The writing is engrossing and kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. For fans of MCs, strong women, dark plots, and plenty of twists and turns, this is a definite read. ~ Leigh, Guilty Pleasures
This series is just addictive in a dark and disturbing way.
Brutally gang raped by Dornan Ross and six of his sons in the Gypsy Brothers motorcycle club when she is only fifteen, Juliette Portland dies and recreates herself as Samantha Peyton, a burlesque dancer determined to exact vengeance on the men that raped her and killed her father.
Infiltrating the Gypsy Brothers MC, Samantha encounters her first love and the only person to try and stop her attack, Dornan’s youngest son, Jase. Trying to carry out her revenge while at the same time fighting her attraction to Jace, Samantha must keep focused on her goal of making the Gypsy Brothers pay for their sins without disclosing her true identity.
This is not what I’d call a love story. While the feelings that Samantha has for Jase are real and bittersweet, the focus of the story is truly on her exacting revenge on Dornan and his sons. The lengths which she will go to in order to carry out her plans are dark and brutal, and the viciousness of the Gypsy Brothers is horrific. But the writing of the book, and the revelation of Samantha/Juliette’s history little by little, sucks you in.
The main complaint I have about this series is the price. I knew going in that it was a serial, but considering the titles, I assume it will be told over the course of 7 installments. This cost of each book makes for a steep price for a long series. However, the writing is engrossing and kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. For fans of MCs, strong women, dark plots, and plenty of twists and turns, this is a definite read.

Description SEVEN SONS (bk1):
My father was most certainly NOT an innocent man. As the leader of the Gypsy Brothers MC, he was guilty of many things. But he died for a crime that he didn’t commit, framed by an enemy within who then stole his club and everything he had ever worked to protect.
Including my innocence.
When Dornan Ross framed my father, he set into motion a series of events that could never be undone. My father was murdered by Dornan Ross and his sons when I was fifteen years old.
Before my father died, Dornan Ross and his seven sons stole my innocence, branded my skin and in doing so, ensured that their lives would be prematurely cut short. That they would suffer.
I’ve just turned twenty-one, and I’m out for blood. I’m out for revenge.
But I didn’t expect to fall for Jase, the youngest brother in the club.
I didn’t expect that he would turn my world upside down, yank my heart out of my chest and ride away into the sunset with it.
Now, I’m faced with an impossible choice – Jase, or avenging my fathers death?
SEVEN SONS is free as of date of this review.
Description Six Brothers (bk2):
I have lied.
I have cheated.
I have given my body and my life to the man who destroyed my family and left me for dead.
I have killed, I have sinned, and worst of all, I have enjoyed the misery of others.
I have licked the salty tears of a father mourning his firstborn son, and nothing has ever tasted so sweet.
I have died, and I have been resurrected, a phoenix from the ashes.
I know I’m going to hell. I’ll burn in the fiery pits alongside Dornan and his sons for the things I’ve done, and for the things I’m about to do.
But I don’t care. It will be worth every lick of the devils flames on my guilty flesh to destroy Dornan Ross.
One down, six to go.
Description Five Miles (bk 3):
My father taught me the importance of an eye for an eye—a cardinal rule, ingrained in every club member.
A life for a life.
Seven lives in payment for an unimaginable list of sins.
People might wonder why I’m doing this. If this vengeance is borne from some noble cause. If I’m trying to prevent others from suffering at the hands of Dornan Ross and his sons.
But I’m no selfless vigilante.
I’m doing this for me. I’m doing it because I want to.
I’m doing this because I just want to be able to sleep at night without seeing their faces.
This is the fate they have earned. The penance for their crimes.
Time to send some of these brothers off with a bang.
Description Four Score (bk 4) COMING May 26:
Love and hate aren’t all that different.
Two sides of the same coin, the yin and the yang.
Once upon a time, Jason Ross loved me. And now that he knows what I’ve done, I see the love and the hate warring within him.
I see the way he looks at me.
The way he wonders how I could do the things I’ve done.
I hear it in the way he begs me to stop, to leave this life and run away with him.
But there’s only one way I’m leaving LA.
And that’ll be when Dornan and the rest of his sons are dead and buried.
Jase might forgive me for what I’ve done.
But will he forgive me for the crimes I’m yet to commit?
Thanks Leigh
