Celt

Dark Slayers MC #4

by Aria Ray

A scorching hot badass looking for redemption. A single dad crazy about his daughter. My sworn protector.

Tall, dark and Irish, Celt stole my heart the day he saved me from my predatory husband.

But I keep it a secret from him. I can’t let myself become bound to anyone right now. I have to regain control of my life first.

A fresh start. No brawny, possessive bikers allowed. No matter how strikingly handsome they are.

With his raven hair, huge muscles covered in Celtic tattoos, and sexy accent, Celt is a challenge. And as hard as I try to ice him out, he finds his way back in...

I have to remind myself constantly that he is no saint. He served time in prison, ruined his marriage and his daughter’s childhood.

I always end up with the bad guy – is he any different?

Maybe he is. He’s also looking for a fresh start, intent on two things - providing for his spunky daughter and protecting me.

When he asks for just one kiss, I ache to give it to him, in the worst way. But if I allow him a taste of me, will he become possessive and violent like my ex?

My fear to let Celt in dies the day my obsessed stalker of a husband reappears. He’s looking for revenge, and Celt will risk everything to save me.

Could it be too late to admit what’s in my heart?

Celt’s story is the fourth book in the "Dark Slayers MC” hot and alluring romance series featuring bikers who will remind you why you like the bad boys so much. They’re protective, rough, and running on pure diesel and adrenaline.
Each book in the series is a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after for the couple, though it is recommended to read them in order for maximum enjoyment.

Celt & Grace had an intriguing book. Good characters. I got a copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving my review.

[Coastie Mom · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Dark Slayer series is one of my favorites. I have truly enjoyed reading each book about a different member of the MC club. This is the story of Celt and Grace. Celt is the cousin of Storm who is the President of the Dark Slayers. Celt did a little time while taking the fall for his father’s MC club and is just getting out. Celt is reunited with his 9-year-old daughter Dusty. Celt made a promise to himself that Dusty would be his main focus and nothing else would get in his way. When things don’t work out as originally planned, Celt turns to his cousin for a place to start over with Dusty. Grace is a friend of Allison’s (Grit’s wife and Zoe’s sister) from rehab. She has been on the run for a few years trying to stay away from her abusive ex Chuck. She is always in fear of being found and at a moment’s notice, she can pick up her bag and be gone. She is strong, smart, and very resilient to what is going on.

The Dark Slayers go out on a mission to find Grace when Allison gets upset because she can’t get in contact with her. Celt is the one to find her and is disgusted by the way he sees her ex-husband treating her and fights off Chuck. Grace is safe (for now). There is a pull between Grace and Celt. He cares for her while she is healing and she feels safer around him. Although both have sworn off having any type of relationship with the opposite sex, you can’t help what the heart wants.

This story will definitely pull on your heartstrings while you are reading this. My emotions while reading this were all over the place. I felt for Celt as he was talking about his past. I was angry for Grace that she had to endure the abuse she went through. But I think what really got me was the passion Celt had about how women were supposed to be treated and how much space and time he gave Grace. This Irishman stole my heart. Great story with wonderful characters. I really hope this is not the end of this series! I look forward to reading more from Aria Ray and cannot wait to see what’s next!

OK. I said, after having read Razor by this same writer, that I was not going to read any more in this series. I am a pushover for the Irish, however, and when I picked this book, I thought the advertising blurb sounded interesting. At 10% completion, I had a niggling feeling that I had read another of this writer’s books and been dissatisfied. When I checked my “Books Read” spreadsheet, I found to my dismay that I had indeed read this author previously. This book, however, is marginally better for all that it was written before Razor.

As I did Razor, I liked the eponymous Celt and I believe it’s because the writer liked him as well. As in the book, Razor, there is a similar problem with the heroine who is not as solid as the hero. Celt remains true to himself throughout the book. Our heroine, Grace, starts out scared, with an ex-husband who is obsessively unable to move on from their divorce and who is psychotically abusive. Still, Grace is strong and stays barely one step ahead of him. He keeps finding her and while her ex was a policeman and wealthy, we are not told how he finds her time after time, particularly since she is good at hiding and creating new identities for herself. By the book's end, Grace is a coddled, needy woman.

There are some contradictions and discrepancies right from the beginning of the book. We start with Celt’s uncle bending over backwards to file all the paperwork and following up with the right people to reunite Celt, after his stint in prison, with his daughter, Dusty. Celt’s uncle obviously loves him deeply, offering Celt and his daughter a place to live. We aren’t told why, but the uncle is now decompensating and being placed in hospice care. The aunt essentially kicks Celt and Dusty to the curb. While I understand the grief his aunt must be feeling, loving family doesn’t kick family to the side when sad things happen. Celt and Dusty would have been a huge help to the aunt, who is soon to be left alone. This has “plot device” written all over it. It jars the reader because it is not in keeping with the love Celt’s uncle has shown him. And sure enough, being kicked to the curb causes Celt to call on a cousin for help and that’s how he comes to be allied with the Dark Slayers MC.

Additional problems crop up throughout the story. For instance:
 On the first page we are told Celt “was released from prison four days ago.” Two pages later Celt is on the phone telling his cousin “they cut [him] loose yesterday.”
 Celt’s accent, as depicted in dialogue, becomes tedious to read. He has spent some of his formative years in Ireland and as a result, has a pleasant Irish burr in his voice. Dialect is tricky to write; it is used to indicate ethnicity but can overwhelm when used too frequently. Here, it becomes tiresome to read.
 The writer tells us, “Griffinsford, Texas, was a four-hour drive from Summer’s Creek, which was on the outskirts of Phoenix.” Ms. Ray needs to take a good look at a map of the southwestern U.S. Phoenix is in the center of Arizona. Between Phoenix and any place in Texas is the state of New Mexico which is about 550 miles wide. Phoenix to the New Mexico border is at least 275 miles, depending on the route driven. That’s 825 miles just to the border of Texas. To make that in four hours, the bikers would have had to travel at 206.25 mph without breaks. Hmmm…nope. There is no actual Griffinsford, Texas, so wherever in Texas the writer has placed her town, there will be even more travel…and Texas is a big state. There is no excuse for this kind of mistake; Google maps, or any road atlas, should have been consulted.
 We are told that “instead of staying with her friend, Alison, she [Grace] would need to stay at the clubhouse where she could be protected.” Alison is married to Grit, a member of the MC, and fiercely protective in his own right. This is a slap in Grit’s face because if Alison is safe (and she is), then Grace would be safe. However, it’s a device to get Grace into Celt’s room.

There are too many grammatic and typographic errors in the book; here are a few of them:
 “…rented a tiny hole in wall to call home….” Perhaps, “…rented a tiny hole in THE wall….”
 “I’ve never went back….” The tense is incorrect. It needs a simple present perfect verb. The phrase should read, “I’ve never GONE back….”
 “Griffinsford, Texas, was a four-hour drive from Summer’s Creek, which was on the outskirts of Phoenix.” The comma after “Texas” is unnecessary. The sentence should read, “Griffinsford, Texas was a four-hour drive from Summer’s Creek, which was on the outskirts of Phoenix.”
 “I leaned down beside Dusty down and whispered….” That’s one “down” too many.
 “Ye d have to worry yer pretty head.” If the writer wants to portray Celt’s Irish accent, I think the sentence might read, “Ye doan’ have to worry…” or maybe just, “Ye don’t have to worry….”
 “God only knows how much weapons and ammo they’ve got….” The grammar rule regarding the use of “much” vs. “many” is this: if it’s countable, use “many” and if an item is uncountable, then use “much.” So the sentence should read, “God only knows how MANY weapons…” since the weapons can be counted.
 “Ye d always need to be worried….” There’s that lone “d” again. If it is meant to portray an accent, it isn’t working. It behaves almost like an apostrophe “d” after the word, “Ye,” as in, “Ye’d always need to be worried…” and this would give the exact opposite meaning since Celt is saying not to worry. Celt uses "don't" in sentences elsewhere in the book, so I think these d's are typos.
 “Let’s get busy sitting up for the night.” Unless Rosie (the speaker) and Grace are expecting to sit up all night, this should read, “Let’s get busy SETTING up for the night,” since they are talking about setting up a bar.
 “My eyes flash to the woman standing patiently beside of me.” The preposition, “of,” is superfluous. The sentence should read, “My eyes flash to the woman standing patiently beside me.”
 “…Celt is taking Dusty and I Christmas shopping.” Argh. “I” is a subject pronoun used incorrectly as an object pronoun. To test the correctness of a compound object, remove the first part of the compound (“Dusty and”); the sentence would then read, “…Celt is taking I Christmas shopping.” Sounds weird, doesn’t it? The phrase should read, “…Celt is taking Dusty and me shopping.”
 “We picked up a muffin and nibbled as we strolled around….” This sounds as if the three of them are all nibbling on the same muffin. This phrase should read, “We picked up muffins and nibbled….”

There are some loose ends, perhaps to placemark bits that will feed into another book? Here are two (without revealing spoilers):
 Celt needs to report to a parole officer; apparently he did not serve his full sentence, but is out on parole. When he moves to a new county, he’ll need a new parole officer. Storm, Celt’s cousin, mentions that a club member is in a long-term relationship with a parole officer. We never hear anything more about this.
 Celt hates his father and paints him as a blackguard. It sounds as if the father is an all-around criminal. However, there is an incident that makes it seem as if the father may have a soft spot in his heart for his son and granddaughter. It’s odd because Celt was in prison, and left there to rot, because of his father. What’s going on? We aren’t told…nor shown.

I rated this book 2.5 stars and rounded down because there are so many inconsistencies and errors. The execution is disappointing, but Celt is well fleshed out and an interesting character. This time, I think I really am finished with this series. The writer’s blurb at the back of the book says she writes stories that are “hot and intense.” This book is neither hot nor intense.

This is the fourth book in the Dark Slayers MC series and starts out with Uriah Davis, aka Celt sitting on his motorcycle reflecting on the path his life has taken. He's just been released from doing a five year sentence in prison for a job he did for his father, the leader of the Dark Steel MC, and he's trying to figure out his next steps because his original plan of picking up his nine year old daughter from her foster home and moving in with his uncle has been kiboshed because his uncle's health has taken a turn for the worse and he's on hospice care. Celt now has to figure out where the two of them could go because his parole officer said he wouldn't look too kindly on him if he returned to his father's club. So, Celt calls his cousin Storm, president of the Dark Slayers MC and arranges for them to move in with him and his pregnant wife. Celt makes the trek to the Dark Slayers territory with his daughter on his motorcycle and arrives there safely. Next, we're introduced to Grace Allen who is on the run from her abusive ex husband and is the best friend of Alison, wife of Grit, vp of the Dark Slayers. Alison has been trying unsuccessfully to convince Grace to come to the Dark Slayers territory so she can be protected from her ex by them. Currently, Grace is working under the table at a small mom & pop deli while she gathers more money in her savings. She's there one evening when her ex, Chuck, barges in asking for her. Her older boss tells him that she's not there but he ex states that he saw her come in there. He's found her again! She escapes out the back door and takes off running, sticking to back alleys and residential areas. She comes to a screeching halt when he appears before her with his car. He starts yelling at her to get in the car and she refuses. His yelling has brought attention to them and a door opens revealing a lady with a shotgun in her hands. She tells Chuck to leave now or she's calling for back up, because apparently she's a sheriff's deputy with the local precinct and she recognizes a domestic dispute when she she's one. That scares off Chuck and he leaves in a cloud of dust. She all she can offer Grace is a ride to the local women's shelter and holding off calling it in until morning. Fast forward and we see Alison freaking out because she can't reach Grace by phone and she has a sinking feeling that her ex husband has found her again and is making her pay for running away again. She explains everything to her husband, Grit, and he decides to ease her distress because she's currently pregnant by him by rounding up some of the Dark Slayers and tracking down her last location to see what's going on. Celt is among the Dark Slayers going out to find Grace because he can't help but feel rage towards any man who would beat up on a helpless woman. They get to her last known location and start investigating and after a little while her boss from the mom & pop deli tells them where she was living. They investigate the tiny room and discover a folded up map with an area circled off. Celt determines that that's where she probably is and that her ex husband has her. They arrive at the location and find a small cabin with a basement. Celt stealthily makes his way to the cabin and peers into the window to see a female form suspended from the ceiling and Chuck approaching her with a policeman's baton. He burst through the door and tackles him to the ground and they begin fighting. Grace screams out that he has a knife and to be careful. They continue fighting and Celt gets distracted by Grace moaning from the pain that was inflicted on her so he goes to check on her and Chuck escapes out the door running into the woods. He's escaped! Celt and his fellow MC guys get her to a hotel and call in a medic to come examine her. She has contusions all over her body, bruised ribs and radial fracture in one of her arms. She bandaged and treated for her injuries and when she comes to from passing out, Celt helps her into the shower where he gently cleans her and washes her hair. She wonders how such a large, fierce looking man can be so gentle. They end up getting to know each other; she finds out he's single with a young daughter and she is extremely attracted to him. This is where I'll leave you and you'll have to read the rest of the book to find out what happens next. Let's just say that things really heat up between Celt and Grace and her ex husband may or may not make another appearance as well as their may be an end to the Dark Slayers cult issues, that's a whole 'nother can of worms. It really is a sexy, wonderful romance in which two strong characters save each other in one way or another, one from an abusive relationship and the other from a five year stint of loneliness. It's a touching romance with a lot of heat and sexual chemistry that really brings the story to life. I highly recommend this book for its realistic storyline and strong, lovable heroic characters. This is totally a swoon worthy story that will make a wonderful addition to any romance collection. In fact the entire series thus far is worth it's weight in gold and definitely worth the addition to any romance collection.

The formal and ‘Tracy Flick’ writing style just does not fit with MC books. It’s very off putting and cringeworthy. The storylines described sucks me in to pick up the book, but I have to force myself to push through the horrible writing style.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite trope within an MC is when a brother rescues a girl (little sister preferred), and then helps her regain her strength after the ordeal. Storm's book sets the tone for Grit's book, and that's the story that I wanted most of all. It didn't disappoint. Even though Grit and Alison's story is not smooth sailing, it was beautifully written. After I finished it, I wasn't sure that I was going to continue on with the series. I had the story I wanted, and I was okay with moving on to something else. Celt then popped up on my radar, and I thought I would give him a chance. I just couldn't remember who he was.

It took me a few chapters to figure out who the main couple was. I don't know why, but I didn't put it together right away. There was a few "huh" moments before it all clicked. Celt is Storm's cousin and rounds out the friendship threesome with Grit. Grace is Alison's friend from the rehab center. He's trying to put his life back together after jail time and raise his daughter, who's having stability issues. She's on the run from her abusive husband. It's the wrong time for both of them to start a relationship. However, they can't deny the attraction that sizzles each time they're in the same room.

I liked Celt, and I thought he was doing the best he could with a bad situation. When he actually joins the Dark Slayers, he's kind of stuck with the dirty jobs. As someone on parole, you would think he would be taking it easy. That's not the case, as he was right in the thick of things. It just felt wrong in that moment - like he could take the fall again at any second. However, the best thing about Celt though is that he picks on Storm non-stop. It's hilarious as the stick in the mud needs to be knocked down a few pedestals.

[CS · Rating 4 out of 5]

Seems I'm always looking out for new authors for Mafia and MC romance genres. The blurb on this MC romance hooked me in and I thought I'd give this author a try. So glad I did.
I liked the way it started out with Celt getting out of prison and being reunited with his little daughter Dusty. In a few short chapters, I was already team Celt. His relationship with his daughter added depth to Celt's personality and I liked his commitment to her.
Moving from his father's dirty MC club to the "Dark Slayers" in the midst of his parole may not have been the best timing, but Celt had run out of options, and luckily his new brotherhood operated with more integrity than his father's club.
The author did a good job with Grace's introduction as well. Her altercation with her abusive ex husband showed her to be strong, resilient, smart and scrappy in spite of the beatings she endured by trying to leave him.
When a club members woman sends out an SOS for Grace after she fled from her ex, Celt's world crashed in Grace.
Celt, Dusty, and Grace made for a sweet family as Grace's ex continued to threaten their newfound happiness.
An enjoyable read from start to finish. Well written and evenly paced with the usual MC drama but enhanced with a lot of heart.
I appreciated the lack of cheating/gross scenes along with the satisfying HEA for this worthy couple/family. The author was able to capture the essence of all that's great about MC romances without being over the top gory or bloody.
This author was a find for me as I look forward to reading more of her work.

[Escape to the pages · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this series and have enjoyed all the books so far. Celt is a new character brought in at the end of the last book along with Grace who was a side character in that story also, though her story was only briefly touched on. You don’t really need to have read the key hers to enjoy this but it would enhance it and there is a longer running storyline that follows through the series.

I llreally liked Celt from the start and his determination to be a good dad and make better decisions. As the story progressed he learnt more and more about himself and Dusty was just such a loveable character in her own right, she’ll be causing trouble soon enough I think.

Grace’s life has been hard, harder than it should have been and her vindictive stalker ex just won’t leave her alone. Luckily her friend Ali sends her husbands friends to help her and Celt rescues her from his clutches.

Their story develops slowly, as they recover from their recent past and discover what they want in their future, with a little drama and angst along the way for good measure.

Enjoyable read, would recommend

[Krystinna Collett · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked Celt. His character was empathetic, respectful, charming, and reflective. A great father, and a man who showed loyalty to those in his club, he was constantly trying to be a better man for those around him.

About the book and additional characters:
Celt was just released from prison. He was on his way to pick up his little girl who he had not seen in five years. He felt really guilty about this and made a promise to himself and his daughter, he would never go back. His daughter, Dusty, was a curious chatterbox. She was a typical nine year old and funny, inquisitive, and kept her dad on his toes.

Celt and his daughter ended up staying at the clubhouse when they met Grace. Celt rescued Grace from a terrible situation. Grace and Celt formed a bond and had an instant connection. Grace was soft, genuine, beautiful, and stronger than she gave herself credit for.

I really enjoyed this book. There were a few errors, but I felt it did not distract from the story. I recommend this book.

The book begins with Celt being released from prison after five years and rescues his daughter from foster care. He wants to start over, away from his fathers outlaw MC and with his daughter. Grace is friends with Allison (see Grit's book) and has been on the run for two years from her abusive ex-husband. When Grace is MIA, Allison sends the Dark Slayers after her. Celt's protective instincts kick in when he rescues Grace from her ex. Grace is drawn in by the caring father and damaged soul that Celt is and the two of them develop a bond while hiding from her ex. This book is more about their growing relationship and the steam and action don't kick in until the end. The conclusion of the "cult" drama with the MC was anti-climatic and a bit of a let down after all of the drama in the previous three books.

[Leanne Bryson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my favorite of the Dark Slayers MC series so far. Celt is rebuilding his relationship with his young daughter after spending time in proson and his daughter going into foster care. Grace is on the run from her abusive ex who will do anything to get her back. When he kidnaps Grace, the Drak Slayers MC come to rescue her and Celt is instantly smitten. He goes into protective overdrive, but doesn't push her into a relationship until she's ready. Celt is defintely a tough biker with a kind, protective heart and a great father. Grace is compassionate and caring as well. Well written characters, fast paced, steamy read. And you can read the entire series for FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Great series.

Celt is just delicious to read about

The very Irish cousin of President Storm is swoon worthy. As you learn more about him, you fall for him. Grace is one lucky woman that he assigned himself as her protector. Celt keeps getting better with the turn of each page. I liked his dad too. I know that he was a jerk dad, but at least he recognized that he was unapologetically in the wrong. Also Celt’s dad showed up with reinforcements and a medical doctor timely and without protest. This book had more angst and MC drama with the cult. Also the author is improving in writing character interaction. In this book four, the main couples are present and interact with Celt and Grace and Dusty. Let me just say this, Dusty stole the show, the book, the whole shebang. Read On!

This is second book in series, where
Heroine hides the threats and bulling she is getting from a violent person in her life. Actually the 3rd book. And I’m only 4 books deep . I’m sick of girls who are late 20’s early 30’s that are 2S2L
A known threat and you chose to walk home. Of course that is when they attack
A string of increasingly violent threats text and you tell ..no one?

Slow burn but A lot of Action

Celt & Grace- TRIGGERS: hostage talking, assault, domestic violence. Disclaimer: very slow burn. This book is a little never than the last as far as the story with the MC goes. There seems to be maybe a little more of a resolution with the cult... Maybe? 🤔 Possibly? We also get to meet Allison's rehab friend who's in need of some saving. We meet a new member, Celt, who's in need of a safe home for his spunky daughter. This book has a lot of action so you won't miss the lack of "romance" until you realize wait, it's done?🤦🏾‍♀️ Still A great read.

The Irishman

3.5 stars.
This book has more exciting adventures in it. The cult is taken care of, we meet a new member of the club, and Alison's friend from rehab, Grace, is our girl.
Her ex-husband is stalking her, abusing her, and had threatened to unalive her.
Celt is starting new with his daughter, Dusty. It's a sassy little thing that knows everything. Lol.
When everything goes to hell, we meet another family member who isn't as great as these guys but is willing to help.
There was 0 spice. Unlike the other books, we got nothing in this book.
It does have triggers, so beware.

Celt and Grace

I have to say that I have loved the Dark Slayers MC series and this is a great addition to it. Celt is fresh out of prison and is leaving his father’s 1%’ers, taking up with his cousin’s MC and raising his daughter. Grace is running from an abusive ex and when caught in a bad situation it’s the Dark Slayers who come to help. Now Grace is trying to overcome her fear in trusting others after what her ex has put her through.

This book was a great read and I’ve become a fan of this author.

Celt was just released from prison and is trying to get his 9 year old daughter out of foster care. Her mother died from an overdose while Celt was still in prison. His father is the President of an ally club, Dark Steel. Because they are into more illegal goods is why Celt went to prison.

Ok

Okay, but not the best, and if your thinking this book will be a hot passion, like the first 3, don't waist your time. I love any book that has a hero, and a hot woman to be saved along with passion and sex. This book has none of passion. These are just my preferences, however , when I start a new series that has all the elements I love this one came up short and not as good as the other ones
