When Elizabeth and Diablo are forced into a closet together during a game of Truth or Dare, everything changes. A long-simmering attraction between them comes to the surface, and neither can stop thinking about the other. As they confront their growing feelings, they must also keep their relationship a secret. But that’s not the only secret they’re hiding—and the truth could tear everything apart.

It absolutely blows my mind that this will be Salli's first published book because it was so well written. I devoured this book and could not put it down. The plot was so well written, and flowed so well through the entirety of the story. I LOVED the way that the dual POVs were written and how they often flowed into one another when they switched - it gave the story a more cohesive feel to it. The conflicts and the secrets unraveled so well, and added exactly what was needed to the story.

I personally related to Elizabeth's character in a lot of ways, and I think that is why I was rooting for her so hard. I also really enjoyed Diablo's character- and the way that they were both able to learn to trust again through each other and their relationship. Can we also take a moment for the spice?? IT WAS SO WELL DONE. Not only were the scenes perfectly steamy but they also played so well into the story and how the plot, and Elizabeth and Diablo's relationship, progressed. The side characters were also well done- I really like Sophia and Slim.

Overall, I highly recommend this and I cannot wait to see what's to come in future books with these characters.

Firstly I’d like to say thank you to Salli for allowing me an ARC of Where My Loyalty Lies.

I was HOOKED from the first page of this book! It’s safe to say I did not like Diablo in the first chapter but boy did that change!! I love how fast paced it is, which isn’t normally my thing. As a curvy girl I was so happy to have some representation in a book too. One that shows a man actually loving her body the way it deserves to be loved, it made me so happy. ALSO….a book where the FMC has her period!!!! That made me happier than anything. It seems most authors choose to ignore the fact that it happens, I’m guessing mainly because it’s not sexy but it is REAL! And the way it’s written & used as part of the story lit me up! Where My Loyalty Lies is a first person dual POV with open door spice that will light your soul up! I honestly cannot believe this is Salli’s first book. It’s amazing, so well written & will keep you hooked throughout. I love Diablo & Elizabeth’s story, I honestly think you will too!

I had such a great time with Elizabeth and Diablo!
If you can picture Rio from Good Girls saying „Get in the car Elizabeth“ and get a little excited…. then you NEEEEEED to read this book.

Definitely a rollercoaster with these two.
I love Elizabeth’s independence and assurance of herself. She definitely had to be with what we learn from her. I wish I was as strong as her. And, we all need to find someone to have those soft and vulnerable moments with and it doesn’t take away from anything.
Diablo is a part of a pretty strict biker club, and he is just trying to do right by the club and their rules no matter how outdated they are, but he forgets it’s not all about the club sometimes you have to shift focus on things outside the club.

I love their stories and background as well as their growth together and separately. I was really curious to see if there would be a conflict and wow, I was not expecting that. But I love the inclusivity and perspective in that situation. I was of course so sad that it went down the way it did. I was also incredibly mad and put off at a certain person and mad at the author for letting me love them first. 😩

Please pick up this book if you love biker gangs, strong FMC, LGBTQIA+ representation of a side character, and smut that is smutting (the spicy scenes are chefs kiss!).

Salli Cravens thank you so much for this ARC your book. I love it and you almost had me feeling feelings out in the in public. Idk if I it forgive that;)

Just finished this ARC and wow I couldn’t put it down! Diablo & Elizabeth were perfection 😍 Enemies to lovers ✔️ Best friend’s brother ✔️ He falls first ✔️ Their chemistry was fire from the start. I loved how real and easy to connect with the characters were (and the spice was 🔥🔥). Diablo had my heart a tough guy who only goes soft for his girl, showing up for Beth every time. Plus all the side characters were amazing too!

It's not a dark romance, it's not a demon romance and I fucking loved it!

Diablo and Elizabeth, a grumpy biker and a sweet student girl, total opposites, who fall in love. They're figuring their feelings while fighting against all odds.

I loved the dialogues in this book, especially between the two main characters. So witty and sharp. And the spicy scenes were so hot! I've read this book with my heart open and it filled me with the most intense feelings. I just love this story ❤️

This was my first true motorcycle club romance, and let me just say… I GET IT NOW.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter—Elizabeth and Diablo’s chemistry? Off the charts. The banter was bantering, the spice was spicing, and the dual POV (my forever fave) made it all hit even harder.

Diablo is your classic broody, tattooed, fiercely loyal MMC, and Elizabeth? She’s smart, stubborn, and unapologetically herself. Their dynamic gave me everything I needed—and the strong family vibes within the club added a perfect layer of heart.

Releasing August 1st, this spicy, emotional, best friend’s brother romance is one to add to your summer TBR, especially if you’re new to MC romances like I was.

This book has lots of spicy scenes.
Should I end the review here?

Where my Loyalty Lies by Salli Cravens is an opposites attract, best friend’s brother, spicy, MC romance.

Elizabeth and Diablo don’t always get along but when a drunken game of truth or dare sees them sharing a kiss in a storage cupboard they can no longer fight the attraction between them.

This book is funny, emotional, spicy and has a good plot. I enjoyed it and will definitely read the next book in the series.

4/5 ⭐️
3.5/5 🌶️ (lots of scenes but nothing too “technical”)

Debut!!! I have followed this author on Instagram for a while now and seeing the dedication and commitment has been so wholesome! I’m incredibly proud and honoured to have had the opportunity to read this.

We’re introduced to Elizabeth, our independent, fiery, and determined FMC who wishes to do things on her own terms. But when a game of Truth or Dare lands her in a supply closet with Diablo, her best friend’s older brother and the last person she wants to be stuck with, her world flips upside down. Diablo is closed off, fiercely loyal to his club and family, and hiding a part of himself from the world. Elizabeth is supposed to help him keep his secret. But close proximity and unresolved tension start to blur all the lines…


This debut had everything I didn’t realise I needed: heartfelt moments, laugh-out-loud awkward encounters, and a chemistry that practically sparked off the page. I found it really entertaining from start to finish… so wholesome and cute in all the best ways. It was such a cosy read, perfect for curling up with when you need a little escape. I especially loved the spicy scenes; they added a really fun element to the emotional beats of the story.


Honestly, I’m so proud of the author for this first book. It’s full of heart, warmth, and charm, and I’m already excited to see what she writes next. If you’re after a feel good romance with a touch of mischief and lots of heart, this book is definitely one to pick up!

After reading the first prologue of this book that introduced us to Diablo (or Angel as is his actual name and becomes more used later in the book; I will refer to him as this for the rest of this review), I was curious as to which direction the author was going to take with him moving forward: arrogant player or a misunderstood gem.

Following this introduction though, I wasn’t expecting Angel to be such a considerate sweetheart, especially after not having been in a relationship before. I probably had hearts in my eyes when I was reading all the cute things he did or said, and when he became the ‘period whisperer’ *sigh* well, I fell for him right then and there.

Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before something went wrong, and I was dreading when Angel would make a serious error in judgment – because after he was doing so well, it was bound to be him who made a mess of things!

Elizabeth’s character is easy to love, and despite – or because of – her sad past, she’s grown into a strong, kind and feisty 21-year-old redhead who doesn’t take c**p from anybody. She’s a shining star in this book, and it’s so wonderful that she stands up for what’s right, despite any potential consequences to her heart (and mine!). I loved that she’s pretty comfortable in her own skin and is totally open about her past exploits.

The chemistry between Elizabeth and Angel is pretty off the charts, and even a silly dare for them to share a kiss in a cupboard turns into a steamy make-out session, let alone the heat that comes off them during the ‘proper’ spicy scenes. Here’s a little teaser to get your imagination going:
“I know you like to treat me like your perfect little princess. And you like it when I’m a good girl for you, doing exactly what you tell me, when you tell me to. But I’m my own woman. I’m independent.” (Elizabeth)

I got so invested in these two characters that I was rather distraught when things kicked off, even though I thought I’d mentally prepared myself for it. I knew that Angel had some issues to deal with though, and this aspect of the storyline gave him the opportunity to do it. I was thrilled that he fixed things in spectacular fashion, proving that he deserved all that adoration I had for him.

This is the debut novel for this author, and what a fantastic start to the series! I really enjoyed the writing in this book, and I got really caught up in the storyline. I loved that there's sometimes little crossovers between the two narrators so you can experience things from the other one's point of view too.

And I couldn’t finish the review without mentioning the supporting characters, because the story wouldn’t have been the same without them: Angel’s wonderful mum and stepdad; the fabulous MC club members – El Jefe, Tipo, Walrus, Tank, Pretty Boy and Slim (whose quiet kindness made him my favourite of the group, not including Angel) – who were the supportive and caring found family that both Elizabeth and Angel needed; and also Donovan, Angel’s brother and Elizabeth’s best friend. Donovan is another stand-out character for me, and he has a significant presence in the book even when he wasn’t on page; like Angel, I have a massive soft spot for him and so I was delighted to see that the next book is going to include him. Donovan, you gorgeous boy, I can’t wait!

This is an enjoyable, easy read which is perfect for anyone new to MC romance or looking for something more lighthearted within the subgenre. The plot is low angst, focusing mostly on the spicy, secret budding romance between Elizabeth and Angel. While there’s a bit of club drama in the background to add some tension, the heart of the story is all about the connection between the two main characters. It’s fast-paced and matches the tone of their relationship perfectly.

What begins with a bit of a misunderstanding and some “enemies” energy quickly turns into a steamy, emotional journey between Elizabeth and Angel, sparked by a bold game of truth or dare. Elizabeth is a vibrant, open-hearted college student who’s loyal to her friends and refuses to let people get close. Angel, on the other hand, is your classic broody, protective biker with zero dating experience and a secret soft side. Their chemistry is undeniable, and as their relationship deepens, it brings out the best in both of them. Elizabeth learns to accept help and discovers the strength and support of a true “found family,” while Angel opens up, learns to communicate, and eventually embraces love—with serious bonus points for becoming the period whisperer.

The spice is definitely open door, though not overly graphic in description. It's just enough to keep things spicy without going full-on explicit. And let’s be honest, this couple loves to get it on. It’s a spicy, fun read that really captures that early-20s energy of being constantly horny for each other in the best way. I especially loved reading about Angel learn as he goes—his inexperience with oral might just be my new favorite microtrope. His POVs were such a delight, and it was genuinely enjoyable to see how much he adored every moment with Beth.

If I had one small (and totally unserious) critique? A missed opportunity for motorcycle sex. With all that motorcycle riding, and chemistry, it felt like it was just begging for that scene!

It might seem like a small detail, but this story really highlights the kind of romance I’d love to see more of. It felt refreshingly real in how it portrayed modern dating and hookup culture—two twenty-somethings coming together with undeniable chemistry and mutual respect. Both characters are sexually experienced, and what really stood out to me was their open, mature conversations about birth control and getting tested. It’s such a niche thing to call out, but honestly, I’m tired of reading romances where women are overly inexperienced or where sexual health is brushed aside. This book handled those topics in a way that felt natural, responsible, and shame-free, and I really appreciated that.

For a debut story, Salli Cravens nailed it! If you’re into MC romance or just looking for an easy, spicy read with a modern dating vibe, definitely add this one to your TBR. It features an adoring (and just the right amount of possessive) male lead, a relatable female character, and a romance that’s equal parts sweet and spicy. Can’t wait to see what she writes next!

I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review - all opinions are my own.

Overall, I gave this book 3.5 stars - it's spicy and addictive once you get into it! I loved the romance between Diablo and Elizabeth. It's sweet and cosy and a little bit corny in all the best ways. And the spice is DELICIOUS. Spicy scenes always have the potential to get cringe, but they're so good here, so natural. I'd probably give this 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - there's a big quantity of spicy scenes, but other than a little light spanking in one of them there's nothing particularly hardcore.


I loved that we have a realistic curvy FMC. Lots of authors aim for body positivity but land on fatpbobia - Salli Cravens is setting the damn example. Beth is plus sized and confident in herself & her body, but still deals with a little insecurity now and then. Her size is not her defining characteristic, and Diablo loves her body exactly as it is. 


I also loved seeing representation of Latino and LGBTQIA+ characters! They're not written stereotypically, which is so refreshing.


The only thing that let it down for me was the depiction of bikers. I don't know if there's a big cultural difference at play here since I'm from the UK, but I grew up around bikers & bikes. My fiancé is a biker, a trained bike mechanic, I ride myself. I'm familiar with it all and so the inaccuracies really yanked me out of the story.


There are scenes where Diablo lets Beth get on his bike in a miniskirt - no gloves, no proper boots, no jacket. No self respecting biker would let anyone ride pillion, let alone their girl, without proper kit on. Even the helmet he has her wear is a spare, not one that has been sized correctly for her.


I would have loved more description of the bikes themselves and how Beth feels on Diablo's bike. How it moves beneath her, how intimate it can feel to be so in sync with your partner going through turns, the noises as they go through tunnels. Riding is such an immersive experience, and it's like experiencing it all over again for the first time every time you get on.


It's also mentioned that Diablo has a bike box, but Beth was holding onto the back bars before she got comfortable holding onto him. Firstly, back boxes are almost never used on anything but scooters these days, and secondly a back box would make the back bars unreachable on like 99% of bikes. 


Honestly, these are minor gripes, and perhaps not as jarring for somebody with little to no exposure of the biking world, but for me they just kept pulling me out of the story and are the main reason for me giving it 3.5 stars. The other reason is it felt a little bit like it was aiming for enemies to lovers vibes but came across almost more like instalove. I like my romance with a painful slowburn! But overall this was a good read and I'd be interested in checking out other books in the universe 🖤


PS. I'm low-key fuming that at no point did Diablo call Beth "Princessa" because I would have simply melted 😂

ARC Provided in exchange for honest review.

This is the love story of Diablo, a notorious hard guy who is involved with Lobos Aulladores, a local Motorcycle Club and Elizabeth, his younger brother's best friend. A game of truth or dare sees them kissing in a closet, and in secret, sparks fly. But a big secret threatens their happiness - will their relationship survive?

This is a tender love story, an unlikely pairing who fall head over heels for each other. Diablo is, to all intents and purposes, incapable of caring about a woman - his focus is on his brothers in the MC. Elizabeth is studying at college, and focused on paying off her parents' debt. But together they make a wonderful partnership, soft and warm and incredibly spicy. I absolutely love the body positivity rep in this story, with Elizabeth being a bigger girl who is proud of her body, and Diablo worships her like the Queen she is. I also love the queer rep, and the demonstration of ingrained homophobia and how it can be overcome. The dual POV works well, and I liked the overlap in scenes, allowing for a cute insight into each character's reaction to the other, particularly where there is potential for misunderstandings.

This is a great debut novel with a lot of heart, and a LOT of spice. I'm looking forward to the next instalment!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this book!

As this is Salli’s debut novel, this is my intro to them as a writer and I don’t even know where to start. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to read this book. All of the characters stand out no matter if they are the MCs or the side characters. You love them all because Salli makes sure they have presence. And then you have the MCs who seem so simple at first but are so complex and nuanced, and they both have such great character growth you just cheer for them the whole time. I literally was giggling and kicking my feet throughout this entire book.

This book is full of classic tropes found in contemporary romance, and Salli takes such care to make these situations and discussions relatable and up to date so that it feels like you’re experiencing this firsthand instead of reading it.

But what I really, REALLY want to give Salli their flowers for is the way they’re able to take moments that are supposed to be sad and frustrating and making them empowering and satisfying. Moments I never thought I would appreciate in a book, turned into avenues for growth. Salli is a talented storyteller, and I’m so excited to continue reading this series and whatever else Salli has to offer the book Community!

I have been loving MC books and this was no different . There’s just something about biker clubs that hit a little different. Especially when we mix some other cultures and languages into it as well . I loved hearing all the Spanish nicknames and slang, feeling like my culture is appreciated is always a win.

We have a secret blossoming relationship between Diablo and Elizabeth who eventually will make you swoon, but it’s a work up . As the title states , you have to choose where your loyalties lay . Things aren’t always black and white and sometimes we make the wrong call, even if it’s against our loved ones.

Let’s just say Angel isn’t always an angel if you catch my drift , there’s a reason he goes by diablo. It’ll take a lot of groveling to get him back from the dog house with Beth and his choices. Generational traditions and rules tend to be difficult to brush off and ignore but we shouldn’t let things like that destroy our relationships .

Stick around to the end and maybe you’ll understand why falling for the villain is always a little more fun . As a safe bet always check your triggers .

Where my loyalty lies by @sallicravensauthor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for the ARC opportunity @sallicravensauthor - I am obsessed, I can’t wait for book 2.

This is @sallicravensauthor debut novel and it’s amazing. It’s so well written, the world that Salli has written is brilliant and I am totally invested.

All the characters are brilliant. They are all really likeable even when they are making some questionable choices (looking at you Diablo). Diablo as the MMC, secret golden retriever but trying his best to juggle keeping his family happy, clearly obsessed with Beth, the FMC, and a member of a MC club.

I loved Beth as the FMC. Plus sized and proud and it’s great to see body positivity represented. She is incredibly relatable and I will be channeling my inner Beth in life.

Salli covers some tough topics in this book including parental death and coming out to family members and has discussed them with sensitivity.

Absolutely loved this book! Now is the time to read it so you can be ready for book 2.

For transparency, I read this as an ARC reader.

I loved it and thought this book was a lot of fun. It’s a light read, perfect for a weekend vacation where you just want to unwind, relax, and watch two hot people fall in love *cough* peel the clothes off each other. I’m such a Taco Bell girly, I had to come to terms with the main man being named Diablo, because it’s my go to sauce. Once I was past that, it was a wild ride (yes, this is a motorcycle joke 🏍️)

This book checked the box on tropes for me with some of my favs: enemies to lovers, fluff 🥰, and an honorable smut rating 😈 with a leading man who is absolutely feral for his lady. We love the Diablo sauce for a reason 😜

I can’t wait to see more from this author. It definitely left me wanting more from this universe - Alejandro in particular I am keeping an eye on for potential reprises 👀 (don’t judge me, there’s a line in there where I can see the POTENTIAL 🕯️- I can make him WORSE)

All and all, I’ll be keeping an eye out for the next installment!

This is a roller-coaster of a ride.
When Donovan meets Beth in college the two becomes fast friends. Everyone at his brother's motorcycle club assuming she's his girlfriend and in turn helping him hide the fact that he's gay is just a bonus. Everyone loves her and that just makes things even better. The only one who doesn't is Diablo. Donovan's older brother just can't stand her and doesn't believe for a second that this " stuck up princess prude" would ever date his brother and he's out to protect him. When tensions rise something must break. This ennemies to lovers, bad boy player turned ultimate softy is both hot and heartmelting. And just when you let your guard down twist and turns keep you on the edge of your seat.
Its an amazing book of kindhearted, bikers, found familly and boundaries. Just and amazing book well worth the read.

CONFESSION TIME: I have been sleeping on Motorcycle Club Romances and if this is what the genre brings, consider me hooked. LOCKED IN 🙌🏽

This story is what can happen when tradition, culture, family obligation, and your heart are pulling you in all different directions. I love Elizabeth and Diablo, but I also love their community. Shout out to Donovan who, at times, is basically the readers voice 😂 I think my favorite thing about this book is that every one is a relatable human; they aren’t perfect, they make mistakes but not to the point that I want to throw the book across the room, just to the point that I want to see everybody redeem and win.

The story- beautiful 😍
The spice- top tier 🤌🏽💋
The heartstrings- tugged 🥹

I can’t wait to see what else Salli gives to us, because the world of Tynerston has so many more stories to tell, and I plan to devour every 👏🏽 single👏🏽 one👏🏽

It’s giving allll the Good Girls vibes!!!

“Firstly, there is a very short list of people who I let call me Elizabeth, and you are most definitely not on that list.”

“Would you mind taking me home, Diablo?” “Not at all, Elizabeth,” this scene tho! 🔥

What a freaking roller coaster of emotions!!! Diablo the bad boy biker with all his rules and Elizabeth his little brother’s best friend hate each other!!! He already has an opinion formed about her before he even really knows her! But when his little brother leaves town for a while and he learns more, he steps up to help her out! Appreciate the LGBTQ representation in this book and hits close to home! See what happens when the biker baddie finally turns soft for his girl!

“Hell no, you have no idea how different I am with you,” he says.

spice 🌶🌶🌶🌶

This story had my poor little heart in a vice-like grip. We are introduced to Donovan & Beth, 2 best friends who are living with secrets and supporting each other. We then meet Donovans brother, Diablo, and his motorcycle gang.

After Beth and Diablo find themselves in a tight situation, then enemies to lovers then starts to unfold. They are both faced with hard choices along the way, but as the title suggests, it all comes down to where their loyalties lie. Are they willing to fight for what their hearts truly desire, or will they let others dictate where they go from here?

I devoured Diablo and Beth's story in a single sitting and know it is one I will reread.

I really enjoyed this book!
This is the first book in The Tynerston series and my first MC romance book and it did not disappoint, I look forward to continuing this series.

I loved both main characters, Diablo and Elizabeth.
Elizabeth resilience and get up and go attitude is very admirable and inspirational and I absolutely love her she stands up for herself, her beliefs and moral values within life.
Diablo is a tattooed hard guy part of a MC club 🏍 but he is grumpy and emotionally unavailable. However, he is fiercely loyal to his MC club and his brothers within.
Elizabeth and Diablo are forced into a tight situation, which then leads them down an unexpected road.

I found the plot to be very interesting and enjoyable and I thought it was very well written in dual POV and the story flowed really well too. This is such a great read I didn't want to put it down and I can't wait for the rest of the series.
I also enjoyed at the beginning of each chapter it recaps a tiny bit of the last part of the chapter just finished in the other person POV.

I would HIGHLY recommend it!
I am so glad to have discovered this author and I look forward to reading more from her.

I would like to thank Salli Cravens for this ARC opportunity. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Thank you Salli Cravens for an advanced reader copy of her new novel Where My Loyalty Lies due for publication on Aug 1st.
This book had me hooked from page one!! I am currently watching Sons of Anarchy so I was 100% in my MC mood and this went down a treat! The writing was so good and the character dialogue was full of great banter had me giggling away. Beth and Diablo are such opposites, but they work so well together. The chemistry Salli was able to give them was electric and super smoking hot!! Wow the spice scenes had me a bit hot under the collar!! Awesome job, can't wait to read more in The Tynerston Collection!

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️


I will forever be a motorcycle club/ brothers best friend/ opposites attract kings girl.

My god the spice was CHEFS KISS.

Diablo and Elizabeth are kissing in a closet together during a game of truth or dare, and all bets are off from there.

Having to keep their feelings for each other a secret, but still exploring each other (and explore they do🥵), they find themselves unable to keep themselves from each other.

The fact that this is Salli’s first book in crazy to me. This feels like a third or fourth series. Incredible, and i can’t wait for the next book!

I love a good MC romance. Diablo and Beth both have difficult pasts and their path to each other is angsty, tension-filled, and sexy. I love that Beth is so strong, confident, and independent. She’s no stranger to struggle, but she is chugging along. I love her and Donovan’s friendship. It’s so familiar and sweet. Diablo is gruff, but mushy on the inside. I love how he falls so hard for Beth and then there’s just no going back. One of my favorite microtropes in this book is that they each call each other by names that no one else calls them. Craven writes spice really well, and there is a great balance of character growth, plot, and a little bit of grovel. I can’t wait for more.

This book was everything I needed and more! Somehow, despite being a bookish girlie, this was my first biker romance AND best friend’s brother romance. It was SO. FREAKING. COZY. I’ve been really busy and stressed and this was just what I needed to soothe my soul during my free time. Elizabeth is officially my favorite book girlfriend of all time. And Diablo? Sweet sweet Diablo. He sets the standard HIGH for all other men. Their stories are that much better with a group of lovable side characters who all feel real and complex. The spice spices deliciously. Easily a 5 star read! I can’t wait for book 2!

So excited to receive an ARC copy and devoured it. My first Spanish motorcycle club series and ate it up. The found family of the club is refreshing and so accepting. The boys standing up for her and protecting her I loved. Watching the FMC and MMC grow emotionally and mentally individually and together was amazing to watch. The MMC with touch her and die vibes and her nurture and protect everyone vibes meshed amazingly. Excited to read more in these series.

If you like motorcycle club romances, this one NEEDS to be on your list. I loved seeing Diablo/Angel fall for Beth and have no idea how to handle it! 😂😂 Also I deeply appreciated how the author handled the lgbtq side story in regards to antiquated MC club rules. I loved Donovan and can't wait to read his book!! Overall this one was deliciously spicy (and I mean 🥵🥵🥵) and an overall fun and enjoyable read! Bring on the next book from Salli Cravens!

Diablo and Elizabeth were perfection. Enemies to lovers, best friend’s brother, he falls first! I loved this MC book Diablo once he gets his head outta his butt and sees everything he thought about Elizabeth was wrong, they actually build the cutest relationship. I ate this book up, it was a quick read for me and I loved all the extra characters.

Well this was a wholesome and cute little MC-romance

This may not be for us dark romance girlies, because it's a sweet story about a "nice" MC club where the brothers talk about their feelings. MC-romance i my favorite genre, but I need it to be darker and my MMC a bit more morally grey, OTT and possessive.
Still I liked all the characters and it was a good palate cleanser.
