I have been protecting my eternal bachelor status for years. My job in the military wasn't safe for me, much less a family, so it was just easier not to start one. I'm second-guessing that since laying eyes on a curvy raven-haired goth singer in a sleazy run-down jazz club. Her voice is like a siren call, and my heart is finally ready to listen. I can't help wondering if all the obstacles in my way is karma telling me I waited too long. Cupid's aim is better than mine, and I'll die before giving her up now. That is if the head-strong stubborn woman lets me.

I'm a retired 45-year-old Puerto Rican wife and mother of 3 plus 1 bonus daughter. Originally from NYC, now living a quiet life in the south suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy reading and writing romance and erotic fiction. I'm addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel and Harry Potter.

I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me. Every time I was told I couldn't do something, I did it, took pictures, and smiled with my son on my hip for everyone who ever doubted me.

Now, after finding the love of my life in my thirties, we married in the great 2020 pandemic, which shall not be named. We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.


After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I'll get it right.

Another Great Addition to MC Series

I’ve been following this series and every book brings out a five-star review from me. I love the opposites attract aspect and the hero who comes in to save the day.

Eagle/Benedict is the SAA for the MC and has been a loner but things are about to change when he walks into a jazz club and there is a beautiful woman singing her heart out. Since Eagle obtained a shoulder injury he has to go to PT and guess who that is…yep, none other than the beautiful songstress, Lark.

This book heated up the pages and is a quick read for all MC lovers out there.

Benedict a.k.a. Eagle has been a loaner until he meets Lark. They are total opposites but they just work. He gets hurt on a job and has to see a PT and low and behold it Lark is his PT. She can’t brush him off now. Lark attracts the attention of a foe, will Eagle be there to protect her?

So much suspense and secrets tied to old world Vegas you will not be disappointed...

Benedict also known as Eagle, is the Godfather to the twins Dylan and Dorian as well as best friend of Sebastian president of the MC. He is more of a stay to himself kind of guy, as well as owner of the gun range. After a sholder injury he stumbles upon a jazz club in old Vegas, called the SongBird Lounge and hears a beautiful singer on stage and is instantly enchanted over her. Lark the beautiful singer as well as the granddaughter of the owner of the Jazz club the SongBird Longe, Lawrence Evans. After many vists to the SongBird to hear Lark sing, Larry makes a deal with Benedict to sell him the SongBird. When Lark finds out her grandfather sold the SongBird she is enraged at Benedict, and wants nothing to do with singing there. Benedict thinks he missed his chances with Lark. Benedict also has to start physical therapy on his shoulder when he arrives to his first session Lark happens to be his physical therapist. He hopes thay seeing her 3x a week for PT, maybe convince her he isn't the bad guy who now owns her family's business. Plus maybe he can win the girl.
But Lark isn't the only person mad that Benedict now owns the SongBird, Victor Siegel, known as the Grandson of Bugsie Siegel known to have found Vegas and ties to the MOB. Victor not only wants the SongBird but also Lark, and Victor always gets what he wants.
There are so many secrets throughout the book, one that Larks grandfather Larry has, like being very sick, but all kinds of other secrets that he may just take to his grave. Will he share his secrets with Lark? Is there a reason why he keeps them? Is it possible for Benedict to win Lark over and be able to share his life with someone. Will Victor a mob boss be a problem not only for Lark but Benedict and the MC? You just have to read the book to not only find out all the secrets but where this book goes that I deffantly did not see. I was on the edge of my seat and found it so hard to put the book down till the very end.

I had the pleasure to read D. Williams, MorningStar MC series. This is my first experience reading about motorcycle clubs (MC). And D. Williams did not disappoint. She offers a glossary of slang associated with the MC and that is very helpful to people new to this world. She also provides the hierarchy of the MorningStar MC along with who is who. This allowed me to follow the characters with the club names while I started into this series.

The series follows each of the main club members and how they found their partners or what they call “old lady” or “old man”. Their stories are captivating, spicy and will pull at your heartstrings. The love these characters show for each other is what any reader would want for themselves.
Each book has romance, spice, thrill and even terror. Oh did I say spice…… The love stories are mixed with everything you could hope for from age gap, MMF, BDSM, and goes on. The spice is there and I love it’s not a slow burn relationship. She gives you what you are seeking and some! You see the love each member has for their MC family and their loyalty that is earned. You become engrossed into their world and you can’t stop. You get your fill and when the book ends, you jump right to the next one.

Benedict was the protector of the club until an accident forced him to retire. He owns the shooting range the club uses and also now a jazz club. He had to buy it when he heard it was for sale because of her. Her voice has captivated his heart, but will she come to him or hate him for buying what she thought was hers……

D. Williams doesn’t stop here with this series. Oh no! She continues the stories in her spin off, MorningStar MC – Reno Chapter. It’s not complete yet, but she does not disappoint with this series either. It’s just as good as the original MorningStar MC and I can’t wait to see that to completion either!

Thank you D. Williams for bringing the world to life and allowing me to get lost for a little while and come out smiling, crying, laughing and more!

I've been on a roll reading nonstop this last few days and guys, it's been a turmoil of emotions.
In this reading spree, I've encountered this new author, and guys, I'm addicted.
D Williams is the bomb. Her writing is raw and wild and will hook you up in a sec... Trust me on this...
And the best part? She writes MC books... Hell yeah...
Benedict is her latest release and it's the eighth book from the Morningstar MC series.
I really advise you to read the entire series from the beginning... You'll love it.
This book explores the lives of Benedict and Lark.
Benedict aka Eagle is the SAA for the Morningstar MC. He's the ultimate bachelor and wants to stay that way.
But when he enters a club and hears a diva singing, he realizes that he wants her, but she turns him down.
When he gets himself injured guess who's his therapist?
Lark is a physical therapist and loves her job. Her other passion is to sing at her grandfather's club.
She knows the club is in trouble but she doesn't want it to close. When her grandfather sells it...
And guess who buys it?
This book was something else I tell you.
It was amazing to read, and the bickering between the main characters was awesome.
Great plot, well written, super engaging, and hot.
The characters worked perfectly with each other despite the ups and downs they had.
She's stubborn as hell and he's super determined to get what he wants.
Is the battle of wills...
I really loved this book and I can't wait to read more.
It was a great story, told perfectly.
Great book D Williams. Who's next? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Chaos/Benedict & Lark

Player, no commitments... until he wandered in an old bar/club and learned what "The voice of an angel" meant. She was gorgeous, had a voice to capture her audience and he wanted her. Their future was about to change.

Her grandfather owned the club. He wasn't gonna give Benedict her name...until he saw Chaos step in to protect her from a patron. He had no idea that man was a big deal and didn't care—no one touched a woman without her permission—especially this woman.

I love the two of them together. She's his therapist and they fight their chemistry. Her grandfather has a secret and isn't long for this world. She'll be all alone or will she?

With the help of the club and Chaos' determination to save her from the danger, she's in is gonna have a force to deal with. Loved the club members, the steam, the setting, and the great storyline. I normally wouldn't go for a guy like him but just like Lark, he is just irresistible. Loved it and recommend it along with the series. I've read most of the series and am waiting for the next book.

Mystery, intrigue and sexy love! A terrific addition to this interesting MC series with brothers and sisters mostly on the right side of the law. Along with Benedict aka Eagle there’s plenty of fact time with other brothers and sisters in the club along with their significant others and one beautiful songbird. Lark is a physical therapist and a singer in her grandfather’s club until it’s sold. There goes her family’s legacy and she’s not happy. Enter the hunky biker that hits her life on two fronts and he’s smitten at first sight. It’s all hot chemistry between Eagle and Lark that ignites into a sizzling romance. Swoon! When Eagle buys the jazz club he gets a mystery that turns into a dangerous situation when a Vegas mobster goes on the offensive with Lark in his sights. Fast paced danger and suspense when the brothers and sisters step up to help Eagle solve the mystery and keep Lark safe. This is a quick, easy read with a steamy romance and an exciting mystery. I look forward to more from these sexy bikers. I loved the ending that sets up for the next story. Can’t wait!

Benedict "Eagle" Fitzgerald has an eye for his target, no matter what he's aiming for. When he hears a beautiful songbird named Lark in a smoky jazz club sing, he's entranced. The club is in financial trouble so Benedict buys the club and starts renovations. Lark gets mad at her grandfather for selling the club when all she wants is to keep it in the family and running. Benedict is still recovering from his shoulder surgery and needs physical therapy and when he shows up for his first appointment, his pretty songbird is his assigned therapist. What happens when you put gun powder too close to an open flame? You get an explosion that rivals the fireworks between Benedict and Lark. Mix with that all the mystery surrounding the club, someone threatening his beauty's life, and that's when you don't want to get in way of a loaded gun.

D Williams delivers yet another exciting, danger packed excursion into the lives of the MorningStar MC in Paradise, Nevada.

Benedict/Eagle and Lark

Eagle bought and renovated The Songbird Lounge to its former glory days from Lark's gramps Larry. She used to sing jazz and he knew she wanted it, but he also knew that she had gone to college to be a physical therapist and was great at her job, so he didn't want her time tied down to the club like he did for so many years. Eagle had gotten hurt and had surgery and had to have physical therapy, and to his good fortune Lark was it. He already fell in love with sexy and sultry voice from hearing her sing before he bought the club. She had a creepy admirer that actually owned quite a bit of Vegas himself, but he couldn't get access to the one thing he wanted. A few surprises here and there. Gramps was up in age and had a couple of diseases, but Lark was still devastated when he passed because he was the last living relative of hers. Happy reading.

This is a fantastic addition to this amazing series and is Eagle and Lark’s story. Eagle is the SAA for his MC and has suffered a shoulder injury, and when he walks into a club and hears an Angel singing, he is instantly drawn to her, but she brushes him off, but fate has other plans, and Lark is his new physical therapist. These two complement each other perfectly. This is a well written story which has humor, emotions, romance, love, and undeniable chemistry, which all leads to an entertaining and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

The best books ever

I will never get over how much I love these books so far. I love that they are short and sweet with all the fun in between! The spicy bits are nothing to sneeze about either 😈 the only thing that makes me sad is that these men aren't real! For me these books are perfect. They maybe 200 pages and under but when you constantly read long books it's really great to read something short but still get the joy of reading about these characters and their life's. And with how it is you get to see how all their life's continued on with each book along with a new story! For me these are going to be a series I will always recommend first for anyone!

“Thank you to the author for this incredible story. I’m a huge fan of short stories but I wish Benedict and Lark’s story was longer. From the very beginning it was beautiful and the first mite Eagle ‘met’ Lark it felt like a movie with the spotlight, the background music and the instant attraction. The tension and angst was slowly killing me. I’ve to admit Lark kind of annoyed me with her constant denial lol. Sorry, but no sorry! Told in dual POV you’ll see why the ‘slow-burn’ was frustrating but other part of me applause Lark determination and strong will with a man like Eagle. An opposites attract story with angst and tension mix with romance, passion and love.”

A siren is singing and he can feel her in his blood. He tries to talk to her but she walks away. Faith helps his on his way. She’s his new physical therapist. She gets the attention of a Gangster. His ready to take care of lark. Whether she likes it or not. He falls for lark. The only problem is convincing her that she was made for him.

This is book eight in the MorningStar MC series and can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend starting at book one Abel because even though each book as a new couple in the spotlight they are much better read in order for the best enjoyment.

This was such an wonderful addition to amazing and addicting series! Benedict AKA Eagle and Lark are total opposites in every way yet they fit together like puzzle pieces and couldn’t be more perfect together. I loved every second of this book and can’t wait for more of the series!

Aixxxx,
Age gap with older man
Lonely Hero
Pierced Hero
These are my favorite tropes EVER! Unfortunately at some point I disliked him and couldn’t came back from that! The moment she left and He didn’t run to find her although he knew he hurt her, I’m out… sorry but I’m a very proud woman and expect my heroines like that too! She is the one who came back… just no! Sorry he is too crude in that scene,

Still my favorite MC along with T.O. Smith and Isabel Wroth and I highly recommend the series but not a fan of Benedict… and couldn’t enjoy the book, I was angry all the read. Sorry…

Benedict is the latest release by D in her MorningStar MC series.

Benedict aka Eagle is trying to adjust to a shoulder injury when he stumbles upon Lark, a singer at a club, and becomes enraptured by her singing. He tries to get her attention, but she ends up brushing him off as she’s not interested. You’ve got two strong headed stubborn characters who have an undeniable chemistry.

This book takes you through quite the journey between humour, raw emotions, strong chemistry and a man who will fight to keep his woman safe.

This was actually a sweet MC story. Benedict/Eagle was entranced with Lark from the beginning. She was so confident despite her not-so-happy childhood. With the loss of her last relative, her world began to unravel. Benedict did what he could to protect her in more than one way. I love the secrets of the lounge and the history that went along with them. I really enjoyed this story and recommend it.

I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

I'm becoming quite the big fan of D. Williams, so I'm always going to need more in any book I read of hers. Benedict (aka Eagle) isn't a people person, and with his career in the military being quite dangerous, he didn't even try to find his person. However, fate has a different plan for him, and he comes across Lark (who isn't about him at first), and he knows he has to make her his. They have some serious sexy times together, but there's also some danger coming for her so will Benedict be able to keep her safe?! Well, you know what to do to find out as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Eagle and Lark are a great addition to an already great series. D Williams will definitely be a one click author for me from now on, as this series just keeps getting better. The story is well written with lots of suspense to keep you turning the page. Eagle is a great bossy alpha male and Lark is a great heroine the heat is great between these two. I can’t wait to see what is in store next in this series.

A fantastic addition to this series! Loved the connection and chemistry between Eagle and Lark, especially how things went down after she initially rebuffed his advances the first time they met, and how it was they ended up back in the same orbit not too long after that incident. The way they balanced each other was perfect, they managed to bring out the best qualities in each other and seeing their feelings evolve was awesome.

Benedict "Eagle" first saw Lark singing and he knew his "Siren" was going to be his but he has many obstacles and dangers in their paths. I loved this story and all the crazy characters from the MorningStar MC that show what family truly means, Abel just cracks me up. This story gives the reader so much and you won't want to stop reading it. I highly recommend it.

My binge continues

The series/story is really sucking me in now. I am glad I haven't reached the end yet.

I enjoyed reading the HEA for Eagle and how it worked out for Lark.
(Abel is such a big part of this series, I almost think I need to read his book again...with different eyes.)

Editing is still an issue, but I'm used to overlooking it by now. With that said, I do really like this series.

Benedict and Lark are hot together both in and out of the Clubs. They know each other in a number of different venues and have to fight an enemy that tries to take Lark away from him for a couple of different reasons. Thankfully the rest of the MC family is there to assist including the ever present Abel, with the gift of ARIA.
Fun to read

This series is fantastic! It's a quick read but always keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's super spicy, and you'll love each member of the MC!
Benedict tends to keep to himself, until he meets Lark (siren) and he is determined to make her his. Lark can only resist him for so long, especially when she might need his help!
I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.

Benedict

Benedict. Eagle. SAA. Bossy. Daddy.
Lark. Sassy. Song bird. Also bossy.

These guys get better with every book. Daddy B does not play when it comes to his siren, all it took was one look, one song and he was absolutely gone for this gothic song bird.

Lark…even though she thought he was sexy as sin, he was taking everything from her. Or so she thought!

awesome!

I love the historical aspect of the lounge, and that Larry valued love over money. I know that the story was about Lark and Eagle, but for sone reason, Larry is who got to me.

The lark snd eagle story - the sex scenes are HOT and you can feel the love between them. I cannot wait to read the rest of the stories and I will go back and reread the ones already done!!!
