Sebastian: Thunder Valley MC Book 3 by Susan Lower | A Review

Hi Readers!!!!

Welcome to Quills and Pages. Today I will be reviewing Sebastian by Susan Lower. This book is the third in the Thunder Valley MC series. As the name suggests it's Romantic Suspense and there are motorcycle clubs. And it's a closed-door romance. For all those girlies who enjoy closed-door romances, this one is for you.

Also Thank you to Susan Lower (Instagram) and Fatima her PA (Instagram) for providing me with the review copy (arc).

BLURB

Haunted by a past mistake, an undercover cop risks everything to protect the family he left behind.

Once a decorated cop, Sebastian’s now a fugitive with a bounty on his head. Haunted by a failed undercover operation, he swore off motorcycle clubs and women.

Caitlyn thought she had escaped the clutches of her abusive ex, but when he resurfaced with threats to take her son, she became trapped and desperate.

Sebastian risks exposing his true identity, jeopardizing his family's safety to return to his hometown and pay an old debt.

When the web of deceit tightens, Caitlyn must make a heart-wrenching choice. Can she trust the enigmatic biker to help protect her son, or will the truth tear them apart?

MY REVIEW
The story revolves around Caitlyn and Sebastian. Caitlyn is a single mom struggling between her job, caring for her sons, and her problematic father. On top of that, her ex showed up and she is now struggling with steering clear of him because he is trouble and not of the good kind. Sebastian is an ex-cop hiding to get away from his mysterious and dark past. He has returned to his hometown to keep an eye on his family but he is doing it while in hiding and under a different name. I love Romantic Suspense with biker clubs in the mix. I read this kind of story after a long time and it is a breath of fresh air.

To all those people who love good old closed-door Christian romances, this book is a must-read. it has a gripping plot. I was most intrigued by the story of Sebastian. I wanted to know what exactly in the past. What happened to that girl he was trying to protect. I don't want to spoil but it's a really good plot. It's the third book in the series but you can read it as a stand-alone. There were moments when I didn't know what was happening because I hadn't read the other books. It's all set in the same world and some things are connected. To understand them better read the other ones too but if you don't want then that's okay too. On the whole, the book is really good. Highly recommend.

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients. Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
