After reading this newest release you will want a Dominic in your life! Erika was brought up within the MC life and when she catches Dom’s eyes she doesn’t know what she is getting into but she is so ready for anything. Their chemistry is smoldering from the start and you eagerly will read their romance and can’t help heat up after each page. Their journey is not easy, but their relationship gets stronger as they find love unexpectedly. Full of action, danger, and oh so hot and naughty loving that will keep you entertained! This was a definite must one click!
Wow, of all Author Shreffler’s books I have read this was the grittiest with tension, drama and hot sex! The story is fast paced and gut wrenching at times. I have read quite a few MC romances and I wonder if Betty’s are perhaps the most realistic in how MC clubs really operate with the illegal activities and harsh treatment of club women. The romance is positively smoking hot and I loved the ending!
A raw and compelling read, this book spent more time in my head than I wanted it to. 5 Stars!
Erika fears her living environment since her older sister bought the Devil’s Serpent MC gang into their home. She’s not like Alee or their mother. Erika respects herself, studies like hell and doesn’t do drugs because she’s working her way out, not going through life on her back. She catches the eye of several members, including some young ones who believe club laws only apply if they get caught.
They have no honour, and no scruples, and, they’ll abuse what’s theirs all while eyeing up another man’s claimed woman.
Dominic Xavier is VP of the gang he was born into, knowing no other life, but respecting the rules of the club, including meting out club punishments, no matter how extreme, to anyone who disobeys. Seeing Erika walk through the house fending off unwanted attentions, he’s floored by her innocence, her beauty and her fire. There’s no way he can hold back when it becomes apparent she’s as attracted as he is, and he publicly claims her in the only way that is acceptable by gang laws.
Brother shouldn’t betray a brother, especially in not coveting another’s woman, and Dominic protects what’s his fiercely, risking a fracture within the club when he dishes out a punishment that the young ones deem unfair, and they’ll sneak, lie and dish out violence to get him back.
Parts of the book were harrowing, but still tolerable to read, and without them, this would not be an MC book, and, exactly why I’m not a fan of the genre. This should give you an insight into Ms Shreffler’s writing ability, in that readers like myself will follow our authors into genres we’re not fans of.
Betty Shreffler has sent me venturing into reading a genre I’ve never stepped near before and as much as I loved her book, I’m not stampeding towards another MC title in the near future – unless she’s written it!
5 Stars for Clipped Wings from a reader who would prefer not to be reading MC.
An emotional, intoxicating ride to go on. Betty Shreffler’s writing is outstanding. I was pulled in from the beginning, was on the edge of my seat, and rooting for Dominic and Erika till the end. Loved this book,
Book 2 in this series is unlike the first one Betty Shreffler has introduced us in her KING’S MC ROMANCE series. We have Erika who is unlike any biker lady instead is well just normal. She is definitely unlike her sister and boy talk about opposites from each other. In a way she is exactly what Dominic needs to well balance him. His whole lif has been about the Serpents and meeting Erika is making him see where his life has become like. Betty Shreffler shows us one girls determination to make a change in her life and struggle to help a sister going the wrong way. Then we have a man who is strong, brave yet come to his knees with one look of a girl he never expected to meet. All in all this whole book was great seeing these two grow and see what happens when they let love in. Loved it.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
It’s been a long time since I had the pleasure of reading a book from this lady. Too long if you ask me.
I only needed to read one book to become addicted to her writing.
Betty Shreffler is amazing with words and her books… Oh boy. She writes MC… My favorite so you know that I can’t stop.
Her writing is raw and wild, intense and emotional, sexy and forbidden… Hell yeah… It was perfect.
Clipped Wings is her latest release and it’s the second book from the Kings MC series.
This new book explores the lives of Erika and Dominic.
Erika had a normal life, well as normal as it was possible. She always wanted to be left alone but her mother and sister had other ideas. Since the moment they got themselves involved with an MC, Erika’s house was a revolving door to sex, booze, and drugs.
Her goal is to get away from that house, from that twin and attend college and become someone.
Dominic is the vice president of the Serpents MC. He’s a dangerous man that will do everything he can to get what he wants.
Oh my lord… What a book… What a ride…
Fantastic plot, very well written, super engaging and hot…
It was a wild ride full of darkness, betrayal, crime as well as desire, friendship, and hotness. Oh boy…
This book was so intense that I saw myself biting my nails… Jeez, it was one chapter after the other of raw history but then it changed and it was one hot scene after the other.
One minute they were having a great time and the next it was chaos all over.
Sometimes it hard to make the right decision but when you have doubts you need to look deeper into our hearts and seek the right answer.
It was great to see Jake and Nix in there and now I can’t wait to read the next.
Betty… Oh, girl… You nailed it. This book was freaking awesome and I can’t wait to start Nix.
Thank God I have it waiting… I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Holy crap on a cracker!!!!!!!!!!! This book was ADDICTING!!! I haven’t read Betty in a while, and I’m prepping for King of Kings. WHY DID I NOT READ THIS SOONER???? I forgot how absolutely amazing her writing is!
This book gave us SO MANY THINGS! I love a good MC and Betty sure as heck knows how to write a good one. We got the perfect amount of grit, suspense, sex, fights, emotions, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS! Erika and Dom have this instant click the moment we see them together, BUT Erika is not in a good place, not mentally or physically. In so many ways Dom saved her. He saved her from this awful life that she’d been living, and finally let her be free. Even if that freedom came with a small price.
I really love some grit in a book, and this one had so much! Between tensions with other clubs, between Erika and Christan, and the drama with Erika’s family, it was so epic. There were also a million emotions flying everywhere. Emotions and lots and lots of sexy time. It was all sooooo good. More than one can ask for with an awesome MC Book!!
Go read it nowww!!!
Book 2 of Betty’s MC romance series didn’t disappoint. In fact, it over excelled my expectations. I have a massive book hangover.
A friend recommended and gifted me a copy of this book some time ago and I just hadn’t had time to get to it until now and I REGRET IT SOOOO MUCH!
If you like slightly taboo, dirty and hot then I have the book for you. This book is that and more.
Dominic and Erika’s story is a very different tone than Castle of Kings. More drug use and taboo-ish but I must be bad in the head because I loved it. It kept me captivated. The suspense and steam had me reading faster to find out what happens next. The twists and turns Ms. Shreffler writes are amazing! Loved it!
Now I have to go read King of Kings because this book hangover left me feeling empty and needing to return to their world because I miss them all so much!
A thrilling, hotter, darker, and more delicious ride of a read
—>>> Danger and treachery, that is what you can expect in general when dealing with MC members. But what if they are right there in your own home, staring you in the face, invited by members of your own family? As VP, Dominic Xavier was born into this life and this role. He is the first to step up to uphold club laws, and he makes no bones about doing so. When he first sees Erika, he knows he wants her. Something in her spoke to him, and it was clear she needed his protection. Once he made her his, though, it was another thing entirely to keep her safe and not just from her own family. This was a thrilling, hotter, darker, and more delicious ride of a read from beginning to end of the series, involving deeper issues that run within their club. Cannot wait to see what comes next!
Having read and really enjoyed the first book in this series, I immediately downloaded and jumped into this fantastic addition to a series that’s become one of my favourites. The story of Dom and Erika was definitely darker than Castle of Kings, but I loved it just as much and couldn’t put it down. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and breathed a sigh of relief when everything came out good at the end. As I’ve come to expect from Betty Shreffler’s books, the sex scenes are off the charts and you’re left feeling hot under the collar. This couple are definitely naughtier and you could feel the connection between them from the first kiss. I’m gutted that I’ve now got to wait for book 3 as I need more of this series in my life. A definite recommended read!
Another great story! It took a bit but the connection finally came. I absolutely loved Dom! And I had to keep reminding myself that Erika is just 18. She and her family are going through so much and hooked on the drug issue that it breaks your heart. This club is not a nice family club. This story is full of triggers so be warned.
I really loved these characters and this storyline blew me away. I had to finish this story in one sitting.
Erika and Dom are drawn to each other, their chemistry is out of this world hot!!!
Dom is the VP of the Serpents MC club, and doesn’t think he deserves anything good due to his affiliation with the club. Erika is determined not to end up like her mom and sisters (with men & drugs), but her draw to Dom is automatic. Erika cannot turn away from Dom, but his affiliation with the Serpents seems to be trying to draw them apart. Be ready for a roller-coaster of a ride while these two figure out a way to be together, and lots of steamy hot scenes!
This is the best MC romance book I’ve read. Betty takes her readers on a very emotional journey throughout this story. To experience the whole emotional effect you’ll want to read this book in one sitting, it is such a page-turner…Absolutely amazing!!!
Dom is a tough alpha male with a hard heart until he meets Erika. Erika is an innocent young woman who’s been exposed to a lot of bad things during her lifetime. All she wants to do is get away from her living situation until she meets Dom. Their chemistry is so HOT it may disintegrate your Kindle.
DO NOT WAIT……1 CLICK TODAY!!
Woah Betty has created another hot as sin masterpiece.
This is the second book in The Devil’s Serpents MC series but can easily be read as a standalone, but Castle of Kings is amazing so I’d definitely read it.
This book is fast paced absolute page turner, filled with lust, passion, love, jealousy, hatred, revenge, violence and hot AF sex scenes.
STOP SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
Erika’s home life sucks, her dad’s in the nick, her mom is useless, her sister is on the wrong track in life. Then there’s Dominic he’s tatted, ripped and the chemistry they share is nuclear from his first green gaze. They are so wrong for each other, but it feels so right, the sex is mind blowing and yeah he’s scary AF but he shows her a different man than just being Devil’s Serpent VP everyone else sees.
Dominic only knows the MC world, all the craziness that comes with that life and screwing women that mean sweet FA to him. He shouldn’t want Erika she’s too good for someone like him, he should stay away for her good, she’s sweet, innocent but also a sexy little hell cat. One taste of her and he wants more, he can’t stay away, she’s his Sparrow.
Can he keep her safe at all times from enemies and his own MC brothers?
Can the dominating Dominic Xavier be brought to his knees by the quiet shy Sparrow Erika?
Will they get an HEA?
First of all, I love Dom! What an amazing character! He may be the VP of the Serpents MC and not always follow the law, but the way that he takes care of and loves Erika, really makes him swoon-worthy and unforgettable.
And how can you not admire Erika and her strength? What she has and continues to go through because of her mother and sister, is sad. But she is determined to not follow in their footsteps and wants nothing more than to make something of herself and get away from the way her life is. And even though she is about to face the unthinkable and believes that she would never make it through without Dom, we are given the opportunity to see just what she is made of. I found her inner strength amazing and her sass entertaining.
This book will definitely give you ALL the feels. It made me laugh, cry, and cheer. It is definitely HOT! and when it ended, I was ready to pick it up and read it again. I was also thrilled to “see” Jake and Nix again and look forward to seeing more of them in the future.
I have to say, just when I think your stories can’t get any better, you go and give us your next one! It is great to have an author with the talent to give us, the readers, something to love and remember. And you do that, time and again. And it is very much appreciated. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Most excellent MC read. That’s the best way I can explain “Clipped Wings”. The author has done an amazing job of giving MC readers everything they want. It has all the excitement and danger of MC Life, the love and respect of the clubhouse and brotherhood and finally the hard lov’en of a good woman.
The bikers are hard nosed and take what they want. Some do so no matter the personal cost, while others take what they feel they are entitled to no matter who it costs (which in a brotherhood can be a huge mistake). The storyline has some twist, a couple I’ll admit I didn’t see coming. It has good times and bad, happy and sad times and some amazing erotic romantic scenes. All of these combine to make one phenomenal MC book with characters you can’t help but fall in love with and root for them a happy ending. I can’t say it turns out as perfect as I would of hoped but life in the biker world is rarely perfect.
2 Thumbs Up for a very well written book that I highly recommend. And to the author I tip my hat for a job well done and please know this reader will be anxiously awaiting more from your MC arsenal.
WOW!!! This book had my jaw on the ground. I was left speechless so many times while reading this book, not only from the hot as hell scenes but because of everything that plays out in this book. My heart felt crushed so many times for everything she goes through. I wanted to lash out in anger and hurt several people and I wanted to knock some sense into Drake.
Betty has quickly jumped into my favorite authors list and I am eager to get my hands on what she has for us next. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book, you will be hooked as well.
Clipped Wings is the second in the series. Castle of Kings is the first and we do see some of the folks from book one, so I’d recommend starting there. This book has a totally different vibe from this book.
Clipped Wings is Erika and Dom’s story. They both have lived through and done things most of us can’t even begin to image. The chemistry between them was amazingly written.
This book was deep. It hit all of my emotions. I was very pleasantly surprised to see where this one took us. And I am trying to patiently wait to see where we get to go next. Very well written and highly recommended.

What a rush! I devoured this book in pretty much one sitting, putting the book down only when I had to go pick up the son from weight lifting after school. Erika and Dom’s story was all consuming. Intensely emotional lows and extremely arousing highs, their story took me on one hell of a ride. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and will definitely be reading more books written by this author.
I absolutely loved this story about Dom and Erika, hot and steamy, witty, intensely emotional and continuously building plot keeping you fully engrossed turning page after page. Dom will do anything to protect Erika, but will the strong independent woman let him
