About the author
Erin Trejo
187 books1,340 followersI am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.
I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.
I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.

I always love when I start a new chapter with Erin.... this time around we are in Iowa with the Bleeding Aces MC
Darn it, what a way for Erin to start a new series, with Tarek finding a woman in the alley by his Strip club unconscious and half dead behind a dumpster, You know, he couldn’t call the police due to his connections to the Mc. .. but darn it you would of thought he would at least take her to the hospital to get help…… nope We’re talking about a man with a tortured soul …. Tarek had took her back to the clubhouse cuz he decided he was going to rename her LaLa And keep her, but he had no idea shi%t storm he walked into, or who her family is
Imagine her surprise when she wakes up to find herself handcuffed to his bed……. With all that She had see and endure by her own family’s hand
I swear. There were times that Tarek had me LMAO
, and other times I was completely heartbroken
This book was no disappointment, so good and very hard to put down……… I can’t wait to read more about each and every Tortured soul In this chapter.

I wasn’t familiar with this author, but she has a lot of very highly rated mc books out there, so I thought I’d give one a try. I knew early it wasn’t a good fit. The blurb didn’t sound quite as ridiculous as the plot was executed.

Loved This Book!!
Talk about saving each other; that is exactly what Tarek and LaLa/Pierson did for each other. Tarek had a tragic past and Pierson is living a nightmare with her father trying to marry her off to a man she wants nothing to do with.
It was Tarek that found Pierson behind the club’s strip club and brought her back to the clubhouse but he sure wasn’t counting on the extent he would have to go to in order to protect her.
This was a fast-paced MC book that brought so much to the table with the drama, steam and betrayals that made it a huge page turner for me. This author never disappoints and this is just another in her string of hit MC books.

When Tarek finds a girl passed out in an alley, no identification in sight he takes her back to the clubhouse. I mean, why not? What could go wrong?
Pierson was born into mafia royalty, but it’s not what it’s cracked up to be. After seeing another life taken in front of her eyes, she knows she has to run. The mafia doesn’t like witnesses. Ready to end it all rather than living in fear, she makes the decision. Waking up in an MC was not what she expected.
With so much regret and loss in their pasts, this could be a volatile combination. Will Tarek and Pierson learn from their mistakes or go down in flames together?

This was actually quite sweet for Erin. Tarek finds a half dead girl outside the strip club, she’s overdosed but instead of taking her to the hospital he takes her back to the club house to look after her and stop her trying again.
The connection that simmers between them is fast at boiling point that’s when they both prove their love for the other which angers them both .
Erin has brought more characters to life with a new MC series and I for one couldn’t be happier

I liked that this story has it all. It starts as a mystery when Tarek finds a girl behind a dumpster in an ally. Then we learn about their past stories and have all the heartstrings pulled. The final conclusion with more feels and heart tugs. In between all that is some really HOT scenes! Can’t wait to see where this MC leads us next!

Tarek and LaLa are off the charts hot. Tarek finds LaLa in the alley behind a strip club half dead. He decides to keep her and takes her back to the Club House to help her and to keep her safe. This book is a great start to a new MC series. Erin Trejo is such an awesome writer and on of my favorites. Everything she writes comes back as 5 stars.
September 25, 2023
This is going to be a great series, the first book is amazing. Tarek and Pierson were both broken, both needing someone on their side, someone who wouldn't leave, someone to accept all their baggage. Absolutely loved these two and can't wait for more in this series!
September 25, 2023
Within the first few chapters, I was snorting with laughter at Tarek, and his thought process. How he meets LaLa and subsequently keeps her in the club is something I won't forget.
They both battle their demons for each other.
Another great read from Erin.

A new series that starts off with a bang. It all begins in an alley and from there it takes off. I really liked the turn of events as the story came together. It's worlds colliding, suspense, and action. An excellent read.

If this book is any indication of how this series is going to go, it is going to be fantastic!! Tarek and Pierson both have a past they are trying to overcome. The chemistry between these two is so hot! Will Tarek be able to save her from herself? Will they be able to heal each other?
September 30, 2023
O.M.F.G… What a way to start a new series!! Any time Erin posts she has something up her sleeve for us I do my happy dance because I know it’s going to be awesome and it always is. Both of these people have been through hell and back. MC life and his brothers is all he’s had until coming across her. Now he has someone else to hold close.
I’m looking forward to more from this series and can’t wait to read book two, Cage, next. 🖤🔥💀🔥🖤
My favorite quote:
“It does make sense. Who the hell knows where I’d be if you hadn’t come along? You make everything better, baby.”

Book 1 in the Bleeding Aces MC series was a reasonably fast-paced MC story filled with action, drama, humour, lies, steam and a little suspense.
Tarek!! This man had me intrigued and hooked from the beginning.
I loved his unhinged and hilarious..... Yep I'm keeping this half dead woman I found.. to his vulnerable, caring and uber protective side.
"She might not be my redemption, but she damn sure is something."
These two were actually perfect for each other...
Pierson is a 'mafia princess' who while no 'damsel' needs saving from her current situation and Tarek needs saving from his tragic / heartbreaking past.
Their journey, like most, was not without it's drama and on the edge of your seat moments but I enjoyed reading as these two opened up about their lives and pasts and realised just how much they need each other in more ways than one.
I enjoyed this start to a new series...
And...
With a few intriguing side characters I'm looking forward to Book 2!

I adored Tarek, he was rough around the edges and could be violent if required but he had heart and vulnerability, he had a past that lived with him and a softness that made him want to help the unconscious girl he rescued. LaLa was strong enough to run but broken by everything, she sees no way out and has no one to turn too, until she is found. Wonderful relationship that grows as each get to know the other despite the darkness just off to the side, I was held and interested, invested in the characters and what would happen. This had a few twists, suspense and action. It had heat, but it also had sensuality and a binding of two souls thst really needed the other to fix the broken, heal and love. Fabulous start to a new MC Series by Erin and I can't wait to read more.

Fantastic read!!!!
Whoa!!! What a ride. I didn’t think I would like Tarek after some event in the beginning of the book but he managed to change my mind. Pierson was such a sweet leading lady. Both have been through some horrible things in life but find their way to each other.
I was nervous reading this one because Erin has torn my heart and stomped on it and then dragged it through broken glass before (I will never get over Crow) but never fear…you won’t be taken down that path.
You will, however, be taken down a path of betrayal, mystery, intrigue, redemption, acceptance and love. Fantastic read!!!!

Excellent MC read and a great start to an MC series chapter. As usual Ms. Trejo has given us a wonderful storyline full of emotion, suspense and dangers. I loved Tarek’s protective nature for the girl (Pierson) he found unconscious in an alley. He decided to take her home to care for her. But who is she and what happens when she wakes up? Pierson’s past is a nightmare thanks to her father and his plans for her. But is Tarek and his possessive nature any better?
Hold on to your hat with this one. Ms. Terjo will take you one one heck of a ride as these two navigate the drama, deceptions that surround them.
2 Thumbs UP and 5+ Stars

What a way to start a new series! Tarek is absolutely fantastic! I love his quirky personality and behavior. His and
Pierson's relationship is ultimately what they both needed. Pierson running from her father who's Head of the Catoli Family and Tarek, though from opposite ends if the spectrum are completely perfect together. They save each other in ways that no one else could. I'm excited to see where this series goes. Coming from this author there's no doubt we're going to be in for an epic ride!

An emotional ride
Well, that wasn't at all like I expected. When Tarek finds a girl behind the strip club, he didn't know what he was in for. What he does know is that he's drawn to her for some reason. When he learns the truth, he makes it his mission to keep her safe.
Pierson may be running from her family because of what she has seen, but Tarek is ready to run right in to save her. This book had me all in my feels. What started with a tragedy ended with a sacrifice for love. If you aren't an avid reader of Erin's books, what are you really doing with your life?

This is a really awesome read with two amazingly different characters from way different paths and different lives, she is a mafia princess and he is a total alpha male who is a member from the Bleeding Aces MC he ends up finding her half dead behind the Strip Club after she tries to end all ties from the horrible life she has been raised in, he is only out to save her from herself. This is an amazing thrilling ride of wild emotions with lots of twists and turns and action.

When Tarek finds a girl OD’d outside the strip club he takes her back to the Clubhouse. When she comes round she’s scared, it takes a while to find out what from but when he does he goes about helping her.
Honestly thought we were going to get a typical Erin Trejo finish but I was pleasantly and happily surprised, what, you may ask, grab a copy and find out. This is brilliant and I can’t wait for more from the new guys in her world.

Another epic story by one of my all time favorite authors. I am never disappointed by her books and this one goes to prove the point that she never misses. I spent the entire time on the edge of my seat. I adore Tarek and Pierson. Their chemistry is off the charts. Absolutely perfect.

Tarek is the 1st book in the Bleeding Aces MC: Iowa series. It starts off full of action. Tarek and Pierson are amazing together. Their chemistry is blazing hot. The plot was entertaining and well developed. It’s a great MC read. *this was a complimentary copy and this is my honest review*
