Review of The Biker’s Bunny RBMC, Charleston, WV Book 12 by Glenna Maynard @gchellewrites #TuesdayBookBlog

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He was separated from his brother when they were kids, but he’s never forgotten him. Now that he has a lead on where he can find him, he has to go to West Virginia to see him for himself. Static is an RBMC Nomad, he has a family but he’s not the type of man to stay in one place for any length of time, so his wife and daughter wait for him to show up when he wants to and spend time with him while they can. His wife wishes things were different, but he doesn’t feel the same for he as she does for him.

She’s a member of the West Virginia Devil’s Handmaidens MC under her sister’s thumb and always taking the crap her sister dishes out. The women of the WV Chapter of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC are not happy with their president, which is Rosie’s half-sister. When Rosie tries to help out a fellow sister, she finds herself holding the bag, so to speak. She has to deal with her sister after she called the cops, but what she doesn’t expect is how her sister deals with what she considers to be a betrayal by Rosie calling the cops.

I really loved the characters in this book. Rosie is so strong even after what she goes through, she comes out strong to a point, but she has her times when she needs someone to be there for her. Taking on the role of a bunny for the RBMC is her way of dealing with her trauma, but little does she know that her life is about to be turned around again. Static is a great partner for Rosie, they bring out the best in each other and I love them. I loved the book and the characters, and I give the book a 5-star review.

My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

This was a great story and it’s a story that I didn’t know that I needed until I read it. I love that it goes all the way back to the beginning of Blackstone and Shadows. The ups and downs of Daniel and his team is so heart wrenching, but so great to see how they came together to help each other and the support that Daniel’s parents gave him was great. Having a woman by his side that was able to encourage him and bring light to his darkness was great and I loved Sue.

As the story came back to the present it was great to see the chaos and family life that these characters live and share with each other. I was so happy to see that there was more to come from the characters and a new direction for the teams. I look forward to reading the rest of the Dark Water Series and hope that new characters that are brought in to share their lives with this great group of men and women will be as awesome as the main characters we’ve already met are. With J. L. Drake’s writing, I am sure that will be the case. I love the characters and the family feel that all of the characters bring to this series. I give this book a 5-star review and will be watching for Whiskey to come along.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review of Ace (Fury Vipers MC, Book 4) by Brooke Summers @Author_BrookeS

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Andromeda has always lived in the shadows, not wanting anyone to see her or find out her painful past. Until she’s rescued with a friend by The Fury Vipers MC. The MC was there to rescue one of their own women and Andromeda was with her. Her life has been all about pain and suffering, never having anyone on her side until she was thirteen, and then she didn’t believe that the woman that took her in really wanted her. She was the mother of Andromeda’s half-brothers.

Ace is the new president of the Fury Vipers MC. Once they rid themselves of the trash in their club, they took the club down a different path and wanted revenge on the those that hurt Ace’s sister and the other women in the club that had now become family. When he finds Andromeda after she’s been kidnapped, bloody and hurt, he finds that he’s drawn to her, but he doesn’t know who she is, and she isn’t willing to talk about her past.

I love the Fury Vipers MC characters! Ace’s story was full of steam, action, and secrets coming to light. Ace finds that his anger, and revenge could ruin what he has with Andromeda, even though she vows that they are nothing more than two people scratching an itch, no relationship, no life stories, nothing. Ace knows that she’s his, but when he says something hurtful to her, can he fix what he broke? I love the story and I love Andromeda; she may have been broken, but she’s strong and determined. I love the series and can’t wait for more to come. I love how these books intertwine with the Made Series and that they work together a lot. I give this book a 5-star review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review of Peppermint’s Twist: Devil’s Handmaidens MC – Atlantic City, Book 2 by Andi Rhodes

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A strong woman that can take care of herself and a man that wants to take care of the woman he loves but has never met in person. When they finally do meet, both of their world’s crash, and their pasts come back to haunt them.

Peppermint is the VP of the Atlantic City chapter of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. She’s strong, lethal, and was broken but has been put back together by her sisters and their love and caring of each other. When she comes face to face with a man from her past, her whole world goes to pieces, but she finds that he might be the one to put her back together again.

Nico is man without a family. He refused to partake in his family’s business and cruelty when he was a young boy and suffered dearly for it along with getting the chance to get away from that dark life. However, now he’s back and wants to rid the world of his twin and the dark, twisted life he brings to Nico and Atlantic City. When he finally meets Peppermint in person, he has no idea she’s someone he’s met before, but when he whispers in her ear, everything comes crashing down on both of them.

I love the Devil’s Handmaiden MC books, it’s great to read an all-female MC series and these women are just as deadly and strong as their counter parts in the RBMC. They all carry their own secrets and pain, but when they work to take down the dregs of darkness in sex trafficking, they are lethal and not someone you want to cross. I loved Peppermint’s story. It’s heartbreaking, action packed, and hard to put down. I couldn’t stop reading it and stayed up way too late to finish the book, but well worth it. I give this book a 5-star review and I can’t wait for Mama’s book.

Review of Brewer – Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC, Book 4 by Jessica Ames @JessicaAmesAuth @GiveMeBooksPR

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment
Brewer (Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC, #4)Brewer by Jessica Ames
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His life was good, he had his own garage and was doing well, until the day he went to his sister’s house and heard yelling and found his nephew hiding. Then all best were off, he never did like his sister’s husband and now he really didn’t. Madden now had to face his consequences and hope that his sister and her kids would be okay while he did the time for the crime. When he gets out his life is unsettled, until he meets the president of the Untamed Sons MC, Manchester. Then his life is back on track and he’s the treasurer for the club.

Ophelia’s life has been chaotic and lonely for years. Her father chose the life of crime instead of taking care of his daughter and being there for her. She only sees him when she goes to the prison to see him. After years of this, she’s tired of make time for him, he didn’t consider her before he went to prison. When she gets a call from him and he tells her she’s in danger due to something he did in prison, she brushes him off and goes about her life, until she can no longer ignore the danger.

I really liked this story. It’s full of action, danger, twists, and tragedy. As always, the Untamed Sons MC characters are great! When Brewer gets a call from his old cell mate, she knows that he owes the guy and he wants to see Ophelia again, but he’s not prepared for the what happens next. His actions have put not only him, but his entire club at risk and he’s not sure how to handle it. He’s pissed that his old cell mate lied to him, even if it was by omission. Now there’s more danger lurking for Ophelia as well as the Untamed Sons. I look forward to more books in this series and more books by Jessica Ames period. I love her characters and her writing and I give this book a 4-star review.

Review of Havoc: Moonshine Task Force – Book Three Special Edition by Laramie Briscoe @LaramieBriscoe

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment
Havoc (Special Edition): A marriage-of-convenience small town, hot cop romance. (The Moonshine Task Force: Special Edition Series Book 3)Havoc (Special Edition): A marriage-of-convenience small town, hot cop romance. by Laramie Briscoe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

He’s the leader of the Moonshine Task Force, his life revolves around his job, the men on his team and keeping the citizens of his small town safe. Holden “Havoc” Thompson’s heart is locked up tight when it comes to women, but he’d really like to live his life, and not just walk through it. When he walks into a bar one night is accosted by a woman walking up to him and kissing him, he can’t get her out of his head. He knows her and he knows that he shouldn’t have feelings for her, but she caught his eye the first time he saw her standing in the shadows when he went to her house on Task Force business.

She’s the daughter in a Moonshine business family. She’s not proud of her family in any way. She’s the only female and is treated less than a second-class citizen by her father, her only ally is her younger brother, but then he starts to drift away because he has his own problems to deal with. Leighton Strather needs to get away from her family and find a life of her own. However, the day she tries to get away she ends up finding help in the most unusual place and from the most unsuspecting people.

I love the Moonshine Task Force books and I read the original Havoc book and loved it. I love the characters and the story lines. They always bring out a lot of emotions. Havoc and Leigh’s story was no different, the extra story in this Special Edition book was a great addition. I love how Ms. Briscoe can go back and bring so much more out of these characters and share it with her readers. She does an amazing job with her stories, and then to go back and squeeze more out of her characters and story is great. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to reading the rest of the Special Edition books.

Review of Pagan’s X-Mas: RBMC Nashville, TN Chapter, Book 6 by Morgan Jane Mitchell @Morgijane

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment
Pagan's X-Mas (Royal Bastards MC: Nashville, TN #6)Pagan’s X-Mas by Morgan Jane Mitchell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His brothers call him Pagan for a reason. He’s not a fan of Christmas and doesn’t celebrate it, he has his reasons, but he won’t ruin it for anyone else, especially his sister. Pagan has [physically recovered from the fire that happened at the fighting ring at Royal Road, but his heart hasn’t from Jessica walking away from him. He would never admit it to anyone, especially his Pres, but he misses her, and he doesn’t want anyone but her back in his bed.

Jessica knew that she needed to get away from Pagan, their relationship was toxic. She hated leaving CeCe without a nurse, but her heart and head couldn’t take it anymore. She knew that Pagan could never leave Kara, the mother of his daughter, but she was hoping that things would work out. Now she’s back in Nashville, and is starting to date again, but with Pagan reappearing in her life, can she stay her course?

This is a roller coaster of a ride, with Pagan and Jessica, as always. There are secrets, twists, drama, trauma, and pain of loss, but Pagan always has his brothers at his back. It was a good read and the characters as always were colorful, entertaining, and living life on their own terms. I enjoyed the book and look forward to more in the Nashville, TN chapter of the RBMC, as well as more RBMC for the 5th ride. I give this story a 4-star review.

I should know better than to let Tessa McDaniels pretend to be my fiancée.

I’m a dark, dangerous disaster who leaves destruction in his wake.

But when she offers to pretend to marry me to help me get my kids back, I can’t refuse. They are the one thing I have left to fight for.

Milo Hendricks found me at my lowest.

Battered and broken by my ex with no place to call home. When he insists I stay at his cabin with him, he sparks the feelings I’ve tried to suppress.

He’s only supposed to be my friend, but every time he comes in the room, he makes my knees weak.

This gorgeous, tatted, mountain-of-a-man who’s riddled with secrets.

Tessa is everything I crave but can’t have.

I shouldn’t touch her.

Shouldn’t make it real.

But she’s a red-headed flame I can’t resist, and I can’t help but take her to my bed.

Now we’re falling into an abyss of passion and need.

Loving her is easy.

Only we’re tied in ways we don’t know.

I’ll do anything to protect her, but it’s my past that might destroy her in the end…

My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

He broke her heart and now he’s back in her life. Can she protect her heart and keep her secret? Will they have a chance to work things out, or will the person threatening Cece succeed in keeping her from finding out who is behind the danger lurking in the high school that she works in?

Jon left her because he felt as though she drifted away, and their relationship was not as solid as he thought. She had her sights set on her career and he was the one suffering, so he left and regretted it every day for years.

She finally has her career and a life that she is proud of, but she knows that there is something missing. Her life isn’t perfect, but it’s okay. When the kids in her high school start coming to her to talk about a new drug being sold on campus, she knows that she has to find out who the person is behind it, but is she just walking into trouble again like she did years ago? Cece knows that her brother can help her, so she reaches out to him, but his idea of help is bringing her ex back into her life.

I really enjoyed this book of a second chance with the only person each of the main characters has ever loved. It’s full of action, suspense, secrets, deception, surprises, and two people that should have never split up. There are a lot of people that could be the distributor of the new drug, and the story will keep you wondering until almost the end. The danger lurking for the students kept me on edge wondering who would be next, and who the dealer was. I was shocked at the outcome, but I loved that is was not so easy to figure out. I give this book a 4.5-star review.

🏍🔥NewRelease→ StoryTeller’s Tale: Wretched Soulz MC (The Mayhem Makers Series – MMM World Collaboration) by Manda Mellett – My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review Included @manda_mellett

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment
Title: StoryTeller’s Tale
Series: The Mayhem Makers Series – MMM World Collaboration
Author: Manda Mellett
Genre: Romance Suspense / MC Romance
Release Date: February 4, 2023
Cover Design: CTCover Creations





“What an awesome start for this new Wretched Soulz MC!”

“This storyline gripped from the very start and would not let go until it finished. Loved the dynamic that Storyteller has with Sheri! My thoughts were “Man this girl has balls!””

“Amazing start to a new series. Loved Story Teller and Sheri so much. Their chemistry was on fire!!”

“OH MY!!!! I could not put this book down!”

“This book will pull you in from the first page to the last page.”



Being a nomad I spend all my time travelling the road. Moving from place to place, with little or nothing pulling me back to what could be considered home.
That is, until I get a call from my prez, demanding I return.
I make my way back to the clubhouse, traversing hundreds of miles and making use of rest stops on the way. At one, I find a discarded book, brand new, with a date, a dedication, and the signature of the author inside.
I took it as the owner wasn’t around.
Then I was schooled that a book so recently purchased, and direct from the author, was likely to be a prized possession, and only accidentally left behind.
Not usually one to feel guilty, I had this crazy idea to reunite book and owner.
I didn’t realise that, for a woman I didn’t even know, I’d end up putting my life on the line.

Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem author event proudly presents The Mayhem Makers Series.
These standalone novels are brought to you by several bestselling authors specializing in writing twisted chaos. You’ll get all the bikers, mobsters, and dark romance your heart can handle.
Follow us so you never miss a new release, as they can be added in at any time!



“It’s been personally signed by the author and dedicated to her. Look.” She traces the words as she reads them out. “To Sheri, thanks for being a great fan. MariaLisa DeMora, MMM 23.” She glances my way and her eyes narrow. “How the hell did you get this? Are you certain you don’t know this Sheri?”

“Fuckin’ certain,” I growl, reaching to take the book from her. “I found it, okay?”

“Found it?” Her eyes widen. “You know what MMM is, right?”

I couldn’t give a damn. I just want to keep reading, but she’s intent on enlightening me. “It’s a big signing for authors of Motorcycle, Mafia and Mayhem romance.”

“Romance!” Iron snorts. “Why you reading that shit, Brother?”

I shoot him my finger. “Give it to me,” I demand, as Camilla seems to have taken possession of the book that I was enjoying reading.

Instead, she continues in a dreamy voice, “I wanted to go to the signing, but I couldn’t make it to Houston. But this?” She taps the signature page again. “This is a personal dedication by the author. It’s not something a woman would treat casually.” She squints at me. “She’ll be devastated to have lost it. A book like this is a prized possession, especially as the signing was only a couple of days ago. How the hell did you get your paws on it?” Her eyes narrow. “You steal it?”

I shift awkwardly, not comfortable with her accusation. “For fuck’s sake woman, I don’t need to steal a fuckin’ book. I found it, alright? At a rest stop in New Mexico.” I’m probably sounding more aggressive than I should, but I’m on the defensive, for some reason feeling guilty. “It was lying abandoned on the ground. Must have fallen out of her purse or something.” I think back and add, “There was no one around.”

She harrumphs. “I bet she went looking for it as soon as she realised she lost it.” Her reproving stare makes me react.

I did nothing wrong. I just saw a perfectly good book that looked interesting, lying around and took possession of it. “Finders, keepers,” I tell her, snatching the book out of her hands. Standing, I give up any thought of reading peacefully in the clubhouse. 

Going back to the room where I’d left my bag, I start to slide the book into it, when guilt makes me pull it back out. Prized possession. Guiltily, I straighten the corner which I’d bent over to mark my place. 

I snort at my action. Well, Sheri, whoever the fuck she is, had clearly been careless about keeping it safe. Her loss, my gain.



By using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.

Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

There is so much to love about this book, this world, and these characters. It may be 292 pages, but it’s packed with so much!

StoryTeller, Jake is a nomad in the Wretched Soulz MC based out of Arizona. After he was patched in, and taking care of business, he hit the road and hasn’t looked back. Now after five years of being on the road, he’s called home to help with a situation. Not planning to stay in once place, he finds himself thrown into a woman’s life that he’s never met, only because his conscious won’t let him walk away. Now that he’s stepped into it, he can’t back out and he’s not so sure he wants to.

Sheri Secord is a loner, a woman that keeps to herself, lives with a roommate that she barely knows, and by her own description is boring. However, she’s an avid reader of Motorcycle Romance books and her favorite MC author is going to be at the Motorcycles, Mafia, and Mayhem event in Austin, TX, not far from where she lives. She decides to take a chance and go to the event and get a signed book by her favorite author, her biggest problem is that she has to overcome the fear of being in large crowds, but she’s sure she can do it.

I loved this story, and I loved how the connection of the MMM World is written into it. It was a perfect start to this world, and I can’t wait to read more of the books by the different authors. StoryTeller and Sheri have an unusual story to tell of their first meeting, and their connections, while almost immediate is a great story to read. The fact that StoryTeller shows up on his black steed to rescue the girl is a great start to a relationship. Even if said girl is skeptical about the man after what she’s been through. I loved the book and I love the characters. This was my first book by Manada Mellett, but I will be reading more of her Wretched Soulz MC books to come because these guys are just too good to ignore. I give this book a 5-star review.

Review of Cole: Mercy Ring Book 3 by Nyssa Kathryn

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He doesn’t let people in. The only people who know why are his teammates and his sister. However, for some reason he can’t seem to ignore the beautiful woman across the street and when he sees her being pushed, he rushes over to make sure she’s okay, only to find out that the one pushing her is her teenage son. Cole is a grumpy, quiet man that doesn’t believe that his heart should be given to anyone.

They can’t stay in one place too long or her ex will bring trouble to them, again. Aria and Zac don’t put down roots, and with them being in Washington for about a year now, Aria knows it’s time to move on, but now that she’s seen the sexy, grumpy, brooding neighbor that saved her, she’s not sure she wants to move again. When danger finds her and Zac again, she knows that she has someone watching her back this time.

I love the Mercy Ring series and was looking forward to Cole and Aria’s story. It did not disappoint. It is full of danger, action, suspense, surprises, and steamy scenes. I love that Zac is a grumpy, broody teenager, but he will stand up and protect his mother when needed. He knows when to step aside and let someone who is more equipped to do it stand in front of him too. I loved this story and the characters as always in Nyssa Kathryn’s books are awesome. I loved the storyline and the twists in this book as well. I give this book a 5-star review and I can’t wait to read Ryker’s story.
