Ridin' for Hell
In this life, you reap what you sow…
Not everyone wants to run from their past.
Some bastards embrace the chance to hunt their prey and seek vengeance. They thrive on carnage. Like me.
It’s the reason I’m the club’s SGT at Arms.
I handle the hard shit and the messy jobs for my pres. Anything that inflicts pain and spills blood. I love to lose control because that’s when my demons come out to play.
Protecting my club and finding justice for my sister are all I have left after six years without closure.
Revenge and chaos have become my life.
Until I meet a sexy nurse who changes everything. Nylah is the light to my darkness. The angel sent to save a demon.
When my past threatens her, I can’t stay in the shadows any longer. I’ll raise Hell to keep her safe and make her mine. Not a single soul can stop me.
They call me Azrael, the Angel of Death—a one-way ticket to Hell. When you see me, run. I won’t show mercy.
My Reaper is ready to ride. And where he goes, death and destruction follow. I’ll have my vengeance, my woman, and justice, no matter the consequences.

Twisted Devil
The RBMC is mine. My club. My family. My salvation. And I will do anything to protect it.
I'm brutal. Crazy. Ruthless. And I won't apologize for it.
I never believed I would love anything as much as being SAA and taking the Devil's Ride. Becoming a Reaper and patching in with the RBMC were the best decisions I ever made.
Until I met Nylah.
The feisty nurse owns my black soul. She's become the most critical person in my world.
My life in the club is too dangerous for her, but I won't give her up.
She's an obsession. An addiction. The light to my darkness. A liability.
When my past surfaces, along with all the bad things I've done in the name of vengeance, I know I have to let her go.
It's the only way to keep her safe.
Losing Nylah forces the monster within to break free and lash out. Secrets. Lies. Betrayal. It's the shocking truth that unleashes the beast I've tried so hard to contain.
The twisted devil inside is done with following the rules.
My Reaper is willing to risk everything, even a deal with the devil, to save Nylah.
And there isn't any place where my enemies will be able to hide.

Hell Rider is part of the RBMC/GBMC Tonopah, NV world. This box set contains the first two books in Rael's story. This is a dark romance with mature content, human trafficking, kidnapping, torture, revenge, biker slang, and violence with a paranormal REAPER twist.

Utterly Fantastic

This is for of us that love our MC books dark, dirty with a little bit of PNR added to it. Only Nikki Landis would have me reading PNR. Rael is looking for revenge on his sister but along the way he meets a feisty nurse who has gotten under his skin. After rescuing Nylah’s sister he finds various connections to his past.

When will Rael’s Reaper make an appearance and how will all of this affect the relationship between Nylah and himself. This was an awesome book that I highly recommend.

Hell Rider by Nikki Landis is the explosive story of Rael and Nylah. She’s an ER nurse. He’s the Sargeant at Arms for the RBMC. She’s accosted and he’s there to help. But, he falls for her…immediately and with no regrets. But, there are things he and the MC don’t know. She’s in more serious danger than she knows….and her sister is in even more danger!!

This story just engulfed me and surrounded my heart!!! Rael shouldn’t have feelings like this…but, Nylah is something else for him….something else entirely. She wants to help her sister. Never could either of them believe that these two things would become hopelessly entwined…freaking LOVED THIS STORY!!! Best of the series!!! Aaaaamazing!!!

[Amanda M · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved revisiting Rael's story. It is one hell of a ride that's a bit dark with a slight paranormal twist but so damn good. Azareal a.k.a. Rael, the Angel of Death and his quest for vengeance ends with finding more than he bargained for. So many twists and turns too. Nylah and Rael will take you for a ride in this. You'll be on the edge of your seat reading this. It's an action packed story that had me turning pages, needing and wanting to know more. This is a well executed story and it's written well. I absolutely loved this boxset.

3.75stars--HELL RIDER the re-release of the author's RIDIN' FOR HELL and TWISTED DEVIL focusing on SAA Ian Azrael’ ‘Rael’ Braxton, and nurse Nylah Peters

REVIEW: RIDIN’ FOR HELL is the third instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult RBMC: TONOPAH NV dark, erotic, paranormal MC romance, set in the multi-authored RBMC series. This is SAA Ian Azrael’ ‘Rael’ Braxton, and nurse Nylah Peters’ story line. RIDING’ FOR HELL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives (Rael, Nylah, Naomi ) RIDIN’ FOR HELL follows the search for a human trafficker in the wake of the disappearance and torture of several young women. Having found an injured woman on the side of the road, RBMC SAA Ian Azrael’ ‘Rael’ Braxton will come face to face in the ER with his future in the guise of Nylah Peters. Nylah’s sister has been several injured but fearing for her life. Continues to run. Unaware of her attraction to Rael, Nylah becomes desperate and begs for help from Rael and the RBMC.

The world building follows several converging paths as the RBMC chapters continue to hunt for the men responsible. From Alaska to Nevada, the human traffickers appear to be winning, as the RBMC must come to terms with the who and the why.

The relationship between Nylah and Rael is one of immediate attraction but Nylah is a little bit naïve as to the world of the RBMC. With the hope of saving and protecting her sister, Nylah finds herself falling for a man who is more than she could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic and powerful secondary and supporting characters including the member of the RBMC : Tonopah, RBMC: Alaska; and RBMC: Nola. We are introduced to Nylah’s sister Naomi aka Mimi. The requisite evil has many faces.

RIDIN’ FOR HELL is a story of power, abuse and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and determined.

********

TWISTED DEVIL is the tenth instalment and novella in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult ROYAL B*STARDS MC, dark, erotic, MC romance series set in Tonapah Nevada, and part of the multi-authored RBMC series. TWISTED DEVIL is the continuing story of RBMC Sargent at Arms Ian ‘Rael aka Asrael’ Braxton and his old lady, urgent care nurse Nylah Peters. Rael and Nylah’s story begins in book three RIDIN’ FOR HELL.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

NOTE: Nikki Landis recommends reading Ridin’ For Hell for backstory and cohesion.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rael and Nylah) TWISTED DEVIL follows ongoing relationship between Ian ‘Rael aka Asrael’ Braxton and his old lady Nylah Peters. Nylah Peters is an urgent care nurse and three times in one week she has seen a mysterious car that disappears when she heads for home but one night Nylah finds herself the victim of an abduction, an abduction meant to draw out the man that she loves.

Meanwhile, Rael receives a call from a ghost, a ghost he long thought buried and gone but a ghost Rael invites back into their lives.

The relationship between Rael and Nylah continues to be passionate and intense but when the past returns Rael is determined to legally claim the woman he loves, love that he never thought he could understand or want.

TWISTED DEVIL is a fast paced, quick read focusing on the demons from the past, retribution, family and love. The premise is engaging and dramatic; the romance is erotic and intense; the characters are energetic and charismatic.

Riding for Hell

The start of Rael and Nylah's whirlwind romance. They meet under the most gruesome circumstances. Rael happened to be at the right place at the right time to save a life. Quickly after their first meeting, you realize Nylah is a bit of a spitfire who is not afraid to get up in a scary biker's face,; she is a fierce little thing, to say the least. The undeniable attraction between them will not be ignored.

What happened to the woman Rael saved brings up old emotions from his past, and it seems his past is about to collide with his future. We loved Rael and Nylah's story, how she was light to his darkness, and even though we felt he was undeserving, he kept her anyway. Every time he calls her kitten, it makes us laugh.

The plot is intriguing as Rael thinks there is more to the story than just a random act, and he tends to get to the bottom of things. Rael visits the past in this story, some of it good, and heartbreaking, and our heart goes out to the man as he feels so much guilt and yet he has not been able to enact his revenge.

This was one sexy hot read; Nylah and Rael burned up the sheets. The characters are fantastic; we love them all. The plot, as always, has a lot of moving parts, this is an ongoing plot, they are getting to know the players and who they are, how they are connected, and some may even surprise you. The club is one step closer to its goalpost.

This story is heart-wrenching and goes to the heart of the reader as the characters all have a story of their own, and it is not always pretty, but they find their perfect match, light to the dark to heal their broken souls. We loved it, and the paranormal -themed characters and their special abilities.

Twisted Devil -

Nylah and Rael, the Sergeant at Arms, and the sexy nurse!

Things are heating up in this current tale, Rael is all fired up, and it all surrounds The Scorpion MC and those trafficking Russians. Some big secrets come to light in this explosive plot. Wow! OMG!

The story focuses on Nylah and Rael, the growth of their relationship, and their incredible chemistry, which leads to a ton of hot and sexy scenes. We loved them as a couple; they are perfect for one another. No matter the danger that surrounds them, and the club, Rael is still up to his old antics and mischievous ways to lighten the mood of things.

The story was high-octane all the way through, and we loved it. These two as a couple are a favorite of ours in this series, the dark/light. We have never seen a couple more perfect for one another.

Surprise after surprise in this one; the secrets are astounding. An even bigger twist presented itself in this one, and we have to say it will benefit the good guys in the long run. This plot was a page-turner for sure.

[Gin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this crazy series with a different kind of brother. These guys all have something extra when they make the Devil’s Ride and merge with their Reaper. Yeah, it took me a minute to get behind this one of a kind MC series but I love the supernatural aspect. It’s violent and dangerous and brutal with enemies at every turn and their women in danger. Those evil Russians just won’t die! Our heroine, Nylah is fantastic. A trauma nurse that’s seen the damage up close and personal in the ER. She’s a terrific match for the crazy Rael. He’s a scary brother that’s exacted tons of damage and reaped lots of soul, especially with the Russians and the Railroad that traffics women and kids. This story is all about Rael, his woman and one big surprise. Well, actually two but his Reaper is the cause of one. The other is from his past but it’s a happy development and brings two new people to the club. All the other favorites are in the book to help but Rael goes rogue when Nylah is in danger. Another development when his Berserker comes out. Deadly! There’s a continuing storyline so it’s best if the stories are read in order but you could read this as a standalone. This is a fantastic compilation of Rael and Nylah’s romance with an epilogue that sets up for the next installment. It’s gonna be good! An exceptional MC series with terrific brotherhood, feisty old ladies, and loads of danger, violence and mayhem.

[Deborah Peach · Rating 4 out of 5]

You get a double dose of romance and terror of this Reaper in a two-book set. His road name is Azrael, or Rael, as his RBMC brothers call him, and his position within the club is the Sergeant at Arms for the Tonopah branch. When saving a young woman, he meets the nurse of his dreams, Nylah, and his Reaper readily agrees. The young woman Rael saved turned out to be Nylah's sister and the property of Rael's much-hated enemy, who is Russian. He brings her back to the clubhouse for safekeeping, and she uncovers the secret he hides within—his Reaper. As Rael eliminates minions on the lower ladder rungs searching for the Russian, he discovers he has fallen in love with Nylah. Unfortunately, danger comes calling for her, allowing the Reaper side to appear. Rael rushes against the clock to find Nylah before her time runs out and repair the damage he caused to her tender heart.

Ridin' For Hell:
This is a dark, twisted story with unexpected twists that pulled me into the story and held my attention from the first page until the last. Azrael and Nylah are total opposites but they are so great for each other. Their story is packed with action, drama, angst, revenge, danger, passion and so much more.
Twisted Devil:
Twisted Devil is book ten in the RBMC Tonopah, NV series and with each book I read this series just gets better and better. In this book we get more of Rael and Nylah's journey and with every twist and turn in this nail biting story I was pulled in and I didn't stop reading until the final page. This is a well written story with intriguing characters, MC drama and danger, passion, secrets, lies, suspense, unexpected twists, and a page turning story that held me captive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Christine Woinich · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ridin' for Hell - Rael was living in a negative, dark world. Circumstances brought Nylah into his life. I loved how driven Rael was by vengeance and guilt, loyalty to his brothers, and accepting of Nylah immediately as his. Nylah had her own strengths and mission in life, but she welcomed and trusted Rael quickly. Their story was touching throughout the danger they were in.

Twisted Devil - A dark and steamy story. It pulled at my heart strings as well as entertained me. Nylah and Rael were made for each other. I loved how accepting Nylah was of Rael, his reaper, and the berserker. Her love was for all of him, no matter what. Rael made mistakes, but he could not stop his love for Nylah. The heat between them was quite scorching as well. I enjoyed the story.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

[Paige Wuerdemann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I know I’ve read these books from Nikki Landis before in their standalone version but I could not help myself from revisiting Rael and Nylah.

I loved them the first time I read their books and getting to revisit them by rereading their stories is always a pleasure. And this redesigned cover for them is amazing! As is always with this series I could not get enough of the stories and found myself binging them because I love Real and Nylah!

This books definitely have some trigger warnings and are darker in nature.

As always it is a joy and pleasure to read the books by Nikki Landis. I cannot wait to see if she does more of these box sets for her novels because it’s always a pleasure to be able to go back and reread them!

This is an awesome collection which is bad boy, Rael, Sergeant-At-Arms, and nurse Nylan’s journey.

I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ridin' For Hell - This book describes in great detail about what happens to girls kidnapped and sold into sex trafficking. Might cause triggers for some. Danger, sick evil men, and retribution. HEA for Real & Nyla, but trouble is still around the corner. Twisted Devil - Wow, I knew Rael was different as far as personality goes from other books, but he's single minded when it comes to Nylah, his old lady, his "beloved". When she's kidnapped, he goes rogue and pulls on both his other halves to find her. His rath knows no bounds. HEA.

[Ann L · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set comprises of the first two books telling the story of Rael, the RBMC Sergeant At Arms and Nylah, the nurse who captured his heart.

This is dark, intense, and action-packed, and delivers a gripping MC romance filled with vengeance, redemption, and an unstoppable love that defies the darkness.

Perfect for those who crave dangerous bikers, fearless heroines, and high-stakes passion and is page turning from the start.

I loved revisiting Rael and Nylah. I fell in love with Rael all over again. I love the book cover it's amazing! As always with this series I could not get enough of these two. They fell hard and fast, the steam, the banter, the emotions you can't help, but want more of them.

I enjoyed this book

[Chloe]

DNF at 67%. It started off good and I even looked past the fact that they were in love wayyy too quickly but it just became very dragged out. I also didn’t really like the language… so yea dnf
