BLURB:

A man without scars never had to fight for something he believed in.

A new relationship takes time and effort. A new relationship with Orlando de la Pena takes a whole lot more. As a Dom, Rogue knows what he wants, but Orlando refuses to fit neatly into the box labeled ‘submissive’. He’s feisty, demanding and far too pretty for his own good.

Orlando loves Rogue and he’s learning to love The Wyverns, but he hates being stuck out in the desert. Finding a niche in the world of bikes and fierce warriors is difficult, and Orlando’s impatience gets the better of him. He walks out into the desert and runs in to an antisocial diamondback.

Rogue has more than one problem to deal with. The Longhorns MC issues a challenge for territory. The Bellazi cartel is out for Wyvern blood. The Wyverns are under siege, and Rogue has to work out how to save not just Orlando, but all of them.

REVIEW:

In Deathtrap, we pick up the story of The Wyverns shortly after the events in Mantrap – The Wyverns #1. Orlando has settled in to the headquarters of the Wyverns Motorcycle Club. What started as a kidnapping, has turned into much more.

Other people are involved though, and some of them would like to get their hands on Orlando, including Orlando’s father, who is licking his wounds after 12 of his men failed to overpower the Wyverns to “free” Orlando.

But there are other forces at work. A competing motorcycle club is trying to take over the Wyvern’s territory, a notorious drug cartel is after the Wyverns for a drug deal gone bad, and Orlando is getting bored with being locked in the house 24/7.  We knew from the previous book that Orlando was a brat, but in this installment he shows just what a bratty little sub he can be.  It is only Rogue who is keeping him from getting a good solid spanking from the rest of the club!

When Orlando sneaks out of the house, he is bitten by a large rattlesnake and has to be rushed to the hospital. But how will they do that with the competing club lined up across the road cutting them off?

I’m enjoying the story of the Wyverns. I really liked Mantrap when I reviewed it as part of the Hard Riders Anthology. For those of you who missed that review, it is here. I highly recommend you read Mantrap before reading Deathtrap for continuity and character development background.  This book does contain some very mild BDSM, and some mild violence, but nothing that should put anyone off.

I recommend both novellas.  And Ms. Somerton….I hope that this isn’t the end of The Wyverns!
