A secret baby. A stepbrother that can't forget her.

Forbidden Love

Some women are untouchable. Like a stepsister who's alive because of his sacrifice.

Snare is part of the Road Kill MC, and as sergeant at arms, he takes his role as protector seriously.

He always has.

Snare doesn't discuss the scar that almost took his eye or the ultimate protection it provided for the only woman he's ever loved.

The sweet butts provide the distraction he needs and the emotional disconnect he craves.

Snare is married to the club. He doesn't need a woman who disappears without a trace.

Guilt

Sarah tries not to think of Snare. It was one night. And he paid for it—they both did.

The nightmares don't even interrupt her dreams. Much.

Except for the secret she keeps of the child they had together, life couldn't be more perfect.

Sarah knows that Snare isn't the type of man to toy with—or lie to. But when her abuser took things too far, Sarah couldn't allow Snare to protect her any longer. She fled and hasn't seen her stepbrother since.

The price for their love was more than fists and rage.It was flesh and blood.

Can Sarah hide the truth from the one man who protected her with his own life? Will Snare deny his true feelings because of scars that run more than skin deep?

Snare is a full-length, standalone romantic suspense novel with hot sex, no cheating, strong language, an HEA ending and NO CLIFFHANGERS. Contains disturbing themes that might be uncomfortable for some. Perfect for fans of Joanna Wylde, and who also like the dark fare of Pepper Winters.

Snare
5 stars

I have read this series and enjoyed the previous releases. This release is a little different as it deals with a step brother situation. I'm not a huge fan of those as I think it's been overdone but this wasn't a bad read .. in fact this was a great read. From the first two chapters and the flashback you will find yourself already fallen for Sarah and Snare.

Snare is an intriguing character and if you read the previous books you would have already met him. You don't have to read the previous releases but it helps you get closer to this character. Snare is a protector. When Sarah came into his life he had no choice but to protect her from his disgusting father. He won't let him hurt her even if his life depends on it. I knew he would be my favorite character from this series and I wasn't wrong. Committed, protector, brave and loves with a full strong and fierce heart.

Sara can't let his father hurt her step brother. If she stays he will end up killing him. She has to leave. Without a word she is gone breaking herself and giving up the one person who meant anything to her. Sara thinks running has saved her and the only love of her life ... But someone is looking for her ... Someone she wants to find her and the other she doesn't.

This is one crazy read. The story line is really good and the writing is the same. I always feel like I want more though. That's a good problem for an author to have. Sara is also hiding a secret that I won't tell but I think it's written in the author synopsis. I LOVED her. Strong, amazing, smart and doing what she has to in order to survive. Did I say .. I LOVED HER. Once again great characters .. Great storyline and has me waiting for the next release.

There is no cliffhanger like the previous releases! If you haven't checked this series out go grab it up. These are free on Kindle Unlimited so you can't go wrong! Grab up Noose, Knot and Rose while you are doing your clicking!

Thank you for the ARC Marata! Review to post to Ramblings Beneath The Sheets. This is the best release yet.

Novella rather than novel.
The h and H are step-siblings linked by two miserable parents. Apparently the H's dad married the h's mom just to get to her.

Snare keeps the little h safe for several years and then takes her virginity. Little Miss Martyr runs away when she becomes legal so she can let the love of her life be free. Okay, the H has escaped his evil father, has a scholarship to college and has it all set up for the two to live together, but she's "saving" him by leaving. TSTL alert.

Five years later, she's a stripper and he's in a MC gang. Kind of a wimpy gang if you ask me as he tears up at the drop of a hat. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of the meaner MC gangs that do skanky stuff, but I'm having a hard time here.

Side note:She has not had sex since him; he, of course, is quite the prolific man-whore.

The evil father/step-father is reintroduced; the h crosses a big skanky line to make money for her daughter, and multiple

I just wasn't feeling it. The h was and is an absolute idiot to leave the love of her life behind. He wasn't in danger or at any risk any more so why do it? Why not tell him he has a daughter? Why not sue the bejeezus out of the school that pulls the plug on her daughter's time at school because you are a stripper? I guess because you are a one dimensional character that the author needed to separate from the H somehow to create drama.

Chaos You're still the one.

Fast and furious read! There was a lot that happened in this book and I’m not completely clear on it all. Maybe that will change as I read further. Snare sacrificed a lot for Sarah and it was a shame that her youth, fear and insecurities had her making some really stupid decisions.

I am not a fan of step “whatever” stories and I usually avoid them but this one was a little different and that pulled me in.
The book didn’t take long to whip through and while I sometimes feel that I have missed something along the way in a short book, I didn’t get that impression here, the book was well rounded and the characters certainly had their chance to tell their story.
Snare and Sara both suffered at the hands of a monster growing up and more so Snare as he battled to keep her safe, as the feelings that he harboured continued to grow. But when the two of them finally gave in and had their moment, little did they know that it would be their last.
Loving Sara from the minute that her mom and her moved in meant that he knew that protecting her was what he need to do but when she walked away from him she might have well cut his heart out and taken it with her because she pulled a cloud of darkness over his soul that he did nothing to shake off. If he couldn’t have her then he didn’t want anyone, although that didn’t stop him bedding any and every one that he wanted but none of them could fill the Sara shape void.
When it is made clear about why Sara was leaving, I was in two minds as to how I felt about it. I got that he had spent years protecting her and that given the details he would chose her over himself every time and that she was putting him first this time and giving him the opportunity to have a future that he not only had planned but that she wanted for him so much. But it seemed so unfair, she knew how he felt and by leaving she was hurting the one person that had shown her unconditional love…I didn’t get it.
Five years pass and neither of them have forgotten what they shared and they are living lives that could be so much more if they were together. Sara is struggling to juggle all her commitments and her work as stripper and despite the pressures that she was under I have to say that I admired the integrity she showed, she refused to break, a will of steel meant that she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, but the same could very well be said for snare because he couldn’t let it lie any longer so he roped Noose in and put wheels in motion, determined to track her down.
It soon become apparent that they are not the only ones trying to track her down, Snare’s perverted father Riker has her in his sights again and so the race is on and his need to protect her is back with a vengeance but when he eventually does track her down and finally lay eyes on her it couldn’t be at a worse time, talk about timing being everything …I think Sara may just have wanted the world to stop turning.
But now it is a case of what to do with the feelings that they still have for each other, all the while handling the sh**storm that is going on around them. The MC is up to its eyes in deals and danger and Snare has a job to do that he cannot turn his back on but he wants more of Sara so when past, present and future appear to be on a collision course the ensuing chaos was always going to be epic!
I was not disappointed; it wasn’t just epic it was absolutely spectacular!
A smart, sexy little read that for lovers of a smart sexy mouth, over protective biker and a sassy strong willed woman will tick all the boxes.

I have always been curious about Snare and now I finally have answers to what makes him tick and what all he's gone through in life. Marata did a really great job writing this book. You will be hooked and flipping those pages to find out how it all ends. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it would all turn out and I was not disappointed at all. I loved the characters in this book and I can't wait to get more from these MC men.

Snare is Sara's stepbrother. Their parents married when she was 15 and he was 18. Snare's dad is a mean, vile person that loves to beat on everyone. The worst part is what he has plans on doing to Sara. Snare has been protecting her the whole time and when she turned 18 he took her virginity and she ends up pregnant. Not wanting to be a burden or something that Snare feels obligated to take care of she runs and starts a new life with a new name. Fast forward 5 years and Snare can't get her out of head and has Noose look for her. What he learns is something he isn't going to tolerate to keep happening. He is on a mission to bring his woman back and make her his forever.

I just have to say not only did I love Snare but Sara has to be one of my favorite female leads. She is feisty and isn't going to take anything without a fight. She will do anything to provide for her daughter and to protect her.

What happens when she runs out of options? How will she react once Snare finds her? How will Snare react when he learns her secret? What happens when the past brings Chaos?

What the triple Fark OMG I FREAKING LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

Marata Eros NEVER EVER disappoints me, I just know from the first page Ill be done for until Im finished and usually even after that. OH My GAWD I LOVE HER!!!

I was so excited when I found out the Road Kill MC series was going to be continued on with Snare after reading Noose and Rose's AMAZING story and it was worth every second!!!

There is so much action and twists and turns and humor that will keep you from wanting to put this story down!!!

Snare Oh My (Fans myself) boy has a mouth on him and all that alphaness just pours off him. Freaking HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Loved Sara she had real strength and courage for someone so small.

Together they are exquisite there is definite chemistry there, they have a soul mate connection.

The sexy scenes are freaking scorching and loved every minute.

I loved the flow of the story it was definitely a page turner, and the cameos from The Token Series ****swoon****. I loved how that was tied into the story.

All up BLOODY BRILLIANT, Funny and delicious, I could not put it down and I want to read it again!!! I will most definitely be following all of Marata Eros' future works, and I cannot wait for WRING!!!! (**SQUEALS**)!!!!

I really loved this book. It is my second book by the author and I am so happy I picked up the boxset. Snare and Sarah are sort of long lost lovers that met as older teenagers when their parents married. Yes, they are step siblings and in a world of abuse they find in each other love and protection. However Sarah does Snare so wrong; she leaves so she can no longer be a burden for Snare. Years pass and Snare has not gotten over Sarah though he tries his best getting lost in the MC world of bikes, drinks, and women. Snare believes Sarah left him to start her own life but little does he know that she left to give him a chance at a life without carrying the burden of taking care of her. Snare finds Sarah and learns of many surprises but most important he learns he still loves her as much as he did when they were younger. Amazing story, steamy passionate scenes but most importantly HEA with babies and all!

Great story!!! I was given an ARC in return for an honest review. The story behind Snare and Sara is a pretty messed up life they grew up in. Snare protected Sara from his father and Sara turning 18 left without a word and 4 years later Snare finds her and guess who is also looking for Sara. The situation becomes complicated. There are beatings, kidnapping, stripping, hot and steamy sex in this story. Snare and Sara over come every obstacle and gave into their love. Thank God for no cliffhanger. lol... I fell in love with each character that was named and hope to read more about them in the near future. Yet another great story written and I totally and honestly recommend this book is an awesome read. :)

Ok so this book had so much going for it. Snare and Sara forbidden love, secret baby, murderous father. I was kind of digging the book until the scene where Sara gives the BJ to the old guy. Like for five years she managed to not get physical with clients but all of a sudden she’s desperate for money. And I’m sorry, but once again this author has a h that makes all the dumb choices. You know that someone is after you, but let me leave my door open while I go into another apartment to chat. Lord help me.

Snare is awesome. Sara is perfect. It's gritty and pretty awful but it's MC, baby.

PS. I am wondering why the scene in the VIP area if that man was not who we think he is???!!! and his behavior still makes me wonder. Personally, I could of lived without that particular scene.

PSS. I think the cover is Snare.

DNF. Couldn’t get past the step brother relationship especially since Snare keeps mentioning it over and over again. Then the first time he goes to speak to her is an asshole. Rips off her towel etc. no thank you. Didn’t care for him at all. He didn’t check on her for years and now he comes back and is a jerk.

Well, here I go again.
After reading just one book I knew that I needed the entire series so what better way to know them then to read?
Marata Eros has captured my attention with just one book.
It was that good.
Her writing is raw and wild, intense and dark as well as hot...
So hot.
Snare is the second book from the Road Kill MC series and explores the lives of Snare and Sara.
Snare is the sergeant at arms for the Road Kill MC.
He's one of the brothers married to the club.
He doesn't want a relationship so one night stands do just fine.
But he was in love once but it was a forbidden story.
Then she disappeared. Year has passed and the need to find her is super strong but what will he do when he actually sees her again?
Sara had fallen in love with a forbidden man. It doesn't matter the time that had passed, her love is the same but so many things have happened...
So many lies and now what?
She had run away to escape her abuser and to protect the one she loves and in the process she lost Snare forever.
She thought that she would never see him again but she was wrong. He had found her. Can she tell him what she has been hiding? Why did she truly leave?
Jesus, this book was intense. I loved it.
Great plot, well written, super engaging and dark.
Each chapter was even more addictive than the latest and I couldn't stop reading it.
It was that good.
Things were happening in a way that I saw myself biting my nails and shivering.
Jesus... Some people are vicious and crazy.
One minute things were one way and then it changed.
I never saw that coming. Nope.
We also have some hot stuff into the mix. Oh yeah.
This book gave us pain, sadness, violence, abuse, as well as love, loyalty and family bonds.
Your life might seem lost but you can't give up.
Great book Marata. Loved it

Snare may be a MC romance but this one was all about second chances. As I have come to expect with this series, it has grit but it also has a whole lot of heart and emotion. Snare and Sara have loved each other for what feels like a lifetime but the guilt that Sara carried because of the suffering Snare had endured to protect her caused her to run and set him free. However freedom was not what she gave him all she did was give him a half life without her. As their worlds collide five years later Snare will not only need to protect the one woman who has owned his heart yet again but he will need to protect more than just them. Their story is heart wrenching, twisted and worth every minute of angst it will bring.

Snare & Sara get a second chance at love.

Snare & Sara are step brother and sister. However, it has been 5 years since Sara ran away as she no longer wanted Snare to feel obligated to be her protector against her stepfather.
But Snare who hasn't forgotten the only girl/woman he as ever loved decides it is time to find her again and hopefully keep her safe.

What unfolds from this moment is shocking revelations, secrets, suspense, angst, and action.
I enjoyed this read however I felt a few unnecessary moments took away some of my enjoyment (complete personal preference).

With more Road Kill MC characters still needing a HEA I look forward to continuing series!

This is Snare's story. His father is Riker, an absolute mongrel of a man. When he marries Sara's mother, Sara becomes Snare's stepsister. Whenever Riker goes after Sara, Snare is there to take the beatings instead — most of the time. When Riker tries to rape Sara, Snare is there to protect her. Their love is a secret, and when they finally come together, Sara runs away so he won't have to protect her anymore and keep getting hurt. But there are repercussions from this night. Fantastic read and wonderful characters.

Awesome!!!! Loved every minute of it and am suffering a major reading hangover because I couldn't put it down. Thank the Lord this was all in one book. Loved Snare in Noose and Rose's story and loved him even more by the end of his and Sara's story. Lola was great and would really like to read more about her. Looking forward to Wring's story.

I found this one a bit hard to read. Almost didn't to be honest but I am loving this series!

Snare and Sara have a selfless love but miscommunication or none as the case may be has lead to a lot of heartache.

She disappeared years ago...

Snare and Sara's brutal, twisted story is about sacrifice, secrets, violence, abuse, sex, abduction, blackmail, hidden agendas, vengeance, villains, a surprise plot twist and a happily ever after well earned.
