Soulless Bastards MC So Cal Chapter Boxset by Erin Trejo

I found a new-to-me author and I'm determined to read all of her books!

-- I love books told from the hero's perspective --

So here's the breakdown of what I thought for each book:

Smokey - at first glance, this VP was a mean, twisted son of a something. After having his family taken from him, he was determined to exact his own brand of revenge. Step one: kidnap the woman. Step two: break her. Step three: throw her back. You know what they say about the best laid plans, right? The more he tortured her, the deeper he was getting, the more she enjoyed it, and then finally feelings... those blasted emotions... started getting involved. Utter chaos ensues and he does get a chance at a life with Bray and it was an entertaining ride. I loved that Smokey was just as twisted in the end as he was in the beginning.

Draven - he was just as twisted as his brother, Smokey. He liked getting his hands dirty and had a suspicious nature that saved the club more times than he could count. They've found that a rat has infiltrated the ranks and Draven believes it may have a lot to do with the new girl, Lia. She's feisty and stubborn, traits that Draven can't get enough of, and he decides that he's going to get answers from her, whether she's willing to give them up or not. The rat was obvious but I didn't expect the depth I found with these characters.

Ruger - I think he was the dirtiest of the bunch. He was outrageous and had no shame. If a man didn't give him answers willingly, he would take the fight right out of them with a bit of 'fun'. I was honestly surprised by what he did despite reading hints in the previous books, but it only made him more callous in my mind. This man just didn't care! Anyhoo, his sister has been taken by a slave ring and he's desperate to get her back. His Prez brings in a girl who lived through the horrors his sister is facing and she wants to help, whether he wants her help or not. Kira was fragile and broken but she had a grit to her that wouldn't allow her to give up. She wanted to take down the bad guys and she wasn't going to let a bit of damage hold her back. It was easy to admire her for that and Ruger couldn't deny his attraction. Their story was the nastiest and made for such amusing entertainment.

Crow - his story happened to be my favorite, although it was the saddest. Crow was haunted by his past and the blame he placed on himself for events he had no control over. He lived with a huge loss and the certainty that he would kill himself one day to be at peace. One day, when he was at his lowest, gun nearby and a steady hand, he found a girl whose pain mirrored his own. They shared a connection and Lyric became the bright spot in what Crow viewed as a bleak life. He fell in love with her (and she him) and he did everything he could to heal her, to piece together her broken pieces, to make her see how beautiful she was. This was a heartbreaking read and I found myself enjoying the downward spiral.

I'm always up for a raw and gritty MC romance and Erin Trejo delivered! These heroes were ruthless, cunning, and dark. These plots were unique from each other but shared a common thread - family. And these stories satisfied the twisted cravings I was having.

-- About the Book --

Book 1: (Smokey) When they took the only things I cared about, I vowed to seek revenge. When I took Bray, I thought that would be the end of what I was feeling. I was wrong. When it's time to send her back, broken, I find myself torn. What's right? What's wrong?

Book 2:(Draven) I knew there was a rat in our club. The obvious choice was the new girl. So I do what I do. I made it hard for her to live in my presence. I forced her until she broke. When her past comes out, I find myself on edge. She wasn't what I expected but she is what I want. Even though I have to let her go.

Book 3:(Ruger) They all know I'm sick in the head. Or maybe this is just me. When my sister is taken, I will do anything and I do mean anything to get her back. My Prez thinks he's helping when he tosses a woman into the mix. So what she lived a past that resembles my sister's future? She's never dealt with a man like me. Not that it matters. She tests my patience but when she falls into the hands of the enemy? I will whatever I have to make sure I save them both.

Book 4:(Crow) I was lost in a world that I never wanted to be in. I was tired and at the end of my rope. When I met Lyric, we were both at our lowest. She gave me the love I needed and I gave her the love she deserved. We found comfort in each other but that isn't enough. I know where I belong and it isn't on this earth. Now I just have to make the choice. Stay with her? Or go on my way?

-- About Erin Trejo --

I am a wife, mother, child chauffeur and author. I love being able to create different characters and spin a web that makes them come together in the end. My books do not stick to just one genre, they span many.

I write about things that are real life situations and fairy tales are not always smooth sailing. My MC books are hard and gritty and they have struggles just like you would in life.

I also have books that are not so in your face. There are several that are good love stories that are fraught with issues that the characters have to deal with. Dark books? If that's your thing, I have those as well. I like to add a little darkness with a twist.

As you will learn with me not all of my books will have an HEA but you will always have some kind of resolution. Come on, I have to throw some curve-balls into the mix or I wouldn't be me! :)
