Kaylie is just out of high school when she notices someone following her. She's used to it though. Wherever she's gone for the past two years, she could hear it: the sound of a purring motorcycle behind her. It wasn't always the same guy, but she knew they were always there for him.
Devlin McRae.
He was the head of the local MC club and as dangerous as a rattlesnake. At least that's what people said. She'd waited on him at the diner she worked at over the years and he'd always been polite and tipped extremely well. He was gorgeous too, tall, built and blond with boyish good looks. She hadn't minded a bit when she'd felt his eyes following her around the restaurant.
But being followed all the time like this was disconcerting. And lately, the bikes had been getting closer, less secretive, more obvious. What would she do if Devlin ever caught her?
Janet's a good girl from the right side of town with promising career as a ballerina, until it all comes crashing down with an injury. Now she's running wild, flunking out of school and dancing on table tops. When she gets back into town her best friend Kaylie brings her to the local MC Club House. There's one guy there that unnerves Janet with his solemn dark eyes. In fact, she's got the feeling that he sees right through her.
Jack is a dangerous man with a dark past. He's been on his own since he was 14 years old and he has the scars to prove it. Nicknamed The Viking, he's bigger and meaner than almost anyone in the Club. He gives Devlin and the Spawn's his absolute loyalty but nothing else. He doesn't need anyone or anything and that's the way he likes it. Until he meets Janet. The feisty little red head gets under his skin, no matter how hard he tries to push her away. When Janet winds up in the clutches of an underground prostitution ring, Jack has to decide how far he's willing to go to save her. If he succeeds, he knows she could be the one who will save him from his demons.
Long time Devil's Rider Donnie always has something funny to say. That doesn't mean he hasn't seen his share of heartbreak. With sparkling eyes and a ready wit, he oozes charm and could have his pick of the ladies. But he never sticks around for long.
Sally might just be a waitress at Mae's diner, but she's got secrets. A talented country singer and songwriter, she had to abandon her career to escape her abusive ex. She's determined to stay out of the spotlight and as far away from Donnie as she can. She knows better than to trust a biker, even though his teasing smile sends shivers through her body.
When her ex tracks her down, Sally has to decide who to trust... And who she can trust with her heart.

I'm on holiday at the moment and the first book in this series has been sitting on my kindle for months now so without checking any reviews (very unusual for me and as always I regretted it) I started reading.
This, the first book ended abruptly but their story continues in the following books.
Devlin is the president of the local MC, he's in his mid-twenties and could have any woman he wants but he's fallen in love with sixteen year old Kaylie. For two long years he's waited for her. Here's my first issue, has he actually waited? He's certainly not been celibate and while you could argue they're not together he's made his mind up she's going to be his to the extent where he's warned everyone else off, so none of the boys in school will even look at her. She's kept pure and untouched for him while he's still working his work through club girls. Hardly seems fair.
Plus he's won her mother over, he's good looking and Kaylie falls for him instantly but what if she hadn't?
Now despite its faults I was actually enjoying this as a quick holiday read but I want impressed when it ended like it did in the middle of their story but like I say it continues on.
Still Waters - 3*
Having been disappointed with the previous book Wanted by the Devil no one was more surprised than me when I decided to continue on and read this one.
Janet is a friend of Kaylie's who finds herself back in town and very attracted to the 6 foot 4 inch man known as Viking. Viking or Jack is a huge man of few words, he drinks ginger ale and watches and protects his club, it's all he's got in his life and it's all he feels he deserves. As we get to know Jack we realise he deserves everything and he wants Janet as much if not more than she wants him.
I really liked Jack and Janet was okay just not that bright.
Trust the Devil - 2.5*
The reviews for this book were so good after reading the previous two I decided to give this a go especially since I'd liked Donnie in the previous two.
While I liked both Donnie and Sally I have to be honest and say this book didn't really work for me. There was far too much repetition and I found myself more annoyed than anything.
Judging from the reviews it's definitely case of it's me not the book.
Wanted By The Devil: Kaylie was just so sweet and innocent you couldn't help but love her, "I'm sorry… I've never… been with anyone else." He just stared at her, the look in his eyes making her shiver. "Did I do something wrong? Maybe you don't want to be with someone as inexperienced as me." Devlin surprised me yes he was rough and tough but he was really sweet and caring when it came to his old lady. I liked this book it was a quick and enjoyable read. Still Waters: Jack's body reactions to Janet were entertaining, they'd happen at the worst time, "Jesus, he hadn't had this many boners since he was 15. He didn't like it. It was disconcerting for someone like him who liked to be in control. He scowled and adjusted his package in his jeans." Jack appreciates his woman's assets, "Janet was wearing shorts today. Tight little denim shorts that hugged her hips and a**. And Jesus, what an a**." Jack was my type of man he was moody, arrogant, silent, bossy and alpha. Safe In His Arms: You could tell Sally had Donnie's balls in the palm of her hands and that's with their first few meetings, "so, do you want a beer?" She nodded shyly and he smiled, feeling much more at ease. A beer. He could get her a beer." Sometimes Donnie's woman has to keep her man focused: "Donnie-" "Not yet." "Donnie-" "Not yet." "Donnie. Take your pants off." He lifted his head and stared at her, his eyes dark with passion. There's some coaxing involved when it comes to getting his woman on his bike while she has coffee, "I'll get a coffee maker." She clutched her coffee cup even tighter . He sighed. She was too cute. "I'll get it today." Donnie is my favorite out of these men there was something about him that made him entertaining.
Wonderfully fantastic... The book set was amazing... It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to them... The characters and their personalities match them perfectly... The plots and the storylines was very descriptive and amazing...I would recommend this Boxset to anyone!!

Devlin is head of the local mc club & has been waiting for Kaylie to turn 18 since meeting her in the cafe his younger brother raved about. Kaylie never knew that the young boy she treated to an extra scope of ice cream when he visited was Devlins little brother.
2. Ride with the devil
3 1/2* Janet is Kaylie best friend so tags along to the mc club where she meets the brooding Viking (jack). Jack can’t believe how gorgeous Kaylie’s friend is Red but she looks like trouble he needs to focus & avoid her, will it work?
3. Trust the devil
3 1/2*
Pheonyx (sally) has ran from her previous life she was a singer but ran from her abusive ex. Clint (Donahue) is hooked on the waitress at mae’s he’s watched her & needs to get her out of his system however the need to protect & have her is strong.
Wonderful first tour books in the series. These books have a great balance between the romance and the MC elements.
**Wanted by The Devil** I loved Devlin (Devil) from when he was first introduced until the last pages. While he is the Pres of his MC, he is an over protective teddy bear when it comes to Kaylie. This is a well written story with just enough conflict.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
I love this series. If you love MC Alpha bikers and their feisty women this series is for you. This box-set contains the first 4 books in the series. I love the first story the best. Its a little conventional but I loved the romance between Devlin and Kaylie. All the stories tie into each other and the characters you begin to fall in love make appearances in all the stories.

Kaylie is freshly graduated from high school and notices that the resounding motorcycle engines are getting closer than they’ve been for the past two years especially when she is out on her own.
She realises that she is being followed. Yet again, it seems routine since for the past two years she’s heard the quiet roar closeby.
It isn’t always the same person but she realises it’s because of Devlin the President of the local MC club.
She's served him at the diner over the years and he's always been polite and tipped her generously. He’s also easy on the eyes. Tall, blond and built with boyish good looks.
Until one night he offers her a ride home and takes the long way. Her mother seems to trust him...since he’s been slowly ingratiating himself with her mother to pave the way with Kaylie for him.
He plans to slowly induct her into his world.
Devlin (Dev) is the President of SOS, Sons Of Satan MC. The inner sanctum members refer to themselves as The Devil’s Riders. He lost his Mum and younger brother in a tragic accident and Kaylie is a waitress at the local diner, she usually served his younger brother an extra scoop of ice cream.
He realises that she is too young for him and continues to watch over her from a distance waiting for her to grow up, in the interim dissuading potential beaus...to redirect their attention.
He knows that she is still in high school and approaches her mother to get permission to court her once she turns 18. Her mother recognises that he has good intentions and would be an ally.
He never expects to fall in love.
