Michelle Dups
48 books127 followersFor those that don’t know me— I’m a self-confessed romance addict, coffee devotee, and proud Taurus. I was born and raised in a little town in Southern Central Zambia, lovingly nicknamed the sweetest little town. Books have been my constant companion since I was six, and when my gran handed me my first romance novel as a teenager, I was a goner. From then on, happily-ever-afters became my favourite escape.
In 2000, my husband and I swapped African sunshine for UK skies. We raised our two wonderful daughters in a charming town just down the road from where Jane Austen once lived.
These days, you’ll find me in my writing cave in Wales creating the kinds of stories that I love to read — paranormal romance, motorcycle club tales, and contemporary love stories with plenty of heart, insta-love and always a HEA.
Reading has always been my passion.

That was my dream… and now I get to live it, one love story at a time.

I loved this one. It was amazing. So much fun to read and I just love this family. I can't wait to read the next book.

I absolutely loved Reaper and Abby's story, Their chemistry is off the charts.
Every character in this book has you hooked, and unable to put the book down. This book is full of family, friends, drama and steamy scenes.
I would definitely recommend, especially if your into single mum/ Alpha biker type tropes.

holy hotness
WoW for a first time author this is a brill book, well written with plenty of background to the characters.
My only complaint is that it ended quite suddenly, I wanted to know what the outcome of the mission was I’m guessing we will find out in the next book.
I’m also loving that this mc is set in England as an English girl myself it’s nice to find a mc book that’s not set in the USA with things familiar to England.

Great Start
Story flowed seemingly throughout the book. Character here were excellent with room to get to know them more. The chemistry between Reaper and Addy was hot. The potential this series has is mind blowing. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

happy accident
I somehow found this book on kindle while searching for a completely different book. I thought I’d give it a try and I’m so glad I did. Reaper and Abby were a great couple from the start. It reads like it’s going to be a great series. So happy I accidentally found this book. X

God start to new series
With this being book one, we meet all the characters and the main storyline is written. Reaper (Kane) meets Abby and he knows he's found the woman that he wants to be his wife and old lady. This is a quick and easy read. The characters are all very likeable and add interest. The ends kind of abruptly but hopefully book two starts from where this one left off.

It is going to be a great series
Michelle has laid the foundation for a great MC series. The characters are real and engaging. The plot reasonable. I love the family environment of the story. Honestly, I was disappointed when I got to the end because I was enjoying it so much and have to wait for the next book. Well done Michelle, well done.

I'd recommend this if you are in the mood for a spicy MC story about what happens when a retired soldier returns home to re-build the MC he grew up in and encounters his perfect match in the single mom hired to do the electrical work for his clubhouse.
Overall, I rate it 3.5⭐out of 5 based on the following: 🤩Enjoyment - 3.5; 👥Characters - 4; 📖Plot - 3.5; 🗺️Atmosphere - 3.5; and🖋️Writing - 3.5 with the first 3 categories being most important. In my opinion, a 3.5⭐rating is still a good book, but it feel just a bit short of being added to my potential re-read list; however, I will absolutely read more books in this series and/or by this author.
What worked for me:
• Reaper's certainty that Abby is his "one" and how he cares for her and the kids
• Abby's willingness to give Reaper a chance
• The Crow MC dynamic of being a family by blood and choice
What didn't work for me:
• There were a few time jumps that sort of glossed over some of the relationship building that I would have enjoyed more details about, but the story was still easy to follow and I had minimal unanswered questions.

Reaper leaves the military when his father is attacked and in a coma. With his brothers heading home as well they decide to resurrect the Crow MC, drugs and crime have invaded his small town and they plan to take back their town. He doesn't expect on Abby but he knows she is his one from the instant he sees her.
There is a lot that goes on in this book with the beginning of a MC, the love story, a gang of thugs and a ton of family time. It is the start to the series and pulls you in right away. I really enjoyed all the characters as well as Reaper and Abby's story which was full of chemistry. The end was a bit abrupt but overall the book had me seeking out the second book right away.

April 24, 2026Dear Readers,
I hope you enjoy the Crow MC and the lives they are building in their village Feannag, New Forest. This is not a real village in the UK I have completely made it up. The New Forest however is very real and it's a beautiful place to visit.
I'd like to remind everyone that what I write is fiction and not at all like what life really is like in the UK. Please bear that in mind when you are reading these books.
This series came about after a conversation I had with my teenage daughter about a lesson they'd had at college on County Lines (drugs) and how they ran. That same week my husband and I were going away to celebrate our 27th Wedding Anniversary in the New Forest and on the way down, there were loads of small villages and lots of camper vans etc. And what crossed my mind was would the police even think to stop and check a camper van with a family in it. And so The Crow MC was born.
As with all my books, you'll find insta love (I'm a big believer as it happened to me). Very little angst, because life is hard enough as it is. Lots of family interaction and love. Alpha men and strong women. This is not like a regular MC, I'm a bit of a rebel at heart and so my MC is very different from other MC books. For one it's set in the UK and two women are included in Church.
Those that have read my Sanctuary Series will see familiar names in Chapter 1 but that is where they stay. They may pop up again later who knows :)
I loved Reaper and Abby, they are awesome. He's called home from serving his country and she is a single mum doing her best to make sure her boy has everything he needs. He knows immediately that she is his one. She thinks he's insane. Very hot but insane.
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Happy Reading!
Michelle
P.S. On a more serious note, there is mention of infant loss, rape is alluded to, swearing and child neglect.

Marvelous find
I love finding new authors especially when it comes to MC stories . Michelle Dups was introduced to me when several authors were advising her second book of the Crow Mc series. I immediately downloaded both.
Reaper and Abby's was a great introduction to Reaper's brothers and family. Based out of the UK.
Leaving the military when his father was hurt Reaper heads home to find out his village is overrun by another Mc running drugs and bully people especially his father. The original Crows want him to start the MC again. During all this he meets Abby and her son, rescued Ben and his sisters, and falling in love with Abby. Now he is the president, engaged and the father of 4.
His brother's by blood returns home to take out the trash.
What a wonderful read. The author explains the Crow family in detail and you can see the love with each page you read. CHECK THIS AUTHOR OUT!!!

I'm lost half the time
I kept losing interest in this book. To many names thrown out from the get go. It's hard reading a book when I half to stop all the time to figure out who is talking. All the way to the end I had to do this. Also, it didn't seem like a MC at all. They are soldiers and bad ass in their own right, so they should have gone with that. I will try one more book.

I got this on one of those “free e-book” days because i thought it’d be very Sons of Anarchy but.. not at all. This book needed my HS English teacher’s instruction of “don’t tell me, show me.” The insta-love was crazy, the amount of “my woman”s in this book was crazy, and we didn’t even get one interaction with the so-called villains of the town. I won’t be continuing but wish others who enjoyed the book good luck?

Ok
Definitely not your typical MC book. Good characters and storyline, but there was not much action involved. Just a bit boring.

Great start
What a different take on an MC romance! The only thing is I wish is that we had more of the building of the relationship between Abby and Reaper. Things were a little too surface level. The rebuild of the club is interesting to see.
The more I think on it, even though I really enjoyed it, it fell a little flat. Not sure where the climax happened, plus no real conflict...
I gave a 4⭐️ review because it had good bones, just need a little more oomph. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. Would of gave it a 5⭐️ if not for a few things and if I didn't like it it would of been a 3⭐️
Can't wait for Onyx and Rea's story! I will be reading the series and hopefully Ms. Dups would of changed a few things...

New author to me
This is a new author for me. I liked the index at the beginning telling me who all the characters were and some of the words as it's a series based in England and not America so words for things were different in some cases. Example: trainers for tennis shoes.
The book was a smooth read. I liked the writing style and quickly got into the characters. I can tell that I'm going to love the series as I already love the characters and can't wait to read the next book. This was a definite insta-love book and I love the relationship with all the kids.

Reaper/Kane and Abby
This is my first time reading this author and she did a fantastic job with this story. I'm glad all the guys left the military and restarted the MC. I enjoyed all of the interactions of all of the characters involved. Reaper is the President of the club and a lot of work was needed to get the clubhouse set up, and that's where Abby comes in as the electrician and her son, Sam did the woodwork. These two make a great team and I so loved that they saved those children. Happy reading.

This was a sweet insta love MC light book. It’s book one and HEAVY on exposition.
The main characters are re-starting the MC in their small town due to an influx of drugs and crime.
This is my first book from this author but not my last. It was well written and like I said sweet. They did what needed to be done.
I am guessing that if there are repercussions they will be in future books

Loved the wonderful narration Lucy Vidler, she brings these wonderful British MC club characters, to life in your ears.
Reaper is back home from serving in the British armed forms. His father was attacked in the village that is his home , by a group of thugs. Who are taking root there with their criminal drug activity. His brother in arms resurrect the local Crow MC to clean up the village. It is while home he meets Abby who is a single mum. Who is a business owner and happy with her life. That is until a man named Reaper says they belong together.
We have action , steam and ex military hot biker. Perfect

Loved it. A completely different type of MC book.
Abby and Reaper are a strong couple with great family values. Great character development, some humour, enjoyed the drama and certain scenes were hot . I'm intrigued about Rea and Onyx and can't wait for their book.
