Psycho: A Shifter MC Romance

by C.J. Pinard

Not completely psychotic, but keep pushing him…

Wolf shifter Sheppard Madden came from nothing. Following a horrific event that left him with the nickname Psycho, he formed the Bayou Wolves MC after being forced to leave Minnesota. There in the Crescent City, he found a pack of likeminded wolves and humans who are loyal to him and follow his lead without question. To all outward appearances, Psycho and his men are just another club doing charity events and everything else legal. But this club has much darker things happening behind the scenes.

The Wolves get a call from another MC that they have a victim needing protection. Psycho and his men go get her, but she’s not what they were expecting. With defiance in her purple-blue eyes, all Nera Kennedy wants is to go home after surviving an ordeal she’d rather forget. Psycho has convinced her to stay within the protective confines of the Bayou Wolves’ compound, but will she continue to be shielded from the bastards who took her, or will the Wolves not be enough to protect her?

Psycho is book 1 in the Bayou Wolves MC series, and is for readers 18 and older. Please check the note/trigger warning on page 1 before you download.

I read this book because the author will be attending a book convention I'm attending in Vancouver this summer and I'm trying to read lots of the authors. This one was the first I've read by this author. It was okay, super steamy sexy times, some action / adventure in the plot... It was alright but I'm not a super big fan when two characters fall for one another so heavily without any history to explain it (insta-love). This one wasn't terrible in terms of that, but it definitely had it. I would say if you're into werewolf stories and motorcycle club / gang tropes you will probably enjoy this one.

OK so first of all in the very beginning right after you open this ebook it has trigger warnings. This book is basically a spinoff of the Nighthawks MC and in the same universe. It mentions rape but throughout the novella you get to see people recovered and the main FC recover from her abuse. It's violent but then it's set in a Vampire/Werewolf/Witch & Warlock world. Things are gonna be a little violent. Also, mentions this in the trigger warnings. Just read it, I was happy to see the FMC and MMC grow and fall in love with each other and can't wait for the series to continue.

Another great MC shifter romance! I love that she has incorporated the vampires from her other series (Nighthawks MC which if you haven't read it you should!) You will love Psycho & Nera. They make the perfect compliment to each other. Psycho is the president of the Bayou Wolves and Nera is a Witch. They are considered natural enemies but when Nera needs help Psycho steps up and they learn to trust each other and eventually fall in love. This book has some really great side characters in it that I can not wait to read more about. The story had great flow with plenty of romance and action.

Ok I absolutely love paranormal stories and coming in second you guessed it mc stories. This was perfectly right up my alley. It was an awesomely well written story. It had romance, steamy scenes, great characters and a well told story. Shep( psycho) and Nera were an amazing couple. I enjoyed their HEA. This was a great first installment in the series. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Just a note there are some triggers so make sure this doesn’t bother you.

This new series…Bayou Wolves MC… definitely started off with a bang!!!! Hot bikers with a paranormal twist - what could be better? This book starts with the alpha Psycho and his mate Nera detailing the ups, downs and kidnappings leading to their HEA. This story has it all drama, intrigue, love, laughter, all the feels and HOT BIKERS♥️♥️

Excellent

What a great start to this new series. Good characters and storyline along with some good twists and turns plus some action and suspense. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to more of this series.

[Stephanie Pfeiff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read that left me wanting more (can't wait for the next one)! Love the alpha-MC/paranormal combo. There are a lot of characters, but the main players are well developed. Mid-level spice and S.A. triggers.

[Shannon Godwin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh wow! I love paranormal and MC so when you put them together you e absolutely have all of my attention. There is not a thing that I didn’t like in this book. Great writing! Can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!

[Heather · Rating 1 out of 5]

I have zero patience for books with ZERO obvious trigger warnings until you've already downloaded the book. Especially when the fmc was kidnapped and raped repeatedly.

If you don't think the list of tropes is a spoiler then the TW should be just as important to disclose in a blurb. Just disrespectful to readers, especially when the entire plot is her escaping and recovering.
