ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 8, 2026

Three hearts. Two months in Europe. One trip that changes everything.

Ava

I don’t trust easily, and I never give anyone control.

But Lycan isn’t a man I can say no to. He’s dangerous, dominant, and far too good at finding the cracks in my armor. I told myself I’d survive two months in Europe with him. Instead, I woke up in Copenhagen with a ring on my finger, blood on my teeth, and something feral living under my skin.

Then his gorgeous, infuriating ex shows up, and I learn the worst thing about wanting two people is how hard it is to resist either of them.

Lycan

I’ve never been in love. Ever. Not even with the one man I’d have burned the world down for.

But Ava Vanderbilt is exactly the kind of trouble I’ve spent my life avoiding. Untouchable. Brilliant. And mine on paper for the next thirty days. I only meant to get her through her transition. I didn’t mean to keep her.

Then Poe crashes back into my life and decimates everything I thought I knew about myself.

Poe

I told myself I came for the job. For the pack. Because my Alpha needed the favor.

I lied.

Lycan can bring me to my knees with a look. Ava’s a good girl with a filthy soul, and my wolf instantly recognizes her as his, despite the diamond on her finger. Together, they make me weak.

I’m used to running when things get hard, but once I get caught in this twisted thing between the three of us, there’s nowhere left to hide.

REVIEW:BLOOD AND TROUBLE is the third instalment in Jena Doyle’s contemporary, adult RBMC: HELENA MT erotic, paranormal, romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC worlds. This is wolf shifters Lycan Mitchell, businesswoman Ava Vanderbilt, and Poe’s polyamorous story line. BLOOD AND TROUBLE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including Dom/sub MM, MF, MFM relationships, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Lycan, Poe, Ava) BLOOD AND TROUBLE follows Ava as embarks to Europe in an effort to secure some new investors for the family business. Along with her security Lycan Mitchell, Ava finds herself on the cusp of a new path going forward, a new path that involves a transition, two mates, enraged vampires and witches, and a power she never knew existed. Ava Vanderbilt was completely unaware of her heritage, her shifter genes, and those of her siblings , most of whom had already gone through the transition and found their mates but Ava always went in a different direction, and our heroine found herself falling for two men whose previous relationship together ended acrimoniously and heart breaking. Someone is targeting Ava, and with it, taking aim at the men whom she loves.

The world building follows dark magic and obsession, transitions and immortality, and a supernatural world of beasts, vampires, madness and witches, history and lore. The human population is blinded to the reality of the paranormal, the supernatural must keep their existence a secret.

The relationship between Ava, Lycan and Poe is an MM, MF, MFM , Dom/sub relationship. Lycan and Poe were once lovers but their break up would destroy any chance of a future. Ava and Lycan married following a night of drinking and dancing but Poe would be the first to claim our heroine as his mate. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of magical and supernatural secondary and supporting characters including but not exclusive to: Alpha and President Kodiak, Ava’s sisters Guinevere and, Maeve and her mate Mill, Sol and VP Orion, Lycan’s twin sister Ren, and their sister Channing, MC members Moose, Serpent, Ruby and Talon, Aquila Locust and Bow, and pack healer Morwyn, as well as several members of the RBMC Copenhagen and London chapters ,witch Bridge, and Ava’s ex Scott Fitzgerald.

BLOOD AND TROUBLE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is detailed and dramatic; the romance is limited but fated; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic. BLOOD AND TROUBLE ends on a happily ever after-for now-the conflict has yet to be resolved.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 17, 2026

The only thing more dangerous than a Grave Prowler is a Grave Prowler on a mission…

Fool

From the moment I saw her, I knew. She’s not just another woman. She’s mine. Pure and untouched, I can’t resist her soft smile, her huge heart, or her sharp mind. But she’s also unaware of the darkness that lurks just out of sight until it’s knocking on her door.

Evil can steal her away from me, but the coward that takes her doesn’t know who he’s messing with. I’d tear down the world for her. I’d burn it all to the ground. I’ll dance on his ashes the minute I get her back.

Because this isn’t just a rescue, it’s a promise that no one will ever dare to threaten what’s mine again. The club has a saying ‘Eye for and Eye. Tooth for a tooth.’ and they’ll get what’s coming to them. No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it.

•••••

REVIEW: APRIL’S FOOL is the first instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult GRAVE PROWLERS MC erotic, MC romance series, a second generation spin-off set in the author’s DEVIL’S RIOT MC worlds. This is former US Navy SEAL Beckham ‘Fool’ Underwood, and twenty-two year old, university student April’s story line.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (April, Fool, Twister) APRIL’S FOOL follows in the wake of the introduction of our storyline couple. The Grave Prowlers MC and the Devil’s Riot MC want to form an alliance, and in an effort to shore up trust, the President of the Devil’s Riot MC Twister (Twister’s Survival / Devil’s Riot MC) , demands Beckham ‘Fool’ Underwood, become his ‘daughter’s’ shadow at school, as he suspects not all is well on campus. April is keeping secrets, and with it, she is struggling with a ghost from the past that refuses to let go but within days of the MC’s arrival on campus, April is targeted and the ‘threats’ have become personal and dark. A need to claim, a marriage proposal, and a wedding culminate with another threat and betrayal, and this time, our heroine finds herself at the mercy of a dangerous foe.

The world building focuses on the building relationship and the threats against our story line heroine. From clubhouse to campus, the MC protect their own, and April has quickly been claimed by the Grave Prowlers MC.Not as dark as some MC series and story lines, the violence is mostly implied.

The relationship between Fool and April begins at April’s twenty-second birthday. Fool is a guest but quickly discovers his attraction to April must be tempered in the wake of Twister’s proclamation of off-limits but Twister has no idea about Fool’s attraction to April, and placing Fool in April’s orbit brings our couple closer together in the face of threats against our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are passionate .

We are introduced to several members of the Grave Prowlers MC-president Cannon, VP Hornet, enforcer Hazard, as well as the return of the Devil’s Riot MC membership and extended family-Twister,Horse, Thorn, Hades, Badger, Burner, Brass; April’s estranged father Mikey, and her best friends Kayla and Mercy, as well as ex-boyfriend Samuel.

APRIL’S FOOL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and obsession, power and control, family and relationships,acceptance and love.The character driven premise is dramatic and intriguing; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are energetic, desperate and determined.

•••••

REVIEW:REBELLIOUS is the tenth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: LEGACY GENERATION dark, erotic, MC series, a spin off set in the author’s DEATH DWELLERS MC world focusing on the multi-generational family, and dysfunctional membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples plays a significant role throughout the legacy series. REBELLIOUS should not be read as a stand alone, as it picks up after the events of EXPLOSION #9. I also recommend having a working knowledge of the series and the characters as much of the current timeline is as of a direct result from the previous instalments in both series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including strong language, graphic violence and SA, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Many of the main characters are under sixteen years of age but the series is intended for adult readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including but not limited to club president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell and his wife Meggia, their son CJ, their daughter Rebel, Rory, Ryan, Kaia, Diesel, Johnnie, Kendall, Easton and Mortician REBELLIOUS follows numerous intersecting pathways, personal betrayals, and obsessive behaviors of the Caldwell family, and the Death Dwellers MC. Heir to the Death Dwellers MC legacy, seventeen year old CJ struggles with a need to prove he is a man, while his fourteen year old sister Rebel, has fallen in love with a man twice her age. Broken hearts, betrayal, and the proverbial knives to the heart and back threaten any chance of happiness for everyone involved. Johnnie and Kendall’s relationship may be permanently broken, while Meggie and Christopher’s relationship grows stronger. Diesel battles between head and heart knowing to act on his feelings could end his life, and Mortician is conflicted about his recent behavior having betrayed the woman he claims to love.

REBELLIOUS, like all of the previous instalments is a dark, gritty, dramatic and tragic story of betrayal and vengeance, violence and murder, secrets and lies, jealousy and infidelity, poverty and excess, family and relationships. The character driven premise is detailed, complex and intense; the characters are tragic, questionable, disrespectful, and controversial-again, I see no redeeming qualities for anyone including the younger children who have been forced to grow up too fast in an effort to survive. The children are miniature versions of the adults they have chosen to emulate, adults who are controversial and problematic most of whom are spiralling out of control. The language is graphic, strong, and not for the faint of heart but saying all of that, I am now trapped in the abyss with the Death Dwellers MC- watching from the sidelines as their lives implode

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 26, 2026

Twila
I’m the deputy of Paradise, a side-hustle wrestler in Hell, and the Sheriff’s daughter, which means most men in Kentucky look at me like I come with headlocks and handcuffs. Not to mention a curfew and my daddy’s shotgun. I’m tired of road checks, loose cows, and breaking up fights over who called who a heifer at the Piggly Wiggly. I want a real case.

Then more girls in Hell start going missing. And I catch Whiskey red-handed, blood on his knuckles, and a terrified girl on his Harley. I think I’ve finally got my chance to prove myself.

Before I can arrest him, he takes me.Now I’m trapped with the most dangerous King in Kentucky, a tattooed biker with a filthy mouth, a record, and a softer side I never saw coming, a kid depending on him. The sexy biker is a single dad. He swears the club isn’t behind the mess.

Every mile I spend in his hands makes it harder to remember I’m supposed to hate him. Especially when he keeps touching me like he’s already decided I belong to him.

Whiskey
Twila Dix is Sheriff Dix’s daughter, Paradise’s deputy, and a mouthy little menace with a badge and a right hook. She saw too much on the wrong night and understood just enough to get herself killed, so I took her before Pearly Gates could. Call it a public service if you’re feeling generous.

I’ve already got enough on my plate keeping the Kings’ secrets, staying ahead of my past, and raising my kid without a deputy from Paradise stomping through my house, my business, and under my skin.

Now Twila’s under my roof, in my clothes, and one smart remark away from finding out exactly how fast a King can turn captivity into something a whole lot filthier.

Her daddy made sure every man in town was too scared to come near her. Lucky for me, I’ve never scared easy.

REVIEW:PROPERTY OF WHISKEY is the fifth instalment in Morgan Jane Mitchell’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF ANARCHY MC: KENTUCKY dark, erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored MC series. This is KOAMC forty year old, treasurer Jim ‘Whiskey’ Weller, and twenty-eight year old, deputy and professional wrestler Twila Dix’s story line. PROPERTY OF WHISKEY should not be read as a stand alone as there is an ongoing premise and conflict throughout.

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

SOME BACKGROUND: The small town of Paradise Falls, and the surrounding town of Hell, Kentucky has been targeted by a religious cult known as the Pearly Gates, and their leader Reverend Ezekiel Crowley. Rev Crowley rules with an iron fist, and has control of local law enforcement and politicians, threatening anyone who gets in his way.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Whiskey and Twila) PROPERTY OF WHISKEY follows in the wake of another missing young woman, thought to have been abducted by the followers of Rev Crowley. Without proof, and rumors of another runaway teen, the local Sheriff battles between head and heart, fearing repercussions from the Pearly Gates, believing the Kings of Anarchy MC are involved but all is not as it appears to be when Deputy Twila Twix, the sheriff’s daughter begins a search of her own, only to find herself a virtual prisoner of our story line hero. Whiskey Weller and the KOAMC are all too aware of the Rev Crowley’s history and determination, having rescued several women thought to be lost or gone but Whiskey finds himself falling for our story line heroine as she endeavors to uncover the truth, with or without the Sheriff’s help.

The world building continues to focus on the religious cult known as the Pearly Gates and their leader the Reverand Ezekiel Crowley. While local law enforcement fear retaliation and making good on the threats against family and friends, Twila and the Kings of Anarchy MC begin a search of their own, with the help from an unlikely source.

There is a slight nod to a potential supernatural element, hinted at in previous instalments but again, there is no revelation or proof, only speculation and a bit of a red-herring.

The relationship between Whiskey and Twila begins acrimoniously. Twila has been blinded to the rumors about the local MC, and when she finds herself a virtual prisoner of Whiskey Weller, reality of her situation reveals a man who is hoping to take down the people responsible for destroying their community. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters are numerous, energetic and determined. We are reintroduced to Several MC members including Bullet ,Holler and Lottie, Legend and Sophie , Royal and Becki, Oaks and Brittany, Derby and Legend’s sister Amelia, Twila’s ex Cal Mercer, her father Sheriff Amos Dix, Whiskey’s daughter Wren, and her mother, Holler’s sister Beth; cult survivor Kaylee Quill, and the return of Reverand Crowley.

PROPERTY OF WHISKEY is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, madness and obsession, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, dark and edgy; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are desperate, dynamic and decisive. PROPERTY OF WHISKEY ends on a happily ever after-for now, the Pearly Gates conflict and premise has yet to be resolved.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 29,m 2026

He’s a ruthless killer. She’s fighting for her life. Together, they’ll risk it all for the one they truly love.

INCUBUS

Enforcer of the Kings of Anarchy MC’s Indiana Chapter, Cullen “Incubus” MacDonald is a liar, and his lies are about to come tumbling forth, destroying everything he’s ever worked for. Incubus knows who he needs to protect and why–a lie he’s kept from his brothers. Now, with the chapter going through changes and redirection, Incubus worries his brothers won’t accept him once the truth comes out.

STELLA

On her own for as long as she can remember, Stella’s time is running out. She’s in danger, and the only person she can trust is Incubus, the one person she’s trying to protect. But, he has one job, and it’s not to protect her. His job is more important than protecting her–he must protect their secrets at all costs.

Now, with Stella’s life on the line, Incubus is torn between two loves and his duty to his brothers. How can he choose between love and loyalty when so much is at stake?

••••••

REVIEW:PROPERTY OF INCUBUS is the second instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF ANARCHY MC: INDIANA dark, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored Kings of Anarchy MC. This is Cullen aka Incubus, and his ol’ lady Stella’ s story line. PROPERTY OF INCUBUS should not be read as stand alone as Incubus begins in book one PROPERTY OF COBALT.

NOTE: For followers of DM Earl, there is a cross over with the author’s Devil’s Handmaidens MC and Grimm Wolves MC series.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read PROPERTY OF COBALT, there may be spoilers in my review

Told from dual first person perspectives (Stella and Incubus) PROPERTY OF INCUBUS focuses on the search for our story line heroine. Incubus’ ol’ lady Stella is missing, and a prisoner of the mob. Weeks will pass with only brutal images and heart break for our story line hero who is struggling with the possibility of never seeing his wife again but with the help of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and the Grimm Wolves MC, a hunt for Stella brings more disbelief and betrayal for our story line hero.

The world building follows Incubus’ spiral as he struggles with the reality of what is happening. Each chance at a rescue is met with his wife’s disappearance, and the betrayal continues to send Incubus deeper into the dark. Stella battles with the demons that refuse to let go, demons that are determined to break our story line couple.

The relationship between Incubus and Stella has been previously established. Our couple spend the majority of the story line separated-Stella as a prisoner, Incubus as a man rapidly breaking without the woman he loves. There are no $ex scenes between our story line couple.

There is another large ensemble cast of determined and desperate secondary and supporting characters including many of whom we met in the previous instalment: the KOAMC: Indiana, Devil’s Handmaidens MC, Grimm Wolves MC, the mob; Incubus’ sister Maeve, and Stella and Incubus’ daughter Isabella. The requisite evil has many faces.

PROPERTY OF INCUBUS is a twisted story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, madness and retaliation, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is dark, gritty and dramatic; the characters are struggling to survive and move forward; the romance is limited as our couple need time to heal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

••••••

REVIEW:LIFE OR DEATH by Janine Infante Bosco is the second instalment in the multi-authored contemporary, adult, FALLEN DEMONS MC erotic, romance series. This is club president Lucifer Holland, and bartender Jess’ story line. LIFE OR DEATH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucifer and Jess) LIFE OR DEATH follows in the wake of a fire that left our heroine fighting for her life. An attack on a club owned bar resulted in a fire, and Jess married to the man she blames for destroying her life. Weeks of recovery and therapy are met with antagonist backlash but Lucifer is determined to prove he is worthy of her love.

The world building focuses on healing and acceptance, as Lucifer keeps their relationship a secret from the men he commands. From hospital to her apartment, and eventually the Fallen Demons MC clubhouse, Jess must learn to navigate a new world, a new job and a new future.

The relationship between Jess and Lucifer begins acrimoniously. Jess blames Lucifer for several negative events in her life but it is Lucifer who finds himself paying for his sins in more ways than one. Lucifer lost his heart to Jess months earlier, but it will take time for Jess to heal, and accept a new direction in life. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the Fallen Demons MC including the return of Della and Shadow, and the introduction of Jess’s friend and co-worker Tori.

LIFE OR DEATH is a story of secrets and lies, healing and acceptance, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, edgy and dramatic; the romance is fated; the characters are dynamic and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 26, 2026

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.
