Let’s take a a little look inside of Bay by Gianni Holmes, the first book in The Smoky Vale Alliance series.
I love these books about Smoky Vale, and Bay and Gerald’s story was everything I could have hoped for! With their story having a big age gap, sexual discovery, bikers, found family and an MC that was dominant, protective and possessive – there was just so much for me to love.
These men had a ton of chemistry and once they got together things got intense – it was super hot how Bay brought out the wilder and more uninhibited sides of Gerald. The dirty talk was filthy and I loved the bits of humiliation and light kinks that they got in to.
While the romance leaned towards gentle and sweet, the suspense plot got pretty dark, so please check the trigger warnings as it got quite gritty and violent at times. If you enjoy darker versions of biker romances with age gap, opposites attract and some suspense – this is it!
(Bay can be read as a standalone, but I recommend checking out the Grimm Tales of Smoky Vales series first, I promise it’s worth it!)
How it begins…
Buzzzzz.
The godawful sound of the doorbell almost gave me a heart attack. I placed a hand over my heart and inhaled deeply. I needed to have someone fix the broken thing, but I kept putting it off.
