This is not your typical MC. They don’t all live in one town or in one club house. They are scattered around the world and come together when they are needed. These men have all served time for a crime, all of them. Boss is the president of Time Served MC and lives in Tenillo, TX where the club started. He was a police officer before he served time and the town is in need of a new sheriff. He’s kind of strong armed into running for sheriff, but he doesn’t believe he will ever win. However, he should never underestimate an old guy that has been told he can’t accomplish something.

After leaving Seattle for parts unknown, Jennifer ends up in Tenillo, TX. She went from a corporate business owner to a small business owner and this one is her own and on her terms. She isn’t prepared for the danger that she finds in Tenillo, but she is also not prepared for the sexy new Sheriff either.

I loved this book. It’s full of action, sexy bikers, funny and sassy women and danger. The antics that Paula, Jennifer’s, new best-friend bring to this book are laugh out loud funny and entertaining. I love the characters and the story. It was a different kind of MC book, with the club members not being in one place but I thought it brought more to the story. I love the road names they have and the reason behind them. The first meeting between Jennifer and the guys that live out of town was great, especially, Preacher. I love the women in this book and the old geezers. I am so hoping that Connie moves to Texas with Jennifer. This book certainly left me wanting so much more. I give this story a 5-star review and am looking forward to more in the Time Served MC as well as the Ares Infidels MC to come.

Wow! Leo Gallo, son of Sebastian Gallo and Yelena Yenin, is overconfident, spoiled and always determined to win and be the best. When he was in high school, he was the top of the heap, but now that he’s in college and at Kingmakers specifically, he’ll find himself taken down a peg or two, for a short time.

Anna Wilk, the daughter of Mikolaj Wilk and Nessa Griffin, is a determined, dark young woman that has not worries about taking over her father’s business when he’s ready to hand it over. Don’t consider to be a weak because she’s a woman. She loves her mother, but she’s more like her father. Her parents have never kept her in the dark of who they are, how they came to be together or any darkness in their past and she’s fine with that.

I loved this story of coming of age, growing up, learning about love and what true kindness, honesty, and loyalty can bring you. Leo has a lot to learn about being the heir to his father’s business and world. The Quartum Bellum that the students will compete in during their year at Kingmakers will help to make these students into the people they are training to be at Kingmakers, for their worlds they were born into. I loved the story, the details about Kingmakers, the intense way that these students have had to learn to cooperate as a team and the lessons they can learn from their studies and the competition. Ms. Lark is very detailed in her descriptions of Kingmakers and the whole book made me feel as if I were seeing everything with my eyes, not just in my mind from reading it. The story is entertaining, enlightening and full of page turning intensity. The Epilogue is awesome and steamy. I love Sophie Lark’s books and have never been disappointed in any I’ve read. I give this story a 5-star review and am anxious to get my hands on The Rebel next.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?

Aspen Albright is a woman in need of an adventure and her three best friends make sure she gets it. The only problem is that Aspen is new to this whole thing and when her weekend in Vegas is over, she has a hard time going back to the way her life was before her trip. Little does she know that the stranger she met in Vegas is actually from Chicago as well.

Maksim Ivanov is in Vegas with his brothers and close friends to celebrate the final days of his brother’s single life. They’re there for a bachelor weekend and he is trying to get over the woman he has been seeing off and on for the past eleven years because she’s too commitment shy to finally take their relationship farther. He’s done being the only one to care in the relationship. When he hears some women near the pool at the hotel talking about one of them having a controlled meet up, he becomes intrigued, and his mind starts working. He can’t leave the pool area without looking back to see the woman with the voice that drew his interest.

I loved this story. It’s full of danger, adventure, action and some very sexy, Alpha men. I loved the women in this story as well. They are strong, sassy, sexy and crazy. Their night out causes so much trouble though. The heat between Maksim and Aspen is off the charts. This story is tragic, but also amusing with Aspen and her best friends’ antics. As with all of the books I’ve read by Maggie Cole, this one left me wanting so much more. I give this story a 5-star review and am anxious to read Broken Fighter. If you are a reader that enjoys stories of sexy, dangerous men (Mr. Stranger Danger or Mr. O. O. O.), mafia men, Alpha males that protect their women, and treat them as if they are most precious thing in the world, then you will love Ruthless Stranger.

Liam Strong is a nerd, but a sexy one. His mother and father are founding members of the Broken Rebel Brotherhood and both served their country. Liam has his doubts about his position in the brotherhood because he didn’t serve, but his position has its own merits. He holds two college degrees and knows his way around a computer. When he meets the beautiful niece of Dusty, the owner of Dusty’s Bar, where the brotherhood hangs out all the time, his whole world changes.

Ruby Banks is an only child. Her dream has always been to be in the U. S. Army, just like her father and uncle were before her. Even though her parents try to convince her otherwise, she joins and makes it the training for weaponry. She’s worked hard in basic and special training only to get to Fort Bliss and have her dreams crushed and career taken from her, creating a fight of her life.

This story has all the feels. It’s tragic, twisted, sexy, and entertaining at times. The fight that Ruby has to endure is not one for the faint of heart, but with the BRB behind her and Liam beside her she finds the strength within herself to proceed with the fight and win the battle. All of the stories in BRB and BRB Next Generation are tragic, but the brotherhood is loyal, strong and a family and always have each other’s backs, even if they do fight like family at times. They will always protect those that can’t protect themselves as well as each other. I love the characters in these books, and I am looking forward to Broken Loyalty. Although, I hate to see the series end because the characters are so great. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest that if you haven’t read the Broken Rebel Brotherhood or Broken Rebel Brotherhood: Next Generation that you should. I love Andi Rhodes books and characters; they always leave a lasting impression.

She was taken from the streets she grew up on at the age of fourteen to be raised by her uncle. A man that she didn’t know and that wanted to mold her into a pawn in his world. Her life went from scraping along with her father, after her mother got sick, to living in a gilded cage and being molded into someone that by all outward appearances did her uncle’s bidding and followed his rules. However, Danika Dayal was not the person that everyone saw on the outside. She had secrets and a vendetta.

He grew up on the same streets as Danika. He was considered a street rat by most that came across him and a leader of a group of boys that were constantly on the radar of the police, but Danika would steer the police in a different direction when questioned. Him and the boys he ran the streets with made a big mistake one day when they tried their luck with stealing from a wealthy man from the neighborhood, or did they make a mistake. He gave them an ultimatum and from there Nikhil King and his closest friends grew into very rich, powerful men that were both revered and feared by many.

I loved this story of two kids that find their way in life and a way to pull themselves up and find the power and prestige that most only dream of. Danika and Nik are both people that should be feared and respected for the people that they have grown to be. They may not have taken the honest route all the way and they may be people that seek revenge for the pain that is inflicted on the people they care about, but they are people that have hearts and are trying to right the wrongs being done. I love the characters and the story. I want more of the Kings and would love to read Jayna and Kiran’s story. There are definitely some very steamy parts in this book. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Street Kings.

Rex Valentino is on a clock if he’s going to save his seat as the head of The Society, the combination of five mafia families that work together to keep peace and protect their own, and to save his life. There are hidden factors against him, and he has to figure out who is betraying him and who is working to try to protect him and save him. Will he figure it out in time?  Will his obsession finally become a reality and will the woman that he has fallen for figure out her actual feelings in time for both of them to survive?

Caterina Alfera’s life is not what she has always thought it was and her father is not the man she thought he was. At twenty-four her whole life has been turned upside down and she has to find a way to balance the love of her father and the man that she has always avoided at all costs, only to figure out that she really does not hate the man.

I loved the conclusion to the King of Beasts Duet. The story is full of deception, families that will do their best to protect everyone they consider family, and the danger of the mafia and their battle with law enforcement. I loved the characters and the story. Catrina is a bit naïve, but she’s also a woman that has lost already and can’t think of losing anyone else that she loves, and this can put her life in danger as well as put others in danger. Her naivety is a dangerous thing for her in the life that she finds herself. I loved the book and give it a 5-star review. I want to pick up Massimo’s story, Lost Raven, and read it as well.

Damion Pride and Finn Envy are best friends that started their own business after college. They both come from families that were part of the Deadly Sins Syndicate but want their business to be on the up and up.  When Damion’s uncle wants to join forces with them their lives take on more than they were expecting.

Nixon Ryder works for Damion Pride’s uncle and is trying to bring them together to work as a team. However, Nixon is hiding a huge secret and when it comes to light the danger is amped up.

I enjoyed this story, it is a bit twisted, but it is good. The characters are likeable and entertaining, but a bit on the arrogant side. Of course, if you are part of the Deadly Sins Syndicate, you have the right to be arrogant. There were a few things that I still have questions about after finishing the book, but perhaps they will be answered in the next one. I give the book a 4-star review and am waiting for Finn’s story to see if I get the answers I have. K. L. Ramsey has a knack for writing stories that draw you in right away and Pride was no different. It was hard to put down to go to bed because I wanted to know what was going to happen. There’s danger, Alpha males, twisted family connections and a very sassy woman in this story.

She’s a woman that has felt as if she’s a burden on her family for a long time. Her disability has put her at a disadvantage for some things in her life. Lelani Mancini is the niece of Arturo Mancini, the man that now leads the Mancini Family Mafia. She’s also a pawn and is to be used to unite two families. Each family has their reasons for wanting the union, but she is not happy with not having the choice or with having to marry a man that she doesn’t know.

Austin is a member of the Kings of Retribution MC, Montana Chapter. He has his own ghosts that he keeps hidden from most. He doesn’t like to talk about his childhood or how his life changed one tragic night. He found the Kings of Retribution MC and has had a good life since he’s been a member. They are his family by choice.

I really enjoyed this story of two unlikely people meeting by chance and each finding the person that could heal their hearts. Lelani has a lot to overcome since she hasn’t felt as if she is wanted or cared about for a long time. It will take some convincing and a lot of looking inside herself to find the woman that she is meant to be and the life that she deserves. The secret she is keeping hidden could be lethal to the Kings, but she will soon learn that they will back her and keep her safe. I love Austin, he’s a tough guy with a soft heart and loyal man. His grandfather is a great character too. I loved the characters in this story as well as the story line. I give it a 5-star review and look forward to more in the series to read.

Rebecca Esmeralda Hugh is an artist and is from an elite family in New York City. She was taken in by her grandmother, a very rich and well-known member of the elite in New York when tragedy struck her family. She has also become the obsession of two monsters. The only questions are, which one is worse, and which one will win the battle to claim her?

Lucian Cortez had a rough start in life, but when he finally found his family and was able to get out of the terrible world he was in, he became a man with a name and an empire to back him. He has dark secrets but when he finds out that Esmeralda is in the crosshairs of a monster, he will make her his wife and keep her safe, but will she agree to the marriage?

This is a dark, twisted story of two people that have had to survive without the comfort of love for a lot of their lives and need to find a way to show love. Esmeralda grew up in a loving household until tragedy struck and then her life was a battle to survive and make her grandmother happy. Lucian started out in a dark world and overcame the streets as a teen and lived with his father and grandfather, but not all families show love to each other and with all of the secrets in Lucian’s family surrounding his mother, Lucian has little respect for his father or grandfather, until he learns the truth. I really love dark stories and V. F. Mason knows how to write dark and twisted. I loved Lucian’s Reign and it helped to see some of the background of the Cortez family and the boys that will grow up to be the Four Dark Horsemen. I can’t wait for more in this series. I loved reading about the families of the Four Dark Horsemen and some of the background of their lives. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more books by V.F. Mason, she’s a favorite author of mine and I love reading anything by her.
