SlickLike the rest of my brothers, I’m devastated when disaster hits the Satan’s Devils MC. Shocked and angry, there couldn’t be a worse time to be contacted by the woman I’d briefly made my old lady, only for her to run the moment things got too tough.She’d left me with no explanation, and in my book that was enough to cut her out for good. When she finds herself in trouble Prez makes me go see … herself in trouble Prez makes me go see her and offer my help. But only on the condition she knows what was once between us will stay dead and buried.
There had been no good reason for her to run, had there?

I didn’t run from Slick, I ran from his club, only to find the world outside their protection can be just as dangerous. And now, to protect my little sister, I’ve no alternative other than to ask Slick for help. It’s not good timing, the Satan’s Devils have just lost one of their own.
I understand why Slick wants to keep his distance, I ‘d hurt him when he’d put everything on the line, acting out of character and claiming me as his old lady. A gesture I’d thrown back in his face. But I’m not the same woman he first met. There are things he doesn’t know.
Warning: Due to scenes of violence and sex, and bad language, this book is not suitable to be read by those under the age of 18 or who may experience triggers.

Slick Running is the third book in Satan’s Devils MC Series by Manda Mellett. As with the rest of the books in this series, this is a riveting MC story- with complex, quirky and loveable characters, camaraderie, family, friendship, loyalty, chemistry, sparks, tension, sizzle, drama, trafficking, drugs, hidden agendas, compromised law enforcement, passion, and healing. This book contains some sensitive subjects- but Ms. Mellett has handled them in a considerate, yet honest way.
I wasn’t sure I was going to ‘like’ Slick in this book, as he really disappointed me in the previous book. But, thankfully he won me over- and I was totally engrossed by the story. He and Ella have a complicated history, and I really felt for them- especially Ella.
Loved the way it all came together in the end!
Bring on Book #4!
Thank you, Ms. Mellett!
This is definitely a book that should only be read by those over 18, as there is profanity, extremely graphic and explicit scenes throughout, and not just of the adult variety. If you have any trigger points, or PTSD, this may be a series for you to avoid, but these books are great if you like hard hitting books that are full of emotion. They can be read individually, however, I would recommend reading them in the order in which they were written.
This book starts with a link to “Turning Wheels” and a confrontation with another MC where the Satan’s Devil’s brought in a woman, Ella, to help them deal with the situation. She ends up getting hurt and although claimed by Slick, she abruptly leaves without a word to anyone apart from Drummer. We find ourselves revisiting her after she contacts Slick again, as she needs some help. Slick ignores the calls she is making and denies her his help (without consulting the rest of the club) in a spiteful manner because he is still hurting from when she left. She happens to call when he is in a meeting with Drummer and so he demands to know what is going on Slick explains the situation and Drummer demands that he goes over to see her and sort the issue out, as they owe her a lot.
When Slick goes to see Ella with one of the club Prospects, she is being harassed by her housemates boyfriend and when Slick sees that he is claiming that Ella is his. all the old feelings are brought back and neither of them quite knows how to deal with it, so when Ella makes it clear that she is not with the guy and gets into an argument with him, Slick and the prospect escort him out and tell him that he is not allowed back to the house. After this,Ella tells Slick why she has called him and why she needs the club’s help. Ella explains that she is worried about her younger sister because her behaviour has changed dramatically over the last few months, Slick agrees that he will ask the club if there is anything that they can do.
After this, Slick asks why she left him before and they both get angry and shout at each other, but she eventually gets to the point where she starts sobbing uncontrollably and the truth of her experience, that she has been hiding from everyone, comes out in all it’s foul reality. At this point she breaks down and Slick has to call Doc to come and see her. When Ella comes out of her faint, she finds that she is back at the club and doesn’t want to be there, in her mind, it is the last place that she wants to be. When the club find out exactly how much they owe Ella.
This is a story of revelations, revenge, protection, loyalty, trust being broken and remade, relationships being rebuilt and as always in this series, a lot of sex.
Slick Running by Manda Mellett is a five star read that will leave you yearning more each and every time. This is book three in the Satan’s Devils MC series and is a powerful and emotional rollercoaster.
Ella decides to help the Satan’s Devils but she never could have imagined the price she had to pay. How do you tell the one person you can’t get out of your head, who you are sure will never want you after he learns the truth, what happened?
Slick thought he had found what he was looking for but that was never real, however when he finally learns the truth he can’t believe how stupid he was and just what was at stake.
