Review & Excerpt: The Darkest Flame By Ch

Vaughn O’Keefe has been part owner of the Hog’s Den for years. Privy to plenty of Disciples of the Road business, he’s never been more ruffled as when a new recruit named “Smoke” walks through the door. Something about the man gets his blood pumping, but he knows to keep his preferences under wraps around the club.

“Smoke” Callahan has done a couple of rehab stints and is finally clean, thanks to help from the Disciples. He’s on the right path and isn’t about to get sidetracked, no matter how much the guy who manages the bar gets beneath his skin. Besides, his last relationship with a man left him scared, alone, and with a nightmare of an addiction.

When the Hog’s Den becomes shorthanded, and Smoke is ordered to help out the one man he can’t have, his longing for the bartender reaches blistering proportions. Vaughn figures a night together should be enough to satisfy their mutual attraction. But neither banks on just how scorching hot it might be.
As Smoke’s past unravels and the one person he hopes never to lay eyes on again messes with all he holds sacred, it’s time to involve the Disciples. Problem is, he’ll have to risk his membership, his heart, and his own hide to keep everyone he cares about safe 

I was so excited to begin The Darkest Flame, because it meshed two if my favorite genres together, MC and m/m.  Now most of you know that in an MC a m/m relationship isn’t always accepted and welcomed with open arms.  These guys are bikers for a reason, not just because the leather cut makes them look hot (that’s my own personal opinion lol).  They are tough, take no shit, fuck a ton of women and not blink an eye at sex in the open type of guys.  Am I stereotyping here a little, okay a lot?  Yes I am because that is what most of us think when we think about what bikers are.  Now add into the equation two guys who are bi but honestly don’t want to be between a woman’s thighs, but in each other’s?  It makes you stop and not only appreciate the extremely hot picture that it makes, but it makes you think if that could happen without backlash from the “brothers”.

I am going to try not to give away to many details because I want you to make this journey into the world of The Darkest Flame on your own so you can see why, even as I am typing this, I can still close my eyes and picture Smoke and Vaughn having some smoking hot sex.  Pun intended.  This wasn’t an easy journey for these two, there is drama, danger, and wondering if they are found out would that make them outcasts in the club or would they be welcomed and accepted? 

The Darkest Flame had a couple of minor issues that I am not going to point out in my review because honestly they aren’t anything that ruined my enjoyment of the book, but while the book may not be perfect in all aspects, what it is, is a fucking sexy as hell read that made me wish I could be invisible in any room Smoke and Vaughn are getting it on in.  Hell I’d even provide them to lube if need be.  Okay back to seriousness.  This is the first book by Christina Lee that I have read, but I can guarantee that it will not be the last.


I grabbed my hold of keys and tried not to slam my way out the door. I didn’t know why the hell I was so rattled by Vaughn tonight. I mean, I had been every night, but something about the idea of him being with somebody else right in front of my eyes, made me crazy with need. Need that it felt like only he could fulfill. 

As soon as I got to my bike I realized I’d left my cut in the break room. I stood outside attempting to rein in my uneven pulse. I didn’t know what the fuck had come over me.
Breathing more steadily, I stepped back through the door only to find the bar empty. I’d just grab my leather vest and leave him in peace.

“I forgot my…” I stopped in my tracks because Vaughn stood motionless in the middle of the floor, veins bulging in his neck, as if he’d implode at the slightest touch.
He was always moving and talking with a restless energy in this bar so his stillness was a bit startling.

“Hey.” I gingerly placed my hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry if I—”

There was instant recoil, as if he were attempting to contain the vortex of tension between us by vacuuming it in through his skin. 

He twisted toward me, his eyes latching onto mine, right before I was slammed against the door.

    The wind was practically knocked out of me as Vaughn sank his weight against my smaller frame. We were groin to groin, heartbeat to heartbeat.

“Fuck, Vaughn, you’re—” Heaving breaths surged through my nostrils. “I was going to suggest a truce.”

 “Yeah?” he mumbled, his gaze fastening on my mouth. “What sort of truce?”

Blog Tour & Review: Revive (Storm MC Series #3) by Nina Levine







He doesn’t do relationships.  Neither does she.  But they can’t fight the attraction any longer…

Nash Walker hides the demons that consume his soul.  He buries them deep and distracts himself with sex.  Anything to avoid facing a past full of heartbreak and regret; anything to numb the pain that he struggles with daily.

Velvet Carr has spent years fighting her demons.  It’s a fight she’s winning.  That is, until Nash crashes his way into her life and into her heart.  

It started out as a bit of harmless fun between friends; it wasn’t meant to get complicated for either of them.  But when two broken souls come together and arouse unwanted feelings in each other, complicated is what happens. 

Can Nash and Velvet help heal each other and revive the love in their lives that they’ve both been refusing to allow in for years?  Or will they let their demons ruin any chance they may have at happiness?

Since book one, I have waited for Nash’s book to come out.  I saw something in him that I wanted to read more of. When I found out that his book was coming out next, let’s just say this reviewer did a happy dance, it wasn’t pretty, but it was happy.  When I was able to review this book, even happier dance happened, still not a pretty one though lol.

Nash, man like I said you knew there was something more to him since book one and I was not expecting what I found out.  Honestly, I was thinking he was going to be your typical man whore, asshole who didn’t have depth but had a secret, maybe nothing that would have molded him but something.  What we got was a broken man who was living through something that would bring lower men to their knees.  He valued his friendship with Velvet, even though he may not have always liked what she had to say, he knew she was special and didn’t want to ruin that.  I have loved J and Scott and didn’t think anyone could beat them, but for me Nash blows them both out of the water.

Velvet was the yin to Nash’s yang.  She was smart mouthed when needed, a great friend and could make Nash laugh.  She also had a past, and it like Nash, it defined her.  She wasn’t ashamed of her occupation, even though she was making something better for herself, she never once put down what she did.  I felt for Velvet in a way that only someone who has gone through what she did could.  (Seriously by now I am not going to give it away so don’t ask lol)  I just loved her character. 


I devoured this book in one setting.  I am in love with the Storm MC men and love how each book still has great scenes with the previous couples.  I love when an author keeps her characters alive and an important part to the rest of the series.  There are a lot of MC books out there, some good, some well not so good, but this series and especially this book is one of the best out there.  Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Synopsis
Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty. He’ll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers’ president has a daughter who’s alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her.

Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him.

One who isn't afraid of her father. His name is Liam, and he’s The One.

Or so she thinks.

Blog Tour: Angels in Leather (Rebels On Bikes #1) by Bella Jewel





Meadow was on the run.  Her father, as he died made her promise to run and deliver the package.  She knows if he catches her she’s dead.  He killed her father so he wouldn’t stop at killing her either, would he?  They used to be friends, he saved her life.  Meadow knows that something changed him into the dark person he is today.

Axel, the President of the Angels in Leather, needs to get his hands on Meadow and the information her father gave her.  They used to be friends, but the second her father betrayed him, he changed.  He is angry, dark and out to get what he wants and doesn’t care if he hurts Meadow to get it.

Meadow at times wants to stop the running.  She knows that if Axel gets his hands on her that it won’t be good, but she is a fighter and she promised her dad that she would deliver that package.  She hates Axel now.  He killed her father, took the only parent she had away from her.  She has been attracted to him for years but knows that he isn’t the same guy who used to come by and see her.  He is dark and mean and nothing like the man she used to know.  Seeing how much he had changed really hurt her, especially when he does something she never thought he would do just to get information.

Axel is seriously is screwed up.  He was betrayed by Meadow’s father and suffered at the hands of a rival MC.  He has nightmares, he isn’t the same person he used to be.  He is darker, angrier, a massive asshole and out to get that package from Meadow and doesn’t care what it takes to do it either, even if it means taking her life.  He knows that he has basically shut down all of his emotions but Meadow brings out more than hate or anger.  He doesn’t want to care about her but yet when her life is threatened (by someone else mind you) he protects her even while at the same time he is competing for the asshole of the year award.

When Axel and Meadow finally come together it is explosive, hot and dirty.  Axel’s issues, make him want sex a certain way and when he finds out that Meadow will give it to him it is almost like they were meant for each other.  Meadow helps to heal Axel even when she doesn’t know exactly what happened to him.  When tragedy strikes you see how much these two are a part of each other.  The connection is there from the start but the journey is not just a painful one but one that could have had them hating each other forever.

I really loved this book.  Angels In Leather at times is a dark, dirty read that had me addicted from the start.  It also is sexy and shows that even damaged people can be healed by the right person.  I couldn’t put this book down once I started and wanted more instantly when I finished.  Bella Jewel knows how to write an MC series and has not disappointed me yet. 

There are others who have made comments in regards to another series by another author who I also happen to love that have stated that Angels In Leather has aspects of that other series because the male character has issues, is an alpha, an asshole and dominant in not only his actions but words at the same time.  I am going to say that I am sorry but Angels In Leather is it’s OWN story, with it’s OWN characters and come on people let’s face it all MC books have some things in common but that does not mean that one author used what another has written for their own. Saying that only one author can have the alpha asshole depraved biker who has suffered something that marked them is like saying that no one else can have blue eyes because you do.  It just is immature and hurtful. 

Ms. Jewel has stated that this MC series will be the last she writes and Ms. Jewel if you are reading this review, please continue and don’t stop as the fans of your books want more.

Excerpt
“Fight me, don’t you stop,” Axel breathes into my ear. “I won’t hurt you, Cricket,” he murmurs, running his finger down the side of my face. “But I need you to fight.”

So, that’s what I do. 

I start by squirming, trying to twist my body around. He presses his body against mine, and reaches up, tangling his fingers into the fence. He thrusts his hips, ramming both out bodies harder into the wire. I groan, and throw my head back, hitting him in the face. He snarls, and takes my hands, quickly uncuffing me before pulling them harshly behind my back and jerking my body back into his. 

I hear the cuffs drop onto the ground. 

I guess he’s letting me play this fairly.

“Stop that,” he rasps into my ear. “I’ll make it hurt if you do that again.”
“Maybe I want it to hurt,” I hiss, fisting my hands together and shoving them backwards into his stomach. 

He stumbles off me with a grunt, and I spin around, ducking to the left and attempting to run. I don’t get two steps before Axel lashes out, taking my ankle and pulling me so hard I go down into the dirt. My face just misses being smashed into it by mere centimeters. Axel flattens his body over mine, and takes my head in his hands, jerking my head back by my hair and breathing down on me. “You’re being a bad girl,” he husks, running a finger down the side of my face. 

“You’re not letting me play fair,” I whisper. “I was cuffed before, it wasn’t a fair chase.”

I feel his weight lift off me, and he jerks me up, pulling me into a standing position. 

“Run, then. I’ll give you five seconds, and if I catch you again, Meadow, I’m going to fuck you,” he murmurs, then his eyes grow lusty. “Hard.” I turn without answering, and I run into the trees at the back of the lot. I hear Axel counting loudly, and my body shivers. I am sweating now, and my breathing is hard and ragged, but the chase is so worth that. I hear Axel take off after me, and I squeal with delight as I weave through the trees. It’s dark, but I can see enough because of the lights surrounding the club house. 

“The minute I get hold of you,” Axel yells. “I’m goin’ to rip your panties down and put my dick so deep inside you, you’re goin’ to scream.” I shiver, and swallow. I make my way to the fence line again, and I press myself against it for a second, letting my eyes scan the trees. “Then I’m goin’ to kiss you so hard your lips will bleed.”

Oh my. 

I take off, using the fence line as a guide to get back to the other end of the lot. I can hear Axel to my left, and I know he’s gaining on me, but if I run, it’ll make a lot of noise and he’ll figure out where I am. 

“Come out come out wherever you are,” he sings. “You know I’ll make you come so much your legs will give way.”

I feel a smile on my face as I keep moving along the fence, keeping my body plastered against it. I can feel my own arousal dampening my panties, and now I’m eager for him to get his hands on me. I want to know what he’s got to give. 

“You can run, Cricket, but you can’t hide.”
