Neither This, Nor That #4
Trapped by Fate on Reckless Roads
“Got your back,” is more than a saying in Retro’s world. Standing united as a club is a given, and loyalty is held as a standard of brotherhood. Forgiveness for transgressions, however, does not come easily, or ever in some cases. Retro’s only demand for his brothers is honor and integrity, and his belief is that everything else will fall into place behind those qualities. He is not wrong.
Full
In the rough realm of bikers, there are no shortcuts to win a place among the old guard. It’s a world where respect can only be earned, trust is painfully gained, and loyalty will be fiercely returned.
Jerry Rogers lived his life bound to those firm tenets which anchored his brotherhood. MHL&R was more than a patch on a leather cut, it ran thick as blood through Retro’s veins as he worked to better things for his club, and family.
Locked for years in a loveless marriage, Retro still found a sense of pleasure and peace knowing he’d at least always done his best to buffer their children from his single mistake.
Confronted by evidence that what happened in the past wouldn’t remain quietly buried any longer, Retro embarks on what might become his most important journey down memory lane. One that can only end in blood…and death.

Audio 5 ++++ Stars Kirt Graves...sexilious listening 💥
Story 5 Stars ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not really a fan of Motorcycle Club romances, insta love or OTT drama, buuuuttttt I freaking love how this author makes it all work! And her couples are always so swoon worthy 😍. The relationships are full of love, devotion, adoration and RESPECT. It's not one sided, and there's no game playing.
The combination of MariaLisa deMora's writing and Kirt Graves performance is absolutely bewitching. I wish the entire series was on audio so that I could binge.

Wow I thought that PoBoys book was awesome but it is tame compared to Retro's book.
We have all the clubs, including Mason , Fury, and Hoss making an appearance, we have the cartel, and the Russian mob but we also have love strong love that yes it moves fast but it is a right as rain.
Trina and Retro are up in some of my top couples I love that this writer has shared.
His kids have my heart and I can not wait for you all to read this book.

Eeeep! Ok, so the ending...I’m on pins and needles. Retro and Trina’s story may be over, but so much was left open for what may befall the BBMC brothers. I find myself wanting and SO ready for more - like NOW!
Trapped by Fate on Reckless Roads is another testament to what an incredible writer MariaLisa deMora is. Her storytelling always exceeds my expectations and I consider her a Queen of character development. Before I reach half way through any of her stories I always feel like I’ve lived their life and that just leaves me fulfilled as I follow along in their life journey. Because she doesn’t just write about the romance, but of their friends and family as well as the lives that drive the choices they make that ultimately leads up to the people that become when they find that soulmate. She never fails to totally immerse me into the pages of every tale she tells.
With Retro and Trina, their love is a true whirlwind love story. Smitten at first glance, Retro finds himself wanting to know anything and everything about the beauty that came out of nowhere; especially when he wasn’t looking. But their insta-love was beautiful and sweet and Retro was all sexiness, kind, gentle, protective and loving from the get-go. He was such an honorable man, I lost count of how many times he made me swoon. Which is not surprising. MariaLisa deMora has a knack of writing amazing heroes that I can help fall in love with. There’s no way the female characters stand a chance.
I can’t even begin to describe how this story swept me away from the moment I started reading. The full spectrum of emotions I felt...I loved it and I didn’t want it to end.
I have been a fan of this author since reading Mica and have since devoured EVERY book thereafter and this book was another incredible journey through the eyes of her magnificent characters.

Trina and Retro’s story pulled me in from the get go! I enjoyed the set up to where it ended. I always love how MariaLisa pulls other characters in from her other MC books. Just adds so much to the series!
I can’t wait for more. Loved how it ended. She always leaves me wanting and impatiently waiting!

Trapped by Fate On Reckless Roads (Neither this, Nor that #4) by Marialisa deMora is Retro's story. He is the President of the Bama Bastards. We have met him in not only in the Neither this, Nor that series but also from the Rebel Wayfarers. Tired of his loveless marriage to the mother of his children he has decided to call it quits. His children are his life but he knows he and them deserve better. One night at a strip club he finds Katrina aka Trina coming out of a room in tears. Retro is instantly mesmerized by her and intends to make her his ole lady. Trina is a sweet girl who is just trying to live her life while taking care of her mother. A cute tale about their budding relationship, Retro
being a father as well as the head of a MC and a past that rears it's ugly head. I have mixed feelings regarding the story. Loved the mixing of the different MC's and the characters from the author's previous books. Loved Retro to pieces. He is a good man, very sexy , smooth talker and his long hair makes me swoon. And the topper is he is the ultimate father. This story was the best out of the previous books. My problem was there were some secrets that were revealed in the story which were addressed in a way that had me scratching my head. It was like the issue was left out there.In spite of that fact I really enjoyed Retro and Trina. Am curious as to where the author will go next with the next book. Kinda left in a lurch. A 4 star read for me.

I really enjoyed getting to know RETRO. In some ways he gave me the (squee) MASON-feeling. I adore MASON! For sure however; RETRO is his own character as only Ms. deMora can write her MC Series men and women. Then throw in the rather mysterious TRINA and this book took off like a lightning bug on a starry night.
This particular group of MC Men are very unique, in some interesting ways. Nothing repeating nor boring about one single MC man or his woman. The one rather unsettling thing in this book was RETRO stating how TRINA was his and his alone and then he endeavors to share a bit of her 'charms', even if it was visually and possibly a bit more in RETRO’s mind alone. This drove me to raising my voice to RETRO though.....telling him he just finished declaring the woman his alone. Otherwise, the ensuing 'scene' was well written. I'm over 60; maybe it was too much for my heart.....LOL.
All in all this book is fabulous in reading entertainment. We've got HOT MC guys who are brave and steady in their devotion to their president and club. We also have some happenings going on with other friendly, and maybe not so friendly MCs. We got a bit of MASON, too! Moving back in time a bit......I'm anxious to see where this book will chronologically fit into the whole of Ms. deMora's current, and extensive MC Series books - which are all interconnected...... We may not figure this all out until the final book is released. Why does it matter to me? Because I will then go back and reread the whole Library of books when I can read them in a certain order! Gives me reason to piece it all together, again and again!
I am very much looking forward to 'Thunderstruck (Neither This Nor That Book 5)' which will be out in just a few days! WILDMAN'......he's intriguing. I know it'll be a short book, and we’ll see what 'WILDMAN' is about. I feel Ms. deMora has switched into a higher gear of writing so I'm hoping it won't be long before another book, even a short one, will be released for this greedy reader's eyes.
Thank you.

4.5 star
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, twists & turns, secrets, and heartbreak.
Before reading this story you might want to read the below that are also in this series
Twisted Penny (Neither This, Nor That, #0.5)
This Is The Route Of Twisted Pain (Neither This, Nor That, #1)
Treading the Traitor's Path: Out Bad (Neither This, Nor That, #2)
Shelter My Heart (Neither This Nor That #3)
This is Trina and Retro’s story. Retro is the president of his club. He takes care of the family in the club and out of the club. His club contains only the men he would trust with his life and the life of both his families. But is it enough when he needs that trust and help? Will his brothers stand beside him in his time of need or will he lose some of them? If you have read other books by this author, you will recognize some names from those books. This book has it all – love, club business, family, brotherhood, mob ties, cartel, and danger. Can the MC handle all the danger? Or will this be the end of everything?
I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book.

Review by Erin:
This book was ssooooo good! I am a huge fan of this author. I know what I am going to get every time. I am going to get a dirty talking, protective, alpha male. I am going to get a sassy woman with no problem standing up for herself and others. The plot twists and surprises are where she keeps me guessing. And boy does she know how to throw in some doozies. This story kept me hooked from the start. The characters are incredible and kept me thoroughly engaged in their interactions. There were some cameo appearances from some of my favorite people ever!!! The storyline had just the right amount of drama and plot twists to demand all of my attention. And just a side note: the chemistry between Retro and Trina is off the charts hot. Please be warned that you will be hot and bothered, often. Enjoy!!! I know I did!!

I love this Author soooo hard!!! I am totally in love with Retro and Trina, mostly Retro lol. This is what love is supposed to be like, in your face, panty dropping kisses, all out trust. Once you start reading MariaLisa`s books, you will be thrown in to a world of characters that become family. You feel each and every one of their stories and they become your heart, feeling it in your soul. I cant wait for the next one in this series. I have a multitude of scenarios in my head for what's to come, mainly with Einstein. With all that being said, you will become hooked on her writings, look her up on Facebook, we have our own little family gathering.

Damn..it took me like halfway into the book to finally remember Jerry Rogers AKA Retro! Yeah he’s Hoss’s brother, but I knew that..what took me forever to remember was that he was the one who saved Hoss’s son when he was a child..before Faynez came into the picture! That’s what happens when so many awesome characters and clubs interact in each other’s series! It’s nice to see old characters...Mason, Fury, Hoss*..but it tends to get confusing...I always welcome that though because I love those characters!
Anyway...the Bama Bastards...cool club...kinky members...not a bad thing...kept the book super spicy. I really enjoyed Retro and Trina’s story, they were really cute together though Retro was super repetitive in saying his feelings and intentions towards Trina. It’s like yeah you saw, you wanted, you took..you lurvvvve her! We get it dude, you don’t have to keep repeating it...like constantly...he actually became a bit predictable when him and Trina were in the same room. Made for a bit of dry reading in those parts...
With that being said, there was plenty going on in this book to keep me engaged! We have the IMC, Cobos and RW clubs making an appearance! I love me some Mason though I care deeply for the others too!;o) I thought that Trina had Ties to Clara but as it turns out it was Retro who did. I’m not sure how I feel about him keeping that secret to himself, a part of me wants him to get to know this person but another part agrees with him keeping this information close to his heart. Maybe he’ll be ready to meet him someday...(I’m being purposely vague so as to not ruin the story for any future readers..)
Overall it was an enjoyable and page turning read, with the exception of the repetitiveness I liked it a lot. Though I will call bullshit on Retro not liking women in high heels! If Trina walked into a room wearing absolutely nothing but a pair of 4,5, or even 6 inch heels..i’m 100% positive Retro will either die of cardiac arrest or jump her bones for the next couple of hours...shoes and everything..things like that drive men crazy...lol!
*These characters are from the Rebel Wayfarers MC Series...awesome series! One of my top favorites! Y’all should definitely check it out as MdM did a wonderful job with that series! It’s quite spectacular!

Amazing
MariaLisa has another winner. Retro has been popping up throughout her books and now he has his own story . I love how I felt a part of the action. She keeps one on their toes for plot twists. Loved everything. Hard to put down and go to work. And now onto Wildman.

Trapped by Fate on Reckless Roads: Neither This Nor That #4 Audio
This is the story of Retro, President of the Bama Bastards MC. He and his men are the kings of information in the MC world and this story follows from the other NTNT books with some cross over with Mason from RWMC, another MariaLisa MC world.
Listening to Kris Graves read this book is so enjoyable. His ability to change range from male to female and change octaves and tones for different males and females is astonishing. He even does a great Philly intonation for Dancer/Einstein. I continued to mimic his southern drawl for hours after listening.
Sit back and enjoy this telling of a great story with a great voice.

I'm giving it 5 stars because I love love love Retro but there were times while reading that I would have given it less stars. I'm not sure what it was - perhaps it was Trina - she's sweet and kind but she was too agreeable - not much of a backbone except for at the end with Wanda. It was great to have some very familiar characters involved ie. Mason, Fury and Hoss. As far as Retro he was just as wonderful as I thought he would be. He's kind and loving but he can be a hard ass when needed. I loved how he was with his kids. That ending threw me for a loop? Is there another book coming about Einstein?

I loved this book!
After reading the other books in this series I couldn't wait to find out more about Retro!
We aren't really good much about Retro leading into this book aside from him having a lot of influence and that there is an issue at home. The questions former while reading the other books in this series are answered and more. Just when I thought I had this story figured out something else would be unveiled. I couldn't out this book down!

As I get further into this series I keep wondering what took me so long to read. Each book gets better than the one before, great writing, really loved Retro's story.

I am in a bit of a conundrum with this book. I did love the story line and the characters, but something seemed a bit off for me. It was like a roller coaster ride but not in a good way. I'm not saying this was not a good read because it was. But the highs weren't very high and the lows were just, not enough. I loved the insta-love between the two lead characters, I loved his devotion and love for his children, the love and loyalty to his brothers (blood and MC), as well as his devotion to his woman. I loved seeing some of the characters from the previous books as well. The story line had some excitement that grabbed you and held you captive, but it was short lived. The heat between the lead characters sizzled on the pages, bringing you to your own boiling point. I did love how Trina handled Retro's ex Wanda however. She showed her true strength in that scene, as well as her loyalty and devotion to the man she loves and his children.
I do recommend this read.

Trapped By Fate on Reckless Roads has us taking a ride with Retro full of twists and turns. A story of family, loyalty, pasts intertwined and finally a love that will be worth the wait. As Retro and Trina cross paths a connection and pull to each other will have information being sourced and an unexpected happiness finally being felt. Their story has you hanging on for the long haul as secrets are revealed, sparks fly and chemistry ignites. As magic is weaved within the pages and Retro gives us the words to fill in the blanks you will be given an entertaining, heartfelt, witty story that has passion, drama, grit and pure heart. Be prepared because the ride in the Neither This, Nor That is far from over.

This is review that will take a bit of expiration I’m afraid. I want to start by saying I loved the characters. The insta-love between Retro and Trina was hot and exciting. Retro’s love for Trina, his kids and his men of his MC was amazing to read. Plus getting to meet up with the guys from former books, Twisted, Po’Boy, Wrench, Penny and so on, was a fantastic treat as well. Add all that with a great storyline and you have an awesome read that I highly recommend.
But, I would be remiss if I didn’t also say the story had a few what I term slow spots. They by NO MEANS took away from my overall enjoyment of the book, but I feel the need to mention it in Hopes that if anyone hits those “slow spots”’ they don’t stop reading. The storyline will leave you breathless in spots, on the edge in others and the end will leave you excited and anxious for the next book in the series.
This is a good addition to the series and I give it 2 Thumbs Up and 4 great stars.
But, I would be remiss if I didn’t also say the story had a few what I term slow spots.

This book.....Wow!
First, I love this series...I mean kinda unnaturally LURVVVV this series, so I was way ready for Retro to hit my hands! I tell ya though, he wasn't what i expected. Not exactly. I mean I thought I knew in my head what kind of a man he was and I was close, but he was....more. He was so much bigger and badder and just better than I ever expected...and I expected a lot !
Twisted and Po'boy, they have their own way of handling problems that arise. Those men? Those men are forces of nature! Those men are like storms sweepin every obstacle in their path before them to get to where they're going!
Retro? His storm follows a different path.
His strengths are many and his character is remarkable and he is unbelievably SWOONY!
MariaLisa DeMora knocked it out of the friggin park with THIS man and just wait till you see him with His Love!
This series just keeps getting better with every word these men give ML to pass along.
Do yourself a favor and start from where they start....
Book 1, 'This Is The Route of Twisted Pain'
Book 2, 'Treading the Traitor's Path: Out Bad'
Book 3, 'Shelter My Heart'
Book 4, 'Trapped by Fate on Reckless Roads'
Book 5, 'Thunderstruck' (due out Jan. 28th)
WORTH EVERY SINGLE SECOND!

Retro Finds His Dream
This is another installment of NTMT Series. This deals with Retro and his Bama Bastards MC. Love how Retro was portrayed. God, I want to find a man like him. This was such a love story but it also was about two people finding themselves completed in each other's arms. Excellent book but it ends this story about Retro and Trina, but leaves a cliffhanger about another new character that was introduced in this book. Thank God the next book is out and I don't have to wait. Love, love, love how MariaLisa deMora writes, she just captures my attention from first sentence a nd nothing else exists until I'm done.

I love Retro and Trina's story. The first time I read it I just fell in love with them, but when I listen to it on Audible, with Kirt Graves narrating it was outstanding and put a lot of feelings into this amazing story and series. This series is going to be one of my reread/relisten for sure.
