Cyril “Apex” Tayback is an enforcer for the Born Villains Motorcycle Club. He suffered a brutal childhood, bouncing from one trauma to another. When the club found the angry, young man living in the woods, he was on his way to a life in prison or an early grave. Now, Apex’s their most feared enforcer.

Seeking help from the Born Villains Motorcycle Club, Giselle has escaped a painful past she can no longer remember. Her body tells a story of suffering, but her mind is a blank slate. All she knows is her heart already belongs to the fierce and beautiful biker.

Claiming Giselle immediately, Apex won’t allow her past or anything else to stand in the way of their future.

But the Born Villains face problems beyond a lost woman's violent past. They'll contend with secrets brewing in a rival club and the aftershocks from a brutal attack on the heart of their sanctuary.

“I can’t even with you today, chump.”

OMG this book!! It has been quite some time since I couldn’t put a book down, but that is exactly what this book did.

Apex, big, muscled, gorgeous and damaged. If it weren’t for the Born Villains MC he probably wouldn’t be around. He’s sent out on a job that he does not want to do, doesn’t feel is something he should do as an enforcer, but it changes his life in ways he never thought possible.

Giselle has no memory of her past; all she knows is her memories begin when Apex finds her.

What a ride!!! This book has A LOT going on. Lots of characters with many different stories. This book is told from multiple POV's, but the character development is amazing. The one character, Zoey is so broken but a great comedic relief !! Information repeats itself but not in an annoying way, something new is revealed each time a story is repeated. EPIC. AMAZING. CANNOT wait for the next book, this is a MUST READ!!! 5 Villainess stars

The beginning of a new series. Please prepare yourself with the author's message. This is not written like most stories, MC books. There are a ton of characters and each of them has their own story and background which they tell in their own POV. For me, this detracted from Apex and Giselle. Although, I was unable to stop reading because I had to find out how their lives turned out. And ended really liking the story.

Giselle ran from her vicious life to Papa Bear's Sanctuary, a place where he helped those with needs abused, and without hope. Then she got afraid and ran. Most of the people in the MC were rescued by Papa Bear as the former President, original member, father, and overall confidant. Apex is the first brother to see her bruised and beaten. He's a huge beast of a man with more anger than common sense. Yet when he meets her he changes and he claims her never planning to give her up.

Their love story is filled with beauty, pain, wonder, and every other emotion. She doesn't remember who she is after a serious concussion. Will she ever remember her past?

There is way too much going on with so many characters. There is so much pain and examples of man's cruelty to man. If you never thought much about that phase this one will make it clear. The best part is that the pain both of them suffer is soothed by being together. The author does say there will be a happy ending so...

I did enjoy this book although I hope the rest of the series is more directed to one couple with just a dash of the rest of the characters.

Bijou's been publishing romance books since 2013. Juliet's a newbie dipping her pinkie toe into the publishing world with the Born Villains MC series. The duo currently live in Indiana.

Roman's War by Karen Renee with review

Title: Roman's War

Series: Riot MC Biloxi Series Book 3

Author: Karen Renee

Genre: MC Romance (can be read as standalone)

Release Date: November 18, 2021

She’s playing with fire, but to win Roman’s heart, she’s willing to take her chances.

Time is running out for Trinity Benoit. She must get married to claim her grandfather’s legacy. In her family’s social circle, any man interested in her is only after the inheritance. Not to mention, those men aren’t her type.

Always attracted to bad boys, Roman Sanchez steals Trinity’s attention the day she lays eyes on him.

Nothing goes to plan when she approaches Roman with her proposal.

As the pyrotechnic expert for the Riot MC Biloxi chapter, Roman defends his brotherhood against any threats. He’s no stranger to bar brawls or street fights. Yet, he faces an epic battle against a woman who could send him to prison.

To protect himself and his club, he agrees to marry her.

It isn’t until after they say, ‘I do,’ that Roman discovers there’s more to his wife than blackmail and extortion. If Roman isn’t careful, he may find himself committed to something bigger (and possibly even better) than the Riot MC brotherhood.

Will Roman desert Trinity as soon as he’s fulfilled their bargain? Or will he find himself one of the ‘mighty’ who fall prey to love’s force?

Trinity comes from a well-off family, her grandfather founded the family business and the children and grandchildren are reaping the benefits.  Her grandfather recently passed away and has left the running of the business to Trinity IF she marries. There are plenty of men willing to help her out, but she wants no part of anyone them. She knows they only want the business, not her.  Her next door neighbor has a son, Roman, who would be perfect, but getting his attention has been impossible until one night she records him committing a crime. She feels this is her shot to get what she needs. After all, Extortion is the best way to start a marriage.

 What a thrilling ride. I have enjoyed Karen Renee’s books for quite some time and this latest one is no exception. Her men are take charge alpha men and her women are strong, know what they females.   4 stars. 

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it's taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she's not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.
