Excellent review and sample. This chick lit is full of romance as well as a serial killer. The characters are well described, even without the cover. Mature audiences would be recommended.

I think the title reveals a lot about the content of this novel, and I hope Dante and his newfound love for Tally flourish with the settlement of the vengeance.

'Official Review: Dante's Demons' by K. L. Barstow provides the readers with a concept of the romance story. It explains the minute details of the author's work. The point that this is a story of romance and vengeance is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the book is recommendable to readers who enjoy vigilante justice is remarkable. Nice to learn that the book is perfect for a rainy afternoon or a day at the beach!

The cover caught my attention but the review hooked me! First, the two don't seem to go together. Second, the book sounds much more intense than the cover. Finally, this seems like a beautiful mix of thriller, crime and romance. How could I not by intrigued such a mix?? I cannot wait to try this book! Thank you for a wonderful review, the details and grabbing attention before the reading begins!

Dante and his gang of bikers dispense their own brand of justice on the streets. Will they find the serial rapist that they are looking for? I will pass on this one due to severe language, violence, rape, and erotic content. However, the book reviewer wrote an informative summary and spoke highly of the book.

Thank you for your great review. From the sample, I would have to agree with you that it definitely pulled the reader in from the start. While I do like romance books once in a while, I'm not a big fan of rape or erotic scenes. I think I will pass on it, but can definitely see many others thoroughly enjoying this book.

It seems very interesting to have a romance story with all the drama and excitement of a new romance, but add the story of a crime, the mystery, and the search for justice.
All the characters have their purpose and importance to the overall story.
Great review, this completely got my attention.

I don't enjoy reading romance, especially when there are erotic scenes involved. This book is targeted to specific audience who love mystery and steamy romance. Every character seems to have special skills in finding the suspect of serial sexual assault. Congratulations on the BOTD.

It's always nice to read a romance novel, but a romance novel mixed with crime, mystery, and tension is something I wouldn't miss! I'm not a huge fan of erotic scenes, but as long as the plot is good, I don't mind them. Thank you for the review.

This is not the type of book I am usually attracted to. Dante seems exactly like a walking red flag and the type of character we should stop writing and reading about

"Dante's Demons" by K.L. Barstow. An interesting book, talks about Dante the owner of the club, who have to help Tally, find who brutalized her sister. But in another way round it brought Dante and Tally together, admiring and attracted to each other. This book is a must read for me and it's well detailed and edited. Congrats on your #BOTD.

The book appears to investigate the notion of vigilantism through the characters' perspectives on revenge and justice. It will appeal to audiences that appreciate a steamy romance mixed with a thriller.

MC romances is one of my favorite genres. If written well, you feel like you are a part of the club that stands for what is right. After reading the sample, this MC romance feels like the guys in this club fight for what is right. Great review!
