Avelyn Paige and Gering Glenn’s Dark Secret is the second book in the Black Hoods MC series. I had such am emotional reaction to this story and characters. A misunderstand and lack of verification of truth leads these lovers to miss out on so much. The missing child aspect and racing against time to find and save her… hit me in my mommy heart for sure. Angst, pain, gealing, suspense, action, heat, forgiveness… this story delivered a fantastic reading experience. I really love these characters and their MC. Excitrd for the others’ stories.
Dark Secret is another terrific book in this series and I can honestly say I found it hard to put it down. This book focuses on another wicked and evil reality of life that unfortunately does exist. In the real world today.
Hashtag, don’t you love that name for a computer techie? Well, anyway, his one true love suddenly appeared at the end of Book one, Dark Protector, and announced he had a daughter who was missing. This book centres on Hashtag and Shelby, with the whole Black Hoods MC as well, trying to find Hayden.
Great descriptions of each character and setting really helps to build up the scenes, making it so easy to visualise them in your head as you read. There were times when I honestly didn’t know how everything was going to work out, I love it when a book is unpredictable.
I totally recommend this book and now, lucky me the third book has just released, Dark Guardian—so woohoo, I am heading straight into that one now!
This was an easy read. The plot had some suspense with the story line. The romance between the H/h was a little under developed. At times it felt like the author was trying to tap in on several ‘real life’ issues, but never really got any traction. HEA
OMG! I’ve volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. This is the second book in the Black Hoods MC series. This is Hashtag and Shelby’s story. Hashtag is the computer Guru of Black Hoods MC. Shelby is a sweet, yet a tad naïve single mother. This pair were childhood sweethearts torn apart by misunderstandings and miscommunications. Now after 13 years she’s back, and she had a big surprised for him. As secrets are discovered Hashtag and Shelby may need to put all that aside to fight for the one person who owns both their hearts. Intense, suspenseful and heart wrenching second chance romance. Once I started it, I could not put it down. I highly recommend this book! This story kept me on the edge of my seat with my heart in my throat the whole time waiting to see what was going to happen. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I HIGHLY recommend reading this series. Keep up the awesome work!
I really enjoyed this latest book in the Black Hoods MC series. Shelby and Hashtag had a relationship over 10 years ago and without warning Shelby left and her leaving without a word absolutely rocked Hashtag’s world. Now Shelby is back and is needing his help. Hashtag is mad and very upset at Shelby and the news that she brings is completely unexpected. He can’t deny the feelings that he has always had for her, they never really truly went away. Shelby can’t deny the feelings that she has for Hashtag. I am a huge sucker for a good second chance romance and this story delivers it in spades. I was hooked from beginning to end and didn’t want to see it end. It was such a great story, one that I recommend to all. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series…well done!!!
This is the second book in the Black Hoods MC and picks up straight where the first book left off and the massive bombshell that was dropped at Hashtag’s feet!
The girl he has always loved and never forgotten, who disappeared without a word has just shown up again 13 years later and needs his help. I honestly loved him, he had anger which was natural but stepped up straight away to help.
The pace of this story was fast and kept me 100% engaged from beginning to end. Parts of this tale honestly broke my heart. It covered some hard topics quite brilliantly.
Only thing that made me give this 4 stars was because I was honestly expecting a confrontation with the people that caused Shelby to leave. It seemed anti-climatic and just forgotten.
I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series
I am loving this new biker series. I finished this one in one go…
Shelby and Hashtag (Wyatt) were together since they were teenagers, even though her parents didn’t think he was good enough for her, they loved each other. But then something happened when Shelby was about to tell him that she was pregnant. Shelby ran away and now thirteen years later she strolls back into the clubhouse needing his help to find their daughter.
Wyatt is a member of the Black Hoods MC, he is the tech guy. So when Shelby comes back all these years later asking for his help, he is so angry and hurt that she left him, but maybe this is also a second chance for them and also a chance to find out what happened thirteen years ago.
I loved this one. I love books with kids in it, and even though Hash and Shelby were so angry with each other, they put it aside to find their daughter, but also they couldn’t deny their love never went away.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series, this is definitely a series that had me hooked from book 1 and I can’t wait to see what happens next
** spoiler alert ** 13 years ago, she left him without an explanation. Now she is back and needs his help. Will he be able to help her? Will they find the love they had?
LOVE this series so far and have already preordered the next! I didn’t blame Hashtag for being mad and upset, but loved how he didn’t deny what he felt and he was willing to do anything for her. I couldn’t blame her for her reaction when she was 18, but loved seeing her let her walls down and allow him back in when she realized the truth. Great read!
Truly a great story. These two authors did a wonderful job. This story will give you everything you could possibly want in an MC book. This book can be read as a standalone.
I just love Hashtag. He was one sexy biker. I love how the authors gave us a glimpse into Hashtags and Shelby’s past together. I can not imagine what the two of them were feeling. It truly shows that every story has two sides to it.
Shelby had so much hurt and I love that she knew where to turn when she really needed someone.
This was truly a great story and is well worth reading. I would highly recommend this book.
Man, this series is getting addicting. Love Shelby and Wyatt’s ( Hashtag ) story. There was a lot of action in this one. Can wait to see what they have in store for Judge.
Well I am going to start this review by saying that I totally pre-ordered book three in this series, before starting this one!!
I absolutely love this writing duo, they are seamless!!
Now this book kicks off where book one ended, so you are straight into full on FEELS! Despite disappearing twelve years ago without explanation, as soon as Hashtag finds out about Haydn from Shelby, he is all in!!
This book sucked me right in and did not let up until I got to the end! What a ride!! I cannot wait for Judge’s story!!
This is the second book in the Black Hoods MC series and Dark Secret pulls you in from the start. Hashtag and Shelby were happy together until something made her leave, never to be heard from again. That is until their daughter, one Hashtag never even knew he had, goes missing and Shelby comes to him for help getting her back. Can the pair get past the pain of how things ended years ago to save their daughter, and will they get a chance to try again when all is well in their worlds again?
This writing duo are freakin awesome and I can’t wait for more. Fast paced, filled with drama, angst and second chances this was a great read that I couldn’t put down. I give Dark Secret 5 stars.
Dark Secret is story based on real life issues that every parent faces in this age of technology. Hashtag is the male lead, he is the computer Guru of Black Hoods MC. Shelby is the female lead and the love of his life. Together along with the club they have to find their daughter before it’s too late. The authors do a great job with the storyline and characters. I wished Blair made more of an appearance, I loved the Lindsey and Karma drama I personally hope we get their story soon. Overall another good story from Paige and Glen team!! Happy Reading!!!
When Shelby went to see Hashtag, the man she loved, to share some life changing news the course of their lives were altered when she saw something she wasn’t expecting but rather than asking questions she fled and they haven’t spoken since.
Hashtag never knew why Shelby left only that she was gone. He has moved forward with his life until she shows up 13 years later however the bigger surprise wasn’t seeing her but finding out that he was a father and that his daughter is missing.
The primary concern for Hashtag is rescuing their daughter but along the way they may just be able to sort through the misunderstandings of the past and finally have the life they always planned. Not only do Shelby and Hashtag draw you in but the storyline balances action and romance perfectly.
Why does the book start out 13 years in the past? Who is Shelby? How does she know Kasey? How old are they? What is happening in their lives? Who is Wyatt? Why do we meet Layla, Sasha, and Hashtag? Who is Hayden and why do I feel bad for her? I like Kasey! She is definitely Shelby’s #igy6 person! I really liked that! What happens on the night of Hashtag’s patch party? What brings Shelby into his orbit again? You have to read this MC romance with some serious bits of suspense to it that had me unable to put down the book. This was a great second read to the series!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
#Enthralling!
This is book 2 in the Black Hoods MC.
Shelby and Hashtag shared more than an unfinished business. When she reconnects with Hashtag, secrets are revealed neither imagined.
A mother’s worse nightmare, and a man’s worse way of making discoveries.
Intense, suspenseful and heart wrenching second chance romance. Well paced with well developed characters, as the story evolved it became a story if love, family and forgiveness!
Intriguing and enjoyable I read this beauty in one sitting!
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Hashtag is ready to start the next chapter of his life. Shelby is not happy with the current situation. This is a story that shows there’s more to the MC lifestyle than riding a motorcycle. There are men who use more than their bodies to get things done. Shelby has a daughter that steals the show even though we don’t see that much of her.
This is one more example of why these two authors are good at what they do. I want a book that I can enjoy from beginning to end. I don’t want to analyze what they wrote trying to figure out who created what. You want a story that seems believable. You want both characters that you can love and those that you want to hate. There are times where you want a damsel in distress where the guy gets on his trusty steed in order to come to the rescue. You’ll find plenty of emotion and suspense to keep you glued to your seat. But don’t get me started on the hot and steamy.
It left me wanting more. More of the Black Hoods and the people that come into their lives. The hardest thing for me is being patient until the next one comes along. But I remember the saying that “good things come to those who wait”. And I know I’ll get something good when I see a book by these authors.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Hashtag and Shelby’s story is one of heartache, hard times and struggles and finally peace. This book is full of suspense and I couldn’t put my candle down for wanting to know what happened next. They were high school sweethearts and at Hashtag’s patch in party for the club things go awry. 12 years later Shelby shows up at the clubhouse door with her daughter missing. Old feelings arise but the most important thing is finding their daughter. Will they find her in time? Will they all come out unscathed?
Shelby just found out she is pregnant and is headed to the clubhouse for Wyatt aka Hashtags patch party what she finds makes her run and never tell him he is going to be a dad, years later she shows back up because her daughter is missing and asks Wyatt for help, these two still have the chemistry and fight like an old married couple but finding their daughter is all that matters.
Shelby ran from Hashtag when she saw something that destroyed her. Now years later she is back because their daughter is missing. The problem is Hashtag did not know he has a daughter or why Shelby left him. This story is full of all the emotions and one you don’t want to put down.
