Michel’s Review

Writing this review has left me dumbfounded. I’m not quite sure where to start or what to say so that I don’t give away spoilers. I have attempted to draft this review several times only to hit delete. I am really struggling to find the right words to do this book and this series justice. So let me begin by talking about the series itself.

The Hell’s Bastard Series must be read in order to grasp the full intent of the story unfolding. Each book is delivered with a perfectly synchronized installment that drives this series in a new direction before reaching it’s ultimate climax. Making it unpredictable.

The Hell’s Bastard Series by Emma James is unlike anything out there. It is a dark romantic thriller that touches upon human trafficking, captivity, violence, abuse, and psychological torment. At the same time it also showcases the things that make life valuable, such as family, friendship, love, integrity, and confidence in oneself to stay true to their inner self. It’s all blended in a shroud of mystery, suspense, and danger at every turn. There is more than a warped evil villain contorting each and every move. Each installment in the Hell’s Bastard series contains one word and one word only. Pay close attention to the word title of each book. Look up the definition of each word. The title is what propels this series to the next level.

wrench
ren(t)SH/
verb
past tense: wrenched; past participle: wrenched
pull or twist (someone or something) suddenly and violently.

warp
wôrp/Submit
verb
past tense: warped; past participle: warped
1.
become or cause to become bent or twisted out of shape, typically as a result of the effects of heat or dampness.
“wood has a tendency to warp”
synonyms: buckle, twist, bend, distort, deform, misshape, skew, curve, bow, contort

con·tort
kənˈtôrt/Submit
verb
past tense: contorted; past participle: contorted
twist or bend out of its normal shape.

Contorted is the third book in the Hell’s Bastard series. It picks up where Warped left off. Whisper is being held captive by Cezar Pavel in a secret location. His psychological games are contorting what’s coming. While Whisper is desperately hanging onto her sanity and hope that Edge will find her, she’s slowly losing the battle. The things she thought she feared most are turning into something else, not quite as frightening. The unimaginable fears are beginning to materialize. It’s only the tip of the iceberg. What Cezar Pavel has in store for her makes her years in captivity with William Dupre look like childs play.

Cezar Pavel is biding his time and conditioning the girls for upcoming main event. He’s carefully chosen his sentinels to do his bidding. His rule is unquestionable. To question is not without consequences. He’s personally conditioned his executioner to kill without questions or remorse. He carefully hides their identities behind Venetian Carnival masks. These masks instill fear and complete obedience . No one knows his real identity or those of his sentinels.

Edge is desperately trying to find Whisper. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the ordinary world Cezar Pavel does not exist. In the underworld there is barely a trace of Cezar Pavel. He has completely hid his existence, he hasn’t left any crumbs to follow. The only thing that Edge can do is follow the small trail of crumbs he uncovered at the secret air hanger. It’s a waiting game where time is running out before it began. The only thing he can do is enlist the help of Boomer and his crew (Whisper’s family), call in the Soulless Bastards MC, the Lions Den MC, and Slade Malone (Ocean Beach Series). Following that one crumb turns into a meticulously synchronized rescue attempt that turns into an unpredictable and explosive cliffhanger.

As an avid reader, I am not one to shy away from dark thrillers that portray extreme violence and inhumane actions. I accept these conditions as part of the overall story. Usually at this point in a series I have an idea of what direction the series is going. I can usually loosely predict what is to come next. Contorted was a different story, what I thought was coming did not unfold. The players were as unpredictable as the plot. I was completely SHOCKED by the outcome. I cannot even imagine what could come next because I was left with so many questions as to the who’s, the why’s, and how are they all connected. I am sure Emma James has a lot in store for the readers with the last two books before Whisper can finally find her happily ever after… or should I say true beginning… true freedom. The next book is Entwined and will release in 2017. The title itself assures me that I will get some answers but will probably end up with more questions before the final book, Venerated releases.

Emma James has proven beyond a shadow of doubt how truly talented and brilliant her writing is. The vivid descriptions ( which had me Googling like crazy) and synchronized scenes told from many different POV’s made this story come to life. It was a consuming reading experience!

__________________________________

Michel’s Review

The moment Valiant by Bella Jewel went live, I downloaded and devoured the book. I have become addicted to the Joker’s Wrath MC as well as MC Sinners and MC Sinners Next Generation series. Valiant is a next generation story for the Joker MC series and features Mack’s son Jack.

Baylee is on the run from an abusive relationship that ended when he almost took her life. She took his pregnant, teenage sister with her when she ran. She is working two jobs to keep them both alive. She’s living in fear and constantly looking over her shoulder. Rae (the pregnant teenage sister) is a total brat with her abusive mouth, selfish demands, and her battle with drug addiction. A battle that becomes too much to handle. She’s dabbling with drugs once again and Baylee is doing everything in her power to keep Rae’s baby alive. The stress is beyond belief. There is no relief in sight until she reluctantly agrees to a friendship with Jack.

When Baylee met Jack she wasn’t looking for a relationship nor was she looking to make new friends. She’s working her fingers to the bone and struggling to keep Rae on the right path. A charming man like Jack has no business with a broken woman like herself.

Jack sees beyond the broken in Baylee. She’s the first woman who has said no to him. She’s the first woman to resist his charms. She is also the first woman that has really sparked his interest. He sees the wonderful , selfless, caring person that Baylee is. Her beauty is just as stunning on the inside as it is on the outside. He will do anything to convince her to take a chance on him, even if it is only friendship.

Jack and Baylee’s relationship evolves beyond friendship. She admires his close knit family and friends from the Joker’s Wrath MC. She has finally found a place where she can be herself. When her past comes hunting her down, these are the people who have her back unconditionally. In the end Baylee will have to pay a high price for that happiness.

The moment I started reading this book I was glued to the pages. I spent the entire morning reading this book rather doing what I supposed to do. Bella Jewel has a way of corrupting me with her fabulous stories. Valiant by Bella Jewel was worth giving up my morning work schedule for… I’ll just stay up all night to finish the morning work load.

When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.

A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.

When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.

I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.

My name is Daniel Johnson. I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.

And I’ll betray her too.

This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.

Excerpt

“You gotta let go now, princess. I gotta hand you over.”Her panicked gaze meets mine. “He’ll shoot you.”

“No, he won’t.”

“Yes, he will.”

I smile down at her. “What are we just gonna stand here forever, you in my arms, your dad holding a gun to my head? If he shoots me, he shoots me. Ain’t nothing I can do about that, princess. At least I’ll know I did one thing right.”

She takes a deep, shaky breath. “I’d be dead if it weren’t for you.”

I nod because it’s true. If Slayer hadn’t come at a deal, Prez would’ve eventually killed her, and he’d have tortured her some more first. “Promise me somethin’?”

“What?”

“Get on your feet and then get the hell outta here. Prez will come looking for you again. He’s not a guy who likes to lose. Take as much money as you can, and get the fuck away from this life. Otherwise you’re gonna wind up filling a body bag way too young.”

Lauren is wrenched away from me then. She screams as the Italian carts her off toward the clubhouse, flailing and slapping at him despite her injuries.

“Daniel!” she screams, reaching out toward me as he struggles to get her inside. Without thinking I take a step forward, but I’m attacked from behind. My knees go out from under me, and I’m shoved face-first into the ground.

Excerpt

On some level, I think that part of him, that abused kid carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, he’s still in there, and he calls out to the fragile, broken girl inside me. His demons rage and roar at my own, and when we’re here in bed like this, joined, our bodies grown soft with pleasure and lethargy, I think they even quiet one another. They soothe the wrath, the want to hurt, and be hurt, and they just … are. Like wild beasts snarling in the darkness, baring their jagged teeth and claws, eventually they find a middle ground, reach an impasse, and they curl up together and just be still.

And it’s enough.

We are enough.

Dead Man’s Ink Box Set

Books 1 – 3

By Callie Hart

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Three books in 1!

Book 1: Rebel
Book 2: Rogue
Book 3: Ransom

Sophia

Sometimes, you don’t mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she’s sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell bent on revenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn’t seem all that interested in playing things safe.

In fact, nothing about the secretive, dark and brooding MC president seems safe at all.

Rebel

What do you do when the man who raised you is murdered, and the only witness is kidnapped girl who’s being sold as a sex slave? You buy her, of course. As president to the most powerful motorcycle club in America, Rebel isn’t lacking in power. There are strings the man can pull, and entire criminal organisations and corporate businesses alike would fall to their knees. However, along with such power comes intense interest. The DEA have their eye fixed solely on the MC…and they’re just waiting for Rebel to trip up.

Getting Sophia to testify is the only way to bring the Los Oscuros cartel down. The beautiful, dark haired, dark eyed woman is belligerent and uncooperative and unlikely to bend to his will, but Rebel has a few tricks up his sleeve to make her compliant–he’ll charm her until she’s bending over backwards to please him.

Of course, falling for her might cause a few hiccups along the way…

* The Dead Man’s Ink series contains strong ties with the Blood & Roses series, but you do not have to have read those works in order to read this one. The Dead Man’s Ink series is contemporary romance story with occasional dark themes that some people might find confronting. *

Excerpt

The light in her eyes turned to concern and puckered her brows. “Are you okay?”His heart drummed inside of him, and he moistened his lips. Taken aback, he’d never had anyone ask him that question and feel like they honestly wanted to know the answer.

He nodded. “I’m good. A little stiff and sore but good.”

Heather shook her head and leaned closer to the table, reaching for his hand. He crossed his arms.

“Don’t be like that,” she whispered. “I care about you.”

“Don’t.”

Her eyes widened. “Don’t care?”

“Shit is going on, Heather. You look out for yourself and stay away from me.” His rapid heartbeat made his chest hurt, and he forced a deeper breath inside of him. “I shouldn’t have played around with you. You’re a good woman.”

“And, what? You’re a bad man?” Heather smirked. “Give that story to someone else. Whatever is going on with you has everything to do with you being attacked. It’s not about how I enjoy your company, and you’ve shown me you’re interested.”

“Like I said, you’re a good—”

“I am.” She stood from the table, stepped toward him, and bent down. “You’re also good. That doesn’t mean I’ll let you act like an asshole toward me. Go home, get some rest, and for God’s sake, take care of yourself.”

She kissed the top of his head, shocking him. All he could do was sit there and watch her walk up to the group of women across the room and join their conversation. She’d spoken words as if ordering him around and yet delivered them softly he could still feel the vibration of warmth she’d left behind in his chest. That feeling had him feeling better than he’d felt since he got his ass handed to him.

Heather leaned forward. Her hard, round ass pressed tight against her jeans. He stretched his leg out, leaned back in the chair, and wondered if Heather was aware of him ogling her. She shifted her hips side to side and then straightened, tilting back her head, and drinking from a bottle of beer.

Not from a glass, which Gia preferred.

Not a mixed drink, which Jana consumed.

No, Heather wrapped her slim fingers around the cold bottle and drank as if she enjoyed simply putting her lips on the glass.

Rod brushed the back of his hand across his lips. He’d taken things slow and gotten to know her without putting any demands on her and had enjoyed every fucking minute of frustration.

He hadn’t planned a relationship with Heather. It happened the moment she’d stepped forward without stepping back and decked him in the mouth. Her strength surprised the shit out of him. Most people backed away.

Drawn to that strength, he discovered pure softness. It wasn’t easy to get behind the layer of safety she carried herself. Short on sharing and hesitant of his intentions, she’d slowly let down her guard until he was afraid of hurting her. Hurting Swiss. Hurting the club.

If he were a good man, he’d have her in his bed every night and keep her to himself because he hated the thought of one of his MC brothers having her. But even Heather could see he was an asshole at heart.

He had to be.

Because he was one.

He shook his head, looked away from the woman who made him forget and stood. It was time to get out of here and go find the person after him. He never once believed the attack was a random hit.

He wasn’t that lucky.

Buy: Amazon / Amazon UK / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

Brotherhood is what Bull bleeds and all that he knows.

Being the king of The Devil’s Dust and surrounded by easy women was his everyday… until having his heart broke rooted him to the bottom of a whiskey bottle.

Heartbroken, and drowning in lost memories he’s unsure of the direction of his life, when the answer – consisting of a terrified Mexican girl- nearly knocks him off his feet.

Determined to get his act together and rectify his club, he rides to Texas for answers, only to be confronted with the emotional ghosts he isn’t ready to deal with.

He sees Anahi, and he wants her.

But she may come with more baggage than Bull is ready for.

Anahi used to be prim and proper. She used to wear dresses and keep up appearances to impress people she didn’t know. I guess you could say she was a fucking lady.

But that was when she lived in Mexico with her parents.

Before her uncle turned on her.

Before, the only man she ever loved, her step-brother, betrayed her.

Before she was forced to be a drug mule for the Cartel.

Evening gowns a lost memory, expensive heels traded for boots, and a nine millimeter in her hand instead of a limited edition purse. Anahi sets aside everything she’s ever known including the fairytale stories her mother told her about America.

She’s angry, determined, and looking for a way out.

Excerpt

“Bull?” my voice breathy.

“Yeah?”

“The last time I let someone close to me… it didn’t go well.”

He pecks a kiss on my erect nipple that was in his mouth seconds before.

“Anahi, Alvaro is a boy pretending to be a man, and I’m about to show you the difference between pretending and actually being,” he states matter of fact, his tone smug.

I smirk. “You’re so arrogant.”

He lifts his chin, his eyes finding mine. “Only one way to find out, darlin’,” he states wolfishly. “I’m going to fuck you to the point you’ll have to take your time sitting down afterwards, baby.”

With that, the head of his length presses into me. My back arches off the bed, an audible gasp leaving my lips. Bull pushes in another couple inches, filling me to the point I swear I can’t take anymore. The sensation of burning and bliss battling with one another I can’t help but fidget beneath him. I don’t know whether to cry or moan.

He slips in more, filling me to the brink and a cry rips up my throat. Bull presses his lips against mine, silencing my pain.

Fucking me like he hates me, but kissing me like he cares.

Michel’s Review

What Might Kill Us by M. N. Forgy brings the Devil’s Dust MC series full circle. The war that began in What Doesn’t Destroy Us has reached it’s final battle. The Devil’s MC will finally get retribution for the loved ones they lost. They are finally going to destroy the cartel. They have paid a high price. It’s time to destroy their enemies and put the dead to rest.

Bull, the Devil’s Dust MC President, has been buried in the bottle since Babs died. He’s losing his edge and self respect. He is an alcoholic on the path to self destruction. His brothers are trying to find a way to bring Bull back to the man he once was. They still respect their fearless leader and feel his pain. Although Bull is lost in the bottle, he is still a formible opponent. He’s deadly, ruthless, and one hundred percent dedicated to his brothers.

When he’s accidentally knocked off his feet by a terrified Mexican girl and witnesses her capture, something awakens within his soul. For the first time in years he isn’t numb. What he doesn’t realize is this is the turning point in his life. This is an open door for retribution and new beginnings.

Anhi was raised to be a princess. After her parents death she was locked away with her step brother in her uncle’s compound. Her uncle is the leader of one Mexico’s most powerful cartels. She would rather stay locked away than to become a part of this evil network. Her uncle has other plans for her. Her choice is to become a mule or be sold into slavery. Her uncle uses force to get what he wants.

Once Anhi is in the states, she’s waiting for the opportunity to escape her fate. Her fate was sealed the moment her uncle forced her to transport his drugs. The one opportunity she did have failed. She was captured on the streets after she ran into a biker and lost her momentum. She has lost all hope until a biker shows up in Texas looking for drugs and answers.

Bull and Anhi are worlds apart but also tied together by one moment in time. The more information Bull uncovers in Texas seals their fate. He has finally found something more important than the bottle. This time he is going to save the girl.

M. N. Forgy gave Bull the justice he needed. She handled his addiction, his despair, and healing with great care. She showed the darkest moments as well as the elating moments. She allowed Bull to heal and become a stronger man. She also gave him a second chance at love and happiness. Well done!

Michel’s Review

Last Ride by Chantal Fernando brings the Wind Dragons MC full circle. This novella not only features the couple that started it all, it also packs some surprises, and takes the series in a new direction. I have become addicted to the Wind Dragons MC and the dynamic men and women that make this series come alive.

Dex (aka Sin ) is the president of the Wind Dragons MC. His old lady Faye is the heart of the Wind Dragons. Her dynamic personality, the ability to cut through the bull, and her fierce dedication has earned the respect of these hard core bikers. She is rock for the other old ladies who love these complicated men. She is also a mother of two young children, a lawyer, and consultant for the FBI. She tackles everything in her life with gusto and grace. When Faye becomes missing the Wind Dragons are frantic.

The Wind Dragons don’t know where to begin the search. Could it be their rival enemy The Kings MC or is it something sinister that she’s working on with the FBI? Sin is lost without Faye. He doesn’t feel like he is doing his job as the leader of the Wind Dragons. He can’t separate his love for Faye and the duties demanded by the club.

The Wind Dragons take care of their own. They will go to any lengths to find Faye. Once they do find her the retribution is going to be deadly.

I won’t say much more except it brings this series full circle and takes it in a new direction. There are still a few members of the Wind Dragons that are screaming for their own stories. Get ready to ride with the Wind Dragons as they are at Crossroads, coming in March 2017.

Wild Ride – Book 4.5

Internationally bestselling author Chantal Fernando brings fans another sexy motorcycle novella in the Wind Dragons MC series, as rival club president Talon has to decide what’s more dangerous: facing down the WDMC, or losing his heart to a woman under their protection.

Talon has a complicated relationship with the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. He’s the president of their rival club, the Wild Men, but he’s also related to one of their members—who hates him. He could handle that, but he’s also got problems in his own club; someone is leaking information and disrupting their business, but Talon can’t find the mole. So the last thing he needs is even more complication in the form of a beautiful single mother who’s bolder than half the bikers on his squad. But he can’t take his eyes—or his hands—off her…

Tia’s always been a little reckless, up for a good time wherever she found it, but she’s also a great mom to her young son. So even though she thinks Talon is basically sex on a stick, when she realizes she wants to be more to him than just a club groupie, she has to take things a bit slow. Plus, a momentary attraction, no matter how smoking hot, isn’t worth risking her son’s happiness in any way. Is there any chance that Talon might be up for a more permanent arrangement? Or has Tia leapt before looking once again?

Ranger is at a crossroads: he has a chance to leave the motorcycle club and do something else with his life—but he keeps getting dragged back. When the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club asks for his help, Ranger agrees, not only because it is hard to say no to them, but also because he has a vested interest.

A woman is missing.

And Ranger knows her.

The Wind Dragons aren’t the only ones hoping this girl can be found—on the hunt is Johanna Chase, a stubborn detective who won’t give up until the missing woman is found safe.
