    Desperate Beginnings **Desperate Beginnings is the prequel to the Ravens Ruin MC Series, helping to explain why the club is the way is. It's not much of a romance, but a segue into the romantic suspense series.** I don’t realize I’m the monster in this story until the rope is already snug around my neck. Every order, every move, every attempt to make things better only dig my grave a little deeper. Until this point in my life, I’d fought, killed, and bled to build my club, to prove to my son what kind of man was needed to lead Ravens Ruin MC. Who could’ve predicted that he’d be a bigger monster than I ever dreamed? 2. Sins of the Father I didn’t want the legacy of leading my father’s MC. I didn’t want to be him. I didn’t want to feel soul-deep attraction to the girl my sister brought home from school. But, we don’t always control our destinies, do we? As the new President of the Ravens Ruin MC, I had a list of changes that needed to be made for the club. The same woman in my bed night after night wasn’t on that list. Yet, here I am, sheets tangled, skin smelling like hers, and a devious smile on my face. 3. Luck of the Devil I'm good enough to protect her. I'm good enough to die for her. But, I'm not good enough to touch her? I may be the Vice President of the Ravens Ruin MC, but her brother, the President, has given all of us orders that she's off-limits. It's for the best, really. The demons in my past love to play with pretty little girls like her. 4. Dancing with the Devil I thought leaving her in that room covered in her attacker’s blood would teach her a lesson. I thought she’d be more careful about her safety. Little did I know that she’s seeking the pain and humiliation. Well, it’s her lucky day, because pain is sort of my thing. I can hurt her much more than she’s able to hurt herself. The twist is we’ll both enjoy every second of it.

When crushing news from the doctor puts her life in check, Hannah is faced with challenges no girl of her age is equipped to handle, and she must rely on unconventional allies for support. Allies The Reaper certainly won’t approve of. Follow two love stories; each just as deadly as the other. Being together might be dangerous, but outlaws are meant to break the rules. "Forbidden is an intense story that quickly had me by the throat. It's genuine, realistic, and serious plot, along with multiple perspectives help the reader connect with, if not one, multiple characters. This one book purposely ends with many unanswered questions, setting up the plot for the next book in the series. I am interested not only in further development of existing characters, but also the introduction of new characters such as Rex." - Sarah "Every event and emotion was so real. The fear of getting into a relationship with a man so close in relation and so far in age. The guilt Reaper feels when he hits Hannah was heart touching, he knew how sensitive his daughter is and knew that it was a huge mistake which could end his relationship with her. Moreover, where Eve is strong and outspoken, we see a sensitive side of her for her twin. It was well written. Bravo!" - Vrinda
