EDEN
One night—it was meant to be just that. A fleeting escape, a momentary itch to scratch before walking away with a secret smile in the morning. Now, I find myself entangled in Viper's world, thanks to shady dealings at work that extend their reach to him and his club. Going against my oath, I reveal what I know to protect his son from paying the price, only to discover there's more to this than meets the eye. Now a potential target for the local mafia boss, Viper refuses to let me face the danger alone. Juggling a job that just got a lot more dangerous, while trying to keep him at arms length is next to impossible. And I can feel myself weakening, because the man is far too hard to resist.

VIPER
I want my son by my side, and I'll move mountains to make it happen. Little did I know that it would resurrect her presence in my life. She's the woman I've been looking for since our passionate night, and I won't let her slip away again. No matter the hurdles, I'm determined to convince her to give us a chance. When she brings intel that entangles her in our war against the local mafia boss, I realize I'll never let her go. As her connection to the club becomes exposed, I'm poised to reveal why they call me Viper—I'm a dangerous force ready to strike to protect what's mine, including her, whether she's prepared or not.

*For best enjoyment it is recommended that you read the books in this series in order for best enjoyment as there is an overarching storyline that continues through each book. Each book is a different couple and all have a HEA.

I live in New Brunswick, Canada with my husband and our two dogs,
Remi and Sako (pronounced Say-co). When I’m not writing, I’m
playing fetch with the dogs, talking to my parents for endless amounts
of hours, annoying the crap out of my husband, or just enjoying life
with my friends.
Writing has been a part of my life since I was about 12. I started
out just writing short stories or silly knock-offs of my favorite shows
or movies. Soon, though, I realized just how much I loved to write.
How often my mind would wander and think of characters and where
they could go. They became real to me, and I would start to write. I
used to fill up notebooks and pads of paper when I got an idea. It
would be an obsession, almost, to get on paper. Then, when I was old
enough to have a computer, I started there.
Now, I’m 28 years old and I finally hit that button. The one that
I’ve thought about it over and over again for the past 16 years. There is
no greater joy, or fear, at realizing you’ve just accomplished something
that you’ve wanted to do for so very long. That is my greatest accomplishment
and I look forward to hitting that button on many more.

Ok, ya know how it is when you have a character in a series that just sets himself apart, he’s that great? Now you have this terrific character and he’s finally getting his story and you wonder if he’ll live up to the hype in your head…are you still with me? Well if you’re reading Viper’s story…don’t worry about it…he’s beyond that good! I have been waiting for Viper’s book and, once again, Ms. Rose did not fail me. Viper is such a fun character…big and scary but at the same time kind and considerate and the best dad ever…melts your heart. He also needed to hook up with someone that would keep him on his toes and by golly he did. Eden is strong, mouthy and has enough snark and sarcasm for 5 women. Yes ladies, the Crazy Coven has a new member and she’s not afraid to kick tail and take names. This book works your heartstrings and then has you cheering on the Coven…I love those ladies! Sexy, funny and exciting…totally worth waiting for. Now on to Sniper…can’t wait!

Viper, Viper, Viper.... You big giant, scary, alert, teddy bear *swoon

Viper has almost has his woman before but we all soon realise it's not too be so when I knew for sure this was his book - I was there with feathers on!
And as for his lady? Oh good lord, The Coven just keep needing a bigger bail fund!!!

If you've read the previous books, you'll get that jest. If you haven't, you're missing out.

This is a book - and series - of an MC who have home legit, they want an ordinary working life and are ready for he quiet life.
That's not to say though, if someone crosses them? Oh boy!! Run. Just run.

But alongside them are their women and they are nuts! Over the top, loud mouthed, no filters women with the biggest hearts who have been nicknames The Coven!

It's a fun read with a side of drama, heartache, deep emotions, steam and laughter.

Really enjoyed it 🤗

Viper and Eden were great characters. They're no-nonsense. They communicate without playing games, and they both put Viper's son Archer's safety above all else. Love their little family.

At this point, this is my new comfort series and I need Sniper’s book ASAP 👀

Oh boy...Eden was fun! She really fit in with this crowd. Viper and Eden's first meeting was memorable, to say the least, but I think it was their second that I liked more. When Viper realized who his son had been spending time with. That to everything else. It was fun to see Viper keep getting shot down for dating, but how he was nice about it to Eden and wiggled his way into a friendship that quickly went to more.

The drama with the Russians is still very front and center in this one and sadly Eden gets pulled in. I understood her reluctance to help, but glad that when she did learn things, she let the club know. It made all the difference for them in how they reacted and helped them stay on top.

I think my favorite thing about this book was the last part with Eden, gathering up a posse of the women to do what needed to be done. At some point Archer will learn and I think realize just how special he is, despite what he over heard.

ARC review

Another amazing installment for the devil soldiers MC and once again Emily Rose deliver a thrilling action packed story with characters that have you laughing out loud and wanting them all to be on the winning side what is also a great thing about her books is not only the main lead characters points of view but also the villain of the story point of view his plans frustrations which makes the story even more appealing in this installment of the MC plans to stop the Russian bratrva is Viper finding his old lady Eden

Viper is character that has been in from the beginning and even in some of Emily fire and ink series he is know for loving a the crazy ones but Viper is a Loyal brother to the club and has a son archer who is is everything and will stop at nothing to ensure he is in his life. Meeting Eden was a one off and meant to be that one off but she is in his heart body and soul after that one encounter but no luck in finding her but afterwards but when he finds her in the most unlikely place he knows he won't let her slip away again and do what it takes to get her and protect her his son and the MC family from the evil that is trying to destroy them.

Eden only wants that one night not looking for serious after all she is a strong independent take no nonsense kind of women oh and a little crazy but after one night she also has trouble with wanting a repeat meeting Archer she has taken a need to protect him after hearing things she shouldn't which also impact Viper and archer and fear for her safety she does the only thing she can do and depend on Viper and his club to keep them all safe but this will also put her in a position where the carer she has been building at risk and maybe her freedom

As the world for both Viper and Eden change and become more dangerous and the Russian threat ramped up taking it to a place where no one is off limits can MC weather the storm and is the bail bond fund going to be enough to cover the craziness that Eden will bring to the ladies of the club and their friends poor shadow he may need to triple the take especially with future that is happening with this book

In The Devil's Desire, the fifth instalment of the Devil's Soldiers MC series, Emily Rose ignites the pages once again with an irresistible blend of passion, suspense, and delicious storytelling. At the heart of it all is Viper, the quintessential sexy biker whose allure is matched only by his unwavering devotion to his son. What truly sets Viper apart is his genuine and tender love for his child, a quality that adds layers to his character and will tug at your heartstrings.

As the sparks fly between Viper and the strong-willed Eden in a steamy one-night stand, I find myself falling even harder for Viper as he embarks on a relentless quest to find her. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, fate intervenes, bringing them together in a twist of destiny that is as exhilarating as it is unexpected.

Amidst the sizzling chemistry and heart-pounding romance, Ms Rose masterfully weaves in elements of suspense and mystery, keeping readers on the edge of their seats with each turn of the page. The Devil's Desire is a thrilling rollercoaster of emotions that showcases this author's talent for crafting unforgettable characters and gripping stories. With its compelling blend of love, danger, and intrigue, this novel is a must-read for fans of steamy romance and captivating storytelling alike.

ARC Review - What an amazing read!! Wish I could give more then 5 stars. Viper and Eden's story is absolutely fantastic! Eden is a strong independent women who isn't afraid to speak her mind. When she iver hears something that she shouldn't have she has to make a decision that could put her job as well as her self in jeopardy. Viper couldn't forget his one night stand and tried to find her multiple times with no luck. He gets a second chance to see Eden and he will do whatever it takes to make her his. When Eden does everything in her power to push Viper away he always has the right words to say to her that slowly has her rethinking her her decision on not wanting a man in her life. Things start to heat up with the Russians and Viper will do everything in his power to protect his son and Eden no matter the cost. At the end of the day Eden shows Viper, Archer and the Devil Soldier's family how strong and fierce she really can be. I always recommend starting from Book one of the series to have a understanding of the Characters in the book you will not be disappointed at all! Emily has done an amazing job bring her characters to love. You will laugh, cry and scream out in anger but it is so worth it!!

I loved this book and watching Eden and Vipers relationship grow.

Viper is the treasurer for the MC Club and you have snippets about Viper fighting for his son so in this book you see he fighting for his son.

Eden is a strong independent woman who as no Filter and says what she thinks, she had a one night stand with viper and leaves in the middle of the night.

Viper as been looking for Eden but can’t find her until he does were he did not think you would, then he goes back to see if Eden will give him a chance, but Eden keeps knocking him back. But he keeps coming back, But then Eden hears something about Vipers Club and goes to Viper about, so he see her more and the more they see each other the more he they cant deny the chemistry they have and that Eden as become Mama bear for Archer Vipers son.

But when someone comes both Eden and Archer can he get there in time to save them and have the happy after that Eden and Viper deserve and will Viper get his son full time.

Hot, Wild, Single Dad MC Romance

You are going to love everything about Eden & Viper's love story! Eden is an amazing FMC and she is sweet, caring, dedicated, and totally enamored by Viper and is determination to be the best dad possible to his son. You are going to love this wild and unpredictable ride between these characters. I adore all the characters of the Devil's Soldiers MC but Eden and Viper are going to carve a place in your heart.

Seeing Viper take on his MC roles as well as his role of Dad and how caring, attentive, and strong he is for his son...it will make you swoon!! I adored watching the other macho men of the MC let their guards downs and be the fun loving uncles to Viper's son. This single dad story really touched my heart. Eden is also such a strong woman that her interaction with the MC and Viper is unforgettable. The tension and heat is off the charts with these two and the pages will be on fire when they really open up to each other and allow them to fully become part of each other's worlds. It is a beautiful thing. Happy Reading!!

I have loved every book in this series and can't wait to see what FMC will be added to the coven next. Eden didn't disappoint at all. She is a spitfire, spunky independent woman who doesn't need a man and she let Viper know that many times. She fits in with the crazy other woman perfectly. I love how Viper and Eden met and it shows us from the beginning what kind of character Viper is and wow he is perfection. Viper is a single father who knows what he wants and goes after it and is persistent in his chase of Eden. When Eden hears something, she shouldn't and is put in danger he is right there to protect her, but wow she did the protecting on her end, and it was magnificent. I loved this book from the start you have everything you want from a good MC romance along with the continuation of the mysterious Russians. This series keeps getting better and better and I can't wait to see who's added next. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Viper and Eden. Same blueprint. Same group of bad guys. I have never seen the Russian mob so incompetent. I liked Viper in this but I didn't care for Eden as much. She does however end up in the 'coven' and it turns back into the reason I keep reading. The women of Devils MC are hilarious. I still appreciate the smooth flow of writing, the structure, and the mild violence and tolerable sex provided in these stories. I feel both are down the center in depth and expression and would appeal to a wider audience. I see the MC part of this less important as its more of a group of guys who just want to be free to love and live. The author handled having children more front and center than Quinn's little girl, and his story was so sad, I wanted to join Eden when she did the beat down on ...well guess that was a little spoiler. Either way, it was well deserved. I will be looking for book 6 in December when it comes out.

Wow...The Devil's Desire is one hot & spicy read.
Viper and Eden meet at a bar and have the hottest night of their lives.
Eden doesn't do relationships and she sneaks out on Viper.
Viper is a single dad to a very smart & hilarious son named Archer.
He is pleasantly surprised when comes across Eden one day, and finds out she works at the court house.
Eden is very adamant she does not want or need a relationship. But Viper & is very persistent.
Eden tries her best to resist him but Viper breaks down her walls, and they both find themselves falling for one another.
Eden and Archer become friends and she becomes very protective of him. When his sad excuse of a mother puts him in danger, she will stop at nothing to protect him.
Eden is an awesome addition to the "Coven".
This was a fun & exciting read. Emily Rose writes some awesome characters. And I can't wait for more!

I don't even know where to start ,
Was the book amazing Abso - freaking -lutly!
Did I get a little teary eyed - a little (maybe more than a little).
Eden is just amazing as a character and the way Viper supports and reassure her is just perfect , he says the right things and is just sooo perfect that it makes you love him more. Archer is also just as great and understanding and fits in soo perfectly. The suspense had me jumping up and down and the emotional parts with archer and Maggie (refuse to call her his mother) had me grabbing for the tissues. The whole book was just absolutely thrilling and emotional as the coven never lets you down and neither has Emily Rose with Viper and Eden's book

I want to be Eden when I grow up! OMG, Eden is my new favorite character. She is kick-ass with a lot of snarky comebacks. The banter between Eden and Viper is out of this world. I love the fact that as kick-ass as Eden is, she is soft when she needs to be, especially where kids are involved. She will take no prisoners as was evident when she took on Archer's mother. Viper, the devoted father that only wants what's best for his kid and also wants what the rest of his brothers have, is also fast becoming a favorite character. The interaction between these two was HOT!!! I just wished there was a bit more need of the Bail fund, or perhaps more interaction between Eden and Macy, I know these two could've gotten into some "good" trouble... lol. Another great story yet again.

Wow what a book, what a character. Viper, you big brave strong sexy teddy bear! Just wow! And Eden is this strong female kick-ass character who is feisty and says her deal. She is a great asset to the Coven as well. Do I feel sorry for the guys: nope! I also loved how protective she was of Archer( Viper’s son). But then again Archer is a great kid and you can’t do anything but fall in love with him.
She didn’t make it easy for Viper but he always knew what to say and could make her walls crumble piece by piece.
This story has so much: love and steamy scenes, drama, suspense, danger, an ongoing dispute with the Russians…
Really trust me: read this book and definitely read this series!!!!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I love this series. At this point everyone is like family. It is always great to catch up with everyone and meet the new women. Eden definitely fits in. She is strong and feisty. A great new addition to The Coven women.

Except for the first scene between Viper and Eden, it is not until almost halfway into the book that they share a physical scene again. That is not to mean that the chemistry between them is not still hot. In fact, the scenes are so worth the wait and only get hotter.

The other aspect of this book is the threat that the Devils are facing with the Russians. They show just how strong their bond and will do anything to protect their own.

Devil’s Desire by Emily Rose is the entrancing story of Viper and Eden. They meet and its’ FIRE!! But, she leaves without a goodbye. Little do they know, they’re about to meet up again…

This story had me immediately hooked!!! Loved Viper and his charming, dominant ways. Eden is a spitfire and has a few surprises of her own. When they meet again, it isn’t under the best of circumstances. Danger and death awaits…and there’s nowhere to hide!! Abso-freaking-lutely AMAZING read!!! I couldn’t stop reading…loved all of the characters. I like when the author has a few chapters included from the antagonist’s point-of-view. Getting into his/her head helps bring more depth to the story!!! Excellent story!!!

When I tell you that this book had me in a chokehold as soon as I started reading it. The connection between Eden and Viper is out of this world I can't even explain it. I love Vipers personality and demeanor as a person and the way he goes about his trials and tribulations. This man is so sexy, I can't even explain it, he's hard and scary but is he a little teddy bear yes he IS!
Eden's personality is amazing, she's witty and a spitfire but she's not shy to show him a good time and all the sexy things that he loves. This woman is one strong b#$%& and I love it! It's exactly what Viper has always wanted and is looking for and I'm so glad that this is the exact person he was meant to be with.

This series it only get’s better and better with each book; and the plot that counties throughout the whole thing is the chef kiss. Viper and Eden found something when they least expected. Viper going through the drama with his ex and Eden putting herself on a break from relationship’s but one crazy night together they both can’t denied the pull each other. When Viper runs into Eden after looking for a month it was a surprise to found her with his son at one of the toughest time’s they were going through. This book is a one cray ride and Eden is no doormat of women and fits right in with the rest of the women. O and when Eden goes full mamma bear it’s so so so good. I can’t wait for more of this series.

I loved this book! I found Eden to be Viper's match as they are both strong, protective individuals that communicate and listen to each other. I lost track of the number of times I giggled, snorted and laughed out loud while reading. The author's way of balancing out the light with the heavy is perfection for me. And, how Eden stands up for Archer (Viper's son) made me cheer. She is a storm to behold when she is riled. This series continues the story arc of the Russian Mafia trying to get established in the Devil's Soldiers town. If you have been wondering if you need to read this series, I say YES!

This book is off the wall good.
The sass, the smart mouth and telling the honest to god truth, is what makes up Eden personality. This is what draws Viper to her that results in a one night stand. Little did they know that it would end up being more than what they both thought.
When things start getting hectic with the MC and it starts involving Archer (Viper's son), both Viper and Eden step up. Eden become protective of Archer (which pleases Viper beyond words)
With what happens in this book for them to have their HEA, all i can say is that when i grow up I want to be just like Eden and find my very own Viper.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Tall, dark, charismatic and handsome, Viper is battling his ex for custody of his son. A one night of no strings attached passion, leaves him wanting more of the stunning, sexy, sassy Eden, who sneaks out before he wakes. Both are surprised when they meet again in the courthouse where Eden works.

Another brilliant Devils Soldiers MC story. Quick paced and packed with corruption, Mafia, deceit, danger and angst. Along with the expected hilarious antics of the Ol ladies who welcome Eden into the coven along with her loud and brash friend, even Vipers sweet son thinks the bail fund needs additional funds.

I read this in one sitting and can’t wait for Snipers story next.

ARC review: I truly enjoyed reading this book ( and the rest of the book series).
Vioer and Eden story was fun to read and I had more than few moments where I giggled. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Vioer is the guy who I read about in previous books and I love his relationship that he has with his son and how he put him first.
Eden - she is perfect match for Viper but also for Coven and their crazy antics. I love how she cares for Archer and how she takes care of things when it was needed. And lover her mother instincts and care she shows towards him.
Can’t wait for a next book because I am sure it will be amazing read

This book was absolutely phenomenal. Emily outdid herself again. Viper and Eden's dynamic was perfect. Viper is such an alpha male and Eden is such a strong female character, it was like a match made in heaven. This book had everything that you would want in a book. The romance was spot on and they continuing storyline throughout the series is incredible cannot wait for the next book. Archer's storyline was so brilliantly written and it just broke my heart. I loved the banter between all the characters and as with her books you get such a sense of family and what they would do for each other. I would highly recommend this book and the entire series.

Another well written addition to the series. Aswell as a very believable love story Emily doesn't force the overall background storyline and let's them progress at a natural speed. After several books of joking about what he would like in a women viper gets exactly what he wished for in Eden. The way the book progresses is great and the relationship doesn't feel forced as they deal with their issues as they occur. Edensor interactions with archer as heartwarming and cute. Overall I couldn't say enough good things about this entry into the series and can't wait to read the next one.

Not Viper over here giving my man Talon a run for his money…and Eden- hello girl crush! I’m pretty much obsessed with her and her no nonsense attitude. If you’re familiar with this series you know Viper likes em a little crazy, well he got it in spades with this one.

There is a good amount of drama, spice and humor to keep the reader engaged and entertained. The star of the show however is Archer, that is one strong boy and there are some sensitive subjects around his character that I think the author handled wonderfully. I’m looking forward to more from this group and this storyline.

Oh how I’ve missed this group of people.

Viper and Eden were perfect for one another.

After their one night of fun, Viper tries to find Eden after she snuck off on him but has come up empty. Only to find her at the one spot he didn’t expect.

Eden will not even admit to Herself that sneaking out on Viper after one of the hottest night of her life
may have been a mistake.

This girl however is dead set on no relationship. But when she suddenly sees him again, he makes it very hard for her to resist him. And boy does she try to resist.

The protection that Eden instantly had toward Archer made my heart full. Hearing Viper’s point of view at seeing that protection, I really enjoyed.

All of the “coven” and “bail bond” talk in this book had me cracking laughing out load. Eden is definitely a perfect fit with these women.

Arc review: I loved Viper and Eden’s storyline. He’s everything one could hope for when being a single dad dealing with a difficult custody situation. She lives up to her nickname Spitfire. She’s strong willed, levelheaded even if she can give Sage a run for her money on crazy, and not afraid to fight for those she cares about. This whole series has had me crying laughing at scenes including this book. I can’t wait for Snipers story next
