#BookReview ~ Fang by Cala Riley ~ #MCRomance #Romance #FoundFamily

About the Book:

Cami

Growing up the way I did, it’s no wonder I had to resort to stripping to make ends meet. I refuse to be my mother though, no matter the cost.

So when I land the interview of a lifetime at one of the better strip joints in the city, I think I have it made.

Until I meet him.

Fang.

He not only hires me, but he begins to haunt my dreams.

Things aren’t always as they seem though and when push comes to shove, will I be strong enough to survive the hand dealt or will I crumble like a house of cards?

Fang

I never wanted to manage a strip club, but I am willing to do whatever I have to in order to make my brothers’ lives easier. So here I am dealing with cat fights and glitter.

The whole thing is causing me a big headache until I meet her.

Cami.

She’s a skittish dancer who refuses to do more than twirl her body around on stage, but I can’t get her out of my mind.

She comes with a lot of baggage though, not that I mind.

After all, what’s the point of being part of the Lotus MC if I’m not able to carry a bit of weight for the girl of my dreams?

My Review:

Fang is the second book in the Lotus MC: San Antonio series. Fang manages the MC’s gentleman’s club. Not ideal but a legit business with rules and regulations in place to keep everyone, especially the ladies, safe. His most popular dancer is Cami, but she plays by her own rules. She dances and that’s all. No side hustles, backroom shenanigans, or fraternizing with the guests or other dancers. As Fang and Cami dance around his lifestyle and her past, something begins to bloom. When Fang and Cami click, the heat level spikes, jealousy flies off the pages, and safety becomes an issue.

I absolutely loved Camy and Fang’s story. Cami has a backstory that should make everyone cry. Her baggage still affects her and, while she’s pushing through life, certain sounds, activities, or movements ignite her trauma. Fang’s attention to her is unusual for him, but he’s drawn to her. He’s the hero she needs but has a hard time accepting. She’s the woman he needs but he tries to deny his feelings for until he just can’t shake them anymore.

Fang is a beautiful and gritty MC romance, filled with suspense, action, and realism. The authors created a novel with all the feels. I laughed, my eyes waters, and I got angry. I was anxious and on the edge of my seat. The synopsis pulled me in but the character-driven plot, outstanding character development and world building, and writing style kept me engaged. I was unable to put the book down.

#BookReview ~ Midnight by Cala Riley ~ #MCRomance #Romance

Midnight
The best and the worst thing happened to me when I was nineteen. I became the father to two beautiful twin girls, but it tied me to their mother. I never thought I would trust a woman again until I met her. Lainey. She's everything I should stay away from. Young, gorgeous, and comes with a lot of baggage. Not only does she work at my tattoo shop, but she is also my twin's nanny. So why can't I leave her alone?

Lainey
My only goal in life is to survive. When I walked into the Lotus MC club that night, that was the only thought on my mind. I had no idea what I was getting into until I met him. Midnight. Not only is he offering me a life raft, but there's more to him than the grumpy persona he puts on. When his life is thrown for a loop, I offer to jump in and help him. After all, he is my attractive boss who I owe my life to.


My Review:

Midnight is the fantastic fourth book in the Lotus MC series. The authors crushed the single father and the nanny trope. For the record, the authors also nailed the baby mama who uses the kids as pawns. As someone married to a man with a daughter, I saw firsthand how mothers use their kids to hurt fathers. It’s pathetic and disgusting and Midnight’s ex was aptly written and portrayed. I love the real-life elements I can relate to even when they aren’t the good elements.

Midnight is a beautiful and gritty MC romance, filled with suspense, action, and realism. The authors created a novel with all the feels. The description of the book pulled me in but the character-driven plot, outstanding character development and world-building, and writing style kept me engaged. I couldn't put the book down and read it in one sitting.

#BookReview ~ Savage (Lotus MC: San Antonio, Book 1) by Cala Riley #FriendstoLovers #SecondChance #Romance #MCRomance

Savage: Lotus MC: San Antonio, Book 1

Publication Date: ‎ March 27, 2025
Print Length: ‎ 260 pages

Goodreads

Amazon

About the Book:

Savage

I never wanted to be the president of the Lotus MC, but when my uncle dies, I have no choice, but to fill his shoes.

As if putting my club back in order isn't enough, a Texas sized tornado blows into my life.
Bailey Watts.

She is my childhood best friend and the only woman I have ever truly loved. Time and distance has changed us though.

When danger finds its way to her life, I have a decision to make. Do I want to make good on the claim I put on her when I was seven years old or will I let her go for her own good?

Bailey

Taking a PI case for my best friend shouldn't be so hard, but her brother is a slippery little weasel.
That's how I find myself at the gate of the Lotus MC knowing there is only one man in this world that can help me.

Hayes Brown.

I haven't seen him since he broke my heart when I was seventeen years old, but the moment we are together again those old feelings come flooding in.

Things aren't always as they seem. When my case becomes intertwined in his club, we find ourselves chasing ghosts while dealing with the fall out of past decisions.

Will Savage and Bailey find their way back to love or are they destined to crash and burn once more?

My Review:

Savage is the amazing first book in the Lotus MC: San Antonio series. Two childhood best friends reconnect after several years apart. The catalyst of their reunion is the missing brother of Bailey's bestie, Laura. When her PI case stalls, Bailey knows the only person she can turn to for help is Hayes. 

Their reunion is explosive, snarky, and a long time coming. I loved every bit of their banter. When they both finally admit their feelings - and not just the lovey-dovey ones - their walls crumble and the heat kicks up into high gear. Amid this friends-to-lovers and second-chance-romance is a an evil no one sees coming. Savage will do anything to protect Bailey - and I mean anything.

Savage is a beautiful and gritty MC romance, filled with suspense, action, and realism. The authors created a novel with all the feels. I laughed, my eyes waters, and I got angry. I was anxious and on the edge of my seat. The synopsis pulled me in but the character-driven plot, outstanding character development and world building, and writing style kept me engaged.

Wrath by Cala Riley is now live! #Review #MCRomance @GreysPromo

 Wrath by Cala Riley is now live!

About the Book:

Wrath
All I have in life is my brothers and my club.
It's all I ever needed.
Until Tara.
Seeing her broken and bruised called to a part of me I thought was long dead.
She can't handle my brand of crazy though.
So I'll offer her the only thing I can.
My claim, but in name only.

Tara
Being a sweetbutt, I never let myself imagine finding my happy ever after within the walls of the Lotus MC.
It just wasn't done.
Until Wrath.
His claim was meant to save me, but it only left me feeling isolated.
He thinks I can't handle him, but he's wrong.
Underneath this damaged girl is a woman dying to burst free.
If only, I could break down his walls enough to explore it with him.

With danger lurking around every corner, will Wrath and Tara ever be able to overcome their insecurities and find solace within one another?

Check trigger warnings.

My Review:

Wrath is the excellent second book in the Lotus MC Series.

Wrath has never needed a steady woman in his life...until Tara. When she is attacked, Wrath claims her to protect and save her. Neither expected for their union to be the beginning of anything, let along the breaking down of walls.

Wrath is a beautiful and gritty MC romance, filled with suspense, action, and realism. The authors created a novel with all the feels. I laughed and I cried. I worried and then felt immense relief. I was anxious and on the edge of my seat. The description of the book pulled me in but the character-driven plot, outstanding character development and world-building, and writing style kept me engaged. I couldn't put the book down.

For the record - I hate needles just as Tara does, but I have four tattoos. Medical needles and tattooing are 2 completely different animals. I could get tattooed everyday, but shots and getting blood drawn freak me out.

I can't wait for the next book about Colt.

Release Day #Review ~ Reaper by Cala Riley #LotusMC #MC #MCRomance #Romance @GreysPromo

 

Reaper by Cala Riley is now live!

 About the Book:

Natalie

The past year of my life has been a nightmare.
Always watching what I said and did to not anger him.
Until the night he takes things too far.
Running to the Lotus MC is dangerous, but it's the only choice I've got.
All I can hope is that they are strong enough to save me from the monster chasing me.

Reaper
Being the president of the Lotus MC means that I have to be ready for anything.
So when she shows up at my door broken and bruised, I'm skeptical.
Until she says the one name that stops me in my tracks.
When my past and present collide, my entire world gets turned upside down.
All I know is that I will protect her at all costs.

My Review:

Reaper by Cala Riley is an excellent first book in the new Lotus MC series by Cala Riley. Tethered in an abusive relationship, Natalie finds the courage to flee the confines of her boyfriend's home after a particularly brutal beating (on page). After months of abuse and overhearing her abuser's phone calls, Natalie flees to the only place she can think up -  the Lotus MC. Risky and dangerous, they are her only hope; her only chance at escape. 

Reaper has a problem within the club and he can't put his finger on it, frustrating no only himself but his right-hand men. When a beautiful, but broken, woman shows up asking for Kingston, he's not sure if her plea is legit or she's just part of the problem. That is, until she utters the one name that makes his blood run cold. He's now made it his mission to keep her safe and try to undo everything her abuser did.

Reaper is a beautiful and gritty MC romance, filled with suspense, action, and realism. The authors created a novel with all the feels. I laughed, cried, and got angry. I was anxious and on the edge of my seat. The synopsis pulled me in but the character-driven plot, outstanding character development and world building, and writing style kept me engaged. I was unable to put the book down.
