Blood Moon Riders Motorcycle Club #3
Flower Moon
Life as a Nomad means riding the waves of chaos. Witches have been going missing in Deadwood, South Dakota, and the coven's clean up crew is on their way to the Black Hills. With all they've faced lately, the possibility of dark magic flowing through the hills is one the Nomads can't ignore.
With things continuing to heat up in Blood Moon, Poppy–having no real magic of her own–was content to pull her weight as medic and archivist for her chapter. After all, those who can't do, teach, right? At least that's what she's always told herself. But Poppy is no shrinking violet–she's a witch of Blood Moon and a bonafide member of the Nomads. And the Goddess has been saving Poppy for something bigger than she could have imagined.
Firestarter and Daemon are Enforcers with Mother House investigating the disappearance of a Deadwood Chapter member and child. Happily mated for years, they couldn't have imagined that the Goddess would complete their circle with not one, but two fated mates. In order to seal the deal, they'll have to overcome not only the corruption of Deadwood Chapter, but the reluctance of two mates with far less confidence in the unexpected turn of events.
Gryphon wants nothing to do with gifts from the Goddess, especially not in the form of the three tempting soulmates that have dropped in his lap just as life has exploded in his face. Surviving long enough to free his chapter from an illegal trafficking ring is the only thing he cares about. But the siren call of his fated mates is proving too difficult to resist. Especially when Poppy’s life is on the line.
It is time for Poppy to rise to her true calling with her mates by her side. Can the Nomads uproot the corruption that's got its teeth in Deadwood Chapter's throat? And will Gryphon let down his walls and embrace the path laid out for him?

This is a well written book with a cast of strong characters and an action packed good vs evil storyline. The author brings intrigue and some smokin hot scenes and paints her scenes perfectly. Loved it!

'An eagerly-awaited third book in a series which any MC romance fan should read! A true treat for our eyes and souls. -TheBritishBibliophile
Thank you to Mariah Thayer and K.O.Newman for sending me an Advanced Readers Copy as part of being on their ARC team. I read this book willingly of my own free will and am leaving an honest, spoiler-free review. Please read on if you'd like to know my thoughts about this stunning book and its equally as stunning co-authors.
---------------------------------------
I began my journey with K.O.Newman way back when with her book 'Reclaiming Psyche' . Years down the line, I would get to meet a chaotic cohort--in a good way--of fellow authors who all contributed to an anthology or two. One of those was Mariah Thayer. Although I've admittedly not read one of her books, which will hopefully soon be remedied with her upcoming novel 'Defiance' , I have read her contributions to anthologies and these two could not be more of a dream pairing if the bookish gods themselves matched them up.
Their brilliant brains cooked up a series which has fast firm become one of my favourites, starting with book one in this series, Crow Moon. Swiftly followed by Pink Moon in which till this day makes me well up with such happiness to have dedicated to me. I often go back to the mention and read it when I need humbling or a pick-me-up. These two books gave us an introductory insight into what this series was like and where it cold possibly go and for those of us who now have a serious love and investment in it, Flower Moon was very much an in-demand book to want to read next. Thankfully, we didn't have long to wait.
As each book came along, we were treated to more and more and by that I mean leading characters. In Crow Moon we met Crow and Hex, in Pink Moon we met Justice, Dom & Reno and now in Flower Moon, three more badass bikers step up to the plate and boy are they swinging! Welcome to the BMRMC Poppy, Firestarter, Daemon & Gryphon. Yes, an awesome foursome. If you, like me, have already read the other books in the series, one of these will already be familiar to you. Where she was a supporting character, she's now a main character and she not only has one, but three mates blessed by the Goddess herself.
You would think that the addition and situation of juggling four leading people would be overwhelming, but the truth is actually far from that. The four blend seamlessly together and that can only be attributed to Mariah & K.O's killer writing, stellar editing and general all-round in-sync nature as two standout authors working in harmony.
The storyline works so well, it's insane! I won't spoil it here for those of you who have yet to read the book, but you're in for one hell of a read and not just in terms of the content within the storyline. Mariah & K.O. have made this book--and series--as all-inclusive as it gets in every meaning and sense of the word. They've gone from strength to strength to include as much of the LGBTQIA+ community in their novels, carrying on here with Flower Moon and its characters. I was already a fan of LGBT reads, but these two ladies have genuinely impressed me with their inclusivity, respect for the community and representation that anyone (even if you're not in the community like myself, who is an ally) would be proud of. Flower Moon is a MMFM (Male, Male, Female & Male) LGBT romance that has absolutely slayed from cover to cover, period! *finger snap*
And it's in multiple single POV's! We get to see this story from quite literally every angle and I am living from reading this story from all perspectives. They don't skimp on giving this story from all angles and eyes, instead of falling into the pitfall of describing what's happening (namely to another character) from another's POV. We know how each of these characters feel, think and act. Pick your shoes here, folks. You'll be walking (or rather, riding), in all of them and there's much ground to be covered!
Including, the steam! Forget a bucket and a mop, bring a fan and turn up the AC! Keep yourself cool and hydrated for the moments when things get turned up a notch. I liked! I liked it more than a lot and I might have read those scenes more than just once. What can I say, I'm not a one-round kind of girl *wink wink*.
All in all, I'm giving these two legendary ladies a standing ovation of my own and a massive round of applause. They might not be able to see it, but I'm doing it. I've said it before in other reviews but they truly put their time, heart and soul into every word and it shows with the results that quite literally speak for themselves.
I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series, Hot Moon, which is the pair's first dive into a MM romance. I already love a good MM romance, so I'm counting down the days until I have another must-read novel land in my inbox.
Ladies, take a breath and pat yourselves on your backs, pick up a glass or anything to celebrate, because you've done it again. I'm proud of you both.
Five stars!

Flower Moon, co written by Mariah Thayer and K.O. Newman is the third book in their Blood Moon Riders Motorcycle Club: Nomad Chapter series. This book is told in multi POV and I definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series to get the Big Picture of the interconnected plot. Content warning: this is an MC romance, which means this is a dark read that can be triggering for some. Kat and Mariah were gracious enough to let us dip our toes into a polyamorous relationship in Pink Moon - if you haven’t read it (what are you waiting for?!) the book is MMF. This time around they said you know what this book needs? FOUR Fated Mates! Yep, Flower Moon is MMFM. It is so freaking hot… All the swords cross and they all take care of their woman. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with Pink Moon because once Justine got in the picture we didn’t see a whole lot of Dom and Reno interacting in the steamy scenes. That is NOT an issue in Flower Moon. It is equal opportunity loving and let me tell you Firestarter and Daemon are H.O.T! And once you throw Poppy and Gryphon into the mix it’s straight FIRE! The plot just keeps getting crazier every time the Nomads move in to a new Chapter to investigate. The amount of rot and the secrets and darkness in the BMRMC is insane. I’ve loved Poppy since the beginning so to see her getting her own book was exciting. There are so many twists and turns and WTF moments in this book, but for me it’s never confusing. Everything just flows so well and every time we are introduced to new characters the whole BMRMC world just gets so much better. I just wish Kat and Mariah would quit with the gut punches. This series is so dang emotional. I could not put it down and I cannot wait to see what’s next for the club. This is a phenomenal series and this book was so good. You HAVE to read this book, it will not disappoint!

Flower Moon
ARC Review
By Mariah Thayer & K.O. Newman
I have been eagerly awaiting this book since I read the first two in the series. I seriously love the storyline and concept. Bikers, witches, powerful women, strong men, LGBQTA+ inclusive… good verse evil. A wonderful new take on a classic storyline. There is seriously hot steam and action that keeps this fast paced story moving. It's a wonderful, fast, easy read.
I only have two negatives, that most won't agree with. First, multiple single POV…. I'm not a fan. This book is an example where third person would have been easier to read. Second, goes with that, there are a ton of characters so keeping everyone straight (especially when the 'I' keeps changing) is hard to keep up with for anyone with memory/ processing/ attention issues. A character chart would be seriously helpful.
But other than those two things, that I'm sure most would argue with me about, it's another amazing book in this series. I can't wait for the next one!!!
