Moira


Growing up the way I did, in a fundamentalist religion, I

 learned early on to speak only when spoken to

. Otherwise, I paid the penalty with harsh punishments

 all under the guise of ‘discipline’ so that I would grow 

up to be a proper lady.



Meeting Belle in college was the best thing I ever did;

 she was outgoing, outspoken, and vivacious, and I was

 finally able to come into my own without my past

 dragging me down.



Until… we were kidnapped and held for more months

 than I care to remember. All because I found us a job

 as camp counselors. Since I no longer held my tongue, I

 was punished harshly in all ways. By the time Belle’s

 brother’s club found us, I no longer spoke at all. Why

 
bother when all it would earn me was another beating?



Still… if only I didn’t feel like dirt beneath a snake’s

 belly, I’d enjoy the constant attention from one of the

 men, Kracken. However, he deserves so much more

 than I’ll ever be able to be now.


Kracken


I grew up under RiffRaff’s reign as the president of

 the former Roanoke Raiders MC. Now, however, we’re

 Royal Bastards, with a brotherhood that spans multiple

 continents. So when I go with Jingles to find his woman,

 I have absolutely no expectations beyond having my

 brother’s back.



Except… despite her horrific injuries and muteness

, which the doctors have all stated is her choice, I’m

 drawn to the petite brunette. She calls to a place in

 my soul I never realized was empty, and I’ll d

o whatever it takes to make her mine. I don’t care what

 they did to her; the past is just that for a reason.

Only… she slips away one night and ends up in the

 clutches of the very men we rescued her and Belle

 from many months ago.

This time, however, she’s mine and my fury will be

 unleashed.

Moira and Kracken



We enjoyed the fast-paced story with a lot of moving

 parts. The characters are fantastic. The story

 concentrates on healing and developing a love story

 between Moira and Kracken. The club has found itself

 a powerful enemy. However, they have support in

 dealing with the matters at hand.



Moira's story and history have broken our hearts. No

 child should have to live the way she did. Seeing the

 process of this woman returning to her old self is

 freeing, but, you also realize how hard she struggles to

 return to the Moira she was before her life wen

downhill once again especially given her past.



We loved little Hannah and how, whether she realized it

 or not, she had become a big part of Moira's healing

 process. She is a special little lady.


Kracken was just an all-around nice guy. He was full of

 patience and kindness, we loved him, and he was willing

 to fight for what could be with Moira. He instantly felt

 a connection to the broken woman and would do

 anything to make her his.



Finding love after tragedy. We enjoyed the twists and

 turns it took and how all the different clubs are

 working toward one goal. It was fun seeing members

 from not only Krackens Club but other RBMC chapters

 as well. Seeing characters from other author's grace

 the pages in this series were fun and exciting.

About the author

I'm a lifelong reader who had a dream to write her

own books. A transplanted Yankee, I recently moved cross

country from Georgia to Texas. While I have a strong

personal belief system and faith, I won't be "preaching"

in any of my books. They'll have perfectly imperfect

people in it who meet, fall in love, fall into bed (at times;

sometimes they might wait), have kids, get married. In

short, I want to write books that make people think and

feel.

My debut novel, "Bountiful Harvest" was released on the

7th anniversary of my mom's death. Somehow, I think

my biggest cheerleader and staunchest defender

helped it publish so quickly.


Since hitting publish on 8/31/16, I've had the privilege to

begin co-writing with Liberty Parker on an MC series,

the Rebel Guardians. There are seven books out in

this series, plus two books in a spin-off (2.0, the next

generation) and the first book in The Nelson Brothers

(who shows up in book 5 of the RGMC). We're

at work on yet another spin-off (New Beginnings)

featuring some of the girls from the RGMC whose love

interests are not with the men from the MC!


I also co-write a series of children's short stories with a

fellow author, Cherry Shephard and her 10 year old son.


Get immersed in "The Mischief Kitties" and their zany,


crazy lives!
