Graven Bastards MC: Tonopah, NV #11
Violent Bones
A Graven Bastards MC / Royal Harlots Crossover
Bones:
Violence is a normal part of my life.
I’ve lived it, one way or another, since the day I enlisted.
In the Corps, they called me Ace.
I'm a sharpshooter, and I never miss my shot.
But after I retired, I felt restless, searching for meaning until I found Hope’s Refuge.
Mercy took a chance on a cocky Marine.
I found my purpose in handing out justice and helping women and children in need.
So when Mercy asked me to follow his daughter and keep her safe, I thought the job would be easy.
Until I saw her.
Davina is a goddess. She's trouble disguised with a confident, sensual smile.
Getting close to her just might be my downfall.
Not one enemy overseas could take me down, but this feisty Harlot has me locked down and begging for more.
Can I resist falling for her and keep my focus on her safety?
Twitchy:
I’ve always been independent. Tough. Lethal.
My daddy didn’t raise a weak woman.
I learned to shoot a gun at twelve and fight in the ring with my brother at thirteen.
Relationships and love aren’t in the cards for me.
I’m too damn picky, and I don’t like to be controlled.
I’ve got it all figured out until I meet Ace.
He’s a tattooed, imposing, dark warrior who makes me want to act on all the fantasies in my head.
He’s charming, loyal, and deadly.
This Marine knows how to take charge and give as good as he gets.
I don’t want to fall in love. I swear he’s just a fling.
And then my stupid heart starts calling the shots, complicating things between us.
When my life is on the line, I can’t help thinking of Ace first.
Can he save me from my enemies before it’s too late?
** For best enjoyment, it is highly recommended that Eternally Mine and Devil's Ride are read before Violent Bones.

I have been waiting for more of Twitchy since I read a bit of her story in the Royal Harlots. This is just a little bit more of her story with Ace added into it. I absolutely loved it. I really liked the storyline and where the author is going with these two characters. I mean once I started this I couldn't put it down. I even found some parts of the story a bit surprising because I just wasn't expecting things to turn that direction. Overall it's an excellent read with words that flow throughout. I cannot wait to see what's next for Twitchy and Ace.

Ace and Twitchy are two of my favourite characters and I am so glad we get to see how their relationship started and how it grows into something amazing! Twitchy is such a badass woman and it will definitely take a strong man to be able to stand beside her without holding her down and Ace is exactly what she needs. I loved their banter and all of the sexual innuendos thrown back forth between them. They definitely kept a smile on my face.
This was another exciting and action packed story in this amazing series. It was filled with suspense, drama, violence, twists and turns throughout and some very sexy moments that I could not get enough of.
I love this series! Highly recommend.

Awesome!!
Nikki did an excellent job to the end of the book for Ace/Bones. He is not only a Ghost for Mercy but now a Reaper with the Tonopah chapter of the RBMC. Most of the book is from the Royal Harlots anthology but still a good book. When these two come together they are unstoppable. Twitchy and Ace are good together in and out of bed. They both fight for justice for the people who can't.

Violent Bones
Violent Bones is another great installment added to the Tonopah chapter. Although I was a bit frustrated with Twitchy (Doesn’t Listened😒) it is amazing. Not to down Twitchy's character, she's fiercely loyal to those she loves, she's very independent but Ace loves her crazy behind. Ace is a different breed for sure and I love him.

A nonstop action packed, wild, intense and crazy ride to go on with Ace and Twitchy. I found myself completely enamored. The dynamics between these two amazing characters is deeply intoxicating. Their chemistry is palpable, their banter is witty but the connection between them is simply perfect. Where can I find me an Ace/Bones? A definite page turner that kept me on the edge of my. Cannot wait to see what come next from this outstanding author.

Bones & Twitchy
I loved visiting the RBMC and getting to ride along as each brother becomes a reaper. I have to say that I loved how Ace reacted to find out what his reaper looked like. I can't wait to see more of Bones and Twitchy in the future.

Holy Cannoli this book was hot. Thank god I did not have to go to work today because I stayed up way too late finishing this book and I do not regret it one bit. Nikki knocked it out of the park again.

Royal Harlots 🖤
Love these badass women! Twitchy and Ace are perfect together. Twitchy just needs to learn to wait for backup. But what a steamy read. Love the Reapers!

Twitchy, Twitchy, Twitchy, what are they going to do with you? This little Firecracker has Ace all tied up in knots. She's fierce, independent and as stubborn as they come. Of course having Mercy for a father and the Jackal as a brother she'd have to be all of the above. Ace is her perfect match. He gives her the freedom she needs to do her thing while providing her with a safe haven when she needs it and Twitchy does the same for her Reaper. This author has knocked it out of the park again with Bones and Twitchy. What a fantastic read!

Every book that I've read takes a special place in my heart. There are books that I like and then there are others that I love.
From the first book that I read from this lady, I knew that I couldn't stop reading them.
It has been an amazing journey and I'm so glad that I embarked on it.
Nikki Landis is one of the authors responsible for my love for MC books.
Her writing is raw and wild with a touch of darkness in between with a twist.
I hope you guys can give her a chance.
Violent Bones is her latest release and it's the eleventh book from the Royal Bastards MC, Tonopah chapter.
Do you know this series?
If you don't, I advise you to read it from the beginning. Trust me.
This book explores the lives of Ace/Bones and Twitchy.
Ace/Bobes is a former Marine. When he retired, he found his home with Hope's Refuge.
When Mercy got him under his wing, he deducted his life helping women and children in need.
When Mercy asked for his help with his daughter, he wasn't counting on her being one gorgeous woman...
Twitchy is a badass. She's feisty, lethal, and loyal.
She's determined to find her cousin's killer, and no one will stop her. When Ace crosses her path, she thought that he was only going to be a fling, someone to scratch an itch but...
I didn't think it was possible to fall even more in love with this series.
I'm serious. This new book just came to reinforce that life.
These characters are amazing, and you must have a problem if you don't like them.
I mean, don't take it as an offense, but it's impossible not to love all of them.
Stellar plot, well written, super engaging, and intense with a huge twist.
I never thought I would love a twist so much.
The characters were made for each other and I was so glad when she was tamed. Lol
I love Twitchy. She's feisty and I want to be her.
And Ace... Lord have mercy, he's a sweetheart with a heart of gold.
I was so into the book that I read it in one sitting. Seriously, it was one addictive chapter after the other and I couldn't stop reading.
Not did I want to, if I'm being honest.
And the hot stuff? Let's just say that I needed a cold shower now and then...
So hot.
It was amazing to have news from the other characters in this series.
I love this MC family.
Another amazing book Nikki.

OMG
Every Royal Bastards MC book from this author keeps getting better and better. Davina and Grady story was perfect for them with a RBMC happily everafter. I love how all the other stories fit perfectly with this story. The Reapers never disappoint.

Twitchy, what a strong BA woman! Her story with Bones is raw, gritty, fast paced and action packed. I loved that even though centered on Twitchy and Bones, there are still past featured characters present. The suspense and danger kept me on the edge of my seat and the heat was on point!

Ace & Twitchy
Nikki should have a Chapter of Royal Harlots & Royal Bastards!!! She hits the nail on the head again with Violent Bones!!! Right from the beginning it takes off with young women being murdered or sold and though Twitchy likes to work alone her father sends her a ghost by the name of Ace. The Royal Bastards, Tonopah Chapter becomes involved and all hell breaks loose. With all collaborative efforts and the "gift" the Bastards possess the storyline takes off. The world build is fantastic and it will to you after a few books,lol. There is action, drama, mayhem as they pursue their quest. Is Ace the man who tames Twitchy? Read this great book and find out. Great job Ms. Landis.

Mercy’s daughter Twitchy is her own woman, a Royal Harlot, but her own impulsiveness gets her in trouble. Ace is the new guy – ex-marine who has been given the job (by Mercy) to protect this strong-willed daughter even though she doesn’t want protection. She’s off to get revenge for the killing of a family member.
He’s attracted to her and now must keep that attraction from taking him off the task given him. Aware of an audacious trafficking stunt involving high school girls and a van being planned, both call in their resources, Harlots and Bastards to save them. The more they work as a team the stronger their attraction grows. Plenty of action from start to finish. This was the first MC club book I’ve read, but met author Landis at a signing and decided to see what the genre was about. Page-turning action, lust and HEA. Very enjoyable.

This is one of my favorite RBMC chapters. Ms. Landis gives us such amazing storylines with not only the MC vibe but with a paranormal twist that takes this series to a whole other level. Violent Bones is Ace and Twitchy’s story and boy what a ride. We met Twitchy in the Royal Harlots story. She is a sassy, feisty, lethal woman who is determined to find a killer, get revenge for her cousin and no cocky marine is going to get in her way. Ace is said cocky marine. He has been sent by Mercy, to keep his daughter (Twitchy) safe. What he didn’t count on was Twitchy being everything he’s ever wanted in a woman. Ace is determined to keep her safe and make her his. But doing either just might be easier said than done. In fact, he may just need the help of the RBMC to get the job done.
Lots of action, suspense and romance. I highly recommend all the Tonopah, NV MC books. Please note as the author has stated, for best enjoyment, it is highly recommended that Eternally Mine and Devil's Ride are read before Violent Bones. Trust me you won’t regret reading anything from this amazing series.
2 Thumbs Up and 5+ stars

Dear Rating Systems - I need partial ⭐️s!!!! This is a 4 1/2-4 3/4
I loved Twitchy and Ace. This combination of the Royal Harlots and Royal Bastards hits all the notes, and finding out more about Mercy, his family and the Ghosts (I still love Papa and have the shirt to prove it) was amazing. Also, if you read the Royal Harlots anthology, part of this will seem really familiar, but it’s so much better.
I got so sucked into the various things going on that I just wanted more of each, which I know we’re going to get, Landis always gives us more later, but I WANT IT NOW! And the introduction of Bones to the story, seriously, now, I want more! So yes, this is all about me, not the book! It was one of those that drag you in and make you beg for more, perfect for a MC romance, right?

Now this book I loved except they didn't do the ride... they got right up to it and bam it jumped ahead.
First thing first. If you read the part that says to read the part in the Royal Harlots before starting this book... don't do it... all it is, is the first 82 pages of this book. Don't wash your time. This author is one of my favorite of the Royal Bastards MC...the reaper is pretty cool in here but not much of any in this one.
This is Ace and Twitchy's book. There's not a full hea but more of a hea for now.
Okay not wasting any more time telling about this book.. just read this part of the series in order for better understanding.

Holy shizzballs!!
Just! Just what was that ending?!!! Holy shit!!!
Right, well!! Anywho! I bloody loved Twitchy and Ace in the Royal Harlots anthology and I could not wait to read more about them. And I love this Chapter of the Royal Bastards MC too. So this was a win-win!!
But I was not prepared for this, my heart literally caved in my chest. And that ending?!! I need more!!!

Wow, loved Twitchy's story. She is something else. It was good getting her story. I loved Ace, he was alpha all the way. Mercy, her father, asked for Ace's help in protecting his daughter, because she was headstrong and going in to help girls who are being kidnapped and into sex slavery. There is plenty of action, heat, suspense and a HEA FOR NOW. Can't wait to read more.

Violent Bones, RBMC, Tonopath, Nevada
Nikki Landis, weaves a tale of Ace and Twitchy that is at times hysterical and at other times is tragic. Twitchy is on a quest to shut down the human trafficking ring that the Scorpions and the Russians are running in the Great Basin area. It's going to be a wild ride.

Another amazing chapter to the RBMC and Ace and Twitchy are one of my favorite couple thus far. Mercy sends Ace to watch over and protect his daughter, Twitchy, who’s determined to help the women being taken and sold off. I loved the instant chemistry between Ace and Twitchy and I loved Twitchy’s devotion in finding justice. I loved this one and look forward to seeing what’s next!
August 12, 2022
Great book
Oh wow, you have to love the Reaper. The Tonopah chapter of the Royal Bastards do it up right, add in a few Royal Harlots and a Ghost and you have one fantastically interesting story.

The Tonopah Chapter of the RBMC is one of my favs, and Ace and Twitchy bring it hot and fast in Violent Bones! I love Twitchy's devotion to bringing justice, and Ace is one tough hottie who knows when his heart says "Mine!" Freaking fantastic!!

I love how these series are all connected!!! I’m farther into the series so back tracking has me skipping some in this book, but to see how each new character feels in that moment is priceless! More please!

Good story
I like Twitchy and how strong she is. I wouldn't mess with her. I really like how Ace lets her be her, and just supports her and stands with her.
