Smokey: Satan's Fury MC (Book 5)

While some find that this could be read as a stand-alone, I DO NOT agree and HIGHLY recommend it be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction. There are multiple reoccurring characters, consecutive / concurrent timelines, and overarching themes.** There are scenes that may be difficult for sensitive readers. Examples are listed below. Also, if you have not read any of the previous stories in the series, then the following may contain spoilers. **I think I have a new favorite! There is just something about Smokey that engaged me almost from the beginning. Yes there are some common themes, but that is to be expected within a long-term series. It still didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment. The world building is good and this story introduces an apple orchard and MJ (along with her family) into the mix. All of which could play a role in future stories if desired. I liked MJ, aka Marley Jo, but the real draw for me was Smokey.A couple of things that distracted me was the letter MJ wrote to Smokey being shown before the story began. This to me was a part of the story that should have not been given away until the letter was left and Smokey read it. I think the impact would have been greater and I found myself thinking about when that would happen versus staying immersed in her dialogue.The last few stories seem more put together than some of the earlier stories in the series. There are a few grammatical issues, but not too many and nothing difficult to interpret. I had three that disrupted my reading enough to make a note of it (incorrect punctuation, incorrect word choice). I uploaded my notes to Goodreads.com for anyone interested. I mention these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.BLURB:SmokeyYou can't fight fate, especially when it brings you a girl like MJ Thompson. She wasn't just beautiful. No, she was so much more than that. She was smart with a smile full of magic and curves that drove me to distraction. I wanted her, but there was a catch: She was the lawyer handling my father's will. And as if that wasn't enough, her dad was a cop.I should've known better than to get mixed up with a girl like her, but I just couldn't resist. I wanted to feel her body pressed against mine. I wanted to hear her call my name while she was wrapped in my arms, so I ignored my instincts. I made her mine. After one night, she had me, heart and soul. Every ounce of doubt, every second thought, vanished.Life was good. I had my woman by my side. The club's new pipeline was moving forward, and I was coming to terms with my past. Then, without warning, it all fell apart. I lost her. She skipped town, leaving only a note and a lot of unanswered questions. I thought I had to let her go, but she had a secret. After discovering what she was hiding, there was nothing I wouldn't do to have her back in my arms.Sometimes the road takes you on an unexpected turn, and you end up exactly where you're meant to be.⛔️ Contains references to, or scenes detailing, subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some, including, but not limited to: adult language; derogatory terms; mental health challenges; steamy adult intimate scenes with mild elements of dominance, submission, restraints, sensory deprivation, etc.; violence such as kidnapping, abduction, murder, death, torture, assault, fighting, betrayal, coercion, blackmail, stalking, threats, trafficking, mafia / cartels, arson, gun running, drug use, drug distribution, etc.

I have enjoyed the whole Satan's Fury MC series, but must admit that Smokey is my favorite of the series so far! I even love the cover photo - that compelling look you just want to be directed at you!Smokey, aka Evan Abrams meets Marley Jo Thompson in the parking lot at the local diner when everything was closing down. Her car was broken down, and she emptied the contents of her purse on the pavement, and was swearing a blue streak when Smokey got to her. His first look at her took him completely by surprise as she was dressed really classy, and was absolutely stunning. He ended up giving her a ride home on the back of his bike, and realized how much he enjoyed having her snuggled in behind him.Smokey's father passed away, and he didn't know it until Marley went to his childhood home as her father's lawyer. She needed to give Smokey and his sister Shelby the copies of the will, and 2 letters she had for Smokey too. It was a surprise when she saw who Smokey really was, and his surprise to find out from MJ that his Dad had died. There were a lot of hard feelings between Smokey and his father. Smokey and Shelby were born late in life to parent's that were so fixated on the apple orchard that they had no time for their kids. Smokey finally got fed up with it, and he left, joining the Satan's Fury MC much to his father's dismay and disgust. The rift between them opened wider, and no matter how hard Smokey tried he could not get his father to accept the life choice he made with the MC. Smokey's Mom became ill, and her illness was made worse with the falling out between her son and husband.MJ and Smokey seemed to get closer and closer, but when her father, the county sheriff found out he shoved a folder of violently murdered victim pictures in front of her, and told her he was sending her to her aunt's house until she got over this thing with the criminal from the MC. If Marley didn't do as her father asked he threatened to get Smokey sent to jail, and all the MC members as well. He'd close that club one way or another. Marley was heartbroken, but did what her father asked rather than risk Smokey or the MC members going to jail.Smokey was devastated when Marley just up and left with just a vague letter of why she was leaving. Smokey tries to find her, but her brother won't tell him anything, her aunt won't tell him anything, and Marley thinks he never even bothered to try and find her. She missed him so much, and her aunt tried to get her to move on, go back to work, but that was not what Marley wanted at all.Smokey and Shelby decided to do what they could with their parent's home, and the apple orchard. They relied heavily on their father's foreman, and his son to keep things running when Smokey couldn't be there. Shelby had two children, and a car salesman for a husband that had no idea how to run an apple orchard. Smokey moved into the house, and decided to have one the MC brothers do some renovations on the house and barn. It was something he and Marley had talked about, but then she left.This couple has some serious hurdles to overcome, but Smokey finds out why and who were behind her father's suspension, and he tries to help Marley's father from going to prison himself. Marley is determined to be with Smokey now no matter what.Smokey, MJ and Shelby make the apple orchard business something they know their parents would be proud of. Smokey and MJ deserve their happy ending!The was such a great MC read for me! Can't wait for more from this MC and L. Wilder!!!

I couldn’t put this book down! It had so many twists/turns it kept me on edge the entire time! It was love at first sight for Smoky and MJ and the chemistry between them was off the charts hot! They found their HEA despite her father’s interference. I loved this story and the world of the Satan’s Fury and can’t wait for more!!

It is the story of growth through change and strengthening of a brotherhood who would do anything for each other as a family should. Enjoy!

What a great book!! I just absolutely loved it and I can't wait to read the next book in this series! A definite must read!! Happy Reading!!!! :)

It’s well worth reading if you like a light MC genre with a great story that allows for wonderful characters to develop and the romantic relationship to take priority in the story. Well worth your valuable time to read it.

Love Satan's Fury!

Great read. Intertwines with the other books of Satan’s Fury perfectly. I can’t wait until the next book in series comes out.

I have loved every book in this series, and Smokey did not disappoint!!!
