Stryker

Salvation's Bane MC, Book 6

By: Marteeka Karland

Narrated by: Umi Markkanen

Glitter: Yes, that’s my real name. Born stripper name, I know. I’ve been on my own since I was 14. When I tried to get a job with Salvations Bane MC at their strip club, Salvation’s Angels, their security saw right through my fake ID. Lucky for me, the club sent me to Beach Fit, their fitness club, until I turned 18. Now I work at Angels, and the crowd here loves me. Stryker’s still looking out for me. For some reason he thinks I’m a magnet for trouble. Now that I’ve got his full attention, I know what I want, and I’m going to prove him right.

Stryker: We try our best to keep things at the club legit. Last thing we need is an underage dancer attracting too much attention. OK, so she’s legal now, has been for nearly two years, but that girl’s everything this old man doesn’t need—and can’t afford. But there’s another club encroaching on our territory, setting up a BDSM club on the other side of town, as a front to run drugs. Now I’ve got word there’s even more going on at The Dark than drugs. I was right. And who do I find right in the middle of it but Glitter. Only, she’s not involved with the thugs at The Dark. She’s their prisoner—a sub who has no idea what it means to be a sub, but she thinks she wants to learn.

Glitter and Stryker’s Steamy Love Story.

OMG, I need a cold shower, or two, or three after the steaminess of this audiobook. Glitter and Stryker have explosive chemistry that is off the charts.
I will admit that some of the scenes were a bit too much for this mid-60’s grandma, but I was warned beforehand. I definitely learned a thing or two.

If you are looking for an audiobook that will totally envelop and immerse you, look no further. Just make certain you have an iced cold drink handy, and keep the room cool when you are listening to this story because everything will heat up.

Going Out with a Bang

This one didn't hook me as much as I anticipated. Glitter is interesting, and I love her attitude about her job. Stryker is alpha, ridiculous, and unintentionally funny, at least to me.

The chemistry between them is a mixed bag, especially when they fight it. I can't. Rather, I won't deny that the dances she performs for him are off-the- charts steamy. I definitely love them. That last one should be immortalized. 🌶🥵🔥❤️👀🫦💦💥 Honestly, I rounded my rating up simply for that scene.

There were parts related to Butcher and The Dark that could've been fleshed out a little better. Still, I do like how that all concluded.

There are crossovers from other series, which I always love. It's like seeing an old friend. Well, for some of the men. 😉 Of course, there are plenty of interactions with the others within this series, too. How they all look out for Glitter, even when she really messes up, is beautiful.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. Even while I'd love another voice to accompany her sometimes, Umi does a wonderful job providing voices that are easy to listen to.

Good

This was another good listen. This is another book in the series where another one of the boys got there happy ever after with there old lady.

Great story.

Glitter tries to sneak in underage to work at a strip club. She is caught and given a different job until she is of age and can work in the job she wants. Stryker is protective of Glitter and this causes some interesting situations. The narrator is fantastic and I look forward to more.

Another hit from Karland!

This was a fun, quick read with lots of action, drama, danger and romance built in—perfect to keep me company while I work. I can’t imagine ever turning down a Karland read—they’re pretty much all very similar to one another, but I love the world she’s created, the protective, secretly sweet men, and all the danger.

🎧 Audio:
I absolutely love this narrator—she manages to make these sound like duet narrations. She also performs, none of that robotic dictating here! Her voice is great, and the overall sound quality is flawless. 5 stars.
