Lost Valkyries MC #4
Paris
Lyra - He just threatened to kill my own father in an effort to show how much I mean to him. The man I just met. The man who stands up for me without fear of anyone.
Paris - There's only one who carries the promise to expel your darkest fear. One they hire to deal with an enemy they can't face alone. That one? That's me.
Paris might relate to the city of love, but for Lyra it's also the name of the biker that claimed her, as well as her heart. Coincidence brought them together, but will love at first sight be enough to withstand the danger and consequences they have to face?
**Books in the Lost Valkyries MC series will each be a standalone, short story romance. Every book is passion to love at warp speed. Grip your heart because it's going to be a fast ride...so be warned!**
***Previously published in the "From Paris With Love" Around the World With Love Anthology Series***

I will be the first to admit that Esther Schmidt can pump out a great MC story. She keeps it edgy and you can't stop once you start. Paris was a great hero. He saw Lyra and that was it. Noone else would do. I also liked that even though Lyra could hold her own, she was not in your face, brazenly alpha. I like the heroines to have a softness and Lyra showed that.
-no cheating
-no ow/om drama
-no pushing away
-no violence of a sexual nature
-great epilogue that was 9 years out which made me very happy
-good secondary characters. I'm curious if others will get a story. I would be interested to see which ones. I'm not crazy about Titan or Jerome because I dont want to see my hero being with anyone other than their heroine so fingers crossed. (BOTH were with the heroines bff Beatrice)

Passionate and very possessive Paris is my favorite member of the Lost Valkyries MC and when he meets feisty Lyra he finds his one! Loved this couple... exciting read with the Mafia included. Hope Titan's story is next since he will be heading to the USA soon.

Wow, I absolutely loved this. I have to say that Paris is one of my favorite H's. I love how he is with the h and I love that we don't have to see either with anyone else. Great read.

When the President of Valkyries MC meets the daughter of a mafia boss, there are sparkles and a little bit of violence! Cupid strikes fast and Paris fell in love with Lyra! Such a sweet story, I really enjoyed it!

I was completely lost into this story. I wish there was more of Paris and Lyra, because they both were awesome. Lyra was kickass girl. And you can take that literaly too. And Paris.... I'm kinda lost for words to describe that man. He was just perfection.

Instalove has never looked so hot and delicious!!
Lyra is the ultimate kick @$$ female lead. She knocks the breath out of Paris with just one fight. Paris might have to learn a thing or two from her.
Paris is taking over for his father being the president of the Lost Valkyries.
These two have intense chemistry that is so easy to see just how possible it is to fall in love.
It's a must read for MC romance fans. The storyline is excellent even for a short novella.

3.5 ⭐
Pretty okay and i enjoyed it with some good steam.
Paris is now President in another MC chapter and is waiting for his VP to well stop fucking a random girl in the bathroom. But thats where he meets his woman Lyra is sassy and stubborn and knows how to handle her own. Plus shes a good friend who doesn't judge when her friend is starting to sleeping around (thanks to that ex that said she sucks in bed poor bestie). Now she got Paris on her and wanting her to be his old lady. And he is alpha about it not letting his woman go. He also sees first hand how well she can handle herself. As they deal with some drama and her family.
I hope theirs no drama with the best friend and the guys she slept with. Good thing Titain left that Chapter and moved to another. I wonder if Beatrice shall get a book maybe with the first guy Jerome?
No ow/om drama, no cheating, Drama, slight secondary chara, sexy times, virgin gal and so far not a manwhore? celebite for few weeks
Recommend- yes
Cover-⭐⭐
Instalove/lust
No condom
Violence
Safeish

Love this amazing series♡Hopefully Jerome or Titan is next.Loved Paris and Lyra s Amazing beautiful love story.

Freaking awesome.
This author knows how to write edgy, fast paces gritty MC Stories that you just can't help falling in love with.
This one was no different. Paris had no clue what hit him with Lyra. She is stunning, she can take care of herself and she doesn't let anyone walk all over her.
Paris returns home to Paris France after spending time in America with the Lost Valkyries Chapter. He is mourning the death of this father and he is taking over as the president of the MC. So you know there is no room for anything else. Well except for the women that he can't believe just took out 3 of the men who is trying to take him out. WTH... lol
Paris knows that he has met the women of his dreams and even though he's not ready for all these feelings that is taking over he knows that he will get his women!! But is this what Lyra wants???
Freaking awesome story. I need more of this series. It was funny, had loads of action and totally hot and steamy sex scenes. What more do you need?

I so love The Lost Valkyries series, this one is set in Paris
France hence why he was given the name by the Lost Valkyries In the US charter. The instant love between Paris and Lyra is undeniable from the start, Paris is the president of the MC Charter in France he’s a true alpha, but meeting Lyra a woman very capable Of look after herself and protect those around as well which shocked Paris
But also turns him on. The story is well written and so full for a short Enjoyable read. I can’t ever get enough of Esther’s hot alpha sexy men.

Jesus wept when Esther E Schmidt started creating masterpiece's because her work sorry word's are truly sinfully addictive.
Paris and Lyra, who as a plus size woman (according to society) want a fierce love story that not only rocks her world but gives it purpose and clarity.
Love this series so far and all her other work's, pretty sure this much insight and talent should be made illegal....

Paris is book 4 in the amazing Lost Valkyries MC series written by the talented Esther E. Schmidt. It's a standalone, fast pace story romance about Paris and Lyra. They're such strong characters and their chemistry was off the charts. I couldn't put this book down. Love this series and so far this book is my favorite. I highly recommend reading this story. I can't wait to see what Esther write next!!!
June 21, 2018
Out of all of the books in this series this is my favorite. Paris and Lyra are a match made in Paris and instantly fell in love with both of them. This book is is a quick read with some MC goodness and insta-love. I'm excited for what's next!
July 2, 2018
This was the cutest little love story I have read so far this summer. I just loved how Paris took over and was the man Lyra needed and stood up for her when it come right down to it. I was able to read this in one sitting and had such a book and insta love high that I didnt want to came back down.

Paris... ooh la la
This story was a quick and satisfying read that manages to leave you feeling satisfied after you've finish reading it. People always say, "my only complaint was, that I wish it was longer". I'm not going to complain, so I will say, my only compliment is that I wish it was longer. Paris and Lyra were both badas$. I like how there was no back and forth about their relationship. Paris knew right away that Lyra was his and Lyra knew right away that Paris was hers. If you've ever read the book Ford by this author you know how crazy and badas$ Ford and Tarzan are. This couple reminded me of them. I love when both the H and the h are badas$es. I can't wait to read more about the other members of the Lost Valkyries MC.

What a page turner. I was turning over my device hoping there was more on the back of it. In this latest instalment of the Lost Valkyries which can be read as a stand alone, you will never guess what is coming. Normally I can get a sixth sense but I was so wrong in this book. It was a thrilling, sexy, and one bad a$$ sexy alpha who know how to take care of his girl and most importantly can keep her safe at all costs. With that being said Lyra is not someone to be trifled with. If you do you might end up flat on your back.

Paris

A chance encounter with a rival MC and Lyra helps has him hooked. These two are the perfect balance of each other and I can’t wait for the next member to find his girl!!!’

This story is set in Paris, France. An accidental meeting changes the lives of Paris, the new President of the Lost Valkyries MC, French Charter, after his father was murdered three weeks prior and Lyra, a girl who knows how to handle herself!

What an awesome short
Paris and Lyra come together fast , hard, and hot. Once they dispense with the threat to Paris’ MC and her interfering father, they live the life they’ve always wanted, but thought they’d never have.
Loved it..even though the book is short, you feel the connection between Paris and Lyra. Definitely worth the read.

Good story.
Good characters and an okay storyline not my favorite of the series so far.
Paris which we got a small taste of in the last book is back in Paris and falls instantly for the kick ass Lyra.
All up an okay read good if your following the series but not really necessary and you wont miss anything.
I will be continuing on with the next book.

A great quick read with plenty of steam and some action. Throw in a woman who literally kicks butt and doesn't shy away from the harsher side of MC life and a man confident enough to let her do it, and you have a match made in Paris.
