Razor moved from the Memphis RTMC chapter to Chattanooga to set up and manage a series of laundromats, because the local chapter needs more ways to legitimize their illegal income. He’s gay, but the Chattanooga chapter has accepted gay couples into their social circle, so he hopes they can accept him. Matty is about to graduate college, and he’s in the market for a Daddy. He walks into the RTMC … the RTMC bar with three of his girlfriends, and a huge hulk of a man rescues him from some rednecks. He recognizes the bouncer for the leather daddy he is, and sparks fly between them.
Most of the MC is prepared to accept Razor as a gay brother, but they know they’ll have to figure things out as they happen once Razor is serious about someone. Will his ‘boy’ be an ol’lady? And can all the ol’lady rules really apply to a man?
Razor is a raven, Matty is human. The RTMC fits into the local supernatural hierarchy in a myriad of ways, and Razor is already friends with Abbott and Spence.
But a supernatural storm is about to blindside the club, and their personal ties to The Dragon King and Master Vampire won’t be enough to help.
Warning: Male-male sexual practices are front and center in this book, not to mention it’s kinky as your grandmother’s old phone cord. Razor and Matty are heavy on the D/s, the S&M, and the B&D.
Since some reviewers have been surprised by this in other books, it seems necessary to also warn that sometimes bikers solve problems with their fists, and there’s lots of sexy fun in the clubhouse with women who hang around because they want to be there, and who can leave anytime they want.

Candace is one of my favorite authors. This series was my introduction to her and I binge read all the books available at the time. Since then I’ve read all the RTMC, the Only Human Series and the Chattanooga Supernaturals books. Razor and Matty are a great couple. They bring together elements from these 3 factions in an intriguing way. The romance between them is amazing, their kink is front and center but not in an in your face way. I loved seeing all the couples from the previous books pop in and out, it was almost like getting an update on where they are now. I loved seeing the way their kink was incorporated and how Matty was worked into the RTMC dynamic. This is a great series and I cannot wait to see what it next.
If you have been following my reviews you’ll know that not only am I a big fan of Candace Blevins but that I am a HUGE fan of her Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club series and let me tell you, RAZOR is my new favorite biker!
Yes, yes I know I’ve said this before about some of the other members of the RTMC but really Razor had me hook, line, and sinker. He is not only yummy to look at but the way he is with Matty really grabbed me.
I appreciated the fact that there wasn’t much drama/angst between the two other than Razor having to keep his turning into a Raven a secret and Matty loosing what he thought to be his “Forever Master” when he died years earlier. We do have a slight age difference but I wouldn’t consider this a May/December Romance because their ages never really came into question when they got together. But the insignificance of it all let us, the reader, get what I would consider a more “romantic” read. Don’t get me wrong things are definitely not a bed full of roses for these two but the angst or drama didn’t lead the story or the way the two of them felt for one another.
This book was pretty heavy on the kink, which by the way will rev even a broken engine! Hot is an understatement when it comes to speaking about what Razor and Matty get up to sexually. I really don’t want to give to much away but not only do we have the Daddy kink at play but we also have some S/m at play as well as some Domestic Discipline. Mmm Mmm good!
I loved the Daddy/boy relationship between Razor and Matty, I haven’t seen this area of BDSM often, I usually read Daddy/girl relationships so this was a nice change. If you enjoy MM, BDSM, Bikers, and such I would urge you to give Razor a try. This can be read as a standalone but I feel it’s much more enjoyable if you have immersed yourself in the Kirsten O’Shea’s Universe.

What a wonderful way Ms Blevins uses to introduce the characters, some of whom we have met previously but it’s how she did it that I admire. No list of names and functions here – instead there is almost a short biography on the people how they met in a more or less continuation of the books.
This is a storyline of not just an M/m erotic relationship although it has plenty of that. Matty is lucky enough to meet Razor when he is attacked and hurt by a couple of rednecks and as he is a medic Razor is the one to check him out and Matty sees the kind of man he is looking for.
Matty is truly a sweet twink with a masochistic side so strong his lifetime friend Micca has to be included in the first negotiations to protect him from himself. He’s looking for a Daddy and hopes it’s going to be Razor. And Razor wants him too but finds he likes him as well and the sadist in him is delighted. Add in lots of hot BDSM play both in clubs and home and mix it up with another couple of sadists with great imagination and wow extra hot and heavy!
With the background of the RTMC there are bound to be some complications and sometimes they get a little intense and we expect that from this author. Politics become involved and amends must be made and we get a look as a brutal and vicious although well deserved punishment is meted out.
During the year long story we get to see the closeness develop into a deep and abiding love with admiration for each other.
This is really a romance with all of the quirky kink and more that we are used to from Ms Blevins.
I received an ARC of this book.
This is the 11th book in the Rolling Thunder MC series, and just like all the other books this one is very well written and entertaining. Razor is a new member of the Chattanooga Chapter and becomes the first openly gay member. When Matty runs into trouble in the MC bar the attraction with Razor is pretty much instantaneous. The power exchange in this book is considerably more intense than the other books in the series, as Razor and Matty quickly settle into a Daddy/Boy relationship.
The thing that appeals most to me about this series is the likeability of the characters. From the main characters, to the Ol’ Ladies, to the bulk of the MC members, everyone just comes across as genuine and very likeable characters. The Ol’ Ladies really come through in this one, as Matty’s acceptance with the MC is tested. I love the bond the author has created among the Ol’ Ladies and their female friends, no catty relationships here, just genuine support for each other. I was sad to see this one end, and it definitely left me looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love all the dominate shifters in this series, though Razor and Matty have carved out a heart shaped space. Their story is sadistically erotic, romantic, and complex. It’s not easy to be gay in an MC, it’s a daunting road to ride down. Candace handles this with aplomb, wit and wisdom. So belly up to the bar, get your favorite beverage and settle in for an great read
I don’t know if there’s a way that I can explain how I felt when I was reading Razor. First of all, the relationship between Razor and Matty starts off right away, they both know what they want, what they need. It left me feeling with sense of pieces falling into place, maybe completeness for them. It was just like they were meant for each other, they clicked from the start.
Second, their kinkiness is pretty intense and I love reading that, this author sure knows how to grab our attention. I enjoy my share of M/m books, add in the Daddy and his boy dynamic and I was in heaven. Razor is a pretty hardcore and some scenes will surely have you squirming, the way Candace details those scenes, I felt like a voyeur.
What a treat to get to see almost all the other couples, and it takes all of them combined to make Matty a part of the RTMC. Matty is such a lovable character and I like the fact that he stands his ground on what he feels strongly about much to the dismay of his Daddy. I think Razor and Matty make an amazing couple, their bond develops as the story progresses and that was so much fun to experience.

If you are not ready for a SUPER kinky M/M romance I would suggest skipping this one (though you might regret it). I thought the story was super sweet and really enjoyed it even though I was not always into the sexy bits.
Razor is a raven and falls head over heels for Matty. I love that this story brings us a whole new type of relationship and another supernatural in the RTMC. I felt like the reactions of everyone in the story was very realistic. His relationship is mostly accepted by the MC but it’s not 100% smooth sailing. Some went above and beyond to make they feel accepted which while appreciated did not always work out the way they did. Their love story was adorable! Each of their backstories was well fleshed out and really added to their relationship. I was rooting for them the entire time.
The only place where the book fell short for me was the sex. It’s not that it was poorly done, Candace did an amazing job as always, some of the scenes were just not what I am into. If leather daddies and extreme kink are your things you might love it! That being said I feel like as they settled into their relationship more it calmed down.
A LOT also happens in the book that I am pretty sure will be hugely important going forth in the series. So if you love the Kirsten O’Shea universe I highly recommend reading Razor!
LOVIN’ IT !!!!!
this book is like … if you ask Candace to write a simple, sweet and easy romance …. this is what you would get !!! in an m/m version 🙂 LOL
its hot, its sweet, it goes straight to the point “you want?” “yes” “me too” “lets do this” and it only gets better. No #toomuchdrama #nosupernaturaldrama (at least not like, as I call it, #KristenLevelSupernaturalDrama LOL) and the story is soooo fluid you will be hooked, I promise you (even when you cringe on certain scenes – HEEEY >> Disclaimer: its not my kink :-p) you will love this story of Razor and Matty.
They meet, they click, they try, they go for it !!! hip hip huuuuurayyy
I have to say, this was also an educational book (and here I was thinking that Candace covered everything there is in BDSM in her books, she pulls one on me, and I’m back to school again), and from that point I was intrigued and hooked wanting more from it. and, let me tell you, Candace delivers ! and she goes to town with the fine details in a relationship (like she didn’t before)!!
The book is a multi-talented: you have the bikers, you have the supernaturals, you have the kink, and you have the sweet romance, so there is absolutely no reason why you aren’t reading this and join our #CandaceAddicts therapy group (we eat cookies, share dog pics, and harass her what we want her to write about)
Erotically intense, romantically sweet – Razor is unexpected. I have come to expect a certain type of angst or major struggle between the main characters in Ms. Blevins’ stories. Or a forced accelerated sexual growth or maturity as a central plot. This one pleasantly surprised me as it is neither angsty nor was there any major drama. And the supernatural world did not rear its ugly head with good versus evil fighting for the rights to earth. Instead, we are treated to a lovely erotic romance between two men who know what they want. This story can be read as a standalone. Personally, I recommend reading the other books in the series to get a better feel for the world as well as the secondary characters. Ms. Blevins does give a nice dossier on the different characters at the beginning of the book which will help new readers ease into this world.
Where to start? I like the characters. I really like Razor. He’s my type of Daddy Dom and his character seduced me from the beginning. Matty, the sweet little boy is adorable. I like that he meets several of the twink stereotypes and he’s not bothered by it. He may have some flaws, but that only makes him perfect. The interactions between Razor and Matty are refreshing. They communicate well together and they don’t have baggage coming into the relationship. Or I should say, very little baggage as Matty did lose whom he thought would be his forever Master due to a death. That would affect and change anyone. What I enjoy most about these two is their erotic power exchange and the ease of slipping into a semi-domestic discipline relationship. The maintenance spankings completely appealed to me. I’m a bit envious of Matty. The two together are so good and it’s nice to read about characters who aren’t fighting the relationship or in denial about their feelings.
This leads me to their kink play. Good Lord have mercy on me. The BDSM in this story is hawt. Super hawt with sadist Doms and Dommes mixing in piercing, breath play, orgasm denials, forced orgasms and heavy SM. The kink is all pretty plausible (except for the whole vampire drinking blood thing) and I was over the moon with the descriptions. Ms. Blevins does a very nice job of giving just the right amount of kink at the right time in the stories. The kink in this story is necessary because it is a way for Matty and Razor to bond better. The intimacy in the SM which does include fisting, brings the two closer together. It is as if they are tuning into each other’s wavelength the more they explore together. I love it. This tale is a sweet romance story with a bite. This is not to say it is all roses because there is also punishment in the story. And it isn’t pretty or easy. There are no funishments in this book. When Matty steps out of line, he knows it and gracefully accepts his punishment. This does not mean quietly… because some of the punishments are brutal!
This lengthy novel packs quite a bit in it. Just as I thought it would end, there was more to the story. I’ve come to expect this of Ms. Blevins and I appreciate her for giving so much and yet still wanting more when the story comes to an end. One item which caught my attention is how Ms. Blevins continues to easy slice the timeline and move forward. This story’s timeline goes through at least a year. I like this technique because it does feel like more has happened and that we are progressing forward. This judicious usage of moving time forward with just a few paragraphs keeps a reader’s attention whilst making the story more plausible with the length of a romance. I appreciate her not going into every detail of every day.
This story is a nice breather from the ever intense “people out to get them” themes in the other books of the series. The focus is more on the relationships within the MC and how it relates to the greater supernatural world. It is fascinating to see how something I probably wouldn’t think twice of as an issue become such a large problem. It is interesting to note the consequences of a careless negligent act due to a personal bias – and how it snowballs into a political nightmare. I won’t lie, the restitution needed to correct this error seemed a bit over the top to me. However, I’m not in the MC lifestyle so I can’t honestly judge if it is too much or too little. I can say that it did arouse me and I had to break out the vibrator. My only regret is the scene was more a quick overview instead of a graphic viewing of the restitution. I wish I could been in the audience and I would have stayed until the end! This erotic m/m romance is recommended to paranormal readers who have a penchant for Daddy Doms, Leather Daddies and sadistically kinky motorcycle men.
*I received an advanced copy. No review was required. I wrote way anyway.
Razor and Matty not your typical RTMC couple; a daddy and his boy. Their relationship means breaking new ground within the club and not all the members are on board. Almost from day one Razor and Matty know they have something special but they, like most couples, must wade the murky waters of a new relationship. Razor gives Matty the much needed structure and boundaries he needs and craves. Matty is accepted into the ol’ladies group and when dangerous situation arises, Matty steps up and firmly cements his status in the club.
These two characters are winners! Theirs is not hearts and flowers type of love but it is intensely personal. Their dynamic is sado-masochistic but it’s one of trust and consent freely given. As usual Canace Blevins nails it with rich, comlex character and storylines. Stepping into her supernatural world is always a fabulous reading adventure!
Were back in Chattanooga!
You’d expect a hard a**ed shifter dominating a sweet boy without much fuss, when it comes to a member of the RTMC.
What you get instead, is a hard a**ed biker with a heart as big as his balls, going all out to get and keep his boy once he found him. Through all kinds of smoldering hot SM scenes, altercations with rednecks and brothers, Razor’s boy earns the respect of his Daddy, the rest of the brothers and the supernatural community, and best of all, his place among the ol’ ladies.
This story is surprising in it’s telling about the deep love between Razor and Matty, both strong in their convictions but able to lovingly accommodate each others wants and needs.
All in all a sizzling hot story as always, and a reunion with loads of old friends and acquaintances from all the different parts of the Blevins Universe.
Wow. I really enjoyed this story on many levels and for many reasons, which I won’t overwhelm you with here but suffice to say…yea…wow.
Likes/loves/swoons: the insta-attraction. In this story, it worked quite well and set the pace for the story. I love, love, love all the little details in the story that would come out in a typical relationship (how he washes his hair, what he likes to eat, wear, etc.) that often tend to get overlooked in fiction in favor of other plot details, but Ms. Blevins manages to fit them seamlessly in to where you feel as though you’re witness to the growth of a relationship and not simply reading a story. I love how well the characters from the series work their way in/out of the story. I might have swooned a bit over the budding relationship (and then full blown) between Razor and Matty; particularly with all the agonizing internal thoughts as they worked through how best to communicate with each other and share their needs/aggravations. And their sex scenes will make you downright uncomfortable in all the right ways.
Dislikes: Need more.
If you’re on the fence trying to decide if you want to invest your time reading this series, that’s fine. The tops of fences can be a bit on the pokey side, so if you like that sort of thing, go right ahead. However, if you love stories that give you the right amount of details that you never knew you were missing in fiction, you enjoy both M/C and paranormal stories, and you want your stories about the relationship, then best start ordering the books now, because they are all like that. All. Of. Them.
And another ‘can’t stop once started’ read, just what I was hoping for!!! Seriously, this book had me drawn in and invested in the characters from the moment their eyes met across the room when Matty walked in the bar and Razor noticed him
I loved Razor, I loved that he wasn’t all sunshine and optimistic about being a gay man in an MC club. He knew people needed to accept and know him, as him, before he shared his sexuality. He knew that bringing his boyfriend into the mix wasn’t the same as bringing in a woman. The club didn’t know what to do about that either. He knows there is going to be prejudice, even when it is least expected, and to always be on alert. He also knows what he wants, what he needs, and who he is looking for, and Matty fits that so perfectly for him, that is the perfect part.
The fact that Razor is a leather daddy, kinky, sadist looking to line up his needs with a kinky, boy, masochist, just makes the story that much more delicious. The scenes where we get to have Matty and Razor visit with Abbott and Spence, or Bud and Nikki, those are crazy-hot good. The BDSM in this book, the scenes, well, they are the things of legends for their perfection. Razor really is the best daddy ever to his boy, and we get to see it all develop and happen
The best thing about the story is that it develops the characters, it develops the realtionship, and nothing is skimmed over or trivialized. It takes time to build a relationship, it takes time to make new friends, and it takes time to become yourself in new circumstances. Razor and Matty are attracted to each other instantly, and immediately want a relationship, but the time is taken to develop that, and deal with the fears and concerns from them both
I loved Razor and Matty because of who they were, and the who of them, makes a great tale to be told!
