Oh my goodness!! What a great start to a new MC series by this author. I think I have gone through every emotion whilst reading this!
I do not even know where to start with my review in fear of giving out spoilers and I most definitely don’t do that!!
Stormy is one hell of a woman and has been through so much! Titan is a man on a mission! And nobody is going to stop him from getting what he wants.
Sweet lord! The twists and turns had my heart pounding!!
You all need to add this to your tbr!!

“President’s Poison” delivers a gripping and emotional journey set in the world of motorcycle clubs, centering on Titan (Atlas), president of the Dragon Defiance MC Alaska, and Poison (Stormy) of Devil’s Handmaiden MC. The novel wastes no time plunging readers into a harrowing tale of kidnapping and human trafficking, with Stormy enduring unimaginable trials at the hands of her captors (only implied, not in detail). Her eventual escape—with the help of courageous Maisy—comes at a high cost, leaving Stormy physically and emotionally scarred. Fearing for her family’s safety due to threats from her captors, Stormy makes the heartbreaking decision to keep her distance.
Parallel to Stormy’s ordeal, Atlas’s relentless search for her adds a layer of suspense and heartache. His determination is palpable, and when he finally locates Stormy in the hospital, the relief is short-lived—she disappears once again, underscoring the story’s tension and unpredictability. The romance between the protagonists is handled with sensitivity, woven into a gritty, realistic narrative that doesn’t shy away from darkness but also highlights hope and resilience.
Compelling side stories—particularly involving Maisy (setting the stage for the next installment)—add depth and anticipation. The fast-paced plot, raw emotion, and authentic MC atmosphere make “President’s Poison” a standout start to a new series. With non-stop action and layered characters, this novel is nearly impossible to put down—I finished it in one sitting and am eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this world.

This is the first book in E.M. Shue's new MC series Drago Defiance Alaska Chapter and I would also say with a deep connection to the Devils Handmaidens series. This is the story of Atlas and Stormy.
We start with an explosion that frees Stormy from her chains and puts her on the path to Atlas/Titan who has never given up the search for her abduction. With his connections and hacker ability, he laid the foundation to protect her. Stormy is still in survival mode and doesn't trust her safety and the safety of her family to anybody but herself. She finally realizes how much Atlas has sacrificed to protect her and how much he loves her.
E.M. Shue was able to pack so much into this short read that I feel like I read a long novel. This book has everything you could want and then some. She leaves a few plot threads hanging, but I'm betting we'll get answers in future books.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Writing flows smoothly, and this is definitely a page-turner from the start.
I really liked the main characters, Stormy and Atlas. Stormy has been through hell and is still healing, but her priority remains keeping her family safe—even if that means staying away to avoid putting them in danger. Atlas, a brilliant hacker, is also a member of the MC, and he hasn’t stopped searching for Stormy since the moment she was taken.
Although the majority of the book they are apart, once they reconnect the chemistry is absolutely there.
Where the story faltered a bit for me was in the number of names and side characters being introduced so quickly—it became a little convoluted. I also felt that Atlas’s role, skills, and his true connection to Stormy weren’t explained clearly early on, which caused some confusion.
There’s no doubt E.M. Shue can write; I just felt too many names were packed into too few pages.
That being said, I’ll definitely be reading the next book.
Thank you to the author for the ARC!

An all new MC chapter that starts off with a bang. The storyline was perfection and the characters were incredible. I loved that the heroine in this book was tough as nails. And I liked that the MMC was all alpha male. Loved the age gap tension too. The side characters were really good too. I liked the way that this story was told, how everything unfolded, and came together. There’s even some surprises in this that I didn't see coming. This is a gripping page turner dark MC romance. I read it in one sitting and couldn't get enough of it. I definitely would recommend reading this. And I look forward to more of the series.
Thank to the author for an advance copy. My opinions are my own and freely expressed.

President’s Poison is the first book in the Drago Defiance MC Alaska series written by the talented author E.M. Shue. This is Titan, President of the Drago Defiance MC Alaska and Poison, a tough leading lady from the Devil’s Handmaiden MC in an explosive dark MC romance story. So many twists and turns that you are riveted to the pages. Atlas & Stormy an intense alpha male, age-gap tension, and tortured soul vibes that will leave you wanting more. A great beginning to a new series. Addictive read that kept me hooked from start to finish. If you love protective heroes, emotional turmoil, and a story that keeps you guessing, this one’s for you!

Page turner that sucks you in from the first chapter. Stormy "Poison" is a strong FMC who puts others safety before her desire to be with family. Titan is a MMC determined to get his woman. I liked that all the females in the book were strong characters and that the men didn't have a problem letting them lead when necessary. There was no waiting around for a man to come save them.
Reading a book with a woman in an all female MC is refreshing. I can't wait for the next book in this series. While waiting I'll be going back and reading the Devil's Handmaidens MC books. That's where Poison's character was introduced. I strongly recommend this book.

President’s Poison is EM Shue’s first book in her new series, the Drago Defiance MC, Alaska Chapter. And, man o man, it did not disappoint!
It’s a gritty plot with MC’s, secret government ‘agents’, traffickers and survivors. I was pulled in from the jump (pun intended) and kept on the edge of my seat. From the moment Poison escapes her tormentors to the moment she and Titan are reunited (and later married), the story does not let up.
It’s a relentless, incredible ride!

Great book. This is my first thing reading this author, and I thought this one was great. I loved the characters, the story itself. This has my in the edge of my seat through its entirety. It was pretty intense with all the twists and turns. Chaos and action. The FMC was such a strong character, determined to keep going despite what she’d been put through. She stood out the most for me in this story because I love a strong FMC that’s not about to let anyway slow her down or get in the way of her moving forward in life. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I was sucked in from the beginning! What a page turner! Dark MC romance/tough heroine/alpha male/age-gap. What more could you ask for.
Titan “Atlas” is President of the Dragon Defiance MC Alaska. Poison “Stormy” is part of the Devil’s Handmaiden MC. Poison has been through it-from being kidnapped to awful things being done to her to trying to escape an evil man. The one time she tries to escape, she is rescue by Maisey. Maisey is her lifesaver and together they seem to get along very well. Poison feels in order to keep her family safe, she needs to stay away from them. While in the hospital, Atlas comes along, but she doesn’t tell him she’s the one he’s looking for. He has a gut feeling it’s her, but doesn’t reveal that. His mission is to find his Stormy and make her his. It’s like he knew the day she was kidnapped and he was shot, she was his. Will Atlas be able to convince Poison he will protect her? I mean the chemistry between the two is off the charts! Will Posion ever be safe from harm and return to her family? Wait til you find out!

Gritty storyline that had me on the edge of my seat. Stormy has endured so much abuse but is a survivor. With Maisy's help she recovers but is still running from her abuser. Atlas has been looking for Stormy since she was taken and he was shot. Amazing storyline about coming out on the other side changed but loved by the people around you.

Poison takes her chance to escape her captors and is on the run with the help of Maisy, but to keep her family safe she refuses to go home. Titan has been searching for her and eventually he and the club find her.
A great start to a new series, plenty of twists, turns, action and danger with other characters keeping their histories hidden. I’m looking forward to the next book.

It’s amazing how much this author can create in a relatively short book, the emotions, the intensity and the action. Stormy is one strong woman and has been through so much. Titan never gives up. There are loads of little tidbits revealed in this new series and it will be an amazing ride going forward to follow along and see where it all ends up. “I promise my life to you.”
November 26, 2025
This is a fast paced story from the beginning. It is an age gap that is full of action, twist, turns, suspense, tension, kidnapping, human trafficking. Stormy was kidnapped and put through the wringer. She escaped with the help of Maisey. Poison “Atlas” is the M.C. President that has been looking for Stormy since she was kidnapped. This is a great start to a new MC chapter.
November 26, 2025
absolutely loved this new Mc book. stormy has been through he$$ and when she can make her escape will she survive? Atlas won't give up looking for stormy but can he find her and convince her that his love for her will be enough to protect her or will she run for the rest of her life?

Poison was kidnapped and drives to get away . Titan has been looking for her and is a member of a group that takes down sex trafficking . The author has an action packed story with a plot that is different than I have read before with a carefully written plot and detailed story !

This one took me a little longer than I would’ve liked, but I absolutely loved it. The action and adventure on every page was definitely worth it. I do wish there was a bit more to the story, but I also understand having to separate everything into different couple stories.
