Ares Infidels MC #3
Pitbull's Enslavement
Pitbull:
He never imagined that he’d be captivated by a woman who came into his bar to do something illegal. His disappointment knew no bounds when he found out the truth. He finds he has to change his whole thought process when his actions almost get her killed. He’s determined to protect and claim her the next time they meet and to get her forgiveness. She’s not so sure that’s the answer.
Luciana:
She’s forced to do something reprehensible and against her morals, but she doesn’t have a choice. When she’s caught by a man who makes her heart pound, she’s even more ashamed. No one would ever look at her as anything but trash. Her instinct is to protect him, which leads her to an ugly situation and an even bigger threat.
Will they be able to destroy the enemies coming for her, including an enemy that is destroying her from the inside out? She’s determined to protect everyone, including Pitbull. He’s determined to love and protect her, because one thing is for sure, she’s made him happy with Pitbull’s Enslavement.

Ciara St. James
101 books924 followersAn avid reader with a passion for romances that finally got the chance to write one of her own. The rest is history. Not what anyone thought for someone who has been a nurse and in healthcare management for years.
I sit writing as my two fur babies, my pugs Kujo and Khaos, impatiently wait for me to get done so they can lay on me as their human sofa!
My children are finally considered to be adults, so it's me, the hubby and the dogs.
I'm a iced tea drinking fiend who has insomnia, more ideas than I know what to do with, and a need to write them down.
Not too bad for a girl from rural Ohio in the foothills of Appalachia that grew up in a town of about 4000 people.

When Pitbull sees Luciana for the first time he is entranced, until he sees what she is doing and he is enraged that someone so beautiful could do something that would taint them. When he sees her the next time though he is devastated looking at her in a hospital bed, he finds out her story and decides she is the one for him. The only problem is they have to keep Luciana safe and to do so that means sheltered within the confines of the compound. Luciana though has spent years being kept in a prison because of her brother, she wants out and lashes out when she feels cornered. Can Pitbull convince Luciana she can trust him no matter what?
I liked aspects of this one but was not a fan of Luciana, she constantly wants to leave and it got old as the story went on. Liked Pitbull and am anxious to read the next story.

Pitbull manages the bar for the Ares Infidels. Big and tough as nails, he never thought he would fall under the spell of a curvy little thing like Luciana. Then she takes him by surprise and does something abhorrent right before his eyes. Disappointed and frankly horrified that he was so attracted to her, he throws her out of the bar misinterpreting her fear. When he discovers that she was beaten that very night and left for dead, suddenly he is on a mission. He isn't going to rest until she is in his arms and the threat to her is eliminated. Luciana just wants to get out of town, get away from her past. She has no intention of getting close to Pitbull but that is exactly what happens. When they discover that her problems are connected to the ones already facing them and the Time Served guys, everyone jumps in to help. Intense right from the get-go, this story got its hooks into me and didn't let up. Exciting and passionate, Luciana and Pitbull were a phenomenal pair. I am already anxious, needing more stories in Tenillo, 6 stars for Pitbull's Enslavement!

Once again one of these guys was done the instant he spotted a girl. This time around it was Pitbull and Luciana. While the start was a bit ugly, once things were explained out, that was pretty much it for them. A few bumps along the way, but they were talked out and most of them had to do with the drama going on in the city. It seems like both MC's were able to make big strides in getting rid of the bad guys, but it also seems like there are so many more bad guys out there still to catch.

Living with a brother who was the worst kind of person has been difficult for Luciana.
When she's forced into a situation she can't get out of, her path crosses with Pitbull... will he look past the heinous act he witnessed her commit in order to survive, or will he cast her aside.
This was a great read. Great addition to the series.
The characters have alot of depth and intrigue, I found them always on my mind.
It was a fantastic book. A must read

Predictable MC Drama
This is the third book in a continuing series that alternates with the series by Cee Bowerman, that starts with Boss: Time Served MC Book 1. The alternating series follow the same timeline, so you need to have read the previous books to understand this one.
Pitbull is a former Marine communications specialist who got out of the Navy a few years ago at age 29. He joined the Ares Infidels MC when a former colleague told him about it. It's an MC whose members are all ex-service personnel who want to be part of a law-abiding (for the main part) organisation. He now runs the bar for the MC. One night he catches a young woman selling drugs in his bar and takes them off her to flush away and he also takes the money she made to donate to the food kitchen. A few nights later she is brought into hospital beaten, choked and stabbed.
Luciana is forced to sell drugs by her brother who became her guardian when she was 17 after the death of her parents. If she refused, he planned to pimp her out. After Pitbull catches her in his bar, her brother loses his temper so badly he thinks he has killed her. In order to protect the 21-year-old woman, Pitbull insists on taking her back to the compound. He feels guilty but he is also head over heels immediately.
The plot was pretty predictable and the writing was quite stilted. I found it hard to connect with the story because the writing didn’t flow well enough. It was also hard to connect with the story because it was so predictable. I can cope with poor writing if the story is well constructed, or a predictable story if the writing is amazing, both weaknesses together really leave me cold.
I think I also found the insta-love thing a bit annoying too. I have to be in a specific mood to enjoy that type of story, and I don’t think I was in the right frame of mind to enjoy that today.
I think I’ve come to the end of the line with this half of the connected series. I’m just going to have to catch up with the ongoing plot with each Cee Bowerman book that comes out.

What you expect from this author
I will start by saying I wish Cee would do both MC series. Everytime I have to read St. Jame's part of this series, I know I'm wasting money but I have to get hers to continue with Cee's story so I know what's going on. This author is horrible I hate reading her with a passion. I flip close to half with the sex scenes so I'm missing half the book. I feel no connection at all with these two so why read it.
I can't stand Luci. This author has done a few series and this character is probably my 3rd hated female character. With this author its always a martyr. Whoa's me and boo boo for me character. "Let me go, its best for the club etc." sick of it. This book had a twist with the female character, IF I DON'T GET MY WAY, I'M KILLING MYSELF" I was screaming yes let her do it. Or throw her out. At this point I was rooting for Barbie lol.
I was pissed on a few things when Luci didn't give all the people up when she told the MC about her brother and the cousins. She knew more names later like Hector and another supplier. Now the MC has to double back to do more work.
The men in this MC are so so stupid. Everyone reading knows its Barbie giving information but the MC is like, "who can it be". Blah. Just like with another series by this author the MC lets the bunnies call the shots. You know her next book will have 1 or the 2 bunnies thinking it's they're time to get a old man. But let's keep the bunnies we have maybe they will behave or better yet let's get more. And finally they let the security guard go, really!
As for Pittbull I liked him in the very beginning but the he seems like I want what everyone else has and picks up the first crazy he see. He uses sex to shut her up. BORING 😴. She says she is going to kill herself multiple times, you know her crazy is starting to come out but you want her? If she doesn't get her way will it be exceptable to threaten any kids they have instead.
There is no humor in any of this author while Cee's part in her half the the series is hilarious and the female characters are not martyrs and boo boo me. They are strong and funny. Thank God Cee's book is next.

Darker theme w lots of triggers
I do NOT consider this to be a STAND-ALONE read. That is because there are two series, written by two authors, about two different MCs, that unite together to tell the readers about Tenillo, Texas. Therefore, for maximum reader satisfaction, to prevent spoilers, and for immersion in the dynamic world building, these need to be read in order, alternating the series. The first story to be read is Boss from the Time Served MC, followed by the first in the Ares’ Infidels MC series, Sin’s Enticement, then back to the Time Served MC, and so forth. Other reasons these should be read in the recommended order include multiple reoccurring characters, concurrent / overlapping timelines and overarching themes.
Cee and Ciara are working together to weave stories about men and women that are determined to clean up and save their city from coercion, drugs, blackmail, human trafficking, murder and whatever other nefarious crimes are being committed in the shadows.
These men and women do not fund their lifestyles with illegal activities, so they are not like the stereotypical bikers normally featured in within this genre. These series combine to build a dynamic and ever changing story universe with each new reveal, but with two distinct styles. This has made it more interesting for me and I for one am looking forward to the next in the series.
** If you have not read the previous stories in the series, the following may contain spoilers. There are numerous topics that are potential triggers for sensitive readers, so please review the examples listed below **
⛔️ Contains references to, or scenes detailing, subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some, including: adult language; derogatory terms; mental health challenges; steamy adult intimate scenes with dominance, submission, restraints, spanking for pleasure, “bottom” play, etc.; violence stereotypical of the genre such as kidnapping, abduction, murder, death, torture, assault, fighting, betrayal, coercion, blackmail, threats, subterfuge, money laundering, gun running, cheating, prostitution, human trafficking, mafia / cartels, drug use, drug manufacturing, drug distribution, as well as the mental, physical and sexual abuse of females and/or children, etc.
** Caution: Contains scenes with reference to, or detailed graphic violence against females and/or children that fit into the storyline, but may be a trigger for some **
💬 ⚠️ There is a heavy thread of suicide / suicidal tendencies throughout parts of this story. I read some of the other reviews before I started this story and there were some very negative comments about how some readers thought this was used as a manipulative ploy by Luciana, aka Ana.
While this is not my favorite of the two series, it seemed that Ciara used it to demonstrate how desperate, restrictive, controlled, etc. Luciana’s environment was with her brother, that she was at the end of her ability to remain in those same circumstances. Luciana’s character came across as weaker than I believe the author intended and Pitbull didn’t come across as an alpha that served his country for 10 years, he was too immature.
There are very few grammatical issues primarily comprised of incorrect word tense, punctuation errors, missed words and extra inserted words. I am mentioning these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.
In this story Luciana has been under the control of her brother, Juan, for 5 years. If she fails to do what he tells her, he beats her, subjects her to other demoralizing acts and threatens to sell her to a lecherous man that Juan does business with who is interested in Luciana.
Pitbull, aka Cole, runs the bar for the Ares Infidels. He seen a female enter that for some reason catches his attention. She is really tiny, and even though he normally wasn’t attracted to someone so small, he is finding it difficult to take his eyes off of her. Then he spots her dealing drugs in the bar. He is livid! He can’t believe that he would be attracted to a drug dealer. So true to his name, Pitbull comes out of the office barking and brings the female into his office.
Luciana is really frightened, especially when the man drags her into his office and yells at her. He somehow knows what she was doing. Then he takes the rest of the drug packets she has and the money she received for the night. Luciana can’t stop shaking, she knows her fate is sealed when Juan finds out she doesn’t have either.
A few days later Pitbull is trying to enjoy a few hours off when some of the officers of their club comes in hot. They want to know what transpired again the night he caught the young woman dealing. Seems she has been found severely beaten and they are not sure she will make it without some type of damage. She had been beaten, stabbed, choked and tossed in a field like she was dead…OMG! Did she get almost beaten to death because he confiscated and discarded her drugs and money?

I am disappointed in this book: it is too contrived and perhaps written in a hurry because the style does not flow as well as in Ms St. James' previous books. The main characters are Pitbull (Cole Landis) and Luciana Ramirez whose brother Juan (and his sidekicks, Miguel and Jesús) are the ultimate in bad guys. Rounding out the characters are the Ares Infidels MC (AIMC) and the Time Served MC with the Time Served MC club girls (called "bunnies" now), Barbie, Shy and Tabby Cat.
This story feels like West Side Story, a modernized version of Romeo and Juliet. I could picture Rita Moreno (from Broadway’s original West Side Story) as Luciana. In this book we have a tried and used story of a woman who has trust issues (among other serious problems) and a biker who falls in love with her immediately (well, of course it’s immediately) even while she performs a heinous act in the bar he manages. They have to work out a number of clumsy attempts at becoming closer; she argues no way, he argues hell yes. Enough of this, I think.
I believe the writer (or writers, since this is a cross-over book with Cee Bowerman’s Time Served series) has milked the dirty cop business far enough. Through several books there have been security leaks from Boss’ police department. Boss and the other MC members are certain of at least three, possibly four or even more, department employees being corrupt, and one employee has already been discharged in a previous book. The others have been allowed to keep on doing their dirty deeds. How Boss and company have not figured this out yet is pretty amazing in and of itself. Evidence, maybe? Well, OK…but both MCs do a lot of dirty deeds themselves on less evidence than is available on the corrupt police department employees. Why can’t the MC members see what’s going on with the bunker, the tunnels, the corrupt police, the drug dealing, the hinky real estate deals, missing women, and so on? Here, as in the other books, the big bad bikers huff and puff and thump their chests and get all frustrated because they cannot find the bad guys. It’s getting old.
I’m tired of reading the same basic story with a few changed-up twists and turns. Please! How about a biker who doesn’t immediately fall (crash!) in love/lust with the next woman he encounters? How about a woman who acts on her attraction to the biker of the moment and doesn’t have a string of “poor me” games to play? How about a woman who really can take care of herself, and is interested in a biker “just because?” How about a woman who is not so insecure? Who doesn’t question why a biker would want her? Who doesn’t expect said biker to up and leave her at any time? How about if she helps him out instead of needing to be helped? How about a woman who understands realistically that a big bad biker is not going to be broken trying to take care of her problems? Could we dispense with the poor little woman who finds inner strength thanks to her biker boyfriend, then finally stands on her own with his help (huh)? Please: new feminine characters that match the masculine leads AND new plot lines needed here!
The club what-to-call-them’s (club girls? club bunnies?) are getting ridiculous, too. This AIMC is already a different kind of MC. Why the club sex objects? These guys can’t find women on their own? Barbie, in this book, clearly believed that the bikers would ultimately be marrying the club what-have-you’s and seems shocked to discover that’s never going to happen. This MC, with righteous attitudes about protecting women, only has a hypocritical leg to stand on. The club members abuse the girls who hang out at the club, calling them by insulting names. Call it anything you like, it’s still abuse. Wouldn’t it be interesting to include a club girl’s viewpoint in these books? Wonder how they really see these biker boys?
Sex has become a tool in the bikers’ collective arsenals, particularly Pitbull's. Why talk with a woman? Use sex. Why address a problem head-on? Use sex. And everything is all better again. I began to speed read through the plethora of sex scenes which have become jaded and shallow, the same scenes played over and over and over; sex activities appear in the same order with the same results. I miss eroticism.
I will keep reading because I want to know how the writer(s) solve the issues with the bunkers, tunnels, corrupt police, fake real estate deals, drug dealers, human trafficking, and so on. This writer is talented – I’d really like to see her take on a fresh point of view, a novel way of bringing a biker and woman together, a stronger woman who stands toe-to-toe with a strong biker, evils other than drug dealing and human trafficking (definitely horrible societal evils, but there are other evils to write about, too). We’ll see what happens next… I’m a bit skeptical and hesitant to forge ahead, but curiosity will win out.

I miss eroticism.
I will keep reading because I want to know how the writer(s) solve the issues with the bunkers, tunnels, corrupt police, fake real estate deals, drug dealers, human trafficking, and so on. This writer is talented – I’d really like to see her take on a fresh point of view, a novel way of bringing a biker and woman together, a stronger woman who stands toe-to-toe with a strong biker, evils other than drug dealing and human trafficking (definitely horrible societal evils, but there are other evils to write about, too). We’ll see what happens next… I’m a bit skeptical and hesitant to forge ahead, but curiosity will win out.

This author is not for me. And I’m not sure she should be writing MC’s. I’ve read a lot of MC series and this one, these bikers are a bunch of wimps.
Cutting out on patch in parties, letting the bunnies rule the roost, letting the women they met 2 mins beforehand rule their life. I love a good alpha hole and I love a strong female but this? This is not MC.
Same trope different book. I wish I didn’t have to read it to get the storyline in Time Served. I’m now at skimming I’m so bored.
This FMC is the biggest martyr I’ve read. She’s immature, bratty and a runner. God I hate runners. And the constant “I’ll kill myself”. Really? Should you be going there and making suicide such a fickle subject matter? Because that’s how this FMC treats it. Attention grabbing brat. And that whole scene towards the end with her wanting to question Barbie, like she clearly thinks she’s her own badass. It was a joke. Threatening to kill herself and then she’s leaving (again) because she can’t get her own way. And the weak as piss “man” Pitbull is all “baby don’t go, you can talk to her”… let her go man. In fact pack her bags for her- grow a large ass set of balls and kick this brat to the curb.
And why are these “brothers” not warning their mates off these very obvious red flag chicks?? They’re all cow towing down to this chick. She’s been on the scene for two mins and they’re all caving to her threats and bratty behaviour. Mod god it was painful to read.
The insta love, the characters, they’re all the same in this series. It’s dull and the relationships are borderline laughable.
And that the heck is with these bunnies?!?! They’re living on site and act like princesses! And get the shits on when a biker hooks up. Thinking one of the bikers is going to make them their Old Lady. And the bikers do nothing!! Nothing when these chicks speak back to them, demand things of them and in front of them, cause trouble with their women - the women they all fell in love with about 30 secs after they meet them. The women the author spends 90% of the book telling us that the bikers will protect and keep safe. Just not from the bunnies. What a joke.

A definite must read book and series!
I absolutely love this series! The stories just keep getting better and better. Everything in Pitbull's life is about to change when a pint size pixie unexpectedly comes rocking into his world. When it quickly turns into a horrific tragedy, can he convince her to let him protect her, learn to trust him, as well as give them a chance for a possible HEA? You'll have to read this to find out! It's not a story that you'll want to miss!
I absolutely love the collaboration that Ciara St. James and Cee Bowerman have created with the Ares Infidels MC and the Time Served MC series'! Both are fantastic series with awesome characters, lots of humor, drama, angst, mystery, suspense, a bit of violence, and terrific HEA's! I love how the clubs are separate, but are working together to make their town a better place for everyone. There is constant character crossover in both series, which makes it easier to keep track of what's going on with everyone. They're both definite must read series'!
If you haven't already read the previous books, I would highly recommend that you start at the beginning with BOSS: Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman, then SIN: Ares Infidels MC by Ciara St. James. Then you'll want to follow the reading order which is based on the release dates. It's not necessary to read both series, but it will give you a better understanding of the characters, the clubs and their members, the connections, and the dynamics between them. Both series are excellent, and the authors have made it extremely easy to follow the ongoing storylines while giving each couple their HEA. I can't recommend both of these series enough!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

4 Stars: Kindle Unlimited Read
Pitbull's one lucky man if he will stop and pull his head out of his ass for 5 minutes and actually listen to Luc. The men of both MCs have strong women and will do what it takes to live safely and for their chosen families to live safely as well.
I actually liked Luc. Yes she was in a rough situation with no way out in a town of dirty cops. She was luck to have GB been busted by the AIMC. Moreover, Pitbull's luck to have been the one to bust her.
"Ares Infidels MC" series by Vista St. James and the "Time Served MC" series by Gee Bower man are written in tandem with one another. **To get the most out of the series is best to read in the epic world build these two authors created. However, it is not necessary.
I so can't wait to meet Preacher's love interest!

Pitbull/Cole and Luciana
These back and forth books between Ciara and Cee have been really great stories, but for me regarding this one, I had to stop reading for a little bit and come back to it because for some reason it was holding my attention like usual. Nothing against Ciara whatsoever though. Luciana was dealt a very nasty hand by her own brother with him making her sell his drugs. The best part for her is that Pitbull caught her in one of their bars and also realized that she had also been beaten by her psycho brother, but not surprising when you read about what happened to their parents. Pitbull and Luciana eventually fell in love, but she did make him see the error of his ways by not communicating with her and keeping her in the dark about what was happening. Omen is one of the prospects that has the sight from his Cajun ancestors, so he was also able to warn Luciana about something that was going to happen to her and that she needed to always carry her knife with her. Thank goodness she listened because one of the house bunnies Barbie was vying for her man's attention and she was also using drugs and helping her brother Juan. Let's just say that no one wants to mess with Luciana because she is no weakling or pushover. Very glad that I finished the story because it was really great and they were finally able to catch some of the other culprits. Happy reading.

This is the 6th book in the Tenillo Guardians series but the 3rd Ares Infidels MC book. This is a not a standalone; you really need to read all the preceding books (both series; Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman and Ares Infidels by Ciara St James). Things are heating up even more in the not so sleepy town of Tenillo, Texas. This story gives us a few answers/resolutions to some issues from previous books and presents a few more questions. In this book the hero Pitbull has rude meeting with the heroine Luciana (but his 1st impression of her is very wrong). Though she’s young and a bit unsure of herself, you can see she will become a strong, smart woman with Pitbull’s support. The bond between the women of the 2 clubs is very strong. These women are smart, strong and hilarious. There’s wedding in this book that has a very unique theme which I totally loved.
Ciara weaves quite the intriguing tale. While Tenillo, Texas seems like your average quiet small town there looks to be a lot going on under the surface. A fantastic 6th book of this new series. The series alternates between the Time Served MC (by Cee Bowerman) and the Ares Infidels MC (written by Ciara St James). Next up will the next book about the Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman. I can’t wait for all the rest of the stories and if I could; I’d live in Tenillo, TX.

I definitely had moments of complete rage at the obliviousness and utter stupidity of the characters, but I liked this book. Pitbull was the problem. His immediate response to any issue was to yell, roar, punch walls, lash out with hurtful accusations, stubbornly dig in, and basically act like he’s on steroids. He would eventually see he was wrong in many situations, so I guess it’s forgivable.
I loved Luciana. (I was totally picturing her as Jenna Ortega while reading this.) I loved her street wise and tough attitude. I loved her back story- way more interesting and badass than the other old ladies in this series. I even loved her over dramatic reactions. My first impression of her had me worried, because I thought NOT ANOTHER ONE WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM. She wasn’t the same though, I felt like her worries were justified and based in reality.
Overall, even though I was like ridiculously enraged while reading one particular scene, it ended up working out so it’s fine.
On to the next book.
The cover: it looks like the dad bod guy is peeing. Like he was riding along a Texas highway and stopped to take a piss. Not good.

Not as bad as I expected.
Considering the reviews before hand, I wasn't really expecting much which is probably why I'm surprised it wasn't all that bad.
I understand why people don't really like Luciana, she was at times a little unbearable but I could understand her logic. I don't agree with it but I understood it.
I feel no type of way for Pitbull. If I'm being honest I didn't really connect with him at all. A bit lacklustre.
I skimmed majority of the book. At this point I'm only reading because I'm deeply intrigued by this whole corrupted town plot and I want to see it through. I will say, a lot of time was wasted on Luci and Pitbull. There was a lot of build up around Juan only for the answers to be crammed into the last 30 pages of the book. It felt rushed and very anticlimactic. Too easy.
A lot of fodder in the middle could've been cut out and replaced with actual storyline.
In all, I didn't hate this book but I didn't love it either.

Pitbull/Luciana. It's a wonder my eyes are not stuck in the back of my head as much as I rolled them with this book. I better not let Pitbull hear me because he may come and kick my ass. How many times was that written in this book that he was gonna go after people......I'm still shaking. Same scenario desperate man falls in love in about an hour after seeing an insecure girl who's not worthy. I'm so sick of these stories. Very disappointed in this book especially when the wrap up was only a couple of pages in the back of the book but I had to endlessly hear about Pitbull's love after a day and Luciana saying she's not gonna love him because he will just end up hurting her in the end. Blah Blah Blah. Never heard about how Hannigan was caught (her wrap up was about 2 paragraphs) and her character was in the series since Sin's story. That's another thing Sin's wedding was a blip in this book. Even the banter between the guys was lacking. Very disappointed in this book.

Pitbull and Luciana
So Pitbull is like, the ultimate alpha male - all tough and protective, but also super controlling. Like, he's got this whole "I'm gonna keep you safe, Luciana" thing going on, but sometimes it's like, dude, personal space. Luciana, though, she's like a total rockstar - young, but super strong and capable. And Pitbull, despite being all alpha, is actually pretty sweet and loving. Their relationship is like, a whirlwind - fast-paced and crazy, but also kinda adorable. And let's be real, the plot of this book is like, wow. So many twists and turns, it's hard to keep up. But in a good way, obvs. Luciana's got all these secrets and it's like, you're on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens next. Overall, Pitbull's Enslavement is like, the ultimate thrill ride. It's got action, romance, and like, all the feels. And the best part? It's not even over yet - there's still more to come, and I am so here for it.

This story gave me all the feels! Pitbull and Luciana we so perfect for each other. These two have a very rocky start and the hits keep coming. I loved that Pitbull saw what he wanted and wasn’t detoured from having a life with Luciana even if she was determined to fight him on it repeatedly. I must admit I found one flaw with this book and that’s the “club girl” involvement. I find this to be a theme with many MC books I have read of late, but this author created a great angle, so I got over this fairly quickly.Although Ciara St. James is still a relatively new author to me, I am falling in love with her writing style and the flow her books have. I love that this series coincides with Cee Bowerman’s Tenillo Guardians TSMC series. We get to meet and interact with all the guys and their women while still reading a great love story.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series I believe it will be Omen’s story and if so, I know we are in for a wild ride!

Storylines are now proving monotonous in the series
The storyline continues from book one. Any new reader needs to realise that there are two sets of MC clubs involved written alternatively by two different authors and the continuous theme threads through both of them.
This is Pitbull's story and how he finds his happy ever after.
Entertainment value is good, but after reading all the books up to this one the repetition is beginning to drag, even to the dialogue between the main male character and his old lady to be and the intimacies shared. There are no surprises anymore as apart from a new romance, the rest of the storyline continues as the previous ones, finding and disposing of villainous elements and trying to prove corruption as the clubs clean up Tenillo, Texas.

Great book
This is the 3rd infidels books and the 6 one in the joint series with cee bowermans time served mc books and again worked beautifully together to keep the story line going and the characters we are starting to love. Pitbull is the alpha male we all love and he falls hard for luicanna who has been beaten down by life but manages to show everyone that she can be strong and cause its been so well written you want to high 5 her at points the men are shown time again that the women are strong and independent when they need to be. There relationship is hot and heavy and steamy at points I recommend that these books are read in order with both series and after read any of ciara mc books you won't be disappointed

Awesome.... Time Served Ares Mc rule.
Luciana was a strong woman tortured by her brother left for dead after her run in with Pitbull. When Pitbull heard she was hurt he brought her home claiming her has his. Unknown to Luciana she had the answers to many questions that Boss and Sin MC need.
Luciana had many insecurities but Pitbull was determined to make them all disappear with his love.
What the author gives us is that though Luciana went through from her brother she proves to Pitbull and all the brothers just how strong she is and how she is taking back her life.
The author continues to show us that the town of Tenillo needs both MCs to clean it up. Not to give it away but in this book so many questions are answered. Excellent read.

Decent continuation
I've read all of Ciara St James books in her half of the two Tenillo Guardian series and this is the first one in not giving 5 stars. I struggled thru the 1st half of the book but loved the 2nd half.
In the first half, the characters felt disconnected and as if they were just going they the motions. I felt easily distracted by other stuff when usually i feel compelled to continue to read. I world think out took me about 4 days to read the 1st half and about 4 hopes to read the 2nd half. I don't know what exactly pickled up my interest finally but maybe out was just the pace of the book or more interactions with other characters.
I'm really hooping i like the next book better because i like reading the back and forth of hers and Cee's series.

Well.........
It took me about 4 days to finish this book, meaning it was easy to put down.no liked pitbull and Luciana and the story which is an improvement over this authors previous books in this series. What I couldn't get over or what bothers me is her use of, "church" she doesn't know what that is in a MC and it annoys me. Bunnies also ... So not what they are called. Plus there is never anything that is going on between them and the single brothers in the club house which would give the readers more insight to the brother s before their books. If this author wasn't entwined with the time served I wouldn't continue with this series . I think if MS st. James did research and fixed some of her amateur mistakes she could have something as this story line was good.

Another great story you have to read it ll
I don't know where to start this was an interesting book to say the least. Pitbull guns the bar in town called Hangovers for the MC , one night a female enters v the bar and he see her on the monitor acting strange. As he continues to watch her he finally realizes she is dealing drugs, he confronts her and takes the drugs and money and tells her to leave and never come back. Several days later he discovered that she had been eaten and nearly died. Well being the person he is, he takes care of her and falls head over heals in love with her. This is a violent, crazy, love romance and sexually active story. It is a must read in the series.
I recommend it with a 5 Star Review

Several days later he discovered that she had been eaten and nearly died. Well being the person he is, he takes care of her and falls head over heals in love with her. This is a violent, crazy, love romance and sexually active story. It is a must read in the series.
I recommend it with a 5 Star Review

Pitbull's Story
As always Ciara St. James knows just how to create a storyline that pulls you in from the very beginning & leaves you wanting more & not wanting the story to end. Her 2 MC worlds she has intertwined is so amazingly well written, each story has its own twists & turns & leaves you guessing what will happen next or which Alpha is going to fall in love next. And each story also has lots of steamy scenes too that will have you reaching for that fan or ice cold drink to cool you off too lol.
Enjoy getting lost in any book of Ciara's you won't be disappointed! I'm off to read Omen's story now because he has slowly become a favorite character for me after his appearance in Pitbull's story.

Pitbull and Luciana
I really really enjoyed the book it was well written and loved the story line and loved pitbull. I found Luciana to be really annoying though, she was constantly running away from everything all the time and threw a massive tantrum by doing something so awful to those who loved her just so she could get her own way. It was selfish and very immature. It was portrayed as her call for help but it wasn't it was to get what she wanted. But I really did love how pitbull handled her so gently and was a really great guy. I loved the book to no faults just my preference on Luciana. Can't wait for Omen 😍

Sorta stiff?
Like personality conflicts with the main characters. It just didn't flow smoothly like the other books. Plus the plot seems drawn out. I find it hard to believe that both clubs can't solve who is behind the trafficking. The sex was hot but a little rushed in the beginning. I found Pit to be a bit overzealous to show his emotions. Plus, he was so bipolar where she was concerned. I liked how she stood up for herself, not being a rug. It wasn't over the top when last resort was taking herself out. Her back was to the wall. It was the only freedom she had left, her choice to live or die. That part very realistic.

Check reading order
I enjoy the two series together. I think both authors should include the reading order between the two series. I started with a couple of books, then found the correct order. It is less confusing and a smoother reading if you search out the reading order on Ciara St. James' website. It was a little frustrating to me at first. Then again, I am weird about timelines. All in all these books are fun and exciting. I have read a few of Ms. St. James series and they all are hard to put down once you start.

Great!
I choose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters. This was a book of determination, protection, compassion, kindness, aggression, sympathy, believing in yourself and your worth, and falling in love. I enjoyed Cole(Pitbull) and Luciana story. I think the author did a great job putting these characters together. This book was pretty interesting with the stuff that was going on it seems unreal but it does happen with siblings. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.
