The quiet ones are the ones you have to watch out for.

Loki is always the one who is the quiet support for his club and their friends. And it's while supporting the Pagan Souls MC that he meets Braelyn. She’s the gorgeous, feisty prosecutor who happens to be the pseudo-adopted daughter of a Pagan, Rage. When Rage made Betty his old lady, she brought her daughter Braelyn into their lives.

More than once, Loki and Brae seemed to be thrown together. Yet, Loki was steering clear of admitting his attraction. His past held pain that very few knew of. Loki doesn’t want to mess up again. However, when he finds out Braelyn has a hit on her, possibly from an outlaw biker president she sent to prison, he volunteers to go be her bodyguard.

There’s more going on than anyone knows. And it’s complicated by Loki and Braelyn trying to deny their mutual desire. When they can no longer do it, there are consequences. One is brought about by a boy left at the gate of the clubhouse. The papers he has say he’s Loki’s son. When Brae finds out what Loki kept hidden about his past, she has to take time to decide if Loki can give her what she needs or if she should move on.

This Warrior has competition, predators, an outlaw club wanting to do business with his club, and a lot more. And all this he wishes away so he could just bind his Spellbinder to him and have the family he’s always wanted.

Loki and his Spellbinder equals an epic fight in and out of the courtroom and the bedroom, and utter magic.

An avid reader with a passion for romances that finally got the chance to write one of her own. The rest is history. Not what anyone thought for someone who has been a nurse and in healthcare management for years.

I sit writing as my two fur babies, my pugs Kujo and Khaos, impatiently wait for me to get done so they can lay on me as their human sofa!

My children are finally considered to be adults, so it's me, the hubby and the dogs.

I'm a iced tea drinking fiend who has insomnia, more ideas than I know what to do with, and a need to write them down.

Not too bad for a girl from rural Ohio in the foothills of Appalachia that grew up in a town of about 4000 people.

First half is terrible and not very well written, second half is better, but not by much.

What happened to this author? I’m sorry but this was terrible in places. I don’t even know where to start with it. Loki met Brae who is Betty’s daughter in the previous book and it was obvious to everyone they liked each other but nothing happened, as Loki has a deep dark secret (THAT IS STUPID AND REALLY NOT A BIG ISSUE!) that stops him from pursuing Brae. Nearly all the way through the book this secret is mentioned and only Bull and Outlaw know it. I can’t even express how disappointed I was when I found out what it was.

So Brae who is a prosecutor for the DA decides to play a game with Chaos, one of the Mc members from Wrath’s Mc, to make Loki jealous and they bet on it. Oh good grief. 🙄🙈 How old is she??? This is like kids stuff! Loki eventually straps his b*lls on and pursues Brae but only after he finds out that Brae is in serious danger from a man she put away who belongs to an evil Mc. This is where it started to go really wrong. Loki rides to Brae’s apartment WEARING his cut, and Rage and Wrath are already there with Chaos ALL WEARING THEIR CUTS. Brae says that she has felt someone watching her, so it’s decided Loki will guard her, and not wear his cut. So the evil Mc don’t connect her to any Mc. They know where she lives, they’ve been watching her, and there’s a hit on her, isn’t it a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has escaped?

After a lot of talking and talking, and yet more talking, Brae and Loki have sex, and I couldn’t read it as they went from being strangers and avoiding each other to having sex and it felt weird and cringy. The sex scenes were just bizarre as Brae makes Loki show her his recent test results on his sexual health and she shows him proof of her tests and her contraception. It felt like a meeting with a lawyer not hot and sexy!

It gets slightly better in the middle but the evil Mc don’t seem capable of doing anything to Brae, and a subplot with her boss who is determined to get her in a ‘real ’relationship never comes to anything. It drags on and on, they have a huge falling out because of Loki’s dark secret. Oh good grief.

Aside from being boring, there’s a lot of mistakes and it’s not very well written sadly. I didn’t like Loki or Brae to be honest. If he told her ‘club business’ one more time I would have screamed. He doesn’t tell her anything and acts like she’s a delicate flower who he can’t tell anything to, when it’s Brae as a prosecutor who gets most of their information! 😡😡😡 Also one more point and then I’ll shut up, there’s a really graphic torture scene that’s way over the top and unnecessary.

Sorry it’s not good.

Wow, What a great book. As always Ciara St James has delivered a fantastic book that had me glued to it until I finished it. Loki and Braelyn's story was wonderful. I can't wait to see who is next in line to get their happily ever after. I would give 10 stars⭐⭐ if I could.

Loki and Brae

I've been waiting for Loki and Brae's story for what felt like an eternity, and let me tell you, it was totally worth it! Loki's got a lot of baggage, courtesy of his sketchy past, which made him gun-shy around Brae. He just didn't trust himself, period. Meanwhile, Brae's been crushing on him hard, but it seemed like he didn't return her feelings. She tried to brush it off and live her life, but that's easier said than done. When danger comes knocking, Loki finally gets his act together and makes a move. Buckle up, folks, because this story's got more twists and turns than a crazy rollercoaster ride! It's a wild ride, full of laughs and feels, and I couldn't put it down. I'm obsessed with this book and the whole series, and I think anyone who loves MC life will devour it. Ciara's a rock star and I'm hooked on her books!

This one drove me nuts! I wanted Loki to get over himself at the start. Then I wanted to bitch slap him later after he finally won over Braelyn by not sharing important things from his past. It was his own fault that he almost lost Braelyn, he had the perfect time when they were talking about their past and he kept quiet. Then when we learn what he was so determined to keep quiet...it was nothing much, something that has happened to many others.

I was sort of surprised that Loki managed to finally win back Braelyn. I did love how she took the surprise that Loki got and found a way to make it important in their lives.

The best thing in this book was the take down of the other MC, the bad one and done it a way that hopefully will make others that try to do the same things think again.

Book fourteen in the Hunters Creek Archangel's Warriors MC series. I loved that Ciera always writes her women amazing. This one was good. Lokis is drawn to braelyn, but he does not approach hers. She’s an amazing prosecutor and sass for days. She likes him but she won’t make it move till he does. When she gets into some trouble loki volunteers for the job. After all nobody messes with his girl. Now it’s up to the club and Loki to look out for her. When his past come calling they have a dis agreement that almost breaks them apart. Remember the boys from the club Always fall hard for their ladies and will die to protect them. Great add on to this amazing series.

It's always a pleasure to read the new releases from Ciara St. James.

Brealyn is the pseudo-adopted daughter of Rage and pseudo-adopted sister to Wrath, so you already know the person she ends up with is going to be put through the wringer. Loki- even though he felt the attraction towards Brae, fought it because of the baggage in his past.

After danger comes knocking in the form of Braelyn's job (because she's a boss a$$ prosecutor), Loki is forced to $hit or get off the pot as one says. He finally admits to himself Brae is the one he wants and he's willing to fight for it.

Unfortunately Loki's past shows up to bite him in the butt and causes Brae's trust in him to be fractured. Loki has to work hard to prove that a future with Brae is what he wants, but could that be ruined due to Brae's job?

Definitely cannot wait to see what comes next for the Hunters Creek Archangel's Warriors MC!

Love the Archangel's

I love the Hunters Creek chapter. Getting to see everyone and catching up on their lives just gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling. Loki and Brae both had crushes on each other it took a while before they acted on it, but when they did, it was full speed ahead. Until Loki, a typical male, broke Brae's trust by withholding his past from her. Well, he learned real quick that he had some apologizing and explaining to do . Brae finally forgave him, but during all this, they had all the drama and danger that normally fallows all the old lady's. This is a must read it was wonderful.

Fantastic!

Another wild book, full of the usual MC club business, and then more problems from previous books. Iceman's murderous Father comes back being sneaky, and they all bide their time, till they find out just what he's wanting them to sign up for. Brea, finds out how amazing Loki is as the man she's been craving, is also desperate to claim her. Powerful chemistry between them, and her Mom, and Daddy Rage approve. A blast from Loki's past drops off a surprise he never knew about, and a whole lot of really sick bikers are taken to the Cellar. With all that, they still manage to have a beautiful HEA ending!

Loki and Brae's story was a long time coming and it was amazing! Loki's past and the mistakes it contained kept him from pursuing Brae. He just didn't trust his own heart and mind. Brae was incredibly attracted to him but it didnt appear that he shared those feelings. She tried not to dwell on it and live her life. When danger comes knocking, Loki sees his own foolishness and decides to take action. Twists and turns await the reader who is fortunate enough to pick up this story for the first time. So fun with an emotional punch or two, I couldn't put it down!

Loki’s Spellbinder by Ciara St James

This is from the Hunters Creek Archangel’s Warriors series. This book is Loki and Braelyn’s story. Braelyn is part of the Pagan Souls as her mom is the old lady of Rage a past president. Loki and Brae had met before and she had really liked him and thought that Loki felt the same. BRAE Lyn lived a state away and worked as a lawyer for the DA. She was one of the most successful ones. Her job caused her to be in danger and Loki and his club stepped up to help protect her. Much drama and angst happened but they got their HEA.

Always a five star author!!

Wow what a great read this was. It's so good I stayed up all night to finish it. I loved Loki and Brae. They got off to a rocky start, falling for each other but knowing if the other one felt the same. Loki is a protective alpha male and she is a smart independent woman. When they finally get it together the sparks fly and the steam is hot! As usual, Ciara makes sure our favorite family of previous characters are a part of the story. I adored this story which was full of excitement and love.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters, there were a few that I didn't care for. This was a book of protection, compassion, kindness, understanding, and also falling in love. I enjoyed Loki and Braelyn story. I think the author did a wonderful job putting these characters together. Now how they came together was awesome. I love the way they love each other. They went through some ups and downs but everything turned out as should have. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

Loki & Braelyn are HOT

I love love love love the newest Hunters Creek book by Ciara St James! Having Loki find his love with Braelyn, who is connected with the Pagan Souls chapter is perfect.
I alternated between cheering & wanting to slap the bad guy silly (I mean seriously …) and wishing someone somewhere would just put Braelyn’s stupid brother out of my misery.
Definitely a must read, & a must add to your collection!!

I adore the original Dublin falls books and the hunters creeks ones but I feel like these newer books are just so bland. The dialogue doesn't flow as well as previous books and the plot lines are just diabolical, the big secret in this book was just a joke!!! And I have a real big bear about the ridiculous names given to the women!!! I'm hanging on to these books in the hope they improve!!!

At long last

Being a big Ciara St. James fan every book about the Hunters Creek Archangels Warriors get read before anything else. This book is full of love, betrayal and a mystery who is out to get the club and Brae. Loki finally admits his feelings for Brae and goes to protect his woman.

3.75 ⭐️’s Absolutely Loved the cover of this book…the model was gorgeous!! As for the book itself, I felt a bit let down. I feel like there has been more build up and time spent on the torture scenes than there has been on relationship development and the epilogue/HEA in recent books.

Maybe I need a break from CSJ to cleanse my palette. I don’t know!

Mischief indeed.

Loved the story in fact any story with a strong feisty woman in it I love. Loki almost killed the relationship before it began, by his keeping secrets. Braelynn had a hard time deciding if they might make a success of their relationship.
