Sins I know I’m guilty of most days.

Lust, anger, and, most of all, envy—these three sins keep me awake at night.

Envy of the man who got the girl I’ve loved all my life. The girl I promised I would take care of forever and always. The girl I hoped I would have a future with and who would take my name and have my children.

But I was wrong.

My dreams ended the day my father was killed, and I had to step up as president of the Lost Souls MC, a job I didn’t want but was forced into taking.

Serena said she would wait for me, give me time to settle a score that could ultimately lead to my death. But she didn’t.

Instead, she chose to marry the one man who ruined my life and took my family—Clemente.

Gone is that sweet boy that promised her love, hope, and a future…

Instead, he’s been replaced with a proud man wanting Serena to pay for choosing the enemy over me.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 OUT OF 5

A great start to a new MC by J. A. Collard, also a new author to me. I’m hooked on her books now.

The Sub Rosa MC is his legacy, his parents may not have wanted him to live that life, but it’s in his blood and he wants to be a part of the family. He has finally been invited to prospect but before he can become a fully patched member his life takes a turn and he’s thrust into the life without being prepared. Aside from the tragedy that brought him fully into the MC, he pushes the woman he’s in love with away to protect her, but did he do the right thing? Harley has to learn how to run the MC by being thrust into the life because of one man that has a vendetta against Harley and his father and the club.

She’s tried to get him to talk to her long enough, now she’s ready to move on, but for some reason he keeps popping into her mind again. Will she move on with her life, or will Harley trap Serena by staying on her mind? Serena’s not happy with her father’s choices in business, but he’s kept her safe and a roof over her head. Now that she’s away from Harley, her father wants her to marry the son of a Don. He’s been a pain most of her life, but when she finally decides to move on he’s there and her perception of him has changed.

I loved this addition to the MMM World and I loved the characters in this book. I am looking forward to the next book and the answers to all of the questions and the cliff hanger that this book left me in. I will also be looking for more of J. A. Collard’s books to read.

Melissa Filla is a rom-com author. She resides in a small town in Illinois with her husband and fur-babies. She is a bonus mom to one amazing son who shares her love of reading. When she’s not writing, Melissa spends her days working, spending time with her mom, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends, reading and reviewing for her blog 2 Chicks And A Book with her cousin Kat Boffa and their friend, also Melissa’s PA, Jaime Deichmann. She has a fantastic support system and cheering squad, as she sometimes puts it.

Melissa has always wanted to write, and when her friend and fellow author, Jaime Russell suggested they co-write together, well the rest is history. Melissa still fan-girls when meeting her favorite authors, and will always believe that authors are her rockstars!

Besides family and books, Melissa loves to laugh. If you follow her on social media, you have seen the dad jokes posted that she’s obsessed with. She knew choosing the genre of rom-coms to write was an easy one. She believes if she can make one person laugh at something she writes, she is winning. Although, she secretly hopes she gives readers the feels and maybe a tear or two, lol.

Movies, gaming, and books. Oh My!

Jaime Russell grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, but she currently lives in a smaller town in Indiana. She lives in the country with her husband, and she is a caregiver to her parents- and mother-in-law. Jaime suffers from some autoimmune diseases, so on her good days, she is active and most likely shopping. But on her bad days, she spends time curled up with her fuzzy blanket, escaping reality with her puppies: Annie, Duke and Duchess.

Jaime is an aunt to two crazy nephews and four nieces, as well as being the oldest child in a family of five, which include their spouses. Life has never been dull for Jaime, and family means everything to her.

She enjoys watching movies, shooting guns, and spending time with family and friends. She is an avid gamer when her internet permits, as she enjoys talking and goofing off with her online family.

Jaime Russell never enjoyed reading growing up. Now she goes nowhere without either a paperback or her Kindle because there is always a new book boyfriend that needs to be found and fought over.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 OUT OF 5

This was a great addition to the Mayhem Makers World. I loved Lou and Sean.

She’s been trained since she was young that her body can be used as a weapon. Louisa “Lou” wants out that world, but she has to deal with her handler first. Will she ever be free to live her life on her terms?

Sean decided from a young age that he did not want to follow in the family business, so he took his own path. It put a strain on his relationship with his father, but he needed to forge his own path in the world. While working a case for the FBI he knows he has no time for a life, but when he runs into a sexy woman at the gym he finds that he wants more in his life.

I loved this book, it was such a great story in the MMM World and it was so different from the others. Lou is a woman living a double life, but she wants to get away from the life she was trained to live and make a life with Sean. Sean wants to live a life away from his father’s business, but his father is determined to have him take the rains and continue the family legacy. Each of the characters have to find a way to live the life they want within the world they are from. This was my first book of Jaime Russell’s and Melissa Filla’s but I loved the story and the writing and will be looking for more of their stories to read.
