Sebastian: Thunder Valley MC Book 3 by Susan Lower | A Review

Hi Readers!!!!

Welcome to Quills and Pages. Today I will be reviewing Sebastian by Susan Lower. This book is the third in the Thunder Valley MC series. As the name suggests it's Romantic Suspense and there are motorcycle clubs. And it's a closed-door romance. For all those girlies who enjoy closed-door romances, this one is for you.

Also Thank you to Susan Lower (Instagram) and Fatima her PA (Instagram) for providing me with the review copy (arc).

BLURB

Haunted by a past mistake, an undercover cop risks everything to protect the family he left behind.

Once a decorated cop, Sebastian’s now a fugitive with a bounty on his head. Haunted by a failed undercover operation, he swore off motorcycle clubs and women.

Caitlyn thought she had escaped the clutches of her abusive ex, but when he resurfaced with threats to take her son, she became trapped and desperate.

Sebastian risks exposing his true identity, jeopardizing his family's safety to return to his hometown and pay an old debt.

When the web of deceit tightens, Caitlyn must make a heart-wrenching choice. Can she trust the enigmatic biker to help protect her son, or will the truth tear them apart?

MY REVIEW
The story revolves around Caitlyn and Sebastian. Caitlyn is a single mom struggling between her job, caring for her sons, and her problematic father. On top of that, her ex showed up and she is now struggling with steering clear of him because he is trouble and not of the good kind. Sebastian is an ex-cop hiding to get away from his mysterious and dark past. He has returned to his hometown to keep an eye on his family but he is doing it while in hiding and under a different name. I love Romantic Suspense with biker clubs in the mix. I read this kind of story after a long time and it is a breath of fresh air.

To all those people who love good old closed-door Christian romances, this book is a must-read. it has a gripping plot. I was most intrigued by the story of Sebastian. I wanted to know what exactly in the past. What happened to that girl he was trying to protect. I don't want to spoil but it's a really good plot. It's the third book in the series but you can read it as a stand-alone. There were moments when I didn't know what was happening because I hadn't read the other books. It's all set in the same world and some things are connected. To understand them better read the other ones too but if you don't want then that's okay too. On the whole, the book is really good. Highly recommend.

What's Up, Readers!! Welcome to Quills and Pages. I just finished On Wings of Blood arc....and now I am here to write the review. the book is written by Briar Boleyn and Thank you to Netgally and the author for this arc. iSo, let's start the review BLURB I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. I'm Medra Pendragon—last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like h...

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives?

However, Kennedy masterfully introduces a twist; King Midas, rather than possessing the golden touch, is revealed to be a fraud, capitalizing on the real power held by this beautiful character Auren. Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...
