Publisher's summary

Rusty

I’m the president of the Devil Kings Atlanta MC. With a fractious club to rebuild and a revolving door on my bedroom, the last thing I need is 5’4” of sex-on-a-stick trouble.

When a mysterious beauty shows up with her playmate’s body, dark soulful eyes, and a bagful of cash, I’m willing to make an exception.

I don’t fully trust her, but she needs my help.

Ashlynn

Things are finally good. I’m one of the best high-roller hostesses on the strip. But I’ve lived in Las Vegas two years and have yet to unpack my bags. Why? Because shit always goes sideways.

I should have known this time would be no different.

When I’m asked to hostess a private poker game at a mega exclusive hotel penthouse, I end up in the proverbial wrong place at the wrong time.

I’m the sole witness to a double murder and I’m suddenly on the run again, but this time I’m running for my life.

I get as far as Atlanta before my Porsche blows a tire.

That’s when he shows up. Dangerous. Drop-dead gorgeous. Scary badass biker. One I can’t take my eyes off. Maybe this town is as good as any to lay low.

When trouble tracks me down, I want to run again. But he has other plans.

He’ll protect me — for a price.

My willing body in his big bed — all night, every night.

That’s the dirty deal he offers.

Dare I accept?

Where the President of the Devil Kings is involved, there are no rules.

But I’ll stand toe-to-toe with him and make it out of this bargain with my heart intact. Because in the end, running is what I do best.

Great Story

This story is really enjoyable. It flows along nicely and has a nice focus on the couple with a cool side of the MC thrown in.

AMAZING

This is definitely a MUST READ! I loved this book! This author is freaking fantastic!!

A VERY ENTERTAINING LISTEN

An addictive story as the heroine suddenly gets thrust into a nightmare when she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses something she shouldn’t of seen. So, with Mafia men hot on her trail, Ashlynn is forced to run. And, when her flash ride eventually gets a flat, she’ll end up getting more than ‘curb assistance’ from the handsome sexy biker the second time they meet. Because this sex-on-a-stick leather clad sinner will become her lifeline.. her lover.. her savior. Rusty is the President of the Devil Kings MC and, when he bumps into the beauty with the flat tire again.. and now she’s buying a gun, he is going to do all he can to get his body closer to hers. There’s delicious sizzles and passion between them.. however, Ashlynn has secrets.. and those secrets will bring chaos to his, and the Club’s, doors. But what’s a possessive alpha biker going to do when someone dares to threaten his woman? This was a sexy ride as feisty Ashlynn tries to keep Rusty from getting involved.. and it leads to a very enjoyable story with tingles, tension, danger and great characters. The dual POV storyline was wonderfully brought to life by Ryan and Virginia and the duet-style narration made the plot flow smoothly with friction, fireworks and feels. WORTH A CREDIT? Yes, it ticked my boxes.. and now I’m looking forward to Gypsy’s story next.

Good so far

Good narration, pretty good story. These are lightweight compared to a lot of others out there but damn, with a cover like this and good narration, I had to keep going. I hope the rest keep getting better!

Rusty & Ashlynn

What a great book. I liked the first book but this one had more excitement especially since it involved the mob. You also get to enjoy Reno and Kara again. I loved the duet narration style. Both narrators did a wonderful job and made those sexy times hot. Rusty is the president of the mc who felt a connection with Ashlynn from the beginning. He is so intrigued with her and wants to protect her but she doesn't tell him the full truth of what she's running from for a while into the book. Ashlynn witnesses a murder of two people while working in Vegas. She runs until she has car trouble just outside of Atlanta. This is were she meets Rusty and things go from there. I recommend listening to this story and hopefully Gypsy's book will be on audible quickly.

Total enjoyment!

These Devil Kings MC men are delicious! After book one, I was intrigued and couldn't wait to hear Rusty's story. Taking over the club as president has been a smooth transition. Little distraction has made Rusty a good leader. Passing a woman in distress is not something he will do, so when he sees Ashylynn on the side of the road with a flat tire, he stops to help. What better distraction than a woman that is hiding after witnessing a double murder? These two are destined for each other. Ashlynn is quite a woman. Smart, beautiful and what a car! She keeps Rusty on his toes. Rusty, the alpha protector is the kind of man we all love. He won't let any harm come to his woman. But when trouble hits, will he be able to keep her and the club safe? This is a suspenseful, exciting listen with wonderful characters. I really enjoyed this, not knowing who to trust, who to call, when things would come to a head, thrilling excitement, Add that to the combustible chemistry and hot passion between Rusty and Ash and the story is exactly what I love.

Ryan West and Virginia Rose narrate this gem with finesse. West is perfect as the alpha, Rusty. He has a raspy tone that both heats my ears and commands respect. Rose comes in as the feisty Ashlynn, giving her attitude and vulnerability. Together they are fantastic and made for a wonderful listen!

THE AWESOME LOVE STORY 💖

IT WAS VERY EXCITING AUDIOBOOK ! I ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY ! WOULD LOVE TO LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE SERIES

Sizzling Biker Romance Superb Dual Narration Work

After witnessing a member of the mafia kill a couple people, she jumps in her Porsche and hightails it from Vegas until a flat tire brings her to the notice of a ruggedly, handsome MC Prez who is determined to puzzle out her secrets. A sizzling hot attraction, a cross between a biker romance and suspense, and engaging characters in a book told by dual narrators was a temptation I wasn't about to miss.

Dirty Deals is the second in the Devil Kings MC series which I believe share the same world as the Evil Dead MC series. I jumped in without book one and had no trouble though the events of the past and most of the characters are all part of the earlier book.

Dirty Deals opens in the glitzy and glamorous world of high rollers and luxury accommodations for those who can afford it and Ashlynn is the one to make sure her clients get the full satisfactory experience while spending money at the hotel. Everything is going great until the night she sees two murders committed when in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her escape is seen by the killers who are associated with the mafia and she just has time to toss her ever-ready Go bag into the back of her fabulous yellow Porsche and take to the road in an adrenaline rush across the country. Her run comes to a halt just outside Atlanta when her tire goes flat. To her rescue comes a wickedly attractive guy sporting a biker club vest and a patch that shows he's the Prez of what she sees as a gang. With a tire iron to keep things from going sideways, she watches him give her tire a temporary fix and she thinks that is that until Rusty turns up and won't be put off. Not that she wants to see the back of him. In fact, it isn't long when she wants a man bad enough to considering staying. Eventually, her past will catch up and keeping Rusty won't be an option.

Rusty is dazzled by the classy, sassy gal who is running scared, but full of moxy. When she purchases a gun and keeps her bagged packed while always looking scared of something coming for her, he's no fool. He's seen a lot of trouble and some of it bad enough to need a gun for, but he's willing to take on Ashlynn's problems if she would just trust him. Meanwhile, he entices her with sexy nights in her bed, work at his custom motorcycle shop, and friends with his motorcycle club family. He wants her to care enough to trust him and unpack that bag, but when the trouble starts up, she gets that hunted look and he has to do everything he can to keep her safe.

Dirty Deals has some darker deeds in it with killing and hunting down a witness and including a motorcycle club recovering from a violent shake up, but for all that, I felt the tone was fairly light. It paced along swiftly and steadily. It got hot and spicy quickly once the romance pair had their first encounter, but it didn't stretch credibility too far since they are a little older and both have a take charge 'know-what-I-want' attitude. The build up to the romance conflict and the suspenseful climax was great and that ending was swoonworthy.

Ashlynn is an uber competent high-class hotel guest associate. She looks the part and is at the top of her game so that owning her 'baby', the yellow Porsche and a bank full of funds is normal. Whereas Rusty comes across as laid back and country in ways, but he is much more as the owner of a successful custom bike business and now president of an MC chapter with good leadership skills and able to keep his head while in danger. They seemed to different, but that sizzling attraction and Ashlynn's satisfaction with working in the shop office gave prove to a possibility.

My only issue was two-part. There were hints about Ashlynn and Dusty's backgrounds, but they remained mostly vague and undeveloped. I didn't get to know them as thoroughly as I would have liked. Just like, I was fine with them as characters and even liked their romance, but at the same time, it happened swiftly and there didn't seen enough in common to hold them together long term. I wanted more connections for them, I guess.

As to the narration, I was startled by how the two narrators worked together instead of taking turns with the chapters. Ryan West voiced all the male speakers and Dusty's point of view and Virginia Rose did the same for Ashlynn and the other female voices. Once I was adjusted to this style of narration, I was right back in the story and loving both their contributions. I've already enjoyed Ryan West's work before, but this was my first encounter with Virginia Rose. They nailed the voices so I was certain who was speaking, they had good emotional range and caught the tone of the book well, and their overall storytelling was fabulous.

All in all, I enjoyed this easy and quick book with sizzling romance, suspenseful action moments, and colorful backdrop. I was hooked by the tantalizing hints leading into the next book. And, I definitely want to experience more of the series on audio. Those who enjoy lighter biker and extra spicy romance should definitely pick this book/series up.

My Favorite MC Series!

This is the second book in the Devil Kings MC Series. This is definitely my favorite MC Series. Rusty and Ashlynn are great characters. Rusty is the president of the Devil Kings Atlanta MC. He is sexy, alpha, handsome, caring, and protective. Ashlynn is beautiful, strong, and smart. They are opposites attract, and they share an instant attraction, and a sizzling chemistry. They are perfect together. The story is fast paced, and suspenseful. The supporting characters are great. I loved to see again Reno and Kara. The Devil Kings MC men are handsome. Ryan West and Virginia Rose did an outstanding job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Dirty Desires, Gypsy’s story, the next book in the Series. If you like MC Romance, this Series is for you. #CaffeinatedPR #TheAudioFlow
