SCARLETT Someone has been messing with the only thing in my life that I love—my bakery. I’ve worked too hard and for too long to make my dream a reality for me to let someone destroy Crescent Sugar Bakery. The only problem is that I have no idea who is behind the break-ins and destruction.
When some of my best customers ask me what’s wrong and why I’m so stressed, I can’t keep my fear and anxiety locked down anymore. I guess it’s a good thing that they’re some of the old ladies of the Devil’s Saints MC because they take up my fight with fire and determination in their eyes. I’m just not sure they’ll be able to help because I’m not part of their club.
When Frenzy shows up, something sparks between us. He says that he’s going to find out who is out to get me, and I believe him. I also believe him when he says that I’m his. I’ve never felt this kind of connection before and the way he worships my curves makes me think Cupid has worked his magic on me this Valentine’s Day.
FRENZY The old ladies are taking over the clubhouse, but I can’t say that I mind too much. The biggest problem is that it reminds me that I don’t have one of my own. Maybe Cupid will take pity on me this year.
When the old ladies bring a problem that a baker friend is having, I’m the one assigned to go and check it out. It’s not the action I’m looking for, but keeping the streets of our city safe will have to do. But then I get my first look at Scarlett, and I know the little diaper wearing, arrow wielding baby has graced me with his presence.
I’m going to figure out who has it out for my woman’s bakery, but that’s not where this job ends. I’ll be proving to Scarlett that her curves were created for my hands only. She’s mine and nothing is going to get in the way of claiming her and getting her on the back of my bike. She’s my Valentine this year and for the rest of our lives.
*18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of the Devil’s Saints Motorcycle Club: New Orleans Chapter Series. The DSMC: NO is first mentioned in Flowers and Moonlight. The Seattle Chapter will get books as well and there will be crossover. The DSMC is not a one percenter club, but these guys don’t always operate within the law either. This series will be darker as the club has ties to the Guidice Crime Family. Don’t be surprised if there is OW (other women) drama within the series either.*
This Valentine's Day, more than love is in the air when six of your favorite authors bring you a series full of temptation. Each story is filled with true love, twists and turns along with unexpected surprises. From the spark of a first kiss to happily ever afters, you’ll find everything you need and more this holiday season.
Ember Davis loves alpha heroes with a range of emotions, but a strong sense of how to take care of their women. She loves her heroines from all walks of life, just like her heroes, and she wants them to be real and relatable. Her heroines tend to be sassy, opinionated and smart.
Ember is a stay at home mom of two who recently refound her love of books and all things romance and is so glad that she did. She’s always been creative, but writing and creating stories that she would love to read satisfies the dreams she had as a little girl. She loves butterflies, the color purple and enjoying time with her family.
Pssst, it’s totally a pen name, but everything above is 100% true.
This MC found family is the best!! Add more 'found' family with this story and it takes this story a step above! Frenzy falls basically the moment he hears Scarlett's name! And the love and family that he brings into her world is needed to bring her peace. Read this story!! And find all of Ember's Devil's Saints books - you will thank me later.
OMG, this series is just awesome. Yes, I jumped into the middle of a series and then went back and used KU to read the others. lol. Sooooo worth it. The books are hot, steamy, with a little scary thrown in. The men are protective, romantic, gruff bikers with hearts of gold. In this one, we start of with Scarlett at her bakery, Crescent Sugar Bakery. I was hungry for cookies and cupcakes the whole time I read this book, drat it. lol. Scarlett is living her dream of having her own bakery, she is just sad that her mother’s passing is what made it happen. Her back wall is covered in graffiti, and this isn’t the first time it has happened. Valerie works the front while Scarlett bakes in the back. She asks Val to have Andrew come by to paint the graffiti off after school. When the women of the Devil’s Saints MC come in for their yummies, they realize something is wrong with Scarlett. They coax it out of her and Cherise, the wife of the club’s president, Lucifer decides to do something about it by bringing it to the club. We get to see Wrenley and Prodigal again with their daughter, Maya. Sooooo cute. Sioux with Apostle and Tallulah with Scythe. Poor Scarlett is so upset about it all especially with Valentine’s Day coming, a big day for her business. Frenzy is chosen to go get the lay of the land and he immediately realizes that Scarlett is the woman for him. We find out about his past and his real name. I totally fell in love with him. A few more incidents happen while Hacker (as his name implies he is the one that handles everything electronics- like security systems, etc.) tries to set everything up to protect the business. When we find out who is behind all the trouble I was freaking shocked and livid. I laughed a lot during the book, because Frenzy is adorable with how he handles Scarlett. All of the men get all teddy beary around their women, but if someone says nasty stuff, etc. they are gonna be taken down, hard. Buh-bye bad guy. lol. Now that so many of the younger set of the DSMC are settling down and having babies, (who I just wanna make things for and give hugs and kisses, and sniff the baby smell, lol) it makes me wanna see all the chapters find their HEA. I can’t wait to read more books. I made a list and I’m working thru it and as long as its on KU, I’m knocking those over. lol.

1 If this were my first Ember Davis book, there wouldn't be a second
2 Is this really an Ember Davis book?
I have read almost every single one of her books, and I have devoured almost every single one of those books too (they can't all be perfect all the time, but she certainly came close)
...and that is why I draw your attention back to point number 2
I am so disappointed.
There is Zero connection between Dean "Frenzy" and Scarlett.
Grief! Even the sexy times were all "Insert Part A into Slot B" and hope for the best!
The story had null substance to it! Null I tell you...it felt like I got the high level, cliff notes version...
Perhaps I downloaded the wrong book? I don't know, I mean, she didn't even take a second to fill us in on how Frenzy got his road name.
There was , however, this one fella in the club with the road name "hammer" she took a minute to explain his road name... But Frenzy? Nada
Billy? Poor, poor Billy! He's a prospect, meaning he has to be older than 18, right? I hope he never gets a book, because he will forever be branded in my brain as a soft cock 12 year old little boy, I 100% did not get any vibes that he had the trappings of a bad ass biker, that's for sure, she made him look so weak and pathetic, I was mortified for the poor guy!
... Kiki? Yeah, I dunno how that little scene held any value or served any purpose, it was just another 10 minutes of my life lost.
The brothers, though, they came completely out of left field...
I was like, "Wait! What? Did I skip a few pages somewhere?"
There was no build up to that! Sort of felt like we got to the point in the story where we needed to unmask the perpetrators, she wasn't quite sure whodunnit either, so we just chucked some unknown brothers at Scarlett and hoped for the best.
I feel like there was a very short deadline to get this book out there and, as such, not nearly enough effort was put into writing it.
I very seldom DNF a book, and never, for a second, would have guessed I would consider it on an Ember Davis book.
So, so bummed!

4.5⭐️ Another great book, with an obsessed MMC from Ember Davis! These mean take one look at their future woman and fall hard and fast. Dean and Scarlett I felt went even faster from their instalove to all in and steaming it up almost instantly. I loved how Dean was with her, dominant yet protective and tender at the same time. Scarlett was independent and so strong yet sassy with a heart of gold. I wasn’t a huge fan of all the internal talk of previously getting with club girls, or his brothers doing it in the present, but I also get the culture. He was all in from the moment he saw Scarlett, and even before that he was ready to settle down. The twist with the bakery vandals was really well done and heartbreaking at the same time. I really like the turn it took the storyline though, and how Dean continued to step up. No cheating or OM drama, slight OW drama but it was cleared up very fast, neither were virgins, dual POV, HEA, an epilogue in the future and a bonus epilogue that was steamy and adorable. Loving the men, and their women, of this MC and can’t wait to read Hammers story!
I love the DSMC series. Frenzy sees all his brothers falling in love and knows he’s ready to settle down. He gets sent on a mission to a bakery that’s having vandalism problems and meets Scarlett. He immediately knows she’s the one for him. I love how upfront he is about being there for her. He tries to not be too obvious with his friends but he knows she’s his.
Scarlett can’t believe she’s getting helped by random strangers let alone an MC. She’s a sweetheart and it’s always just been her and her mom who passed away. Being able to have her bakery in honor of her mom is what she’s always wanted so someone vandalizing it constantly is really getting to her.
I would not have expected who it was that was messing with her. At all lol did not see it coming. Her reaction when it all unfolds is so sweet. I really love the turn this story took. It flowed well and the characters interactions were funny, genuine and sweet. While it is part of a series this book can be read as standalone like the others and even if you want to read the series they don’t have to be read in order.

Devil's Valentine is part of the multi-authored Tangled in Temptation series and takes place in the Devil Saints MC, New Orleans world. It's a steamy, OTT, instalove, opposites-attract, curvy girl gets her biker Valentine's Day romance. Scarlett is a sweet and curvy bakery owner. Frenzy, aka Dean, is a burly, hunky member of the Devil Saints MC. When Scarlett's bakery is being vandalized, some of the old ladies from Devil Saints, who are friends and customers, notice she is down. The police have been no help, so the wives appeal to the MC to help their friend. Frenzy is the member that is sent to check out the bakery and make security recommendations. One look at Scarlett, and he knows she is the one for him. These two were so perfect together. Dean was just a big old teddy bear for Scarlett. The way he loved and protected her was everything. There are some twists I didn't see coming, but I loved this one so much. Their chemistry was off the charts hot, and the ending was so happy. I love the Devil Saints MC! I can't wait for Hammer's book!.

Scarlett is a local baker and owns a bakery that a lot of the old ladies of the Devil’s Saints MC frequent to get baked goods. Whey they find out that Scarlet is dealing with a series of vandalism incidents, they go back to the club and demand that the MC helps Scarlett. Frenzy is drawn to help Scarlett before he even meets her, and when he does meet her he knows without a doubt she is his.
I have loved each installment in the DSMC Series and their various chapters locations spin off’s What’s great about this book is that Scarlet doesn’t fight her feelings for long and you get right to the swoon and steam early in the book. Scarlet and Frenzy just get each other. Frenzy is a typical protective MC member and goes all out to protect his woman. He is determined to figure out who keeps targeting the bakery. The mystery of who was responsible for the vandalism leads to an unexpected twist that I really liked. Really cute novella that’s worth a read.

Really enjoyed this book! It isn't too long, only 173 pages, but a lot happens in that time. I couldn't put this down once I started, and ended up reading it in one night.

But when a sexy and charismatic biker called Frenzy aka Dean, shows up to help her, sparks fly between the pair. Can he protect her and her bakery? And when she finds out who is targeting her business, she is in for one he'll of a shock! Brilliant story with a swoonworthy HEA x.

Scarlett worked hard to make her dream a reality, Crescent Sugar Bakery, now someone is trying to destroy it. When some of her best customers ask what is going, she reluctantly tells them about the multiple beak ins. They are the old ladies of the Devil’s Saints MC, and will make sure their men do something.
Dean/Frenzy watches his brothers pair up one by one and he feels a little envious, looking forward to finding his special woman. He is assigned to help find out who is harassing the baker the old ladies love. What he does not expect is that cupid has shot his arrow the minute he walks into the bakery.
He will need to convince the curvy cutie that this is forever. I loved how Dean did not fight it at all, was all in on Scarlett.

Ember Davis delivers another captivating romance in Devil’s Valentine, a story filled with passion, intrigue, and undeniable chemistry. As always, Davis crafts compelling characters who pull you in from the very first page. The hero is intense and irresistibly alpha, while the heroine is strong, determined, and the perfect match for him.
The romance is both steamy and heartfelt, with just the right amount of tension and emotional depth to keep readers hooked. The Valentine’s Day theme adds a sweet and seductive touch, making this book perfect for fans of love stories with a little heat and a lot of heart.
If you love Ember Davis’s books, Devil’s Valentine won’t disappoint—it’s another must-read!.

Devil's Valentine by Ember Davis is part of the multi-author Tangled in Temptation series. I am just going to start off by saying that I adored this book. Scarlett and Frenzy both have cupid's arrow hitting the bulls-eyes and they ware swept into a romance in this story. Scarlett owns the Crescent Sugar Bakery, her baby and pride and joy. She has loved making her dream come true and had to work hard to get where she is. So when someone appears to be messing with her business you know this feisty woman is not about to take it laying down. That is when the "old ladies" of the Devil's Saints MC come riding in, well really they kick their husbands into gear as they love the bakery. It is Frenzy who is told to handle the problem. Along the way he falls immediately for Scarlett and from there the story and romance takes off.
When your nerves are fraying along with your safety...
.. only your soul mate can provide the feeling of home you crave. They may be big, growly bikers covered in tats and leather, but they are also protectors of all women and children, when those women and children are Old Ladies and family....all bets are off! I love that not only does Frenzy know the second he sees Scarlett, but the moment his brothers see him, they also know he has fallen and he has lost his heart. A heart he willingly hands over to his "Sugar" as he helps protect her bakery and unravel the mystery behind the attacks. A great addition to both the Tangled In Temptation series and the Devils Saints, I read this on Kindle Unlimited.
Ember blows me away everytime. I love everything about this book, bringing a little bit of the New Orleans DSMC into the tangled in temptation multi author series. Scarlett owns the bakery that's currently being targeted, a word with he DSMC o'ladies has them sending over Frenzy (aka Dean) to scope out the situation. Dean while happy with his current life, his club and seeing his chosen family growing. He knows he wants to find that same connection. And when he sets his eyes on Scarlett, he knows she's the one for him. If you enioy MC romance with alpha possessive MMCs, firey FMCs with a mind of their own, dual pov writing, spice, pure love, instalove, mild angst and HEAs Ember has the perfect story for you.
Love at first sight for Dean. Period. Scarlett wasn't too far behind. I liked this couple. They were solid. It was just working a relationship out in a normal way by communicating and showing up. Especially Dean. That was his super power in winning Scarlett over. Someone she could truly count on when it got rough for her. She also had a few good friends. For her part, Scarlett accepted Dean for exactly who he was. Never judged him for his club life.
An unexpected situation came into play for Scarlett, but they both handled it in such a wonderful way.
It was a sweet story and a sweeter end for them. I enjoyed it.

Cat’s Stats MMC/FMC- Frenzy and Scarlett Genre- MC Romance Length- novel Heat- they do the things and use the C word. Series? Y Safety? Y Triggers- vandalism, language, sex. Tropes- Instalove, Bakery-Bookstore-Or-Inn, Found Family, Dysfunctional Family FTW, I Know an Old Lady. What I liked- The Instalove was FAST. Like first look, and it was breathtaking. Frenzy was really romantic, too. And not just in the candles-and-rose-petals way (although there was some of that), but in the way he treated her, with adoration, respect, and support. What I didn’t- I now have a craving for macarons. dammit

This book is a part of the Tangled in Temptation series and focuses on Dean (Frenzy) and Scarlett. Scarlett is the owner of her dream bakery but she has been struggling with it being vandalized on multiple occasions. When the old ladies of the DSMC notice that something is going on with Scarlett, they get to the bottom of the issue and bring it up with the DSMC. Dean is sent to the bakery to check things out and instead of just finding a problem to fix, he finds the other half of his soul. Dean and Scarlett were perfect for each other and they handled what life gave them so well! I loved how the story ended up! This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

Scarlett’s new bakery keeps getting attacked and when the ladies from Devil’s Saints Motorcycle Club: New Orleans Chapter find out they send help in the form a hot biker. Frenzy knows she is his forever and will do anything to keep her safe.

Devil's Valentine is book 3 in the Tangled In Temptation series and my first read by this author. It's Scarlett and Frenzy's story. Scarlett is owner of Crescent Sugar Bakery and Frenzy is a member of the Devil's Saints MC. Their story is an insta love/lust story and it's as steamy as it is consuming. Problems at the bakery becomes a Club problem when the 'Ol ladies come to their husbands about some trouble Scarlett has been having. This is a fast-paced story with enough surprises, twists and turns to keep you flipping the pages to see what's next. Can't wait to check out books 1 & 2!
This book is part of a multi author series called Tangled in Temptation. I really liked this story. Frenzy " Dean" knew Scarlett was the one as soon as he saw her. Scarlett has been having issues with her bakery being vandalized and " old ladies" from the motorcycle club had the members step in to help. Scarlett is a hard worker, sweet, sassy, strong, and kind hearted. Frenzy is protective of his woman which is so sweet. Loved the whole story. Minor OW drama from a club angel.

I have been a fan of Ember Davis for a while now so I knew this was going to be a good book - I wasn’t wrong. I already love the Devil’s Saints MC and the men and women that belong to the club. These men fall hard and fast. Frenzy is no different. Scarlett is absolutely sweet and the perfect addition to this big family. Of course, there is mischief afoot and wow! What a plot twist that is. This one is super sweet and steamy and I can’t wait to get more from this club (any and all of the chapters)!.

This is an insta love and in this case insta sex too! It’s a safe, romantic and sexy book I love when one book leads to another and another and you wait for them!
What I don’t like it’s the way in her MC books the author gives a harsh portrait about the future MMC , when their books arrive they are not like she described and new readers might be uncomfortable…. I know she is a safe author but sometimes for a new readers reading about these future characters can be not very interesting in the future
Scarlett’s bakery has been targeted and vandalized by someone and she has no friggin’ idea why. Frenzy aka Dean gets sent to watch over her and assess the security needs but gets struck by Cupid the moment he sees her. Their love is fast and sooo steamy. Finding the vandals took an unexpected turn and I love it!! So sweet and spicy! This is a love story that hits all the right notes. Another beautiful story from the DSMC universe that you won’t want to put down.

Scarlett (aka Sugar) and Dean (aka Frenzy) feel the insta attraction buzz when he turns up at her bakery to investigate vandalism. The passion increases. When the perpetrators of said vandalism are caught be prepared for SHOCK and plenty of tears. This tale is full of passion, friendships, surprises, lots of baking, sweet treats, more spice, love and family HEA and no cheating.

Scarlett is the owner of the Crescent Sugar Bakery. Frenzy aka Dean is a member of the Devils Saint's MC. Tropes: MC, opposites attract, curvy woman, baker heroine, damsel in distress, found family, jealous/possessive hero, OTT instalove HEA romance.
A huge thank you to Ember Davis and Booksprout for providing me with an eARC book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
OMGoodness! I loved this book sooooo much! First of all, I have loved all of the DSMC series, and I feel like each one I read is my new favorite. But Frenzy and Scarlett are swoon-worthy couple goals. And the added storyline towards the end (No spoilers from me! Sorry, not sorry) gave me ALL the warm fuzzies. Read this book.
