The Bare Bones MC #1-3
The Bare Bones MC Box Set 1
AMAZON TOP 10 BESTSELLER Catch the MC miniseries on rerun. This collection includes the first three books from THE BARE BONES MC series. Daring readers will encounter themes of abuse, dubious consent, BDSM, drug running, and violence against women. No cliffhangers, and HEAs all around for everyone. THE BARE BONES #1 If you ain’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room. The rose-colored illusion of Madison Shellmound’s girlish crush on biker Ford Illuminati is stomped into smithereens by his crude father Cropper, Bare Bones motorcycle club President. Fearing Ford will kill Cropper if he finds out, Madison flees, becoming an upstanding cardiology nurse. Madison and Ford have an ill-fated, star-crossed love that will last their lifetimes. Ford is a lifer in a different sort of enterprise, the gritty full-throttle club of guns, blood, and allegiance to his brothers. Twelve years and several tours of SEAL duty later, Ford is thrust back into Madison’s arms on the worst day of his life. Madison’s prospect brother Speed has screwed up big-time and owes the club his life. She offers herself to Cropper as a sacrificial lamb to save Speed. But how long until the fiery, full-on outlaw Ford discovers that the woman he loves was treated like a degraded slave by his own father? Well, meet the new boss. He’s not the same as the old boss. STAY VERTICAL #2 One two three four five six seven. All good sinners go to heaven. Peace Corps volunteer June Shellmound returns to Arizona to care for her dying mother. At the clubhouse of The Bare Bones motorcycle club, June is swept into the drama when half-breed Lytton Driving Hawk barges in and demands recognition as president Ford Illuminati’s half-brother. Hot enough to melt steel, Lytton has forged a life apart from the reservation as a brilliant chemist, living the high times at his pot farm in the mountains. Lytton is no fortunate son, though, and the mortal secrets Ford’s been hiding about their father drive the last nail into their brotherly coffin. Lytton turns his back on the Bare Bones and sweet bleeding heart June. Blinded by vengeance, Lytton becomes ruled by his own demons, raising hell alongside Ford’s mortal enemies, The Cutlasses. Alliances are torn apart within the club, loyalties are divided, and everyone’s true spirits are tested. When the dust clears, Lytton and June find themselves running for their lives just to…STAY VERTICAL BAD TO THE BONES #3 Knoxie Hammett has been The Bare Bones' tattoo artist for years. He's just drifted through life, living it large and performing in their Triple Exposure films, recovering from a divorce he never wanted. Suddenly Knoxie has a reason to live and to want to prospect for The Bare Bones outlaw motorcycle club. He'll need their help to rescue the lovely Bellamy Jager from the jaws of the cutthroat, warped cult leader who has been holding her hostage all her adult life. To the neglected, abused Bellamy, living in the desert canyons off stolen food and time, the sanctity of the ashram looked like a safe zone. But her haven turned to hell and she was drugged and abused, ignorant of any other way of life. Knoxie will need every one of his Bare Bones brothers and every ounce of bravery he can muster. To save Bellamy and her white slave sister from the twisted swami, he’ll need to pull off the most daring job of his life to prove to the club and the world that he’s…BAD TO THE BONES. Don’t ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.

If you love The Bare Bones MC you'll love the Bent Zealots, these gorgeous sexy alpha males that like to dominate their men, Each one is HEA non have cliffhangers but they got a whole lot of hot steamy sex. Bad ass bikers that will protect each other and love fiercely.
A Dangerous Reality--
This was scorching, what can I say M/M action but there will be some queasy scenes with blood and guts but all the make out and love parts makes up for the bad parts. Wont say to much about this but you will not be disappointed in this story of Turk from Bare Bones MC & Lock from Assassins of Youth MC, starting with a mission to ending up starting up their own gay Biker MC from beating the crap out of each other to a way to make peace with their love for each other and for their future of their new MC.
A Gorgeous Mess--
This was a fantastic read worth more then 5 stars. Talk about Dom/Sub, wow with their dirty talking you can image what they are going though in their emotions. Anson happens to be Riker (Bare Bones old brother) one of many kids whats to know what happened to his old man but in the beginning he is at the Bare Bones Club House and Ford wont tell him again unless he helps out Turk with finding who stolen Turks weed, a test of trust for Anson in exchange for info on Riker. Thats were he meets up with the badge chancing deep throatier Spanish hotty Ormond. These two got it bad for each other but one is still deeply in the closet and is afraid to pop is head out for a second, but the sex scenes are sizzling.
A Lone Stranger--
I really freaking loved it. Ever since readings Sax's story and learning about his son, I couldn't wait to read Harte's story. He is newly out of the closet and and hoping to have a great life but he can't since he is still hurting from his 'father' betrayal on the club. His new life is to leave the Boners to become a Zealots. I dont remember if I read about Turks brother before in either of the Boners early story lines or in his own one but we see Turks jailed brother needing a place to be for is parole, talk about a confused man. He thought that since his brother was Prez that he can be veep automatically then knock his brother down, he was dreaming big to damn fast but was funny to see him put in his place as a prospect. Another rival club is at it again and poor Ormond was at the receiving end of their hate and only a few people know and started a mini feud but we now has even a very disgusting perverted cop getting working with the rivals and is pissed off Ormond is off the market. There will be denial, confusion, newcomer in the wrong body, revenge, and so much most just hold on to your saddle for the intense ride of these club brothers, yes twinkletoes is in most of this story for all his fans, even throwing his laptop onto a bashing.

This is one bad ass biker series…If you like reading M/M, this series is for you!!! I read each of them individually and couldn’t wait for the next one. You are lucky to get them in this unique set…Layla Wolfe writes like no other….I highly recommend them!!!

What an awesome deal on three books. This is a great M/M MC series. Layla creates a wonderful story on The Bent Zealots MC. The Bent Zealots are all about sexy guys and great action that happens in each book. This is a great series and one not to be missed.
June 22, 2016
This is the real deal...a gritty, no holds barred depiction of life in a Motorcycle Club.
There is violence, betrayal, double-crossing, blackmail...and love.
And also sex....lots of it...and very well written.

The Bent Zealots are not your typical bikers. They are a man loving motorcycle club. I absolutely loved these books and love how it shows that they can do anything a straight motorcycle club can do. And they don't have to hide who they love from the rest of the club.
June 21, 2016
i would have never had thought that M/M and biker would go together. but Layla has proved me wrong. I absolutely love these men and the stories that come with them. What a great twist on the genre!

Get ready to take the ride of a lifetime, enter the MC world of the Bent Zealots. Three exciting stories about bikers who are tired of hiding who they are and create an MC that allows them the freedom to be true to themselves. Each story is unique and showcases the struggles these men face to be free. Turk and Lock are equally matched and enemies. Once it is clear dominance will not be decided they have to deal with their attraction as Lock is still in the closet. Anson and Ormond are as different as night and day. A mercenary and a badge bunny sent on a mission that has the potential to not end well. Both are game for a little fun, but what happens when the heart gets involved. Harte and Bond, an interesting pair if there ever was one. Harte comes to the Zealots to find himself, Bond came from prison with a chip on his shoulder and is thrown into the MC as a prospect. Deep in denial Bond has to come to terms with his desires and Harte might be just the man to help him with that. Raw and gritty, these are not hearts and flower tales. Danger, excitement, drama, humor and violence are an everyday thing in the MC world, being a gay club adds extra concerns as it is not a healthy choice when you are in this lifestyle. As always, Ms. Wolfe creates great characters and awesome storylines allowing us to view her vision and get pulled into the interesting world.

Embrace your wild side and get to know the Bare Bones MC right from the beginning. Even though each book has an individual love focus ,this is not a flowers and heart series. Get down and dirty by experiencing a taste of what it takes and what it means to wear the CUT of a MC. Even though we are getting a look at the dark, gritty and sometime criminal side of the biker environment, you will still be drawn into the lives of the men and women who make up this frightening world. Not for the faint of heart as the situations are sometimes raw, emotional, violent and disturbing. Each story in this series is well thought out, the characters are interesting, intriguing and will capture your attention. Whether the storyline's are based on truth or just from the imagination of Ms. Wolfe, you will come to care about the Bare Bones members and will enjoy your ride on the wild side.

Wow...M/M action and bikers...what more could you ask for when you are into M/M romance and like the gritty action of an MC. I read each of these books separately and now they are available in a boxed set...and they were not your usual tame stories at all. Each book can be read as a standalone but it helps to read them in order so you understand the dynamics of each relationship as they are mingled in some ways as well. A Dangerous Reality, A Gorgeous Mess and A Lone Stranger...each one is hotter than the previous but with compelling storylines. Fair warning though, they are not tame or mildly sexual...they are very steamy, graphic depictions of M/M sexuality and at times, very violent club action but I like my books to not hold back and the more real, the better.

I have to tell the truth here. I usually don't care for MC stories. Layla Wolfe is the only author whose MC books I'll read. I like her style. She really gets to the heart of everything...holding nothing back. The life of an MC club isn't fluffy, and Layla doesn't give you fluffy.
I'm particularly fond of this set because I read (almost exclusively) gay erotic romance. If I'm going to read about bikers, I'd rather read about GAY ones. In these stories, the men are rough, hot, and oh so sexy. I can't tell you how many fantasies these guys have given me. They're very well fleshed out, so I can imagine exactly what they look and sound like...and they look and sound AWESOME!!
Trust me. Pick up this set. You won't be sorry!

I had never read M/M before Layla introduced me to A Dangerous Reality, book 1 of The Bent Zealots MC. I was instantly hooked! There is something special about M/M books...the passion between these men is molten!
Each story is set in the beautiful state of Arizona...the descriptions of the scenery are pure magic. It is like you are there!
Plus, I so love the names she gives these bikers! They are quirky and funny, but fiercely protective of their MC. I also like that we catch up with couples and characters in each book. It is an ongoing story told as only Layla can.

I liked MC stories before but with Bare Bones stories, I <3 MC's now, they are like chips can cant read the first one with out reading them all. I have read all 5 B.B. MC and they are all my favorites. You will no be disappointed in this fantastic series. The first one will get you staged for the rest and a warning you will be addicted, heart pounding and red hot passion. Bare Bones also has a off branch MC series be on the look out for those Hot alpha males.

I was given a copy of the book by Hurricane Readers in exchange for an honest review.
The first three books in the Bare Bones MC Series. I really enjoyed this box set, and found myself reading page after page just to see what happens next. I like how each book is a new character, yet still a part of the series. I would recommend this book to my friends that enjoy the MC style. Can't wait to keep reading the next books in the series.
