I have a lot of thoughts surrounding Behemoth but I can say I enjoyed the book overall and I do look forward to reading on in the series. There were segments in the book where I felt like I was missing something, it was eluded that Francis could often tell someone’s thoughts- even his brothers knew this but I never truly understood the context. I thought a couple times that I must have zoned out when reading and missed the backstory. The only other “criticism” I would have is that I expected a lot more “action” throughout the entire story line. All of that said… the characters are FANTASTIC. Grace, Stitch and even the secondary characters tugged at my heart strings. I am really excited to see what this author and series has to offer because I am anxious to learn more and be involved in the inevitable character development. The book was a pretty fast read and did keep my attention. I would definitely recommend it if you like motorcycle clubs and relatable characters.

This is the first book, I’ve read by this author. The blurb had me interested in it the moment I read it. Francis “Stitch” Stein is an intriguing character who straddles the line of the law spectrum. The MC portion of the story in itself was everything that you expect in an MC novel. What you don’t expect is the backstory and the consequences of said backstory. It was a uniquely spun supernatural tale that kept me reading. Now onto Grace. I loved her and her adorable child. I loved the chemistry between all the characters. I did enjoy this book. I will be checking out others by this author.

Behemoth (Grimm Wolves MC Book 1) by D.M. Earl 3 Stars
My favourite books to read are paranormal romances. I also enjoy a good MC romance. This book is a blend of both. Despite having a traumatic childhood, Francis a.k.a Stitch grew up to be a gentle giant. At 6’5 full of scars, he’s intimidating. Even after all the cruelty that his parents bestowed upon him, he still has a heart of gold. He always felt like he was split in two. Being a firefighter and part of an MC, satisfies both parts of him. Growing up unloved, Francis never thought that he would find his one true love until he met Grace. One fateful day, Damian walked into his life and through him, Grace. They fill his life with something he never knew he was missing.
I thought the story was good and the characters were so lovable but I had a few issues with this book. Francis had some special abilities that were never really explained. Was he born with them? Did they appear because of the experiments his parents performed on him? Damian had similar abilities which were never explained as well. How does he have them? Did Grace never realize that he had them? Their relationship from day one was perfect. They met, fell in love and their future was set. Yes there were some bumps caused by Grace’s past but their relationship never suffered. It was unrealistic.
I was very disappointed that there were no wolf shifters in the MC. Their name is the Grimm Wolves and the book is supposed to have a paranormal twist. The title is misleading. My biggest issue is the ending. It just stops. It’s not really a cliffhanger but the story doesn’t end. For me, this book is just a set up for the rest of the series. Which is fine, I’ll still read the rest. I just wasn’t expecting this book to end the way that it did.

Behemoth is a contemporary MC paranormal romance. Francis Stein is living a dual life, firefighter by day and MC biker by night (or days off). He has come to terms with the fact that the combination of his looks and his special talents for reading people, will mean that he is destined to be alone.

Grace is against the MC lifestyle however can see past it to see who Francis really is. Complications however occur when Grace’s ex and his biker brothers do not want her to move on.

I love books about motorcycle clubs! This one is great! Francis M Stein aka Stitch is a man with two very different lives, a firefighter and a nomad in a motorcycle club. Once he meets Grace and Damien he world is forever changed. Can they come together through all the trials? I love the characters in this book. I can’t wait to continue the series.

Earl – Review by Michelle Collier
I can safely and fully honestly say it’s been a good while since I’ve immediately bought an entire series based off the first book. I COULD NOT read this fast enough. I fell in love with these characters so quick, I needed more, and right then. 10/10 gold stars for you author. This was my first book I’ve read written by this author also, not a shred of disappointment in sight.

I liked the flow of the story. It is very smooth and easy to follow along with. I did have a few different places I struggled. I almost feel incomplete. The storyline with the issues of Grace and Damien did not get closed. Then after half way the story turns to the club and all kinds of different possible future scenarios. Again nothing was completed…sounds like it will all continue in the next book. My personal opinion would be for the club business be mixed in with the romance.
Stitch had my heart breaking for him from the beginning. I really thought he would have issue with forming a relationship..not jump into calling her baby. Damien is a godsend! Little kids add so much and Damien is no different. Grace had her struggles but seems to overcome them easily and move forward.
Overall this is a good read. Since it rolls along and is smooth I will give it three stars and a half. Just don’t get too hung up on proper protocol in the MC or how one thing stopped and another started half way. Seems like two stories added together.

This is the first book in the Grimm Wolves series. We meet Francis and Grace, who are both survivors. Francis survived a childhood that affected not only him but his siblings as well. Francis “Stitch” is making is own family and not just in his firefighting life, but through an MC. Grace is a fighter who is doing the best for her child, Damian. Can Damien help heal both sides of Stitch, that he has been fighting against for so long? I had so many questions at the end of the story, and am looking forward to reading the next book.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. This author had me intrigued with the story line especially when it’s a MC and paranormal because these are my favorite reads. I loved the characters they showed real emotions.

He is simply existing even though he has his extended family in his brothers in both his firehouse and MC. With his ability to absorb other’s thoughts and emotions, it makes everything complicated.
When Francis meets a young boy named Damien his life changes drastically and he has new hope. Then you throw in a new woman Grace Sinclair and he sees himself with his own family. Will Francis, Grace, and Damien be able to overcome their problems? Can they have a happily ever after or will fate once again cause chaos for them? You need to read this awesome book and find out about these amazing people.

This is a fantastic book that really caught my attention from the word go. This is still a relatively new author to me but I am already at a point of picking up one of these books without reading the description. I just love how with each and every book I am transported fully into the lives of the characters. This book is such a strong start to a new series. I was hooked immediately and loved the whole feel of the book. It had such an exciting storyline and I found it to be one that really played on your emotions. I loved the dynamic between the characters. Everything just fit together so well. This is a brilliant book and I am really looking forward to the next in the series.

Her unique abilities could help, but they also could be the reason for the clown apocalypse. Surviving high school just got tougher.

Behemoth is the first instalment in the Grimm Wolves MC series by D.M Earl. This isn’t the first book of Ms. Earl’s that I have read, but it is definitely my favourite (so far). It is a MC romance- with a bit of a paranormal touch that made this story even more interesting. The author has managed to blend a few popular themes- firefighters, MC, and the paranormal- and the end result is quite an engaging story. We meet a man, Francis (Stitch) who is both a firefighter, as well as a member of a motorcycle club. He also has a secret that he has carried for as long as he can remember. One that has been a heavy burden at times. He holds himself back from life- taking part, but not truly living. But all that changes when he meets a young boy named Damien, and his mother Grace. What happens next makes for a sweet, feelgood, and intriguing story. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series. Bring on Book #2… Happy Reading!

So this is a new to me author and sometimes you just never know what to expect. However, this was a hit out of the park book that pulls at the heart strings and suggests that though we can see all our flaws that doesn’t make us unloveable.
Francis has two lives: that as a firefighter and that as a biker known as stitch. If this is all there is to life he feels complete with the families he has chosen because his biological family is anything but a family. That is until he meets Damien who is the only child he has met that is not afraid of his scars and that he senses has some underlying abilities making him similar to Francis. He goes on to meet Grace Sinclair and really starts envisioning the family he could have rather than his lonely current existence. Is it too much to overcome or can they overcome all the obstacles to achieve their happily ever after? This is a must read book if you love romances mixed with intrigue and mystery. This book will tug at your heartstrings and pull you in from the get go!

This is book 1 in the Grimm Wolves series and wow what a story. This is a MC romance but what I loved about it is that the main character Francis although a biker is also a soft gentle soul. His character is so vulnerable that you can’t help but fall in love with him.
Francis has had a very hard childhood and wears his scars on his body as proof. He is closed off from everyone preferring to be alone. He also has a talent for reading peoples minds. This and the way his looks has lead him to close off. After all who could love a monster. He spends his days working as a firefighter and is also a member of the Grimm Wolves MC. He never imagined a run in with a beautiful woman could unravel him and make his once sad life filled with happiness again. However things aren’t that simple.
Grace is a single mum raising her gifted son Damien. Damien’s father is in prison. After her relationship with Damien’s father which was brutal and abusive Grace wants nothing to do with any MC’s until she meets Francis. Can Francis show her that not all MC’s are the same? Can Grace learn to trust this man who swears to love and protect her? And what will be the fall out between the two MC’s when Francis dates another guys ‘old lady’?

This story was literally impossible not be sucked into, and love every second of it. The author crafted a story that gave very remarkable characters and a writing that was different, but in a good way. I was hooked and entranced. I could not let go. I really enjoyed this one.
The way the characters were created and their interactions with one another were for sure my favorite concept of this wonderful story. Plus I love the start of this series, and can not wait to see where this is to go next. Francis and Grace and her so, were characters that really impacted me. I loved how this was not just a story of finding yourself. There was so much more associated with it. A lot is going on and happens, and in all honesty, a lot more WILL happen as time goes on. It was a quick read for me, and one I truly enjoyed and could not put down. Can not wait for to read the next installment!
Thank you to this wonderful author that created such a impacting book and wonderful start to a new series. I loved it and I highly recommend this book, series and this amazing author! A must read!

Earl – Review by Lorrene Huisman
Francis, known as Stitch to his MC brothers, has a past that would give people nightmares. When he isn’t working at the fire station, or doing something with the club, he lives the life of a nomad at his cabin. A routine field trip at the fire station is going to change his life forever.
Grace is a nurse and single mom. When her son, Damien, comes home after a field trip and can’t stop talking about the fireman who so so kind to him, she knows she needs to find a way to thank him. Little does she know that this one decision will set in motion a chain of events that will change everything. When she finally meets Francis face-to-face, she is torn because while she finds him attractive, her past has made her very wary of anyone associated with a MC.
There is so much going on in this book…lust, love, revenge, protectiveness, loyalty, and family. I enjoyed the relationship between Grace and Francis and between Francis and Damien. I would love to read more about their bond and the similarities they share. There were also plenty of members of the MC that I would enjoy reading more about. Overall, a good book that I enjoyed reading!

Frances and Grace have rocky pasts. They meet by way of Grace’s son, Damien. A kindred soul, Damien takes to Frances. Through a series of misadventures they come into a romance that defies all thought. Frances is a nomad which allows him the freedom to be with Grace a bit more. Can they work through the MC challenge and the histories they have? The tension is thick but the romance is there. Toss in some spice and it’s ripe for the picking. A book that makes you think. A plot that flows well between the two lives of Francis. The characters are very relatable. The struggles of the main characters are real. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Who doesn’t love a story with a supernatural twist where paranormal and MC’s meet? Paranormal is my first love but MC’s and their alpha men make me swoon to. Throw in some firefighters and I was ready to dig in and start the story. There is plenty of pain and suffering, drama and angst and suspense and insta attraction and one cute little boy that melts hearts. The chemistry between the two main characters is undeniable but they both have pasts that may just keep them apart. Stitch is a man haunted by the horrors his past that have scared him in more ways than one. Grace has had bad experiences in the past will she be able to turn to the Grimm Wolves MC when needed. I am interested to see what the future holds for the Grimm Wolves MC.

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up from her. This author’s writing skills are such that her attention to details give her story a realistic feel. This book is no different. It is a second chance romance story where the characters pop and make the story come to life. I enjoyed how well written this story was and how engaging it was. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A story where three people meet and have a second chance at happiness. Life has been full of chaos in their pasts, will that chaos return and what will the future have in store for them? I enjoyed the growth of the characters and their chemistry with each other. They are connectable and are supportive of each other. I really enjoyed this story and what the characters brought to it. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Gemma is battling the demons from her past as she tries to find a footing in her future. Her attraction to Shep, a street racer, puts her eerily close to a lifestyle from which she is trying to break free. As the new MC starts to feel like family to Gemma, she finds herself in difficult situations. Gemma finds a true support and partner in Doc. Doc is there through hellish episodes, cementing his place in Gemma’s life.
This book moves at lightning speed. It gets a little confusing at times when they don’t discuss the time jump but as the story moves along, you can figure out the timing. It is hard to believe Gemma makes it through so much in this book and, as her history is revealed, in life. Gemma is strength and resilience. Hopefully Doc is her HEA.
This book contains depictions of assault and rape. Do not read if you find yourself triggered by those topics.

The new stories of the frightening ways love can manifest are interspersed with haunting love poems. Each tale takes you to the edge of your seat. Will strangers risk everything for each other? Does true love last through the centuries? Can beings see past their differences or long-held beliefs to find true love?
One of the stories that had me gripping my pillow was Reflections of the Past by Melody Calder. Mary’s story started with feeling out of place where she should have felt at home. The chances Mary took to find belonging led her to real love. When everything in Mary’s world is destroyed, she finds a way to get her revenge. Sins of the past haunt Lia in ways she doesn’t even know yet as Mary’s vengeance collides with Lia’s heart. With Lia’s understanding, Mary is finally able to find peace.
The other story that caused my pillow distress was Runes and Fangs by Victoria Larque. Kayla has every reason to hate after what she has gone through. Minette should feel the same way but doesn’t let her light fade because of the actions of others. When Kayla first meets Minette, Minette should cower but doesn’t. Minette finds it within herself to be strong. Kayla should despise Minette but can’t seem to feel anything other than protective. Together, they seem to be able to accomplish the impossible while finding love.

This book was hard for me to rate, so my review will reflect that. I am a fan of dark romance and other dark readings, so that is also reflected here.
3.75 rounded up.
The good: I did enjoyed the overall story of this book, and reading about Gem’s evolution into Rage (the Motorcycle Club) and the glimpses of her backstory and how she came to be when she met Shep. Gem does get her HEA with her man, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her building that relationship and allowing it to thrive. I also really enjoyed the street racing aspect and the adrenaline that came from reading those scenes.
The so-so: I feel like some of the flashbacks would have in fact been better placed sooner in the books, especially some of Gem’s flashbacks to her time with the Hawks. (That transition in the book seemed to be thrust on us out of nowhere.) I felt like there wasn’t enough time to recover from her trauma in the flashbacks to then jumping into the contemporary trauma she was experiencing. Normally when I read a dark series I like to read about characters who, despite their trauma, are strong and willing to fight back, and while Gem does, it’s done in a way that leaves me left wanting. I found the romance aspect of this book lacking as well as there was almost no actual sex scenes that occurred, were just told there was sex between the characters, or that it was good or the best sex of Gem’s life, and then the only real description of a sex scene is traumatic for the character.
Disclaimer: I have not read the other books in the series, and by this book I don’t think I will. This book is not the first I’ve read by this author, so when I saw it and the synopsis I was excited; however it fell flat for me. This book was originally published in 2013, making it 9 years old at the time of this review, and the author’s writing has come a long way since. I just couldn’t get behind the writing here. It’s definitely a case of telling, not showing. I also felt that it wasn’t the smoothest in its transitions from one situation to the next.
Cw: drug use, violence against women, domestic violence, detailed description of fist fighting, sexual and nonsexual assault, active rape, motor cycle club culture.

Road Rage (Outlaw Series Book 4) by Karina Kantas 3 Stars
Gem used to be with the MC Hawks with whom she has a violent past but after leading a quiet life for a couple of years, she yearns for the adrenaline rush again. After joining Rage, she realizes that this MCis not so different from the last. This is an MC romantic suspense story. It involves some danger, drama and betrayal. I love MC stories and I had never read a book by this author before so I was excited to pick this one up.
It’s very different from the usual ones that I read. First off, it’s about a motorcycle gang with speed bikes and racing, not Harleys. Second, the main character is a tough as nails female, which was nice. Although part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. My issue with the book is that I felt that there could have been more development with the relationships between the characters. It seemed as though the author wanted to tell a story but skimmed over all the details, there was no depth. I couldn’t connect to the characters. It could be because I hadn’t read the other books in the series so that could be my fault. Most of the time I didn’t know how much time had passed between events; days, weeks? It is a fast paced story which I find the author had to squeeze within a limit of pages.

This is the fourth instalment of the series. I enjoyed this book. Gemma has had a very hard life and now is enduring more pain but to what cost. Sometimes club life can not be what she expected to and sometimes it’s more. Things are looking well when she meets Shep and is introduced into the world of a motorcycle club. This motorcycle club is called Rage. There are so many twists and turns in this story, which is unexpected. Gem is a strong woman and nothing keeps her down. This is an example of a gritty motorcycle club book.

This book had me engaged from beginning to end. Gem is a strong female lead and its very much needed in an MC world. I was hanging on for this ride to see what would happen next as it was full of action and I loved every minute of it. I cannot wait to read more!

This book is an emotional roller coaster. You are going to need some tissues and a strong stomach to make it through. It is an amazing book, I highly recommend reading it if you don’t have any triggers. There is a lot of abrasive scenes played out through the whole book. That aside the story line of this book is amazing. It kept me turning the page and reading as fast as I could through the whole book. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. There is huge character development for the leading lady in this story. She is a bada$$ with an amazing will to survive the crap life has dealt her. There are times you will want to smack her but seriously who makes the best decisions all the time. Having a book be able to pull that type of emotion out of the reader is a true testament as to how well it is written. I highly recommend this book as an escape from reality.

This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I was HOOKED! Gem came from a dark and checkered past, and while trying to keep a low profile, she finds herself in the same situation that she once was. Gem ends up meeting Shep and while she thinks he is good for her she soon finds out that he is not who he seems. This book had many twists and turns and had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was to come next. The author did an amazing job telling their story and I cannot wait to read the other books in this series!!
