Micah The heart of a rebel with the soul of a devil. I’ve always known that the Rebel Souls MC wasn’t my destiny. As much as I loved being Jake’s VP, it wasn’t in the cards for me. My soul was restless and Jake wasn’t willing to take the risks needed to satisfy my hunger. So when he handed me my freedom, I created the Devil’s Inferno.
We thrived on the fear of others and nothing stopped us from getting what we wanted.
The problem with having this much power is the addiction. Every addiction needs to be fed and after the last few years we’ve had, I want out. Passing the reigns to my son was always the plan, but the path he wants to take has given me second thoughts.
What he fails to understand is that addiction and greed come with a higher price. You either pay in blood or you pay with your life.
My sins have fed his demons and he has the potential to become a true leader. But am I willing to sacrifice my legacy and watch everything I’ve built get destroyed?
I've been a book lover for as long as I can remember. Stories have a way of expanding the mind, making you question, what if? Four years ago, I stepped into the Book World as a blogger, and from that passion, The Erotic Book Review was born.
While I enjoy all genres, I'm especially drawn to Romance with a kinky edge. I believe that following your passion unlocks creativity and endless possibilities. There's something magical about taking readers on a journey, pulling them so deeply into a world that they feel every emotion, every moment. That love for storytelling led me to write, and now, I have the joy of sharing my words with others. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I love bringing them to life.
I live in North Georgia with the love of my life, my husband of over 30 years. When I’m not writing or reading, you’ll find me solving puzzles, meeting new people, learning about different cultures, watching football, or binge-watching my favorite shows.
One quote I live by.."Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
This book was packed full of so many things that make some book that you just can’t put down and become so enthralled with. Micah/Snake was ready to step down as President of the Devil’s Inferno MC and for his son to step up to follow the legacy but there was so much more to this part of the story alone that by the end my heart broke for Micah.
Micah and Cami had a thing years ago but without Micah committing Cami left for college and forged her own path in life…even though there were so many secrets that would have crushed her if she ever found out. Now years later Micah knows what he has lost and wants to make confessions and bring Cami back to him. He also wants his club to leave their old ways and create a new path for the club that he started but at what cost will that happen.
This was an action-packed MC romance that had my feelings all over the place and it was a book that I couldn’t put down.

Thetta James’ Devil’s Betrayal is so much more than a second chance romance, as she also dives into the struggles Micah, the Devil’s Inferno MC president, faces as he tries to get his club out of some of its shadier dealings before handing the reigns over to his son Ezra, and retiring from MC life. I absolutely love that this story features mature characters who find their second chance together later in life. Too much stood in their way once Camilla went away to college and Micah became immersed in the MC life. Even all these years later, they still have many obstacles in their way but Micah is determined to get her back and Camilla can’t deny her heart always belonged to him. Past secrets and regrets, Camilla’s son being the president of the Devil’s rival MC, and the power hungry greed of Micah’s son all combine to create a captivating story. Devil’s Betrayal is full of twists and turns and raw, gritty emotions as Micah is forced to make tough decisions about the future of the club and his son, but Camilla is there to support him and they finally get their happy ending together!
This is the first book I've read by this author and it's not going to be my last. This is a touching second chance story done in the MC world.
There is regret, mistakes, redemption, and forgiveness all seamlessly woven into the fabric of the MC World. The main characters in this book are older adults with adult kids. They were each other's first love but life happened. Micah is at the stage in life ready to retire and hand over the gavel. His past mistakes have been weighing him down and he's seeking retribution for the pain he caused.
Micah and Camille's reunion unravels hidden truths and emotions. Their reunion is sweet, with heartfelt emotions, and a tinge of pain, that had me empathizing for what was lost and what could have been.
Thetta James skillfully bridged feelings of heartbreak, lies, betrayal, deceit, and retribution, which left me raw with emotions
I enjoyed the characters being older adults with adult children which added a layer of realism to the story, and the issues with adult kids added drama to the book which was needed.
I would recommend this book to readers who appreciate romance with mature characters.
Micah wasn't always the bad man. He became what he needed to be when he formed his own MC. When he was young, he was headstrong and didn't like school, doing the minimum to get through. The highlight of his day was Cami, his sweet, innocent girlfriend as far as the world knew. She was all his, contrary to the wishes of her parents. She grounded him, the light to his dark. He knew she wanted more in life including continuing her education and he was honest with her to the end. He couldn't commit and he didn't want to hold her back. He pushed her to go away to college and kept her at arms length when she visited for holidays. He never wanted to be the reason she didn't succeed but he did succeed in pushing her into another man's arms. Now times and things have changed. He had a son and she had her family. Because of personal decisions, she is on her own again. Micah decided it's time to claim the love of his life! Will Cami give in? Will Micah finally have a life full of love and peace?
I truly enjoyed this late in life second chance love story. It helps remind me that love is always an option and not just for young people. Couples can use their experiences in life to enhance their relationship. Thetta shows this as well as giving excitement thru the final trials of Micah's journey back to Cami. She truly can tell a story from all angles taking you right to the heart and making you feel each beat!
Devil’s Betrayal is unlike the other books in Thetta James MC World.
While I still had the thrill and action I've come to expect from this incredible world, Micah and Cami's story is a heartfelt second chance love story.
Secrets, redemption, and forgiveness thread these two broken hearts. Stitching back together, two lost loves with a seam so strong, neither side can break or deny the force of Fate.
Knowing the type of man Micah was and the things he has done, I never thought I'd be standing on the side lines, shaking a pair of pom-poms, and cheering for his happily ever after... but I did!
I loved everything about this story. Although it's a short read and I wanted so much more... Thetta James worked her magic with words, giving me once again an unforgettable story!
5 stars to the moon and back for second chance love!
Micah and Camille's story is beautiful. As Micah gets older he realizes the mistakes he's made in his life. He seeks retribution for the pain he caused and the heavy weight of guilt he carries. An innocent man who lost his life. Camille has always loved Micah even though she married someone else. When the truth came out about his other life, instead of facing the consequences he ended his own life. Years later Micah and Camille are reunited. Camille want answers about her husband's life. Micah is ready to reveal the truth in hopes Camille can forgive him. My heart went out to Micah regarding Hawk. I felt his pain. So heartbreaking. An emotional read filled with heartbreak, lies, betrayal, deceit, retribution and love.
Thetta James wrote a book I could not put down. She's amazing. I cried laughing. The Russian mafia, it was so good to see Russian people represented. The way it was written was masterful. I applaud Thetta. Russian mafia is definitely ruthless from what I have watched in Russian movies. The way she made the accent so clear made me laugh because it's so true.
Now..... the love between Micah and Camille. SWOON. He is definitely book boyfriend lover material. I know I was reading older hero/heroine but it was soooo satisfying. It was an incredible second chance story. I was not expecting the book to be so AWESOME! It was unexpected and I loved every minute of it. Thetta James, I am honored to know you and I'm so happy I get to read your words. Thank you!!
Thetta has pulled at my heart strings again! I don’t know how she does it but it’s like she knows how to read my mind and put my life experiences in her story. The older we get, the more set in our ways we are. The more we don’t think love will find us again. That it’s just not meant for us to have again. Whether it’s a past love or someone you want and don’t think you could ever have. Whether it’s your kids that you don’t think will approve… all of that doesn’t matter. You deserve to be happy! Go for it! Micah and Camille have proved that! Fictional characters can also teach us lessons. Thank you Thetta for always keeping it real! 💜🔥🏍️
Devil’s Betrayal by Thetta James is the story of Micah and Camille (Cami). He is the president of the Devil’s Inferno MC and she is the love of his life…but, was married to another. The back story for this romance is so convoluted and confusing I kept thinking I had somehow jumped into the middle of an MC series. But, nope…this is book 1. The constant switching between the characters’ given names and MC names was so confusing, referring to both, at times, in the same paragraph. The names were apparently interchangeable…with nearly every character.
The story was pretty good. But, just not able to get into it. 3.5 stars.
As is true MC style Author Thetta James takes you on a ride. And, what a ride it is! I loved everything about Micah and Camille's (Cami) story especially that this couple is older. Their story is intriguing, and their romance explosive. Thetta delivers a story with characters who are engaging. Micah and Camille's story has tension, suspense, raw emotion, and heat. This combines into a captivating and heart-wrenching, heartwarming story of second-chance romance. Hands down this is a 5-star read.
Wooooww! I have never been into MC books, but Thetta James has totally won me over with her series. I really enjoyed reading Micah's back story. We really get to know the man behind the ruthless Devils. This book is about his journey living the life of a hard MC prez, and we get to know his soft side as he finally let's love in his life. Camille brings the spark of hope and love back into him and its fireworks when they are together. I loved reading their happily ever after and I'm anxiously waiting for more stories by Thetta James!
Devil’s Betrayal by Thetta James was an unexpected treat. I enjoy reading her stories of all genres. This MC spin off is a second chance romance for us slightly older crew. After reading her Rebel Souls, it is entertaining to get a broader picture of the “bad guys”.
Micah and Cami deal with so many struggles. The angst is high and the desire is strong. I highly recommend reading this story even if you haven’t begun any others in this series.
This is my first read by this author and I can't help but wonder what's taken me so long. Devil's Betrayal is Micah and Cami' journey and it's emotional, intense, gritty and heartbreaking at times. Their path to forever was a long time coming and lots had to be forgiven along the way. This story is about family, loyalty and that very forgiveness. A great introduction to this new to me author.
Thetta James, thank you for the book I didn't know I needed! Camille and Micah's story was beautiful and grabbed my heart in its hands. Your way with words made me feel each moment. Devil's Betrayal is my new favorite story from you. Thank you for bringing these amazing characters into your readers' lives, especially mine. You are an amazing artist, and I appreciate you and your work. Thank you!!!
What a wild and chaotic journey! A reconnecting relationship, deception, secrets, and angst made for a page turner. Difficult decisions, emotions and passion which gave me all the feels! Incredible read!
Micah makes some good decisions for the MC, that lead to some very hard decisions regarding one member. Camille finally listens to Micah explains things from the past. I thoroughly enjoyed their story.
A beautiful story full of pain, betrayal, love and heartbreak. See full review of Beyond the Covers Blog here on Goodreads and check us out on Facebook.. http://beyondthecoversblog.blogspot.com
I adored this second-chance romance. Micah and Camille's story, deeply touched me. Their turbulent history and the emotional tension of rekindling their love, especially when Camille considers the impact on her family, made for a compelling read. The intertwining of their story with the grit of MC life and the weighty life-changing decisions was captivating. There was a specific scene that had me in tears for Micah, showcasing just how invested I was in the characters and storyline crafted by Ms. James.
My first book by Thetta James and it certainly won't be the last. This is a way to start a series. It was gripping and it had me hooked from the first page. It was the book cover that first attracted me to it and I'm so glad that I did. I highly recommend this book.

WOW! EEP! NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! TALK ABOUT A LOVE ADVENTURE ON A STEEL HORSE. 5 STARS!
WOW! EEP! NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! Talk about a love adventure! This book was a highly anticipated read for me and I’m happy to say IT DELIVERED in true Thetta James style! Devil's Betrayal by author Thetta James is a beautifully written, soft, tender and exciting second chance at love MC love story. It dives deep into loyalty, unending commitment, hopes for redemption, an all consuming love after years of being apart, betrayal of the worst kind and shocking truths that will take your breath away. The title of this book couldn't be more spot on.
Micah is President of the Devil's Inferno Motorcycle Club who is determined to retire and live out the rest of his life in peace with Camille, the woman he gave up three decades ago. If only he could convince her of that. When Micah puts his mind to something, he's like a pit bull and a force to be reckoned with if you get in his way.
Micah has a past filled with unspeakable crimes but has seen the error of his ways and is determined to pass the torch and leave the club/his legacy in the hands of someone who will take the Devil’s Inferno into new and unchartered territory without all the blood, guts and violence and god awful crimes they were known for. Family ties to the club, deceit and questionable sanity make this task even more difficult for Micah. But he will not leave this club in the hands of someone determined to bring down the club.
As I’ve said, he has his sights set on Camille. Only one problem... Camille is the mother of the president of The Rebel Souls MC. A Rival MC with an extremely volatile and violent history between them and the Devil’s Inferno and rightly so. A history of lies and truths needs to be spoken in order to hopefully move ahead. But what will happen between them once her son finds out? Will it be the end of his dream to be with her? How would her son react? Will the past become too much to overcome and start anew? Great questions but loose lips sink ships and all…. You’ll have to find out for yourself by reading this little beauty.
Does this love come easy for Micah and Camille? Hell no, but good things come to those who wait... or do they? Good love is hard to find. So when you see it, know it and crave it, it's a love worth fighting for. Devil's Betrayal is a seriously intoxicating, knock down dragged out fight for absolute true love that stands the test of time. Devil’s Betrayal is a quick but very entertaining read that is jam packed with non stop energy. You never know what to expect next because of all the suspense driven elements. And believe you me, you don’t want to miss a thing. There is betrayal around every corner.
The relationship between Micah and his son is harrowing, heartbreaking and utterly gut wrenching. Micah’s reaction at the scene towards the end with his brother’s left me gutted. Why? Sorry that’s all my lips are spilling.
The author kept this story real and unpredictable. This story is a bit different from her Rebel Souls series. It’s softer yet no less exciting and nail biting. What I love about this story is, just because it’s an MC story doesn’t mean there has to be globs and globs of violence. To me this is a story about love. Micah’s love for Camille, his love for his son and his love for his club and he’s trying to do the right thing by everyone but I especially adore his love for his woman. I mean good gawd man, I need a Micah of my own. Hmm. Maybe I’ll have to fight Camille for him. Nope, she’d problem end me for even trying.
I LOVED THIS STORY. I was left with this thought in the end. It’s never too late to go after the love of your life just because you’re over 50. Love can be even more magical and exciting during that time in your life. This love story most certainly rivals young love because of experience, history and years of living a hard life and simply knowing what you want. No drama, foolishness and wasting more time. Grab the bull by the horns and take what each of us so rightly deserve. Love.
Kudos and a huge THANK YOU to Author Thetta James for delivering this special romance to her readers. Grab Devil’s Betrayal, a beautiful 5-STAR READ that will leave you breathless. Just like it did for me. This is a story I’ll read again and again. It just feels good because love has no limits.
Thetta James masterfully weaves a web of power and betrayal, lies and deceit, love and lust. Missed opportunities and new beginnings.
Devils Betrayal is considered an MC story but it is so much more! Its about second chances and making up for past mistakes. Revealing secrets from the past that could finally lead to redemption. And how power and greed can completely change the trajectory of the path that would have led to your legacy.
Micah always thought his son, Hawk would take over. But now that he is getting ready to retire, he is not sure that is the best decision. Going legit has been his wish for quite some time but he wants to make sure his club has a strong basis to stand on before he steps down.
However, not everyone shares his enthusiasm. Hawk relishes in the money that trafficking brings and undermines Micahs authority, fighting him on it every chance he gets. Falling deeper and deeper into greed and power, Micah must decide if someone else is better suited to be his successor and lead the Devils down the right path.
Wanting to retire in peace, feeling confident his legacy will live on, he has some soul searching to do deep inside himself to figure out what's best for his Club and himself.
With that, comes past regrets the biggest being his first and only true love, Cami. They were on two different paths in life but fate has a funny way of circling back and putting you right where you belong when you need it most. Can secrets from the past be brought to light and forgiven? Or has too much time past that what once was could never be again?
The one thing I love about Thettas books are her story arcs. She doesnt rush her story or characters and she lets you get to know them and become familiar with them. It's easy to put yourself in their shoes and to sympathize with their situation. Their emotions are raw and relatable leaving you captivated from the very start!
Angsty and action packed, Devil's Betrayal is full of inner turmoil, heartbreak, retribution, redemption and second chances all in one fast, page turning book. I'm definitely not done with the Devils Inferno and can't wait to read the next book in the series! I'm completely invested.
Devil's Betrayal by Thetta James is the first book released in the Devil's Inferno World MC series. This is also the first book of Thetta James that I've read. I like the characters she has created for her part of this series but just wish the story wasn't so confusing. The whole time I read I felt like I was missing something, like a book or series that should have been read before this one to understand what was happening. Micah is the prez of the MC and Camille is his ex. This story is based 30 years after they split and how Micah is trying to clean up Camille's dead husband's mess from hurting anyone else. It's a tug-of-war story between Micah and Camille with her adopted son Eagle another MC prez thrown into it. Secrets are revealed that change lives and betrayals in and out of the club become costly. Micah has lived on the wrong side for so long that he feels now he has to make up for the bad (like trafficking girls) so the club will have a future but not all members are for it. I gave this a 1-star rating and a 2-spicy rating. I just couldn't understand what was happening in this book since it felt like I was missing an entire chunk. Nothing was explained clearly and I almost DNF a couple of times but I pushed through because I had high hopes for this series. At this point I'm not sure if I will finish the series when the rest come out. *I received this book for free. I voluntarily gave an honest review.*
This is fairly complex and starts with 4 friends, Cami and Snake are a couple until the end of high school she goes off to college and one of the others go as well. From there things change and evolve not for the good, in many ways their lives continue to cross. One thing stays constant and that's love, a bond is stretched put to the side but doesn't stop. Rivals, betrayal, violence are all played out over the years, trust has to be earned, past deeds uncovered and understood before forgiveness and new bonds can be developed. Great characters both good and bad, it's sad sometimes to see where good goes bad. This is my first read by this author and I found it suspenseful and interesting, I wonder if the initial sparks and characters actually start in another series and this spins off from that. Certain characters and events mentioned lead me to think that's the case but either way I was able to enjoy and not feel that I was missing anything to spoil it, though I guess it might have given that extra bit of depth of background. It held my focus and was well written, the characters felt human with flaws and vulnerabilities, honesty even when showing themselves in a bad way. Definitely an author to look out for in the future.
I loved reading about Micah and Cami! A must read story and a page turner! Micah is President of Devil’s Inferno ready to retire. His son is Vice President hoping to take over. Can Micah trust his son enough to leave his club to him? All I got to say is he better prove himself if he wants to do so. Wait til you find out what happens! It could possibly break Micah’s heart to pieces.
Cami and Micah dated back in the day, but her parents weren’t happy with that. They had such great chemistry. She married another man, Franklin, whom she went to school with eventually. Micah never fully got over her. Now Cami is single, you will find out why, and Micah is bound and determined to make her his. Will he be able to do that? Once he tells her the truth about Franklin, will she believe him? It still seems like Micah and Cami have the spark that was there back in the day. Will love prevail for them in the end finally? Will Micah be able retire and not worry about his club going to someone who will destroy what it has become? All I got to say is this book will have you wanting to keep reading til the end.
Micah has a very dark past & now that he's gotten older, he's been straightening his MC out before stepping down as President, plus he's got all kinds of regret to boot. His son who is supposed to take over but won't get it together as said son doesn't want the MC to stop what it used to do so Micah is struggling with something that he'll be forced to do if his son keeps going like he is. On top of that, he fell in love with Cami when they were much younger but it didn't work out & she went on to marry someone else who ended up working with Micah. Now that her husband is gone, and Micah has changed up his life, he's determined to pursue Cami again, but let me tell you, why they're totally perfect for each other, there's a lot of complications in the mix as well with all kinds of secrets coming out. This story was a whirlwind of twists coming in hot on top of the second chance with a kicker of intense heat so I was on the edge of my seat turning the pages like a mad person. There wasn't really any down time so over the top exciting was the name of the game, and man I never wanted the story to end so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
A true second chance at romance for Micah in amongst his world as Prez of the Devils MC. Life has dealt Micah some hard knocks over his time being in an MC, and one of them was leaving behind the love of his life Cami. When the opportunity arises, and he is able to finally make Cami his again, he does not hesitate in trying to win back her love. A story with a lot of angst within the MC world. As brothers, the MC stay loyal to each other, but when Micah finds that his own son is betraying the club, decisions need to be made. It is a hard road for Micah and with him trying to leave the MC life behind, retirement does not come easy. Trying to keep the club going in the direction that he envisions and winning back Cami's love take it's toll. How does Micah and Cami get their HEA. Rival clubs and the bratva all become entangled to cause lasting issues for Micha. A well written, emotional story that holds you captive until finally Cami and Micah get their HEA they so deserve.
Micah is the MC Prez for the Devil's Inferno MC. He doesn't have it easy, especially when his son thinks he should become Pres when his father leaves. Micah hooks up again with Cami, his first love whom he pushed away to go to college and get the education she deserves. Years later, they meet, and despite everyone trying to pull them apart, they persevere since they deserve some happiness. It was lovely to see a second chance romance for a change with people in their later years rather than when they are younger. There is hope for all of us maybe one day. I received an arc for my voluntary honest review for NNBB. You will enjoy this read if you love an MC second chance romance. Thetta doesn't disappoint by giving you all the feels with them finding all their love over again.
