In the beginning, there was one determined man and one strong woman. In their struggles, they created a dynasty.
Brick had one mission since he was a boy: become a Dragon Runner.  The motorcycle club meant everything to him. Blood and bone from his brothers paid the Dragon’s dues time and time again. And watching it split apart was more than he could handle.
Then he met Betsey.
An unwanted daughter born into abuse, Betsy lived her life beatdown under a rigid thumb, never allowed to be herself.  Her one goal was to leave her abusive family and be free.  She fought on the losing end of that fight.
Then she met Brick.

I just love the Dragon Runners MC series written by author ML Nystrom. I have loved each story, but Brick maybe one of my favorites! In this story, we are shown how the MC originally was with Brick’s father as the president. The club was into criminal enterprises which led to several of the members becoming corrupt. Brick proves himself a leader within the Dragon Runners and capable of turning them around to earn legal profits.

Each book in the series shows us another piece into the Dragon Runners world. Brick tells the story of how he and Betsey met and fell in love. It was a captivating read, and I read it in one sitting! My only wish was that it was expanded into a longer story. I definitely wasn’t ready for it to end.

Mute is the first book in the Dragon Runners MC series as well as the debut novel for author ML Nystrom.  I have been feeling in a rut lately and this book really sunk its claws into me.  I fell hard, and I didn’t want the story to end.  The storyline was well developed, and I was hooked from the very beginning.

In this story, Kat has had a rough childhood and is doing the best she can to put herself through nursing school.  She lives paycheck to paycheck and was looking for a new job.  Luckily, Kat was able to get a new job at the River’s Edge Bar, which is owned and run by the Dragon Runners MC.  Mute is the MCs enforcer and works at the bar as the bouncer.  He is unable to speak due to a horrible accident when he was younger.  Mute and Kat have fought their attraction to each other but eventually was unable to ignore their pull on each other.

Absolutely loved this story and can’t wait for Stud, the next book in the series!

I have been looking forward to Stud, the second novel in the Dragon Runners MC series by author M.L. Nystrom.  I love Ms. Nystrom’s debut novel, Mute, which is the first book in the series.  Stud plays a pretty big part within Mute, and I just couldn’t wait to read his story. I believe you can read Stud as a standalone romance, although starting from the beginning will help you to fully understand the backstories.  Just know that it’s not mandatory.

Stud is such a playboy, and I wasn’t sure who could tame his active social life.  When we were introduced to Eva, I immediately loved her.  She has five older brothers and works with them in a construction business with their dad.  She has had to fight to prove herself throughout her whole life, and I knew she would be perfect for Stud.  There were a couple interesting things we find out about Stud, and I just love how Eva always knew what to say.

The storyline was engaging, and I was drawn in from the very first page!

A definite add to your TBR list!

Blue is the third book in the Dragon Runners MC series by author ML Nystrom.  This book tells the story of Blue and Psalm and can be read as a standalone romance.  Blue is a bit different than the other books in the series.  You see, Blue is the son of Brick, the president of the Dragon Runners MC. Since his parents run the club, he is an honorary member of the club. Although he is not involved in the day to day dealings of the club since he is a deputy police officer.

Currently, Blue is divorced and has joint custody of his two children. He is trying to get full custody of them since Jonelle, his ex-wife is really bad news. As Blue fights to get his kids, the romance often takes a back seat to the drama.  As the drama unfolds, I was on the edge of my seat and read it in one sitting!

I truly enjoyed this story, but I did miss the day to day life of the Dragon Runners.  I’m looking forward to reading Table’s story, which is coming out in December.

A definite add to your TBR list!

ML Nystrom has done it again!

Table is the fourth book in the Dragon Runners MC series, and it’s currently one of my favorites! I have wanted to read Table’s story since Stud, the second book in the series.  Let me tell you, it was so worth the wait!  The story can be read as a standalone romance, but I always recommend reading a series in order. There are small background plots that carry on from book to book.  Just know that it’s not mandatory, just a suggestion.

It’s so fabulous to be back with the men and women of the Dragon Runners! Table’s story is full of drama, suspense, steam, and I was hooked from the very first page.  Table left his MC chapter to become a nomad in order to take care of his daughter and help out on his family farm.  Lori recently moved into the apartment above the garage at Table’s family farm.  She and Table have chemistry, but Lori has a past that she’s running from. Table can see that she’s afraid of something, but he doesn’t know what.  Can Table help Lori before her past comes and finds here?

Absolutely Love Table and can’t wait for more!!

A definite add to your TBR list!

I’ve had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I’m a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it’s only fitting I should write a few myself!
I’ve spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn’t mean I’m pigeon-holed into one mold.  I’ve been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, “Life’s too short to ignore the opportunities.”   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!
