The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Balen “Creature” Hobbs doesn’t call anywhere home.

He’s been a nomad since the day he finished active duty.

Fate has other plans when he bumps into a girl beaten outside a local bar.

Being a good Samaritan didn’t cross his mind—only justice.

Getting involved pulls him into a dark world where the strong prey on the weak.

Riding with the Royal Bastards MC offers him a chance he can’t refuse.

When he stops a cutthroat criminal from hurting more innocents, everything seems to fall into place.

Creature has finally found a place where he belongs, and his unique talents are appreciated.

Meeting Blair Connelly and falling in love is almost too good to be true.

For the first time since the war ended, he feels peace.

But when a familiar enemy threatens the club, he doesn’t hesitate to protect the RBMC.

Even if it means he has to risk everything to ensure justice is served.

A Shadow Rider and a scarred veteran are the only chance Blair has to survive.

It’s not a choice of his club or his woman. He’s saving both.

Creature is ridin’ full throttle and ready for war.

A twist on the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Jeepers Creepers is part of the Royal Bastards MC world and includes steamy scenes, biker slang, kidnapping, violence, revenge, dark content, and a slight paranormal twist. This is a wicked tale featuring a possessive, protective, scarred outlaw who falls first and a feisty young woman determined to right the wrongs of the past. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order. However, Hell on Wheels must be read before Jeepers Creepers.

#BookReview: The Familiar by @Lbardugo @Flatironbooks

Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age 

In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position. 

What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen—and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor. 

Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

This title will be released on April 9, 2024.

I already had my happy ending. Childhood sweethearts, my late wife and I made four beautiful kids together who are now grown and married off themselves.

Emily

I’ve been on my own, more or less, my entire life. So when given the chance to move to the cutest, most quaint small Texas town I’ve ever seen. I’m the newest resident of Saddle Creek and I’m settling in perfectly. I love my new town and everyone seems to love me too. Everyone except, widower and silver fox, Bram Whitmore, who seems to hate me at first sight. Too bad the feeling isn’t mutual. Because that man, with his legit dad bod, is the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen.

#BookReview: The Hurricane Wars (The Hurricane Wars, #1) by Thea Guanzon

Synopsis: The heart is a battlefield.

All Talasyn has ever known is the Hurricane Wars. Growing up an orphan in a nation under siege by the ruthless Night Emperor, Talasyn has found her family among the soldiers who fight for freedom. But she is hiding a deadly secret: light magic courses through her veins, a blazing power believed to have been wiped out years ago that can cut through the Night Empire's shadows. 

Prince Alaric, the emperor's only son and heir, has been forged into a weapon by his father. Tasked with obliterating any threats to the Night Empire's rule with the strength of his armies and mighty Shadow magic, Alaric has never been bested. That is until he sees Talasyn burning brightly on the battlefield with the magic that killed his grandfather, turned his father into a monster, and ignited the Hurricane Wars. In a clash of light and dark, their powers merge and create a force the likes of which has never been seen. 

Talasyn and Alaric both know this war can only end with them. But a greater threat is coming, and the strange new magic they can create together could be the only way to overcome it. Thrust into an uneasy alliance, they will confront the secrets at the heart of the war and find, in each other, a searing passion--one that could save their world...or destroy it. 

An exquisite fantasy brimming with unforgettable characters, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, and richly drawn worlds, The Hurricane Wars marks the breathtaking debut of an extraordinary new writer.
