Voodoo is still unsettled. After his club brothers felt betrayed by his omission about his brother, he is still struggling to feel as though he fits in with the Dublin Falls’ Archangel’s Warriors. The brothers have tried to make up for their show of distrust and prove to Voodoo that he is a part of the club and family, but the tension is still there.

Voodoo is ready to make his final decision about moving on or staying when one of the prospects receives a call from his aunt about his cousin being in trouble and in the hospital. Voodoo rides out with the prospect and a few other brothers to go see what’s going on and help to protect the prospects cousin. That one trip throws all of Voodoo’s problems out the window because when he lays eyes on the beauty laying in the hospital bed, his only thoughts are with her.

Nevaeh has had a lot of men problems and now she’s in a hospital bed because someone attacked her outside of her apartment. She has no idea what happened or who her attacker was, but everyone else around her believes it is the man that caused her so much trouble before that she had to go to his father to help her. She doesn’t look her best to receive visitors or meet her cousin’s MC club brothers, but she has no choice when they arrive at the hospital.

I loved this story. It was raw, gritty, haunting, tragic, and so well written. Voodoo had a rough childhood, and he is carrying so much pain that it affects his relationship with the club and Nevaeh as they begin to get to know each other. Just like his club brother’s Voodoo knows as soon as he meets Nevaeh that she will be his, but now he has to convince her of that. Nevaeh and Voodoo have a lot to overcome and heal from but by each other’s sides they can heal and move on with their lives. I loved the book, characters and as always, the series! The men and women of the DFAW and the HCAW as well as their club friends are always a great story to read. I still wonder how Ciara St. James can make each book so much better than the previous one when they are all so great! I give this book a 5-star review and wait not so patiently for the next book by Ciara to hit my Kindle, it doesn’t matter which series it’s from.

From poverty to power. Jared’s life didn’t start out with much or in a loving home, but as a young teen, he’s now a young man that comes with power and prestige because his father is a man that gets what he wants. Before Jared went to live with his biological father, he was living in a home full of violence and terror. The young girl that he protected in that home became very important to him, until one day when he found her and was not there to protect her. After that day he never saw her again, never heard from her, and couldn’t find her even when he had the money and resources to do so.

Layla feared for her life and her innocence living in the foster home. She was happy to have Jared there to protect her when he could. That one day when no one could protect her and she was broken and beaten though was the day that she found safety and love. She looked for Jared and asked for help in finding him, but no one could locate him for her. Seven years later and the one boy that she could never forget is within her sights again, but he’s not the same Jared she new and loved.

I really liked this story. The characters are damaged, scared, and seeking the one person that understands them and can make them whole again. I am not generally a fan of dark bully stories, but this one was not that bad. While Jared is angry and hurt, he is not as cruel as he could be to Layla. I loved the story and am excited to read Save Me, the second book in the Duet. I give this story a 5-star review.

He’s a prospect in the Tonopah, NV Chapter of the RBMC, but he had prospected for a rival MC previously, but he never wanted to be in the other MC. Now he’s in a better club and around people that care about him. He made a promise to his best friend the night his life turned sideways, and he plans to keep that promise, but from afar. He’ll protect Laramie forever, even if it’s from himself as well as the devil that took her brother and left Toad for dead as well.

This story is a holiday novella that is rife with danger, tragedy, and a wonderful story of two people that found each other when they should never have been together, but the heart wants what the heart wants. It never discriminates against, friendships, chosen family, or age. I love that Toad gets his HEA and a wonderful family to protect him, care about him, and stand beside him when he needs it most. I give this story a 5-star review and am excited for more of the RBMC books, especially the Tonopah, NV Chapter. I love Grim and his Reapers.

Fiona has been on her own for a while now, she may be the daughter of the past president of the Riot MC, Biloxi Chapter, but he didn’t raise her, and he made it very clear when she was a teen that she was not welcome at the clubhouse. So, she made a life for herself and avoided the club. Her best friend is the old lady of a member from the Jacksonville Chapter, and they have called in the Biloxi Chapter to protect Fiona after she has been abused by her live in fiancé. She doesn’t feel that they will help her because she’s distanced herself, and some take notice and make comments, but most of them still view her as family, even though her father is no longer living.

The one man that is the reason Fiona was banned from the clubhouse shows up to help her out with the others, but there’s tension there. Not because he knows about the past, but because he feels that Fiona never wanted any part of being an MC princess. Cynic and Fiona are pushed together and have to make the best of their circumstances. When Fiona gets some information that changes her reaction to Cynic, things begin to heat up.

I really liked Cynic and Fiona’s story. There was a lot going on and the chemistry between these two was great. I love the characters and the story. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Riot MC books.

His family is hated by many, but he and his younger brother are not part of his father’s life. In fact, they are working against them, but just their last name King, causes many to avoid them. Cassio and Luca are determined to shut down their father’s business and rid the world of him and their half-brother that stands by his side. When Cassio and Luca are called in by the head of the Irish Mafia to help rescue a young British girl that was taken by the King’s, Cassio feels a strong connection to the young teen, but he believes it to be just that he is disgusted with how she has been treated and that his father kidnapped her to begin with.

Cassio and Luca are making a name for themselves in their business and in going against their father’s business, them along with their closest friends are battling against the human trafficking ring. They don’t claim to be good guys, but they have more morals than their families that they came from. Cassio and Áine meet again fourteen years later and Cassio can’t seem to get the girl off his mind, and she feels a connection, but has no idea why. Áine finds that everything she thought about her life has been manipulated, but Cassio will stand by her side through anything.

Their story is beautiful, painful, and rough, but so worth the read. I love the characters in this series and the stories always leave me wanting so much more of the characters. Cassio is a brutal man, but he has such a sweet side. I give this book at 5-star review and can’t wait to read more of the Belles & Mobsters Series.

Alex Reggiano is just trying to get through college with his head down and his football career intact. He has goals and getting involved in the secret society on campus and acting or hanging around with those that are involved does not interest him in the least. However, fate is a funny thing and Alex’s fate is being played with.

Victoria Bianci has transferred from a community college to Stonewall University to complete her college education. Her move in day is full of surprises when most of her family decides to go with her to move her into the apartment with her childhood best friend. Luckily her best friend is not there right now, but when her Uncle Riggs shows up in the door with a mountain of a man and introduces her to her new neighbor, Victoria is ready to crawl into a hole. Her family can be a bit much, I mean, she is related to the mafia as well as a well-known MC.

I loved this story in The Power and Privilege Series. It has the familiarity of the Satan’s Knights MC and Parrish as well as the intensity and danger I’ve come to expect and love from Janine Infante Bosco’s writing. Alex and Victoria start off with a sour taste, but circumstances change, and Alex can’t let Victoria follow through with her plan and stay safe, so he steps up to make sure she is safe. When the get to know each other, their feelings begin to show and then their world is turned upside down. Things get quiet again, but for how long? Alex has a decision to make, and his future is held in the balance of that decision. I give this book a 5-star review and am looking forward to reading Deceit and Deception. I highly suggest any of Janine Infante Bosco’s books, they will stay with you for a long time after you’ve finished it.
