They call her Princess. Growing up in a Motorcycle Club isn’t easy; growing up as the daughter of the president of the MC molded Esmee into the reckless and hardheaded woman she is. A complete dynamite, fighting for her place in a man’s world.
As a CIA agent, Cullen thrives on law and order. When he is charged with investigating the MC, he quickly realizes the Princess will be his way in. Yet, once he’s infiltrated, she leaves him no other option but to deviate from the path of law and order, and to see justice within reason.

This author knows how to write short MC stories that's filled with romance action, suspense and steamy scenes. Esmee is the MC princess and so you know she is a bada**. She's feisty and takes no prisoners. When Cullen starts following her she thinks this is a great chance for him to see how the MC works. She also can't deny that they have an attraction.
This story was a second generation one from the Broken Deeds MC and definitely had me hooked. I loved Esmee she was awesome. And Cullen well he had to work a bit harder to get my affections😂 Like I said short sweet but still packed a mean punch. I can't wait to Rea more of the second generation books💖
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
They call her Princess. Growing up in a Motorcycle Club isn't easy.; growin up as the daughter of the president of the MC molded Esmee into the reckless and hardheaded woman she is. A complete dynamite, fighting for her place in her man's world. As A CIA agent, Cullen thrives on law and order. When he is charged with investigating the MC, he quickly realizes the Princess will be his way in. Yet, once he's infiltrated, she leaves him no other option but to deviate from the path of law and order, and to see justice within reason.
This book is nonstop action form the very beginning to the very end. You are going to love the time you get to spend with Esmee and Cullen. She is the Princess of the MC. Born and raised and is as tough as nail and can handle any man and his crap. However when she meets Cullen he knows that it is the beginning of his way into the MC. He also sees that here is a side to Esmee that isn't all hard and MC Princess. She has this soft side. What will happen when a MC Princess and man sworn to protect and serve end up in the same place? You have to read to find out. It is a book that will keep you on your toes, that's for sure.
None stop action from beginning to end! The twist and turns in this book will keep you from wanting to put this book down. I did not see that ending coming!! Esmee is the MC Princess, even though she hates that nickname! She was raised in the MC and she can definitely stand up to any man and does not take crap from anyone. I loved her loyalty to the MC and the way she talked about the MC to Cullen. Cullen, CIA agent knew something was fishy when he took the case from the beginning and could not deny his feelings for Esmee. Even though on the outside Esmee appeared hard and rough, Cullen saw right through it and knew there was a softness to her. I loved how Cullen broke down her walls and treated her like she always wanted a man to treat her. Cullen was that silent comfort that Esmee needed in her life especially growing up around MC Bikers all her life. I loved how Esther brought in another character from a different MC of her's, you will have to read to find out but cannot wait for that book! The new generation on Broken Deeds MC is starting out to be a great series!!!
I'm a huge NEWish fan of Esther E. Schmidt. While I'm not familiar with Corinne Michaels words (I do know her!) or her Salvation series, I am a sucker of a sexy, steamy, suspenseful, alpha male romance plus this author. Esther E. Schmidt didn't disappoint for a single moment with this brilliant new story, keeping me on the edge of my seat, racing through the pages the. entire. time.
DEVIATED was crazzzzzzy good y'all and Cullen and Esmee, all the heart eyes and swoon for them. These two sucked me in hard, captivated me on every single page, and didn't let me go until long after the words stopped flowing. I mean a by-the-book CIA agent and a biker princess? Obliterated y'all.
Fast, intense, unputdownable, unforgettable in ALL the ways. Deviated took me on a wild ride and I devoured every single moment.
This is Esmee’s story . She is the daughter of Lips and Deeds. This is a second gen story . I loved this one because Esmee was a strong woman . She wasn’t an Ol Lady and she wasn’t an MC member because women couldn’t be . This left her somewhat on the outside of the MC even though she was so skilled she could take most of the men . She ends up on a case with a CIA agent who believes every case should go by the book. The MC way that Esmee has been raised in is to skirt the law as long as it solves the case . Cullen and Esmee butt heads but sparks fly . Their chemistry is on fire . This is a must read for anyone who wants a feisty, strong, heroine and an alpha delicious hero .
Gah I absolutely loved this story. I have just sat and read this in one sitting.
Esmee is a superb main character. Strong and sassy she can certainly hold her own even in the mans world she grew up in. Loved Cullen and how he let her be her.
Love love love how this author combined two worlds.

Love love love how this author combined two worlds.
I really loved the dynamic between Cullen and Esmee (and the Twilight link between their names didn't hurt)! I liked seeing Cullen step into his father's shoes, and we got another glimpse into the Cole Security world. The only reason I could not give it 5 stars was the disconnect between this story and Makenna's. I read Makenna's first, and I wish the authors had communicated their storylines, so that they wouldn't have been in opposition to one another. I'm sure I'm not the only one reading all of the Salvation Society books, so it would've been nice to see them all be in sync with one another.
Another hit from Esther. Honestly, I always go in, knowing I will have a wild ride and enjoy every second of it. Though, at the beginning, I wasn't sure how I feel about Cullen. Our views was different. He seemed to only see black and white, while I liked grey area. Cullen was all about laws and rules. And while I agree its needed, otherwise it be a chaos, but someone as Broken Deeds are needed too. Esmee... That girl is a badass. Love when h is like that.
Fast paced read. MC meets CIA/private security. This is a spin-off of the Broken Deeds series but you don’t need to have read it to read Deviated. Alpha hero and a feisty heroine are explosive together.
THE REVIEW FOR THE BOOK DEVIATED BY ESTHER E. SCHMIDT.
Growing up in an Mc club is not easy for a girl. Being the president's daughter Esmee has never given the chance to prove herself to the men. Cullen is a CIA agent who is given the responsibility to investigate the MC. He is the guy loyal to his job just like Esmee loyal to her club. They both are from totally different world but are suddenly thrust together to figure out who is playig with them behind the curtain.
This is an amazing novel merging MC with military. The female was such a badass sassy queen. The witty spanter between both this charater was so hilarious to read. This follows total enemies to lovers trope. No insta love ...but a slow emotionally dragging sequence. Romance with action and suspense filled to the brim. I have not yet had the pleasure to Esther E. Schmidt's books but after reading this I am going to start with broken deeds series as soon as possible. We also got some cameos from the salvation world series of Corrine Michaels. Amazing series to binge.
Not completely surprise the direction the author went with this novel as she seems to enjoy writing MC romances. The heroine is the princess of the club but isn’t any ordinary club. These are the guys you call in when you want to skirt the fine line and get justice done. Emee loves being the midst of things but after a mission went wrong. She has been sidelined by her father and she isn’t happen. Toss in a CIA agent that is come to sneak out more information about sidelining her and Esmee isn’t happy. Cullen been asked to report on the Broken Deed club which he isn’t totally happy about. He believes that they should toe the line like any other law official. However isn’t that simple because Esmee isn’t going to let Cullen sidetrack her any further. There is explosion when these two met and honestly for most of the book is these trying to avoid the tension in the room. It not easy given that these two are basically trying to do the same thing and coming at it from different ends and wanting different outcomes.
It takes Esmee to her limits before she realises what she is missing and Cullen provided to her that he could handle this princess and give her everything she dreams of and more .
This is a great lead up to the second generation of the Broken Deeds MC. The MC is under pressure from the higher ups in their business contracts, who think that they are coloring to far out side the lines to get their jobs done. Estee is like a a Club Princess, and hard headed as they come. She’s angry, because she isn’t being treated right for the work she does for the club. She’s not an old lady, nor is she a patched member of the club, she the in between person, and its messing with her head. She always does what is asked of her no matter what it is, she deciding of a career change. Cullen,is tasked with being the watch dog of the MC and to use any means necessary to get the info he needs. This is where he starts to use Estee for an inside person, without her knowing. Sparks fly and tempers flare,, but a growing relationship between the club and Cullens family business, starts to take place. It is a bumpy ride to say the lease. It’s instant hate, that is leading and growing into respect and love between Estee and Cullen. They have to learn to work and live together in order to take out a serial killer , who is closer then anyone thought.
Oh. My. Days! What a ride! No pun intended as, if you didnt know, this crosses over with the Broken Deeds MC. Yes! 2nd Generation!! And if that isnt it enough, it's inspired by the Salvation Series by Corinne Michaels! I loved Esmee (Deeds and Lips daughter) from the get-go! She is strong, independent, sassy and badass AF. She is pissed when after a report is made by Cullen, she is benched from working jobs for the MC. She is also dealing with a loss, that broke my heart. When Cullen starts to following her, she thinks that this may be an opportunity for him to see how the Broken Deeds work. But she won't make it easy for him, despite the obvious chemistry between them. Hawt!!!! Anywho, I hate giving spoilers so I won't but this book had me on the edge of my freaking seat! Like you would not believe! The suspense had my anxiety through the roof and apparently I have developed a new reading tic!! Lol! All totally worth it!! I highly recommend that you add this to your tbr, one click, whatever! YOU need this book!!
Ohhhhh this was good- like really good! Just thinking about it gave me chills - what a really freaking good story! This is my first book by the author, but it makes me want to delve right in and read her MC books because the ones mentioned make me want to delve right in.
The story draws you in from the very beginning, I was not lost at all that I had not read the previous books in her series and was all in from the beginning. I definitely did not see the twist coming either. AND THE STEAM-- omg y'all-- like the chemistry is off the freaking charts hot. You are so not ready for Cullen!
All in all, this was an awesome fusion of two separate story lines that work amazing well together and makes you more curious about both origins, major props to the author and I highly recommend you checking it out- 5 stars from me!
PS: Thank you to Esther E Schmidt and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
Esmee who is known by “Princess” grew up in an MC and she is the daughter of the President and she is tough and loyal to a fault. Cullen is a CIA agent who is assigned to investigate the MC, and he is a stick by the book lawman. When he is working with Esmee they continually butt heads, and he sees through the tough persona that she portrays, and he is determined to break down the barriers she surrounds herself with. This is a well written fast paced quick read, which is filled with suspense, drama, twists, undeniable chemistry, which all leads to a riveting and all-consuming steamy read. I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend for all MC lovers.
She is tired of being the princess. He thinks it's best to follow the rules. Neither was ready for their chemistry. Will they discover who is behind the bodies? Will they be able to work together to overcome the misunderstandings?
I'm a sucker for this author's writing and this one was no different. I loved how strong she was and how determined she was to prove herself, but she also showed a vulernable side with him. I loved how the longer he knew her, the more he saw what she was worth and how strong she was. Loved it and cannot wait for the next one from this author!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
What an awesome collision of Broken Deeds MC and the CIA EES has provided!! Esmee may be my all time fav of EES's heroines. She survives tragedy, she is smart, sassy and she can have my back any day! Cullen had to earn his way back in my heart after getting Esmee sidelined and he did. They are so perfect together! I highly recommend this book!
I am thoroughly enjoying the 2nd generation books!! Esme is just as I had envisioned, totally bad ass like mom! I so enjoyed seeing her all grown up and working in the family business. She meets Cullen in a really bad situation and is NOT impressed, well she kinda is, but doesn't want to admit it!! This book was a great ride and I finished it in one sitting! I could not put it down!
Broken Deeds 2nd Generation what a ride and I can't wait for more. Esmee story left me wanting more. I loved seeing familiar faces. Between the steamy sex scenes and action I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Esme is on kiss a.. lady. I love her, I wanna be her. She is one of my favorite female lead. Fun to read about the role switch. Now you get the biker lady and the law abiding agent. Hope to read more of this. Good job with this one
I instantly Fell in love with this book and story, this is a must read! If you enjoy MC books then this one you will love! This was my first read by this author but it will not be my last! grab this book and read it!!
Deviated had me captured within the pages and never wanting to leave. An MC Princess who is a strong independent woman and a CIA agent that likes to live life by the rules, might just come head to head as their hearts and minds battle against each other. Esmee is smart, sassy, passionate and has an inner and outer strength that would rival any man or woman and seriously I want to be her when I grow up. Cullen is an alpha male with a difference because he will not only take the lead but give it to Esmee without any hesitation. Their story is gripping, action packed, steamy and captivating. Two worlds that perfectly intertwined and had you falling in love with the characters, the story and the author’s writing.
I really enjoyed this book, I’ve known since I read Cullen’s uncle Garrett’s book, that I wanted to read a book about Cullen. The only issue I have is with the Epilogue. The book before this was about Makenna and Austin who end up together at the end of the book but in the epilogue of this books she’s having someone else’s baby? I’m just confused if her and Austin actually got their happily ever after and there was just a name mistake for her love interest in this book or if her and Austin split and she’s now with someone else??
Oh yeah,so scrumptious exciting sexy 😍 😜 horny maleness gorgeous humorous fantastic style of writing ✍ so classy so worth while reading 📚 this fabulous book 5stars and heaps more just grab 😀 me and I couldn't put the book down. I just finished it now. Certainly had me on my bumper with the characters and their chemistry ⚗ so real. Thank's so much 😋. Will be waiting for the next book.
I don’t feel like the author stayed true to the other books in the Salvation series. I don’t feel she captured who Cullen was . She didn’t even have his sister with the same guy she was with in the book before this one which was Fearless . It almost seems she didn’t even know the content of the other books . I was really disappointed.
