiny is distracting and oh-so tempting, and the way he looks at his son, I melt. I want to protect myself, but it doesn’t take much for him to start knocking down the walls around my heart, piece by piece.

Tiny

It’s not every day you find out you have a baby, a son, but today I did. A baby. My baby. A boy who steals my heart in seconds. But where is his mother?

A blonde tornado on a mission shows up demanding to know where her nephew is, only to find him in my arms. I had no idea my one night stand from over a year ago had a sister, but Riley and her fiery temper sweep me up so fast, not even Lucifer himself would walk away unscathed. Little does she know I have danced with the devil, and luckily for me, the dark angel and I are well acquainted. He leads her right to me.

Building her trust is going to take work, but I’ve never been a quitter. If my time in the Marines taught me anything, it’s that you never go down without a fight. One piece at a time . . . I will make this vixen mine.

Jessa Aarons was born and raised in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. She has had her nose buried in books for as long as she can remember. Her love of romance began when she “borrowed” her mom’s paperback Harlequin novels.

After experiencing a life changing health issue, she had to leave the working world and dove back into books to help heal her soul. She would read anything that told a love story but still had grit and drama. Then she became a beta reader and personal assistant to another author.

Jessa is the boss of her husband and their castle. He really is her prince. Thanks to his encouragement, Jessa started putting pen to paper and creating new imaginary worlds. She spends her free time reading, crafting, and cheering on her hometown football team.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

I loved this story of the biker and the secret.

Riley asked her sister the name of her babies father, but she refused to share it with her. So Riley didn’t press any longer. However, things come out when Riley finds that her sister has been hiding more than her baby’s daddy name, and she’s found herself in danger. Riley gets the surprise of her life when she comes home after work one night to an empty house.

Tiny has no idea of the secrets that have been kept from him, but when he is presented with a small bundle and a note, he’s smitten right away and very protective as well. When a woman shows up and tries to claim the bundle, he knows right away that she’s going to be part of his life too.

I loved this inclusion to the Rebel Vipers MC series, and I loved Riley and Tiny. I want more of the Rebel Vipers now too.

Title: Biker Under My Tree

Snow Haggar is up to her elbows in cookie dough, juggling a booming holiday baking season that’s busier than ever. Right when she needs all hands on deck, her helpers for baking and deliveries fall through and leave her scrambling to keep up with the mountain of orders piling up. Enter Bones, her leather-clad, tattooed neighbor with a talent for custom bikes and a roguish grin that’s as distracting as the view she has of him from her kitchen window.

Seeing her struggle, Bones offers his help—along with the muscle of his biker friends—to get her orders out before Christmas. As they race to make deliveries together, the sparks between them burn hotter than her oven, and Snow begins to wonder if her sweetest holiday treat might just be Bones himself.

This Christmas, Snow’s getting more than she bargained for—because Santa might’ve just delivered the perfect biker under her tree.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

I loved this story of the biker and the baker. It was an easy read and I loved the characters.

Snow runs her own bakery and works tirelessly to ensure her customers are happy and get what they order on time and done to her standards, which are very high. When she notices the biker that moved in across from her, she has a hard time keeping her mind and her eyes on her baking and her work.

Bones noticed the beauty across the street not long after moving into the neighborhood, he even made some adjustments to the garage to accommodate his curiosity to watch her while she was unaware. He has his own business that he runs from his home and it’s working on bikes, this gives him the perfect opportunity to watch Snow and her helper when they aren’t paying attention, or are they?

I love the story and the characters. Bones and Snow are a great couple and the fact that he was willing to do whatever it took to help her out when she least expected it and when she needed it most, was perfect. I’m enjoying reading the stories in the Thirteen Bikers For Christmas. It has a great group of authors and some wonderful stories. I’m looking forward to reading them all.
