Ky Three years ago my father walked away. Away from our MC club, all his responsibilities, and me. We haven’t spoken since the day he handed me the keys to the kingdom. Shoved them down my throat was more like it. I hate him, and the new family he’s playing house with. He left his entire life behind for a woman he barely knows. But I’m strong, resilient, and don’t need a damn soul to survive. At … damn soul to survive.
At least, that’s what I thought…until she walked into my bar.
Kira
Someone is watching me. I can feel it. I wake up in the middle of the night freaked out of my mind, paranoid a stranger is there. My skin prickles every time I leave my house, because I know someone is following me.
I’m afraid. Alone. And there’s only one person left to turn to.
The stepbrother I never met. The man my stepfather speaks so highly about, but never sees. He’s the president of a notorious motorcycle club, and exactly the kind of person I need to protect me.
Little did I know, Ky Parish, freakin’ hates my guts.
Slashes in the Snow is an enemies to lovers, stepbrother romance, romantic suspense (emphasis on romance) with dark elements. Reader discretion is advised.

cute romance story. many obstacles and issues they face that were able to overcome at the very end. the hot and cold mood swings ky has was really relatable and adorable even though his actions missed me off haha. there was a lot of monologue going on where I prefer action but the whole twist behind the issues kira was facing did surprise me when I was assuming it was this or that. it was a good read. and that ending was so freaking cute.
We first meet Ky and Kira in Snowfall, the prequel book to this one. While you can read this book without reading the other, I highly recommend that you take the time to read Snowfall and get the set up for this book.
Ky and Kira are , technically, stepsiblings but their parents didn’t marry until they were both grown. It made that sometimes taboo idea more of a background aspect of the story.
I enjoyed this story. It provided a little bit of everything. The “taboo” stepsiblings, the MC lifestyle, enemies to lovers. It was a wonderfully written story that had just enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you turning those pages.
I really hope we see more from this group in the future.
I really enjoyed reading Kira and Ky’s story. I really loved tha Kira didn’t let Ky run all over her. She stood up to him and his moodiness. There were times I wanted to smack him.
As in true M. Never fashion this book was epic and impossible to put down once you start!! It checked every single box and I loved the suspense factor. This book also has a prequel that should be read first!

This was so good and had me turning pages like a crazy woman I adored and loved Ky and Kira so hard as they meet for the first time as stepsiblings was scary beyond belief with a lot of attitude but oh boy what a strong resilent woman Kira was and never backed down from nothing and stood her ground as they both fight their emotions and inner most thoughts and change each other. It was all about finding yourself and forgiveness and a second chance. These two were explosive together and poured their heart and soul into each other and it was the most beautiful scenes ever.
Oh I so loved this book! Ky and Kira…..
I love M Never books, she sucks you in form the first page. I wasn’t sure how much I would love Ky but damn, I fell hard and fast.
I love a good enemies to lovers kind of book.
Sweet and sexy wrapped up in suspense…5+ stars!!
This book has a prequel, Snowfall, which should be read first to get a full appreciation of the story.
Ky Parish, aka Slash, is now president of Baum Squad Mafia MC, a position held by Gerard Parish, his father until his dad renounced the title to marry the woman he loves. Now a grown man who survived being in the Marines, Ky feels the MC deserves all his loyalty. He’s hurting over his dad abandoning him for his new wife and family. And when he sees Kira Kendrick striding into his clubhouse bar, it takes all his control from exacting revenge. She is beautiful and assertive, but he senses her strength is a thin veneer.
Kira is desperate for help and the only man she can turn to is Gerard’s son. With her mom and stepfather out of the country on vacation, she’s left alone in a big mansion, and she can’t shake the feeling of being watched. Ky decides to play bodyguard for a month until she can join her parents, meanwhile, there are telltale signs that show she might be in danger.
I love how the story unfolds. Ms. Never weaves a well-written story filled with anguish, intense emotions, heartfelt connections, and suspense. Ky nicknames Kira as “Snow” with all the references for being an entitled princess. But as they learn more about each other, Ky realizes his princess is so deeply scarred and emotionally fragile. My heart broke for Kira reading about her painful childhood, and what she endured towards the end that had me holding my breath. The hardened heart Ky built begins to melt with this extraordinary woman.
Slashes In The Snow is an amazing story. The chemistry between the characters, and intensely deep emotions just blew me away. The whole story comes full circle with three amazing epilogues with Gerard, Ky, and Kira’s POVs. I’m still reeling from this story and it’s one I won’t soon forget. Ms. Never did a wonderful job. I received and voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Ooohh Yeah!
Now, thats what I am talking about!
My fellow readers!
M.Never has brought us a dark, gritty, suspenseful, fast-paced thrill fest of animalistic ( rawr ) protective vibes, with some primal lusting ( I mean P.R.I.M.A.L ) amongst the hate, and a one of a kind love weaving its way into dangerous territory romance! *Phew*
Once I started Ky and Kira’s tale of stalkers, unforgiving pasts, their searing connection, and that witty banter -there was no stopping my completely immersed self from finishing this book in one sitting! I
Excellent characters and a magnificent, unique storyline.
So much more than I could have ever anticipated from reading the Prequal Snowfall- it’s a Stepsibling, Mc, hotter than Hades, evil thrill ride and absolutely worth the read!
This has so many of my favorites: enemies to lovers, MC, dirty alphas, and my personal kryptonite, step-brothers. I loved Kira! She was a strong, self-possessed young lady, and I know she’s going to give Ky a run for his money. I loved Ky’s friends and I can’t wait for more Baum MC!
5 DARK GRITTY STARS!! This story has it all from dark, gritty, sweet, sexy to love. I loved seeing Ky and Kira’s story unfold, it was juicy and perfection. I was addicted to this book from the first page and did not stop until the last word in one sitting. I highly recommend this book, but you should definitely read the prequel first.
I was so excited to read about Ky and Kira after meeting them in the prequel about their parents, Snowfall. This takes place 3 years later when Kira is home alone and knows someone is stalking her. She seeks out her new step-brother, the President of a local MC club to protect her. They had never met because Ky was bitter and felt abandon when his father left the club. They get off to a rocky start, but their attraction is instantaneous. Ky is not the man Kira believed him to be, but she can’t stop thinking about the rugged, sexy biker. Kira is not the pampered princess that Ky believed her to be. She changes his world and he soon understands what his father feels. He feels protective of Kira and begins to trust her. As they begin to merge their very different worlds, events happen that will crush everything they’ve begun to build and maybe even kill them both. I love forbidden romance and this thrilling, steamy romance had twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what would happen next. This was a great start to Never’s new Baum Squad series and I can’t wait to read more about these sexy bikers!
Slashes in the Snow was exactly what I was hoping for!!!! This book held my attention from beginning till end. That mystery was a jaw dropping moment for me. Most of the books I read I can guess who it is but NOPE, not in this one. I loved that it kept me on the edge of my seat. Ky and Kira are amazing characters. I hope more of the Baum Squad MC will get their own books.
