***EMILY***
I’m going to make all your fantasies come true.

If anyone could fulfill that promise, it’s Venom, the hot biker who made it. He’s crude, crass, and has a filthy mouth, but I’m drawn to him. After everything I’ve been through, the arrangement he offers seems to be exactly what I need. What I didn’t expect is for him to be the answer to my prayers, healing me in ways I never thought possible. He awakens something in me I thought long dead. Will he ever want more, or am I fooling myself by thinking he could settle for someone like me?

***VENOM***
I wanted Emily the moment I saw her.
All I could imagine was what I’d do to her if I got her in my bed. The more I get to know her, the more I see how deep her wounds are. She’s fragile. As much as I crave her body, bringing her into my world could break her, and not just emotionally.
I can’t let that happen.
I won’t.
Men like me don’t get a happily ever after. Emily is better off without me, and I pray she doesn’t learn that the hard way.

Venom has had a life void of love! He joined the Death Dealers because it was like the family he never had but he always promised himself to not fall in love because of the repercussions that come with being in an M.C. Emily finds her self going through a brutal divorce and staying with her uncle to help get herself back to feeling confident again. When these two meet its anything but love at first sight! Emily is wary of the tattooed hottie while venom just wants to have some fun! Going from strangers to friends to lovers has never been hotter!!

I have loved every Death Dealers MC book and this one has got to be one of my favorites! I love how soft venom really is! He builds Emily back up and does it in such a beautiful way! And Emily is just amazing! She’s broken but yet so strong in her own way! Gage and raven are my favorite MC couple of all time but venom and Emily definitely give them competition!

This is a voluntary review of an advance copy.

This book was amazing. I loved it so much, not only did it have the perfect mix of MC drama, but the moments of laughing out loud where spot on. Emily cracked me up so much but i also hurt for her. Venom, boy oh boy that man can be very naughty. This was a great addtion to this series and couldnt ask for anything better. 5 stars!!

After ten years of marriage to a lying, cheating husband who constantly belittled her, Emily finally files for divorce and leaves town to stay with her Uncle Jeff.
When Emily meets the hot, muscled, tattooed biker, Venom, she is thrown for a loop. He treats her completely the opposite of her soon to be ex. He makes her question her low self esteem. He makes her feel beautiful.
Venom and Emily agree that sex, not a relationship, is what they both want and it is definitely hot! Venom helps her explore her sexual awakening.
When one of the unfriendlies starts trouble, brothers are kidnapped and bullets start flying.
I love this action packed series, The Death Dealers MC. The author keeps you intrigued with mystery, suspense and some amazing characters. I would strongly recommend this series!!

There are lots of sexy times in Renascence, but at the core, it follows Emily on her journey to self-love/confidence, and how Venom helped her along the way.

I'm a HUGE fan of Alana Sapphire, and have LOVED every book that I've read by her! And Renascence is absolutely NO EXCEPTION! It was so awesome, that I devoured it in one sitting, like I literally didn't put it down for anything, cover to cover. Venom is a huge manwhore, who never wants to be in a relationship. But when he meets the good girl, Emily, his world is shaken up. But it takes him a while to even see it, he just knows that he wants her in his bed. So he keeps putting himself in her path, until she has no choice but to admit to their attraction. Which leads to them embarking on a friends with benefits situation. However, it doesn't take long before feelings develop, so how long will it take for them to give in to them before it's too late? Oh my, Venom is a mouth watering specimen of a man that I wanted to take a bite out of on one hand, while wanting to shake him on the other. And Emily was interesting to say the least, at first, she was a bit annoying, but watching her evolve into a stronger woman was awesome! Don't get me wrong, I had her back 100% no matter what. Anyway, together, they were flammable TNT that exploded into FIERY FLAMES of sexy times that will leave no panties standing. Hell, panty drawers will be incinerated to be honest. Alana Sapphire has brilliant writing style that is HIGHLY addictive, and she's one of my favorite addictions, especially with the Death Dealers MC series. In between the super sexy times, the twists & turns were around every corner, which had me dropping loud f-bombs when they came out of left field. I CANNOT WAIT for more, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Renascence in the meantime!

(5 stars)

This is part of the Death Dealers series, and for any of the characters or mentions of previous on goings to make sense, you must read the previous books. When Venom walks into the pet shop to pick up his order of mice, seeing a new face is a bit of a surprise. When Venom tries his normal smile and seduce routine, he gets shot down; but he isn't going to let that stop him.

Emily is in town visiting her uncle and while she is there she is going to be helping him out while she figures out her next steps in life. She doesn't need some hot guy messing with her head and flirting with her, she already knows that she is just a disappointment when it comes to the opposite sex. Venom isn't going to stop until he gets what he wants, and that's Emily, but only for a friends with benefits thing nothing long term. When the past comes back to plague them both, will their short time be cut even shorter?

As usual Alana Sapphire does not disappoint with her story. Dragging us back into the Death Dealers' world, where we get to see all of our favorite people. I loved the sexy times between Venom and Emily; except for the one scene (tacos aren't my thing). I could totally relate to Emily, and she broke my heart a few times. With everything that an amazing MC story needs, this is a 5 star read all the way!

Venom

I absolutely love this series! Venom is a very stubborn man afraid to admit what he wants. Can he man up in the end and get his hea?

This book is hot, hot, hot. The scenes are detailed, and their chemistry is off the charts.

Amazingly fun read. I can’t wait to see whose story we get next.

Alana has written another winner with her fifth book in the Death Dealers MC series. Here we meet Venom and Emily, two people who meet not realizing that they are what they both need. Venom the treasurer of his MC and Emily running from her past. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Emily and Venom's story, and look forward to Alana's next book.

Absolutely loved each and very page. I enjoy when an author can surprise me and give me a characters story that I didn't know I wanted. Never a slow moment, the story - like all the other Death Dealers books - flowed smoothly. The characters who counted - Venom and Emily - were very likeable and it was nice to see Gage and Raven and Ellen and Einstein.

All around loved Renascence and can't wait for the next book!

Alana Sapphire does it again with her latest from the Death Dealers world! Venom thinks he is satisfied with his life, the last thing he wants is what some of his brothers have found when then found their old ladies, but one meeting with Emily has him thinking there may be something to the whole more than one time with a woman. Emily shows up in Stony View looking for a break and maybe a fresh start after the disaster that is her ex, now if only he would sign the papers and she could be free of him forever. Working at her uncle's pet shop has her meeting a walking, talking dream with the name of Venom. What follows for these two, who at first agree to just friends, is hot, sweet, frustrating and so perfect for them. When added danger comes calling to the Death Dealers and touches Emily Venom will find himself pushing her away when that is the last thing he wants and yet when she needs him the most he will be there to save the day. I loved Venom, with his attitude and even his room full of snakes. Emily is the perfect woman for him, she's smart, sassy and just a little damaged.

Brilliant

Absolutely loved this book. I was pulled into it right from the beginning, I have to admit though I could of slapped Venom a few times, if only you could pull them out the book.
Twists, turns and surprises all await you throughout the book. The emotions that are in the book you feel, certain parts of the book really got to be.
Another great book to add to this season series. I am looking forward to what is next.

Freaking LOVED

I absolutely ADORED Emily and Venom. At first Venom just wants a quick hook up but quickly realizes Emily has had a rough time and needs to go slow. He helps her in so many ways even though he is a hard man. Slowly hey both fall for each other but how do you take the no relationship man and the good girl and it not equal disaster. Drama ensues. I love love love this book!!!

First off this book was amazing. Originally Einstein was my favorite but now Venom has taken his place.

The way Venom treat Emily is how every man should treat his woman. At first Emily only believes he says and does what he does because he wants her in bed but will her thoughts change the more she gets to know him?

Alana has done an amazing job with the storyline of this book and had me wanting to read more. Overall this book was a great addition to the Death Dealers Series and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Even though I got to read an ARC I immediately preorder this book as well because it was that great.

**I had the honor of reading an ARC**

Emily and Venom

What would you say if you could have your fantasy’s come true? Would you jump at the chance to be wowed? Venom is everything Emily didn’t know she wanted, Emily is wanted by Venom the dirty talking biker that is unable to give her wants she wants. She finds out who she really is with his help and ends up falling head over heels for him. The past comes out to threaten to put them in danger. Venom will do anything to kept her safe, even if it’s leaving her alone. Will their passion and arrangement be worth it or would insecurities destroy it all? A another five star read written by Alana

Alana Sapphire's Death Dealers MC is one of my favorite series and she didn't disappoint with Renascence. Emily and Venom meet at her Uncle Jeff's pet shop. He walks in just in time to hear some very colorful language from her, which had me laughing out loud. There are several scenes that had me busting out laughing, but it's not all laughs, as we will learn. Emily was broken by her ex James. Will Venom be able to put her back together or should he even try? We learn he didn't have the best role models growing up and finally got a family, when he joined the MC. I would definitely recommend this newest from Alana and I can't wait to see what she gives us next.

This is my favourite book of the series. Emily is the average girl with all the same feelings and emotions that most of us have and it’s actually easy to relate to her in this book. The story brings you in a series of roller coaster of emotions and you think you know where the story goes and it goes totally in the other direction!!!! Totally enjoyed it !

Great work :) 5 Stars! Great book :)

The men of the Death Dealers, along with Alana's writing, pulled me in from the very beginning! I can't get enough of them. Venom was everything a girl wants! I mean come on, the way he built Emily up, every girl wants to hear compliments like that daily! If there is one author out there that I wish more people knew about....it would be Alana! I enjoyed this book so much. It's hott, sexy, witty, well written and keeps you turning pages!

I loved Renascence by Alana Sapphire! The Death Dealers series gets better and better with every book!

Venom is worried about getting involved with anyone after seeing what happened with Gage and Dr. E.

Emily just left her husband of 10 years and went to stay with her Uncle Jeff for a while.

What happens when the chemistry is to hot to handle? Can Venom walk away from what could be the best thing that has happened to him in a long time?

Amazing read. It’s fun, action packed and sexy. It will suck you in from the beginning to end with its twists and turns. Emily is sassy and spunky. Venom is sexy and can’t help but fall in love with him. The connection and chemistry between them is off the charts hot! This story is not to be missed.

I ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!!!
Alana never ceases to amaze me. This series blows me away. Venom was always so quiet in the earlier books but now getting an up close and personal look at him it's like HOLY MOTHER OF HOTNESS My Kitty just caught on fire. Lol. He's sex walking with a big long stick. When he first meets Emily it's obvious he's instantly attracted to her. I love her character instantly. Alana as always has the ability to describe her characters and the scenery so well that I feel as if I'm watching a movie. I can almost feel the characters emotions coming off the pages. The chemistry between Venom and Emily is off the charts smokin hot. I can totally understand Emily's hesitation in giving in to Venom although that alone shows her strength. When Alana is describing the snakes I got chills up my back just picturing it in my mind. I love how the Death Dwellers are a bunch of strangers that become a close knit family, closer than most true blood families. At times my heart was breaking for Emily knowing all she'd gone through and that asshole ex of hers got what he deserved. I love it when at their divorce hearing Emily gets to rub the bastards nose it it. The more confident she becomes the more beautiful she becomes. Venom is the epitome of the badass alpha biker and oh what an alpha he is. If you haven't read this series then you have no idea what you're missing. IT'S FREAKIN AMAZING! I EXTREMELY recommend this series to everyone.
