A beautiful woman called Krissi. A very handsome biker bartender called Ruger. A one-night stand. Or is it? A Harley. Wind in the hair. A wonderful outing. Lots of girls. A mustang. Taken. A beating. A violent father. Switchblade. An escape. A warning. Such a great story and Ruger is such a caring man. Loved it.
This is the first book in the new series Demented Souls starts out with Krissi going into their bar run by Ruger. They are attracted to each other and start to spend time together but she does not tell him that her father runs the same MC that is trying to take over their territory so when she gets kidnapped he is determined to get her back. There is suspense and hot romance in the well written book.
Secrets have a way of coming out when you least epect them, for Rugar his club and bar are his life, hes never been drawn to a woman until Krissi walks in. but is their whilr wind romance about to be over before its truly begun, when club wars bring Krissi’s father into the mix all hell’s about to rain down on them. Can Rugar trust Krissi after her secrets spill? well written action packed, suspense filled twists, steamy hot scenes and more!

DNF This was just so bad I couldn’t get past the first 20 pages.
I really enjoyed this book! The secrets, twists, and nonstop action in the lives of Krissi and Ruger kept me entertained from the beginning to the end. Krissi, the sexy, sassy, heroine, and Ruger, the strong alpha male, are captivating. This author knows how to capture the reader’s attention with her mesmerizing characters. I could not put this book down!
Ruger is a really solid start to the series. Krissi is a self reliant college student with plenty of street smarts. Seeking familiarity she steps into Ruger’s bar and nothing will be the same. Their chemistry is instantaneous, it’s fun watching them fall into each other.
The underlying theme is secrets. Krissi and Ruger both have them in spades. And as time goes on and their relationship deepens it’s getting harder to keep the secrets hidden. In the end they will find out how much trust they actually have in their relationship and how much truth they can handle.
I love that Krissi is not a damsel in distress. She is comfortable in her own skin and a really fun character to inhabit for a while. They are some side characters that are introduced and have enough interest peaked that I would be interested in continuing in the series. I will admit I saw the big secret coming but it did not diminish the overall experience. And I can’t wait to see how it plays out moving forward.
The narration is really great. His voice is easy to listen to and kept me engaged through the whole book.
I think this could be a great starter MC book for someone who is curious but isn’t comfortable with the darker themes they can contain. Also for fans of heroines with some grit and a backbone.

I can’t even tell you how much I LOVED this story!! The characters are outstanding! I throughly enjoyed learning about them. Ruger!?! OMG! Could he be any more possessive? I loved it!! All the growlyness and the sexiness! Day-um! I want a Ruger for my own! Krissi is a strong confident woman. She takes no crap from anyone being a daughter of the Prez of an MC. I can not get enough of their connection together. I was literally listening with bated breath for their next encounter. It’s not only HOT but sweet and tender.
The rest of the MC are a sight to behold. Tuck, Crash, Gizmo and Sadist etc. How can these guys be anything but interesting with names like that?! I am waiting for these boys to get their HEA.
I listened to this on audio and BOY am I glad I did. D.C Cole narrated this and he did wonderful. This is a first for me with the narrator and author. So I was pleased and look forward to more of these guys. Next please!
Wow this book was great! I loved Ruger from the start. I knew there was a secret the club was hiding from Krissi but had no idea it was THAT! Gah they got me! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Wow. Ruger was hot from the start and him and Krissi were electric. I loved their story!!
Ruger and Krissi meet when she targets his MC bar. She feels at home there and so she goes in orders a few drinks to take the edge off and then gets ready to leave when sparks fly with Ruger.
I felt like this story flowed nicely and had a good pace to it. I was surprised with Krissi being targeted and was very wrong when it was because of Ruger and not who she is.
Ok so I have to talk about this twist. This book got me. I never expected that and that was the last thing I expected.
Ruger
Demented Souls, Book 1
By: Melissa Stevens
Narrated by: D.C. Cole
I am intrigued by motorcycle club books, and when this came out I was very excited! I couldn’t wait to start it ,and as I listened, was pleasantly surprised by the way this story develops. Ruger is part of the Demented Souls MC and when Krissi comes into their bar, he is taken with her. The attraction mutual, these two are meant to be together. Or are they? Krissi has a past that keeps haunting her. Running is not helping and when it catches up with her at the Demented Souls, things start to get dangerous. Will it be too much to keep these two apart? I loved Ruger. I found his character to be the alpha male type I love, the rugged, protective man that will do anything to keep his woman. Krissi is a little harder to like for me, but I think she is meant to be that way. Detached from so many, she is much more distant in her commitment. This book has twists and turns you will not expect, great secondary characters and ones I can’t wait to have their own stories told.
Now the narration. DC Cole is one of my favorites, and each time I hear him, he gets better. His performance of this book is spot on, nailing Ruger down with a raspy, sexy voice when with Krissi, but a deadly voice when dealing with danger. He seamlessly flows from Ruger to Krissi and lets us flow with the story. I loved his portrayal of this book.

The plot was well written and well planned and the characters were so strongly written that I was glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page! I look forward to reading more from this author!
Krissi’s Dad was the head of a motorcycle club involved in illicit actions. She traveled to live 500 miles away from him only to meet Ruger who belonged to a motorcycle club. This particular story is better than most of the other MC stories I have read. I also found the characters to be vivid and portrayed extremely well. Huge surprise at the end. Very good read!

An absolutely fantastic page-turner! This story captivated me from the beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It is well written, moves along at a brisk pace, and the character development is noticeable and amazing. The suspense, action, danger, witty banter, humour, and brotherhood kept me interested until the very end and left me wanting more of the ‘Demented Souls’. The characters are amazing and perfect together; their chemistry is instant, potent, and off the charts. Definitely recommended!

Krissi wanted a fresh start from her fathe’s MC but missed the familiar feeling of a biker bar. After work she stops in, meeting Ruger. As their relationship deepens, danger lurks. Melissa Stevens is an excellent storyteller, who had me reading this novel nonstop.

This is the first book in the demented Souls series to a new MC. Krissi decides to leave home behind but finds herself drawn to the Critters bar as it has a few bikes parked outside it. I guess it’s harder than one would think to leave home’s comforts. You see Krissi is used to the mc life and attempted to leave it behind but can’t shake it. While at the bar she finds she really is attracted to the bartender and can’t seem to forget about the impression he has left with her. Ruger is just as interested in Krissi and it all starts with a ride on his bike. In my opinion, one doesn’t need much more than that. This book has a suspenseful twist to it as well as the hot and sexiness from the chemistry that flames these two characters. However, once all the chips fall and a few facts are disclosed is a HEA in store for Ruger and Krissi?

4.5 stars. Krissi’s father is the president of an MC that she left behind to get away from him. Apparently he is the head of the Mob of the MCs over many states in the Southwest. She left pretty much with the clothes on her back and none of her father’s dirty gifts or dirty money. She works as a waitress and is going to college full time. When she needs a night out, she goes to a biker bar since it is a familiar environment. There she meets Ruger who is member of the local MC. He doesn’t seem to be an officer however he is included in all the decision making meetings. When his MC steals from another club that is abusing women they retaliate by taking Krissi and beating her up. That doesn’t sit well with Ruger or her father. There is lots of drama and action…..and secrets to be told. Nicely written and good read.
