SophieAll I did was try to help my best friend escape her abusive boyfriend. And for that I ended up in a wheelchair. Life’s no longer worth living. No man will want me now. But my nightmare is only beginning. Ethan wants me as leverage to get his woman back. I end up under the protection of the Satan’s Devils, an outlaw motorcycle club in Arizona. The woman I was would have been in her element … been in her element among a group of handsome, rugged bikers; the disabled woman I am now feels scared and vulnerable, and soon I find this isn’t the safest place to hide.
But with a contract out on me, there’s nowhere else for me to go. There’s one reason for me to stay, the VP of the Satan’s Devils who teaches me to feel like a whole woman again.
Wraith
She doesn’t fit into our world. Fuck, even if she wasn’t in that damn wheelchair she’d be out of her element. But as soon as I saw her something attracted me to her.
From the start I wanted her, but she thinks she’s undesirable and is scared of taking a man to her bed as though her disability defines who she is. I’m going to need to teach her she’s wrong.
But before I can take my chance everything goes to shit. She’s under our protection, but we fail to protect her from one of our own.

Whew! Plot was well-developed and definitely an original storyline with tragic circumstances at the beginning. I was definitely hooked from the first chapter. We get to watch our heroine develop and grow. I really enjoyed getting to know Wraith. I loved the way he was with Sophie. I enjoy stories with multiple characters especially if I know I can look forward to their love stories. I will be reading the next books in the series. The author did a great job of bringing some issues forward that are overlooked when it comes to a disabled or handicapped individual. I’m interested to see if this was something she wanted to do with just this story, or if other stories in this series deal with issues or trauma. Overall, great read!
Jumping into this story, I knew I would be in for a wild ride. What really pulled me wanting to reading this story all starts with Sophie. Sophie had been injured, losing a leg below the knee and is a wheel chair. She’s being hunted by her best friend’s ex boyfriend and her saving grace is a biker gang called the Satan’s Devil.
My favourite thing about Sophie is she isn’t just the girl next door. She’s got a mouth and isn’t afraid to use it. She struggles with her trauma and tries to overcome it and grow from it too. The helping hand comes from the most unlikely of places, from Wraith. Meeting Wraith, the VP in the gang, he is the walking-talking epitome of a VP biker gang member. His inner thoughts are laughable but when I wasn’t in his head, it felt like I was reading a totally different character.
This story felt like a movie, as it is fast pace and full of action, and if your into biker gangs than this would grab your interest.
Book Review: Turning Wheels: Satan’s Devils #1
Author: Manda Mellett
Five Stars
Manda Mellett is a new to me author, thank goodness for my Kindle Unlimited subscription I get to meet all these new authors and fall in love with their characters and stories.
Turning the Wheels is a 1% Motorcycle Club book about the Satan’s Devils and Sophie. Sophie came to them to hide from a man who was trying to hunt her down to torture and kill.
Wraith turns into her hero in this story, among other things.
There are many twists and turns to this story and to find that Sophie acutally has a few things in common with the men in Satan’s Devils is really cool. The way they come together to help each other is pretty cool.
Loved this book and I will be picking up more of them.

Being a die-hard SOA fan, I had to read this one. Sophie went through an immense struggle. Going from leading an independent life to having it shattered in one day and having to learn to be independent all over again takes so much. Who could blame her for having a pity party? The shock of Horse kicking down her front door after he hears her crash trying to get to the front door would be a huge shocker too. I don’t know about anyone else but sexy MC don’t come kicking my door in. I had thought maybe Horse and Sophie were going to hook up but the story comes with a few twists you never quite see coming. Horse gets her to Arizona in the good old USA to hide out with Satan’s Devil’s. He leaves to go do the jobs painting motorcycles that he his hired to do. Wraith, another sexy MC, ends up falling for her and taking her under his wing. The whole club protects her when they see the video of what happened. Those that don’t end up ant food. With the help of Peg, she gains confidence to be independent without the wheelchair. She also begins to fit in with the MC, which surprises all. The characters felt so realistic. You felt the emotions with the characters in the story. If someone died, you felt it., etc. Best MC book series I’ve read.
A great suspenseful romance between two unlikely people. Turning Wheels: Satan’s Devils Book 1 by Manda Mellett is a great love story full of challenges for Sophie and Wraith. A woman who is completely out of her element and hiding for her life and the Vice President of Satan’s Devils motorcycle club. Danger and violence around every corner as their relationship grows. With such steamy love scenes, and great character development I can’t wait to read book 2 and see what else is going on with the Satan’s Devils motorcycle club.
Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC #1) by Manda Mellett. I love Manda Mellett and this series is going to be just as great as all the others! This book will keep you turning pages all day as fast as you can! Its the story of Sophie who is disabled due to a trying to to escape her abusive boyfriend and she feels like her life is over. She thinks no man will ever want to be with her again. The depression and insecurity is bad. Due to her ex she begins to get protection from the Satan’s Devils, a motorcycle club in Arizona. If this had happened before the accident she would have been all over being around all these bad biker’s but right now she feels insecure. When Wraith is set to watch over Sophie he’s upset because she will stick out like a sore thumb being in a wheelchair but something attracts him to her. He can’t help being almost obsessed with her. Sophie is attracted to Wraith but is too insecure to act on it. Wraith finally figures out a way to make her realize her worth and tries to keep her safe in the process. This is such a good book, emotional and romantic.

I absolutely adore this book and this author! Turning Wheels is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett. I love this book for a multitude of reasons. This author really knows how to grab your attention from the very beginning and for me that is HUGE! My attention has to be caught from the get go or else I will stop reading it. This book…I started from beginning to end in a matter of a couple of days. I did not want to put it down! This book follows Sophie who was tragically injured and left in a wheel chair. Then it turns out that someone is after her with a contract to kill her. Wraith is the Satan’s Devils MC Vice President. The MC has been brought in to protect her. What they didn’t realize is there is an undeniable connection that is formed between Wraith and Sophie. Sophie is also left depressed with no self-esteem left. So what does Wraith do? He shows her how much she is worth exactly albeit through a bunch of twists and turns that no one sees coming! I love these two and the sass only a British woman can have! This book does not disappoint and neither do the rest of Manda’s books!
Wraith is the VP of the Satan’s Devils. Sophie was crippled by a madman and is in a wheelchair. She thinks no one could want her, but she is so wrong. Wraith fell in love at first sight. For him that’s all it took. Turning Wheels is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC series. Manda Mellett has what it takes to write a compelling MC novel. She keeps her readers attention from the begging of the novel to the end. I definitely recommend this author and novel to anyone who likes reading MC novels.
I have been in an MC romance reading mood and Turning Wheels (Stan’s Devils MC, Book 1) by Manda Mellett was the perfect addition to my growing obsession with this trope. If you like a drama with suspense and a romance that leaves you needing a cold shower, you need to read this book. Sophie and Wraith’s story had me on the edge of my seat and stopping a few times for a cool down from the hotness. I don’t want to give too much away, just take my option and go read this book Besides the main characters, the secondary characters had me wanting to know more and looking forward to finding out their stories.
I am new to this author and she did not disappoint. This was an amazing read. I finished in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I was hooked from beginning to end. Awesome start to the series. I can’t wait to read more.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book. I truly stepped outside my comfort zone on this one, but am I glad I did.
We follow the story of Sophie, who is a great representation that we don’t see much of in reading. She’s truly a breath of fresh air and then enters in Wraith. Our biker man, the VP of the Satan’s Devils.
The story progresses truly at a wonderful speed, leaving you wanting more. Be warned there is some graphic content for some. However, if you love the motorcycle club atmosphere and all the emotions that come with it this is for you.
This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good MC story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the Satan’s Devil MC and now I’m addicted. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Turning Wheels: Satan’s Devils #1 by Manda Mellet
5 out of 5 stars
What a ride!!! This book is a grand mixture of fun, action, laughs, heart, tragedy, and steam. This book has so many exciting twists and revelations, I could barely keep my wheels on the road.
Sophie is young, fun, and social. She has a job she mostly enjoys and is living a life in London with her best friend, Zoe, by her side. Zoe is excited to start a new job for an enigmatic billionaire. Zoe soon meets and starts dating the billionaire. As Zoe’s relationship progresses, Sophie feels that Zoe is pulling away until she is gone. Suddenly, Zoe shows up on Sophie’s doorstep asking for help to get away from the abusive billionaire. Wanting to protect her friend, Sophie more than willingly helps out. The billionaire’s desire to keep Zoe shows no mercy.
Sophie is trying to recover her life after the tragedy that has changed it forever. Sophie is sitting in her living room one day trying to decide if she is happy about returning to work when there is suddenly someone banging on her door and ringing the bell. When Sophie falls trying to get to the door, the stranger breaks down her door. A massive mountain of tattooed biker appears in front of her telling Sophie she is in danger. Sophie doesn’t believe the biker until the billionaire’s henchman arrives with a request for her presence.
The biker, Horse, decides that the best way to keep Sophie safe is to take her with him on his yearly trip to the United States. Sophie shockingly finds herself in an outlaw biker resort in Arizona. Sophie lands in tattooed Alpha-male biker heaven but can she stay there knowing that just her presence puts their life in danger? Can Sophie adapt to the biker lifestyle?
Through it all, Sophie discovers that these men and their families are not what she thought they were. Sophie discovers a kindred spirit in Peg, friends in Slick and Viper, and sisters in Carmen, Crystal and Sandy. Will she discover how to love again with Wraith? Her rule of one night only will be tested by Wraith. Can he understand why there can never be more? When her secret location is compromised, will she allow this new family she has found to keep her safe even at the risk of their death?
I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat. This book has it all!! I am looking forward to the next chapter of this series.
This book is about an outlaw biker group living their lifestyle. There is coarse language, discussions of domestic violence, and an attempted sexual assault. Some readers may be triggered.
Turning Wheels is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett.
I’m already a fan of this author so I was really looking forward to starting a new series.
This book did not disappoint! The story had me hooked from the start, Sophie’s story is an emotional one and the author isn’t afraid to tackle difficult issues, although it is done with care, you can feel Sophie’s pain. There are a lot of raw emotions to process, and a few surprises along the way.
There is so much love and life throughout this story that the pages just kept turning and I read it in a day. The characters are already well developed and I’m looking forward to getting to know a few more of their stories.
A fantastic start to a new series!
Sophie finds out that her best friend, Zoe, is being abused by her boyfriend, Ethan St Johns-Davies. Zoe needs money, and Sophie is more than willing to help after seeing her friend all banged up. Unfortunately for Sophie, Mr. St Johns-Davies is not the type of person that you mess with on a whim. She finds that out the hard way.
Now, Sophie is wheel-chair bound and is in a deep depression regarding her life. But good news comes in an unlikely man who goes by Horse. Zoe has finally escaped the grasp of St Johns-Davies. Horse decides it’s best if Sophie leaves the country for a while, so he takes her to his friends, the Satan’s Devils MC on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona.
The Devils have decided to house Sophie and protect her. Can they protect her from St. Johns-Davies? What other kinds of threats will come her way?
I am not a fan of motorcycle club books usually, but I was drawn into this story quickly with Horse being the knight in black jeans and a black leather jacket. Sophie’s story is one that many should look to for how to get through those difficult valleys that life can throw at you. Great read!
Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC, #1) by Manda Mellett is a five star book from start to finish. This is the first book I have ever read by this author and to say she now has a new fan would be a huge understatement! I am hooked on the Satan’s Devils and I will absolutely be making sure I read the rest of this amazing series.
In Turning Wheels we meet Sophie, injured and broken after a terrible accident that drastically changes the course of her life and Wraith the VP of the outlaw motorcycle club the Satan’s Devils. The club offers Sophie their protection when asked by a friend to help her because the man suspected of hurting her wants to basically finish the job. Thrust into a world she really doesn’t understand Sophie finds an inner strength she didn’t realise she had but still fears her heart isn’t strong enough to handle her growing love for the gorgeous, powerful VP. With so much going on can she trust in him and her feelings to truly move forward with her life? And what about Wraith, He has never EVER thought he would want a permanent woman in his life but Sophie is changing that idea real quick. Can he convince her to truly trust him and join his world?
The characters created by Ms Mellett are full of depth and heart that going into the book you might not expect. There are steamy moments that only make you fall more in love with these characters and their deep connection. Some Preconceptions you might have about bikers are put to the test. This club and their connection and commitment to each other might even make you a little envious. Do yourself a huge favour and read this book! you will not be disappointed!
5/5 Stars
Turning Wheels: Satan’s Devils MC #1 by Manda Mellett
Another great read by Mellett. Mellett has this way of making readers come back. Every read by Mellett is just amazing and I can’t wait for the next one.
Sophie is living her life when things change. Helping a friend escape an abusive relationship made her lose a leg. Now her friend has left again and is afraid the ex will go after Sophie. The quote I chose for Sophie is: “You fell at his f***ing feet? Way to go, Zoe! What happened next?”
Wraith is VP for the Arizona chapter. When a friend calls saying that he’s gotta protect a girl the chapter helps out. Once there Wraith has found himself smitten. The quote I chose for Wraith is: “We gotta hope he hasn’t got the same clout over here and gets the feds involved.”
Highly recommended for MC Romance lovers.
