Ace

Devil's Nightmare MC #9

by Lena Bourne

ACE is a full-length, standalone ninth book in the steamy and suspenseful MC Romance series - Devil's Nightmare MC - by Lena Bourne. No Cliffhanger, HEA Guaranteed!

Stormi

I messed up. I stole from the wrong people, and now they’re keeping me as a slave until I work off my debt. Which will be never. I’d run away, but the danger that they’ll find me is too great, and, worse, they might find my sister too. She’s been at death’s door since the day she was born, and I won’t do anything to speed it along. She shouldn’t have to pay for my mistakes.

When a hot stranger joins the MC keeping me hostage, he’s full of kind words and smiles for me. It’s so different to the way I’ve been treated day and night for the past six months that it’s not hard to fall for him. I’ve never been the type of woman to need a man for anything, and I’ve always made my own way. But he might be my only chance to escape this life alive.

Only, I’m too much of a danger to him, and I won’t risk the people I love paying for my mistakes.

Ace

The job Cross sent me on was simple—get cozy with the leaders of Roadside Sinners MC and find out which one of them has been snitching to the cops. Less than a day into the job, I’m already messing up. Her name is Stormi, she’s club property, and one of the guys I’m supposed to be making friends with is fixated on her. There’s not just one good reason why I should stay as far away from her as possible, there’s many. But I’ve never been good at tempering lust with logic, and she’s not a woman I want for just one night. The longer I spend with her, the surer I am that I want her for all the nights of my life.

But she’s not available and I’ve got a job to do. Failing could shorten not only my life, but the lives of all my brothers. That’s what I should be focused on. The only thing I should be focused on.

But try as I might, Stormi’s soft curves, warm touch and sad eyes make it impossible.

Ace was the ninth book in the Devil’s Nightmare MC series by Lena Bourne.

Ace began exactly where the previous book, Ink, left off. Ace went in undercover in an MC in Ink’s hometown, the Roadside Sinner’s. The Devil’s Nightmare MC suspected the Sinners were working with the Feds to bring down rival MC’s, including the Devil’s. I really enjoyed Ace. He was honorable, loyal, sexy and alpha all in one.

Stormi had crossed the wrong MC and was now their prisoner. If she escaped, her family would be in danger, so she stayed for every moment of physical abuse and slave labor. Until a spark of hope came when a stranger began hanging around the MC. He was different and helped her to remember the fight she still had within.

I enjoyed Ace the most of the series so far. It was action packed, suspenseful and kept me turning the pages quickly. The MC conflict had been building for several books and was finally coming to a conclusion. I enjoyed how it played out; however, it ended too abruptly and it needed a few more details - even if in an epilogue.

Hopefully we’ll see more of Ace, Stormi and the MC conflicts in future books. Until then, I’m looking forward to Colt next in book ten.

I would have went for 5 stars, but the end felt rushed and incomplete. It dragged and then picked up speed and just ended. No real conclusion and lots of unanswered questions. The story is rough and gritty. Very MC heavy, reality MC, not the romantic versions you sometimes get. There is lots of stuff going on. Stormi is one tough cookie and really stepped in some crap to get herself in a bad spot. She goes through hell. Ace is smart on his feet and up for the challenge. Again the reality of club first comes into play with the relationship.

If you can slug through the first 3 chapters it is worth the read. The end just doesn’t close the circle for me.

Received an ARC from the author for an honest review.

Every time this author has a new book coming out, I see myself getting anxious about the waiting.
Her books have stolen my heart and I always want more. And guess the genre she writes? Guess?
MC... Of course. Lol. My favorite so it's perfectly reasonable to feel like this.
Lena Bourne knows how to spike my curiosity. She knows how to make my heart race.
So what better way to calm my nerves than reading?
Ace is her latest release and it's the 9th book from the Devil's Nightmare MC series.
This series is one of my favorite and I advise you to read all the books. Just open your mind and heart and welcome this family.
It explores the lives of Ace and Stormi.
Stormi's freedom ended the night she saw herself abducted by some member of an MC. She and her friends stole from them and the only outcome they had was to be killed. But instead, she and her friend were made slaves...
Ace will do whatever it takes to protect his brothers and family. He'll fight and even die for them if it's necessary.
When he's given the takes to infiltrate himself with a rival MC...
Sweet, perfect, raw, intense and so freaking awesome.
This lady knows how to deliver amazing stories.
Perfect plot, super engaging, surrounded by darkness, desire and drama.
It was amazing to witness their struggles, their fights.
I was mesmerized by some of the scenes.
Despite all the bad things that happened, the conclusion of this book erases it all.
I loved how everything worked.
It was perfect and I didn't want it to end.
This book made me miss the other characters from this series.
Lena... Uau woman. What a book.I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Keeps You On Edge.. Intensity At It's Best!!!

Ace: Devil's Nightmare MC : Book 9
By Lena Bourne. 5 Stars*****

Are you ready to get your blood pumping, your palms sweating, your insides a bubbling mess and have you blushing red? If yes then this is the book to read!!,
It will keep you on edge the whole way through!!!
The intensity was off the charts!!!

Outlaw bikers vs Dangerous bikers, Feds, Snitches, and a woman who stole from the wrong person collide in the most energizing story.
Things get way more complicated when Ace, the spy amoungst the wolves, cover gets blown, but that just takes it up another notch in excitement and tension...

One of my best parts was when Ace, bad boy to the bone, ends up being a bright light for Stormi. Sigh, and I understand why she did what she did for I would of did it too.

I've decided I need to grab the previous books in this series since this is the 9th book of it, lol, I loved this one so much I've got to see if they are as intense and exciting!! I think I've found me a new author I definitely will keep an eye on.

I have voluntarily read and I'm voluntarily leaving a review of this book.

[Shirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book. The only reason it's not a five star read is the same as always. I quick wrapped up ending with too many little questions. You know the one's we rarely get answers to in the next books in the series. Can't say what they are because I would be giving away too much of the story.

Stormi and her BFF and her boyfriend made a huge mistake and now they are paying for it. She is ready to just give up and run away and if they catch her and kill her so be it. All she wants is to get back home and help her sister get the money to hopefully be able to have life saving surgery.

Ace is sent into an enemy MC to gather information. Someone has been not only talking to the police but to the feds. That is a big no no in the MC world. He gets involved with this MC and the biggest part of the mystery is who is the snitch? While trying to figure that out he and Stormi get to know each other but she can't know who he really is. Can he pull this off long enough to find out who's the snitch and what is Stormi going to think when she finds out the truth? Can she make it out of there and get home? Read to find out.

This series is for adults only due to graphic sex, language and violence.

To begin, a warning…this is not for the faint of heart. It is not warm and fuzzy. It is gritty and harsh. It took me a couple of chapters to get past the horrible and violent circumstances that pose as the backdrop and drama of this MC romance. Their connection is immediate but, they are in the worst of situations to think about happy endings. Stormi is their Roadside Sinners MC’s prisoner and Ace is undercover from Devil’s Nightmare MC to get to the bottom of their snitching to the Feds. I have to continue to praise Lena Bourne on her amazing ability to write and create characters so vividly. The range of upsetting emotions to surface while reading and the utter despair that Stormi exhibits makes for an intense read. The bright spot is the ray of hope between Stormi and Ace. They find something they never experienced before with each other and they need to hold on to that for as long as they live which, is always in question.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ace is embedded with the Sinners to find out who is snitching to the feds.
Stormi is a slave to the Sinners after she stole money from them
The attraction between Stormi and Ace is instant.
This story is one that will have you turning the pages to see if these two can get together, who the snitch is, and how will this end.
I enjoyed this MC book. Stormi is a character you can like. She is trying to make a better life for her sick twin sister. Her sister needs money to see a specialist, thus she stole some.
You'll enjoy Horse and Piston are two horrible characters that you will be amazed have lived thus long in the MC world with how inept they are. Their father is a big reason they are alive.
You'll enjoy this book and it was goid to see the Devil's Nightmare MC back.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review

[S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stormi has been dealt with a bad hand all throughout her life and the worst hand happens to put in the path of Ace and things will surely look up when they set eyes on each other, but unfortunately that is not how life it.

Ace a man after my own heart.

Misti she deserves all the goodness in this world.

Horse and Piston are mighty pitiful characters while Piston could be likeable in his childish way of liking to please, Horse is a despicable human with too much hate in him and not helped at all by a father that puts them down every chance he gets. That is until you get to the end of the book and you will have no mercy of either as their sins are in as aptly as they MC is named.

Brilliant addition to the series

[Alina · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fast paced forbidden love romance with all the bells and whistles for this style. Bad boy meets girl. Girl is in a perilous situation were she is forbidden fruit. Guy tries to avoid girl, but at last... guy can't keep his hands off of girl. Drama and danger ensue.
I'm not bashing it, I enjoyed it! Even recommended it, but I recognize the patterns of these novels. Doesn't mean I still don't enjoy them once and awhile and this author somehow still makes these types of books still attractive and enjoyable for me. I genuinely love this series she has cooked up of bad boy bikers finding love in hopeless places. If this is your type of romance, than hop right in and enjoy. Great writing and a steamy, drama filled story. You can't pass that up!

[LeeAnn Lewis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series and Book 9 didn't let me down. Ace and Stormi's story is full os suspense from the beginning to the end. Stormi is serving time with the Sinner's MC after stealing money from them. Ace is sent in undercover to discover who is snitching on local MC's to the Feds. Ace takes one look at Stormi and knows that there is something different about her and after their first night together, he can't get her off his mind. He is willing to put his life on the line for her, but can she learn to truly trust him. This can be read as a stand alone, but if you read this one first, you'll want to go back and read the rest of the series. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Cris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh wow! I love the Devil's Nightmare MC series! Lena Bourne's books are outstanding! In this installment of the series, Ace, a Devil's Nightmare member, is sent in undercover with a rival club. While he's there he meets Stormi, who's more or less a slave to the club because of stupid choices done for extremely unselfish reasons. This book is full of sex, intrigue, excitement and attraction...it's great! Once again Ms. Bourne blew me away with one of her stories! Great job Ms. Bourne, can't wait to see what your more than vivid imagination will come up with next. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

[Beverly · Rating 5 out of 5]

House acted like a jealous coward bully much of the story. So immature! Ace came in like a protector and savior for Stormi, but so many obstacles must be overcome! Strange how you can make yourself believe what you need to survive. Brenda saying Piston was sorry about Josh, and it was an accident! Who are you kidding, or is it your brain tumor acting up again!! Back and forth, twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat, not sure if my hero and heroine would survive it all. Backstabbing and cover ups non stop. A bloody emotional action packed journey you don't want to miss. Check it out! NOW.

[Linda Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love a good MC romance. Those tough bikers with a soft side for the ones they love get to me every time.

This one features a woman who tried to do the right thing for her sister but got caught stealing from the wrong people. Her punishment is doing whatever they want to her.

He has his own assignment and shouldn't be distracted by her but he can't resist. Their chemistry is very strong from the first. It is a hard road for them and you root for them to find a way to be together.

It is a good read for MC fans like me and delivers quite a ride.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

[Anita Hanekom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lena Bourne never fails to impress me with her multitude of MC romances and Ace rates pretty highly on my list of favourites. The characters are flawlessly crafted and are just so beautifully flawed which makes them that much more relatable as real people. Ms Bourne takes characters (namely the outlaw bikers) who are people most everyone would tend to avoid and turn them into, dare I say, friends but if not that then at least sympathetic characters. The story of Ace and Stormi is one that will captivate you from start to finish. There are twists and turns, passion aplenty, danger and excitement abound.

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always a brilliant book in this series.
Ace has been sent undercover in the Sinners mc to find a snitch but he didn't expect to lose his heart to one of their women.
Stormi has been a slave for the Sinners since she stole from them and she knows that the only way she will leave is when they eventually kill her.
I loved their chemistry but will she be his undoing or can he keep them both safe.
Brilliant storyline with so many twists and turns but an even better ending.
Can't wait for more from this author.

[Lynne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ace’s story is the 9th Devil’s book in the series. Infiltrating another club to seek the Feds snitches, he finds Stormi. This chick & a few friends cheated the MC out of some cash. She lived by being a slave to the MC. Sparks fly between Stormi & Ace. Together they must find their way out of the club & help Ace’s MC. The story has the usual club business, takes care of said business & the couple gets their hea. I did think the end was kind of fast & left some empty spots. Still looking forward to the next book, and more of the Devil’s members & families.

[Ann L · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love me some Devils, and this is a fantastic fast paced, action packed, page turning, danger filled read that I devoured in one sitting.
Cross has tasked Ace with a job, infiltrate the Sinners and find out who is snitching to the Feds, easy, until Stormi enters the picture, there is something about her that calls to him, but danger too.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The beginning of this story is a bit shocking - tense to say the least. It certainly sets the tone and maybe a warning would be helpful. I wasn’t sure if the violence was too much for me. I am a self admitted sissy. Stormi is the Roadside Sinners MC’s prisoner and Ace is undercover from Devil’s Nightmare MC to get to the bottom of their snitching to the Feds. Lena can write like no body else. This story is violent in parts, tense and was difficult to read but it was so well written.

[Rebecca Voelker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this MC series. As with the other books, Ace is a hard member that only softened up with the love of a certain woman. And, as usual, the woman is in need of some help. How Lena can come up with so many different scenarios and make them enthralling impresses the hell out of me. This book can certainly be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the entire series.

I liked this entertaining book with rival MCs, a woman in a precarious situation after stealing and getting caught. A rival MC member undercover who falls for the captive and the dangers and twists these two face. Formulaic but entertaining. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

What a rollercoaster ride! What a captivating enthralling story, that is not for the faint of heart!!! You will be living the story along with the amazing characters and you can't help yourself but be immersed in the action. Great characters and amazing story, this is another winner for Lena Bourne . I honestly volunteered to review this story.

Who doesn't love a good biker romance

Not my favorite in this series Ace and Stormi definitely had chemistry and the story had good pace. I struggled a bit with the septic relationship the boys had with Griff their dad, after all he had risked for them it felt like he would have wanted better for them.

[Reggie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read. Stormi becomes a slave to an MC after stealing money from one of the members. Her reason was noble…she wanted to pay for her twin sister’s life saving medical procedure…but that didn’t save her from the MC. Enter Ace…undercover from his own MC. The pair are attracted ti each other. Will they survive retribution from the MC to have an HEA?

[Crystal Wilke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story filled with drama, action and steamy moments. Ace goes undercover for his MC but things take a turn. Stormi does the unthinkable and ends up making a deal with the devil to save her life. Ace falls for Stormi. Can he save himself and Stormi?

Ace is trying to get into the MC to spy on them for his club. He expects to get in and out. What he doesn't expect is to find Stormi. Stormi is in debt to the MC...she does whatever they ask. This was a good addition to Lena's MC books.
