I love being the VP of the Royal Bastards MC. It was my calling. So was the blood lust. I grew up craving it in any form I could get it and I took it with force. But that wasn’t all I wanted. No, I wanted her. The old lady of a rival MC. I watched her as I sated my taste for blood but once I had her, I didn’t know if I could finish what I started. She’s found something else inside of me that I … if I could finish what I started. She’s found something else inside of me that I didn’t know I had. Now I don’t know what to do with her.
Kill her? Or Keep her?

This is the first book in the “Royal Bastards MC” series and the first book I’ve read by Erin Trejo so I truly had no idea what to expect when it came to the storyline, the world-building, or the character interactions. So I’ll spell this out now. If you have any triggers know there are several things within the pages that could set them off. If you’re like me and enjoy a dark read then you’ve definitely hit the motherload here. It took me a bit to get through the first part of the book since it was a slow build getting to know Drake but once it started to pick up speed I was hit with a dark and gritty read with very passionate alphas. If this is what I have to look forward to the rest of the series and Erin Trejo’s work, then count me in!
This is a dark dark book but I loved every minute of it. I must have a sick mind because this is one of the darkest books I have read in a while. Evie and Drake have a story to tell and boy do they tell it. It starts off as Drake wanting Evie for his own selfish reasons when she becomes more to him.
This story was fast paced and full of gore. I have to warn you if you don’t like dark then don’t read this because it will take you places you have never been before. Take a roller coaster of a ride with Evie and Drake and the Royal Bastards MC.
Drake and Evie….wow!! First let me say I love Erin, she is one of my favorite dark and twisted author’s. If you have trigger’s I would definitely be cautious on her. She is fanominal with her writing. Drake is a man who has a different taste in many things. He’s definitely a different type of alpha. He finds his beauty to his beast Evie. She has her own demons she fights. They are two souls meant for each other and this is their story. I loved every second of it.
Wow this was dark! Although maybe not my favourite of Erin’s books it certainly grabbed me. Well developed characters and a pretty twisted story line. My only question would be what drove Drake to kill women? The perverts and trafficers yes, but not women.
Having said all that I connected with the characters in this book and enjoyed the warped and twisted route this took. I would not recommend this book if you are easily offended, if you enjoy the darker side of literature then look no further.
OK, so I’ve read this and had to adsorb before I came to the only conclusion possible: THIS IS DARK AF, this is a psychotic clusterfuck, this is ghastly and it is an fab read!
Drake is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC main chapter, hiding that My head is a complete fucked-up hell hole. Raised by an abusive father who used to beat me and my mom until we couldn’t see straight. He would go from the abuser to the man who was hypnotized by the sight of blood flowing from our wounds. When Drake’s best friend Tara is kidnapped, her beaten and abused body left for her parents to be found, Drake’s internal beast is set free making him often wonder if that’s the reason I want to hurt, kill, and watch people bleed.
Obsessed by Evie, the wife of a rival club president, Drake does the unthinkable and kidnaps her. But his firm set plans are derailed, when he sees a side of Evie that captivates and intrigues him.
But Drake has a score to settle and get justice for a long lost friend.

Part of the Royal Bastards MC series
Holy Hell! This is one intense, dark read that will have you picking your jaw up from the floor more often than not. What you get with this superbly written book is a storyline that is a bit of a contradiction in that you have a man who kills, but not only for his club, for himself as well. He needs the blood like an addict needs their next fix. It’s women, it’s sex and blood. It’s hardcore and gets a bit sketchy when he finally gets the woman he’s been fixated on, Evie who is the ol’ lady of another MC’s president. He doesn’t care. He has plans for her and once he has her he will carry out his plan; only there is something about her and how she reacts to him and their situation that throws him off of his game and totally blows up his plans. She intrigues him, and when she tells him of her life with the other MC, he sees red, but not towards her. As their time together draws out, his emotions are confusing him. He doesn’t understand what is happening to him other than he knows that this is the only woman he can totally relate to and he is determined to keep her. When she reveals more information to him about the other club things hit a fevered pitch as she reveals that the other MC is into trafficking young girls for sex trade. Now, he and his club are not good men, and he has done bad things to women before, but nothing like this. Not like what happened to his best friend when he was a child. Now he is out not only for blood, but for pain and suffering as they work to cut off the head of the ring. First, he needs to take out Evie’s ex and some of his men. Needs to make him suffer just like he’s made Evie and the other girls suffer. What surprises him most about this situation is that Evie wants to be there, she wants to see her ex die.
This is truly the turning point for these two as Evie reveals her dark side to Drake as he watches what the woman who is turning his whole world upside down.
This book is at times hard to read, but it has already captured you and intrigued you so much that putting it down is something that you find you cannot do, until you reach the end. This is the begining of of a series that will no doubt bring you to you knees, excite you, intrigue you and even make you shudder with the intensity of what you are reading. I am sure that they will also bring quite a bit of heat into the stories of these brothers as well, because you know, you really can’t have a great MC read without a big dash of smoldering, intense heat between the sheets to reeve up your engines!
Hold on tight because this ride is extremely bumpy and filled with so many bumps in the road that you will definitely want to hold on for dear life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Great start to this series and giving a peak as to where the MC is headed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This was my first read written by you and I so couldn’t put it down. I honestly don’t know what I was expecting since it was my first but I hope to ready many more of your stories.
The thirst for blood is real. This is a dark and twisted quick read that shows there’s someone out there for everyone.
If you don;t have triggers and want something dark, gritty, and twisted- run don’t walk to read this thrilling ride from Erin!
I love Erin Trejo’s books. They grab me from start to finish, whether I love the characters or find them just slightly dubious, I can always find something redeeming about them. But, how do you write a review about a book about a truly morally reprehensible character, who does horrible things to relatively innocent people just to satisfy his sick need. I read this whole book, but had to walk away from time to time to absorb what I just read. I really, really hated Drake and found Evie weak. I found myself really hating that they got a happy, though bloody ending. I am a huge fan of dark, dark romance, but this is a whole new level that I am not a fan of. I love you Erin, just not this.
I received an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
If you love MC stories and you love DARK DARK romances. Then this book is for you.
If you just a normal MC romance type of girl then this could be a tough one. But if you like DARK Romances then Drake is your guy. Badass, alpha dark and twisted… He sees what he wants and he takes it without any regard to the consequences. But he didn’t count on her. And that is a twist he didn’t see coming!
I can’t give away any detail cause it would spoil the story for those hardcore biker readers. But I seriously recommend this book if you want something with a dark twist
So, the first thing I want to say, this book is NOT for the faint of heart. A couple of times, I almost put this story down, but I pushed through, and I am happy I did. There is a reason for EVERYTHING in this story. Blood Lust is a real thing in this story, and everyone seems to have it.
I do not want to give anything away because I didn’t know what I was getting into, and I really think someone should go into this story like I did, totally blind. Please, even if at first you are like me and want to walk away, don’t. Blood Lust is an unusual, twisted, and mentally draining beginning to a new MC series.
Another amazing and gritty MC book by Erin. Love this so much. I cant wait to read the rest of this Multi-Author Series!

Not your typical MC book. Drake has a very dark past that has made him into the very dark man that he is. He is obsessed with Evie and is determined to get her. When he gets her, he changes his plans and decides to keep her. Evie is his dark angel that he does not understand but can’t let go. So emotional and intense.
Bloodlust galore is the fancy on the menu for this one! Very well written and great story telling. I will read anything Miss Trejo. she did not disappoint! This is not your typical Trejo read yes she writes dark but this one is VERY dark but it will keep you on the edge of your seat and it will make keep you entertained. It is a good story and one I will be waiting and hoping she adds to.

This is one of those books that skates the line so damn tightly it’s scary. It is NOT for someone looking for roses and unicorns, and if you don’t love your books dark, in fact so damn dark that not even sun will shine, then walk away now. Actually RUN. If however you relish the darkness then buckle up baby, because this one is gonna make you tingle.
The characters are dark and flawed, yet beautifully matched to each other. You will either love Drake or you won’t. There really isn’t an in between.
Erin Trejo begins the Royal Bastards MC series with a dark and bloody tale in Blood Lust.
We meet Drake, an individual you do NOT want to come across anytime soon. With a depravity that works to his club’s advantage, we eventually peek inside his destructive psyche and learn about his ‘other’ obsession.
Ultimately, this is a love story, but we travel Drake’s bloody path to get to it.
I love all Erin Trejo’s MC books and she did not disappoint with Drake and Evie. Drake and Evie’s story is an amazing, twisted and dark story. Drake is a very dark man with a horrible past and he considers Evie his prize that he takes from a rival. This MC book was an intense story that doesn’t let you go until the very last page. I highly recommend this book.
I can’t believe I just read that. Seriously? Erin has a sick, twisted mind and this book was dark, suspenseful, nail biting, edge of your seat, hot, erotic, action, disturbing and so good. Looking forward to more books by Erin. She’s now one of my favorite authors. Be warned there are triggers in this book.

Okay, I knew this was going to be dark but this ended up being darker than I expected. I have read lots of dark romances with dubious consent but I learned with this book that I’m not okay with actual rape where the girl is crying and saying stop. That just bugged me. What really made it 3 stars though is how hypocritical Drake was!! He’s so upset about the guys who kidnap the women and rape/kill them but he has does the same thing!
If you like really dark romances than you will like this book. It was well written and had an interesting plot overall.
