Rayna and her mom are still living at the clubhouse because her stepdad hasn't been found yet. Since being there she's gotten close to some of the girls and guys, especially Magnus. He has been attracted to Rayna since she showed up and decided to take his chance on New Year's Eve with a kiss at midnight. Their romance is a slow burn since Rayna has trust issues thanks to losers in her past. Magnus and the club are also trying to deal with a cartel enemy once and for all, and find Dag's stepdad to make sure he can't hurt Rayna and her mom anymore.
I gave this a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. The chemistry between Rayna and Magnus was strong and watching their love bloom was beautiful. This book wasn't on the dark romance side per se but it did have its moments as well as making me cry. That is what equals a good book for me. Next up is Savage the last book in this series…. for now.

As a lover of MC reads this collection of short stories/prequels were a fun read for me. I really enjoyed each story and discovering new to me authors. Now a few do end in like a cliff hanger or stop short and I’m hoping this means we get more of those stories from the authors at a later time. If you’re looking for some great and easy motorcycle alpha males this collection is definitely for you.
Aesir has been in a friends-with-benefits relationship with Aziza for a while now. Every time she breaks up with her boyfriend Tyler they get together but he's tired of it. Like with most friends-with-benefits one of them caught the feels and that was Aesir. Things start to look up after a trip to Puerto Rico to handle a club enemy and Aziza decides she's done with Tyler and wants better for her life. So with Magnolia's help, she opens an actual baking company in a professional kitchen and starts a new relationship that is healthy and nurturing for both of them. Being the typical guy, Tyler is the scorned ex who doesn't get the picture the first time or the second time. Maybe it will be the third time that he's told it's over.
I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. Aziza was a great character to finally meet in this book. She is not your typical woe-is-me girl but a take-life-by-the-horns girl. She has dreams and ambitions and knows she deserves better and when she sets out to get it oh boy does she. Aesir is the perfect compliment to her strength to support her and enjoy her success with her. I can't wait to see what's next in the series with little hints dropped in this one.
This is about Breaker the President of the Satan's Raiders MC. He was betrayed in the worse way by the woman he thought was the one, his true love. It's been about a year since everything went down with her and the club is getting worried about him and how he hasn't bounced back. He's sworn he'll never fall in love or trust a woman again. He's learned his lesson. Ops and Mabel decide to take Breaker to a strip club where he sees Kara dance. He's so mesmerized he can't take his eyes off her. Kara has her own secrets like trying to be in hiding from her dead exes goons that are looking for her. When she runs into her friend Trixie and decides to go work at the club she's at. Breaker is dealing with a threat to his club and thinks they're targeting Kara because of him when Trixie and she are attacked one night leaving work, but it was Kara's own enemies. Luckily they are saved by Breaker and the Devil's Nightmare MC who are looking for Trixie. Breaker wants to keep Kara safe and takes her to the clubhouse which is plain awkward for her. Not one person except Sunny makes her feel welcome. When she finds out about Celia, Breaker's ex she takes off. Does Breaker find her in time? Can he save and protect her? Can he save his own club?
This book is somewhat of a crossover. Lena Bourne brought her guys from her series the Devil's Nightmare MC into this story and reading her next book will let you know what happens to Trixie. I enjoyed this book so much that I gave it a 4-star rating. I wish it had been longer and had more spicy scenes. For that, I gave it a 3 out of 5. This book can be read as a standalone but I suggest starting at the beginning of the series to get all of Breaker's back story. I think the events that happened make this book more understandable. Sarge is up next and I can't wait to see who he ends up with.

Boone is a man who can't keep a woman. Every woman he's fallen in love with and had children with has left him. Even taking his daughters so they aren't in his life. He's come to terms that he'll never meet 'the one' in his life. And he's okay with that. Until Miranda's car breaks down in front of the clubhouse with a snowstorm on the way. Miranda is a woman who's lost everything. Her son was lost due to a hit and run and her husband left her. She's moving to be with her sister who is pregnant and recently lost her husband in combat when she breaks down. Miranda ends up staying at the club with Boone while waiting to get her car fixed but parts keep getting delayed so they spend more time together. When her sister's due date approaches Boone takes Miranda to Idaho and spends more time with her there. They both realize fairly quickly that they each found 'the one' they've wanted most of their life.
I gave this book a 3 star rating because there was no action and barely anything to do with the MC itself. While the story was good, more like a biography of Boone and Miranda's relationship we didn't really learn much of Boone's life in the club or as President and that's what I was expecting and wanted. The book was left on a cliffhanger to roll over to Crackers book which is next. I hope in that book we'll see more of the club and the origins of Zane and Kade who are two of my favorite characters from the series.

Reno is a prospect for the club and has been doing everything he can to earn his bottom rocker. Of course the Supreme Masters are back and the club breaks up one of their rituals and that's where Valencia comes in. The cult was going to cleanse her of her sins and the Iron Vex saved her just in time. Since that moment Reno has been fighting his attraction to her until he can't anymore.
No one knows who Valencia is or where she comes from. She feels safe within the club and it feels like home to her. Valencia is scared that if the club finds out who she really is they will kick her out instead of dealing with the baggage that comes with her. Valencia reaches a turning point the night of Beretta's wedding when she gives in to her attraction to Reno. Just when Boss tells Reno to find out what Valencia's plans are - staying with the club becoming a club whore or working and chipping in - she decides she wants to start living again. She thinks about going back to school to finish her degree and getting a car. Really starting to make the Iron Vex her home since it feels more like home to her than her real one.
But of course secrets don't die. They come back to bite you. Unlike Elizabeth Knox's other books and how graphic they are when the trouble starts, this book was more subdued. Valencia's problems should have been a lot bigger considering how her past was described but when confronted with it was mild. The club takes on a new guest, Drifter when he helps Reno and Valencia escape trouble while heading home from their date. After that Boss tells Reno and Berretta to find out who she is and where shes from. Reno happened to be in the right place at the right time when he comes across a cult member and what the cultist confesses to him blows his mind but let's him learn part of what Valencia is hiding.
With the support and backing of the club and Reno, Valencia stands up to her past. She doesn't cower in fear anymore scared of what would happen if she didn't. She knows what she wants and she's not taking no for an answer. Did Elizabeth Knox give her the happy ending she wanted? Or did she get trapped with her past? Did Reno finally earn his place and the girl? And who has baby fever in the club? I'll give you a hint....it's more than 1 person!
This is not a standalone book. In this series, the end of a book starts the next one off so you need to read them all from book one. The next book was set up to be a good one. Drifter sticks around New York and helps the Iron Vex when another lady finds herself in trouble. I can't wait to read and find out if Drifter becomes a part of the Iron Vex MC permanently.
Armor is full of secrets that he is keeping from just about everybody. He's working with the Reapers MC in Montana to save victims that need saving. He blames himself for what happened with Breaker and his lie of a relationship and he is falling head over heels for someone that he shouldn't even look at that way. What's going to happen to him when all his secrets come out? I think he should just be honest with his brothers about a few cause he would actually have help to watch his back when something goes wrong. And you know it will cause it always does.
Hammer is the Reapers MC regent that is with the Satan's Raiders MC now since Inc went to Montana to be the regent there and also be with the woman and man he loves and their children. Hammer has been getting used to the clubs and their members. Learning what he needs to know when his sister Jada shows up from Montana. She missed Hammer and wanted to see him. She knows club life so she is one sassy feisty lady and is instantly attracted to Armor when she arrives. Hammer is pissed she showed up but he understands and loves having her there to visit. But once she catches Armor's eye and he decides he has to have her their relationship takes off. And they keep it a secret from everybody especially Hammer cause they know he will be pissed.
While all that is going on the club is still in danger from the 17s. They want Satan's Raiders MC destroyed and will do anything to do it. Armor being the SAA feels all types of guilt that it was his job and he didn't see it coming cause he was preoccupied with Jada and his other secret venture. On top of that, Hammer's daughter shows up at Halloween to surprise her dad and man it was the wrong time to come. Something bad happens at the Halloween party the club has from the 17s and the bad just keeps coming. Armor's secrets all come out and even Jada feels betrayed by him for his lies. He does finally make his way to his goal enemy but once he does he might wish he never had. I don't want to give any spoilers so I'm going to leave it at that. You'll have to read to know the answer.
This book leaves in a bit of a cliff hanger that you'll have to read Fury's book to find out what happens. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading from book 1 so that you can have the backstory on everything that happened and why the 17s are after the club. If you want to know about Hammer and the regents thing they have going on you'll have to read Elizabeth Knox's series Reapers MC. I would at least read Hammer's book from that series!. I gave this book a 4 cause it was really good. I couldn't get fully invested in who Armor as a person cause he just told so many lies no matter that he didn't have bad intentions. A liar is a liar. But Jada was a kickass woman who was strong enough to hold on through the roller coaster she was taken on!
This book is about Kiera, the goddaughter of a Politician and ex-wife of MMA Champion Conor Kelly. Kiera and Conor have 2 daughters together, Una and Fia. When Conor's career stopped he started turning his anger and fists towards Kiera and she left him to protect herself and her daughters. Even moving far away and hiding her location doesn't stop him from finding her and doing what he does best. As much as she tries to shield her daughters so they don't see it or know what happened, the girls are too smart for that. I mean a bullet goes off in their house and it's not going to make them wake up and ask questions? Come on now, that's just unrealistic.
After the last time she got hurt at the hands of Conor her godfather called in a favor to the MacKenzie's and that's when we met Shaun. There is an instant attraction between the two but Shaun tries to hold to his guns and keep things professional and not crossing that line. He started caring about Kiera and her girls and just wanted Conor gone so they would be safe. Well that certainly didn't last to long but it was a drag to get there. Only small parts of the book to me focused on their relationship and the build up and execution of it. We do see others from the Brotherhood in this book including Shaun's adoptive brother Bishop. I really hope he gets a book soon cause he's an awesome character. The book says it can be read as a standalone but I don't see that. You have to at least read the 1st book in the series to understand things going on. Next up in Ronan's book and I hope it can hold my attention unlike this book did.
Falcon is the President of the Deathstalkers. He rules with an iron fist but isn't as hardcore as some President's are unless someone messes with his brothers or anyone he cares about. For years he's been friends with Hermoine who owns the local coffee shop The Java Zone. He's been in love with her for years but didn't want to ruin their friendship by acting on it. Hermoine has also had a crush on Falcon for years and tries to flirt with him every now and then but never acts on her crush because she didn't think he would feel the same way. To everyone in the community she is a blessing. She tries to help everyone out when she can and is just a nice, caring person to everyone.
She's never had a problem at her shop until one day a biker she's never met comes in and is rude to one of her customers so she throws him out and he doesn't like that. The trouble starts with a broken window and escalates from there. Falcon finds out and vows to protect her but some things you can't protect people from. Hermoine's life changes so drastically learning most of her life has been a lie that Falcon is the only person she can trust and feels safe with especially after he saves her. She tries to go back to living her normal life but trouble just keeps coming and Falcon and his brothers are the ones there for her. This book does have triggers in it so be warned. Hermoine goes through hell but she's a survivor and stronger than she thinks she is especially with Falcon by her side.
Overall this was a great partnership between Elizabeth Knox and A.M. Myers. I hope they continue to write the rest of the series together. Horseman's book is up next and I can't wait to read that one.
I was wanting more depth to the characters in order to rank it higher. The story had potential and was why I continued reading. Even though I didn't connect with the characters I still am intrigued to want to know more about this series.
I liked certain elements of this story more than the first book and others less. I didn't really connect with the characters until the end. However, this really is an interesting premise and I look forward to seeing where the series goes.
I had high hopes for this book but it felt rushed. I had read about Gamble in some of the other books and was goping to get more of an idea of her story. Sadly, it didn't.
I'm a fan of this author but this one doesn't work. A lot of the Royal BStards MC has been hit and miss. I'm at the point of giving up and just concentrating on the authors from an individual aspect where they can flesh out the details instead of trying to tie different writing styles and stories together.
First things first, read the author's warning, this isn't a light and fluffy read, there are violent and explicit scenes. There are several things that might set off more sensitive readers, if that isn't your thing this isn't the book for you, you've been warned.
The story starts with the sadness of Riva, who volunteered to be a surrogate for a close friend but lost her baby in the thirty-eighth week. Then we switch to explicit erotic sex as Mammoth is testing out talent for his club's porn business. These two have known each other for over a year but Mammoth is ready to make his move on her when he sees her on his flight home.
Riva has been tormented and harrassed ever since she lost the baby. When she tries to run away from the problems her tormentors decide to kill her and she reaches out to Mammoth for help.
This story moves fast and while this is Mammoth and Riva's story there are several other arcs that left me feeling a bit disconnected. It felt like it was going in multiple directions that didn't feel cohesive. There were heavy hard core porn at the beginning and then almost nothing until toward the end of the book. Gamble's daughter has been shot and the culprit needs to be hunted down but that isn't fleshed out well and doesn't have much to do with our couple. There's also changes in the future for their club. Meanwhile Mammoth and Riva are driving all over four different states and interacting with different clubs for help with the cartel trying to kill her, rather than his own club.
I loved that several of the clubs were led by woman and maybe if I'd read the other books related to this it would have made more sense but as a stand alone it left me feeling like I was missing information that might made everything make more clear.

Crina Lazar's family is part of the Romanian Clans. When she refuses to be married off by her father she finds herself working for Crave, LLC.
Charles 'Chaz' Beaumont is assigned to to help Crina with all her questions regarding MC life. They are like oil and water for over eighty percent of this book.
Crina is free with her sexuality, she's bisexual and loves the darker side of kink. She's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in and I really liked that about her.
This book wasn't for me, there are too many story arcs pulling a reader different directions and no resolution to any of them. If felt like the story was going one way, then it stops takes turn, then stops and takes a different turn. leaving me wondering what the hell is going on. Most of the interaction between the supposed couple isn't pleasant for the majority of the book AND Crina sleeps with his father. I try to keep an open, broad mind reading dark romance but that felt like it was there only for shock and or ick value and had no real purpose to the story.
As I was reading I thought the book was going to finally turn a corner and actually focus on Chaz and Crina's relationship when it ends abruptly. The author gives a brief explanation for the abrupt ending but it didn't change how I felt about the book, nor the ending, it felt like an unfinished book.
Not my cuppa.

Per author's note 'Deceptive Love' is extremely triggering, and it is only recommended to read if you have little to no triggers.
Valentin Volkolv is the heir to the Russian Bratva. He detests his father and vows to be better than him. He had his wife killed for betraying him and is raising his step son along side his own son.
Sofia is a mafia princess, destined for an arranged marriage. She knows and accepts what is expected of her and dreams of finding love in her arranged marriage.
Desmond Mackenzie is heir to the Mackenzie mafia in Ireland. He lost his wife to a hit and has a young son. His father is dying and his mother is in hiding and he's destined to take over sooner than he'd like.
The mafia world is brutal and this story reflects that with it's deal making and betrayals. Each of these characters are tough, pragmatic and brutal in their own way. Making tough choices necessary in the world they live in.
I read this in one sitting, knowing their story would not be finished at the end but still falling into their complicated, dangerous world. Can't wait for the second part of this duet.

Scott 'Stoney' Dane is the president of the Devil's Riot MC and Tala 'Boss' is the president of the Iron Vex MC.
This is a cross over short story bridging the two MC worlds as they meet to join forces to deal with cults that are kidnapping, torturing and killing women.
These two are like oil and water but they aren't above a little hate sex. There's no love lost between these two but can they work together long enough to stop the killings? This is just the beginning to wet your appetite, the ending has yet to be written.

Drama, violence, twists and turns, and a heart warming second chance romance for you to enjoy.
Content warning there are violent scenes that may be difficult for sensitive readers.

Ruby Braxton is only able to go to the prestigious Stonewall University due to a full ride scholarship. But it comes with strings, the Scorpio Society will take it all away if she doesn't join them and do their bidding. After being attacked and raped on campus she moves to her brothers club the Reapers MC.
Santiago 'Zorro' Medina is a member of the Reapers who tends to stay in the background but Ruby brings him out, wanting to be more for her.
I've missed a few books in this series and I think there was backstory that might have filled in the blanks I felt in this book. Zorro and Ruby have a steamy connection and I wish we'd had more time with them.
This story felt like the beginning of a larger story. Zorro and Ruby get their happily ever after but there were several arcs left unresolved or open ended, leaving me wondering where the rest of the book was until I read the author's note at the end explaining which future books would resolve the other storylines.

Bailey is a smart, talented computer tech, with a crappy mom and sister. When she allows a man she dated briefly to stay a few nights on her couch, little did she know the Pandora's box she was opening. It took too long for her to get this abusive man out of her life but she took her revenge and fled.
Spyder and Bailey hook up after Bailey makes a pit stop in a local bar. That night left a lasting impression on both of them. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and I was happy
Bailey returned to Spyder. Bailey's abusive ex is stalking her, while her family trashes on her, so Spyder takes her under his wing.
I really liked this couple, steamy, off the charts heat. However, I was surprised by the spanking and biting on their first night with no discussion, especially after he knew she had been traumatized by her ex. There were some transitions issues that had me going back to check what I read and there were some word choices that didn't quite fit the scene. Even though the book ends abruptly, I still enjoyed their story and look forward to more books with this new MC.
As with many MCs there are scenes that may be difficult for some readers due to violence, abuse and sexual practices.

I like Gamble. She has been in a difficult place and has managed to come through it. I think that she's willing to do a lot of things to keep herself safe, and I don't blame her for that, because she's got to deal wit Rancid, and she has to walk carefully there.
Hart, the male main character, is kind of a blank for me. We really don't learn too much about him. He was in another one of the RBMC books, so maybe there was more info about him in that book. I'll have to read it and find out. He seems like he's an OK guy.
I'm giving this a 3.5. I liked the story overall, but I felt like it was rushed and not quite complete. It's more like the first part of a story and not a complete one.
Roxy is married to Rage, the Prez of the Demons of Hell MC. Rage's name fits him well. He's full of rage, and he takes it out on Roxy. He's spent most of their whole marriage beating her and passing her around to members of his MC as well as other MCs. He's treated her just terribly, but she's stuck by him because she knows if she tries to escape, he will hunt her down. But now, she's pregnant, and Rage doesn't know yet, and she's not sure when she will tell him, but she wants to just be the best mom she can be. Right until he beats her with a baseball bat.
Tex is Rage's best friend. They both met Roxy when she was a teenager, but Tex was dating her first. Then Rage pushed in and took over. He's spent all the years til now watching what happened to her. He stayed away as much as possible, and since the worst things that Rage did happened when he was gone, he doesn't know everything that's happened. But when he comes home to find her laying 98% dead on the sidewalk outside the clubhouse, he knows it's time to do something.
Hmmm... I would get knocked in and out of the story. There were times that I really loved what was going on, but then there were also times when I just didn't like what was happening at all. There is some graphic description of abuse that happens in the book. I felt, overall, like it was almost 2 books pushed together, and I think that it would've worked better if it had been broken down into 2 separate stories. That way the love story that happened would have gotten more attention and would've gotten the attention that it deserved. I really liked that part and would really love to see more of it.
It kinda feels like a similar story to the previous book, but overall, it's not a bad story, and I like the power that Ashley gains back.

Ivar saved Starla years ago when he found her beaten, walking down the highway, and stopped to help her. Starla joined them on the road being a clubwhore and settled down in Florida with them when they did. Ivar and Starla have always had a connection and kept things as friends so romance wouldn't ruin it until Ivar can't ignore it anymore. With the enemies the club has been fighting and Starla taking drastic measures to protect the club have left her head spinning and she hasn't been herself. When she is given an opportunity for more she takes it and Ivar with it. The club has enemies to deal with as well as Starla having to go home to settle her past.
I gave this a 5-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. The relationship that grew between Starla and Ivar once they gave in to each other was beautiful. These 2 were meant to be and just work together. I'm sad we won't see the Raiders anymore for a while but the way this book ended showed that they will be back and I can't wait to see what Elizabeth Knox gives us. I recommend reading this one.
