Erotic MC Romance

Released April 12, 2016

Loveswept

Series: Sons of Odin, Book 2

Synopsis

The Sons of Odin motorcycle club is back! Violetta Rand follows up Persuasion (“A seriously sexy thrill ride!”—Stacey Kennedy) with a sizzling short novel that takes passion to the brink of chaos . . . and beyond.

Ambitious young attorney Tina Bethel doesn’t have time for commitment, but she wouldn’t pass up some hot, no-strings sex with the right guy—like Sons of Odin officer Vincent Ramos. Six feet, five inches of solid muscle and biker masculinity, he revs Tina up like no man ever has. The trouble is, every time they get physical, Tina’s cravings are never quenched—because Vincent always pumps the brakes before the point of no return.

With her sexy body packaged in a short skirt, Tina’s enough to drive any man crazy. Vincent isn’t sure how he’s resisted her shameless come-ons. He just knows that if he gives in, he won’t be able to stop—and after two failed marriages, he can’t afford any more broken promises. But when a disgruntled client of Tina’s starts stalking her, Vincent has to make up his mind about his true feelings—fast. Because if he’s willing to put his body in the line of fire, he should be able to risk his heart in the name of love.

Friends with benefits… plus.

If anyone has noticed I’ve been reading just a few MC Romances lately. Ever wonder what it is about the MC culture that attracts us besides the lawless badass alpha males? Well, I can’t speak to everyone else but I can relate it all to myself. You see when I was a very young girl, I had a favorite uncle that would drop by on his motorcycle and pick me up for road trips. My memories don’t go so far as to remembering where we went or for how long… nope, it was all about the wind in my hair and the joy of the ride… Oh, and being singled out as my uncle’s favorite riding bud. Then I grew up and the first vehicle I chose when I turned sixteen was a motorcycle. Ummm nope, I totally didn’t have a thing about bikes and men that ride them… just like I don’t have a thing about our men in the armed forces having grown up a military brat. Nope not at all 🙂

I don’t know how many of you have noticed that ex-military men tend to make up a good percentage of the MCs… at least in the books I’ve been reading. The same can be said of the Sons of Odin series. In Possession, Vincent is ex-military like a number of his MC brothers. That in itself says a little bit about him in my books. He’s twice divorced and feeling unlucky in love. And, believe me, that twice bitten, twice shy sentiment definitely applies. Yet he comes from a large family so he values family greatly. He assuredly loves his sons to beyond and back. So why the heck does he allow the ex to get away with a court order that allows him one visit a month with his boys? A definite contradiction. And yeah when he’s paired up with Tina to plan his best friend’s wedding reception the two of them definitely have chemistry. But no matter how tempting the tease he’s bound and determined to steer clear of commitment.

It’s been six months since Tina last saw Vincent at her best friend’s wedding. The man seriously tripped her trigger but left her burning with no satisfaction in sight. Yet when she picks up a dangerous stalker, Vincent is exactly who she runs to. And now that she has him in her back pocket providing protection she’s going to make sure she turns up the heat on a regular basis… The question is… who’s going to get burnt? If she’s lucky it’ll be the both of them burning things down on & off any horizontal surface. And while friends with benefits are just what this lawyer has proposed, she’s more than willing to negotiate for a lifetime.

Typical MC fodder, you have your standard club politics and dangerous situations weaving in the background while there’s an in your face threat to Tina keeping these two on their toes as desires burn out of control. It may take a hypothetical club upside the head but Vicent does get with the program… quite admirably I might add. The loving is hot. The characters have depth and there is plenty of action, all the things that count in my book to making for a great read.
