The Kingsmen MC #1-4
The Kingsmen MC Collection
*** Warning *** This collection is intended for those 18 years or older due to mature and sexual content.
Journey through Jay and Lil's epic love story and explore the growing romance between Clink and Charlie, book after book at an incredible value.
BOOK #1- A LIL' LESS BROKEN
Lil's and Jay lived their very own fairytale biker romance. He was her first love, her only love. She was what he needed, what he wanted.
Insecurities, fear and misconceptions lead Lil's to make a heartbreaking decision to abandon that life and love behind, before it consumes and destroys her as it did her mother years earlier.
But.. moving on isn't so easy when you are deeply connected to your past.
When Lil's finds herself in a whirlwind of danger her knight in shining armor, er..., her badass biker on a Harley bails her out. But at what cost?
BOOK 2- A LIL' LESS LOST
Do fairytale's always have a happily ever after? Jay and Lil's had just found the love they once shared and foolishly lost. But, a horrific turn events threatens to end it forever. Jay must race against time to save his ol' lady Lil's and their baby before tragedy strikes. In this sequel we learn more about Jay, the deep love he has for his soulmate, and just how far he is willing to go to protect her.
This novella is approx. 50,500 words and does not contain a cliffhanger ending like it's prequel. However, an epic love story like Lil's and Jay cannot possibly be wrapped up in two tidy little novella's... now can it?
BOOK 3- A LIL' LESS HOPELESS
Jay and Lils' epic tale of true love has unfolded, first in 'A Lil' Less Broken', followed by 'A Lil' Less Lost', and now concludes in the third installment of Tara Oakes' thrilling Kingsmen MC saga.
Jay has proven his loyalty over and over... that he is willing to do whatever necessary for his one true love, his Lil' one, Julia. She just so happens to have an uncanny ability to find herself in need of that loyalty time and again.
What happens when the tables turn and it is Lil's who must risk it all to save her ol' man? To prove once and for all, to him, and to the MC they call family that she is no longer the little girl they've known. But instead, is a fierce ol' lady determined not to stand idly by as everything she has worked so hard to regain is threatened.
BOOK 4- BITTER SWEET DECEPTION
The Kingsmen MC's saga continues in this newest installment of Tara Oakes' tantalizing new series. In the first three novella's you've come to know and love the characters within the club. Jay and Lil's have had their epic love story play out over the pages of "A Lil' Less Broken", followed by "A Lil' Less Lost" and finally, "A Lil' Less Hopeless". While their fairytale is far from over, the next arc in the series concentrates on some of the other intriguing characters that have been woven throughout Jay and Lil's storyline.
The question on everyone's mind is.... WHO IS CHARLIE? And what is she hiding?
Planting herself deep within the club's inner circle, Charlie came to Chisolm with one goal in mind... to destroy the Kingsmen MC, no matter the personal cost. An unknown hatred fuels her mission to take them down. Pairing herself up with one of the club's bad boy's, the MC's enforcer, Clink, seemed like just the ticket to get her in the door.

Favorite Quotes:
A Little Less Broken
“You send one measly bimbo to the E.R. and you never live it down, jeesh.”
“I love you Lil’s. I know you know it, but I need to say it to you. I need you to hear it, to feel it, and see me saying it to you.”
A Little Less Lost
“This was a fresh start, a new beginning. I was cleansing my soul. I had allowed myself a minute to wallow in this, feeling fragile and vulnerable, but no more. It kind of feels like a rebirth, a salvaging from the ruin.”
“Life had gone by, with Jay and me losing our way and finding each other again, but this place was a constant, a reference point for us and part of our story.”
“Baby… this is where I told you for the first time that I loved you. I loved you for a long time before that and every moment since. I love you more than I care for myself, my life, and I would gladly give them both if I had to, to make you happy and keep you safe.”
“I was destined to love you and only you and I will love you every moment until there are none left.”
A Little Less Hopeless
”He may be the one to have just woken up, but his eyes are wide and alert while I had no doubt mine were in fact dreamy.”
“Glad to know I can realistically pass for a hooker if need be.”
“He asked me a long time ago, in the beginning, if I was his girl. Truth be told, I was always his girl. And I always will be.”
“This man, this family that I expected nothing from, surprised me by giving me the one thing I deeply needed. The one thing I convinced myself a long time ago that I could live without. Belonging. I belong here.”
Bittersweet Deception
“He has this way of making me feel like a caged bird about to be pounced on by a hungry cat. His darkening eyes look starved for me, I feel it.”
“Part of me wants to run out that door and get the hell outta dodge. The other part won’t leave him… can’t. As scared as I am of what’s set to happen next between us, I know I’m more scared, terrified even of what would happen if it didn’t. I’ve had a taste of him, a harmless little bit that sucked me in and took over. Now I need it to live, to breathe, to function.”
“If I put my tag on you, I take on all responsibility for you. You’re mine. I will lay down my life to protect you and make it my life’s mission to earn the right to have those letters on your back…”
“Sugar, I will always find you. You’re part of me now.”
My Review:
Tara Oakes was only my second foray into the MC genre and much like my initial experience from reading a Chelle Bliss novel, I am proud as punch and pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed this series so much. Until recently, I had never read or even would have expected to pick up a book of this genre. I really should have known better, but didn’t think I would be interested or was qualified for some reason, since I have never watched Sons of Anarchy, am a well-educated, professional, pasty-skinned Anglo-Saxon woman, living in Hawaii, in her 50s, with no tattoos or leather clothing. I don’t even have a denim jacket. My only real-life experience with this sub-culture has been occasionally seeing MC riders in tight groupings on the freeway, from the safety of my personal car.
I adored this series by Tara Oakes like a new and delightful toy, and I didn’t want to put it down. Most of them could be read in a day. Her stories were all involving, entertaining, and an easy read, yet something totally outside my own experience, and entailed learning a bit of new vocabulary. I saw elements of several blended genres, including new adult, family drama, women’s fiction, and erotic romantic, and suspense. I loved seeing bad-ass bikers described as romantics, fathers, lovers, brothers, extended family, and caring and tender souls. And the sensual scenes had me gasping, in a good way. I typically avoid reading series, but I found myself paying attention to when the next installment was coming out.
Each book gives us more of Tara Oakes’ smokin’ hot, stubborn, Neanderthal, alpha biker men. Toss in additional family drama, sizzling sensuality, and sweet and steamy love scenes… heaven. But bonus - we also get to see their sweet and tender loving, small-child friendly, and nurturing sides… I do like some sweet and tender along with the sizzle, it humanizes and balances out their gruffness. Ms. Oakes’ stories are always well-written, absorbing, steamy, and full of secrets, hidden agendas, and tantalizing details.

This is my Favourite MC Series and I can't wait to see what comes next for the gang of Kingsman MC
A Lil’ Less Broken
Julia Keagan was born and raised within the Kingmen’s Motorcycle Club, she was given the nickname Lil’s by them. She spent most of her childhood following around her older and his best friend Jay. Lil’s has always had a crush on Jay, who was 6 years older than her but never thought anything would ever come of it. Once she turned 16, Jay started spending more time with her and eventually making it official and she becomes his old lady.
Jay was the son of the president of Kingmen’s MC and always felt he had to prove himself. He pledged with Tiny and spent most of his time with the MC out to prove he was more than just the president’s son, his efforts earning him the vice president position in the MC. Things don’t always go according to plan so when Lil’s witnesses something she never thought she would, she switches Colleges leaving Jay behind with no explanation. Little does Lil’s know that fate would bring them back together.
I was given this novella in exchange for an honest review. First off I’ve got to say having the Motorcycle Club lingo put at the beginning of the book was helpful. I didn’t have to try to figure out what anything meant which made this novella an easier read. I love a good MC and this novella didn’t disappoint me. I love the feistiness of Lil’s as she tries to get her own way even though she knows that’s not how things are done. She has an independent side of her that is like no other, but knows when to bring that out and when not to. Jay may be the son of the club president but he can hold his own. I love how he has a soft spot for Lil’s and deals with the independent streak she has without oppressing it too much. The love that he has for her shows throughout the book, it melted my heart and made me fall for him too. The flow of the book was well written as Tara went between the past and present to give the readers the full story on how Lil’s and Jay got together and their history as a couple. Leaving this novella with a cliffhanger just made this story even better as it left me wanting more. I can’t wait for A Lil Less Lost to come out so I can find out what happens and how the club will handle the new threat to them. This may be the first book for Tara Oakes but she has me wanting more like Kristen Ashley did with Motorcycle Man. Definitely a 5 star read.
A Lil’ Less Lost
Lil’s and Jay had faced some hard times throughout their relationship but fate brought them back together. Lil’s didn’t like how Jay forced her back into a relation ship but once she realizes her was doing this to protect her, she agree to his terms. It wasn’t as hard as she thought it would be, as she still loved him but she thought he had betrayed her. After agreeing to stay with Jay she found out just how wrong she was and how much she had hurt him. Just when they thought they finally got back what they once had, they’re struck by a power play made by a rival MC called Slayers. The president of Slayers MC wants part of Kingsmen turf and will do anything to get it including taking Lil’s to add fuel to the fire.
I was given this novella in exchange for an honest review. Tara kept up her amazing story writing with this continuation of Lil’s and Jay’s story. She also had the MC lingo at the beginning of the book again which is always a bonus in my books. I like how the characters development progressed in this book and how she added their own points of view to help develop the story. It worked really well throughout the book. Jay stayed strong and worked hard to get Lil’s back to where she belonged. He showed that he had a level head when he needed to but going up against the president of the MC instruction showed he had the balls to do whatever it took to get back the woman he loves. His plans were well thought out considering everything he had to live for could be ripped away from him if he made one wrong move. Lil’s character stayed strong but showed her vulnerable side as the situation called for it. The foreshadowing in this novella had me guessing what would come next and set it up for the third installment in the Kingsmen MC series. December can’t come soon enough as I really need to know what is in store for Lil’s and Jay and how Charlotte plays a part in it. This is another 5 star read for Tara Oakes!
A Lil’ Less Hopeless
Now that Jay has Julia (Lils’) back safe and sound with him he will do anything to protect her and their baby. With Shade’s ex-old and an important ex-member of the Slayers missing Lil’s may be the person going down for Shade’s murder. Jay comes up with several plans to keep Lils’ safe but he knows that it could all fall apart if Lils doesn’t go along with it. Once Lils’ finds out what Jay has done she comes up with a plan of her own. Will risking it all save her family or will it tear her and Jay apart for good?
Julia remains strong after what she has gone through. It’s not easy but she needs to be strong. The stubborn side of her is never too far away but that is one of the things Jay loves about her. Now that the FBI is breathing down their backs as to what really went down Lils’ protective instincts kick in. She wants to protect everyone including Jessica. Keeping her in the dark about what really happened to Emily is putting a strain on Lils’. She needs to talk to some one but involving another friend into this could be a disaster. Lils’ knows they have no real idea what her life was like before she left for College and she isn’t ready to let them know the full extent now.
Jessica comes from a very different life than Julia. Her parents have money and Jess is much more innocence to things Lils’ has been exposed to. When Jess shows interest in Blue, Lils’ puts a stop to it almost immediately, as she lost one of her friends and she is determine not to lose another. Luckily for Lils’ Jess gets to see what Blue likes as he is one of the guards for Lils’ Bachelorette Party and he find his way into Christine’s (a high school friend of Lils’) bed.
Charlie’s still remains very much a mystery to the readers but is strong when she needs to be. She is also there for Lils’ when Lils’ needs her. Being asked to be a bridesmaid surprised her but she is more than happy to be there for her. Her and Clicks relationship is a roller coaster ride. She wants him but the reason she is holding her back.
Jay is all alpha male in this book. His protective instincts has never left him. He is determined to protect Lils’ and his baby from everything that is happening around her. He shelters her from what is going on, only telling her what she needs to know. When Lils is unexpectedly pick up by the FBI and the mystery of the missing man is revealed but this doesn’t help Jay out with finding the real killer and keeping Lils’ and his baby out of Jail. Jay has a plan to protect them but it will only work if his feisty fiancé does as she’s told.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. Tara Oakes did it again!! She wrote an amazing conclusion to Jay & Lils’ story. This part of their story had me hooked form the beginning as I wanted to know how Jay was going to protect and prove Lils’ was innocent of killing Shade’s. Jay went out of his way to do what he needed to do to protect Lils’ but of course she doesn’t always see things the way he does which makes thing interesting. Charlie and Click’s story continues to grow in this book but it leaves more question than answers. The roller coaster ride Tara took us on to end this story kept me on the edge of my seat and left me unable to put the book down. I had to know how things connected to each other and whether or not Lils would go down for Shade’s murder. I was hoping for some answer as to what Charlie was up to but Tara kept everything a secret until the very end. If you haven’t read this series yet, you don’t know what you’re missing!!!
Bittersweet Deception
Charlie has a secret. One that could change things for everyone in the Kingsmen MC. But when the secret finally comes out will she be able to hold on to the ones she loves or will this destroy everything she hold dear?
I was given this in exchange for an honest review.
We met Charlie in Lil’s story and she has become a good friend to her and has been accepted into the club but no one knows she hiding a secret from them. Charlie is a strong, independent woman who lives with this secret every day wondering when she will lose everything she has. She came to Chislom with one goal in mind, but after meeting and spending time with Clink, she found herself in deep. No matter how hard Charlie tried she couldn’t help but fall for him. After spending practically every night with Clink when he wasn’t doing club business Charlie can’t seem to live without him.
Clink told himself never again would he take an old lady but there was something about Charlie. The more time he spent with her the more he couldn’t give her up. Her sass and how easily she got along with the other woman of the club only made things harder. Clink may be the club enforcer but he is anything but mean. The kind, caring and loving side he shows Charlie makes you fall for him
Tara did it again with another great book in the Kingsmen MC Series. I’ve followed the series from the being and I wanted to know who Charlie was and why she was there. Charlie and Clink have chemistry unlike the rest. They both are independent people who have no problem being alone but when they are together sparks fly and you can’t help but fall in love with the couple. This book is all about finding out who Charlie is but the series of twist and turns that test the relationship between the couple. You don’t really find out who Charlie is and why she is there until you’re about 75% done the book. I had many guess as to who she was but when I found out I was left with more questions than answers. Of course when Clink finds out who she is things explode leaving a cliffhanger and me wanting more!! I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how finding out who Charlie is affects the club. If you’re hoping I’ll tell you who Charlie is, well I’m sorry to disappoint you but you’ll have to read this awesome book to get that answer and you won’t be disappointed either when you find out!

Of course when Clink finds out who she is things explode leaving a cliffhanger and me wanting more!! I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how finding out who Charlie is affects the club. If you’re hoping I’ll tell you who Charlie is, well I’m sorry to disappoint you but you’ll have to read this awesome book to get that answer and you won’t be disappointed either when you find out!

This is my Favourite MC Series and I can't wait to see what comes next for the gang of Kingsman MC
A Lil’ Less Broken
Julia Keagan was born and raised within the Kingmen’s Motorcycle Club, she was given the nickname Lil’s by them. She spent most of her childhood following around her older and his best friend Jay. Lil’s has always had a crush on Jay, who was 6 years older than her but never thought anything would ever come of it. Once she turned 16, Jay started spending more time with her and eventually making it official and she becomes his old lady.
Jay was the son of the president of Kingmen’s MC and always felt he had to prove himself. He pledged with Tiny and spent most of his time with the MC out to prove he was more than just the president’s son, his efforts earning him the vice president position in the MC. Things don’t always go according to plan so when Lil’s witnesses something she never thought she would, she switches Colleges leaving Jay behind with no explanation. Little does Lil’s know that fate would bring them back together.
I was given this novella in exchange for an honest review. First off I’ve got to say having the Motorcycle Club lingo put at the beginning of the book was helpful. I didn’t have to try to figure out what anything meant which made this novella an easier read. I love a good MC and this novella didn’t disappoint me. I love the feistiness of Lil’s as she tries to get her own way even though she knows that’s not how things are done. She has an independent side of her that is like no other, but knows when to bring that out and when not to. Jay may be the son of the club president but he can hold his own. I love how he has a soft spot for Lil’s and deals with the independent streak she has without oppressing it too much. The love that he has for her shows throughout the book, it melted my heart and made me fall for him too. The flow of the book was well written as Tara went between the past and present to give the readers the full story on how Lil’s and Jay got together and their history as a couple. Leaving this novella with a cliffhanger just made this story even better as it left me wanting more. I can’t wait for A Lil Less Lost to come out so I can find out what happens and how the club will handle the new threat to them. This may be the first book for Tara Oakes but she has me wanting more like Kristen Ashley did with Motorcycle Man. Definitely a 5 star read.
A Lil’ Less Lost
Lil’s and Jay had faced some hard times throughout their relationship but fate brought them back together. Lil’s didn’t like how Jay forced her back into a relation ship but once she realizes her was doing this to protect her, she agree to his terms. It wasn’t as hard as she thought it would be, as she still loved him but she thought he had betrayed her. After agreeing to stay with Jay she found out just how wrong she was and how much she had hurt him. Just when they thought they finally got back what they once had, they’re struck by a power play made by a rival MC called Slayers. The president of Slayers MC wants part of Kingsmen turf and will do anything to get it including taking Lil’s to add fuel to the fire.
I was given this novella in exchange for an honest review. Tara kept up her amazing story writing with this continuation of Lil’s and Jay’s story. She also had the MC lingo at the beginning of the book again which is always a bonus in my books. I like how the characters development progressed in this book and how she added their own points of view to help develop the story. It worked really well throughout the book. Jay stayed strong and worked hard to get Lil’s back to where she belonged. He showed that he had a level head when he needed to but going up against the president of the MC instruction showed he had the balls to do whatever it took to get back the woman he loves. His plans were well thought out considering everything he had to live for could be ripped away from him if he made one wrong move. Lil’s character stayed strong but showed her vulnerable side as the situation called for it. The foreshadowing in this novella had me guessing what would come next and set it up for the third installment in the Kingsmen MC series. December can’t come soon enough as I really need to know what is in store for Lil’s and Jay and how Charlotte plays a part in it. This is another 5 star read for Tara Oakes!
A Lil’ Less Hopeless
Now that Jay has Julia (Lils’) back safe and sound with him he will do anything to protect her and their baby. With Shade’s ex-old and an important ex-member of the Slayers missing Lil’s may be the person going down for Shade’s murder. Jay comes up with several plans to keep Lils’ safe but he knows that it could all fall apart if Lils doesn’t go along with it. Once Lils’ finds out what Jay has done she comes up with a plan of her own. Will risking it all save her family or will it tear her and Jay apart for good?
Julia remains strong after what she has gone through. It’s not easy but she needs to be strong. The stubborn side of her is never too far away but that is one of the things Jay loves about her. Now that the FBI is breathing down their backs as to what really went down Lils’ protective instincts kick in. She wants to protect everyone including Jessica. Keeping her in the dark about what really happened to Emily is putting a strain on Lils’. She needs to talk to some one but involving another friend into this could be a disaster. Lils’ knows they have no real idea what her life was like before she left for College and she isn’t ready to let them know the full extent now.
Jessica comes from a very different life than Julia. Her parents have money and Jess is much more innocence to things Lils’ has been exposed to. When Jess shows interest in Blue, Lils’ puts a stop to it almost immediately, as she lost one of her friends and she is determine not to lose another. Luckily for Lils’ Jess gets to see what Blue likes as he is one of the guards for Lils’ Bachelorette Party and he find his way into Christine’s (a high school friend of Lils’) bed.
Charlie’s still remains very much a mystery to the readers but is strong when she needs to be. She is also there for Lils’ when Lils’ needs her. Being asked to be a bridesmaid surprised her but she is more than happy to be there for her. Her and Clicks relationship is a roller coaster ride. She wants him but the reason she is holding her back.
Jay is all alpha male in this book. His protective instincts has never left him. He is determined to protect Lils’ and his baby from everything that is happening around her. He shelters her from what is going on, only telling her what she needs to know. When Lils is unexpectedly pick up by the FBI and the mystery of the missing man is revealed but this doesn’t help Jay out with finding the real killer and keeping Lils’ and his baby out of Jail. Jay has a plan to protect them but it will only work if his feisty fiancé does as she’s told.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. Tara Oakes did it again!! She wrote an amazing conclusion to Jay & Lils’ story. This part of their story had me hooked form the beginning as I wanted to know how Jay was going to protect and prove Lils’ was innocent of killing Shade’s. Jay went out of his way to do what he needed to do to protect Lils’ but of course she doesn’t always see things the way he does which makes thing interesting. Charlie and Click’s story continues to grow in this book but it leaves more question than answers. The roller coaster ride Tara took us on to end this story kept me on the edge of my seat and left me unable to put the book down. I had to know how things connected to each other and whether or not Lils would go down for Shade’s murder. I was hoping for some answer as to what Charlie was up to but Tara kept everything a secret until the very end. If you haven’t read this series yet, you don’t know what you’re missing!!!
Bittersweet Deception
Charlie has a secret. One that could change things for everyone in the Kingsmen MC. But when the secret finally comes out will she be able to hold on to the ones she loves or will this destroy everything she hold dear?
I was given this in exchange for an honest review.
We met Charlie in Lil’s story and she has become a good friend to her and has been accepted into the club but no one knows she hiding a secret from them. Charlie is a strong, independent woman who lives with this secret every day wondering when she will lose everything she has. She came to Chislom with one goal in mind, but after meeting and spending time with Clink, she found herself in deep. No matter how hard Charlie tried she couldn’t help but fall for him. After spending practically every night with Clink when he wasn’t doing club business Charlie can’t seem to live without him.
Clink told himself never again would he take an old lady but there was something about Charlie. The more time he spent with her the more he couldn’t give her up. Her sass and how easily she got along with the other woman of the club only made things harder. Clink may be the club enforcer but he is anything but mean. The kind, caring and loving side he shows Charlie makes you fall for him
Tara did it again with another great book in the Kingsmen MC Series. I’ve followed the series from the being and I wanted to know who Charlie was and why she was there. Charlie and Clink have chemistry unlike the rest. They both are independent people who have no problem being alone but when they are together sparks fly and you can’t help but fall in love with the couple. This book is all about finding out who Charlie is but the series of twist and turns that test the relationship between the couple. You don’t really find out who Charlie is and why she is there until you’re about 75% done the book. I had many guess as to who she was but when I found out I was left with more questions than answers. Of course when Clink finds out who she is things explode leaving a cliffhanger and me wanting more!! I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how finding out who Charlie is affects the club.

**A Lil' Less Broken (The Kingsmen MC #1)**
I was provided with a Review Copy/ARC for review.
To start, I want to say that I am a huge Biker/MC book junkie. I really like this story, but it isn't your run of mill Biker/MC book. It isn't as dark and gritty as most of my faves are. Still a good story though.
I always enjoy a second chance love story and we get that in A Lil' Less Broken. It's totally unconventional in the way that the second chance comes about and that keeps things interesting.
As I said, the story itself is very enjoyable, but the writing itself leaves something to be desired. I mean, the story is conveyed and makes sense, but the punctuation isn't quite right and the tense is off (back and forth) throughout the book. Some people may not notice that as much in a book, but it's a pet-peeve of mine. I do however, realize that it can be a difficult part of the writing process. Regardless though, I think a lot of the grammatical and tense errors probably should have been picked up on in the editing process.
Anyway, I will be continuing the series asap. I really did love the characters and the story line. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I love this continuation of Jay & Lil's story! It kept me interested all the way through and left me wanting more -in a good way!

I love this continuation and basically a wrap up of Jay & Lil's story! I didn't want to put it down. Honestly, I love how things turned out, but I'm really not ready to be done with this couple! Oh well, I can always re-read, I guess.

**Bittersweet Deception (The Kingsmen MC #4)**
I was provided with a Review Copy/ARC for review.
Wow! This book was a whirlwind of emotion! I LOVED it! I have to say, this one is my favorite of the whole series. I couldn't put it down and I was seriously sad when it ended. Not because of the story though. Just because I want more! And I want it NOW! Great read!
Clink & Charlie are easily my favorite couple in this series and this book just cemented that for me. I can't say too much about the story line though because I don't want to give anything away. I will just say that it was fan-freakin'-tastic and leave it at that!
The writing was great, except for some oddly placed punctuation marks and small things like that, but as with the previous books in this series, they're easily overlooked and don't at all take away from the story. The characters were...nothing short of amazing. I just love this family! Unconventional, yes, but a family nonetheless.
I cannot wait for more! The sooner the better! Get your 1-Clicker ready, because you HAVE to read this book!

Excerpts from individual reviews:
A Lil’ Less Broken
“Wait, you mean I can swallow it?”
OMG, OMG, OMG!!! I’m a HUGE fan of MC books and I have just found a new favorite author in this genre!! This book is SUPER HOT and the story line is amazing. Can’t say I loved the WTF moment towards the end, but it’s a necessary part of the story I suppose. I am totally in love with Jasper. Holy hell he is a tattooed, motorcycle riding alpha male to the tenth degree. I am so excited to keep reading this series and can’t wait to start book two. Great job Ms. Oakes, great job!! I give this book 5 stars with 5 hands down the pants. (Trust me it’s HOT!!)
Lil’ Less Lost
“Like a honing beacon calling her home, my cock was beckoning to her.”
(Jay’s so romantic)
This is a fantastic book that I could not put down. I forced myself to put it away at 3:00 AM because I knew as much as I was loving the story, I was going to be very cranky the next day if I didn’t get a least a little sleep. Ms. Oaks does not disappoint with the steamy sex scenes! Jay is an expert and I’m becoming partial to Clink as well. These men have hot bodies and boy do they know how to use them. There are a couple things left hanging from this book and I truly hope they are addressed in book three. I give this book 5 stars with 5 hands down the pants and I am holding my breath in anticipation of book three’s release.
“I was destined to love you and only you and I will love you every moment until there are none left.” (yup romantic)
Lil’ Less Helpless
This is the third book in the Lil’ Less series and it more or less wraps up the story of Lil’ and Jay, and what a it story it has been. (Sigh.) I really enjoyed this last installment. The story line was solid and continued on from the previous book. It once again showed just how deep of a commitment Jay has for Lil’ and highlights Lil’s feisty side. Love the small twist and the lead in to the next book. I CAN NOT wait to find out what Charlie is hiding!!!! This book is steamy, romantic and a good read. I give this book 4.5 stars and 4 hands down the pants.
Bittersweet Deception by Tara Oaks
Holy Wow!! I wanted to know what Charlie was hiding, and OMG I hadn’t guessed that! The prequel tells us a big chunk of the secret, but not all of it. Oh no, no and Ms. Oaks, the devious author that she is, points the read in one direction, then slams us with an alternative at the last moment. Well, all I can say is well done Ms. Oaks, well done!
“Now I’ve got daddy issues and commitment issues. Fuck …. me.”
I will warn you, this book ends on a cliff. Not just a little “oh, I’ll survive if I fall over” cliff. Oh No! An, “I’m standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon” cliff. I finished reading the book at 1:40 AM but was so wound up from the ending that I couldn’t sleep for another hour. I give this book 5 stars with 4 hands down the pants. PLEASE GET THE NEXT BOOK OUT QUICKLY Ms. Oaks, my sanity depends on it!
Average rating 4.875 STARS, 4.5 HANDS DOWN THE PANTS
A Lil’ Less Broken
“Wait, you mean I can swallow it?”
OMG, OMG, OMG!!! I’m a HUGE fan of MC books and I have just found a new favorite author in this genre!! This book is SUPER HOT and the story line is amazing. Can’t say I loved the WTF moment towards the end, but it’s a necessary part of the story I suppose. I am totally in love with Jasper.

Ah! 5 Super hot stars, LOVED this series. Julia “Lil’s” Keagan was born and raised a part of the Kingsmen MC and has had a crush on her brothers best friend Jay since they were kids. Jay claims her as his but shortly after, Julia catches him in what she believes is a compromising situation and she bails. Now a few years later, she’s gotten herself in trouble with another MC by beating up their presidents old lady and the only way to save her is for Jay to claim her, once and for all, as his old lady.
Jay has no idea why Lil’s left in the first place, believing she just left him for no reason. He’s extremely angry with her but still loves her at the same time. When he claims her he immediately lets her know that she’s going to do whatever he says and that she’s to move in with him right away. Lil’s doesn't take being bossed around well…
I was sucked in from the very first page of this series and read all 6 books in 2 days, hardly able to put them down. Great storyline, fast paced, and well written. I highly recommend you not only check out this boxed set but the books after it as well! Can't wait to read more from this author!
**Given these books in exchange for an honest review!**

I have actually read all 6 of the books in this series and they all were 5 star reads for me...and the fact that the first four are in this discounted box set is a really good deal for those who are just starting this awesome biker series.
All of the characters are very complex and richly described with fantastic storylines and some really big surprises are to be discovered (especially when you get into the final books).
You will definitely want to buy the final two books after getting through this set as the cliffhangers at the end of each one make you want to immediately jump into the next one!
Lots of steamy sex, plenty of club action and some deeply moving family drama make up The Kingsmen MC series and I know my biker book reading friends will love them all.
***** 5 ***** "family by blood or by choice makes no difference" stars

Omg what a hot panty melting ride in this box set
This is a biker book series. Raw, gritty, sexy and rough. I wouldn't want to read it any other way. Tara Oakes heats up the pages with a smoking hot story about the Kingsman mc club. Twists and turns, sex, more sex, danger and love. Did I mention hot sexy bikers with lots of muscle and moves? Throw in some sassy mouthed biker babes and the story just leaps off the pages. You won't be able to flip the pages fast enough to devour these awesome books.
I can not wait for the next one to come out. Looking forward to it.

If you love hot alpha outlaws fall who falls for sexy sassy females this is for you. The twist here is that Julia was born and raised in the mc world and wanted no part of it. Her heart cannot ignore her feelings for her childhood friend and first love Jay who also grew up in the mc world and is the new vp of their outlaw club the Kingsmen. Add to the mix the turmoil outlaw mc's face in their world, and the result is a hot sexy, funny and highly entertaining ride!

Great Series
I actually loved these four books. It's a good look at the mc lifestyle. Lil's and Jay will steal your heart. And I have a new book boyfriend in Clink. His hot self really knows how to treat his 'Sugar'. Now for the bad, I hate f***ing cliffhangers. Otherwise this series would be 5 stars.

A good series
Just Wow!! I loved the characters. I thought they were well written and the personalities are awesome... The plots were good especially with each new character placed. I can't wait to carry on the series.

I love a good MC series and this is one of my new favourites "Lil's" and Jay such a good couple,
but have to admit my favourite couple are Clink and Charlie ... they had it all .... both tough but both so humorous.... great story lines

Absolutely amazing collections of bookjs
Tara Oaks is a masterful story teller. If you love MC books then these are a must read. The characters are woven together with many threads and twists and turns.

February 10, 2018I know I know this book is about Lil and Jay. But to me the main player's were Clink and Charlie. Their story is the one that got me going.
