He’s from a working-class family, raised by his grandparents. He’s loyal, sticks to his morals, and can keep a secret. Dylan Murphy is the Personal Assistant to a very rich man that opens his world up to so many things. Dylan idolizes Graham and works very hard for him. He was hired when he needed a job most, right after he returned home from his duty in the Marines. Dylan lives in a very ritzy Co-Op owned and run by Graham and his rich friends that also live in the Co-Op. Dylan is a man who gets things done, he is not only the PA for Graham, but he is also the manager of the Co-Op where they live. He’s a fixer in a way. The first time he sees Penelope, he is drawn to her. He is smart enough to keep his distance though once he finds out that she is taken, that is until he learns that her fiancé is not who she thought he was.

Penelope is also from a working-class family. She isn’t looking for a man to give her the world, but when Chandler comes up to her in a bar and introduces himself to her and asks her out, she’s charmed. Things are fine until after they become engaged and she learns who Chandler really is. The son of a media mogul that is ruthless in business and life. She needs to get away from him when his secrets start to come to light, but he’s holding her family over her and she can’t escape him, until Dylan decides that she’s worth any sacrifice and will do anything to help her and bring down the corrupt media mogul.

I enjoyed this story. It’s a story of two people who get a taste of the rich life, but don’t lose their morals and keep their roots. These two will go through a lot to get to the actual truth and bring down the corrupt fiancé, but they will have some help along the way from the people that Dylan has shown true respect and dedication to. Graham knows who Dylan is and will help him to attain his own goals. There are secrets, challenges, angst, and suspense throughout this story and the true hero will finally win in this story, but it will take a lot of dedication, planning, and help to get to the ultimate goal. I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it if you like stories of the underdog coming out on top and an Alpha male that doesn’t need to shove his way into anything to accomplish his goals.

Sheridan Reid is a young woman who has had to be strong since she was little girl and lost her mother. She was always told by her mom that she was strong, and she didn’t want to disappoint her when she was sick, so Sheridan always hid her tears and her vulnerabilities. As a young woman who has worked alongside her father in their company, RT Industries, she has become a woman who gets things done, she is serious, boring, and focused on getting her father’s best friend, David, to commit to her and explore a relationship. On her way to meet her father’s wedding and meet up with David to convince him, she is re-routed due to a Hurricane and finds herself with a group of people that draw out the young woman she should be and shows her who she can be and what she really craves in life, friendship and fun.

Camilo Zaragoza is the co-pilot and is living his dream of flying all over. His father and he left Mexico to fulfill Camilo’s dreams of becoming a pilot, giving up their life in Mexico and leaving Camilo’s mother behind. He loves going to see his Mamá when he is able to fly back, but his life is in Florida now with his papa. Camilo is fighting his own battles now though as his father has had a stroke and is in a care home. The young woman who seems to be arrogant and rude has caught his attention, until she insults him and is rude to his face. However, for some reason he is still pulled to her.

I really enjoyed this story, it was entertaining, angsty, and funny. The characters are great. You have two sexy, cocky pilots, a stuck up rich heiress, a Latina singer, a gay reality TV star and his assistant, the flight attendant, and an elderly couple that are all traveling to Cost Rica that end up in Tahueca, Oxaca, Camilo’s hometown and have to stay at the Zaragoza Hotel, Camilo’s family hotel. Due to Rodrigo, the Hurricane headed right for them, the group has to stay together to stay safe. The whole ordeal brings out a different person in Sheridan, after a lot of bad situations first. This story was funny, angsty, and sad, but all in all it was a great story. I loved Damian and I really hope he gets a story, along with Nicolas. Damian is the perfect character to bring out the humor in this story. I really can’t see him being quiet and not wanting his own story. I give this story a 4-star review and hope for more of these characters because they are all great and fun to read.

Holy sinners needing atonement! Another great dark, twisted story by V.F. Mason. She really knows how to bring out the dark and twisted as well as draw out the story until you’re hanging on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what’s going on.

She told them she was innocent, but no believed her. She was pitted against the King family, they owned New York and were loved by everyone, so she was drug through the mud and sentenced for a crime she didn’t commit, at least not the way she was portrayed. Phoenix finally had it all. Growing up in the system wasn’t easy, but she was smart and driven. She knew what she wanted from life after a chance meeting with a young boy who was hurting. She had everything now as an adult woman. She had the career she wanted, a man who loved her and her life was going well. Until it wasn’t. One tragic night everything changed and then her life hit bottom and the only reason she was fighting to stay alive was for the little part of her that no one else knew about, yet.

He is the only King by blood. He’s powerful, rich, and still hurting from his childhood. Zachary King’s life took a bad turn when he was a young boy. On a particularly bad day, he met a little girl who brought some sunlight into his life, but only for a short time. His father sent him away to school but kept his new wife and her children with him. Zachary grew up abroad going to school and grew to hate his father because he felt that his father didn’t want him. When he finally came back to the states to live, he was supposed to meet the little girl, now an 18-year-old young woman, to see if their friendship could be more than writing letters every couple of years to each other. Only he didn’t get to her on time and met someone else that would become his world, until one fateful night when his world would be shattered forever.

Phoenix and Zachary have a past that will become apparent after a lot of damage has been done to both of them. Zach has become a rich, powerful, angry man who only lives for revenge and will go to any extreme to get it. He is determined to ruin Phoenix’s life and accomplishes it until the truth comes to light and Phoenix and Zachary have to work together to get the real killer and bring them to justice.

This story, like all of V. F. Mason’s stories that involve crazy, twisted, dark characters, was an excellent read. I loved it from the beginning until the final page. I cried and got angry at the characters, but ultimately, I loved the main characters. I loved that Ms. Mason incorporated her characters from her Dark Romance books into this one and that they played a part in finding and helping with the capture of the character that caused all of the mayhem in this story. I love the characters that she writes, and they stay with me for a long time after reading her books. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it if you are a lover of dark, twisted, dangerous characters that will do anything for the ones they love, even if it includes finding retribution after they are no longer with them. I do have to say that this story had me on the edge of my seat right up through the epilogue and almost the final pages of the book, and I was crying as well. Great job with this story, I loved it!!

Wow, ugly cry! This story is heartbreaking, but action packed as well.

Boomer grew up in the Ruthless Kings MC Las Vegas Chapter. His father was the president until his death due to a bad plan. Boomer stayed with the MC and was raised by Reaper, Boomer’s father’s best friend. Reaper is now the president of the club. Boomer is so happy to have found out that he has a sister and he loves her unconditionally, but Boomer is having a hard time finding himself and finding his place in the MC. He needs to get away and figure out what will make him happy and who he is. So, he sneaks away in the dark of morning leaving a note for his sister and the MC that raised him, finding himself in Atlantic City, NJ at a rundown motel on the beach.

Scarlett is a college student that finds herself waking up in the damp, musty basement of some house. She has no idea how she got there or what has happened to her in the past few hours. Her last memory is of being on campus and hearing the rumble of motorcycles and then the sting of something on her neck. When she wakes up and finds herself unable to move and collar around her neck, she begins to panic and is comforted by another female voice, until she learns where she is and what her future looks like. When Abigail, the other girl with her basement, tells her of the man who brings her food and how he is kind, Scarlett is skeptical and shows that she is not afraid of him. She confronts him as to how he can let them be treated this way and why he hasn’t helped them.

Boomer finds his way and what he’s meant for in Atlantic City when he finds Scarlett and other women being held in a basement. His odd friendship with the motel owner, Homer, gives him purpose too. He wants to help Homer rebuild the motel and make it a place where people want to stay and give Homer some peace in his life. He has sacrificed so much already and deserves to have some good in his life.

This story broke my heart, tore it out of my chest, and then put it back together. It was devastating to get to know Boomer and his struggles, but when he finds his way, it healed my heart right along with healing his. It is a beautifully tragic story of a man who feels like he has nothing to live for and finds that if he weren’t around so many people would be heart broken. I loved this story and I am looking forward to more of the Ruthless Kings, although I hope that there will be more of Boomer’s MC as well in the future. The men of the Ruthless Kings make me laugh at times, the passion that they have about their proclivities and the way they treat each other like they are family is amusing and I love them all. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who love MC romance, goofy, tough, dark bikers, and the women who complete them and make them whole. I will give you a heads up though that it is dark, heartbreaking, and deals a touchy subject, but it is done very well.

This story is twisted, full of action and tells a story of second chances at a good life for two people who have had some rough patches.

Cillian was set up and used as an example when he was a young man. Now he has done his time and is ready to live a full life. The only trouble is that he’s limited on finding someone to give him a chance since he is an ex-con. His luck changes when he decides to stop into the little diner for a cup of coffee and he meets Vivian.

Vivian has been working hard to make ends meet since she inherited the diner from her grandmother. She struggles to keep employees who are willing to work and show up to work. She has trouble finding reliable employees and works hard to keep her diner opened and not have to break her back to keep it going. She is lonely and wants a family of her own, but she doesn’t seem to have any luck in finding anyone to share her life with.

I really liked Cillian and Vivian’s story. Cillian has some hurdles to overcome and he needs to find his confidence and overcome his self-doubt as well as find a way to move on with his life and find his path. He has a dream but he has to find his way to make his dream come true and when he finds a way to pay back Savage for all he has done for him, he may give up on that dream and he’ll put his life on the line to save those that he loves. I give this story a 5-star review and I look forward to more in the Savage Hell MC series. The characters are strong, entertaining, and enjoyable to read.
