Review of Thunder (Hell’s Handlers MC) by Lily Atlas @EJBookPromos @lillyatlas

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

He’s the entertainer, the fun guy but he won’t give his heart to any woman. His childhood made sure of that. The new little waitress at the diner has his head all kinds of messed up though. Thunder has never had a real family so the MC men and their women are his family and he couldn’t be happier when he is patched into Hell’s Handlers MC. At his patching in party he thinks he might be able to get the waitress out of his system when he finds her behind the bar, so he tries to take her to bed, but she won’t give in.

Mackenna has too many responsibilities as a 23-year-old woman. Her 4 siblings have been her world for too many years and now that she is responsible for them and the roof over their heads and food on the table, she has to concentrate on her job and family. She can’t have a relationship because they may have to leave town on short notice, and she doesn’t want something to prevent her from thinking of her family. She has secrets and needs to keep her family safe at all costs.

I loved this story. It is a story of two people that come from a turbulent childhood that formed who they are now, but they both want more out of life. They are both afraid to take what they want because their hearts have been damaged in the past. The Hell’s Handlers have a lot going on. They are worried about another attack from a rival MC, yet they will always protect those that work for them or are a part of their family no matter what. The story was full of action, deception, dangerous men and strong, sassy women. The story is not the normal MC story of rival MC’s fighting, there is an added threat in this story, and I loved the way it was written. I give this story a 4.5-star review and look forward to more in the series. These characters are fun to read and the way the stories are written kept my attention throughout.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review of Tiernan: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance – Dangerous Doms by Jane Henry

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Tiernan Hurston is now the enforcer of the McCarthy Clan. A young man that started out as a teen with a chip on his shoulder when he first arrived at the McCarthy compound, he has accepted his place in the Clan and family and is proud of his family. He has come a long way since we first met him as a young teen boy protecting his younger siblings and caring for them. He’s always been a caring man and he’s grown into the man he is. Now he wants what his brothers all have, a woman to love and care for.

Aisling was best friends with Tiernan’s younger sister, Fiona when they were growing up. Since Fiona has married Lachlan, they’ve had a falling out and are no longer in touch. When Aisling finds herself in a dangerous situation and needing help she’s not ready for the man that comes to her rescue, but he’s not letting go, nor is he going to let her stand on her own any longer, Tiernan will fight to protect Aisling and help her find her new self.

I love the McCarthy’s and Tiernan and Aisling’s story was just as good if not better that the others. These men always get what they want, and they may not take their partners in the traditional ways, but they take the ones that are definitely meant for them. Tiernan and Aisling need to figure out who’s out to get her and make sure that they don’t succeed. There’s more going on though than what the McCarthy’s can see. They will stand as one to protect anyone that is a friend to the family, and Aisling falls into that category, so she has an army behind her. I loved this story and give it a 5-star review and I cannot wait for Tully’s story to come out. These men are loyal, determined, Irish and very tempting. Their women are strong, loyal and keep them on their toes all the time. They don’t sit down and take orders easily from their men, but they do respect the Clan and their laws at all times.

EXCERPT

“Don’t scream.” He barely speaks it. Just a low intonation from the shadowed figure in my armchair. 
My heart stutters and thuds painfully when I identify him, one elegant leg crossed over the other, lounging back like he owns the place. 
He unfolds his large form from the chair with grace. 
“Wh-what are you doing here?” I catch the back of the sofa with my fingertips to steady the swoop of the room. Damn blood volume. 
He doesn’t answer, just saunters toward me with a devilish smirk in place. Like he knows everything that’s about to happen and enjoys that I don’t. 
Damn Russian. 
“I came to get what’s mine.” He advances slowly. 
The floor stops tilting enough for me to take my hand away from the couch and jab it into the purse still slung over my shoulder to find my phone. I might be able to call 911— 
Ravil catches my wrist and takes the phone away, pocketing it. 
Or not. 
He divests me of the purse, which he drops on the floor by the satchel. 
If he looked angry, if his touch had hurt me, I’m sure I would have screamed. At least, that’s what I tell myself. 
In reality, I’m trapped in his azure gaze, memories of how he commanded my body so masterfully the last time we were together flooding back. 
I find indulgence in his eyes… not rage. Only a hint of danger. 
I put a hand protectively over my belly and take a step backward toward the hall. 
He catches my wrist again and pulls me back. Places my palm back on the sofa. “I liked you where you were, kotyonok.” 
Kotyonok. His pet name for me. 
Kitten
He picks up my other hand and puts it on the back of the sofa, and I have no doubt why he enjoyed this position. I’m perfectly presented for a spanking. He presses down on the backs of both hands, his body crowding mine from behind. “Don’t. Move,” he murmurs against my ear. 
I instantly rebel, pulling one hand up and away. 
“Hmmm.” He’s patient. He catches my hand and pins it down again. “No safe words for you this, time, kitten. But I’ll be gentle.” 
He bands one arm around my waist and splays his hand over my growing belly. “You shouldn’t have kept this from me.”

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Great characters, great story and great read.

I loved this story. It has a Bratva Pakhan that pretty much rules his own little spot in Chicago. He’s a powerful man that has a soft side but rarely shows it. After a Valentine’s Day encounter with a beautiful woman that he can’t seem to forget, and an accidental meeting again, Ravil will go to an extreme that is against the Bratva Brotherhood edict, but he doesn’t care. He lives in America and has his own cell of Bratva, so he plans to change the rules for his own cell.

Lucy is a woman that is driven, hardworking and beautiful lawyer trying to prove her worth in her father’s law firm. After being a relationship for 8 years that is going nowhere, she decides to split with the man that she thought would be her forever. After a Valentine’s Day encounter in Washington DC, with a man that she doesn’t know, nor have a name for, she finds herself in a situation that she never thought would happen. When she takes on a new client, she finds herself in a predicament that could cause her to lose everything she always wanted.

I loved the characters in this story. The men in Ravil’s Bratva family are funny and loyal. They tease each other as well as their leader without worry of retribution. They are like a true family that protect each other and love each other. Lucy’s first encounter with these men is entertaining and the fact that all of the people that she comes into contact with in the Kremlin follow Ravil’s word with little fight is testimony to his power as well as their respect for him. These two will have some trust issues that they will have to clear up and will have to learn to communicate with each other if they expect to move on and have a life together. I hope there will be more books with these characters. I would love to read Maxim’s story, Oleg’s story, and Gretchen needs one too. The twins are entertaining and would be great to get to know better. I give this story a 5-star review and hope to read more about the characters in the Kremlin.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Talon “Wraith” is the VP of The Houston Defiance MC, he was brought into the MC by the President’s son when he was living on the streets trying to survive. He had a haunting, destructive past that made him into the man and monster that now is. He has addiction, but it’s not what you would expect it to be.

Kharlie “Prinie – Princess” is the daughter of the past President and sister to the current President, Zero of the Houston Defiance. She’s having a hard time accepting the MC as family since she has lost so much because of the MC and the war they have with the Delta Militia. She took her younger brother and left the Houston Defiance for a year but is now back home. There is unfinished business between Prinie and Wraith. They’ve been trying to keep it from Zero, but they can’t seem to keep their issues behind closed doors.

This was a great story. It has some hard issues that it deals with, but the story, the characters and the plot are great. Prinie and Wraith are not meant to be together according to the MC. Prinie should be hands off because she is the MC Princess, but Wraith is drawn to her and he fights that attraction the best he can, but Prinie is determined to have Wraith, because she is drawn to him and can see so much more in him than the rest of the MC. He’s a dangerous man and Zero doesn’t want them together, but circumstances will throw them together in this story and they will not be able to fight each other any longer. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for Kevlar’s story. I love the characters in this series, the men are possessive, dangerous and loyal to the MC as well as their women, the women are strong, sassy and determined to have the man that their heart desires.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5

Rosalyn is the daughter of a soldier in the mafia. She had a rough childhood with her parents always fighting. She has been promised to an Underboss so that her father can change territories. Little does she know that there is another man that has asked for her hand in marriage as well. Her life is about to be turned upside down and there is nothing she can do about it.

Devious is the Don of the five famiglia. He is a hard man and doesn’t let betrayal or deception slide. When he wants retribution for Rosalyn’s father, Lex stealing from him, he shows up at their apartment. He will get his retribution but not in the way he initially expected.

I enjoyed the story and plot of this book and the characters. Devious and Rosalyn will have to overcome some issues before they find a way to move on with their lives. The Italians and the Irish are at war and Devious will learn that he is being betrayed. Now he needs to find out who it is that is trying to take him out and why. Rosalyn is a strong woman that wants nothing to do with marrying either of the men that want her. She’s willing to do it in name only, but she does not want to marry them or show any emotional attachment. When she finds herself in danger, there is only one man that can save her and protect her. I give this story a 4-star review. If you like mafia romance stories, arranged marriages, with strong, sassy women then you will enjoy this story.

Review of The Pope (Book #2 of the Gypsy Bastards MC Series) by Jade Marshall @JadeMar74119380

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! Twists and turns, secrets, betrayal and sweet, tough bikers, what more could you ask for in an MC?

Collin ‘Pope’ O’Brien is the president of the Gypsy Bastards MC. He has a history with Storm and keeps her at arm’s length, although, that’s not what he wants to do. He grew up with her and her sister Winter. When Storm told Collin that she was in love with him as a teen he turned her away and she left her home to be on her own. She needed to get away from him and the heart break. He knows that she had it rough, but he has no idea how rough or what her life was truly like when she left.

Storm tried to be loyal to her sister and stay away from Collin, but she needed to confess her love to him. He rejected her and she was heartbroken. She found her way back into his life, but they both try to keep their relationship to friendship, that is until tragedy strikes too close to home for both of them and they realize that life is too short. The only problem is that there is a huge secret that could destroy what they want to build. She considers the Gypsy Bastards her family.

This story is a second chance romance with twists, secrets, betrayal and tragedy. It is heartbreaking and tragic but it’s also full of great characters, tough bikers that are wrapped around a baby girls’ finger, and a family of loyal men that will fight for the safety and protection of their loved ones no matter what. I loved this story although it brought me to tears from the very beginning. It is tragic, but with a HEA. I love the strength and sassiness of Storm and Brogan. They aren’t afraid to stand up for what they believe, and they won’t take any crud from anyone. I love the Gypsy Bastards and I look forward to more of these great characters and wonderful books by Ms. Marshall. If you like tough bikers with a soft spot for kids and women, then you will love Ms. Marshall’s Gypsy Bastards.

I fell hard, fast, and forever… 

But she tore out my heart — left me alone and bleeding. 

How can I forget her, when I have to see that damned perfect face on billboards and magazines? 

It’s torture. 

9 long years. I thought I moved on. 

Then I saw her in the flesh… 

And my heart started bleeding all over again…

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Dante Gallo is the oldest of the Gallo children. He’s angry, protective, serious, focused, broody, and oh so sexy! He wasn’t always this way though. When he was younger, he was impulsive, reckless, and happy, but if you crossed him you saw the dangerous side of him. A woman changed him and for almost ten years he was the serious, protective, focused Gallo offspring. He was in love and would do anything to keep Simone Solomon, but fate had other ideas for these two, and Simone left Chicago and Dante. Her leaving crushed Dante and made him a changed man. To avoid the sadness and heartbreak he joined the service and left Chicago himself and his family to fight for his country. Now, with his family’s connection to the Irish mafia, he and his brother in-law Callum Griffin two very powerful men in Chicago.

Simone Solomon is young and the daughter of a very wealthy businessman that has her whole life planned out for her by her father. Her chance meeting with Dante changes everything for her. Her father is not happy about her relationship with Dante and goes to extremes to keep her away from him. Unfortunately, a fateful meeting on Dante’s part one night when he is going to meet Simone, scares her more than anything her father has told her and makes her choose a life away from Chicago. Little does she know that it will be the wrong decision and she is just as miserable as Dante because she left him. Another chance meeting will put her back in Dante’s sights and although they try to avoid one another while she is in Chicago, fate intervenes again.

I have loved Dante from the beginning of the Brutal Birthright stories and this story made me fall more in love with him. He is a brick house as a young man, but he is even more of one almost ten years later when Simone sees him again. We’ve never seen a vulnerable side like this to Dante, but Simone sure destroyed him and then she reconstructed him and his heart when she returned. Even though he tried his best to protect his heart and himself, he was no match for fate and her path for these two. The Gallo family has had their fair share of trouble, but this book has both the Gallo’s and the Griffin’s in danger. It was tragic, beautiful, heartbreaking and healing. Dante and Simone have a once in a lifetime love and there was no way they could avoid the collision both times they met. I give this story a 5-star review and am so looking forward to more of the Brutal Birthright series. Ms. Lark is a great storyteller and has a way of breaking your heart and healing you in one book. I highly recommend her books but will give you fair warning that you will need to be prepared for tears, laughs, and anger. She can bring all of these emotions out in one book as well. If you are a lover of mafia romance, Sophie Lark is a great author to go to.

Sometimes goodbye is more than just a second chance. 

Sometimes it becomes your entire future.

Excerpt->

I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and being stuck with a name like Whiskey was never easy, but none of that ever mattered much to me. Not until I met her. The kids used to call me white trash—WT for short, but I turned that nasty nickname into my fucking mantra after I joined the Air Force. My only regret was falling in with the wrong group of men. But, that’s how I met her and I wouldn’t trade what we had together for anything except maybe another chance.

He worked for my father and I was off-limits but no one told my heart that. He left me—left us on his last run to America and I know he’s not coming back. If he did, they would kill him—kill us both. I know what I have to do now but it won’t be easy. Whiskey deserves to know about his baby and I’ll be the one delivering the news to him—one way or another.

Sometimes goodbye is more than just a second chance. Sometimes it becomes your entire future.

Whiskey Tango is K.L. Ramsey’s second book in the Royal Bastards MC.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Whiskey O’Brien came from a Podunk town in Texas and his only way out was to join the service, so he did. He joined the Air Force at the age of eighteen and loved what he was doing. They taught him how to fly and showed him places he would have never seen otherwise. He also had a brotherhood, until one fateful ride on his motorcycle ended it all. He was lucky to be alive and to be able to walk out of the hospital, but he didn’t feel lucky because he lost his career, a career he loved. Now he takes jobs doing whatever he can to make ends meet and keep a roof over his head and food in his stomach, unfortunately for him, one of those jobs finds him flying for a Cartel Boss in Mexico. Now he needs to find a way to get out and change his life.

Luciana Diaz is the daughter of one of the most notorious Cartel Bosses in Mexico and her father has promised her to the son of another notorious Cartel Boss for marriage to bring the families together and end the war between them. The only problem is that the son doesn’t want Luciana and she doesn’t want him. She decides to become defiant and choose who she gives her virginity to, and that just so happens to be the American pilot that works for her father, Whiskey. He is happy to sneak into her bedroom and is not looking for anything serious, but fate has other plans for these two.

I have loved all of the RBMC books that I have read, and Whiskey Tango is no exception. I love the Huntsville, AL chapter. The characters in all of these books are great. I love to read about the danger and situations that these men and their women find themselves in. They are dangers, sexy, and loyal to the brotherhood. No man or woman left behind is not just a saying to them, it’s their moto and their way of life. They are always there for each other and will stop at nothing to make sure that their family is safe and protected. The Huntsville chapter has had their fair share of deadly and dangerous situations, but this story is a bit different, they MC is not in danger, but one of their brothers and his woman is. The fact that he is not even patched in yet does not mean anything, he and his woman need help and protection and these men will step up and be there for Whiskey and Luciana. Whiskey is hiding some information from his brothers, but even when he comes clean, they still stand behind him and will fight to protect him and Luci. I loved this story and can’t wait for the next RBMC book or the spin off from Whiskey Tango, Don’t Mess With Texas (Lone Star Rangers MC Book 1), or Dirty Ryder (Savage Hell MC Book 3). I love K.L. Ramsey’s stories and love it when I get my hands on her books.

EXCERPT

Cold, his eyes rake over me. From my scalp, down to my heaving chest. His jaw twitches, his breathing audibly unsteady. Heavy. Rasping. 

“You can’t be her…” To prove it, he brushes the thumb of his free hand down the length of my cheek. Did he ever stop to picture how his little _____ might look seven years after his betrayal? Did he imagine some weak, broken, mournful creature? 

Anyone but me. I am not broken, holding his gaze even as tears blur my vision. I am not some sniffling little victim.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He was once known as Il Mostro, The Butcher among others, but he’s changed, and he lives his life on the straighter path now. He was once the head of the famiglia, but that didn’t protect him or his family and the day he lost them is the day his life changed forever. He lost everything that day and the days after were pure torture. Donatello Vanici had it all and lost it all. Now his life is making sure that his nephew Vincenzo finishes medical school and has a good life. The only problem is that he could lose Vincenzo too, and it would be the last straw for Donatello.

She wasn’t wanted by her parents. She survived an illness, but it left her mute and her parents saw her as damaged and a pawn. The day that she was taken to Donatello’s house and left was the day her life started to look up, but that changed after Donatello lost his family. He needed to hurt, so he decided to hurt Safiya by selling her at the age of 12. She only tasted a loving house and family for a short time until she was rescued by the Pakhan, Mescha Stepanov and once again her life has taken a turn for the better. The only problem is that Safiya is having a hard time accepting that it will last. The only way she can move on and accept her life with the Stepanov’s is to see the past dead and buried. She has changed her name, but her past won’t let her go. She is no longer Safiya Mangenello, she is now Willow Stepanova.

This story was dark, twisted, and brutal. Donatello was a man in charge until he lost everything and became a broken man that just wanted to live his life and protect his nephew. When he and Vin go a debutante ball for Willow Stepanova, Don finds his world crashing down on him once again and he could lose everything this time, including his mind. His fall won’t be of his own making in the end, but he will get vengeance on the man that has ruined so much of his life. This story ends on a cliff hanger and is full of action, twisted scenes, page turning suspense and great characters. I give this story a 5-star review and am anxious for Queen of Thorns to come out.

Sadie

Of all the Bellandi men, Lorenzo Vescovi should have been my safety. The one who would understand right from wrong.
But there’s a demon inside him, a cold-blooded killing machine begging to be freed from what remains of his humanity. 
I tempt him. I tease him, just by being me.
And when war erupts all around us, I have to hope I’m strong enough to withstand the flames of his possession.

Enzo

Of all the women in the world, Sadie is the one I should stay the farthest away from. The one my boss forbids me from touching.
But one look at her honey eyes, and I’m lost to the need to make her mine. 
She’s a mess of contradictions and full of jagged edges that threaten to pull me apart at the seams and unleash the beast lurking within. 
I can’t resist her rebellions. But when she’s threatened by my enemies, I’ll risk everything to keep her safe.
Even my humanity.

Shielded Wrongs is a full-length standalone novel with an HEA, but the series presents a better reading experience when following the suggested reading order.

This series contains dark elements, including an over-the-top antihero who does as he pleases. Please read at your own discretion.

EXCERPT

With outstretched arms, he grabbed the top rope around the ring and tugged it down as he stared at me. A predatory grin played at the sharp curve of his lips, an overwhelming tease in and of itself. 

Those lips were made for sinning. 

Resisting the urge to move, I refused to let him see me squirm. He hadn’t so much as touched me, but he seared my skin with his brand and imprinted himself on my soul with nothing but a look. “You want me to put my hands on you, Baby Girl?” he asked. “I can think of far more interesting ways to entertain you.” 

I swallowed, shaking off the fog of lust threatening to make me jump his bones. 

Well, bone. 

“This is the only thing I’m interested in,” I said. 

“Little Liar,” he chuckled, shaking his head. The look on his face held zero trace of the annoyance most men would have felt if they thought I was playing hard to get. Instead, my resistance only seemed to spur Enzo on and make him more determined to watch me unravel. Something lurked behind his eyes, a demon simmering below the surface even though his face and words seemed otherwise amused. 

I had the distinct impression I was treading water in the deep end and too naïve to realize a current threatened to pull me under. 

“Don’t be a douchebag,” I laughed. “We both know sex would be a blast, but it isn’t going to happen. So put on your big boy pants, jump up here, and show me what you’ve got, Enzo.” 

He complied, pulling himself into the ring with a masculine grace that should have been impossible for a man his size. Enzo moved like an assassin in the night, fluid and silent until he wanted his victim to feel that single moment of pure terror before it all ended. Bellandi men were psychotic, often enjoying the thrill and fear they instilled in their victims before they struck. 

But Enzo was his own brand of crazy. Determined to win, with zero interest in anything but getting the job done, he didn’t do it for joy. 

He did it because it was his duty, and I had a feeling he was a killing machine beneath the careful facade he created to hide what lurked inside him.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Lorenzo “Enzo” Vescovi works for and is part of the Bellandi Crime family. He needed somewhere to work that let him be himself and not have to worry about the PTSD that he has from his time serving his country. His time in the service helps him with his job as head of security for the family. He looks to be a healthy, normal man on the outside, but on the inside, he fights his own battles. He worries about the safety and security of the entire family all the time and he worries that he is missing something while they are at war with the a faction of the Irish Mob.

Sadie has three brothers. She runs her father’s gym since he has retired and has feelings of insecurity when it comes to her father and they gym, but her brothers wanted nothing to do with running it and she loves it. She hides her true self from everyone she loves, with the exception of her best friend Ivory, but they never talk about her issues. She’s tough, strong, and scared. When she finds herself in a dangerous situation, she doesn’t want anyone to protect her because she can take care of herself, but Matteo Bellandi won’t leave her to defend herself. Matteo is the head of the Bellandi family and the husband of Sadie’s best friend Ivory, so when Ivory made him promise to protect Sadie, he knows that he can’t accept Sadie’s argument that she can take care of herself.

This was a great story of two people that feel that they will never find anyone to accept them, flaws and all, but when they find each other Enzo has to convince Sadie that he is in it for the long haul. Sadie has never had a relationship where the guy has stayed around once he gets to know the real Sadie and sees her idiosyncrasies. She doesn’t believe that Enzo will stay around either. I loved the subject matter of Sadie’s issues and Enzo’s PTSD and the way that the story covered both and did such a great job. Reading the Bellandi Crime Syndicate is my first exposure to Adelaide Forrest, and I have to say that I am in love with her stories and cannot wait to read more. Scar’s story looks to be just as deep and intriguing as Enzo’s was. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Bellandi Crime Syndicate.
