Hot action filled MC read

Tova, is the Hade’s Horsemen club princess and lives in the same apartment block where three women have been murdered. When she refuses to move, her brother, MC Club President, orders Slade, his VP to stay with her.

Holy crap. In spite of everything else going on around them, the chemistry between Slade and Tova is off the charts hot and I’m damn near shifting in my seat the entire time!!! Slade is extra on the hot and alpha, and, Good Lord, I’m wishing I was Tova!

I love everything about the way VR Baucke has written this story. The writing is fast paced and witty, and the b!tchy prose from Tova as she deals with having Slade in her space, and his frustrated and angry-man-pants reactions make for awesome reading. My favourite scene is for me, the most romantic moment in the book and it’s in the single decision to wear a t-shirt. I swear I heard angels sing in my ears as my heart melted.

VR is a new to me author, and I can’t tell you enough how rapt I am to have found another author of this talent. Just wow. I’m going to be reading more from her, that’s for sure. 5 Stars and a dead-set recommendation that anyone who loves MC or romantic suspense reads, needs to get into this book.

Got to love a surprise release by an author specially when the book that is released is a five star ⭐️ read that had you drawn in and simply enthralled from the first page. Slade, what a ride, what a journey. With twists and turns that had me saying what the hell as I sat on the edge of my seat wanting to know what on earth was happening and what was going to happen next. Slade the super hot alpha VP and Tova the sassy, feisty and badass heroine were a burning sexy fire together! I loved it! I loved it even more to learn this is just the beginning of this MC series. I can’t wait to see what comes next!!!

Slade and Tova's story was just the right amount of grit, dirty, suspense and romance to have you enraptured by their ride. A story that captured your attention with the sass and attitude that radiated from Tova and the strength, power and heart that discharged from Slade. These two were like fire and gasoline when they were in the same room, so you felt the chemistry, the want and the devotion that was lodged soul deep. The ride for these two was full of twists, turns, road blocks and surprises but when the open road became visible and these two leaned into the turn with practice precision you knew their hearts were forever claimed.

Wow!! For a first attempt at MC, VR did an amazing job. Slade is a rough around the edges biker and Tova is the club "Princess" and everyone knows you don't touch the club Princess... but apparently Slade forgot that rule after he and Tova are forced to stay together after a madman shows up in town and people start getting hurt.
But their undeniable attraction and chemistry is the least of their worries when the carnage lands in their backyard...
There are a few surprises along the way but these two will have you hooked from start to finish and leave you wanting more of not just them but their world...

Another awesome read by this author. This was first published in the Dirty Dozen: MC edition anthology. I never wanted to put it down. Tova and Slade will pull you in and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Tova Costello is the sister of the Hades Horsemen MC President who lives in an apartment block where three women get murdered. Slade is the lucky MC brother who ends up with the job of protecting her.

I need more and I can't wait for the rest of the series. I totally recommend you you read this book.

Tova Costello, sister of the Hades Horsemen MC President, lives in an apartment block where three women get murdered. Slade is the lucky MC brother who ends up with the job of protecting her. Their mutual infatuation heats things up as the murderer fires up his agenda too.

Slade, ah, I have to say there were times I could have cheerfully slapped him upside the head 😂 but I did like him a lot.

I absolutely loved the raw, gritty feel to this story; it pulls you in from the beginning and keeps you tied up hostage until the end. What an exciting ride you take when reading this story and one I totally recommend you hop on as soon as possible.

Ready for more, this MC will leave you in a state of ecstasy.

Slade is one of those books you pick up then realise you’ve finished before you’re even ready for it to end.
VR Baucke has nailed this MC! In my opinion it’s rough perfection. Rough being the ruthless, sassy and very bold characters. The nail biting storyline with so much edge you might as well be in the story too. I hands down love Slade and Tova and am very excited for what’s to come of this new series.
Loyalties get pushed, hearts get confused and worlds collide in this amazing world.

I highly recommend.

Hellfire and Brimstone...and that's just the characters

Tova, hard nosed, hard working, hard woman. Slade, motorcycle gang member, sex on wheels. When Tova's in trouble, her brother sends Slade to keep her safe. Instead fireworks explode as this fiery couple take on each other. Some might call it a match made in heaven, or hell.
Great characters, I love Tova's attitude, Slades no nonsense nature and the world of Hades Horsemen MC.
Now, we just need more in this series...

Good book.

This story line is good. But I’m not for insta love. I like angsty books with more meat. That saying, I’ve read all the books by Vi Summers on my Kindle this weekend and know the great potential of this author. I would not read this again , but I would def. read all this authors future books.

This is one of those books that you can't predict what is going to happen next, but boy howdy are there some twists that are SO unexpected!
If you like MC books, this is one for sure you should read!
