About this listen

Alizay—My life is complicated enough without the big biker mercenary I’m tasked with helping to rehabilitate. He’s not a fan of physical therapy and I’m not a fan of the way I react to his body. Nothing in my life could have prepared me for the man called Blood. He’s crass, stubborn, and so sexy it actually hurts. If I’m going to resist him I’ve got to be strong. I’m just not sure any woman is strong enough to ignore him when he decides he doesn’t want to be ignored.

Blood—I’m the one who cleans up the messes made by others. Then she comes along and suddenly I’m the mess. She thinks she’s leaving when she’s done with me, but I’ve got other plans for little Alizay. She’s going to be mine whether she wants to or not. Her past may stand in our way, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.

With Christmas on the way and me dragging out my recovery in order to get some quality time with my sexy therapist, my club and my team decide to bring Christmas to me. Bones, Salvation’s Bane, and the Shadow Demons. All under one roof. What could possibly go wrong?

WARNING: Explicit violence which could be a trigger for some listeners. Explicit sex that might offend some listeners. As always, you can expect a HEA with no cheating.

Blood

I love the MC series. Marteeka Karland is amazing. I love Umi Markkanen voice, she really makes the story come alive. Blood and Ali are perfect match.

Wills collide

Blood and Alizay need each other...Blood to direct his energy and protectiveness on and Alizay for someone to trust and to learn how to live after her imprisonment,

Again, I listen because of Umi voice and because Marteeka has tapped into Bikers that we are not privy too.

LOVE YOU MARTEEKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bit different

from the usual but not really. I liked that the FMC was taking care of the MMC and while she did have the crazy background she was more on the healing side of things. This was a fun one and nice to see familiar faces from other MCS. Narration was done well as usual.

Falling for his physical therapist.

I love crabby old sexy guys! Blood and his physical therapist. Lots of action in this short read/listen. I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator, Umi Markkanen is just the best! She brings these characters alive. Even her male voice is good and believable. 5 stars for her as well.

Blood and Alizay

This story is a slightly different take on the common theme I find in MC books. Usually, the guy is rescuing the girl from something or someone. In this story, there is no rescue. Blood is injured and needs physical therapy. He is a typical guy who is grumpy, and refuses help. Alizay works on Blood. One thing leads to another, and the romance develops. The story is well written. The narration is well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Set around the holidays for added fun...

This is much like Karland’s other MC reads—fun, quick, and a little dirty. I do enjoy them—even though, she seems to write all her heroes exactly the same as far as personality and manner of speaking. I can’t say I’d hate it if she’d build in some character development, however, these are FAST reads, and the men are dreamy. There’s nothing wrong here.

This one was a smidge different from the others as far as the premise—the danger happens off the bat and we’ve got a wounded /recovering hero for the rest of it. Fun, all around.

Packs:

Danger.
MC / club life.
Instalove.
Age gap.
Nurse/physical therapist heroine / her patient / hero.
Mentions of beedeesem (sorry for the cens0rship).
Sp4nking.
Lots of familiar ‘faces’.
Crosses over with Karland’s other MCs.
Tr4fficking.
Holiday vibes.

Overall:
Another fun read. 4 stars.


*Note: I’m not sure the continuity was perfect. She was said to be 20 and already a nurse and PT ? But still, a fun read. A slight aging up could easily fix this.


🎧 Audio:
Absolutely perfect audio. One narrator who manages to make all of the books in this world sound full-cast, plus flawless overall sound. ALL the stars.

No Exchange Rate Needed

Alizay "Ali" is awesome. Her background is absolutely abhorrent, but I love how she works hard to better her situation. Even more, she does a good job of standing up for herself. Especially when it comes to Blood.

Once he learns about her past, I love how Blood doesn't shy from his desires, but takes steps to be cognizant of her boundaries, some unvoiced. He pushes her here and there, but not in a negative, detrimental manner.

The crossover with Bones, ExFil, Black Reign, Shadow Demons, and Argent Tech characters (some of which may not have a series or books) is fantastic. I love it! Seeing everyone interact is magnificent for a Christmas themed story, and how they all welcome Ali is awesome.

There is an inconsistency about her v-card status. I suspect that the intent was to convey that she was a v when it came to intimacy by choice. Having been around many young victims of sexual assault, I know that was how they saw themselves, and I would agree.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. She does a great job with the all of the characters.

Good

I really enjoy this series. I am glad Blood got to find his old lady. Even though he was mean to her as a nurse. he finally had won her oven

Sweet and fast-paced

This is the fifth novella in the Salvation's Bane MC Series. I like this series. Blood and Alizay's story is fast-paced, sweet and passsionate. I liked to see the characters from the first books in the series. Umi Markkanen did a great job bringing this story to life. #StoryOrigin
