Priest

I’m Priest, President of the Disciples of Satan Motorcycle club. I rule my patch with an iron fist that keeps our enemies at bay. When I’m taken captive by Hades Outlaws, I’m sure I’m as good as dead. I didn’t expect help from an unlikely source.

Nico is a prospect. He should be seen and not heard. Yet he’s risking his neck to save my life. Going against his club is a death sentence, but he’s determined to get me out of Hades compound. I didn’t expect to fall for him along the way. Now, my saviour is also the man I want.

Nico

I’m a pariah in my club. Hades Outlaws will never respect me. When they capture Priest I know it’s the end for us. His brothers will burn our clubhouse to the ground. I have one chance to be free from Hades—save a man who is supposed to be my enemy. When I look at Priest I don’t see a devil in leather and denim. I see my salvation.

Nope. Definitely not. This was bloody awful. I’m not quite sure where to even start when it comes to this one, because I honestly don’t think there was a single thing I liked here.

Most importantly, I absolutely despised the romance. I’m not even sure if I can call it such, since there wasn’t a shred of love to be found between these two.
The horror of it already began at the very beginning. Priest is taken prisoner by his rival motorcycle club and they also kill his best friend in the whole wide world. Obviously he’s all angry and ragey about it, but fear not! Because while he is being strung up and beaten within an inch of his life, Priest still finds the time to admire one of his enemy’s good looks. The lust he feels for Nico is instant, so they start hooking up pretty much immediately. This, of course, all happens while Priest is still being tortured. Sure. Okay. Lovely.
Then, after a little while, Nico helps him escape because they’re apparently in love somehow, so he doesn’t want Priest to die and he hates his own club anyway. Alright, fine, I’ll roll with it.
However, what do you think happens after that? Nico delivers Priest to his friends and as a thanks he is beaten to a pulp, treated like an animal, and that’s that. Eventually Priest puts a stop to the torture, but he still treats Nico like absolute trash. You’d think the guy would be grateful, but noooo way. He’s not. He acts as if Nico is no more than the dirt beneath his shoe and Nico just stands there and takes it.
The worst of it is that this all goes on for the entire rest of the book. It doesn’t even get better in any way. It sucked and I hated it so much. This relationship was absolutely terrible.

The plot was dreadfully boring as well, because it couldn’t possibly be any more repetitive.
And then that ending scene where Nico killed his ENTIRE clubhouse while armed only with a freaking knife? Please. I could hardly contain my laughter. It was ridiculous. All of it was.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK did I just read? I LOVED IT!!!

Okay first, you have to be in the mood for a very dark and bloody story to like this one! Second, that’s what I’m talking about when I say, I want the whole freaking MC-romance experience!! - guns, raw violence, foul language, depravity and a fucking bar as the centre of the clubhouse (and not a kitchen instead like in the one I dnf’d the other day *lolll)

And somehow this author managed to push all my buttons with this dark shit.

Meet Priest (34, prez of the Disciples MC) and Nico (20, prospect in the arch-rival Hades MC and son of their prez).

He’s my taste of heaven before he sends me to hell.

I want to be his. And more importantly, I want him to be mine.




In the beginning, before they met, everything points toward Priest liking to dominate his partners in bed in a very rough and detached manner; to stay in control, to break them and to own them. I’m not much into that tbh, so it was a big surprise (I guess for Priest too) that at some point he trusted Nico enough to let him take over. I freaking loved the reversed power dynamics. (only in bed ofc, never at the club)

“Give it to me, Priest. Give me that control. Hand it over.”



I loved how Nico stood his ground to this fearsome man before him. Even when anybody else in his shoes would’ve bowed down.

“People always underestimate me,” I say.
“It’s a mistake.”



Gawd, these two were good together. ♡ This whole damn thing, really. I hope there is more of it coming. I want all of these guys stories!



Apart from that there is nothing really to ride home about plot-wise; no depth to the storyline, no real depth to the characters. There was only a lot of potential that stayed unused - but the base we got gave solid ground to make the love-story intense af - and this was only 200 pages.

This book also could’ve used a little more editing, there were a few typos and sometimes the writing felt a bit repetitive but honestly, at this point, at how much I loved this, I don’t give a shit.

An angel amongst the devil...
I raise my eyes to his and I swear his mouth opens in a gasp as our gazes meet. He's haunted and lost. There's also a darkness in them that calls to my own.
Even the devil was an angel once.


omg this was so good?? i was invested throughout the whole book—not just with the romance, but also the story (the revenge/avenge aspect was so satisfying 😭). i loved both Nico and Priest quite equally tbh. i loved how, although Nico was the softer one between the two, he also didn't take shit. he stood up against Priest, against anyone who treated him like shit (with certain exceptions that were understandable to me), but, from his backstory, he definitely suffered the most yet seeing him still standing strong, despite it all, had me admiring him greatly. on the other hand, Priest, being the leader of the Disciples MC, was hard and cruel but i loved his loyalty and protectiveness towards his club and its members. seeing his own version of soft towards Nico as the story progresses and how he was possessive over him was just everything. not to mention, i loved how he'd let his walls down around Nico and trusted him to the point of willing to be submissive in bed and have Nico being the one to take care of him but, outside of it, he's still the same Priest everyone fears and respects. the tension and desire between these two had me on the edge of my seat as much as the action packed scenes lol. some of the side characters had me intrigued and possibly... future stories for them? 👀🥹 also!! this is a short book that surprisingly didn't feel short? i feel like it had a good enough story to keep me entertained. of course, i do wish Nico and Priest had more moments together, as well as development, but i honestly never felt like anything was missing.

p.s. seeing Nico

thank you to Kati for putting this book on my radar!! 😌🤍

3.5 stars ⭐ “well this was fucked up” 🤤

I've been craving for a dark, twisted and toxic as fuck romance because reading healthy relationships back to back had been giving me hives.

This wasn't anything twisted or toxic, well for my standards anyway, but it sure as fuck was dark. I honestly don't have a metric anymore of what could possibly be too dark (yeah that sounds fucked up, I know) but this definetly pulled some strings I didn't think it was capable of pulling. And for that, my dark, twisted and damned soul was damn well sated 😌😌😌

I spit a mouthful of blood at Judge, feeling some satisfaction when it lands on his cheek. My lips twist into a dark smirk. Stupid motherfucker thinks I’ll talk, but he’s underestimated me. You can’t break something that’s already broken.


Love the possessive vibes 🤤
The protective vibes 🥵
The “look at him and I will gut your eyes” 🤚
The YOU'RE MINE scenes 😩
And the way Priest surrendered to Nico 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧




I honestly admired and fucking loved the way Nico teetered to Priest throughout the book, until the fucking end. The way he smirked at him, helped him, kissed him... Even when Priest was being an absolute jerk, one would've called him stupid for staying anyway, but it was Nico staying and seeing the good AND bad parts, the ugly and untame parts of Priest and still fighting strongly for him, making him SEE what they had together was nothing short of mother fucking amazing. It was the way he was unwaveringly there for Priest that made me melt.


I want to claw at him, drag my nails over the hard planes of his muscles, taste him. I want to let him fuck me, digging his fingers into my hips until he bruises me.
I want to be his.
And more importantly, I want him to be mine.






I brush the dirt from the knees of my jeans. “It’s not freedom, but it’s the best I can offer right now.”




He showed me mercy, kept me sane in this place. Fed me, gave me water and painkillers. He’s done something no one else ever has—he’s taken care of me.


And puhleaseeeeeee. Even when Priest kept Nico at an arm's length, he went APE SHIT when Nico looked at another guy and I 👏 lived 👏 for 👏 it.


I'm looking forward for this series. I haven't tried either of these author, well I've tried the Caged Duet but I wasn't in the mood for it at that time. I'm looking forward for what Amy has further along in her career.

Even the devil was an angel once.


I have a few VERY opinionated opinions because I wanted this to be a 4 star but this book flopped on:

- Book lenght. This was TOO SHORT. I looked at the pages and was shocked it wasn't even 200 pages. While it's great and all they managed to compress so much plot and romance and development under it, things had to be sacrificed like: Pacing. It felt like every damn chapter we walked 5 steps forward, not 1. I don't want to say this book felt rushed because that doesn't feel right, but the natural growth of development within the pages of this book wasn't-or didn't feel- as smooth and translucent as it appeared on page.

- the Writing. The prose and the general monologue could've been better. The book didn't have to waste paragraphs upon telling me how much of a bastard Priest was, it can be conveyed through his actions-hell, the opening of this book. It made him calling himself devil incarnate cheap and overdramatic and it lost the jest and power to be effective. Like I said, this book is dark in terms of action. But upon prose is where the strength wavers because it writes to be dark and that itself is a bad sign because it shouldn't feel like it's trying to be dark, it should fucking resonate with the reader like the no bullshit character that is Priest.

These are my only complaints of this book but I have hope for these two authors and I hope for greater improvement throughout this series. Can't wait to see who's next although I have a feeling it's Saint.

4.5 Stars!

I loved this book!! I was in the mood for a dark romance and this delivered!

Priest/Leon and Nico/Blade were f*cking awesome together. I enjoyed their story, their dynamic together and all of the action and violence.

Based on some other reviews, it seems this book is definitely not for everyone. So just know what you’re going into and be in the mood for dark romance.

Also, I really liked the other brothers in the Disciples MC and I can’t wait to read about them. Really excited for the next book in this series.

My only complaint is that there were so many little typos or missing words. Please pls pls get someone to proofread in the future. I will gladly do it! Sign me up.

🖤☠️🖤 DON’T LISTEN TO PUSSIES!! IF YOU LOVE DARK MM MC READS, READ THIS BOOK! 🖤☠️🖤

Seriously this is an amazing read! It’s raw, gritty, filthy, violent and verbally profane. So don’t be looking for polite heroes in this book from Authors Amy Thorn and Raven Amor, and then bleat because your delicate senses have been offended by the oppressing darkness that the world they’ve created, wraps you in. They’re dark MM Romance Authors, and have delivered exactly what was promised in the blurb and the warning – sex, violence and bad language.

Bear this in mind because PRIEST is not a book for everyone.

In the vein of Shakespeare’s Romeo and a burly male Juliet equivalent, this MM MC book mirrored the deadly rivalry between opposing houses, or MC’s in this case, and our lovers aren’t so young, nor are they hapless. Brothers are hated with a burning and violent passion merely for the family they’re born into or belong to. And while I felt the theme of our characters and their darkness within was written rather repetitively, it was accurate and it would be an insult to call the intense connective emotions between Priest and Nico romantic. It is still every bit as much of a love story, but if readers want a romantic mushy kind of love, then they’re going to be hella disappointed.

Priest and Nico both own their sexuality, but Nico keeps his a closely guarded secret, that his father, President of the Hades Outsiders, regularly and viciously punishes him for. His situation is complicated as you will soon appreciate throughout the book, and choices may be spoken off, but, what would you choose if the only alternative was death???

I liked Priest and Nico for each other. These two were individually strong, didn’t bow under the face of pressure, unless they chose to, nor used to giving control to another. For me, the created balance of Enemies-to-lovers, forbidden almost age-gap love worked between them.

There were some pretty hot and steamy encounters going on and the written scenes scorched my eyeballs. Hells teeth but the passion (probably the wrong word for MM MC characters!!) was off the charts hot, taking over their senses before the reality of their situations kicked back in. Priest did blow hot and cold with Nico, but, they did belong to rival MC’s, and the reality of their situation meant that death would inevitably the result should their paths ever cross.

PRIEST is a reasonably quick and easy read at 30k odd words, so a lot of main and side character investment is missing. I still developed an intense hatred for the Nico’s brothers in Hades Outlaws, and loved those who unquestionably had Priest’s back in his MC, Satan’s Disciples. Their respect and loyalty to him was evident, even as they swallowed their frustrations at the situation they’d all found themselves in. The grief and anger was palpable and my heart broke for them all.

Seriously, I loved this book. For me there were a couple of issues involving repetition, but they didn’t detract from the overall flow and feel for the book, especially as it is a short novel. It’s one that I recommend for lovers of this genre – absolutely check it out. 4.5 Stars 🖤☠️🖤

*** I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book***

Priest is a fast moving MC romance between two unlikely people. Priest and Nico are members of opposing motorcycle clubs that through a series of decision from both clubs are drawn together.
Priest is the president of the Disciples of Satan and is kidnapped from an opposing MC, Hades Outlaws.

Nico is the son of the Hades Outlaws president and a prospect, who is tasked with keeping Priest alive while he is being held captive. Both Nico and Priest share an instant connection and through a series of events rely on each other for survival and revenge.

Overall, Priest is a thrilling story that combines elements of instalove along with an opposites attract element. I enjoyed this first entry and look forward to reading more stories from this exciting world.

4.5 ⭐️

OOH, this book kept me on my toes!!

Lot parts of this book hurt because everyone in this book are so fucking intense and full of hatred and anger. However, it gives me the intensity I wanted and that’s all I care about. The homophobia in this one so FUCKING HURT I CRIED, it cut through so deep that I flinched. Ugh, I hate it here, but I like the book. Do you get me? Dear author, please be nice next time.

It’s always a weird experience for me to read sex after a mess. Like after a fight, it’s not something I would like. But the reasoning and the writing behind the situation in this book made me love this so much. I enjoyed it.

I also loooved the way Priest let go, The way he didn’t realise he craves for something out of his mind. The control he wants to give up once he found Nico and the vulnerability is everything. Damn, it feels so comforting reading it.

(…)”but to give in, hand it over to someone else…? As much as I hate it, fought against it, it is fucking good.


And even after all of the pulling of attraction Priest and Nico has for each other, Priest’s grieve kept the story going, more push and pull and angst that kept the story going. The guilty moments hurt like crazy! 😩😩 Though I can imagine someone who wouldn’t like it hahah I was just in the right moood for this 😙

Although I have to say that the amazing writing stopped at 90%. It seems like the depth of the story faded a little. The last action scene was not expected, and I have to say that what I was expecting was way better LOL I needed more action, betrayals that actually hurt and more saving lives, please. I needed what I was expecting, damn it! Well, maybe after this book I’ll get them :)

“I don’t know what the future holds. Tomorrow isn’t promised in this life. What I do know is that I will love Nico with every breathe I have until the Grim Reaper comes for me.”


Ugh, I want someone to love me until Grim Reaper come get me too HMPH! 😫

Amy Thorn has become one of favorite authors because of the In The Caged Duet (Caged In Darkness and Caged In Fire), so I was so excited when I saw another book by her and quickly grabbed it.

I was a bit disappointed by Priest and so I wanted to like it as much as I love In The Caged duet.

Pros:
1) I love how the main characters are similar in size or both are at least muscular. I agree the size difference with one being so short and thin (twinkly) to the other's gigantic size.
2) This is a true antagonist or antihero story. I hate it when authors market their books as with "ambiguously moral characters" it bad boys stories but the characters ended up actually really sweet and morally correct even when they're the head of the Mafia or MC gang or drug gang. Ugh so terrible. Priest actually is the real antihero. He does so illegal things including killing without remorse.

Cons:
1) Nico's character actually annoyed me and didn't work for me. His character was underdeveloped. I just didn't understand the dynamics between son and father and how father became the way he was. Nico also kept repeating himself constantly about hating the Hades. We for the first time and the second time. But we kept being reminded of it almost every chapter where he's the POV. It was tiring.
2) I thought it was illogical to have Nico and Priest have a sex while Priest's life was literally hanging in the balance and Nico was also fearing for his life. It reminds of those to stupid campy horror films where the running from the killer but they stop to have sex. Just no! Ugh.
3) Though I love the plot and premise of the story, I felt the narrative arc was quite lacking. I felt the story dragged on longer than it should.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Holy Toledo, what an amazing ride this story is! This dark MC story has one incredible romance, more than a singular mystery and so much more.

Priest is such a controlling character, but then again, being the president of the Disciples of Satan MC he needs to be in control at all times. His decisive nature and absolute love for his club is what makes him a great leader. Is he arrogant? Is he demanding? Yes and yes. But he is also loyal to a fault.

Nico is a young mistreated guy from a rival club, his life is absolute hell most of the time and my heart went out to him. Actually, for much of the book I wanted to shelter him from his father, the other brothers in that club and anyone who hurt him. But he is strong, his endurance has been built up and he needed it too.

I loved how Nico was ready to explore a possible relationship with Priest no matter the consequences. Through his determination to help Priest he opens up more than Priest ever realised could be explored in his life.

With the escalation of the drama in the story as well as the action, the intensity of the storyline increases and I found myself flipping through the pages as fast as possible to find out what happens. If that’s not a sign of a great story I don’t know what is!

I enjoyed this writing duo and hope they co-write more books together.

You either love it, it you hate it from the bottom of your heart. There’s no in between with this book.

Turns out, I’m one of those who love it, despite it being VERY far from what I usually read. Maybe it’s just been my frame of mind (actually… I don’t want to think about WHY this book was perfect for my frame of mind 😳). This book is the written equivalent to a gory splatter movie with larger than life, COMPLETELY unrealistic characters, where you don’t end up quaking in your boots, but grab a huge bag of popcorn and enjoy the ride.

But ofc, you have to turn the logical part of your brain off, because this book doesn’t have a good plot, and the characters are very one-dimensional.

So don’t ask me why I loved it, I can’t explain it. It’s silly, cruel, gory, and predictable. But sometimes that’s exactly what you need to turn your brain off - so give it a try. If you don’t like it after 10%, do yourself a favour and put it to the side.

Good lord what a ride, I was afraid it would be too soft, that it would be romanticized, but no the opposite is true. It was raw, bloody hurtful, rough, and dark with a capital!
Clapping hands in applause, well done, absolutely well done!

A rollercoaster of events, high speed paced, strongly written, vicious, and super entertaining.
Two motorcycles clubs, one with respect for their club matters, who will give their life for the club, and one where the members are disrespectful, untrustworthy, and the scum of the earth.
Priest is the president of the first one, Nico is from the second and not Priest’s enemy. How?
Read it yourself! I was thrilled with this story!

Ok so Amy Thorn is fast becoming one of my fav authors because she not only writes MC characters that are amazing...but they are MM too!! What else could you need in a story?
Raven Amor is a new to me author but I'll definitely look up more of her work after reading this!
So Priest and Nico meet up in the worst way you can imagine... Priest is at his most vulnerable and cant imagine when the person he least expected rocks up on his side.
Nico is lost and struggling to find his place in the world when he stumbles across someone who may not only change his wold but rock it too!
These guys are so similar but so different all at the same time.. i LOVED them together.
An easy to read book with a dark side with some steamy scenes thrown in.. all I ever want in a story!!!

Amy Thorn and Raven Amor brings all the dark, dirty and action packed beauty of MC romance in Priest. This dark MM romance is a treat for every reader who lover their men dangerous and alpha and deviant to extremes.

Priest, the President of Disciples of Satan MC is ambushed and captured by Hades, a rival MC. They planned to torture and kill him but there he meets Nico. Son of the enemy. Gay. Tortured and dying inside. Nico makes a deal with Priest. He will help Priest to escape and Priest will give him a safe home in his own MC. They have an electric attraction and dark desires are swirling between them. Will Priest keep his promise and make Nico his own? Can Nico make the Disciples trust him?

I love MM romance because it is always double the fun. I got two gorgeous and devilishly sexy men to drool over. Priest and Nico are both fire and thunder. Possessive. Alpha. Dark. Dangerous. My heart ( and panties) stood no chance. This book goes in graphic details of the violence that comes with MC life. And all the blood and death gives it a twisted vibe. That I loved so much. Nico is a damaged soul who was barely surviving in his old club and Priest gave him the escape. It was not easy. He had to pay the price and prove himself. He had to show that he is nothing like his old MC. He has pride and loyalty and dedication and everything that makes a great MC member. Priest and Nico connected in a dangerous time. Priest has this need to be in control. The rivals hurt him and his brothers and he was burning for revenge. He wanted Nico to escape from the pain but he was also trying to keep him at distance. But Nico is persistent and intense and he broke through Priest's barriers. It was super filthy with scorching hot sex scenes those carried an emotional load too. The ending was epic.

If you love your MM romance to be dark, edgy and steamy like sun..Priest by Amy Thorn and Raven Amor is for you.

Why was this so short? The plot was interesting, but it seemed like a summary of what happened. It should have been a lot longer than under 200 pages. I didn’t feel connected with either character to the point that if they died then oh well. It just seemed so rushed and not well thought out.

Holy freaking shizzballs people!!! This book is 0-60 and I was left, catching my breath from the get-go!
I don't even know how to sum this story up without giving something away! But this gut-clenching, heart stopping, breath stealing story will swallow you whole and have you questioning your moral compass.
What it won't have you questioning is the balls to the wall loyalty and brotherhood of Priest and the members of his MC.
This book is dark, gritty and can I say HOT AF!!!
And colour me surprised when I saw that its a co-write!! This writing duo is seamless, the story is fluid and consistent and has left me wanting more from this pair!!

Such a fantastic read! The moment it begins you know its going to be great. It has a ton of action and even a couple ooo and ahhh moments that will leave you gasping!

Nico and Priest are so good for and with each other. They have a connection that will make you want it for yourself. I love how they got each other. How they could each just be themselves and not worry about the others judgement!

It was a romance that wakes you up and lets you see MC's in a little bit of different light as to not all are the same when it comes to some things and the rules are what make them great!

Please check trigger warnings before you read

Amy Thorn is a new to me author and she has found a forever fan in me. Raven Amor, I have been a fan of for a while now and have loved every book I’ve read of hers.

Priest is a MC dark MM romance. Priest is President of the Disciples of Satan Motorcycle club and Nico is prospect to a rival MC club called Hades Outcast.

This story is raw, gritty, intense and violent. I absolutely loved Priest and Nico together. Priest is out of the closet whereas Nico has to keep his sexuality a secret.

I was hooked from the very beginning and loved every word!

From the opening line of Priest, I knew I was going to love this book, it jumps straight in and im here for it.  Boy was it a twisty and adrenaline fueled ride. I was gripped from the start, 6% and they nearly have me crying!! Priest and nico's story is passionate, dark, gritty, dangerous, dirty and intense with kept secrets that are bound to be spilled and chemistry that so hot it sizzles off the page. I loved every single word, ate it up, I felt all the emotions, the love, the loss, the insane guilt and rage.

If you love dark and dirty MM MC like me this is definitely one you need to read.

This was very dumb but entertaining. It was also a very quick read so I finally finished an M/M Romance this year!! *throws confetti*

Things to expect when reading this book:

- biker cliches and tropes galore
- serious on page violence and torture

Things to better not expect when reading this book:

-Atmosphere. You don't need pesky details like what the air smells like, what the lighting situation is or where in fuck the action takes place

- Character descriptions. Who needs to know what anybody looks like when reading. Just make it up yourself lazy reader!

- Geography to matter. This is set in London. Which is mentioned like twice. Other than the occasional "arse" and "prick" you wouldn't know from the way the characters otherwise talk or interact that this isn't set in the US and I wonder what the point was?

- Any kind of realism. Don't expect ANY.

- Any kind of internal character logic. The author tried. I could tell. Didn't work.

- I almost talked myself out of the two star rating writing this but I finished it so the rating stays

This was my first MM book. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because I don’t typically read this kind of troupe but as an ARC I wanted to give it a chance! And holy hell from the first sentence I was like this is hot……..umm is something wrong with me lol. This author can describe a very intense sex scene. I enjoyed reading about the MC and was sad about how the fallen brother is missed. And the torcher that a couple of the members endured. Over all this is a good read.

This was a good MC book to read. There's drama about two broken men that manages to find love. There is some abuse concerning both main characters.
I volunteer to review this Advanced Readers Copy of this book.

This is the first time reading something from this author but not the last. OMG, I have no words - this book is one of the best MC books I have ever read and I have read so so many. There is a lot of, for what some woud see, dark elements, there is angst and there is great heat! Leon and Nico balance one another and reading their story was exciting and thrilling. I truly cound't put this book down and I hope this is actually book 1 of a series as I would love to read about others from this MC.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This story is about Priest and Nico. Priest is the prez of the Mc Disciples of Satan. When he is in trouble Nico comes to his rescue. But Nico is form the rival gang. I love the M/M Mc . It has twists and turns. It is dark and full of rage and bloodshed. But also hot scenes and brotherhood, love and friendship. I loved it.

**Warning: Only for those who love a dark, gritty, sexy MM and aren’t put off by other people's negative/DNF so called “reviews”!!**

I’m not the devil incarnate-I’m the motherfucking devil himself.

The darkness festers inside of you.
Years of being exposed is bound to leave it’s mark on you.
They beat you down, spill your blood and break you.

Or are they remaking you?

Should they fear you?

I know what it feels like to be a caged animal, wanting freedom. I’m a lion caught behind the bars too.

Priest, President of the Disciples of Satan Motorcycle club knows that his rival club is waiting for the opportune moment to strike once and for all. Unfortunately, the strike leaves Priest in a vulnerable position as he tries to defend himself but the Hades Outlaws capture him.

Even in his element, allowing his demon to come out to play Priest knows he must keep on fighting and never give up on the hope that his brothers will come for him…but that hope is fading as the hits keep on coming.

One shadow steps forward though, a prospect whose eyes hide more than just secrets and a body unlike no other. His touch leaves searing marks against Priest skin and in his vulnerable position, Priest allows the prospect past his defences.

A deal made in the deepest pits of hell may just save them both and Priest never backs away from his word…but can he trust his enemy?

“You call them ‘the’ brothers, not ‘my’ brothers. Tells me where your loyalty lies…Come on, kid. Neither of us have to die here.”

The prince without the crown and no better than the filth that stains the floors of the Hades Outlaw club house. Nico will never be accepted for who he truly is, allow himself that comfort that someone will have his back and ride alongside the brothers…that he��s never claimed nor would he want to.

Every escape plan ends in the same result and as the months drag by Nico is clinging on not only his life but the darkness that lurks just beneath his skin. Nico knows he will never come back from the edge if he allows his walls to drop.

But, someone is calling out to his darkness, a kindred spirit within the walls of prison and Nico is the only one who could save them both. The rival President should send fear down his spine…except all he is doing is lighting embers within Nico and with the promise of breaking his own chains.

Turning his unguarded back on his so-called club is nothing…
Laying his trust in his enemy bloodied hands…could be Nico’s only chance.
Opening his heart for another…that might be a risk with fear of no return.

How can I hate him and yet want him so badly? He’s a drug to me, and the more I taste, the more I want him.

Priset & Nico…<3

Yes, this is MM and my my…this freaking hot!

This is a short story, with the events moving at a fast pace and the relationship forming between Priest & Nico, but this never felt rushed! Everything fell nicely into place, the storyline made sense and showed each aspect well.

Each time Priest & Nico were together, you felt the intense undercurrent energy and it would only take one slip for these two to ignite. There was more to each character than you are first led to believe, trust is something that is gained by the other, it’s given and not taken. Each move that they make is received even when they are pushing at each other, the power shifts between Priest & Nico thrust creating respect for each other.

I loved how this was created, the depth that Amy & Raven went to in such a short story to create this world and the characters were perfect.

This may not be everyone’s cup of tea…but, if you happen to like some edgy, dark, gritty and bloodshed with your morning brew then you are going to love this sexy MM read!

These are no princes riding to slay the demons…

These are two demons...riding to slay anyone who dares to cross them…

Even the devil was an angel once.

OMG!!!! I have no words…I am speechless….This is seriously an amazing read..I mean wow!!! This book is raw, gritty, filthy and violent. This book is dark and intense. I absolutely loved it! This incredible story is about rival motorcycle clubs. It is like Romeo and Juliet in a sense. However the lovers are not young and this story is not tragic. The love between Priest and Nico is not soft, fluffy or mushy. It is dark, raw, powerful and intense. These two made a great pair. They had crazy chemistry and there were some seriously steamy scenes in this book. I loved this book so much and I highly recommend to readers who love a dark and intense romance.
