No roof. No patch. No name that meant anything to anyone.
I was just a man clawing his way out of the dark.
She didnβt see a lost cause.
She saw me. Loved me.
But I had wounds even she couldnβt heal.β¨β¨
So, I pushed her away.
Two years had come and gone.
I was no longer the broken guy with nothing.
Iβd faced my fears and earned my patch.
I had everything I wanted. Except her.
Iβd fought for a place I could call home.
Now, I would fight for her.
No matter what the cost.
Some people only get one chance at love.
Iβm praying for a second.

This is the second book in the series. The characters keep fighting against the danger and the secrets keep finding the light of day. The move to Stormwind Squadron was to keep them contained, but more secrets have been revealed and more danger is coming.
More secrets and powers are revealed from the House of Vaelthorne and Mara’s powers keep growing. Kael knew all along who she was but he kept it to himself. Now Mara is questioning why and if she can trust him.
I am loving this series and can’t wait to read more to come. Great characters and a lot of secrets, danger, and deception going on. I look foward to the reveal of more.
A lake shrouded in superstition, a notorious crime family and a team of detectives chasing phantoms.
Chapman’s Lake has a story behind it, and it’s a dark one. But when the body of a half-naked woman is pulled out of the water, Detective Smith and the other detectives hunting her killer focus all their attention on the strange symbol branded onto her skin.
This is their first mistake. The murder of the woman is just the beginning, and it’s something that Smith couldn’t have predicted in a million years.
The lake has many secrets, and Smith is going to have to change the way he looks at murder if he’s going to stand a chance of solving the most bizarre murder case of his career.

Stewart Giles β Author Bio
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series β a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else Iβve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam OβReilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.
A great read! A story full of twisted minds, twists and turns and the great characters that are always present in the DS Jason Smith Thrillers.
DS Jason Smith and his team find themselves in the midst of a real mystery when bodies of women begin to surface at Chapman’s Lake. No only is DS Smith dealing with these murders and trying to find and stop the murderer, but he also has personal things popping up and causing him trouble.
I love the characters in the DS Jason Smith Thrillers, they all work well together and they aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds when something comes up that one might question. They work like a family that can be themselves and say what they think, even if it might not be something about the case or even the correct thing to say to a co-worker.
DI Smyth has to put up with a lot from this crew, but they work well together and they find their suspect, even if they have to do a few things against the books.

Autumn is my favorite season, and as a blogger who embraces all things spooky, I canβt resist taking a tour of the historic haunted Mayfield Inn.
I invite my brother along, and we take a trip to Ravenβs Crest, where the hotel isnβt the only attraction. Thereβs the Fear Farm, plenty of spooky shops, and a giant corn maze. Thatβs just the beginning.
But when my brother disappears before the end of the tour, and the guide is anything but helpful, I turn to the sheriff for help. Itβs only when I see him talking to a big group of bikers wearing leather vests that I realize this town protects its own.
Iβll have to investigate my brotherβs disappearance and find out what happened without help.
Only the biker club, Kings of Anarchy MC, doesnβt like me poking around or taking snapshots of their bikes. And thatβs when I meet Hayride. Heβs a cocky, muscled, tattooed barrier between me and the truth.
Thereβs a rising body count in Ravenβs Crest, and someone is copying the kills of the infamous Hillside Stalker. Lengths of rope arenβt just props. Theyβre the killerβs favorite tools, and he loves tourists.
Now Iβm racing against the clock to find my brother and avoid the killer, hoping Iβm not next to die.
Hayride becomes one of the few that I can trust. He swears to protect me and help find my brother. But heβs got secrets, too. And theyβre deadly enough to kill.
Iβm about to find out if the biker who claims Iβm his to protect and owns his heart is willing to risk everything to save my family.

My Review: ββββ 4 out of 5
I loved this third book in the Kings of Anarchy MC, Ohio series. Hayride and Natalya are great characters and their story was great. As is the case with all of Nikki Landis’ books, in my opinion, the characters are great and the stories seem to pull me into the scenes. I love her strong FMLs that can stand up for themselves, but also are willing to let the men in their lives back them up and protect them as well.
This town has secrets and if you aren’t careful, you could find out the hard way that secrets are best kept hiddin in Raven’s Crest. This story has suspense, danger, great characters, and a wonderful story. I do wish there were a little more on the history, but overall the story was great and I read it pretty quickly.
I look forward to more of this series to come, and more stories of the Kings falling for their women.
Tropes: ποΈMC ποΈEnemies to Lovers ποΈAge gap ποΈForced Proximity ποΈMarriage of Convenience ποΈFound Family
Blurb: Rain My father has always been my entire life. So when he passes, I am ready to leave this town in the past and find a brand new start. The only problem is my fatherβs last will and testament requires I marry for my inheritance. Not some random man, no. He wants me to marry Ridge, my once crush turned adversary. I tell myself Iβm not going to do it. That I donβt need the inheritance, but the thought of losing everything that was once home has me spiraling. Could a marriage of convenience really be that bad?
Ridge Mustang was like a father to me so with his death brings pain like Iβve never felt. Whatβs even worse is that he asked me to make a sacrifice for him by marrying his daughter. The same woman who has despised me since I ignored her existence when she was sixteen. Sheβs not sixteen anymore though. Now she is a woman, one that slowly has clawed her way under my skin. Marrying her should be a hardship, so why does it feel like an opportunity instead?
These two have been dancing around each other for so long, it was great to get their book and read their story.
Ridge has finally seen Rain for more than Mustang’s daughter, but his loyalty to his club and his brother keeps him from acting on it. That is until Mustang loses his battle and the will is read.
Rain has hated Ridge for years, but has she really? After the reading of her father’s will, she’s ready to tear Ridge apart and wishes she could blast her father as well.
I loved this story and how Rain finds her way after her father passes. She realizes that her life has actually put her where she should be. I love the way these two navigate their new life and find their way to each other for real.
I love the Mountain River MC series and the characters. I can’t wait to read more in this series.
I survived my first year at Thornwick. That was the easy part.
They moved me to Stormwind Squadronβthe military’s dumping ground for riders who are too dangerous, too valuable, or too damaged for regular units. My new squadmates include a griffin rider who steals memories and a pegasus rider whose healing magic sometimes kills instead of cures.
We’re the ones they don’t trust. The ones they can’t afford to lose.
The Forsaken are hunting anyone with royal blood. And my ability to amplify other riders’ powers? That’s a signature trait of House Vaelthorne, the royal family everyone thought died twenty years ago.
Turns out, I’m not just some foster kid who got lucky. I’m the last heir to a throne that doesn’t exist anymore.
And Kael knew. The whole time.
Captain Kael Blackwaterβthe man I’m falling for despite every warning signβwas there the night my family was massacred. He’s been lying to me since we met, protecting secrets that could get us both killed.
Now we’re forced to work together on missions that grow deadlier by the day. Our dragons sync in ways that terrify our superiors. And when we finally kiss, the resonance between our bonds creates a firestorm visible for miles.
But Hollowmaw are breeding in underground tunnels, feeding on stolen dragon blood. The military is conducting illegal experiments on captured riders. And somewhere out there, a man claiming to be my father is building an army using blood magic that corrupts everything it touches.
Why does Kael look at me like he’s mourning someone I used to be?
Why are riders with Vaelthorne abilities disappearing, their deaths ruled training accidents?
Why are the Hollowmaw suddenly evolving, targeting me specifically in ways that suggest someone’s commanding them?
Kael has answers. About the massacre. About a father who might be alive or might be the architect of every horror I’m facing. About what my power really does and why the military would rather see me dead than risk losing control of me.
He’s keeping me alive by keeping me complicit.
And I’m falling for him anywayβfor the man who kisses me like an apology while hiding the truth about why things with teeth keep finding me, who might have orders to eliminate me the second my bloodline becomes more valuable dead than alive.
Surviving first year was supposed to be the hard part.
No one warned me the real test is deciding who to trust when everyone’s keeping deadly secrets.
Welcome to Stormwind Squadron, where: Misfits bond over shared damage (or kill each other) Captains keep devastating secrets about your murdered family Something is building an army using corrupted dragon blood The man who saved you might be the one ordered to end you Royal blood isn’t a crownβit’s a death sentence

When your world is always stormy, it’s easy to hide from the sunshine… Tyler After all that I’ve been through, there’s nothing I won’t do to protect what matters most. I’ve devoted my life to this ranch and my son, and I promised Iβd never let anyone get close enough to risk losing either one of them again. But even the most disciplined man makes a mistake from time to time. I didn’t expect to see her again, so when Delaney reenters my life with news that scares us both, the safety I’ve carefully built for myself shatters. It was just one night of weakness, but now it ties us together forever. I’ve been down this road before, and I’m terrified of how the journey will end. She’s far too young to shoulder this burden alone, but the ranch is expanding, and there’s no room for distractions. Delaney thinks sheβs cursed to lose everyone she loves. Iβm terrified that if I trust her, Iβll lose the son Iβve spent years shielding from the world. But the day our lives change forever is coming soon, and it’s time for me to decide: do I keep guarding my heart like a fortress, or do I step up and be the man everyone needs me to be?

PreOrder The clock is ticking. Every week we get closer to the release of Property of Kevlar. My ARC team is doing a fantastic job and letting you know how they felt about my addition to the Royal Bastard MC world. Don’t hesitate, order your copy today so that you can get your hands on a copy of this new series as soon as it releases on June 30, 2026. One week from Today!!!
I loved this first book in the RBMC – Oklahoma City Chapter.
Kevlar is given the opportunity to return home after he and his brother left abruptly after tragedy struck, and found the RBMC to join. They return to Oklahoma City to find that not only are the Dixia Mafia still there and controlling the city, but that a rival MC that the RBMC have been dealing with is trying to move into OKC as well. He’s home to take back his city, and reconnect with his blood family. Will he be welcomed back with open arms or not?
Kelsey is not a fan of bikers and to say that she’s impressed with her date, that her best friend left her stranded with is a stretch. Pete was not the kind of man that Kelsey found attractive or interesting, and she wanted away from him as soon as possible. However, she’s going to find that her night will not end the way she’d hoped. Kevlar becomes Kelsey’s knight in shining armor and her perception of bikers is swayed by his protection of her and by extension her best friend, Carrie.
I really enjoyed this first book in the OKC RBMC by Victoria Jayne, it incorporates her Dixia Mafia characters that I as well. She does a great job with character development and the stories grab your attention from the beginning and pull you in. I can’t wait to read more of the OKC RBMC to come. I’m looking forward to Kid’s story.

The devil doesn’t ask for permission, and he never begs for forgiveness.
Lucifer Wielding the gavel for the Fallen Demons MC means I take what I want. And Jessica is no exception.Β The moment I laid eyes on her, something raw and primal awakened within me. She was young, beautiful, and desperate to outrun her past. And I was the selfish bastard who needed to possess every curve of her body and own all the jagged edges of her soul. My recklessness nearly destroyed her, so I did everything in my power to make it right. Now she sees me as a monster who has trapped her in a lie.Β I’ve kept my distance, watching from the shadows while she tries to heal. Jessie’s gone to hell and back, and every time she looks in the mirror all she sees are reminders of the pain. Her mother’s mistakes. My betrayal. Her brand new scars.Β She wants to let the darkness consume her, but I didn’t watch her fight for her life just to throw it all away. And I won’t rest until the woman I’ve claimed can see herself through my eyes. As a goddess. A warrior. A siren. The woman I secretly call my wife.
