Midas

Merciless Few MC #1

by P.T. Macias

Midas ~ Stanford Bates
My life was freaking amazing.
Born with a silver spoon.
All planned out.
On track.
Until the day it detonated.
My life is altered.
The secret.
The violation.
I walk in darkness.
The MC is my life.
My Bros are my family.
Revenge is the goal.
I don’t have time for love.
The girl is the epitome of my past.
The girl is amazing.
But I’m not what she needs.
I’m not the same man.

Sasha Parson
My world is shattered.
My parents were killed.
The secret is surreal.
Graduation is out.
No money.
Friends are gone.
The country club is gone.
Shopping and fun are in my past.
I need to work to survive.
No skills.
No work experience.
I need to make money.
Lots.
I have no choice.
I need to take the job.

This is going to be great series! So much happens in this series first book I can’t wait to see where we go with this chapter. Midas came from a world of money and influence. But that all changed for him one night. He never returned from what took place but he swears to get his revenge. The only thing he regrets is leaving her behind. She was young and not ready, but years later their paths cross again and he has the chance to make right the wrongs. Will Sasha be willing to give him a chance?

Midas came came from a different background than the other MC brothers and you get to see how he became a brother. He went through a horrible experience and he had two brothers who were there who took him under their wings and sponsored him and were there during that dark time and he found a brotherhood who always had his six. Sasha had it all until she lost her parents in a horrible way. Now she is all alone and trying to find a job when she runs into Midas. These two knew each other from their past and before he thought she was too young but he never forgot about her, and now that she could be in danger, he wants to protect her, but it’s more than that. He has always felt a connection to her since he first met her at his birthday party a few years ago and now he is never going to let her go. Will he be able to keep her safe and get the revenge he so richly deserves? This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I was hooked from the beginning to the end. I can’t wait for more.

Midas and Sasha both come from very influential families. Their story is one of love, loss, redemption and second chances. Midas is a short, fast-paced, quick read that pulls you in at the start. We get to witness Midas as he evolves from Stanford to Midas and how the Club takes him in and he becomes a part of the Merciless Few. I'd say this was a good beginning to my introduction to this new series and this new to me author.

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a quick story It had potential but the writing was stilted

Midas. Every page for his POV has “fuckingtastic”. At first I thought it was a typo and should have been fan-fucking-tastic but nope

Sasha- every page from her POV she says “HA”. Between paragraphs, beginning of sentences, all
The time

She needs a job because the Bratva and the bad MC kill her parents, so she goes to a strip club and asks to be a bartender because she is scared

When they finally get together, Sasha starts every sentence with Stanford (Midas’ real name)

The potential is there for a great story. They get the bad MC but not the Bratva so how is the threat against her over

Sasha’s best friend says she can’t stay at her house after her parents are killed but no follow up with her

One of Midas’ friends see him and it’s mentioned that the friend is going to tell his father, who is running f for Governor, that Midas is in an MC again no follow up


Also what the EFF are DETS. Are they 12 year old girls that they says dets instead of details.

Wow what a way to start a new series, this one has it all, suspense, danger and it's action packed, loved Midas and Sasha

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Midas and Sasha met years ago at a party. A lot has changed over those years, Sasha is on the run and in need of a job, and this puts her in the path of Midas once again. Such a good story! I can’t wait for the next one!

[Phyllis Wolford · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a short but good story of boy and girl meet then disappear on each other only to find each other later when they were in trouble.
Midas has been thur some really bad stuff for a guy, and the MC helps him thur it. He helps them grow their money and it makes them flush.
Sasha is the typical rich girl, but her life changes when her parents are killed. This puts her on the run and no support system to rely on. She applies for a job, at a exotic dancing club, and runs in to Midas, with whom she ifell in love with on his birthday years ago.
They get together and finally give into their feelings and urges. They and the MC form a close family and they share a love that gets stronger in the future.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series gets better and better. Midas goes through a terrible experience and is taken in by the Merciless Few MC, healed, patched in and is now part of the brotherhood. Sasha ran into him at his birthday party long ago, they kissed and moved on. Sasha loses so much in her life and now she is being hunted by a rival gang and the bratva. The same rival gang that messed up Midas. This story is dark, intense, full of danger, discovery, vengeance and a HEA. The world building and character development continues so read the series in order.

Midas

The biker with the golden touch has come a long way. From society to biker from damaged to held by Sasha.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first in a new series, and this is Midas and Sasha’s story. Midas is from a wealthy family, until something happens, and he now classes his MC as being his family, Sasha is in need of help when tragedy strikes her family, and Midas wants to be there for her. This is a well written story which is fast paced, and action packed, with regrets, family, redemption, secrets, friendships, violence, romance, loss, second chances, and love, which leads to a steamy page turner.

I feel bad but…

This was terribly written. It had a good story-line premise that unfortunately wasn’t fully fleshed out. Everything was surfaced based and one dimensional. I didn’t like how spaced out the sentences were- which left room for more dialogue that didn’t happen. A lot of the things the characters said or thought were extremely repetitive. The men yelled, growled, or roared/bellowed a lot. The main chick said “ha!” a lot. The couple aren’t together long and everything comes to a head at the end chapters of the book then is mostly glossed over, like a good portion of this book as it doesn’t dig deep, then it’s quickly resolved. You don’t get a true feel for the characters or the couple. The drama for both characters parents isn’t fully developed. It’s like most of the book- basic and basic details … like it was still sitting in the begging stages of the authors mind and we didn’t get to see it develop into something intricate and make us nervous at the edges of our seats while reading. This story was a huge missed opportunity for a meatier read. I am grateful, however, that the main guy’s violation scene wasn’t truly detailed.

Stanford Bates came from money, he first met Sasha at his birthday party, she is too young, but there is something about her. The night he graduates from Berkley he goes out with friends, to a bar. Later leaves there and goes to a strip club with the guys he played pool with, the night ends with him assaulted and drugged. The strip club belongs to the Merciless Few MC, he stays with the brothers never going home.

When Sasha's parents are killed and her friend cuts her off due the Bratva coming after she has very little choices. She applies at a strip club, that brings her in Midas/Stanford's world. Midas is ready to claim her, and will do everything he can to protect her.

This is the first in the Merciless Few MC, NorCal Chapter series. This maybe triggering for some due what happens to Midas, but normal for most MC series stories, with action and steam.

Whew! This book is fantastic! It is about Midas and Sasha. These two have a past. Their lives are not what they once were. Midas found his family, his brothers in the MC. Sasha is looking for a way to get her life back after tragedy strikes. Can these two have a HEA? Or is it too late? Does fate have another plan? Where will the line in the sand be drawn? What is more powerful love or revenge? Check out this book to find your answers. So glad I did!

Midas graduates from University and is attacked. He is found by a member of the Merciless Few MC who gets him help. They identify his attackers. Over time he prospects and becomes a member of the MC.

Sasha is at University when her whole world implodes, learning that her parents were killed in a car bomb. The authorities tell her that her dad was under investigation for mob-related activity and that they can't provide her with protection.

This is an interesting read and the plot provides action, suspense and adventure.

Loved this book!

Great fast paced storyline, with traumatic experiences. They made a great couple and healed each other. I have book 2 in my tbr list.

[Hendrix Fan 4ever · Rating 4 out of 5]

LOVED IT!

This was my first experience reading this particular author, I was impressed! I look forward reading the next book in the series!

[Jeanette George · Rating 4 out of 5]

Midas and Sasha are acquainted and have similar backgrounds, but life is full of surprises. And when they do meet again, its not surrounded by privilege. This is an instalove, skirting on the edge of some darker themes, story. The series promises to move fast and take you on a wild ride.

There is one trigger, but its not graphic or very detailed. Just keep that in mind should you be sensitive to triggering topics.

[Gretchen Calder · Rating 5 out of 5]

love story

Wow just wow. This was the first book I have read by P.T. Macias. I now I have several on my tbr list. I couldn’t put this book down. I was drawn it. This was different because we saw Midas from before he even knew about the club. What made him prospect and the chemistry with Sasha and Stanford. I loved Sasha’s antics. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. Highly recommend this book. Very well done.

[Andi · Rating 1 out of 5]

Pretty bad

I read a lot of MC books. This is one of the worst MC books I’ve ever read. I barely finished it. The writing was disjointed and sounded like it was written by a middle schooler for a creative writing assignment. Zero character development so it was hard to care about anyone in the book. Nothing was explained - all events happened at the speed of light - the main characters didn’t even meet until 56%. Trigger for SA that happens to the main male character on page. This is an author that definitely goes on my “never read again” list.

[Jennifer Blankenship · Rating 1 out of 5]

To rushed...

Decent plot that became harried due to the rushed storyline. The constant "Ha!" and "DETS" were very annoying and lacked imagination.

[Visionary Druid · Rating 2 out of 5]

Stanford “Midas” Bates comes from a rich and influential family. However, a life-altering event changes everything. Midas wants revenge on the people responsible. He finds acceptance and belongness with the brotherhood of the Merciless Few MC. Then a woman from his old world re-enters his life. She needs his protection.
Sasha Parson is from a wealthy and privileged family. However, a devastating accident steals everything from her. Sasha has no one to turn to. Plus, she learns the shady people her late father was associated with wants her. Sasha needs to find a job if she wants a chance at survival. She never expected to run across Stanford again.
I am not a fan of the MC genre. However, I decided to give this book a shot. I never know when my tastes change, or I find an “exception” in a genre I generally do not read – it has happened before.
I had a difficult time with the writing style. It felt stilted and rushed. There were some instances where the timing jumped back and forth, without warning, which left me baffled and confused. It made it rough to immerse in the plot or connect with the characters. I know writing from a first-person point-of-view can often be challenging, especially with description.
Some things felt repetitious. One example is the usage of “Ha!” in Sasha’s point of view. It was used in odd places that made no sense to me. Then it started to wear on my patience to the point that I wanted to stop reading.
With Stanford/Midas it was another word (curse word as its base; I omitted it because Amazon doesn’t like curse words in reviews). I use that base curse word a lot. Also, it was my late father’s favorite word, so I grew up around it. It was just overused to the point of staleness for my tastes.
Some of the slang really threw me. It could be me. I am out of touch with the MC and its slang.

Needs a lot of work

The book seemed to be written in a rush. The story line's timeline jumped around so much it was difficult to keep up with what was actually happening. I feel like an in-depth outline would have helped garner better writing results. It's difficult to believe the ceaseless, undying words of love from the couple when they literally met and kissed only once prior to finding their way back to each other.
I was also put off by Midas' use of the phrase "Looney tunes" when he was talking about his mother being admitted to a mental hospital. Who says that? If someone in your family, whom you claim to love, is in a mental hospital why would you use that phrase? Like EVER!? It made Midas seem to have no depth. AND what is with the constant use of the word "Ha!"? Every time Sasha spoke the author made the character say this. Some times in the most awkward situations.
Another area I found frustrating was the use of the word DETS. Now normally, this is short for details but I've never seen it spelled as if it were an acronym. Also, the " rival" MC's name was the Meatheads(?). Really!? The Meatheads does not produce the urge to join nor does it strike fear in my heart. I kept picturing "beach blanket bingo" &/or Archie Bunker.
The verb tense in several areas of the book didn't make sense, & the repetitive use of certain words or phrases became monotonous.
The impression I got from reading this book was that the author took certain phrases & words typically associated with the MC genre and over used them thinking it would make it an MC book. It was a poorly put together book with so many areas that needed a second and third look, i.e. character and storyline development.

H/h: Midas and Sasha
POV: 1st person dual
Genre: Dark MC Romance
Heat level: boiling
Standalone?: Y but better when read with the series
Cliffhanger?: N
HEA/HFN: Y
Triggers: violence, language, explicit s-x scenes, dark scenes/themes including graphic torture and implied s. assault. Be advised.
Tropes: Living for Vengeance, Instalove, Riches to Rags
Both H and h are born to wealth, but tragedies cause major life changes for each. Can Sasha escape the forces chasing her? Can Midas have both revenge and love?
This was a pretty short book. It was a page turner. Characters were not well developed, probably because of the short length of the chapters. H a little better developed than h, who seemed pretty one-dimensional. Still, she was likable. Steamy scenes and sweet Instalove in the romance department.
One thing I found really distracting was the use of DETS for dets (the abbreviation for details).

This is the 1st book in the MFMC,A Bad Boy Bikers MC Romance series featuring the steamy fast-paced, action-packed,MC,second chance romance between Midas and Sasha. Midas had his life all planned out born with a silver spoon in his mouth everything was golden until the day it imploded and the burden of the secret began. Sasha thought that her life was perfect going to the country club going shopping and having fun while waiting to graduate that's all gone now part of the past. Her world is decimated by her parents being killed and her knowledge of the secret graduation is out she has no money and no friends. Sasha has no choice but to get a job which brings her back into Midas's life and he wants to help her and be there for her. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this steamy fast-paced, action-packed, MC, second chance romance to see what happens.

Not What I Thought it Would Be

I honestly couldn't get into this book. I've read all I could about the Mother Chapter and the Chapter in either Maryland/ west Virginia / Carolinas. For the life of me I can't remember the location.

This book felt choppy/cut up. The sentences didn't flow into each other. Also, two phrases were used way to many times. The first that got me was when the author would add a random "Ha!" After she had said something or thought something. I could once t it to a feeling of laughing if something was funny or laughing because something was odd. Then I made a game out of reading until I got to the next one. Number two was Stanford/Midas using the phrase "get gone" when he, or other people, needed to leave. I have read this phrase in other MC books but this was used way to many times.

The characters and their problems felt like they should have made a good story but that choppy continuity drove me nuts.
