Being the new VP of the Royal Bastards MC, Detroit Chapter, has given me everything I’ve ever needed in life; A family, A brotherhood, and an outlet for my rage. They call me Chrome. Not only for the way I care about my bike, but also because they know my heart is impenetrable.


Cameron, or Cam as she’s known to the club, is our leather guru. I’ve never met a woman so detailed and skilled in her craft, and when I find myself in need of her talents, I also find myself in need of her beneath me.


When a revelation from my personal life comes out and my loyalty to the club is questioned, Cam’s the first one to stand her ground for me, making me question everything I’ve ever known about my own heart.


Will she be there as my entire life falls apart around me, or am I destined to lose everything, including my sanity?

I loved Chrome and Cameron! Right from the beginning they had some major chemistry and sex appeal. I love all the BDSM elements mixed in with the MC stuff. You wouldn't think it would go so perfectly but it does.
This whole series with all the authors has thoroughly impressed me! I have read K Websters duet, Shannons duet, Misty Walkers duet and I am going to read Ker Dukey's duet next. I am in AWE of how talented ALL of these authors are that have participated in this and I hope I can get time to read every single book because they ALL have been 5 stars so far!
I love these gruff, alpha, sexy dominant men!!!

Loved it!!
Now just waiting on more Royal Bastards MC series to be published.

Chrome came to the Royal Bastards just as a teenager. He was homeless and they took him in and turned him into a man. The man has a lot of Rage in him and it's sometimes hard to turn off. Nobody even the president, his best friend, knows where he came from. He has his secrets.

Cameron is the lady who is the clubs leather maker. She makes anything from their cuts to the leather items in their sex club. She tells herself that she hates Chrome. Chrome just wants to hookup with her. No girlfriend or old lady for him. All that is doing is inviting trouble.

His president has to go out of town and he is in charge but he is distracted because where the pres is going is to where he is from.... where his secrets are.

When it comes out can his president and best friend forgive him or is his secrets too much forgive?

Great book

Love the Royal Bastards, can't get enough of all the stories and how they intertwine. You grow to love the characters, their interactions with others, and this story is no different. Secrets, they can help us grow or if you leave them in the dark they can harm as well. Can an attraction, and intense sexual chemistry grow to love. This book has all that plus plenty of action and even a kidnapping, well worth your time to read.

Dark and steamy this is a very raw story. There were a few scenes that were difficult to read (not overly graphic, just raw) but over all I really enjoyed the story. The way these two characters played off each other, how they hovered n each other's lives really made the romance feel true and strong. I liked the MC club and the way the Brother's interact and I liked the plot. I think this is a nice addition to any MC collection.

Chrome has a deep, dark secret that he’s kept to himself for years. Now there’s a chance it may come out and he’s afraid it could turn his brothers against him. His only bright light is the sister of a prospect that does Leather work for them. As the VP of the Detroit chapter of the RBMC, Chrome is left in charge of the club while his president goes to New Orleans to deal with an issue. When Silver returns Chrome’s whole live is turned upside down and he is left reeling.

Leather is the sister of a TBone a prospect in the Detroit chapter of the RBMC. She owns a leather smith shop and does work for a lot of MC’s and other individuals creating leather items that they special order. The RBMC’s BDSM club they run, she is the person they go to for repairs and new items to replace old worn-out items in the club. She tries to act like Chrome is just another man and not someone that she would like to get to know better.

I loved this story, while it was heartbreaking at parts, it was a wonderful story of how family always has your back, no matter what. While Chrome is trying to hide, and Silver is angry at him, there is still a strong bond between these two and that will not be broken. Leather is Chrome’s light and his strength; he just hasn’t realized it. When these two finally accept their feelings for each other and commit to each other, there is nothing they can’t do. With the danger lurking and the RBMC backing Chrome, he will get his woman back and his club back. I give this story a 5-star review and now I have to read more of the Detroit, MI RBMC books. These ladies just keep drawing me into this world one book at a time and there is no escape. I have loved every book I’ve read and can’t get enough of these guys.

Noah 'Chrome' Braxton is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC in Detroit MI. He has secrets he's been keeping from his brothers and it may cost him everything. His club is everything to him, his family.

Cameron makes custom leather goods and supplies the Royal Bastards. She may like Chrome but she's going to do her best to avoid him, even if her brother is a prospect at his club.

When Silver goes out of town Chrome is left in charge and he finally makes his move on Cameron. After his world implodes she's the one that stands with him.

There's a lot of great MC stuff in this read but it was a bit choppy reading for me and some scenes didn't seem to match that character.

Content warning: There is BDSM scenes but they are glossed over with few details. However there is graphic violence and a rape scene that may be difficult for some readers.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/

I enjoyed this addition to the Detroit Chapter of the RBMC. This is Chrome’s story and the author has given us a well written storyline with suspense, twists and romance. I loved the characters - Chrome has secrets that could cause major issues for himself and his club. He finds himself wanting the prospect’s sister, Cameron, a girl that makes leather goods. She tries to fight the pull he has on her as she has heard things. But that turns out to be easier said than done.

Very good storyline that kept me engrossed until the very end. I recommend grabbing it up ASAP, but please know it’s not for the faint of heart. Parts of the book may not be easy to read and may be triggers for some.

Hot Alpha Alert

Oh how I love Chrome. He is such an interesting character with a dark past and a no-shits-given attitude...until Cameron. Hes had his eye on her, she wants nothing to to with him. Desperation eventually breaks her stance and the fire between them is burning hot. There is danger, betrayal and secrets and Chrome is the leading cause of it. When his secret is uncovered there is anger and hurt but when Camerons life is in danger all anger is pushed aside to safe her.

This is a great addition to the Royal Bastards Series and I was hooked instantly. Awesome read!

Chrome is the VP of his club but he ends up abandoning everything when his secrets come to light.
Cameron is an artist with leather and does varios jobs for the MC, also her brother is a prospect.
When Silver goes to NOLA to deal with Rancid, Chrome takes over.
Chrome and Cameron ends up having a 🔥🔥🔥encounter but it ends up abruptly when Chrome has to deal with a problem involving another woman.
Cameron leaves him with a 💔, but Chrome ends up finding refuge in her when he thinks all is lost.
❤️the end and I’m hoping to read more about Noah and Ian.

A thrill of a read. I could not put this book down until the very last page was read and then I wanted/needed more. It moves along at a pace which makes for an enjoyable read, neither too fast nor too slow. The characters are amazing, you cannot help but love them and by the end of the book you feel as though you know them. the story grabs you and keeps you reading till the end and then you need more. This book needs to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it.

I just can't believe that the Tiffany situation was not dealt with. That's going to bit them in the ass soon.

However, I recognize the story line of the twin. I thought that I had read that in another book? Are stories being recycled and rewritten? I'm I jyst getting confused about it because the twin story had already been touched upon??

If you know the answers please fill me on!!!!!!

Chrome and Cameron are perfect. They dance around each other like no other. Chrome has his demons and his secrets but Cameron can take it. The MC is his home but his secrets might just destroy everything. Excellent writing. Fabulous storyline.

This was a great addition to the series. It has some dark themes that may be triggering to some and throws in some BDSM kink to mix it up too. I liked the chemistry between Chrome and Cameron as it seems there were sparks there from the very beginning. There is drama and suspense and angst to round everything up.

The chemistry between Cam and Chrome is HOT!!!! But it is so much more than that and when his loyalty to the club is questioned, she is the first to have his back.

This book didn't seem to have the brutal violence that the first book had in regards to gore. There were still signs of brutality but it was tempered. Instead, this book had the characters make more of a connection. I liked that.

I devoured the pages of this paperback in one short evening. There was a secret that I had to learn. There was a chemistry I couldn't ignore and a bond that intrigued me. This book is not for the faint of heart. Some descriptive, crude and dangerous situations. If you're in to MC, you'll love this story!
I bought this paperback directly from the author at Committed in Louisville 2021.

A story that grabs your attention from the beginning. This is a read you'll want to consume. It'll have you turning pages. This one's a bit dark, raw, gritty, full of action, and has a bit of revelation you wouldn't expect. Chrome and Cameron's story is a must read. Definitely recommend.

Really loved this book. One of the best out of the whole rbmc series!

You think its going to be a standard storyline but then it surprises you. Which in biker mc world is nowadays very unusual for starters!! Didnt see the surprise coming at all.

Add in two strong characters who are so damn likeable and you have the makings for a great book.

New to this author which is fab for me cos I have a whole back catalogue to go and devour.

Love her writing style, pace etc.

Secrets are never a good thing, they always have a way of coming to the surface. Chrome has a big secret he's been keeping for 20 years. He's VP to Silver and he doesn't even know. There's plenty of action, tears and truth. HEA.
