Ride (Bayonet Scars #1)
by J.C. Emery
Death comes in Armani. Salvation comes in leather.
Principessa to the Mancuso crime family, Alexandra knows a thing or two about living outside the bounds of the law. Suffocated by the future her father has laid out for her, she makes a choice she can't take back, changing the entire trajectory of her life.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club for her own protection, Alex finds herself faced with the last thing she needs right now: the man of her dreams. He’s sex in leather, the devil incarnate, and one hell of a kisser. But he’s also off-limits. Ryan Stone can be her friend, but he’s forbidden to be her lover.
Third-generation Forsaken, Ryan knows nothing other than life on two wheels, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He enjoys the many privileges that come with the patch, and the only laws he recognizes are the ones set-forth by his club. That is, until who he wants more than anything isn’t allowed on the back of his bike —or in his bed. Balancing his desire for her body, and need to keep her safe, Ryan tries to keep Alex at a distance. Finally having made a choice for herself, she’s done hearing the word “no” and will push boundaries even Ryan himself doesn’t dare cross.
Love is never more tempting than when it’s forbidden.

"Death Comes in Armani. Salvation comes in Leather."
A mafia princess forsaken by placing her trust in the wrong person in a time of crisis forever changes her world as she is handed over to Forsaken MC for protection from her own family. The plot of this novel is intriguing and well executed, I was hooked in the first few pages as I was curious to see how the book would progress from Mafia to MC. This cross over story is exciting with a fast pace, violence and plot twists.
Really I think its a story about family...who far would you go to save your blood? The situation tests the bonds of blood and the revelations will leave your jaw dropping! Ryan Stone is the ba**ard that our Princess falls for against the wishes of the club as she is a rat. Their relationship is fraught with teenage angst ...she is a sheltered pampered 19 year old, whilst he struggles with his feelings and club loyalty. He behaves like a total ass for the majority of the novel and it's hard to see why she falls so hard for him...his own step mother nick named him Punk!
They have some tough times ahead and although they end with their hearts on their sleeves there ud much left to be resolved in the next book in this series. I love the other characters in this book though her Aunt and Duke to name a couple and I'm happy to continue the ride! A four star read that I didn't put down till I had finished.

I enjoyed reading this MC book. The scene was very hardcore and very fast paced. Alex and Ryan, I was rooting for them the entire book.

Thrash (Bayonet Scars #2)
Loneliness suffocates the heart. Acceptance breaks down walls.
As a Lost Girl to the Forsaken Motorcycle Club, Nicole Whelan knows how to party. She’s not cut-out for relationships and her life is way too complicated for anything more than casual encounters. But one night when she falls into Duke’s bed at the clubhouse, he sees something in her that he can’t let go of—no matter how many times she tries to run.
Having been left to raise her teenage brother, Jeremy, she’s already got her hands full and isn’t looking for anymore complications. But Duke’s just watched his best friend fall for the only girl he couldn’t have, and then almost lose her so shortly after, shaking him to his core. Faced with his own loneliness, he’s more determined than ever to break down Nic’s walls and show her that he can be good for her; but he’s got a bad track record and she’s got a bad temper. Changing his ways isn’t easy when he’s not sure what he’s even changing for.
The violence and turmoil are at an all-time high, and Forsaken is in a vulnerable place when a twist of fate breathes new life into the club. It’s a much-needed beacon of hope for the embattled biker family, even if everyone’s not exactly on board. With Duke and Nic’s relationship already on shaky ground, and something even more important at stake, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club will fight like hell to keep their family together and whole.
Love is never more precious than when it’s new.

"No spinning"....
The madness of the world stops for Duke and Nic when they accept that they are forever. Part two of the Bayonet Scars series tells the story from Dukes perspective and we gain a better insight into the bas**ard that is Trigger! We may not love him any better but we understand him and his ways a little more. The events of book one are followed in this installment and seeing it from a different point of view made me go back and re read a couple scenes with a greater appreciation. The story continues on after the high drama ending of book one...and again we have a HEA but a sweeter one this time ;)
Nic is a fab character, much more likeable than Princesse, as we see through her gruff exterior to her personal tragedies that have made her put up a brick wall round her heart. Duke also is a much warmer alpha male and he fights hard for those he loves.
I loved re reading the story from Dukes view point, it's a fantastic idea! I also enjoyed every twist and turn in their fraught love story, especially the violent scenes if retribution. It's hard to gush about how you should really give this series a chance without writing spoilers but I think this series continues to improve with each chapter. The characters are solid and likeable. I hope we see more of the mafia side soon but book two focuses more on the MC family. A fab four star read!

I found this book to be better than the last. I absolutely love biker books and this one is up there with the elite. Can't wait to see if there is another in the series
Rev (Bayonet Scars #3)
Everyone belongs somewhere. Even the misfits.
With the looming threat from the Mancuso Crime Family, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club is preparing for a war that could destroy them. Grady, the club’s Sergeant-at-Arms, knows that love makes you weak, and he has zero interest in adding to his liabilities– especially now. He’s already got his teenage daughter who keeps him on his toes and a beef within the club that could fracture his relationship with a fellow brother for good.
For Holly Mercer, her life is finally getting on track and the last thing she wants is trouble from her hometown’s resident outlaws. Keeping her nose clean is easier said than done, when suddenly she finds herself embroiled in club business. Holly might like the idea of being with a real-life bad boy, but even being in the same room with tough-as-nails Grady flusters her.
When Holly inadvertently finds herself on Mancuso’s radar, she has two choices: trust that Grady will protect her, or continue to refuse the club’s help. Both roads are dangerous, but only one has the chance to damage her beyond repair.
Love is never more dangerous than when it can destroy you

I think this is my favorite so far. Holly and Grady are a perfect match. She doesn't back down and well he is all biker!! Recommend to those who love MC books.
