About this listen
Mariana -- If it weren’t for bad luck…
Yeah. That’s me. I found myself stranded on the side of the road after my boyfriend threw me out. My mother, bless her heart, thinks I’m dragging her to the pits of hell because I got myself knocked up. All of which I could deal with. What nearly put me in a panic was the big, muscle-bound, tattooed biker who pulled up behind me, ordering me to “pop the hood.” I was scared, but, God, the man was smoking hot! Had I not been hot, tired, and pregnant, I might have gotten on my knees and begged him to take me. Instead, I kept that part of myself tightly under control. Sort of.
Thorn -- Ana isn’t like anyone I’ve ever come across.
If there’s a woman in this world who needs pampering, it’s her. She’s half starved, on the verge of heat stroke, and I steamrolled my way into her life. But I wasn’t prepared for the call I got from the hospital or the sight of her broken body. I’m all about vengeance, and someone is going to pay for this. Dearly. And my little Ana is going to have to learn to take on a man like me. Because somewhere around the very first time I saw her, I might have gone and fallen in love with her.
WARNING (Spoiler Alert): Traumatic pregnancy loss and explicit violence which could be triggers for some listeners. As always, you can expect a HEA with no cheating.

Story
I wasn't ready to be president of an MC like Iron Tzars, but my father left me little choice. I grew up in the club. At 29, most of the men still see me as no more than a kid. But my daddy taught me well. I tolerate no disloyalty or disrespect and always put the club first. Then I met Iris. She's a heap of trouble in a small package and she pings my radar from the moment I first lay eyes on her. I know she's going to be mine—which means she has to trust me to take care of her. But Iris trusts no one when it comes to her sister. With both of them in danger, I now have to make a decision.

Lucrecia: All I have in the world is my sister Mae. We were adrift, on our own until a guy from Black Reign, one of Lake Worth’s most infamous MCs, spotted us and took us in. Rycks isn’t cruel, but he’s hard on us. We have to earn our keep, but then everyone does. Me? I dance for the club. I get a secret thrill from it -- until Mae is kidnapped by enemies of Black Reign, and Rycks sends me to Palm Beach -- straight into the hands of Salvation’s Bane.

Meiling -- All I’ve ever known is pain. My life has been far from a fairy tale. No parents. No friends. Just an endless nightmare that I can’t wake from. Until the day a man offered me his hand and promised to keep me safe. I’ve never trusted anyone before, but there’s something about him. Maybe it’s insane, but I know he won’t hurt me, and when he puts his arms around me, for the first time in my life I feel loved.

I’m the youngest grad student at MIT, and to say other students resent me for it is an understatement. To top it all off, I miss my Stunner. He’s been with me through the darkest moments of my life, helping me pull myself back together. He’s seen me at my worst—I want him to see me at my best. If he’d just return my calls, I might be able to get myself around the mean girls (and boys) at school.

Angel: I’m a teacher. Or rather, I want to be. Fresh out of college, I went on a date with the wrong man and ended up drugged and helpless in a really bad place. The motorcycle club I was taken to was no place for a woman, as I found out the hard way. They thought I was helpless, but I managed to get away - only to stumble onto three kids who need me as a teacher. The problem? They’re with another club. I can’t leave them until I’m convinced they're safe. Unfortunately, the club president doesn’t like me much. He’s also the hottest man I’ve ever come across.

Assassin Casper Van Horne, Picasso of wet work and pain in my ass, has asked my club to take in two Colombian princesses. Well, he didn’t use the term princesses, but I have no doubt they’ll be spoiled little bitches. The first time I see Luciana and her sister, I think I’ve got them pegged just right -- until I look in Luciana’s eyes and see the fear she’s trying to hide. Something isn’t right. I know it deep in my gut. I never once thought a woman nearly forty years younger than me could ever captivate me, but the more I get to know her, the more Luciana holds me spellbound.

Serious relationships? Not my usual ride. As the Prez of the Steel Demons MC, my life has always been all about the thrill of the chase. But lately, those club bunny flings ain't cutting it. Deep down, I crave something more real, something with meaning. Then, outta nowhere, my past roars back. A night from five years ago, a hazy memory, and in a flash—a son I never knew about. This is how Ellie comes into my life, the game-changer. Her sister's vanished, and she's been raising my kid all by herself. The moment I lock eyes with Ellie, I'm hooked.

Greed. Power. Sin. It all comes with the gavel. Blurs the lines between church and state. But the Knightdale Charter of the Satan's Knights MC is my life. And I'd do anything for this club. Like letting the best woman I ever had slip through my fingertips. A sinfully beautiful spitfire, she's my better half in every way. My twin flame. My everything. My biggest regret. But there's no making things right between us.

You know when you see that big red flag, and you think to yourself, I should probably not go anywhere near there? Yeah, Quincy Carter ignored that big red flag. He walked right up to that red flag, waving blatantly in the wind, and kissed the holy hell out of her. Sure, he probably should've arrested her for breaking a restraining order. He probably also should've stopped her from continuing to break that restraining order. Yet he can't.

Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

The whole MC is out to protect.
A heartwrenching MC Romance. Heed the triggers. Thorn is the MCs prez. He happens upon Mariana who is in distress. Twists. Turns. Tragedy. And whew...HEA.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator, Umi Markkanen is truly the best. She has such a sweet, kind voice for the female characters, and her male voices are very believable. 5 stars for her as well.

Thorn
Mariana's story was very heartbreaking. Thorn was very determined. Marteeka Karland is amazing with the these books. I absolutely love Umi Markkanen voice.

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Thorn and Ana
Genre- MC Romance
Length- 4 hours and 15 minutes
Heat- They do all the things and name the parts, using explicit language.
Series? Y
Safety? Y
Triggers- Explicit Sex, Graphic Violence (involving bodily fluids and other squishy substances), Language, Traumatic Pregnancy Loss. This is not an easy book to read, but there’s no cheating or S.A.
Tropes- Damsel in Distress, Instalove, Found Family, Ebil Ex, Parental Estrangement, I Know an Ol’ Lady
Mewsings
What I liked- the romance was swoon worthy. And their sex life was adventurous. The main characters were likable and the bad guy and the awful mother were easy to hate.
What I didn’t- The bikers from the other club weren’t really part of the plot. I guess they showed up to be name checked or something. I don’t know.
What I thought about the narration- I’ve gone on about how much I enjoy this narrator before. All I will say here is that Umi was excellent.
I received an advance review copy for free and this is my voluntary review.

Fast-paced and entertaining
This is the third novella in the Salvation's Bane MC Series. Thorn and Mariana's story is fast-paced, entertaining, and passionate, filled with drama, and twists and turns. Mariana's story is heartbreaking. I liked Thorn determination. Umi Markkanen did a great job bringing this story to life. #StoryOrigin

Great book
Great audiobook. Good storyline with drama and some humor. Has some sad parts that nagged at me. World building was done well. I liked the characters and they were done well and I enjoy see characters from book to book in series. I received this with promo credit and this is honest review

Loved this one!
I read book 1 in this series, and missed book 2, but jumping to book 3 didn't make me feel lost. Instantly I was hooked due to a lovable female lead in a precarious situation and the biker who seemed to be falling for her off the bat. Throw in an ex I loved to hate, a toxic parent, the MC prez and … well you’ve got a whole lot of fun!
And this hits a ton of tropes, especially for such a quick read:
Fun meetcute.
Chivalrous biker.
MC club.
Toxic parents.
Toxic babydaddy.
Small town vibes.
“Touch her and d!3” /protective hero.
Vi0lence.
M!scarr!age.
Semi-inexperienced female lead with very experienced male lead.
Medium burn.
Band of brothers.
Hunt for vengeance.
A fun, quick read, that left me wanting more from this club.
4 stars.
🎧 Audio:
This narrator is fantastic! And excellent overall sound quality.

Great continuation
I really enjoyed this installment. I loved getting to know Thorn more and his link to the Bones MC. It's a nice quick listen but a full and complete story with great narration.

Finding a way.
This was a quick listen and a great story. Check your trigger warnings if you need to as somethings maybe harder for some to listen/read. Thorn is the President of the MC and when he met Mariana he was intrigued. Mariana was cautious of Thorn but she was in desperate need of help even if she wasn't really sure how to accept help from a stranger. These two are perfectly matched and it was an interesting twist with her ex. I'm glad that Mariana found someone to help her assert herself and become the best her she could be.

Dirty, Fierce Protector
I have been loving this series and this is a terrific addition. The combination of dark and erotic is well blended and kept me wanting more. In fact, I really, really need more of these two.
Mariana "Ana" Everly has some horrible luck with both her parentage and choice in men. I just wanted to take her in my arms and show her a better option in the mom department. Colin "Thorn" McGregor beat me to it taking on the other area.
I do love them together. They are adventurous beyond measure, which I find hot and awesome. Their couplings are rough and hard, and yet there's so much heart and tenderness. Absolutely 💜!
As for one abuser in her life, Jason Harrison, he is despicable. Him getting his due is bittersweet. What he does to her may be triggering, so please pay attention to the author's notes.
The other, Adelaide Everly, also known as her mother, gets some comeuppance. Honestly, I love how those around Ana rally during it all.
There is a secret that starts to unravel. Aunt Josephine has a secret identity. It's nice to see a little behind that curtain. I won't give any more on that. 🤫🤐
I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. She's a one-woman show who does a really good job.
Story: 5 stars
Narration: 4 stars
Listening Speed: 1.7x
