There's a threat inside the compound. I don't take threats lightly. I zero in on the newest girl that one of the guys brought in. Too many coincidences for me. She shows up, so do cops? No, there is something about her that I don't like. Until there's more about her that I do like. One touch of her and I'm done for. Now I want more but I can't have her. When things go south, she has to go. But can I accept that she's gone?
I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.
I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.
I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with.

ღ This about Two tortured souls fighting for a place to fit in.
➦Draven & Lia this book took me Lil longer then I prefer, not Cuz it was a bad read. No on the contrary. I was just bit under the weather is all … this is amazing read.
💞Don’t you just love it when you can find bit of everything in your MC story, danger, murder, betrayals, lots of steamy scenes, we even found some bad cops & so much more.
♥●• Draven has a deep fear of commitment after what happen in his life
💞. All of these guys have a history & we all know that whatever it is , it change them in some way or another. Taby was Draven past & yes she changed him. She walked away when he couldn’t give her what she needed. Now every woman has paid the price since Taby…. Make matters worse Draven’s home life before the he got patch in wasn’t much better… His father was abusive & his mother was an addict. That only left Draven to take care of his younger brother…..So you can say Draven hasn’t had an easy life.
➦Draven is now a cold; heartless killer & the club believes there a rat in the clubhouse. It’s his job to flush out the rat
➦What’s a man gonna to do when cops raid the club & Shipments are being attacked. You look to the new person & guess who wearing those shoes (Lia)
➦He know his place is in the Soulless Bastards but he can’t help but want Lia to be a part of that with him.
➦This series is written from Draven POV I’ll be honest I was not sure of that at first. I am still on the fence about that – but hey that’s me … besides Smokey’s book was the same way
➦Another great book to the So Cal Soulless Bastards MC world. I can’t wait to see where Erin Trejo take us with Ruger.
➦📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion

----------- Happy Reading -----------
📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion
I actually really enjoyed this book! It had a bit of mystery thrown into the dark and sexy read! While I felt all of the previous books had way more sex and not as much story... this one delivered way more story to it than sex! Don’t get me wrong, I love the sexual encounters that I read, but having a great story as well definitely ups my enjoyment factor in a huge way!
I do have to say that I am a bit surprised that the NO Cal Chapter members aren’t coming across as the major hardass bastards they were portrayed as in the SO Cal Chapter series... I expected an even darker bunch of books but so far that hasn’t been the case! Ruger’s story is next and he did some hardcore things in the other books... which means I am expecting him to be rude and crude! lol!
Draven loves to deal out pain and torture and that happens to be his forte within the Soulless Bas*ards MC. The club finds out that there is a rat within the clubhouse and they need to find out who it is and fast. One suspect is Lia who was just brought to the clubhouse by a member who they also believe could be the snitch.
When Draven has given up on giving his heart to someone who is changing his world he has to decide if he should torture Lia for info or take her to bed.
This is another winner for Ms. Trejo who knows how to give you an MC romance that pulls you in from the very beginning and has you guessing the whole way through.
Erin Trejo is one author that brings me a book that is emotional but never loses its edge. This series just gets better with every new book. This book was gritty, emotional, passionate, sexy, dramatic, and full of hot Soulless Bastards MC So Cal men and women. I loved every single word in this book. The struggle that Draven faces while protecting his club and wanting someone he shouldn't. The chemistry between Lia and Draven is smoking hot off the page. This story is one that is dark at times but the brotherhood of this group of men is one that intrigues the reader and keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. I loved this book so much. I can't wait for more from this series, as it is fastly becoming my favorite!!! HIGHLY Recommended!!!
Ok now this was an awesome book for me. You have your sinfully loveable alpha male and the damsel in this mess. Though this type of story has been written many times this book actually reads like one would have a conversation with themselves or others. I love that the author didn't put redundant phases in the story everytime a person had a conversation with themselves or others making every other paragraph mean the same thing. This book was a fantastic read so if you like men who do bad things for good reasons check this out.
Freaking fantastic!!! Can't wait for the next book... Erin Trejo knows how to write a great MC book... Rough, tough, sexy badass bikers who think they have no souls left and don't how to love or want to love or be loved...or do they? Read to find out,.....
Title: Draven: Soulless Bastards MC So Cal Author: Erin Trejo Editor: Elfwerks Editing Genre: Contemporary MC Romance **RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
Erin Trejo has proven she has what it takes to be a dominating force in the macro romance genre. She is able to bring forth a character's mirth and wit then just as easily turn the tables and write a character who can be cruel, aggressive, domineering, and bad for everyone. Trejo has proven she doesn't need to write MC to give her audience an alpha Male and his "wounded" woman, but let's face it, the masses like MC romances.
Draven and the Soulless are just that, on the outside, soulless. Blood and killing ain't no problem for these guys. Lia at first is like a lamb to the slaughter. She seems so innocent which makes Draven feel something is off about her. And, in typical romance fashion, when their eyes lock a connection is formed and the game is afoot.
Okay, this book is written only from Draven's POV. I feel that hurts the story. Because even though we learn a little about his past we don't really learn anything. He becomes this "monster"...ok, explain the bloodlust. When Lia "sees" him not just his persona we need the emotion from both parties. It needs to be explained. I feel if you are going to say it in the book then give the reader more. Give them depth. Give them emotion. Give them the feels I know for a fact this author can give.
I feel this book lacked true feeling. I feel all it did was gloss over Draven's and Lia's relationship as well as the SBMC in general and their interpersonal relationships. I kinda felt like this book was soulless. Sorry. Still love you Erin.
Hold on tight because you are in for a rough ride with this book. Wonderfully written storyline that will captivate you and hold you prisoner until you reach the end, Draven certainly packs a punch. There is a rat in the MC and Draven and his brothers are searching for him/her. Her?? Yes, and Draven has his eyes set on Ria, the woman Ratt brought into the club with him. Something's off about her and Draven is all in for finding out just what it is. She's a cop, has to be and he will certainly enjoy finding out that truth. But when the club is raided, everything the thought he would see didn't happen. What he did see was fear in her eyes. Every sign he was looking for to confirm his belief that she was the rat crumble at his feet. Now what was he going to do? She is still hiding something from him and he still does not trust her. Time to play hardball with this one. He will break her and he will get her secrets out of her, one way or another.
The characters were remarkably written and quite complex. Draven is a hard man, lethal and cruel. Lia is a beauty in her own way and is caught in the middle of a huge mess, one that no matter which way she turns will cost her her life. Her past is catching up to her and she has nowhere left to hide. So when Ratt told her to come with him, she went, right from the frying pan and straight into the fire. Only this fire is made up of the heat that Draven packs and he packs a whole lot of heat, and she enjoys the burn.
A fantastic read that will have you turning pages faster than Draven rides! Excitement, intrigue, mystery, mayhem and raw passion all make this book the enticing ride that it is, but remember, it is quite a rough ride so hold on. I highly recommend that you grab this book quickly and jump in with both feet!
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. This is this second story of the Soulless Bastards MC So Cal and by far this is going to be another great series by Erin Trejo. This story has everything you want in an MC story, danger, murder, betrayals, lots of steam, bad cops and much more. We are introduced to Draven who is a cold, heartless, bad sexy alpha biker as well as the killer for the club, he gave his heart away once but never again. When he meets Lia a scared little thing who is on the run for her life at the club house things don't go well, he knows she is hiding something and he thinks she maybe the rat the club is trying to flush out and he is going to be the one to intimidate her as only Draven can, but the more they are together the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. Will Lia place her trust in Draven and allow him to help her? Now he has to try and save her as well as not betraying his brothers. This story will take you on one wild ride with all of the twists and turns that take place as all of the pieces come together. Lia has found a place in Draven's heart that he never saw coming. This is a must read and can't wait to see what happens next to the men of the Soulless Bastards MC So Cal. I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed.
Draven is a fast-paced and addictive book as well as the latest installment to The Souless Bastards MC. Ms. Trejo, I, personally think that your imaginative mind has created a masterpiece for each of us MC fans. I am impatiently awaiting the next installment to this amazingly and dramatically crafted MC Series.
Draven has his Club, his Brothers, in the Souless Bastards MC, as well as the emptiness in his heart. Everything changes when he first sets his eyes on Lia. It is truly astonishing how fast this story takes off and keeps on keeping you glued, to your e-reader, until the very end. This is one of those terrifically designed books that you never want to see end, however, you just have to see what happens next. There is so much creativity and talent displayed by Ms. Trejo. He's fighting for his Club, and she's running for her life, but when the two coincide... all hell breaks loose. There's drama, insanely hot chemistry, and secrets galore in this dramatic read.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader's copy of Draven in exchange for my honest/voluntarily given opinion and I couldn't recommend this book any more than I already have. I know you're going to love it and be as addicted to this series as I am. I can not wait for the next installment.
I just finished Draven and I have to say that Erin Trejo never disappoints. I was worried about how dark these stories might get as I don't often read a lot of dark stories but I knew I had to give it a go because I totally love Erin Trejo and everything she writes. And it has been the best decision I've made yet 😉 ... Draven pulls you in with his darkness and Lia is just perfect for him... The amount of commitment they each have for their families is awesome ... I loved the spitfire attitude that is all Lia ... Draven's all of nothing when it comes to protecting those he loves... I also loved the relationship Draven has with his blood brother... Opposites they are but yet the love they have for each other is obvious... Thank you Erin Trejo for sharing your remarkable talent .... I can't wait for Ruger 😱 I feel like the peeks of him you have already given us will pale in comparison to his story.... For some reason when I say "twisted" he comes to mind. ...😁
Erin Trejo writes some of the best MC romance and “Draven” is no exception. Draven is a cold, cruel seemly heartless member of the Soulless Baststrds MC but he does have a soft spot in his heart for his brother. It goes without saying that he loves the Soulless Bastards and would do anything for the them. There is a rat in the club and he is determined to flush him/her out. Shipments are being attacked and then the cops raid the club house. Who could it be? Draven is set on finding the rat and meting out punishment. There is a new girl Lia brought in by another member of the Soulless Bastards. She is hiding something. Is she an undercover cop? Who is she working for? How could Draven be attracted to Lia the possible spy? This story is teeming with action, intrigue, danger, betrayal, passion, and yes love. “Draven” is an incredible, fast-paced story that you must read. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Erin Trejo never fails. She always makes me want to jump through my phone and smack a jerk!!
Draven hasn’t had an easy life. His father was abusive and his mother was an addict, leaving him to lookout for his baby brother. When he patched in to the Soulless Bastards MC he finally found a purpose in life. That is until a feisty young woman walks into the clubhouse and ignites something deep within in.
Lia lost most of her family years ago and has been on the run since only to find herself in even more trouble with the SBMC. Now she has nowhere to run, no one she can truly trust until Draven sets his eyes on her.
There is a rat within the SBMC that is trying to take the club down while getting what they think they are owed but of course the guys won’t let that happen. While trying to catch a rat, lines will be crossed, hearts will be broken and there are a LOT of angry men!! 🖤🖤
Just WOW!!! Book 2 of this series is everything I thought it would be and then some. The author has given us a dark sexy suspenseful MC storyline that will keep you captivated.
Draven is a hardcore, tough, heartless biker that will protect his MC brothers before everything and right now there is a threat inside the club and he plans on finding and eliminating it MC style. But who is it? Draven is leary of several new members and MC bunnies; one in particular, Lia. She has secrets that are her own, her actions spell trouble and Draven plans on finding out what those secrets are. He plans to use his darkness to weaken her, but Lia has a pull on Draven all her own. Who wins the tug of war? Is Lia the rat? Will Draven have to kill the only thing that has brought him a spark of light?
Draven a dark mc romance that will sissle your insides while holding you captive with the suspenseful action. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 thrilling stars! I can’t recommend enough - so I’ll simply say, Grab it NOW!
This author is new to me and I am needing to catch up on past books but I am all in for this series. Holy smokes, a girl has got to give a MC man a chance, always at least once. But for those that read these style books solely or more constantly, what kind of mess does Lia get into. This MC is looking for their internal rat and being the new girl to show up and then having the cops come. Disaster! However, Lia captures Draven's attention and well, its a wild ride after that. This book is written from Draven's POV which I was not sure of at first. Please keep this in mind when reading because as much detail that you get and learn from rattling around in his thoughts, sometimes they are not complete and you feel left hanging. Another great book to the So Cal Soulless Bastards MC world.
Well it's already been established that these fools fit their club name and have no problems handling their business kicking butt and taking no prisoners, hell the even have a dungeon to do it in. On the hunt for a mole, narrowing down the suspects Draven is ready to go buck wild when a new face shows up and sets off his inner alarm. Loosing his lady love has given him an excuse to be the ruthless bas$ard he has become. Lies, secrets, greed and an itch that needs scratching lead to discoveries. Just how deep the deception runs. Heads will roll and of course with this author there will be violence and death. These guys live up to their name loud and proud to protect their club and have no problem taking down anyone who threatens their women, children or their lifestyle. Hold on cause it's gonna be a wild passionate ride to this hea and it wont be easy.
He is the cold hearted member of the MC who gets the answers by any means and the MC has a rat and he will find out who it is and he will use any meas necessary and if that means torture then so be it His suspicions are raised when a new girl is brought into the club by a brother and then the cops turn up is she the rat or is someone else Lia is on Draven's watch list only problem is he doesn't know whether to torture her or take her to bed and he isn't used to been so confused especially not by a woman. Once again Erin has written a dark gritty story with not only steam but suspense and drama to keep you turning the pages as fast as you can
Erin Trejo’s writings are getting better and better with each book that she writes, and Draven is no exception. From the first page to the last, i was hooked and my attention was held. The club finds out that it has a rat and they give the task to Draven to find out who. He goes to the new girl, whose presence is making him uncomfortable. This is because there is something about her that has his feelings and Hearst coming back to life. Needless to say they find out who the rat is and its someone that the club trusts and who is close to her. Together they stop him and figure out that they are better together then apart. A truly great read, i can not wait for the next one.
This story starts out strong. Draven appears heartless. Except for his brother there does not seem to be anyone who really affects him. The Lia enters. That changes the tone of the story. The flow remains consistent and kept my attention. I was not surprised by the whole part about Ratt. I liked how the author brought out the caring part of Draven with his brother and Lia. I am also glad that Lia is a strong personality. No other would have worked. I like how the brothers were opposite yet similar. Sort of walking both sides of a coin. I look forward to who will be next in the series.
Draven is the second book in the Soulless Bastards MC So Cal series. I suggest beginning with Smokey to get the full story of these ruthless men. Draven knows Lia has secrets and he’s going to stop at nothing to get to the truth. These two are dynamite together! Lia is mouthy and strong. Draven is fierce and violent. Their story is one of lies and deception, written in the dark and raw way Ms Trejo excels at. My only con is the numerous grammatical errors. Misspelled words, contradictions used unnecessarily, and run on sentences distract from the story.
Oh wow! After reading Smokey, the first book in this series, I was waiting for Draven's book and thankfully I was not disappointed. The Soulless Bastards MC So Cal series resembles their No Cal brothers in so many ways, but the So Cal stories are much grittier. Their guys are rougher around the edges, more violent and a lot less tolerant of the females in their lives. That being said, they're still absolutely spellbinding. We met Draven in Smokey's book and as much as I loved Smokey, I really like Draven better. He's vicious and a self proclaimed monster, but he loves hard and when he falls for Lia he falls hard. Typical Erin Trejo read...exciting, sexy, great alpha male characters and tough female lead...loved it! Looking forward to Ruger...he's definitely going to set the pages of that book on fire! Thanks for the terrific read Ms. Trejo, can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Things got a little intense between these pages . Draven and Lia had lots of pent up sexual chemistry from all the denial of feelings going on between them. I always enjoy the fact Erin's men have such hard exteriors, but they have bleeding hearts underneath all that scarring and Draven is no exception .What i loved the most was the mystery unfolding before my eyes as we learned all of Lia and Draven's secrets. That all wrapped up in the Drama , suspense and heartbreak kept me intrigued till the end .
Draven and Lia take you on heart pounding, exciting and heartbreaking read. Both of their past haunt them and make them untrusting and weary. While Draven tries to figure her out and Lia tries to keep her secrets hidden they are on a dangerous game of who is lying and who is tellingthe truth and what will they do to get to the truth of and weed out all the lies? Amazing read could not put it down. With all the twist and turns and each word you read you want more and more. Can't wait to read the next one.
When something feels off you go with your gut, well for Draven that’s the understatement of the year. He can look into the eyes of someone and just know. And with the Club and all the shit that’s been hitting the fan, what’s next. Well when Ratt strolls into the club with a girl in tow Draven’s eyes seek her out and that gut feeling is back with a vengeance. Something about this girl has him thinking she’s up to no good. But that lust he has for her will come at a price for sure. Something just unsettling in him and he has to find out what that is since it’s his family, Club on the line. And time will tell when it gets here. Trying to get the answers while in the Dungeon comes as a shock to find not only a rat is in the Club but a cop as well. And all eyes turn to Lia. What will happen when the truth in unraveled and who will be lost. Calling his blood brother James, Draven needs more info and he has tried to get it out of her, but nothing is slipping. When the club gets raided and the guys are watching the cops Draven thinks he will find answers but only more walls. And he’s pissed when they are handcuffed as taken in. What the hell is going on and who the hell is the rat. And why now and why his club. Will the answers be the ones he is looking for and will the truth of what is going on with Lia be reached. Well grab your copy and enjoy the ride. You will not expect this outcome.
