Her father would bury me for touching her. I’m getting her back anyway.

Thunder

She said no more lies. She said we were done. Now she lives two cabins from my front door. I see her every damn day, building her life on this ranch like I’m not standing right here, and she looks straight through me like I’m a fence post.

I let her go once. I told her I’d give her time. I never told her I’d give her up. I’ve got a bullet fragment in my hip and a limp I’m fighting out of with every minute of PT they’ll give me, and I’m doing every second of it for one reason. She’s not going to look at me and see a broken man.

She’s going to look at me and see the same one who put his hand in her hair and made the rules—the one who broke every single one of them for her.

Her family’s still in pieces. Her sisters barely speak to her. Her father still doesn’t know his Sergeant at Arms has had his hands all over his youngest daughter, and if he finds out, there’s a hole out past Big Spring with my name on it.
I don’t care.

I’ve got something inked on my neck now. Got it while she was gone. She hasn’t seen it yet. When she does, she’s going to know exactly what it means. She’s going to know I never stopped. She’s going to know that every day she spent hating me, I spent loving her harder.

Rules are done, rattlesnake. No more sneaking around in the dark. No more pretending you don’t feel it. I’m coming for you in the daylight. And I’m not asking.

REVIEW: THUNDER is the first instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult SHOTGUN SAINTS MC: KINGS OF THE ROAD erotic, cowboy, MC, romance series, a spin off set in the author’s SHOTGUN SAINTS world, which in turn is set in the Reaper’s Rejects Worlds. This is SAA Thunder, and twenty-two year old, cattle breeder Presley Hutchins Lyle’s story line. THUNDER should not be read as a stand alone, it is recommended to read Presley’s novella, found in the SHOTGUN SAINTS MC: The Complete Series boxset, as well as PHANTOM book three. If you have not read either story line, there may be spoilers in my review.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Presley and Thunder) THUNDER follows in the aftermath of an attack on the Shotgun Saints MC. Thunder is in recovery with bullet wounds inflicted months before, while Presley struggles to find a place with the family that knew nothing about her existence. Working for the Shotgun Saints MC cattle breeding program, Presley finds herself on the outside looking in but for one man who is struggling to accept he is no longer able to do his duties to the club . An organization known as The Firm is taking aim, and the Shotgun Saints MC may be facing their most dangerous foe to date. Meanwhile, Presley and Thunder’s relationship crosses the line of no return, and with it, incurs the wrath of the man in charge.

The world building focuses on animal husbandry, the rejection by family for a perceived betrayal, and the protection of the members and their family of the Shotgun Saints MC. We are witness to rebuff of an innocent woman caught in the crossfire between family members, and the search for a woman, everyone knows is dead and buried. The original conflicts continue into the new spin off, conflicts that will pit the members against a foe they can not take down.

The relationship between Thunder and Presley is one of the forbidden. Presley is the youngest daughter of MC president Phantom, and as such, is off limits to the members of the MC. Thunder is a single father whose attraction to Presley has been stifled by a possible career ending injury but Thunder is determined to work-through the pain and humiliation as watches from the sidelines as the woman he loves suffers at the hands of the people who refuse to accept her existence. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of familiar, colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the original SHOTGUN SAINTS MC series including president Phantom and his wife Marlena, road captain Banshee and Bex, Shadow and Grace, Rogue and Hadley, Phantom’s son and Presley’s half-brother Shiver (Reaper’s Rejects MC), as well as Spur and Dakota, and Thunder’s daughter Raine.

THUNDER is a fast paced story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and rejection, acceptance and love. The character driven premise dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and a little bit broken.

He left her to save her. It didn’t work.

Rooster

I left her with a kiss and a lie.

Ten years ago, I made the woman I loved a promise. Then I broke it the only way that kept her alive—by disappearing without a word and praying the men hunting me would never know her name.

I told myself it was the right thing. That she’d move on, marry someone who could give her the life she deserved.

I was wrong.

She didn’t move on. She got taken.

And now she’s standing at my gate, a decade older and a lifetime harder, and she’d rather be anywhere else.

She doesn’t want my apology or my excuses. She wants a roof over her head until she can disappear, and for me to look her in the eyes and tell her why I left.

I’m going to do both.

But I’m not letting her disappear. Not this time. The men who took her are coming for her again, and the only thing standing between her and them is the man she has every right to hate.

I broke my last promise to her.

I’ll die before I break another one.

REVIEW:ROOSTER’S REMORSE is the fourth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult REAPER’S REJECTS MC: MEXICO-Second Generation erotic, MC, romance series, set in the author’s Reaper’s Rejects MC world. This is prospect Finn “Rooster’ Kincaid, and Camila ‘Mila’ Bacani’s story line. ROOSTER’S REMORSE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers .

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rooster and Mila) ROOSTER’S REMORSE follows in the wake of the escape and subsequent arrival of Camila ‘Mila’ Bacani. Ten years earlier, in the wake of his father’s connection to a criminal organization, Finn ‘Rooster’ Kincaid walked away from the woman he loved never knowing her whereabouts or what happened and why. Fast forward to present day, Mila has escaped from her captors of ten years, having spent a decade as a sexual slave, always hoping that one day she would be rescued by the man she once loved. Finn ‘Rooster’ Kincaid struggled with the knowledge of Mila’s past, placing the blame on his shoulders, and his need to run but Mila has arrived with an ultimatum, help her rescue the other women, or walk away and never see her again.

The world building focuses on the preparations for a rescue, a take down, and retribution for those who have come and gone. Rooster’s connection to the past forces our heroine to see beyond the truth, and in doing so, much come to terms with what happened and why.

The relationship between Rooster and Mila is one of second chances but a second chance that may be destroyed by secrets and lies. Rooster continues to struggle with his own family history, and the fall-out that destroyed the woman he once loved. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters including the members of the Reaper’s Rejects MC, and the surviving women who need time to heal and thrive.

ROOSTER’S REMORSE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and remorse, power and control, family and relationships, loss and love. The fast paced premise is dark, dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is limited but impassioned; the characters are desperate, dynamic and tenacious but not everyone is happy with Mila’s demands.

He swore he’d never touch her. She swore she’d never let him stop.

Tindra

Everyone in my family treats me like a fragile thing.

My father, who missed the first fifteen years of my life and has been overcorrecting ever since. My grandfather, who built an empire and won’t let me anywhere near it. My mother, who knows exactly what I’m doing with Bodul and pretends she doesn’t.

They think they’re protecting me. They have no idea I’ve been protecting him from them.

Nearly a year of stolen nights. Locked doors. His shirt on my floor, his hands on my hips, his name the only secret I’ve ever been good at keeping.

Then my father walked in.

The screaming. The fists. The emergency kirkja. The choice they tried to make for me. I survived all of it—and so did he. What I didn’t survive was the phone call that pulled him out of my bed in the middle of the night afterward. The two days he disappeared. The split lip and bruises he came home with and the lie he tried to tell me about where they came from.

Or the woman who bumped into me at a coffee shop yesterday and said she had a feeling we’d be seeing each other again.

I’ve grown up in this club. I know exactly what that means. Someone’s coming for me. Someone’s already gotten to him.

And the only way we make it out the other side is if the boy with the buried name finally tells me who he really is—before they make him choose between his blood and mine

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2026

I know what it’s like to be judged for someone else’s sins.

Rookie

My club looked at me differently after I let the wrong woman in. Brothers who trusted me went quiet. I became the prospect who almost got people killed because I believed a pretty face and a good lie.

I rebuilt myself from that. Brick by brick. Silence by silence. Years of proving I’m not the mistake I made.

Saylor Bell knows something about that. She’s been rebuilding her whole life.

She changed her name. Left her father’s legacy in a courtroom and walked out carrying nothing but her mother’s maiden name and the weight of a town that will never let her forget.

Her father stabbed a woman to death in a parking lot. Thirty-something times. The victim was his girlfriend, who happened to be a beloved elementary school teacher. A single mom. Someone everyone adored.

Saylor was fourteen.

She didn’t do it. She couldn’t stop it. And Morgantown punishes her for it every single day.

I won’t.

Her father’s sins aren’t hers. I know that in my bones, because I’ve lived the other side of it.

But knowing she’s innocent doesn’t make her safe. A man from her father’s prison just showed up at her mother’s door. Someone online is peeling back the name she hid behind. And the club I’d die for is bleeding information from a digital wound none of my brothers can see.

I can see it. I can fix it. And I can protect the woman they all underestimated—just like they underestimated me.

This is my shot and I won’t miss.

Njal

They called it a psychotic break. I called it the worst thing I’ve ever survived. Now I’m medicated. Stable. Paying for what I did one day at a time. My brothers gave me a second chance I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve. So, when I needed space to breathe, I rented a place an hour outside Tallahassee—close enough to ride home when they call, far enough to remember who I am when no one’s watching. That’s where I met her.

The woman whose sister has the same illness that nearly destroyed me—and who looks at my hands like she’s already seen worse. Someone’s destroying her life on purpose, one whisper at a time.

The moment she became my downfall, I knew she was meant to be mine.

Doom

Being part of a club was all I ever wanted. It was in my blood and I craved it like nothing else. The last thing I wanted to do was join my father’s–which happened to be an enemy of the Reapers Rejects.

My father was a joke, a sperm donor, a man who didn’t even want to be on my birth certificate. He only claimed me when it was beneficial to him and I owed him nothing.

I finally found my place in the world, had proven myself to the Reapers Rejects, and thought I’d be patched in soon. The club had my loyalty and I’d gladly spill my blood for them.

Then my father came and messed it all up. He was loud, belligerent, and my girl… she overheard everything.

Nova thought I was a plant. She thought my father sent me to tear down the Mexican charter, but it couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Most men would’ve hated her for what she did, but it was the moment I realized I loved her.

Nothing would tear me away from Nova, absolutely nothing.

Now, I was struggling to prove myself again to the club I’ve been part of for years, all because my father came and stuck his nose somewhere he didn’t belong.

I might have been born with Bears and Kodiak blood in my veins, but I was always meant to be a Reaper’s Reject.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 26, 2025

Pain. Pleasure. Insanity.

Everything I craved was in the depths of Hell—and I knew I’d explore every sexual fantasy that ever crossed my mind.

That’s where I met Cassius Wolfe–the devil himself.

He was the kind of man who made the entire room fall quiet. A man who snapped his fingers and his men wouldn’t hesitate to shoot you between the eyes.

He was the man who promised to ravage me while he was in the city, and he kept his promise.

I knew nothing of Cassius Wolfe before this weekend, and now I couldn’t get him out of my mind.

The only problem? I had to wait an entire year to see him again.

Ravage is a prequel to Ruin, a very dark romance that will trigger you. This book is not for the light of heart. This spicy dark romance is intended for mature audiences only.

••••••

REVIEW: RAVAGE by is the prequel novella to Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RUIN dark, erotic, BDSM romance duet, a part of the multi-authored Heaven & H*ll series. This is Cassius Wolfe, and Selene Deveraux’s introductory story.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Selene and Cassius) RAVAGE follows the unconventional relationship between owner of the underground $ex club H8ll, and twenty-three year old Selene Deveraux. Approximately eight year earlier Selene Deveraux’s life imploded, and in the ensuing time our heroine struggled to make sense of what happened and why. Searching for something, anything to help her feel, our heroine finds herself at Club H8ll wherein all of her needs will be addressed by the darkness that is Cassius Wolfe. Three days of total control, Cassius is determined to break the woman he cannot forget but when Selene demands more, Cassius pushes Selene to rethink what it is she needs.

The world building is dangerous and dark; an atypical and unconventional pairing between a woman who is lost, and a man who is determined to own our heroine body and soul. The relationship between Selene and Cassius is gritty and dark; the $ex scenes are provocative and unique.

The secondary and supporting characters are interesting and dynamic. We are introduced to Cassius’ right hand man Vincent: owner of Purgatory Lucian, as well as Selene’s best friend Emilia, and her ex David.

RAVAGE is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, death and destruction, acceptance and loss. The character driven premise is dark, gritty and dramatic; the romance is limited to sexual domination and submission; the characters are desperate and broken. RAVAGE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Cassius

Years later, I made her fall in love with me. She wears my collar. Sleeps in my bed. Runs my empire at my side. And she has no idea that the man who owns her body is the same man who destroyed her world. Selene Deveraux was supposed to be a weapon. A tool. The judge’s daughter, sharpened into something useful and aimed at my enemies. I wasn’t supposed to need her. I wasn’t supposed to break when she found out the truth, held a gun to my chest, and didn’t pull the trigger. Now the Russians are circling, her best friend is bleeding in a chair, and the woman I ruined is the only person who can save everything I’ve built.

REVIEW: RUIN by Elizabeth Knox is the eighth instalment in the multi-authored HEAVEN & H*LL dark, erotic, romance series. This is billionaire crime lord focusing on Cassius Wolfe, and Selene Deveraux’s continuing story. RUIN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up one year after the events and cliff hanger of book seven and prequel novella RAVAGE.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately eight year earlier Selene Deveraux’s life imploded, and in the ensuing time our heroine struggled to make sense of what happened and why. Searching for something, anything to help her feel, our heroine finds herself at Club H8ll wherein all of her needs will be addressed by the darkness that is Cassius Wolfe. Three days of total control, Cassius is determined to break the woman he cannot forget but when Selene demands more, Cassius pushes Selene to rethink what it is she needs.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Selene and Cassius) RUIN picks up one year after the events and cliff hanger of RAVAGE in which Cassius sends Selene away wherein she will grow into a colder, stronger and more professional partner for our story line hero, but a partner who is about to discover that the man with whom she had fallen in love in the man who broken and destroyed her world.

The world building follows Selene’s rise to power within Cassius’ criminal organization. A woman, who in one year, learned to manipulate, operate and control almost every aspect of Cassius’ organization; a woman who would become Cassius equal as well as his most feared foe.

The relationship between Cassius and Selene is predicated upon power and control; a Dom/sub scenario in which the power slowly begins to balance until the reality of what happened and why shakes the foundations of their growing love. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are powerful and intriguing. We are re- We are introduced to Cassius’ right hand man Vincent, Lionel, Peer and Paul, as well as Selene’s best friend Emilia, and her ex David. We are introduced to Natalia Cruz, one of the few heads of the criminal underworld, and Marco Salieri. The requisite evil has many faces.

RUIN is a story of power and control, betrayal and heart break, secrets and lies, forgiveness and love, grief and loss. The character driven premise is dramatic, edgy and tragic; the romance is seductive; the character are damaged, powerful and dynamic.
