Loved Blaze and Raven

This story is packed with love, suspense, steam and we get more of Blaze and Raven's story. Things haven't been easy for these two and they are about to get even worse. Raven has someone very unexpected from her past show up only to place fear in her and the boogeyman is trying to tear her from her family. Blaze is pushed to the limits trying to protect the woman he loves. Another great story from this author!!

EC Lands books started out strong. They are still good books as far as concept but they have basically become novellas. The characters are interesting, the villains are interesting, the possibilities of the stories endless. But they are no longer explored in depth. And the editing has become progressively worse. It's very sad. The potential isn't being reached. If the books after the initial series, DRMC Franklin, weren't free on Kindle unlimited I don't think I would continue to read them. I use KU to find books I will purchase for re reading later, however I cant justify the expense for these books. Or rather short stories. I hope the author slows down and takes the time to craft the stories you can see lurking underneath the rushed surface. These books and the numerous spinoffs have so much potential. I would much rather wait months for a fully fleshed out story. And please, get a new editor.

Protecting Blaze's Mark (Devil's Riot MC: Originals #10.5) by E.C. Land is about Blaze and Raven's journey which comes full circle with this emotional heart wrenching story that is more about the profound love and devotion between these two soulmates than club drama. The one constant thing between them is this fiery, explosive passion and desire between them is the same as the first time Blaze gave Raven his mark. But soon their happiness will be put to the test by an evil that has come back for Raven seeking revenge. Blaze is still being guided by his daughter Laura who was taken from him at a young age through dreams, when Blaze is giving a warning by Laura , he is told to protect Raven, her brothers and a new arrival from the Boogeyman.

Blaze vows to protect his woman and family from what is coming their way, with the help from his brothers he will protect Raven with his life. Haunted and scared with the meaning of his dream, he tells her about Laura's warning and about the Boogeyman, he also tells Raven that she is caring his daughter. When Raven learns she is pregnant once again her fears take over as she worries about her family Raven who has the same abilities as her mother Ela finally unburdens herself about her past to Blaze and tells him what happened to her on her 18 birthday and the man who she thought she killed. Now Raven knows he is has come back from the dead to try and destroy he life once again. Loved how all of the characters in previous books are mentioned in this story, ,Bear returning and helping Raven heal from her guilt over Momma B, as well as the truth about the Boogeyman's connection to Chains and Victoria. Now Blaze and Raven are put into a life or death situation when they are attacked, who will finally take down Boogeyman? A determined Raven will protect her man at all cost and now with the help from the men of the Devil's Riot MC they are racing against time to save Blaze, not even the fires of hell can separate these two as their destiny has been written in the wind. Throughout this story we witness all of the joy, fear and love that these two have experienced together and in the end Raven has embraced and cherished each mark Blaze has given her welcoming them into her life as these two soulmates look towards a future together as a family, one that will last a lifetime and beyond. E.C. Land thank you for allowing us into the lives of these two amazing characters. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next in the continuing story surrounding these charismatic bikers of the Devil's Riot MC and the women who are strong enough to be apart of this club.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, as the saying goes, and the Boogeyman is ready to unleash his wrath on Raven. With ominous warnings from beyond the grave, Blaze will have to stand between Raven and this revanant evil with all her is, or die trying. Raven's going to have to trust in her powers if she's going to get them through this alive, and protect her daughter from the evil that wants to destroy them.

This is the last chapter of Blaze and Raven's story, and a fitting end to their arc. Love, loyalty, betrayal, and a final acceptance of ability all move together towards an end. Raven is a strong character, even with her weakness she shines true as a defender of her family. She isn't weak when she places her trust in Blaze to stand between her (and through her their children) and whatever danger is coming for them. Blaze, for all his flaws, is the perfect foil for Raven. His heartbreak at Laura's death has made him all the more determined to keep the ones he loves alive.
Together, Raven and Blaze evolve into who they have to be, trading their vulnerabilities into strength, and their broken pasts into a mending future.

Well written, and a very enjoyable experience.
I only hope for better in the future, knowing that this author can deliver on it.

This is the third installment in the ongoing story of Blaze & Raven, and EC Land does not disappoint. This couple has really been through the wringer, and have finally come out on the other side--and with a new daughter in tow. As always, there are lots of breadcrumbs to other stories. We've got the return of Bear & Viper, some links to the Delancy crime family (which I really hope will be gone into further detail in another chapter of this continuing saga), and the suggestion that the Supreme Masters are also playing havoc with the Irish Alliance and other MC charters. My own opinion is that it is well beyond time to wrap up the whole Supreme Masters storyline. It's been dragging on for at least the last 10 chapters of this saga with no seeming end in sight. It's been going on so long it's hard to even remember all the many times they've been part of this story. Please put them to bed and go on to another enemy the Devils Riot MC can vanquish!

I must say that I loved this book. It had me from the first chapter. It holds a special place in my heart because of the characters. I simply love their connection. They make me feel like they are true soulmates. There isn't a single thing they wouldn't do for each other. They are each other's strength, determination, weakness, happiness and anchor. That is very rare even in the book world. Ms. Land certainly knows how to keep you on edge as you read and toss in surprises and twists that shock you because you didn't see it coming. It is a must have read! There is danger, action, secrets, betrayal, love and more that these two and the mc family will experience. It is non stop action going on from the beginning to the end. Never a dull moment. It keeps you on edge as you read and try to figure out what will be next. So worth every minute you spend reading! Spectacular! I am ready for the next book!!!

This book was a very quick read. I was 1 chapter in and realized I wished I had read the previous books in the series. I think it would have helped me understand some of the supporting cast of Characters. However, as the book went on, I could place who was who and the book really took off.

Blaze (Liam) and Raven are the main characters in this book. They have 2 sons and Raven, or as Liam calls her "Little Bird" finds out she is pregnant with #3.Which wasn't supposed to happen after the rough time she had with the last pregnancy, but they are both fine with it.

Another interesting thing these two share . . .Raven sees auras and Liam has dreams that are pretty spot on. This is a good thing, normally, but right now it isn't. It's a good thing they have the MC behind them.

Blaze and Raven are back and their story finally comes to an end. So we know that Blaze and Raven have been through so much since the beginning of their relationship. It has not been easy for these two. However, they manage to stay strong and get through all the horrible things. Now this time they listen to the winds and try and prepare for the upcoming battles. We also learn that Raven is pregnant and this all becomes scarier. You remember her past pregnancy and what they went through. Hopefully this time it won't be anything like that. Sometimes you think the past will stay in the past but that is not the case for Raven. It all gets intense and pretty scary cause your not sure how it will end. But never fear cause Blaze is not going to let anything happen to Raven. Which then we do get a happily ever after. I love these two and series. I can't get enough.

Blaze and Raven are once again faced with drama. Blaze has dreams about his deceased daughter which I found very heartbreaking for Blaze, but she is warning him of an evil that is coming to their life. When outside forces threaten their idyllic life Blaze and Raven must once again work together to expel themselves of this evil that has come for Raven in the form of the Supreme Masters. These two are very strong and a beautiful and loving couple. They have worked hard to overcome all the trauma and heartbreak they have been through and they love and trust one another unconditionally and it shows in their relationship. So wonderfully written by EC Land and I am so glad we got a chance to spend more time with these characters. A great read that I highly recommend.

I've been a fan of E..C. Land ever since I read Horse and Kenny's story. I've read all the Devil's Riot and Inferno's Clutch books and no doubt Blaze and Raven are my absolute favorite couple. Their love is epic and the lengths they'll go through to protect each other and their family is inspiring. In this book we learn that Raven's pregnant again, something she definitely did not want after everything she went through with their son, Mark. This time though she's having a little girl, which worries her since Blaze lost his daughter years ago. But that's not the only challenge she faces; her past has come back with a vengeance. Love how they fight for each other and for the happily ever after.❤️Cannot wait for Whip's story!

I have really loved Raven and Blaze. These two are soul mates in every way. They are two halves of a whole. They are strong by themselves, but unstoppable together. This story proves that they truly belong together, and no matter what comes at them, they will protect the other. In true E.C. fashion there are some shocking twists. This lady knows how to just smack you in the face with them. She does it so well and I just love it. She also hit me with the emotions. Watch what Little Bird and Blaze go through. Will they be able to make it through the darkness and come out on the other side one more time? If you have been reading their story, you definitely need to read this one. Catch up on some of your other favorite characters along the way.

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly i have to say that even though i havnt read much about these guys, i just loved that they all believe in each other. This is another part of Blazes story and its just wow... I dont want to give away to many spoilers in this because its really a end of a story that had begun. Blaze now has Raven and has two beautiful sons, however that can all be torn away by an enemy that has come back to get his revenge.
But readers we will soon learn that one beautiful angel is looking over her daddy and warns him of what is coming, and i must say Blaze is one to listen to what his dreams and his precious angel is telling him. He wont let anyone destroy his Raven they will be strong together!

A must read , i know you all will just love this.
5 beautiful stars for a really lovely story.

[Krystinna Collett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Blaze and Raven have been on a long journey. These two are soulmates. Land created a perfect picture for this lastest installment.
Blaze has always been a strong guiding force in the Devil's Riot. His character and strength come from his bond, word, loyalty, and love. This is very apparent when it comes to Raven and his boys. When an unexpected surprise comes, he will do whatever it takes to keep his family safe.
Raven has been through a lot of heartache. What completes her is Blaze and her boys. The love she has for them is unwavering. When old ghosts resurface, she trusts Blaze and the club to keep them safe.
I recommend this book!

Raven has lived with the knowledge that her past is dead and gone. But Blaze is having dreams about the boogeyman is coming.

Now Raven knows that she didn't get rid of the Boogeyman and he's coming back into her life to cause fear and heartache. Will she and Blaze be ready for him when he shows up? This is such a fantastic story with plenty of action, suspense, intrigue, and love. Blaze and Raven are soulmates and they will keep each other and their children safe.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Blaze and Raven continue on. As they move towards the future, Raven's past comes back with a vengeance. This story is intertwined with other books in a couple of series and so it would make little sense to someone who isn't reading in order.

Being a novella, the plot feels like a quick visit with the group. There are quite a few balls up in the air with all of the open storylines. I do hope we do get more answers soon instead of more questions. The Devils Riot MC are a group of men and women bound by loyalty to the others, love for the family and comradery second to none.

To say I love this couple is an understatement. EC Land makes you fall in love with these couples. You become invested in them and their families. However, Blaze and Raven have been through so much together. In this book, Raven’s past comes back in the form of the Boogyman. Raven thought she had dealt with him already and was safe. But sometime the past comes back for those it isn’t finished with. Will Blaze be able to protect her this time of will the past finally win? You will want to read this story to find out!

I love this series. The characters are like old family friends.
Blaze and Raven are both feeling like something bad is coming, but they are not quite sure what it is. Raven has been hearing the wind whispering to her about evil that is coming for her and her family. The threat is from an old for from her past.
Together with the help of the MC, they try to come up with a plan to taker care of it, and to protect Raven and her unborn child and children, but plans never go the way they are suppose to go.
The threat is taken care of and peace is back in place for now, for the MC and their families.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion of Blaze and Raven’s story. Raven’s past has come back to haunt her, with the Boogeyman ready to unleash his wrath on her. When Blaze received some ominous predictions from beyond the grave, he knows that he will do whatever he must to protect Raven and keep her safe. This is a well written flawless story which is an emotional roller coaster, and with suspense, drama, danger, vengeance, action, loyalty, betrayal, emotions, and love, which all leads to a heartwrenching and all-consuming tale which had me totally hooked throughout this riveting and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

"Protecting Blaze's Mark" is Blaze and Raven's story, and another great read in the Devils Riot MC series. The author has already given readers a preview of their story that will have readers wanting to pick this one up. So without giving away too much of their story, it is an emotional fast paced, action packed novella that I read in one sitting. Their story was so engaging, it was one I couldn't put down until the very last page was read. It can be read as a standalone, but readers of the series will find characters, both good and bad, a big part of their story. **I was gifted "Protecting Blaze's Mark" via Booksprout, leaving my review based on my reading.** 5 Stars!

When Raven finds she is pregnant again she isn't thrilled ,they didn't want another child not after everything they went through and she knows deep down that the hard times are not over yet,
She must find a way to tell Blaze and she hopes he will be okay with it.
Blaze is having dreams of a little girl and its his daughter that he lost, and she is telling him what is to come. Blaze is confused but take's it to heart and know he is on the alert, and with how connected he and Raven are its only a matter of time before they find out each others secret.
I love the deep connection that Blaze and Raven share it is deeper than love alone.

So glad we got a chance to catch up with Blaze and Raven., these two are such an amazing couple. Their lives have been filled with times of extreme pain...just heart breaking...but together they’re magic. As with all of Ms. Land’s books there is so much intrigue and I love that she brings in all the characters they we know and love...like one big family. Very quick, sexy and exciting read, enjoyed every word!

This story had it all!!! So many emotions... a surprise pregnancy, fear of the "what ifs", the threat of the Boogeyman. Loved it all! Raven has had lots of rough times and when she learns that she is pregnant again she is terrified because of what happened last time. Enter a nightmare from her past, and WOW!!! And when Blaze learns all the facts about him...watch out!!! And loved the name of the baby!! Well done!!

Protecting Blaze’s Mark by E.C. Land is the story of Blaze and Raven. There’s a lot of history and the past involved in this story. There’s some anguish and heartbreak…and some hugely uplifting situations. There’s a dash of the paranormal and I love that!!! Unusual story line that kept my attention. It did seem to end rather abruptly….but, that could just be because I was so immersed in the flow!!! Superior read!!

Once again we are with the Devil's Riot Mc and more specifically we are with Raven and Blaze (Liam) these two have gone through so much together and never seem to be able to catch a break

Raven is pregnant and everything in her life should be perfect as her and Blaze form a family together but her past is once again going to come back to haunt her Can Blaze keep her safe can they both survive and will she finally get a pregnancy with no drama You will have to read to see Just be aware that this is apart of a series that you do need to read in order to get the full affect of the story line

Blaze and Raven continue....

Protecting Blaze's Mark is part of the Devils Riot MC: Originals series, and continues the story of Raven and Blaze which started in Blaze's Mark and then continues in Carrying Blaze's Mark. Once again their story is fast-paced, full of emotion, heartbreak, danger, drama, love, resilience and joy. I don't know if this is the last part to this couple's story but it is a good continuation in their journey as a couple.

Life is never easy for the men and their women of Devil's Riot MC and that seems especially true now. Raven is stunned to find she's pregnant with baby #3. Blaze dreamed about this pregnancy and now it seems to be true, but more importantly, a monster from Raven's past is back and is looking for vengeance. As always these books are all fast paced, action packed, steamy. and full of twists and turns. Another great E.C. Land book, and it's a free read with your KU Subscription.
