Charisma -- My mother died when I was a teen. My dad had never been in the picture, and I ended up in the system. When the high school quarterback took advantage, no one believed me. Then I landed in true hell… my foster mom was a monster who preyed on the children in her home. When I aged out of the system, I stayed in the hopes I could save the boys who were assigned to live with her. She let me, as long as I paid in blood. The never-ending cycle of abuse sickened me and wore me down. I felt powerless. Until he showed up.

Phantom -- My mission was simple. Find the woman preying on young boys and end her. I didn’t count on the bewitching young woman, little girl, and two boys living with the monster. Now they’re mine. My family. When their demons come searching for them, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Even call in reinforcements from other clubs. Someone should have warned me I needed to protect myself as well. I never counted on Charisma’s dad showing up, nor could I have ever guessed who he was. Things just got complicated.

WARNING: Phantom contains darker subjects that may trigger some readers as well as bad language, violence, and adult situations. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed Happily-Ever-After.

Harley Wylde is the International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil's Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.

When Harley's writing, her motto is the hotter the better -- off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can't deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you've come to the right place. She doesn't shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

The times Harley isn't writing, she's thinking up naughty things to do to her husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She's also fond of TV shows and movies from the 1980's, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990's to today, even though she'd much rather be reading or writing.

Phantom has never hidden that all he's wanted is a family of his own; however, he's all but given up on that ever happening. Then while on a mission to take out the woman that hurt his cousin, Phantom comes across his forever. He's finally found everything he has ever wanted when he saves Charisma, her daughter and the two brothers she was protecting. My heart hurt for Phantom and I loved every moment he had with his family, knowing how much he wanted that.

Charisma has only know pain since her mom died and she went into the system. She was a natural protector and nurturer. She had a quiet strength vowing to protect those she loved no matter the consequences to herself. With Phantom she finally found her safe haven and home, the one man that would stop at nothing to keep her safe and loved. He loved and accepted not only Charisma but the kids as well. Without hesitation he became a husband and father, two things he always wanted and I love that about him.

From their first moment meeting him, Phantom showed Charisma and the kids that there was nothing he wouldn't do to protect them, keep them safe and help them heal. With his club brothers always at his back Phantom made sure nothing bad ever touched his family again. I can't express how amazing this story is and it is definitely a new favorite. Harley Wylde continues to blow me away with her ability to show us beauty and strength comes in all shapes and sizes, which is why she's one of my absolute favorite authors.

Charisma has had a rough start. With her foster mother abusing her and her foster brothers, she doesn’t know if there is a chance for them. Phantom aka Kenji saw how Heather abused his brother. Samurai healed but she was still abusing kids. That had to stop. He wasn’t going to let it go on. He was going to save those that were still left there.

I love that Phantom made things right for not only Samurai but for Charisma and the kids. Those kids deserved a good happy life. Of course Shade helped out with papers and name changes. Li, Jian, and Nova are happy now and have a family and love. Even Momo is thrilled. Charisma is stronger than she ever realized. She protected those kids from the beginning and even though she took some of the abuse and lost her hearing, she found peace. We did have a bit of an issue though. But the club did what they all do, they were a family and took care of business. We even got a surprise for Charisma. This one wasn’t as dark in the end. Charisma didn’t have to suffer again and I think that was right. Each MC has grown and found its own. They have saved women and children time and again. What a wonderful feeling.

If you're read the previous Devil's Boneyard books, Phantom is always somewhere to help his brothers, the club, or their families. When Samurai shares what happened to him as a kid, Phantom is determined to exact revenge on the person responsible for his suffering. However, he finds out that Samurai wasn't the only one and he finds out about four others that are still suffering.

Charisma, our heroine, has stayed to protect two of the boys that are currently in the same situation that Samurai was forced to endure. Charisma has paid the price and so has her daughter. When she needs a hero the most, Phantom is there to provide it.

This is a dark story that does have a happily ever after. However, there are real life situations that might be a little unsettling. Don't worry because Harley works her magic and takes the reader on the adventure that finishes with a happily ever after. Phantom finally gets the family he deserves. The book world is better because of it.

I highly recommend this book! Read the previous books in the series as well. You won't regret it.

Harley Wylde does not disappoint with Phantom, the latest in her MC series, Devil's Boneyard MC. Phantom is not only going to pull out your heart strings and tie them in a bow but it is a beautiful passionate sultry hot cha cha cha story that is definitely worth the read. I didn't want the story to end honestly. However, that's what is so special about Harley's books-you get this awesome story with great characters and you don't want it to end.

Phantom and Charisma were amazing together as expected!!! I love how phantom was immediately protective of not only Charisma, but her foster brothers as well!! I was so excited for Phantom to finally get the family he always wanted and deserved! I also loved Charisma’s protective and loving streak! I always enjoy catching up with the other families in each new story as well!! Perfect couple!!!

This is one brother I was excited for him to find his forever. Phantom had wanted to have a family. A woman to his and children. Charisma had not had the easiest life. She came with two kids and Phantom was honest and all he wants to do is protect his family. I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and once again Harley Wylde did it again. Well done. I highly recommend this book

Phantom has finally gotten the one thing he'd ever wanted in life, a family of his own. With that comes some obstacles that threatened his happiness, Charisma don't trust anyone because of what she went through. Meeting Phantom and seeing not everyone is a monster gave her that extra push towards having her own happiness. This author has become one of my favorite writers, love her writing style and her characters, it's why I'm recommending Phantom and giving it five stars.❄❄❄

I loved this story. I have been waiting for Phantom for as long as he has been waiting for his family. This story shows Charisma’s strength and what she will endure for those she loves. The best part is everyone coming together to ensure that Phantom’s family is protected and loved like they always should have been! The men and women of Devil’s Boneyard have been through some serious crap but they will protect theirs at all costs! I totally can’t wait to find out who Charming is hiding! I love Harley and her books and if you haven’t read them you are missing out.

Phantom was always one of the characters that I wanted a story. Charisma has such a sad story, but Phantom takes one look and her and falls hard. Phantom is slightly dark side but it's a beautiful story.

Really different

Knew I would love Phantom! The fact that he longed to be a Dad was sexy as hell! I figured for sure the Biker super sperm would knock up Charisma! I liked this ending better. So glad Harley mentioned Irish and Janessa, my favorites in this series!

Phantom has recently learned some troubling information about his cousin and sets out to right wrongs. During the way he finds Charisma and her "kids". He's always wanted a family to call his own and it seems like fate has given a chance with Charisma and the 3 kids. We get to see the men of Devil's Boneyard come together to help Phantom get what he's always wanted. I've always loved how strong Harley Wylde makes her heroines and Charisma is no different she's lived a life filled with pain and sadness and is still a beautifully kind hearted woman doing her best to protect not only her daughter but the brothers in the home as well. This story will break your heart and heal it all at the same time I can't wait to see not only what is next for the Devil's Boneyard but all their allied clubs as well.

Each one of this author's heroes is memorable and loveable in their own ways. I have a few favorites and now I have another! Phantom is just the sweetest, most cuddly, best dad biker ever! His care, his support, his love for his new family is just amazing. Charisma is a gem, she didn't let life's sorrows harden her heart. She loves her daughter and her foster brothers, does everything to protect them and has the scars to show for it. She sees the kindness in Phantom and takes the chance to have a true family. They form the most loving family and it was so beautiful to experience, 6 stars for Charisma and Phantom!

Phantom and charisma’s story was intense and heart wrenching but also beautiful and so full of love, I’m glad phantom got the family he wanted and what a family that is! I think this is probably become one of my favorites of all her books! My guess is I will read it over over again and still won’t be able to get enough! Harley Wylde Writes books that brings light to the atrocities that go on all over the world and makes you think! I highly recommend this book and all her others!

Exquisitely captivating and heartbreakingly beautiful journey to go on with Charisma and Phantom. My heartstrings were definitely pulled and in so many directions. This story absolutely blew me away and left me breathless. I knew all along Phantom would a huge teddy bear and treat his family like precious gems. The only thing that bothered me about this story is that it ended. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Oh my goodness this book! It tugs on your heart right from the beginning and drag you in completely. Charisma, her daughter Nova and the boys have had s*i^ lives. The horrors that they've lived is unfathomable. Phantom
is seeking vengeance for his cousin and in the process saves these four. This is such an incredible fast paced, age gap story. This author has such an incredible gift for telling these stories just as they should be told and Phantom has taken my breath away.

Wow!!! I was hoping with fingers crossed that Phantom would get an old lady and kids, and boy, did he!!! He has one look at Charisma and the poor kids, in a horrible situation, and claims them all as his...

Loved the storyline. Loved Charisma and Phantom. He finally found his hea with his ready made family. I was hoping that she would get pregnant against all odds and maybe the baby boy she thought was dead would be found alive. But overall it's a five star read.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Phantom is the tenth book in the ‘’devil’s boneyard MC’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Phantom is a biker that has wanted a family of his own for a long time. Whilst trying to get revenge for his cousin, he meets Charisma. From the moment Phantom saves Charisma and the kids love blossoms.
The chemistry between Phantom and Charisma is clear to see and I liked them together.
I like how different Charisma’s name is.
I loved that Charisma finally had her father in her life.
I really liked the bond Phantom and Charisma had with the kids. The lengths Charisma did to protect them made my heart ache/melt.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

🔥🔥🔥 Another stunner, Charisma and Phantom what a couple! The strength Charisma shows in her actions to stay where she is and the unbelievable horrors she goes through. Phantom is more than happy to help and avenge her and be his alpha self and also a strong father figure to the core as he’s always wanted a family.

Be warned this is a sad one and a tear jerker way they meet but the strength both of them show one another and how their relationship grows and matures the other story. A must read!

This thrilling story had me on the edge of my seat. Phantom went after the woman who made his cousin suffer and in doing so found that there were other children with her under duress not to mention Charisma and her daughter. He didn't think his plan all the way through because the man that was supposed to adopt the younger boy found them. Now the MC is rallying to find this man and make sure that he doesn't get to the boy who is now Phantom's son. Will they find him before he finds his son? This story drew me in and had my emotions all over the place.

This was a really good read. The characters had been through so much, and yet they fit together quite well. A ready-made family for Phantom, finally, and found in the course of getting revenge for his cousin. It had a few interesting twists along the way, and kept me glued until the last page.
