Wheels & Hogs is a short introduction to a new series. The characters are all survivors, men and women, who have now become part of Connelly’s Horde, a close knit famy. A brief description of their past opens new books to this series.
Des owns Wheels & Hogs and has become somewhat of a father figured and a true friend.
“… going down a narrow way and finding a true love along that broken road”. The words seem to be about Des’s life.
Loved diving into this new series.
Book one is more of an introduction to the series and its characters and it touched on a little bit about each character and a little bit about them but, one thing was sure they all had a mystery surrounding them. We were introduced to Desmond Connelly who is the owner and operator of Wheels of Hogs but, he is also a father figure to most of the men and women who work under him not only that I call him the fixer. He is all the above, father, brother, mentor, and protector, and he considers them all his family regardless of blood. Each character is suffering from their own demons whether it is physical and emotional abuse, or sexual abuse, or heartbreak and illness these misfits have become his family.
The story and its characters read like an MC family because they are all about how a family comes first, and they will do anything and everything to be there for one another through the good times as well as the bad times. We were introduced to Fern, and we found out she is all about being a mother hen to all her boys. We fell instantly in love with this character.
Des regardless of all his good qualities he is a bit of a man whore but, bedding a sea of women is getting old real fast, and he decides it’s about time he to cleans up his act and finds a woman to settle down with him to suspend the rest of his life with, and he has someone in mind the one that got away and now he only needs to convince her to give them another chance…
Overall I really enjoyed this novella of what some could call a prequel to what’s to come and what we are in store for some drama and romance and a bit of suspense, heartbreak, and stories that are about to rip out our heart.
We loved it!

A quick read, an introduction to Desmond and his horde. There were many characters brought out for us to get a taste for and how Desmond found and cared for them. With upcoming stories, there will be a common background which I look forward to seeing how it all will play out.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
This is the 1st novella is a new series. Des is the owner of a garage which repairs and customizes cars and motorcycles and is an introduction to his crew which has built up to become a family. This is a quick read novella which had secrets, intrigue, and love. I look froward to reading more form this talented author.
D. M. Earl has created characters that are 3 dimensional and so complex, that when you read this book you will feel like the pictures take form in your mind and you are actually following their lives. Connelly’s Horde is exactly that. It’s Desmond Connelly’s Horde (or Family) that he has brought together. While reading this, you can feel the emotion and thought process by the characters. I am highly anticipating the next book to this series. D. M. Earl truly has a gift that I intend to follow along for the ride.
I can’t say no. No matter what, I can’t say no to MC books. I can’t… Can’t…
I might be swamped with work and books but I will always get time to read this genre.
And the opportunity to meet a new author is exciting.
D.M. Earl is a new author to me and continuing like this, I’ll be following her. That’s for sure.
Connelly’s Horde is the first book from the Wheels & Hogs series and explores the lives of the workers of Wheels & Hogs.
Desmond owns a shop that repairs motorcycles and customizes them as well.
He created a family in between his workers and this book will show you just that.
This book is an introduction to this series and you will fall in love with each and every crew member.
I thought that this was an MC book, but it isn’t. I’m not sad about it because I simply lived the vibe that this crew exuded.
It was a great introduction and I can’t wait to read the next book.
Awesome book D.M. Earl. Simply amazing. Short but perfect. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
