I didn’t expect to cross paths with Ciara Morton.
Her innocent beauty literally knocked me to my knees.
I’d never met a woman like her.
She’s smart to stay away from me.
I like my sex rough and dirty and I don’t believe in love.
But she’s slowly seeping into my bones,
And the more she rejects me, the greedier I get.
She should stay away, before I lose all sense of control.
Seth Scardino is all sinewy muscles and rough attitude.
He’s the type of man who takes without asking permission.
From the first moment I saw him, I knew he would be my weakness.
He controls me in every way possible,
But I’ll never admit it.
If I do, he’ll know I’ll let him take me completely,
And I don’t think I’ll be able to let him go if he does.
Like all my naughty boys, Seth likes it rough and dirty.

I swear, I have to give this entire 5 stars. I can't get enough of this author's writing!!
The war between the drug lord, La Cruz, and the Hell’s Lovers is still brewing. The temperature’s rising, the tension can be cut with a knife, and everyone’s anxious to get this over with. With their families at risk, these sexy riders are willing to do whatever it takes to protect them and preserve the lives of everyone involved. Well, everyone except the Cartel. Who could care less about those ruthless killers? But that’s not all� Seth, the treasurer, has found the time to take hard possession of Ciara, the baby sitter hired by Wolf and Scarlett. And when I say hard� I mean she takes a good pounding ;)
”Seth was the epitome of raw, hedonistic, animal sex.�
Crimson Syn can write the dictionary and make it sound sexy. Hot damn!! Seth and Ciara were beyond steamy. These two were combustible� incendiary� on freaking fire!! From the start, Seth was possessive and beyond obsessed. He tried to stay away and she was resistant to his charms. But it was all an act. They couldn’t get enough of each other and I couldn’t get enough of them.
If you’re a fan of hot and steamy romances full of heart, family, and suspense, then everything from Crimson Syn should be on your one-click list. This author is definitely at the top of mine!

Crimson Syn is on a roll with SETH from her Hells Lovers MC Series. In this instalment, we follow Seth, the clubs treasurer and his ministrations of the opposite sex!
He can’t seem to keep his eyes, mind and body to himself. Ciara is a young one but that doesn’t seem to matter. Neither the warning from her brothers or another member from the gang does the trick to keep him at bay. With the Los Perdidos gone, another enemy has popped up and the club is in peril again.
Another sexy read from Syn. I love how she is able to hit all the marks for this series of novellas. I’ve mentioned it before, it I really think she’s ready for a full length novel. I love the little snippets of the gang, but would really use a full length to see what else she has up her sleeve.
Can’t wait to hear what Gunner is up to! These boys sure do have a sting gaggle of women to look after! Stubborn and tough!

Another great instalment by Crimson Syn in her biker series. I do love how she has progressed in her writing and now has a better balance of smut and plot. Short, dirty, exciting and hits just the right spot when you want a biker hit.
I've noticed CS always pushes boundaries and taboos in each of the books. She certainly skirts several of my lines and even though I wouldn't normally enjoy certain scenes, I tend to like them here. I think maybe it's in part of the world building (can't be entirely vanilla and easygoing in biker books), another part is the writing and yet another part is because when I feel like smut I'm not that fussy. In this book there's a scene that I know many of my safety gang would not enjoy and I fully admit that normally I wouldn't either but here I found it kinda hot. And given Seth's and Ciara's particular "kink" I felt that it fit.
Me. In love. Hah!
I didn’t fall in love. I didn’t believe in it. Nothing in my life had ever pointed to love being nothing other than heartache.
He was hot one moment and then cold the next, I never knew what to make of him.
“You feel it too, don’t you? he whispered. “This pull between us. It’s been there for a long time, cupcake. All you have to do is give yourself over to me.�
Seth's and Ciara's relationship was certainly turbulent. A heated attraction from the get go but both of them fighting it. A lot of push and pull but that was part of their chemistry as a couple. All in all a fab biker dose to brighten up my day.

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book
Holy Smoke I think this one was the dirties of them all
After one enemy has been taken down, now another is on the horizon and the club is doing everything in their power to keep their women and club safe.
Ciara takes the job as the nanny for the president of the club, and this is something she looks forward to. Finally getting away from her grandfather and her brothers and doing her own thing. But seeing as the club is under attack, she has a bodyguard. A Bodyguard that she doesn't know what to do with. He is infuriating he is annoying but he is sexy as all hell.
Seth is stuck with the babysitting job of looking after Ciara, and the only complaint he has is that this women is driving him insane. But he can't help his attraction to her.
A near death experience and a enemy wanting to take them down, Seth is not wasting time claiming his women.
I think this one was the dirties one of them all. Seth was a sexy dirty talking alpha and Ciara had no chance to get away...
Can't wait to see how this is going to end. Everyone on edge and Gunner is up next :-)

Hmm have to say this was not my favorite of the bunch. My biggest pet peeve about books are when the man is with other females. For me it is such a turn off and seems like betrayal. And I'm not really into the forceful but willing kink either. However I still really enjoyed this book because it has such a great back story and isn't based solely on sex. Each book the drama and excitement just builds and builds to the point I can't wait for the next book! So ill be here waiting for Gunner's story. Plus I loved the cover.

First reread February 2021
This one wasn’t as long as the others for some reason. And I’m a little bummed about that. There a hint of a little romance plot that the author could’ve made happen here in this book and she didn’t. Which was kind of a disappointment. 🤷♀�
Seth and Ciara were something else. I didn’t feel very attached to them. And maybe it was because their story was a bit shorter? But they did a lot of bickering. Which I think was my undoing when it came to attachment.
The smut was still A1 though. Even if there wasn’t much of it. But! In this book much more of the club’s story plays out. Which is super exciting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First read March 2018
Dude! I loved Seth! Absolutely LOVED him! I cannot tell you why though. He wasn't any different than any of the other guy's. It's just that something with him stuck with me. I adored him. And I loved his story with Ciara.
Now, the smut, I'm not one for
Seth and Ciara were adorable. And I loved their story. :D

Not gonna lie, I am always loving folks named Beth & just know that when you name your kid Seth ...that is just like me, just a different letter, so it is still named after me, I know I am a goober but get over it, u probably have your silliness too!! so ssshhh!! I feel I did connect with Seth because he knows what to do, how to take care of business, but most of the other dudes (the older bikers) think they know better than him??! Maybe the point is you need to listen to the young once in a while, HELLO!! Trying to figure out how to rank these book. I loved Grayson 1st, Wolf is like a leader figure after all is he is the head biker dude, Cain is made extra sweeter (hotter, badder, what ever racy word ya wanna input here, but all the biker dudes have their badd ways!! lol!!) and more laid back because of his lady Sophia. Riggs ...how do I describe him?! Well, that is tough, go read his book to get a better understanding, I read it, but I don't understand his philosophy, I'll word it that way, LOL! wink, wink!! ha. ha!!! Seth he is a protector, takes a hell of a lot of orders from the higher-up's! He needs a break. Such a great read, there is just something about the way Crimson Syn does write ...when I see there is a new read, I get to slurp it up ...then it is over and I am kind of sad, gotta wait 'til the next one. This is one series you just get all sucked into and you just wanna keep on reading. Intense moments, biker dudes and babes ... all wrapped up. Nice! ( ;

Thank you baby jesus for bring this series into my life!
I swear up and down that the Hellbound Lovers MC series gets better with each damn book.
Now Seth is a dual POV about Ciara and of course SETH the legend himself! Oh my Lanta! Was this book hot with all of the smutty goodness! However, I could've done without the whole "she was turned on by basically getting raped" kind of smut. Not my cup of tea but hey.. women are crazy in these books.
Now of course their romance was undeniably hot (if you get over the whole she likes to struggle and gets turned on by it and everything). Seth falls for the "baby sitter" because that's basically Ciara's job. She watches over little Ryder, who is Wolf and Scarlett's adorable baby girl. GOD! I was fangirling like shit when their baby was mentioned.
Besides that, you get to meet Ciara's brothers.. which I'm still not sure why they were mentioned at all. I mean they were there for a couple of chapters but it also seemed kind of pointless to me at the same time? I didn't really care for them but A for effort because they tried to scare off my man Seth. No one scare him. He laughs in the face of danger!
Overall, I ended up enjoying this book. I kind of forgot about how their relationship really started because in the end you found out their love was genuine. Even if their sex life is weird and not for everyone.

Seth is the treasurer of the MC and he has his eye on the nanny that has been hired to take care of Wolf's daughter (Ciara). At first, Ciara's character seems to want to be independent at all costs and is not interested in being dominated by any man, but her attraction to Seth breaks down those ideals. There is a war brewing between the MC and a cartel, so Seth has plenty of opportunities to be the protector for Ciara. When the book ends, it seems they are expecting violence to erupt at any moment.
I didn't think this one was as good as other books in the series. While the few scenes that were supposed to bring Seth and Ciara together as a couple were steamy, I never felt that they were connecting on more than just a physical level - unlike the other couples in this series. I also felt like the both the romantic and the action storylines were missing some key bits. In short, both the character and plot development has been better in previous books in the series.

Seth & Ciara are quite the match, she craves his wickedness as much as he craves her innocence, but their declarations of love is the best ❤️ as they just admitted it, simple 💚💙 an interesting couple!
🤔😐yeah, no, I can’t say I’d be wanting to do anything with a guy (hardly a minute later) that I just saw getting a BJ from (a club/stripper) chick� ummm, no thanks ~but “to each their own� and all😉 and perhaps ask about getting an STD test before screwing with no condoms??!!!!
As for Wolf: Why would you let your enemy’s son leave after they threatened to do horrible things to your wife, family & club?!!� I’d be keeping him as insurance/collateral!!!

REVIEW: 3.5 stars--SETH is the fifth instalment in Crimson Syn’s contemporary, adult HELL’S LOVERS MC erotic, romance novella series focusing on the men and women of the Hell’s Lover MC. This is twenty-one year old nanny Ciara Morton, and Hell’s Lovers MC treasurer Seth Scardino’s story line. SETH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout the series. Seth is the brother of the Hell’s Lovers MC Sargent at Arms Cain Scardino (CAIN#4).
NOTE: SETH contains graphic language and text, and mature themes. It may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Seth and Ciara) SETH focuses on the acrimonious relationship between Hell’s Lovers MC treasurer Seth Scardino, and the MC president’s nanny Ciara Morton. Ordered to protect the MC president’s wife and child, Seth Scardino finds himself drawn to their nanny Ciara Morton, a woman who struggles within the confines of a lock-down meant to protect her life. Oblivious to the potential danger, our heroine continues to push the boundaries of her recent ‘captivity� and in doing so pushes all of Seth Scardino’s over-protective, alpha male buttons. The Columbian Cartel remain a threat in the wake of the Los Perdidos MC destruction, and Seth has been tasked with protecting Scarlet Chase, her daughter Ryder, and the woman that calls to his heart. What ensues is the tempestuous and caustic back and forth relationship between Seth and Ciara, and the potential fall out as the Cartel get too close to the Hell’s Lovers MC.
The relationship between Seth and Ciara is cutting and abrasive. Their one on one confrontations are petulant and combative hiding a palpable sexual energy that everyone sees but our leading couple. There are some scenes of questionable consent in the wake of our heroine’s ambiguous signals, desire and disgust. The $ex scenes are aggressive, erotic and intense. (Still not a fan of a certain four-letter word, regardless in which genre or usage it has been applied).
The character building is limited. There is little in the way of backstory or history. We know very little about their earlier years although Ciara’s over protective brothers make a cameo appearance and threaten to destroy our story line hero.
SETH is a dark and wicked story line as one woman battles her attraction to a man she knows is all kinds of wrong but feels so right. The premise is imaginative and gritty: the romance is carnal and dirty; the characters are destructive and dynamic.

This is the fifth book in this series and they are better read in order. While each book has its own story, there is a main story that goes through out the whole series. Ciara was hired to help care for Ryder and help both woman out as well. Seth was tasked with watching out for her and Ryder while they were at a safe location while club things were going down. Seth can’t help but fall for Ciara. Ciara likes Seth just as much. Both of them are fighting themselves on how they really feel about each other. Neither wants to be the one that gives into their feelings for the other. But soon they find themselves unable to stay away from each other anymore. But things may not be that easy for them. Seth soon finds himself faced with Ciara going on dates with other men and then the appearance of her brothers. Ciara also has seen somethings that force her to face her feelings for Seth. This book does have a few things that people may not like. Seth is a man who takes what he wants when he wants. He is willing to fight Ciara to show her how good it can be between them if she would just give it a chance. I loved this book so much and can’t wait to read the next one in this series. This book was dirty, a bit raunchy at times, and sexy as hell. Of course, there is danger with the cartel lurking around waiting for their chance to strike. I highly recommend this series.

Did this series get better or is just me?
Things are getting intense for Hell's Lovers. One gang removed, but another steps in. They're protecting the brotherhood. They're protecting the families and they are falling in love. Ah, but you can't be just any lady to own their heart. It takes a special woman to hold them down as well as keep up with them.
Take Ciara. After living her whole life under the protection of her family, she takes the job as Hell Lover's nanny to find her way. But she left one controlling lifestyle and attracted a sexy, possessive, protective alpha. Seth. A man who doesn't believe in love, but feels this pull toward Ciara and he can't explain it. The fun part of these two? Their fight is bigger than either one knows.
I love the flow that Crimson is developing with this series. I love that she doesn't shy away from the explicit sexiness which is what I love. Also, I love how she is balancing both the drama and romance. Her characters are all strong, confident, and easy to connect with.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series and cannot wait to see how all these pieces come together. Especially now that I know what Gunner and Diesel are all about.

Fast, furious and inferno hot is what this story is. This book is packed full of all of the action you would expect from a MC. The drama continues with the cartel that is trying to take over the docks from the Hell's Lovers, and things are only getting more tense as Seth is attacked. But it's the tension between Seth and Ciara that will have you anxiously turning page after page to see when they will finally hook up and honey, when they do, their heat will leave you fanning yourself for hours afterwards.
The characters are absolutely wonderful, with Seth's extreme alpha male self and Ciara is strong willed, smart, sassy, beautiful and is the perfect sexual partner for Seth. Best part is, they both have feelings for each other and with her brother making a threat to Seth to keep away from his sister, Seth sets his plan into action to make sure that she is his and that her brother will not be able to say a word about it. But first, there is the cartel to deal with.
Absolutely amazing read and I highly recommend this book. Oh and start with the first book in the series...I promise you will not regret it!

I want more from this couple. I feel a little cheated. No, not really, it’s just that I loved the innocent babysitter Ciara being taken by our latest bad boy of the Hell’s Lovers gang Seth. Oh, my goodness!
This latest installment left me breathless and needing to know what’s going to happen next.
Crimson Syn not only tells a story of extremely overprotective alpha men but the danger they face and the brutal way they handle things. I can’t tell you enough how much you are missing out on if you haven’t started this series. GRAB IT NOW!

Just when I think they can't get any hotter, here comes Seth and Ciara. These two have such a battle of wills that when they finally meet in the middle it's a freaking explosion! I'm in awe of how the Hell's Lovers MC series keeps getting better! Next up is Gunner and I can't wait to see what's in store for him!

Still at war with the cartel, the Hell's Lovers MC has been actively protecting their families. Ciara was hired to watch over the littlest biker. Seth in turn, is watching over Ciara for completely different reasons. With the threat of retaliation ever present will Seth get the chance to make Ciara his?

Okay this book has some kinky stuff in it and i love everything about it. I like the fact that you mixed Erotica and MC together, it's action packed with sweetness and happy ending, can't wait for "Gunner"

I enjoyed reading this book. Seth and Ciara are complete opposites. Seth is tough around the edges and Ciara is innocence and purity out together. This series is starting to heat and I can't wait to read what happens.

Another quick hot read. I'm loving following these hot, possessive alpha males. It's quick and to the point, with trouble brewing with another problem for this club.

Seth Scardino is the Treasurer for Hell's Lovers MC. He does not believe in love and wants his women and sex to be dirty.
Ciara Morton is 21 and the granddaughter of Greg Marlowe. She is the nanny for the club helping Scarlett and Rahyne with their kids.
As tensions heat up between Hell's Lovers and a Columbian Cartel run by Juan de la Cruz it is apparent that no one is safe.
As the sexual tension builds up between Seth and Ciara who will be the first to give in and will Seth realize that he is headed for more than just a one night stand?
This is another great book in the Hell's Lovers MC series. I was curious to see if the author was going to explore the Cartel angle after the death of Tuco Moreno and the end of the book gives us a glimpse of what is to come with The Gremlins.
Seth was another fun character as he is a typical alpha male who believes he should be able to get any woman that he looks at and I loved how Ciara was resisting him the best she could. I loved when Ciara was watching Seth in the club and how he changed what he was doing the moment he realized she was looking.
The tension between Ciara and Seth was super hot and I loved the Diesel part! It definitely made me laugh!
I loved to see more of Ciara's brothers in the future as I think the Navy Seals would be a great addition to the club!
This book had some more action with club members getting injured and being attacked. I'd like a book on Ryan Simon now that the clubs are working together!

This book is book five in the hell’s lovers MC series. I liked this book. I liked the storyline and the characters. I will admit that Seth isn’t my favourite MC brother but I still liked him. I liked that Seth tried his hardest to resist Ciara but in the end he couldn’t fight the attraction. I liked Ciara. I liked her attitude and her character. I liked that she had two over protective brothers that she wasn’t afraid to stand up to.
Overall, I liked this story. I liked the characters and cannot wait for more books in this series.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for Gunner’s story and more releases from Crimson Syn.

I'm starting to think Crimson Syn is covering all the possible fantasies.. steamy!!! So far I think Riggs, Seth, and then Cain are my favs.
My only criticisms are pretty much the same as before; length of the book and there are a few grammar issues. (ex: The words worst and worse are not the same.)

I’m loving this series of hot MC men and their woman who can give as well as take. Seth and Ciara’s story continues the story of the Colombians trying to get to the club to make them help in trading. Threatening the club and their women isn’t going down well with Wolf and he will do everything to protect them all. I can’t wait to read more from this series and get to know more about the other brothers and who they will meet and the outcome from it all. A must read series.

Good series. Seth's story was hot and steamy. Plenty of MC action.

These Hell’s Lovers just keep getting sexier by the book! Ms Syn has written a great addition to the series. We not only delve into our Treasurer, Seth, we catch up on the club members and their Mexican Cartel troubles.
Seth is a rough and crude biker on the outside but boy does he fall hard and become mush when it comes to Ciara. As for Ciara, Baby Ryder’s babysitter, she is a fiery spitfire who gives Seth a run for his money.
I live the Hells Lover’s MC group and can’t wait for Gunner (I believe he’s Up next). If you haven’t read the series, I highly recommend them! You won’t be sorry!

Oh my! If you enjoyed the bad boys in the first few books of Hell's Lovers MC then you are going to love Seth. He's dominant and dirty talking and used to getting what he wants. Even when he knows he shouldn't. He shouldn't be attracted to Ciara, she's young and innocent and completely out of his league, but none of that stops him from wanting to claim her.
With the threat of the Los Perdidos gang still hanging overhead the last thing Seth needs to be focused on is a woman but there's just something about Ciara that draws him in. And like the rest of the Hell's Lovers men he will stop at nothing to protect his woman.
I thought Seth's book was a great addition to this series and I can't wait for Gunner's book!

I normally really like this series, for an MC series, but this book fell right in line with all the other MC books out there. Seth is charged with watching over Wolf’s family, Grayson’s family & Ciara, whom he lust after, but is too much of a coward to do anything about it. So, they all end up going back with everyone else after months of being stuck together in a remote cabin.
So, here’s the reason this only gets 3 stars and honestly, if she wasn’t such a good writer I would have given it less. She goes on a date with another one of the guys from the MC...he would have been my first choice for her. Nothing happened, he just happen to be the guy that was brave enough to ask her out. Seth’s mad...he should have done something about it, but was to busy doing every other girl at the club. She walks in the club to see some girl going down on him...naturally he doesn’t stop the girl. Are he and Ciara dating, no because he’s a coward, but they could’ve been. He then has the nerve to go after her saying she’s his...wtaf? Uh, that would be a big ass no. Tip #1....don’t run after a girl after you had your d*ick in someone else’s mouth...disrespectful as hell.
I actually liked the rest of the book, but I couldn’t un-read that, just like I’m sure she couldn’t un-see it. Then because her brothers don’t want her dating him...I really liked her brothers...just sayin. Seth plans to seduce her and knock her up, which normally I’d be all for...except he’s him and I don’t like him. He should have tried harder before the incident, I just felt Ciara didn’t know any better since her brothers were so protective growing up. By the end of the book he’s spouting love, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Definitely, not my kind of book, but if you’re an MC book lover then this will be perfect for you.
