Senna I’ve loved him as long as I can remember. He’s older, wiser and sexier than any man I’ve ever seen.His road name’s Viper and he’s the enforcer for the Ace of Spades MC, my father’s club. To me he is just Luca; Luca Warren.He has protected me since I was born. Refuses to acknowledge the feelings he has for me or mine for him. He does everything he can to push me away until my life is … push me away until my life is threatened and he’s tasked with keeping me safe.
Tempers flare and sparks fly when Luca and I are sent into hiding.
Viper
I am a dangerous man who’s club uses me to enforce more than the rules. My hands are dirty and my soul is black. I have a devil that whispers in my ear as a demon kisses my neck.
For years I have beaten and fucked my way up the ranks to where I stand now. Let me tell you, I’ve fought battles that have nothing on the wars I have shed blood in on the streets.
So falling in love with the daughter of the club’s president; the club I’m bound to is a no go.
But I’ve loved Senna since the day I first laid eyes on her.
We are fucked now.
Stuck in a confined space where her teasing soul sends us both on a one-way ticket to hell. Letting her go isn’t an option, but loving her is not safe for either of us.
This is for readers 18 years and older. This book contains mature situations and violence.
This is book 1 of the series

Wow, wow, wow. This pair of dynamic authors have produced this incredible story. So many feels and passion have gone into creating this and what a page-turner it is. I cannot wait to see what the second one has in store.
I loved this book. The characters had great chemistry. This author amazes me each time with her writing that pulls me into the story and does not let me go until the end.
I love me a bit of MC, and Aleisha & Kristine delivered the goods with this one!
The love between Luca and Sienna is undeniable and pulls them together even when they both know it’s crossing a club line that should never be crossed.
Their story is a little dark, bloodied and raw, but it has you rooting for them as Viper (Luca) struggles against the demons that threaten to consume him.
The cliffhanger ending sets up book 2 nicely, leaving heaps of anticipation over what’s still to come while giving enough closure to keep me satisfied.
And bring it on because I can’t WAIT for Secrets and Sins!
4 Stars
The Beautiful and the Damned is the first book in the Ace of Spades MC Series by Aleisha Maree and M. Kristine. This is a multifaceted story full of emotion, violence, shocking scenes, danger, action, adventure, shoot outs, explosions, suspense, biker wars, secrets, angst, forbidden love, chemistry, intensity, tension, alpha males, bad boys, dodgy dealings, rivalry, and lots more. This is not a light, fluffy read- it’s a raw and gritty story that will pluck at your heartstrings…. and the sexy scenes are HOT!
We meet Viper (Luca) and Senna ( as well as the rest of the cast)- they are such great characters- really well developed with complex personalities, quirks, and flaws. This makes the whole story very realistic and believable.
The story is told from a first person, duel perspective- which really gives the reader an immersive experience. The story gives some past perspectives as well- which builds the backstory and lets us get to know the character’s even better.
The story is very detailed and descriptive- building vivid images that sets the stage and brings the story to life. From the characters appearances, to the ‘visual’ tour of the clubhouse, origins of the club, road trips, landmarks, views, interactions, action, violence, ‘business, sexy scenes, and emotive elements- the attention to detail was first rate.
I can’t wait to continue the series and discover more from these interesting characters.
Thank you, Aleisha Maree and M. Kristine!
Luca aka “Viper” is the enforcer for the Ace of Spades, and the son of the VP. Senna and her twin sister Saylor as the club princess’ and the daughters of the president, and therefore off limits. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, yet Viper is haunted by demons, and at the same time wants to respect his President. This is a beautifully written flawless story which had me totally captivated throughout this additive page turner and I cannot wait to read more from this talented duo of authors, and after that ending, hope it is not a long wait for #2. I highly recommend this for all MC lovers.
If you are in the mood for a rough, tough gritty 1%er Motorcycle Club, this is the book for you.
Aleisha Maree has always produced true to life characters and MC books are no exception. A reader has to wonder how she does her research and what she is connected to in real life.
M. Kristine is a new to me writer, but she and Aleisha seem to have a camaraderie that translates into a great writing team.
I loved that this book starts with Luca being ten years old and seeing newly born Senna for the first time. He is enthralled, and that rapture never seems to leave as they both grow older. Senna’s mom had told him that it was his job to always take care of Senna, and he never strayed from that course.
This book starts out so carefree and romantic, even though both of their parents are founding members and Prez and VP of this very territorial motor cycle gang. As time goes on both become entrenched in the club, she and her twin sister Saylor are the untouchable Princesses of the Prez, and Luca, now known as Viper is the Club’s Enforcer, son of the VP and one day expected to be Prez. It is a hard, mean, hate filled stressful job, and it is one that Viper has latched onto and fills the roll very well.
This book grabs on to you, it wont let you put it down. The activities of the club are exciting, eventful, graphic, heartwrenching and so much what an MC goes through on a daily basis. Luca is the golden boy, but yet still must follow the rules of the club and may not touch the Angel that is his forever love. This story will take you the ins and outs, twists and turns and hopefully Happily Ever Afters. The characters are great and i cant wait to see what happens in some of the side characters lives. Well done Ladies, I am anxiously awaiting the next in this series.
Both authors were new to me so was an interesting experience reading the different styles.
Was personally hard to get into until the end. If they keep it up like they finished I think it will be a brilliant series
Wow! What a beginning to a series… Luca and Senna’s story is anything but an easy one and it will hold your attention from the first page until the last last… these characters are so well written, I know I should say more about the characters and the story but I honestly believe it’s one of those stories you have to experience for yourself, and I highly recommend you do…. I can’t wait for the next installment in this series… but be warned, it does end of a cliffhanger…
The Beautiful & The Damned by Aleisha Maree and M. Kristine was such an inthralling read. I got so lost in the moment with this book, I’m already dying inside waiting for book two.
The build up of suspense and the intensity of the relationship between these characters were just perfect!
Senna and Viper each want what they can’t have, and when you’re born into the life they have there’s no choice in the matter.
Senna and Viper are so incredibly hot, steamy, seductive and heart melting but at the same time infuriating towards each other and stuck at arms length.
When a threat makes itself known, the Ace Of Spade’s MC will go to no end to protect their property, and that includes their woman – and Viper will protect the club princess to no end.
These Authors have wow’d me; I’m deeply in love with this book!! Senna with her sass and need for one hot broody alpha biker, and Viper *swoon* I can’t even explain his dark mind and alpha ways.
If you like MC romantic suspense novels, then you’ll love this!
It comes highly recommended.
Ah! This was a great start to what will be an amazing series!!!
Luca “Viper” is the enforcer for the Ace of Spades MC, he has loved Senna from afar for years, but keeps telling himself that she is off limits out of respect for his club president.
Senna is a club princess, who has been in love with Luca since she was a little girl. She is strong and holds her own, but deep inside is hurting because she can’t have the one she loves.
Their love story is not easy, they have ups and owns, but that is what keeps the novel going and the reader to keep turning the pages.
I can’t wait for book number two!!!
5 Star Read!!!
Viper and Senna take you from emotion to the next with this action packed, pulse pounding read that has twist and turns and feelings you won’t be able to stop reading it. Each page and chapter will pull you in with each new word and you will feel it all. You will laugh, cry, smile and get mad but this one will keep you on toes. Can’t wait to what these two ladies do next
I’m not a huge fan of dual perspective but man when it’s done right it’s amazing! This story has a bit of everything from emotion to danger, action, adventure, suspense, angst, forbidden love, intensity, chemistry and lots more. This is not a light read- it’s a raw and the story will pluck at your heartstrings. Viper and Senna are such great characters. They were wonderfully written and their emotions and personalities made you feel like it was real! The book was very well written and the descriptions of the places were amazing! I can’t wait to see what else they throw at us! Definitely recommend!
