Theirs danger, actions, romance, and a troubled woman that is sassy, strong, and made for Ryder. If you are a reader of MC’s and enjoy stories with great characters, you should read K.L. Ramsey’s Savage Hell MC books. I look forward to more of these characters in the series.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Subterfuge – deceit used in order to achieve one’s goal.
A mob boss and a cartel are in battle to be the top group in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. They are against each other until the leader of the cartel decides that they could work together with his contacts and the mob bosses’ ideas and contacts, they could rule the Los Angeles area, and both get richer than they already are.
Detective Tom Stone and his team are in a battle to bring the cartel and the mob boss down and put them behind bars before more bodies show up or more drugs make it to their town. He’s a determined detective that won’t rest until he can bring them all down and help the lone survivor of the submarine wreckage that was found. Detective Stone is determined to help Mr. Delgado, a man that was taken along with his son at gun point to work for the mob boss.
I really enjoyed this story. It is action packed and engaging from the first page until the end. The characters are entertaining, determined and focused while working to get the needed information to bring down the drug dealers. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more Tom Stone Detective novels to come. If you enjoy a fast paced, action packed, police detective stories, you should pick up Subterfuge.
Even as Teddy’s child grows in my belly, I feel myself locked in the jaws of grief I can’t escape. But I can’t allow my emotions to distract me. A very real threat lurks in the shadows, eagerly waiting for me to let my guard down for even an instant. Cameron is out there somewhere—and it’s only a matter of time before he finds me. Lucas vowed to protect me, yet with each fluttering kick I feel, I’m reminded that I’m more vulnerable than ever.
Lucas
Charlie was a liability to the family. But as the right hand to the mafia king, it wasn’t my job to question such things. I trusted Teddy and gave him the loyalty and respect he deserved. He ordered me to keep her safe, and that’s what I did. I never meant to fall for her, but with him gone, I will honor my word by keeping Charlie and his unborn child safe… no matter what it takes.
NOTE-Reader discretion is advised. This book contains mature content and themes some may find offensive, distressing and a potential trigger. Recommended for 18+. The Savage One is book three in the Hale Mafia Series. It is NOT a stand-alone. For the full story and experience, The Devious King and The Vengeful Queen should be read first.
BL lives in north Texas with her husband and three children. She enjoys writing different sub genres of romance, and building flawed and broken characters. You can most likely find her mommy-ing, watching her husband cook (because she is a horrible chef), getting tattoos, or walking into the pole you’ve told her to watch out for. She loves interacting with her readers and other authors in the community. Friends and family classify her as fierce, loyal and ditsy at times.
I am who I am, and I won’t apologize for it. I don’t know how to be… Normal. I have my reasons. I’ve been through hell. I’ve touched the flames themselves and I’ve danced with the devil. Intimately. Damnation torched my soul until it was black. Then I see her. I’m enthralled, but I can’t speak to her. She’s too pure. Too fragile. Too innocent. She doesn’t need to see my torched soul. She doesn’t need to taste my damnation. I watch what I can’t have. I swear I’ll protect her. Even if she doesn’t know I’m there. I get more… Enthralled. She loves books. I wonder if I could love them too. She loves wine. I imagine us sharing a glass. Imagination. What a tease. Enthralled. Entranced. Obsessed. She feels me there. Sees me out of the corner of her eye. I’m the reason the hair on the back of her neck is standing up. But I stay in the shadows where I belong. Until I can’t. Until the day I see her cry. Those tears feel like open wounds. I want to heal them. But all she does is run. So I follow. Enthralled. Entranced. Obsessed. RUTHLESS. I won’t stop until she no longer has a reason to cry. Even if it means I have to ride through the fires of hell one more time.

Wow! A businessman that keeps his legitimate businesses in London but is a Bratva Pakhan that hides his Bratva dealings in plain sight. She’s plain, a nerd and yet he can’t get her out of his mind. She is not his usual type and everyone around him questions his motives when he brings Cassie into his personal business and then has to protect her because she lied to him. Konstantin Silvanov is a rich, powerful man. He walked away from Cassie once when he found out she was engaged, but now she has been put right back in his path and he won’t walk away again until he’s had his fill of her.
Cassie has a job that she thought she really wanted, and enjoyed doing it until her fiancé, and a manager at the company she now works at, thanks to his help, decided that she was not enough for him and cheated on her and then broke up with her. Now Cassie’s life is not a sunny as it once was. She finds herself in a situation after a night of drinking and going home with a guy for a one-night stand, and the man that she dreams about finds her in his kitchen. Could things be any worse for Cassie? As a matter of fact, now that she is back in his path, yet.
I loved this story. After reading The Soldier and getting the background on Konstantin and the meeting of Konstantin and Cassie, I wanted to read The King, and I could not wait for The War after reading it. The characters in this Duet have been through a lot and this story really takes them through so much more. Konstantin and Cassie did not have an easy childhood, and they are so different from each other in life, but their circumstances bring them together and they have to figure out what they are feeling and fight for what they want. Cassie is so unsure of herself and her confidence and childhood almost hold her back from what she could have. She’s afraid in her situation, but she feels safe with Konstantin. I loved the characters, all of them, and the story is full of action, betrayal, danger, and some steamy scenes. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it. I look forward to The War: Bratva Blood Duet Part Two.

REVIEWS FOR THE KING “Oh my beating heart! What a thrilling, twisted, and tantalizing tale SR Jones weaves. The King is a can’t-put-down mafia romance. So INTENSE and INTOXICATING. The King was my DRUG and I could not take enough hits of this HEADY HIGH. My heart raced the whole time reading. I was UTTERLY ADDICTED to the captivating characters and pulse-pounding plot.” Karen at Bookalicious Babes “Riveting…dark and beautifully written.” Honest-Bookworm “So intense, full of danger and secrets.” Amazon review “I love Mafia books and I can’t get enough of them. SR Jones knows how to write them. She’s feisty, raw, and a bit wild. Just the way I like it.” Bookworms Book Blog
Hi guys. I’m Skye, a paranormal and contemporary romance author from rainy Northern England. I write Paranormal romance as Skye Jones, and steamy dark romance as S.R. Jones. The one thing my books in both genres have in common are gritty themes, and alpha heroes who are damaged but oh-so-redeemable! When I’m not writing, I’m either walking my dogs, drinking coffee, or watching my fave TV shows such as The Sopranos, McMafia, and Little House on the Prairie, yep I have eclectic taste!
They call me Heaven, but I’m far from being a saint.
I served six years in prison for assault and battery, On a woman. If there is one thing people know about me, it’s how much I love women. I’d never lay a finger on them, unless it is all in pleasure, then yes, I plead guilty. I thought my past was behind me. I’m not like the other guys here. I’m not itching for payback, I only want to move on with my life. But she shows up. Heather Thomas. The governor’s other daughter. I only know because the woman I was accused of beating senseless was her sister. Now Heather is here, and things don’t look too promising for me. I shouldn’t be in the same space as Heather. It’s too dangerous. She sees me as I guilty man. After what she has been through, I don’t blame her. But she captivates me. I want her to believe me, to believe in me. I want to be her Heaven. I have to prove to her that I’m not the man I was set up to be in her mind. And then maybe, she’ll be captivated by me.
Kelli writes hot and steamy romances with delicious alpha males who will not stop until they get the women they crave exactly where they want them. Kelli’s heroes are tough as nails, hot as sin, and underneath the rough exterior is a heart of gold begging to be unleashed. If you think you can tame them, you’re probably right, but it won’t be an easy journey. AUTHOR LINKS AMAZON GOODREADS BOOKBUB INSTAGRAM TWITTER
MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Asher Haven is the son of a California Senator. He was raised in a house where his parents heated each other and showed no love for him. He couldn’t wait to turn eighteen and move out and be on his own. He’s not like his parents, he has a heart that he wears on his sleeve, but he keeps to himself. He has one really good friend, Grace, and she is the sister of the one woman that he could see himself with, but she despises him. He kissed his friend once, but he and Grace decided it was like kissing siblings, so they stayed friends and that was it.
Grace and her sister Heather, are daughters of a respectable man that is convinced to run for Governor by Asher’s father. Heather finds herself in the hands of a kidnapper and rapist. She is rescued by Owen and Officer Howard and now finds herself in a huge house built into a cliff. She can’t seem to get herself out of the darkness she’s fallen into since she was kidnapped, until she hears a familiar voice outside her door.
I love The Underground Kings. The men are like Robin Hood, they steal from the rich, bad people and keep some riches for themselves, but they also donate a huge amount of what they steal. These men are all wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit but they were found in the location of the crimes. Now they are living their lives in a small town in California in a house that is huge and beautiful. It’s in a beautiful location as well. These men may not live their lives legally all the time, but are protective, possessive and loyal to their family by choice. When they find, or are reconnected to the women that complete them, their protective and possessive side comes out and they are even more dangerous now. Asher Haven is the little brother to the group, they call him Heaven because he is so good looking and always has a sunny disposition. This book shows a different side of Heaven completely and it shows him as being a human with a huge heart still. I’ve loved Heaven from the beginning of these stories and was so looking forward to his story. It was well worth the wait, and I loved it. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more stories with these characters, they are fun to read and their interactions, family atmosphere, and antics are entertaining to read. I love Officer Howard as well and hope to read a story about him and more of his interactions with The Underground Kings.
I’ve been in the spotlight since I was born, thanks to my famous parents. Reaper and Harmony have been the gold standard when it comes to celebrity love stories. It’s hard to be in that shadow, to live up to that precedent.
Which is why I stopped trying when my band, Grey Skies hit the big time.
But when I go to Vegas to support my Mom, in her new residency, I have absolutely no idea I’ll leave Vegas with a new pop-star wife.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬
As one of the top pop-stars in the world right now, I don’t have time for anything. Much less love, or even a night out.
When my best friend surprises me with tickets to the sold-out Harmony Stewart show in Vegas on my one off weekend of the month, I’m beyond excited. Especially when we find out our seats are next to her family . Harboring a crush on her oldest son added with a few more drinks than I normally have equals consequences neither one of us bargained for.
The next morning, I wake up no longer Brianna Jenkins, pop star.
I’m Brianna Thompson, member of the new power couple, about to take the world by storm.

BLURB
Marriages are meant to be sacred but when an arranged marriage turns bloody a war is started.
Makenna Gallagher’s life is anything but ordinary. After experiencing something traumatic her life changes and not for the better. When she meets the man that she is expected to marry she knows that keeping her secrets is only going to get harder.
When Dante Bianchi sees his wife-to-be, he’s surprised. She doesn’t look anything like the sweet and innocent fourteen year old who he had agreed to marry five years ago. He looks forward to making her his.
When their wedding ends in a gunfight, he’s surprised to see his wife handling a gun with ease and when he watches her kill a man he doesn’t know whether to be angry or turned on.
Every family has secrets, but Makenna is drowning in hers. Will she sink or swim when hers turn deadly?
EXCERPT I make my way out the back just in time to see my wife shooting a fucking Russian bastard. Why the hell has she got a gun in her hands? My rage starts to surface again, she’s already been hurt and now she’s just killed a man. Fuck. “Kenna.” Her name is a growl from my lips. Her back stiffens and she turns to glare at me, “You here to help?” Her Irish accent is thicker than I’ve heard it before. My cock starts to stir again, her defiance shouldn’t be a turn on, but it is. “Sure,” I drawl and see her lips turn up before she quells her features. “There’s six out front,” she tells me. “Fucking Finn told me to stay here while he took the men with him. Arsehole.” She shakes her head. “Fuck knows where they’ve gone. Thankfully, Romero isn’t stupid and had a gun.” “Where did you get that one?” I ask her and I’m surprised I’m able to keep my tone even. She raises her brow and shakes her head. “When Romero put a bullet into arsehole number one,” she points to the dead body on the floor beside her, “I picked his gun up and used it on arsehole number two and three. Now, I’ve answered your question and as you can see I’m not going to have a meltdown because I killed someone; wasn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last. How about we cut the chit chat and get to the car before your brother bleeds to death?” I bite back my chuckle, whereas Romero and Alessio don’t. Fuck, I should hate that she’s not the quiet, shy woman I had expected but I’m not, I’m glad. I don’t want a docile wife, I want someone who’s full of life and looking at Kenna that’s what I’ve got. “Let’s go.” “Atta boy.” Kenna laughs and I shake my head, fuck, how can I want to laugh during a moment like this? “The black Rolls, that’s where we’re heading. Try not to get shot,” she tells me. “Don’t worry, princess, I’ll be fine.” She smirks at me, “Good, you have your husband duties to take care of tonight.” Jesus! My cock twitches at the thought of being inside of her. “Oh, princess, nothing, and I mean nothing will stop me from fucking you tonight.” Her pupils dilate, then she shakes her head and runs out the back door, firing her gun as she does. “I’m going to kill her,” I grunt as I follow behind her.

Title: CapturedAn Everyday Heroes World NovelAuthor: S. NelsonGenre: Contemporary RomanceCover Design: Tugboat DesignRelease Date: January 28, 2021 BLURB To say I survived the unimaginable isn’t exactly accurate, because I didn’t. I’m alive. But I’m not living. I’m existing, clawing my way from one day to the next. My only saving grace is my job as a police officer, and it’s during a routine traffic stop one evening when the threads of my isolated existence begin to unravel. One glance from Quinn Harris and I feel like I’m dreaming. And the more chance brings us together, the more I’m powerless to stop the uneasy feeling that I’m losing control.

EXCERPT Beautiful weather used to enhance my good moods in the past, but seeing the sun shining brightly, high in the sky, and feeling the warm breeze on the side of my face as I drove only seemed to aggravate me. On the days when it was dark and gloomy, I felt harmony because my surroundings were reflective of the turmoil I constantly battled. I was more at peace when the world appeared desolate. When I finally arrived at the address, I took a moment before I exited my cruiser, calling on whatever hierarchy there was in the universe to give me the strength to complete my task. It’d gotten easier over time to deal with the public, but I still struggled with the interactions, although no one ever detected such a thing. Most just categorized me as an asshole, and I was fine with the assessment. Opening my door, I slid out of my seat and adjusted my duty belt as I rounded the back of the vehicle, flipping on my shades to shield my eyes from the blinding sun. Up ahead, I saw a woman standing in the archway of the complex. If she was aware of my presence, she didn’t show it, so I took the time to assess her, as I did everyone I came into contact with. She was thin, approximately five-six with long dark hair. She wore a black skirt, white top, and black heels. On her left wrist was a silver banded watch. She carried what looked to be a laptop case on her right shoulder. The closer I approached, the more I was able to see more of her, but it wasn’t until she turned to face me that I realized I’d seen her before. The prior evening, in fact. Standing near her now, in the light of day, in a drastically different scenario, a pang of remorse washed over me. To say feeling bad was an oddity for me was an understatement. I hardly ever gave people a second thought, let alone harbored any sense of guilt about my interactions. There was a chance she wouldn’t recognize me as the same officer who pulled her over last night. If that was the case, then I would remain as quiet as possible and get this over with quickly so I could get back to dealing with the rest of my day. Any hope I had that she viewed me as a complete stranger died when her eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of her mouth turned down. “This is just great,” she mumbled loud enough for me to hear, and I didn’t know if it was her tone or the blatant look of disgust on her face from having to stand near me, but a part of me that had been dormant for as long as I could remember flicked back to life during the unpleasant interaction. The moment was fleeting, but I held on to it for as long as possible before it faded into obscurity. The snarkiness in her voice pricked my senses. Everyone else I encountered either left me alone completely or engaged me briefly, their tones restrained and cautious, most likely because of my body language: that and the constant scowl on my face. But the woman standing ten feet from me piqued my curiosity, all while she treated me with an iota of disdain. Now, if she’d only stop glaring at me, I could attempt to make amends for last night.
