Brick's Redemption

Graven Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV #5

by Nikki Landis

From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Landis comes a steamy, age gap, morally grey, revenge-driven MC romance with a slight paranormal twist.

Fifteen years ago, I lost my best friend, my sponsor, and the man I was proud to call a brother.
He was gunned down in the middle of the street on a Sunday afternoon.
A hit by a rival club as he rode toward his daughter on her thirteenth birthday.
Three miles from home, he missed her party and a pivotal moment in her life.
She never got to say goodbye.

Now, all these years later, we meet up again.
A snowstorm and a canceled flight in Denver put her in my path as I arrived at the airport to help my club brother.
I offer her a ride, and since it's her only option of arriving home safely, she accepts.
But we're targeted and followed, and nearly killed.
I manage to get her home safely for the holidays, only to kidnap and bring her to a safe house.

Ginny is mine.
I've claimed her, and fallen hard for the sexy, curvy redhead.
I won't risk her safety. She's got to stay in hiding until I can deal with the threat.
But she's got secrets and so do I.
Ginny doesn't know that I was the one who found her father, Hesh, in his last moments.
I made a promise to protect her, to get vengeance for the men who stole Ginny's father from her.
And if I have to ride into hell to do it, I will.

Welcome to Las Vegas, where sin, corruption, and the law tangle together. Control belongs to the ones who wear a patch and ride an iron steed. Get ready to rev your engines with the wicked, possessive, protective, alpha men of the Graven Bastards MC Las Vegas Chapter.

Another winning story!

I've said it before and I will say it again, nobody writes better paranormal motorcycle club romances than Nikki Landis. This book is the continuation of a story that began in My Christmas Biker. Ginny and Brick (aka Bedlam) are still together and in danger from a rival club who has put out a hit on her. This is a passionate couple and you will find both steam and angst within the pages of their story. The characters go through growth and change in the storyline. I could not put the book down until I had reached their happily ever after.

Wow, five star feast for the famine!

Nikki, you got it right, Bedlam is a feast for your fans! I will never get tired of the Devil's Ride. If you don't know the reference, you need to get on board and meet our beloved Morningstar! Lol. Keep them coming because I will shout out everytime, "Landis rocks". All I will say now, get your read on and take the Devil's Ride. Peace out.

My favorite kind of read, age gap, morally gray and a paranormal twist. This author really knocked it out of the park with this book. From the moment that I started reading I was hooked. I haf no idea how things were going to unfold until they happened and the details were on point. So much action, loads of emotion, suspense, revelations, and more are found within the pages of this story. An excellent read and must read.

Graven Bastards MC-Vegas

I just can't get enough of Nikki Landis's Bastards! Doesn't matter if it's Tonopah or Vegas, she tells their story like nobody else can! I don't want to give any spoilers, for those that haven't visited the Bastards yet, so Im just going to say "WOW, that heartache was rough to get the happy!!!"

[Ana Armstrong · Rating 5 out of 5]

FANTASTIC!!!!

Everything happens for a reason. This remarkable book by Nikki Landis is a perfect example. It started as one thing, the author had to take a detour and the end product is so much more than imagined..
I absolutely loved Brick/Bedlam and Ginny’s story. It’s poignant and lovely. I suspect 1 character really knew what the future would hold for these 2 as they got older.
Lots of mystery and intrigue along with spicy stuff. You’ll shed a few sad tears and those will be replaced with happy ones. Fantastic story!!!!!

Brick is out with his best friend and MC brother, Hesh, as he looks for the perfect gift for his daughter's birthday. Like Brick had any idea of what a thirteen-year-old girl would like. Even though he has picked up a lot about what she likes looking over her like Hesh had asked.

They were headed to Church and then to Ginny's party. When the club officers all arrived the pres told them that the Crimson Skulls MC had sent a warning and he didn't want anyone out riding alone until the situation had been taken care of. The message was 'an eye for an eye'.

Brick had an uncomfortable feeling letting Hesh go ahead of him even though he was only fifteen minutes behind on their way to Hesh's for his daughter's birthday. When he sees Hesh's mangled bike up ahead he knows its too late even as he calls 911. Brick's last words are Hesh asking him to keep them safe as he dies in his arms. A promise that he is still keeping fifteen years later.

I loved this book. It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This book is a continuation of Brick and Ginny's meeting in My Christmas Biker and I would recommend that you read it beforehand as you get a full picture of how they met and the danger that Ginny is facing.

This book is action-packed, full of danger and smoking hot. Brick will do anything to keep Ginny safe even when she isn't happy about being hidden in a safe house unable to contact her mother. As with all of Nikki's books Brick is a morally grey character who will do anything to protect his club and the woman he loves. Highly recommend.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brick and Ginny are sooooooooo good for each other. This one was a bit emotional because of what happened 15 years ago. Brick then, with the Desert Titans, thought they took care of the problem only for it to rear its nasty head and cause more pain and heartache. Brick, Ginny and Dagger, Bricks best friend and brother, are in hiding. What could go wrong? I know I know I'm confusing the hell out of you, and what's really sad or messed up is I'm doing it on purpose. This was such a good book. I love the brotherhood and how they all come together to help their own. The paranormal twists in these books are so freaking awesome. This one has danger, drama, suspense, romance, and more. Can you say Lucifer? Yeah, that's the one he's here to cause a little bedlam...hahaha. I absolutely recommend this book. Nikki Landis, you knocked it out of the park again.

Awesome MC Book

This author never disappoints and she has proven yet again why she is one of my favorite MC authors. I’ll start by saying that you need to read My Christmas Biker first; which was another five-star read. This is Brick/Bedlam and Ginny’s story which was packed full of suspense and steam.

Brick is living up to his promise to look after his sponsor and best friend’s wife and daughter after he was gunned down. Now fifteen years later Brick and Ginny have a hit on their heads and have formed a beautiful bond.

I loved the suspense that had me on the edge of my seat as well as the connection these two had. Nothing is better than the Devil’s Ride in these stories. This is a book that I highly recommend.

[Cheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brick’s Redemption by Nikki Landis is the story of Brick and Ginny…and oh so much more!! These two have been attracted to each other for years. But, she’s his friend’s daughter. Now, everything has taken a turn…his friend is gone and asked Brick to protect Ginny….at all costs. And he’s happy to oblige.

There are shadows to add to the mix now…and I love it!!! So much happening in this story. Honor, betrayal, deceit, revenge, and romance!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this read and can’t wait for more of the MC!!

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart broke for the loss of good men, fathers and friends. Brick, Dagger and Ginny needed revenge for family and the club members. There's betrayal, danger and of course Lucifer. Excellent read. HEA.

3.75stars—BRICK’S REDEMPTION is the fifth instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary adult GRAVEN BASTARDS MC: LAS VEGAS (GBMC) dark, erotic, paranormal, MC romance series. This is Brick Mayfield and twenty-eight year old, Ginger ‘Ginny’ Bedford ’s continuing story line. BRICK’S REDEMPTION should not be read as a stand alone-Brick and Ginny’s story begins in MY CHRISTMAS BIKER, and fast forwards their story by several weeks. For followers of the series, it was originally linked to the multi-authored RBMC .


NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.


Told from dual first person perspectives (Brick and Ginny) BRICK’S REDEMPTION follows in the wake of threats against our story line couple. Approximately fifteen years earlier, on the day of her thirteenth birthday, Ginny’s father Hesh was gunned down by a member of the Crimson Skulls, and in the ensuing years, the Graven Bastards MC had all but taken down most of the people responsible but with the gunman out of prison on parole, the Crimson Skulls has regrouped, determined to destroy what was left of Desert Titans MC, beginning with our story line couple. Desperate for assistance, and a need to protect the woman he loves, Brick gets help from the GBMC, and in doing so, is about to discover the Graven Bastards MC are more than meets the eye.


The world building follows our couple on the run with Brick’s ‘brother’ Dagger. The Crimson Skulls are determined to finish what they started fifteen years earlier, and with the release of the man responsible, vengeance for the sins of the past is a top priority.


The relationship between Brick and Ginny is an age-gap, father’s best friend romance in which Brick swore to protect the woman with whom he had fallen in love but six weeks on the run forces our couple down a different path, wherein Brick will become Bedlam, and Ginny will find herself with a new group of friends and family. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate.


We are reintroduced to several members of the GRAVEN BASTARDS MC, all of whom have been bestowed with special abilities, that when tasked, reap the souls of those they deem unworthy.


BRICK’S REDEMPTION is a story of betrayal and revenge, power and control, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are determined and destructive.

This was an engaging read, full of suspense, revenge, love, and intriguing characters. Brick and Ginny's relationship faces some challenges in this installment, with their strong personalities clashing amidst the danger they face while on the run. The story is filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept us hooked from start to finish.

The banter between Dagger and Ginny added a light-hearted touch to the narrative, making us chuckle along the way. The climax of the story took us by surprise, adding an exciting element to the plot. The paranormal aspect of the MC romance genre adds an intriguing layer to the story, making it a compelling read.

Dagger's character also shines in this book, with his lovable nature and his pursuit of love adding depth to the storyline. Overall, this book is a great addition to the series, leaving us eager to see what happens next in Brick and Ginny's journey. The unexpected ending sets the stage for a new adventure, keeping us on the edge of our seats.

[Lynn Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action packed with emotion and suspense! This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. I read the prequel My Christmas Biker first and absolutely loved Brick and Ginny and the kickoff to their story. From that book, I believed him to be a part of the Saints Outlaws MC and this book was going to be the continuation of their story and book one in a that series, but this book says he's a member of Desert Titans MC and ends up rolling into the middle of another MC series ... this one with a tad of a paranormal vibe which the first one was not. I was really disappointed with that because I would have gotten familiar with that MC's prior books before reading this one had I known that ... but whatever. The characters are well developed and endearing. I really enjoyed them as a whole and look forward to seeing more of them if I dive back in with this group of bikers. There was intense situations, sadness and lots of drama to sink your teeth into throughout. I wanted a bit more development of their life together, but overall it was a solid read and I enjoyed their story.

[Brooke Torrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bricks Redemption by Nikki Landis was fan-freaking-tastic, just like the series. I devoured this book in a day and lost a little sleep to finish. I loved the action, suspense, the drama, and the spice. This book is a dark paranormal MC romance, which is the best of both book trope worlds and touches on dark themes and topics. I loved the tropes this book has: the age gap, his promise to protect the FMC at any cost, touch her and 🔪, and my favorite, the MC and paranormal parts. I thought the storyline was original and kept me on my toes with all the action, surprises, and drama going on. The characters were complex and had a history, and the chemistry was instant and undeniable.

Ginger was determined and stubborn. I loved her attitude and loyalty to her family. She was a firecracker. Brick was committed to his MC and determined to protect his family and Ginger. My heart broke a few times for both of these characters. I laughed and cried a few times throughout this book. I can't wait to see what happens next in this exciting and dark romance.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fifth book in this awesome series, and this is Brick and Ginny’s story.
Brick lost his best friend, sponsor, and club brother 15 years ago when he was shot while driving home for his 13-year-old daughter's birthday. Brock promised to protect and take care of Ginny and seek justice for his fallen friend. By chance Brick and Ginny cross paths again at the airport when a snowstorm cancels flights, and he offers to drive her home, but danger follows them.
This is a well written easy to read, action packed story, with family, friendships, emotions, secrets, loyalty, forced proximity, kidnapping, touch her and die vibes, danger, suspense, intrigue, an age gap, redemption, trust, revelations, morally grey, a paranormal twist, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, and unpredictable addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Victoria Shelton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an awesome book to read, I am absolutely obsessed with this couple and their journey to find their forever after.

This book is not a standalone, you have to read My Christmas Biker by this author. Finding out they have a past together when they take a chance meeting at an airport trying to get home for the holidays and realizing things from Ginny’s fathers past is come back to haunt them. You watch them fall in love with each other and running for their life’s. You get tests and trials while also trying to hold on to something that might be the only thing holding each other together. Reading Brick’s Redemption had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, the turning point in the story was suprising to say the least. Never anything I personally experienced in a story and the symbolism was different but also phenomenal.

Will definitely be adding this authors backlist to my TBR immediately. Cant wait for the next one.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Please note, this is a continuation, not a standalone. I highly suggest reading the novella, My Christmas Biker, first. Brick’s redemption picks up where the novella leaves off. This is a fast paced romantic MC read that will have you either smiling or cringing depending on the chapter. Ginny, Brick and one of his club brothers are on the run after a rival club tried to kill them. They hold up in a safe house until his club can find and eliminate the threat. But things are never that easy. When the past comes calling and wants its revenge the three are off on the run again. But as things go from bad to worse and death surrounds them is there any way for them to stay safe?

This is an excellent read with a slight paranormal twist. If you have kept up with the series (the RBMC/GBMC) you’ll totally understand the paranormal fun. I highly recommend the book/series, they are an MC Must read.

2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

You have to read My Christmas Biker first or you will be lost reading this book. This book picks up where we left off with Ginny and Brick. A rival club has put a hit out on Ginny. Brick was asked to take care of Ginny once by his one time friend. He is not about to break that promise. His friend is also the reason that he would never make a move on Jenny too. He didn't want to do anything to upset their friendship. There is so much happening in this story that I can't tell you any of it or I might ruin it for someone. This is such a good book. You do not want to miss it.

Brick's Redemption is book 5 in the awesome Graven Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV series written by the amazing author Nikki Landis. This is Brick & Ginny story. This is not a standalone. NO SPOILERS! I highly recommended that you read My Christmas Biker first because this book is a continuation and end to their story. It was very well written and full of danger, enemies, betrayal, morally gray, possessive and protective alpha men, strong sassy ladies, and a lot more. But for that you need to buy the book, you will not be disappointed. Can't wait for more!!!!!Thanks Nikki!!!
Tropes;
age gap,
morally grey,
MC romance with a slight paranormal twist

[Lilian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Part one is essentially the Novella, My Christmas Biker. So if you have read this novella, you can skip to part two. Brick and Ginny are still in trouble and decide to hide it out while other members of the MC trace the villains.

As they fight against evil forces that threaten to tear them apart, Brick is forced to make a decision and that becomes a life-changing moment for him. Overall, the book is fast-paced and there are no boring moments.

If you love MC romances with high spice, you will totally love this book. Add in an amazing found family, and voila, you can’t help but be sucked into the story.

Brick lost his best friend, sponsor, and club brother 15 years ago and Ginny lost her dad when he was shot. Brock promised to protect and take care of Ginny and seek justice for his fallen friend. Brick and Ginny cross paths and he offers to drive her home, but danger follows them. Their story is action packed emotional, touch her and die, danger, suspense, trust, revelations a bit of a paranormal twist, undeniable chemistry, love and banter. It was great seeing some familiar faces following a tragedy.

Fifteen years after losing his best friend and club brother in a brutal hit, Brick crosses paths with the one person he never thought he’d see again—Ginny, the daughter of the man he swore to protect. A snowstorm throws them together, but danger follows close behind. As Brick fights to keep her safe, old secrets surface, and new feelings take root.

This is fast-paced, steamy, and full of heart, this story is about love, loyalty, and the lengths one man will go to for the woman he’s claimed as his own. It’s gritty, emotional with action, secrets, and second chances.

[Christine Woinich · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brick knew Ginny when she was a teenager. Fate brought them back together when she was an adult. Danger followed her as Brick gave her a ride home, so he basically locked her down in a safe house. Ginny was strong and intelligent. Brick was very protective and stood firmly by his feelings for her. Despite the age difference, they were a wonderful couple, and I enjoyed their journey. The support of the MC brotherhood and the paranormal aspect added greatly to the story.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

good read but what the heck

What the heck? Was into the book and mc business was about an enemy being released and targeting ball members. Liked brick, dagger and all the guys as they tried keeping families safe from a previously thought designated mc enemy who have reformed. Add in ginger and bricks story then bam the second bit of the book has me wondering if I’ve gone into another story? Love the reapers but the mc war seemed to be treated too lightly. Loved the book but still shaking my head. Lucifer needs to up his game!
