Ann Mayburn – Iron Horse MC Series Reading Order

June 29, 2016 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Here’s a “new-to-me” biker series that has a ton of great reviews, all full length books, and book #4 was just released today. This author’s mafia series has been recommended to me by Kathy, and I’m assuming from the reviews, that biker-book-lovers will enjoy this one, too!

About book #1:

Before I met Smoke I’d never been kissed, really kissed, by a man, let alone a biker sex god bent on taking my virginity and my heart. I got dragged into the deadly world of the Iron Horse MC by my crazy twin sister who is engaged to the club’s President and even crazier mom who only cares about herself. Smoke has been assigned by the club to keep me safe even though he’s everything that I should be afraid of. read more

<— Oh this sounds like fun!!Β The future king chooses his handmaid to be his bride (it’s a political move) and she has no clue what to do… (and book #3 is going live tomorrow!!)

Ela:Β OH A NEW SHAY SAVAGE???!!!!!!!! AHOY!

LIVE!!! PAM GODWIN DARK READ ALERT!!! He's been emailing his dead girlfriend but the emails keep coming to her, instead...

β€œ...The boy’s message is meant for his dead girlfriend, but his anguish speaks to Rylee. It saves her life. Over the next decade, Tomas Dine continues to email his dead girl. As he evolves from a teenager into a hardened, vicious criminal, Rylee is there, reading every intimate word.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #enemiestolovers

He doesn’t know she exists. When she comes forward, he despises her, his cruelty unforgivable. But she doesn’t back down…”

BIKER SERIES ALERT!! THEY WERE RAISED TOGETHER…

β€œβ€¦My Dad adopted Damon when I was only five. We’ve always fought like brother and sister. My family is under attack and the one person I am supposed to be able to count on is Damon, my adopted brother.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #forbiddenlove

We can’t seem to stop fighting either. We used to be close. As a kid, I used to tell him I was going to marry him. I always get what I want...”

K. WEBSTER BOOK #2 in this trilogy is live!! SHE’S THE MAID & HE’S THE PRINCE & SHE’S FALLEN FOR HIM!!

β€œβ€¦Winston Constantine is no prince charming… I crave him so badly I think I might be losing my mind. He’s right in front of me, but he’s just as remote as my dreams of getting away from my stepbrothers.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #DarkReads

I keep playing his twisted games, and I want to stay just as distant as he is. But I can’t. I never could. I’ve fallen for him. Hopelessly. Irrevocably. But Winston isn’t a lover, he’s a business venture. A way for me to pay for college...”

THEY HATE EACH OTHER & HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER ON A RADIO SHOW (but they're not really "exes" - ruh roh!!!)

β€œβ€¦two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already despise each other.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #enemiestolovers

Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it’s this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it’s not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts. As the show gets bigger, so does their deception…”
