lol if you are bored with the story you are writing set it aside for awhile.. gesh then come back to it when you have fresh ideas or renewed vigor. But rushing and ending is cruel and you are not doing us any favors either. Per example
The boy with the phone… it was weeks before he went back to him and made good on his promise… so much so I was finally happy when he was going to stop off and visit the kid… I even wi dared would he be bringing back a cleverly impoverished child ,did the kid have any parents? Orphaned? A mom they would bring back to the clubhouse give a job to.. etc… .. but nope nothing … author completely skipped over the whole thing.made a mild mention they were gonna drop off a phone and couple other things cause Leah wanted to thank him for basically risking a lot to save her.. and you’d think they would do better than that to a clearly impoverished child who was forced to dumpster dive.
But nope nope we get nothing ,.. no meeting with kid just the insinuation they gave the kid a phone .., skipped over glossed over rushed endings and more to quickly tie up lose ends of story rushing through months, to a wedding! And we didn’t even get that either now author no longer gives up the wedding .. now it’s just the insinuating that the wedding is taking place and . Boom THE END 9 books into series we used to at least get the weddings but now we do t even get that either .. all stories in this series have rushed endings
More. Rushed endings out of nowhere. It’s like. The formula is boy meets girl bad situation unfolds they get to know each Luther over extreme circumstances and then it’s all over with, The author all of a sudden goes …the bad guy is caught everyone is safe now let’s end this and get to a wedding so I can rush to print my book! .. sacrificing a truly complete story for a rush job to get it over with as quickly as possible .. not cool If a story is worth writing it is worthy of a complete ending not a rush job! I won’t be starting anymore series of this author and I am truly disgusted by her formula style of writing. Let alone her far too often OVERUSE of the “2S2L GIRL” TROPE
All Leah wants to do is protect her brother Cooper while he is in jail on some trumped up charge and maybe catch a break. Everything in Leah's life seems to be one good thing, then disaster strikes. When given the opportunity to protect her brother and make a little money, Leah is hesitant, but Mr. Wentworth makes it seem like she would be helping retrieve something that was stolen by a military vet.
Jav is a good guy, who genuinely cares about people and always wants to help. He is taken by Leah when she "accidentally" stumbles into their club. Eager to believe what she has to say, a friendship is made and they start to get closer.
What happens though when Jav realizes that Leah is up to something and refuses to let him in? Will this relationship be over before it starts? Leah is very naïve and believes she is still helping, but something in her gut is telling her differently.
Suspense, forgiveness and chemistry made it very hard for me to put this down and I read it in one sitting. I love this series and look forward to the next book about Mason!.

MMC/FMC- Javelin and Leah POV- 1st person dual Genre- MC Romance 1%? N Heat- they do the things and name the parts with words that include the P word. Series? Y Cliffhanger? N Cheating? N HEA/HFN? Y Triggers- The Biker’s Trifecta (language, violence, explicit erotic content) Tropes- Former Military, The Judas Kiss, That’s Not My Leg, My Brother’s Keeper What I liked- there were layers upon layers involved in the Artifact storyline. Nothing was face value. Also, I liked the Hero’s capacity for forgiveness. What could have been better- I don’t know, more spicy scenes, maybe? Funny thing- before I read the book, I thought that Jav was short for Javier, so I mispronounced the name of the book in my head. Verdict- well worth the read. I recommend the whole series. This book can be read as a standalone, but it’s better with the rest of the series.

Jav is the seventeenth book in the Dark Slayers MC series. By now, we know these characters well, and it is good to see a different side of Javelin. The slayers are mostly former military men, and their sense of brotherhood is palpable.
You would think that after seventeen books in the series would become too predictable, but they have not. Predictably, Jav would find his old lady, and she would be perfect for him. However, this book has a sinister edge without the violence that typically accompanies run-ins with evil. There is a bit of suspense and a lot of romance. Leah's naivety is borderline too much, but at least when things come to light or she figures it out, she is embarrassed.
Jav is an easy read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, Mason.

I swear this series just keeps getting better & better! Every new guy becomes my new favorite lol, and Jav is no exception. The way he treats Leah is just amazing. The guys in this MC may be rough around the edges, but when they fall, they do it with everything within them. Leah finds that out the hard way when she finds herself in need of Jav’s forgiveness after doing things to keep her brother safe from a madman with a vendetta against Jav. If you want some action & angst, but also want passion & romance that only a man in a MC can provide….then you want this book. I can’t wait for the next Dark Slayer to steal my heart ❤️

When Leah's brother was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to three years in prison, she will do anything to save him. When an attorney comes to her with a proposition that will ultimately exonerate her brother, she readily agrees. She doesn't know the attorney has a score to settle with Jav and will manipulate Leah to help him settle the score. But when she realizes Jan is not what she was lead to believe and comes clean with him, can they save their relationship. The book is typical of the other books in the Dark Slayers MC series, full of sizzle, steam, action, drama, twists, and more. Solid read.

What a delightful story this was to read, it was totally enjoyable with a few twists and turns that make the book more enjoyable to read. I loved both of the main characters in this book, but i had to feel for Leah who was played by a man possing as a lawyer offereing to help her brother. Who was in Prison and getting roughed up by others in the prison. Her mission was to befriend Javier and look for a artifact that he is surposed to have. However despite things she falls for this lovely man. But what will happen when he discovers that she is only just a spy?
I love reading Arias books they really are great to read.
I have loved every one of the Dark Slayers MCs and this book is just as good. Leah is being controlled to get Jav's trust in order to save her brother's life. Leah knows that what she is doing is wrong but her brother means a lot to her. Jav is being set up by a man he helped put in prison so the man has some revenge against him. There is action, drama romance, and passion. Will Jav be able to forgive Leah for all the lies and deception? Will Jav and the MC save Leah and her brother? Will Leah and Jav get their HEA? This book had me turning pages as fast as I could read them.

Leah is trapped into a situation where she has to go undercover to obtain information on a MC member to keep her brother safe in prison. She had no idea what to expect but connecting with Javelin had her heart all over the place. He is nothing like Bretford stated. When everything comes out into the open will Leah and Javelin's relationship survive and will his MC brothers be able to keep Leah's brother safe. This thrilling story kept me glued to the pages from start to finish.

This is a great series the Dark Slayers MC, and this is already the 17th part and the story of Leah and Javelin. Leah is eager to help her brother, but doesn't know they're being manipulated until it's too late. Will Javelin help her and be understanding? There is action and danger, attraction and chemistry between them, if they join hands and stand in line, will they defeat the enemy and help her brother? It is highly recommended to read.

I have read all the books in this series and I love them all! Jav was no exception. The quiet soldier with a heart of gold. Leah is a sweet girl with no street smarts. She is set up by a con artist who is out to destroy Jav because he got him thrown in prison for stealing in Afghanistan. The con man is more than that, he is a despicable man. Jav is set on getting retribution for Leah and her brother.

Leah jumps head first into a really bad situation with a really bad guy seeking revenge. Using her brother as the bait to get Leah to do his bidding, Leah agrees to help this guy get Jav. Of course the situation is nothing like Leah thought and Jav certainly isn't like she was led to believe. Jav is a fast-paced, steamy story that pulls you in from the start and keeps you there, glued to the pages til the end.
The Dark Slayers keep on rollin with Jav and Leah! The book had an interesting plotline, even if the main characters seemed a little preachy, in my humble opinion. I really found the concept of the Snow Leopard fascinating. As always, Celt had me laughing out loud, and my dogs looking at me like I was the crazy one. Recommended read for Dark Slayers lovers!.

This is exactly what Leah set out to do because her brother was in prison and she had to get him out before he was injured any more. That all happened when a man approached her making a deal that he would help her if she could get close to Jav who was a member of the Dark Slayers MC.
The lies and deceit came back to bite her and would Jav ever be able to forgive the beauty who he was falling for. For me this book was a big page turner.
Leah's brother was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to three years in prison. The public defender on his case is taking forever to file an appeal. She is approached by an attorney willing to help for a favor in return. Once she makes the connection with Javelin at the Dark Slayers MC, he is not what she expected.
Can she really betray him to help her brother? When she is in trouble, will he save her?.

17 percent in and I already want to bitch slap Leah! This book is reminding me of Razor. I know it's fiction, but there are real people that assume things, believe what they are told, from a stranger no less, just to get what they want. My 2 cents. A good author hopes to write books people relate to. This is one of those for me. Finished. As always, Aria does not disappoint. What can I say, I like the vengeance! A typo with a name, but otherwise well worth the wait!
I love this series and can’t believe it’s almost done. Leah is doing things she doesn’t want to do but to keep her bro safe in prison she will do what she has to. But when she’s supposed to trick Jav and get something from him she starts to fill things for him. But how is she supposed to do chose one. Or can she have them both and get rid of the man calling the shots for her bro.
