Ever wonder how an MC prez becomes an MC prez? Well this is the first book I’ve read like this, and I loved it! Red is a young man whose life wasn’t easy.

Read this book, it’s not like any of the others in the series (that I’ve read so far), but it’s just as amazing! It’s suspenseful, addicting, and, of course, one of a kind. There is love, loss, respect, and deception. Red’s life is a fun one to follow.

Loved this audiobook! The narrator was on point, really making me feel like I was in the story. Will is a rich man who doesn’t know what he is missing until he meets Harper. Harper is in the same boat, except she feels like she has much more to lose, because she has Jeremy. Jeremy is Harper’s younger brother who has a brain injury making her his caretaker.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

El is a rock stars’s stepdaughter, so she understands the press and the spotlight. Her parents have never wanted that for her, but all she wants is to be her own artist and sing her own music. Nobody understands how music speaks to El, until she meets Wil. Wil comes from a poorer childhood, but happy nonetheless. He doesn’t feel like he’s missed out on anything living with his mom and grandfather. But when Wil’s mom gets sick, he understands he has to do anything to make sure she is taken care of. Meeting El was not an accident, but falling for her… Read this book and see how the story turns out. It holds love, friendship, trust, and betrayal, but can they find their way through it all? The story is stretched out perfectly, just the right amount of time between plot changes, and relationship changes. The author did an amazing job with this book and I look forward to reading more books of hers!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Author did not disappoint! Rock Bottom is about Rock, a member of the Satan’s Devils motorcycle club, and Becca, a good church girl. From the beginning, this book captures your attention. There is action, betrayal, deception, and so much more in this book that hooks you. Read this book if you like love stories, being on the edge of your seat, action adventures, and steamy behind-closed-doors scenes. Rock Bottom was unique from the other books in this series so far because the action and adventure is the first thing to occur. If anything, this made me listen continuously, I couldn’t stop.

The author does a great job of looking at everything from everyone’s perspective, because in the end, Mavis’ decision affected everyone, and everybody deserves their say.

Peg’s Stand (Satan’s Devils MC #6) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is a continuation of the amazing series written by Manda Mellett. This story melts your heart. Peg has always been one of my favorite characters ever since his role in the first book in the series. To see him find love warms my heart. There is a lot of aggressive and painful patches to get through in the story, but it is so worth it to get to the lovely bond these two people share. Peg is the Sergeant at Arms for the Satan’s Devils motorcycle gang, but he is also a veteran, a sweetheart, and wants love. Darcy is a badass firefighter with a team of her own. She has gotten herself into a bad situation when Peg finds her, and from there on out, they stick together. Read this book. It’s amazing, just like all the others in this series!
