Meet the alpha male bad boys in this first part to Ax and Rox’s story.

Neil “Ax” Barron walked away from the Black Thorns MC two years ago. Now he’s back as Vice President for one reason: to take out the President of ruthless rival club, the Devil’s Mavericks. A sadistic, soulless man who is also his father. Ax has his orders to carry out his mission covertly so Black Thorns isn’t thrust into open war. But when he meets his contact—a ball-busting, smart-mouthed woman—he quickly realizes he’s got his work cut out for him.

Roxana James hates bikers and a relationship is the last thing she wants. Settling down is her worst nightmare. No man will tame her! She’s content on her own and she’s done well for herself. Until a rough, dirty-talking biker turns her world upside down. He challenges everything she’s ever known.

Together they break down one another’s walls. Two opposites really do attract. The fiery connection between them quickly evolves into much more, despite resistance from them both.

But with so many forces aligned against them and Rox determined not to become part of Ax’s club life, is there really a place for their love? Or will the sacrifices needed for them to be together, come at too high a price?

Take a wild ride towards freedom and the right to love for two damaged enemies to lovers. The action never stops in this motorcycle club romance. Ax and Rox’s story concludes in SOULLESS, but their hot romance thriller won’t be the last in this series. There are many more of these tattooed heroes and alpha male bikers to meet yet.

Excerpt

“What’s your damage, woman?”

“What?” she snaps.

“You stupid? That it? Bringing a guy you dunno to your home? A guy who’s VP of a MC you call your enemy and shit?”

She smirks. “I have my reasons. Why? Are you planning on roughing me up?”

Roughing her up? If anyone else spouted the shit she’s been, disrespecting me and the club like that, wouldn’t be a question ‘bout it. Woulda been roughed up good. A done deal. But I don’t beat on women. Some of the brothers might not respect that line, but I do. Ain’t never laid my hands on a woman that way and I ain’t never gonna. Ain’t my father.

But I do wanna lay my hands on her in another way. The second she started mouthing off to me earlier, I was down for that. Had a permanent hard on since she threatened to pull her gun on me.

Talk ‘bout throwing me through a loop. Such a demented response. Know she meant business, but my dick was in the driving seat. If it’d come down to it, I probably woulda let her pull the damn thing just for the sick thrill of seeing a sight like it.

I ain’t used to women like her. In the club, they know their fucking place and shit. But this bitch ain’t nothing like them. Been messing with me all over the place since I walked into that diner. That smart mouth of hers should piss me off big time. It does, but that ain’t the end of the story. It fucking turns me on too. Fucking hot shit.

It don’t help that she’s such a fine piece of ass. Tight little body. Perky tits that’d make a sweet handful. Her silky dark brown hair that I wanna fist my hands in and tug on hard. And those deep blue eyes of hers? Fucking sexy as sin.

Yeah, she hates bikers. But I ain’t never let hatred get in the way of a good fuck. And while I’m stuck in this hell hole of a city on club business, I got time to play.

“Rough you up, huh? That what you want—my hands on you, babe?”

“I’ll break your fingers,” she fires back.

But it’s all bullshit. I ain’t blind. I see her blushing, crossing her legs all awkward and shit. She’s turned on. Mmm, yeah. I bet she’s already warm and wet between her thighs.

She stands up, tryin’ to hide it. Nice try, babe.

“Tell me what you know about Skinner’s plans.”

“Like I said; looks like he wants to set up shop here.”

“And that concerns Black Thorns how? This isn’t your territory.”

“Reirdon’s right next door to Brockford, so yeah, it concerns us, babe.”

She starts pacing slowly as she takes my words in. “All right,” she says finally, walking over to me where I’m lounging on the other couch. She stops in front of me, her arms still folded over her chest, pushing her sweet tits up and giving me a hell of a view.

“This is how it’s gonna work here. You tell me what you know. Give me all the intel you have on this latest initiative of theirs and I’ll take care of it.”

I scoff. “Ain’t happening.”

“Yes it is. I’ll take it from there,” she insists.

That’s it! This bitch dunno when to back down. Been holding back so far, thinking playing nice is the right way to go cuz she’s a woman, a tiny little thing. But to hell with that. Ain’t working. She’s a fucking ball buster and dunno when to back down. ‘Bout to fucking show her. Make her back down.

Grabbing her hips, I pull her down onto the couch, forcing her under me. She fights me—with her fists—no nails like most bitches would use. Nah, she’s all punches and kicks. Damn. Just getting me harder, babe. I grunt as her steel toe boots scrape my shins. She might be feisty, but she ain’t got the weight or muscle I got to back it up. I pin her legs with mine and capture her fists with one hand, pressing ‘em to her tits ‘til she’s at my mercy.

She grins at me then.

What the fuck? Weren’t expecting that.

Before I can figure out her game, she shows me, rolling her hips. I grunt as her pussy rubs against my rock hard dick. Fucking hell. She’s messing with me.

“So easy,” she says as she does it again, driving me insane.

“Stop,” I growl at her.

“Why?” she taunts. “It’s clearly what you want. Aww…got a hard on for me, biker boy?”

She wants to play, we’ll play. I slide my hand inside her jeans so quickly that all she can do is gasp. My fingers brush her panties and I smile to myself. Wet. Soaking wet. “Sure you hate bikers, babe? Cuz, your pussy’s craving this biker’s dick.”

“You’re disgusting,” she hisses.

Funny thing is, she don’t make no attempt to pull my hand outta her tight little jeans.

“Yeah?” I slide a finger underneath the lacy fabric of her panties and tease her drenched pussy. “I think you like that. Down and dirty.”

She bites her lip and shakes her head, tryin’ to fight it.

But I got all the proof I need on my fingers.

Our eyes lock and the heat between us almost makes me stop breathing. So fucking intense.

Jesus, I ain’t never felt nothing like it. My dick’s straining against my jeans painfully now. I’m right on the goddamn edge here.

I tease her pussy some more, and lean into her, my breath hot on her neck. “Want me to fuck you?”

She grinds against my fingers, answering me silently before panting, “Yes. But no more foreplay.”

“What?” I ask as I let go of her hands and rip open her jeans, roughly tugging ‘em down her legs.

“I want your dick, not your fingers,” she tells me.

“Music to my fucking ears, babe.”

I shake off my cut. I pull a condom outta the back pocket of my jeans, unbuckle the damn things in record time and sheath my throbbing dick.

I sink into her slowly, groaning at the feel of such a tight fucking pussy. Been a long-assed time since I’ve felt anything like this. The sluts that hang ‘round the clubhouse are all so damn loose. Nothing like this. Holy fucking shit. Can’t fucking move inside her. Her grip’s outta this world.

I look down at her and she’s got her head thrown back, her eyes closed as she licks her lips. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve even seen. Shit. That thought unsettles me. Get a grip, asshole.

“Hold my hands,” she says, her eyes snapping open. “Hold my hands down,” she presses when I don’t answer fast enough. It’s kinda hard to focus when I’m tryin’ to fight every instinct to pound her into the couch. Can’t ‘til she adjusts to my size. She’d probably pull her gun and shoot me for that.

I grab her wrists and slam ‘em into the couch above her head. Don’t take long before I feel her relax ‘round me. Mmm. Rough gets her off.

“Yes,” she moans out.

And that’s it. I’m done. I pull out almost all the way and then slam back in hard. She curses like a sailor as I pound her so fucking hard the couch moves.

“Name?” she pants at me.

“Neil,” I utter without thinking. My brain’s on lockdown right now. No blood flowing there. “Neil Barron.”

“Barron?” she questions. There’s an edge in her voice.

Fuck that. No more talking. I don’t bother responding. I lean into her, my tongue tasting the side of her neck. I suck hard, hard enough to leave a mark.

Next thing I know, she’s kicking me and yelling for me to get off her.

What the fuck?

“Get off me,” she orders.

“Please tell me you’re fucking about, babe.”

“No. Get off me. Now,” she shrieks. “Now! Pull out!”

As soon as I pull out and lift my weight off her, she scrambles off the couch, hastily pulling on her jeans. She’s white as a damn sheet.

“You’re related to Skinner. Pete Barron? The President of the Devil’s Mavericks is your family?”

Wow, she’s really freaked out, basically hysterical. “Why?” What’s the story here?

“Answer me!” she screams.

“We’re related, yeah.” Christ, even admitting the connection repulses me.

“What…who…who is he to you exactly? A distant relative?” she asks, way too hopeful ‘bout the distant part.

I pocket the condom, zip up my jeans and shrug my cut back on. “No,” I tell her, forcing myself to say the words I fucking hate admitting on my best days. “I’m his son.”

Her eyes go wide. “Oh God. I’m gonna be sick.” She grabs her mouth and runs from the room into the kitchen. A second later, I hear her puking her guts up.

What the fuck’s going on here?

Release Blitz for the Stalker Duology by Clarissa Wild @givemebooksblog @WildClarissa




Title: Stalker Duology
Author: Clarissa Wild
Genre: Dark Romance
 Release Date: November 2, 2015



Blurb

NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Clarissa Wild brings you STALKER DUOLOGY, the complete boxed set containing both Killer & Stalker.

~ Killer

Some secrets are meant to stay hidden …
Secrets could kill you. My husband is the prime example.
I’m a trophy wife. Someone’s prized possession, just there to be pretty. My dreams were pushed aside for his. Until one fateful night, one chance encounter, all his dirty secrets were exposed.
And then my supposed husband is killed.
I should be sad, but all I feel is anger. My husband is a lying, cheating bastard. And if that isn’t bad enough, I’m now the prime suspect for his murder.
Only his brother believes I'm innocent, and in his support, I find relief. However, I will find the real killer and bring him to justice ... before he tries to end my life too.

~ Stalker

Fuck me once, I'll fuck you twice … then I'll bury you.
No prison can keep me from seeking revenge. Especially when it comes to her.
She, the woman who put me in jail.
I swore that I’d come for her, to claim what belongs to me: Her life.
I’m not a good man. On the contrary, I love to be bad. It’s in my veins. Just like it’s in my veins to ruin her.
She’s an actress, pretending to be a saint, but we both know that isn’t true. One way or another, she’ll pay for what she did.
I will hunt for her. Make her fear me. Make her body mine.
Bad deeds never go unpunished … And I always go out with a bang.

Arc received in exchange for an honest review

I love Clarissa's books so when the chance came up to review this I jumped at it.

What we have here a a seriously dark prequel read, there are twists and turns, seriously hot sexy scenes.

Vanessa seems to be stuck in a loveless marriage and she stays to provide an image and standing for herself. But is she all that she seems, is she the innocent one in all of this?

Phoenix is a seriously dark alpha male and has no conscience, he does a job and does it well.

It was a quick read but this is only the prequel and it leaves you with questions that you really want answering.

The way Clarissa writes makes you want more and more, you will start a book and not put it down until you have finished.

I cannot wait for the next book.

~ Stalker


After reading the prequel to this, I was excited to read this book and Clarissa has not disappointed yet again....


This is one hell of a dark and twisted read, there are so many twists and turns, you will never know where you are going and you will always be guessing wrong.

Phoenix is a killer, a man you don't want to involve yourself in, or cross as he will come after you with vengeance in mind. For some reason though he is one of those characters that you love to hate. You have to think there must be a reason for him to be the way he is, and we find out all the reasons that he is in this book. It is not what you think, I was surprised.

Vanessa is a person that in the beginning, you will think is a victim in all of this, but she is just as dark and twisted as Phoenix.

I loved reading this book, you have everything you want in a read, dark, twisted, hot scenes, mysteries unravelled.

Clarissa has a way with her writing that just pulls you in from page one, and it is a book that you don't want to put down until you have finished. It is better though if you read the prequel first as then you will have more an understanding of what is going on.

~ Killer

"Hard times call for desperate measures.
And we're both in desperate need of consolation. In whatever way necessary."

Vanessa finds herself as the prime suspect in the murder of her husband. One night at a party for the rich and famous ends her tempestuous marriage with a man she has grown to hate but to the world she has perfected a Stepford wife image. His murder does not quite go to plan and the resulting complications begin a cat and mouse game between Vanessa, the innocent tool in the murder and Phoenix the hired killer....

Everything is not what seems and with each chapter I grew more and more shocked. Who is pulling the strings and what are these people capable of? The civilised masks they hide behind cover their blackened souls, their rot disguised by a thin veneer of beauty and innocence. Who is Phoenix? Why? And Vanessa....I think she may be related to Eve, she's so full of sin and tempting she give the devil himself a run for his money!

I completed this short read and was left chasing the next hit...I felt like I was part of the car wreck! Loved it. The writing style is frenetic just like the plot, gripping and twisted it's the perfect dark romance. They love to hate one another and their secrets are going to be very very juicy!

A five star wtf read!


~ Stalker


~*~ Obsessed by Books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~

"I want to fuck her.
I want to break her.
I want to throw her into the abyss.
Taste her...kill her...put her down where she belongs."

Stalker picks up where Killer ended...Phoenix is in prison plotting his revenge against the woman who has ensnared him in her web of deceit. Planning to own her and destroy her but unsure in which order Phoenix has become a haunted man. Unable to focus on anything other than his need to have her at his mercy he executes his escape and hunts his prey down...

Vanessa has had four years in her self made misery. One husband dead she quickly replaced him with the brother and became a successful starlet. Not everything is rosy behind closed doors though and she seems caught in a time warp just with the other brother. Serving her time in purgatory in a loveless relationship she despairs of her life. Until Phoenix returns, reducing her to nothing more than a a plaything, a pet. Trapped in her own home Phoenix has carefully planned their time together with no distractions. His plan to expose her for the rotten liar she is unearths more than he was expecting.

Told in dual pov with scenes from their past we gain an insight into two very cold and manipulative minds. One is honed by his childhood of abuse, passed from one home to another having learned at the hands of others how to harness his anger to defeat his opponents. The other has been finely perfected by her parents to become the master of manipulation, to switch off her feelings and use others to gain power and respect. Together they were doomed from the start but the heart wants what the heart wants bugger to the consequences. The price they pay unfolds in this gripping story of puppet and master but who is who?

"For his love, I could die.
For my love, he would kill.
We're bad, in the worst kind of way, but sometimes you need a little bad in your life...So bad, you realise life isn't worth living without someone to be evil with."

A modern day Romeo and Juliet kinda, maybe more Bonnie and Clyde. Fate keeps ensuring their paths intertwine. Meeting in the playground, growing up together only to cross paths once again. They both have dark natures and know how to survive. Vanessa...I really didn't like her. I thought she deserve every punishment and every humiliating deed. I had hoped she would redeem herself yet even when the pieces all slotted together I still loathed her. As for Phoenix he stole a piece of my heart as I imagined the lost and lonely boy he once was and how he was willing to do anything for the only person who showed him any kindness. Love is the greatest weapon of all and I think Vanessa knew that all along!

A four star is this really the end read?!?


Excerpt

“Are you going to be a good girl?”

“Yes.”

“Do you still think I’m nice?”

She swallows and thinks about her answer for a second. “Only when you want to be.”

“Exactly. And you don’t get to decide anything. You don’t get to manipulate me. I won’t allow it, so don’t try it ever again.” I grip her ass so tight that she squirms and my fingers mark her skin red.

Her face glows as I lean in to take a whiff of her scent. Her face is much cleaner than before, and all the make-up has rinsed off. She looks pure … less tainted than hours before. Every passing second her shifting behavior affects me. Changes me. It forces me to look at her in more ways than just the one consumed by hatred.

With the water cascading down her beautiful body, puckered nipples, and pink lips, I get the sudden urge to take what belongs to me.

So, I do. I kiss her, pressing my lips softly onto hers, marking her as mine. She doesn’t fight, doesn’t even flinch as I kiss her gently, my tongue dipping out to lick her sweet, icy-cold lips. I let my tongue roam free across her mouth and push inside, forcing her to open up and let me in. She doesn’t resist; instead, her tongue finds mine, and her lips cling to me. The cold doesn’t suppress the warmth flowing to my cock, which grows thicker every second. All I can think of is kissing her, fucking her every fucking second of the day …, and then ruining her for life.

I step into the shower with her, increasing the temperature further until it’s warm enough to heat up her body. She’s still shivering, as I press her firmly into my warm body. She makes herself small to fit between my arms, as if I’m a radiator she’s cuddling up to. How cute. I just want to fuck her with my tongue.

Her taste is exhilarating, and I can’t fucking get enough of tasting her, her mouth latching onto mine with equal wantonness. Her body is quickly regaining its normal temperature, and her natural flush reappears on her face, although I’m not exactly sure if that’s because of the shower or because I’m grabbing her ass and pushing her body against mine.

The urge to turn her around and bend her over gets bigger and bigger as she pants into my mouth, desperate for air … desperate for more kisses. I let my hands roam free over her body, cupping her tit and giving it a nice squeeze. My mouth silences her first moan, as I taste her willingness to finally submit. And, oh … how I will make her submit.

Release Blitz for Devil Smoke by Max Henry. @givemebooksblog @MaxHenryAuthor




Title: Devil Smoke
Series: Butcher Boys #5
Author: Max Henry
Genre: Suspense/Contemporary
 Release Date: November 3, 2015



Blurb

“Value the people who sacrifice their something for you ... because maybe that something was their everything.”

- Unknown

The brief was simple—infiltrate our rival’s crew and steal the info we needed. Easy, right? I thought so, too, until I met Ryan. A woman with the ability to change my view on everything: who I was, who I am now, and what I want to be remembered for when the reaper comes to collect.

I’m a killer, a scapegoat for hire—the man who’ll take the fall for your immoral operation if you offer me the right price. I’ve made enemies along the way, and I’m forever watching my back. In a world as corrupt as mine, love and relationships remain an unobtainable target. So I act the fool, parade as the playboy, but all I really want is to belong to somebody.

She made me think it could be her, that a woman so haunted by her past might actually need a man like me—somebody who can kill with his bare hands, a man who would sacrifice it all to see those he loved kept safe.

That was, until she turned the table and risked it all to help me.

When best-laid plans fall apart, and we’re both put to the test, will love or loyalty prevail?

*~ Obsessed by Books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~

"sometimes, all it takes is the comfort of a kindred soul for you to be able to dance in the dark, hand in hand with the monsters that have hidden under your bed since that day you first failed and weren't enough."

Chills...just the prologue spread goose bumps along my flesh and had me chewing my bottom lip. Devil Smoke, the fifth in this series, quite literally is the most amazing one yet. The prologue sets the tone and it captures the epitome of our biggest flaw - our fear of never being good enough. Striking a chord within the reader that everyone can empathise with and understand the nature of that beast.

Bronx is a Butchers Boy and it's his time to shine. Going under cover to loosen Eddie's stranglehold on the drug market and repay his debts owed is Bronx enough to get the job done? Acting like he needs to score he goes into the dragons den willing snorting the good stuff, believing he can handle it. Ty is worried that Bronx will succumb to chasing the dragon as he knows only too well how difficult it is to say no. Can Bronx work his way under Eddie's radar and find the information he needs to dismantle the rivals operation from within? Going solo makes his future hit home and Bronx realises he wants more from life than pain...he wants her.

Ryan is the welcoming face of Eddie's organisation. The trophy girlfriend of the muscle and the brains behind the paperwork she is instrumental to the running of business even if she doesn't realise her own worth. Sacrificing her freedom for the protection of the biggest she knows she lives in a white supremacist household faking her feelings and biding her time. Having lost her parents at a young age she has fought to discover the truth of that night and why her Uncle Harris was responsible. Eddie is the one holding all the cards and having spent do long needing the truth Ryan is willing to go to any lengths. Until him. 

Meeting at a party used to trade drugs and meet new buyers Bronx and Ryan risk it all as their heated glances do not go unnoticed. Warring between their mission and their attraction for one another, together are they enough to win the fight? So much is at stake but sometimes the truth is easier to find if you ask for a little help. Who is Ryan and what really happened all those years ago? Has Bronx messed up one last time?

This seriously is one of the best reads of the year for me. The plot and characters are scintillating, totally worthy of their own film or mini series. I cannot express how quickly I was lost in this world of men with big hearts, fierce loyalty and sense of brotherhood. The lines may be blurred but they love hard are not afraid to fight to protect what's theirs. Blown away!

A five star it's more than enough read.
