My life was a nightmare wrapped in dark secrets. Separated from my sister at an early age, I was surrounded by twisted depravity that threatened to tear me apart. After losing everything and everyone I loved, I was cast out into a world I wasn’t prepared for. The Death Hounds saved my daughter from a life of misery and through them, I was reunited with her.
He saw the darkest parts of my soul and embraced them, offering me love and support unlike anything I’d ever experienced. He knew some of my secrets, but there were still dangers lurking in the shadows. He had his own demons that called him into the darkness, but together, we fought the darkness and began to build a future.
When faced with a vile monster from my past, I used the strength he gave me and fought to survive. My saviors on steel horses came to my rescue, but this time, a Death Hound was caught in the crossfire. Would the club still support me, or would they cast me back into a life of isolation?
With darkness closing in again, the only one who could protect me was the man who held my heart, and would destroy the world, just to see me smile. But when the truth is finally revealed, would he still be standing by my side, or would my daughter and I have to face the world alone?

My husband.

Mercedes has come a long way since she has been under Judge’s care, but she still has her rebellious and stubborn side.

Judge is a powerful man, but even powerful men have their Achilles heals and can be blinded by their lives and their pasts.

I give this book a 5-star review and I need Their Reign ASAP!
Mallory Grant and Nixon Scott met purely by chance. With an instant attraction between them, the pair was easily tempted to give in to their desires.
Despite the fact that Mallory wants more with Nixon, she’s willing to settle for what he is prepared to offer: a physical relationship with no strings.
But when Mallory gets robbed at gunpoint, Nixon starts paying more attention.
She assumed the robber was a man looking for some quick cash. Nixon wondered if that was all there was to it. After all, the thief’s words to her left him feeling unsettled.
And when Mallory gets kidnapped, Nixon realizes his instincts were right all along. Only now he’s worried that he might lose the woman who means more to him than he’s ever shared.
A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over twenty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
Nixon has seen firsthand what happens to loved ones when a soldier doesn’t make it back home and he has vowed to never put any woman in that position with him. He is a man that does do relationships. When he rescues his brother’s girl after being kidnapped and offers to go with her best friend to pick up her car and her clothes and belongings from the hotel, he finds that he is attracted to Mallory, but he is determined to stay away because if something went bad between them, it would not be good for his brother and Magnolia. The problem is that Nixon can’t forget Mallory even a week after their meeting.
Now that Magnolia has been rescued and she is good, Mallory takes notice of Nixon, and she finds her confidence after they go to lunch and pick up Magnolia’s car and clothes. However, she finds that Nixon is not on the same page as her. She’s willing to go against her usual dating and relationship persona to have a friend with benefits with Nixon, but he refuses and leaves Mallory feeling like she misread the situation. However, she can’t seem to get Nixon out of her head.
I really liked this story and the characters. I liked that A.K. Evans wrote this story to coincide with Magnolia and Killian’s story. This story made more sense with that backstory and the intermingling of the characters from both series. The story had some unpredictable scenes and some wow scenes. I loved Mal and Nixon together. I loved Rockstars & Romance Series and going into the Harper Security Ops Series was seamless. I love the characters and the story lines in this series, and I am looking forward to more of these Harper Security men and the women that show them what life is like with the right partner standing beside them. I give this story a 5-star review.
But there is something about this feisty tattoo artist. She makes my blood boil. But with that pure, unadulterated rage comes an ache deep inside I simply can’t ignore.
I despise her.
I shouldn’t want her.
The problem is—every part of me does.
And it’s a complication I can no longer ignore.
With threats against the club from our persistent rivals, it’s becoming clear we can’t be sure who to trust.
As the saying goes… keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
But without knowing, I’ve invited mine right in, and I’m falling for her hard.
And when we hit the ground, I know it’s gonna hurt!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Wow, I don’t even know where to start with this. I loved the book and the characters. Hurricane is a man that doesn’t trust easily, but when he trusts someone, he trusts completely. Losing Razor was hard in Hurricane, and he was a drift for a while, but when he finally found his new VP, he began to find his footing again, until he met Kaia.
This story was explosive, full of action, great characters, and a newfound book boyfriend. I loved Hurricane. He’s not an easy man to love, but when he started to show his true self, it was great. His gentleness with Lani, his love for Ingrid and Novah, and his love for Bayou and his club brothers shows he’s a man that loves deeply and hard. His past experience with women may have given him pause about Kaia, but when they opened up to each other it was great.
I loved the story, the characters, and the I fell in love with the NOLA Defiance. I can’t wait to read City’s book and more in the series. I love KE Osborn’s books and the Defiance MC has always been a favorite of mine. I am looking forward to more of these guys. I give this book a 5-star review.
After tragedy comes pain and destruction. Then when the light shines bright, and Riddick finds a way to get out of the darkness, his past comes back to haunt him again and he has more of a fighting chance this time. He just has to heed the warnings of Madame Laveaux and follow the right path.
This was a brutal, raw story of pain, tragedy, deception and finding a way out of the despair that can drag you down when you lose someone you love. It was a great read and as always, the characters from the New Orleans National Chapter are great to read. I loved it and I loved Riddick and Abigail’s story. New Orleans is a place of mystery and secrets. When secrets begin to come to light, danger follows and Riddick has to make a decision of which path to choose, when he chooses the wrong path, he has to rely on his brothers to act quickly and save the love of his life, but will they be too late? I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to reading Belle Macabre.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
