Guns n’ Boys series

by

K.A. Merikan

‘Guns n’ Boys’ is a twisted, dark erotic romance mixed with a crime thriller. It’s a long, turbulent journey of one couple deeply entrenched in the dealings of their mafia family. Behind the morbid humor and extreme violence hides the intense love affair of Domenico Acerbi, the mafia’s best hitman, and Seth Villani, the Don’s son.

Together, they have to deal with their blooming affection for each other, their family’s homophobia, their own prejudice, lust, jealousy, and violence. In true anti-hero fashion, they do so in most morally ambiguous ways.

Nightmares of Seth’s torture are still haunting his dreams, and if he and Seth are to leave the country quietly and disappear off the mafia’s radar, he needs to stay in charge and keep everyone under control. What he doesn’t need is Seth giving him attitude, keeping secrets, and distancing himself for no reason.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the third book in the Guns n’ Boys series. Seth is recovering from his ordeal he went through in the last book. Dominique is still a badass with violent tendencies when the need arises. There is violence in this book so if you’re not interested in that I would advise you not to read this book.

There are some hot sex scenes throughout and I’m sure readers would love them but I still have mixed emotions about this series considering the main characters are related. I liked everything in this book except the intimacy between Seth and Dominique so I skipped those parts after reading the first scene.

All in all it was an o.k. read.

Blurb: — Love is sour like a Sicilian lemon. —

The Family is always right.

The Family doesn’t forget.

The Family pays for blood in blood.

Domenico Acerbi grew up in the shade of Sicilian lemon trees ready to give his life for the Family. Ready to follow orders and exceed expectations. A proud man of honor.
When Seth, the younger son of the Don is kidnapped, it’s Domenico who is sent to get him back. The man he finds though, is not the boy he knew all those years ago. Lazy, annoying, spoiled, and as hot as a Sicilian summer.
Seth Villani wants nothing to do with the mafia.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t get a say when the Family pulls him right back into its fold after his mother’s death. Thrown into a den of serpents otherwise known as the Villani Family, Seth has to find a way to navigate in the maze of lies. But when Domenico Acerbi, the most vicious snake of them all, sinks his fangs into Seth, the venom changes into an aphrodisiac that courses through Seth’s veins.

Domenico knows his life is about to change when he gets the order to train Seth up to the role of future Don. Seth isn’t made for it. He isn’t even made. But a man Domenico knows he would never have to fear might just be someone he’s always needed.

If Seth is doomed to follow in his father’s footsteps, he might as well enjoy himself—with the most intoxicating man, he’s ever met. Maybe he can even fool himself into believing that Domenico isn’t a handsome sociopath who kills for a living.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I was excited to read this book after reading the blurb. Very well written, action packed in some scenes, and intense. After being kidnapped by the Chinese and tortured, Seth is traded for another man and taken home. While there, he learns that, he is to become the next Don.

After tailing Vera one time it seemed that page after page was nothing but Domenico trying teach Seth about being a don. I didn’t see it myself as I didn’t understand how raping(If someone says no and the other person keeps going that’s rape and there were rape scenes several times in this book) him several times, degrading him, continuously putting him down, mocking him and hitting Seth.

From what I could tell, Domenico was jealous of Seth as he felt he would’ve made a better don and it mentions that in the book and he abused the trust that was given to him to hurt Seth because of that. Domenico and Seth are actually half-brothers.

While this story was good, I had problems with some of the so-called intimate scenes. But the rest of the story is quite good. Full of action, drama, mystery, and intense fight scenes. I can’t wait to read what else happens in the next book considering Seth is ordered to marry a woman so that should be interesting to see if he follows through or if something else happens.

Good read.

The Devil's Ride by K.A. Merikan Spotlight, Excerpt & Review!

K.A. Meriken - The Devil's Ride Banner1

Hop on the bitch seat and ride with Tooth, the feared vice president of the Coffin Nails motorcycle club. No one wants to end up in his dentist’s chair, deep underneath the club compound, but his bed? That might be another matter. Lucifer, the bastard son of Tooth’s friend, is used to doing things his way, and being under supervision of the most intimidating man he ever met is the last thing he wants. At least until he understands that there’s no place safer than the mattress at the feet of Tooth’s bed.

I enjoy stories with plenty sexual tension that for one reason or another can’t be resolved right away. That’s the case with The Devil’s Ride. Tooth and Luci can’t, or rather may not be together for a variety of reasons, and with danger lurking right behind the corner, the stakes are getting higher with every chapter. The book will is out December 5th, and if you want to know more, here’s the blurb and an excerpt 🙂 There’s also a pinterest with some inspiration for the book: http://www.pinterest.com/KAMerikan/sex-mayhem-2/

The Devil’s Ride

(Sex & Mayhem 02)
by

K.A. Merikan

— You don’t fuck with the club president’s son. —

Tooth. Vice President of the Coffin Nails Motorcycle Club. On a neverending quest for vengeance. The last thing he needs is becoming a permanent babysitter for a male hooker.

Lucifer. Fallen. Lost. Alone.

After a childhood filled with neglect and abuse, followed by his mother’s suicide, Lucifer set out into the world alone. There was nothing for him out there other than taking it one day at a time. As the bastard son of the Coffin Nails club president, Lucifer never got much fatherly love. So when the Nails show up at the strip joint Lucifer works in, the last thing he expects is to be put in the custody of Tooth, the Nails Vice President famous for his gruesome interrogation techniques. The man proves to be the sexiest beast Lucifer has ever met. He’s also older, straight, and an itch Luci can’t ever scratch.

Tooth’s life came to a halt twelve years ago. His lover got brutally murdered, police never found the perpetrators, and all leads were dead ends. To find peace and his own justice, Tooth joined the Coffin Nails, but years on, he’s gotten nowhere with the case, yet still lives on with the burning fire for revenge.

Babysitting a deeply scarred teenager with a talent for disappearing is the last thing on his bucket list. He promised himself to never get attached to someone like him again. To make sure the openly gay boy is safe in the clubhouse, Tooth is stuck keeping an eye on him. The big, blue, attention seeking gaze is drawing Tooth in, but fucking the president’s son is a complete no-go, even when both their feelings go beyond lust.

What Tooth doesn’t know is that Lucifer might hold the key to the closure Tooth so desperately needs.

Forced to hide his new love affair from the whole world, Stitch juggles family, club life, and crime, but it‘s only a matter of time until it becomes too hard.

Zak moves to Lake Valley in search of peace and quiet, but when he puts his hand into the jaws of a Hound of Valhalla, life gets all but simple.

As heated as the relationship is, the secrets, the hiding, the violence, jealousy, and conservative attitudes in the town rub Zak in all the wrong ways.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: This book gave me mixed feelings. I think instead of my usual writing, I’ll list everything off and explain what I mean by mixed feelings.

– The story is gritty, it’s stated in the book below the blurb. I don’t mind gritty, I like the tension, but occasionally I found it difficult to keep my attention on the book. In the same way, I was halfway through the book when I realized that I wasn’t absorbed in it, yet I found it hard to not want to know what happens.

– This is a biker gang story, I know it appeals to some because of the fantasy of hot men, but this is more like a biker gang war TV shows (Australians will probably understand this reference because I’m think of the various Australian gangland war series), or even a Sons of Anarchy type thing. Except without the drugs and alcohol.

– Stitch, the deeply closeted character, is really not likable to me. I found trouble liking him at all. I can’t put a finger on exactly why. Maybe because it is a more realistic look at a biker gang I don’t like what Stitch does. He also has a borderline abusive temper that seems to explode at the least provocation.

– Zak, on the other hand, the not so closeted tattoo artist, is great. I really do like him. He’s a normal type of guy, just trying to run his business, which just happens to be in the middle of biker territory. He’s probably the most sensible character in the book.

– The ending was good. Also stated in the book after the blurb, there is no cliffhanger, yet at the same time, I don’t really felt quite complete by it.

I’ve tried to be unbiased here when I’ve described these points because I realize that this type of story is exactly what some people want to read. However, as I said, I liked the book and I really did want to know what happened at the end. It was probably the circumstances that surround Stitch more than anything else that bothered me and I found myself thinking that Zak really just needed to bail.
