Author: Nikki Landis

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2025

Riding for Hell The start of Rael and Nylah's whirlwind romance. They meet under the most gruesome circumstances. Rael happened to be at the right place at the right time to save a life. Quickly after their first meeting, you realize Nylah is a bit of a spitfire who is not afraid to get up in a scary biker's face,; she is a fierce little thing, to say the least. The undeniable attraction between them will not be ignored. What happened to the woman Rael saved brings up old emotions from his past, and it seems his past is about to collide with his future. We loved Rael and Nylah's story, how she was light to his darkness, and even though we felt he was undeserving, he kept her anyway. Every time he calls her kitten, it makes us laugh. The plot is intriguing as Rael thinks there is more to the story than just a random act, and he tends to get to the bottom of things. Rael visits the past in this story, some of it good, and heartbreaking, and our heart goes out to the man as he feels so much guilt and yet he has not been able to enact his revenge. This was one sexy hot read; Nylah and Rael burned up the sheets. The characters are fantastic; we love them all. The plot, as always, has a lot of moving parts, this is an ongoing plot, they are getting to know the players and who they are, how they are connected, and some may even surprise you. The club is one step closer to its goalpost. This story is heart-wrenching and goes to the heart of the reader as the characters all have a story of their own, and it is not always pretty, but they find their perfect match, light to the dark to heal their broken souls. We loved it, and the paranormal -themed characters and their special abilities. Twisted Devil - Nylah and Rael, the Sergeant at Arms, and the sexy nurse! Things are heating up in this current tale, Rael is all fired up, and it all surrounds The Scorpion MC and those trafficking Russians. Some big secrets come to light in this explosive plot. Wow! OMG! The story focuses on Nylah and Rael, the growth of their relationship, and their incredible chemistry, which leads to a ton of hot and sexy scenes. We loved them as a couple; they are perfect for one another. No matter the danger that surrounds them, and the club, Rael is still up to his old antics and mischievous ways to lighten the mood of things. The story was high-octane all the way through, and we loved it. These two as a couple are a favorite of ours in this series, the dark/light. We have never seen a couple more perfect for one another.

Surprise after surprise in this one; the secrets are astounding. An even bigger twist presented itself in this one, and we have to say it will benefit the good guys in the long run. This plot was a page-turner for sure.

Ridin' for Hell

In this life, you reap what you sow…

Not everyone wants to run from their past.

Some bastards embrace the chance to hunt their prey and seek vengeance. They thrive on carnage. Like me.

It’s the reason I’m the club’s SGT at Arms.

I handle the hard shit and the messy jobs for my pres. Anything that inflicts pain and spills blood. I love to lose control because that’s when my demons come out to play.

Protecting my club and finding justice for my sister are all I have left after six years without closure.

Revenge and chaos have become my life.

Until I meet a sexy nurse who changes everything. Nylah is the light to my darkness. The angel sent to save a demon.

When my past threatens her, I can’t stay in the shadows any longer. I’ll raise Hell to keep her safe and make her mine. Not a single soul can stop me.

They call me Azrael, the Angel of Death—a one-way ticket to Hell. When you see me, run. I won’t show mercy.

My Reaper is ready to ride. And where he goes, death and destruction follow. I’ll have my vengeance, my woman, and justice, no matter the consequences.

Twisted Devil

The Royal Bastards MC is mine. My club. My family. My salvation. And I will do anything to protect it.

I'm brutal. Crazy. Ruthless. And I won't apologize for it.

I never believed I would love anything as much as being SAA and taking the Devil's Ride. Becoming a Reaper and patching in with the RBMC were the best decisions I ever made.

Until I met Nylah.

The feisty nurse owns my black soul. She's become the most critical person in my world.

My life in the club is too dangerous for her, but I won't give her up.

She's an obsession. An addiction. The light to my darkness. A liability.

When my past surfaces, along with all the bad things I've done in the name of vengeance, I know I have to let her go.

It's the only way to keep her safe.

Losing Nylah forces the monster within to break free and lash out. Secrets. Lies. Betrayal. It's the shocking truth that unleashes the beast I've tried so hard to contain.

The twisted devil inside is done with following the rules.

My Reaper is willing to risk everything, even a deal with the devil, to save Nylah.

And there isn't any place where my enemies will be able to hide.

Hell Rider is part of the Royal Bastards MC Tonopah, NV world. This box set contains the first two books in Rael's story. This is a dark romance with mature content, human trafficking, kidnapping, torture, revenge, biker slang, and violence with a paranormal REAPER twist. Rael is a slightly unhinged, overprotective SGT at Arms who falls hard for the sweet, feisty nurse who sees beyond his bloodied armor and guides him toward redemption.
