Bolt Saga #1a
Bolt #1
A powerful man… A shocking secret…
Working the night shift at a five-star hotel in downtown Los Angeles, Emmalina Crist has had her fair share of strange encounters. But none of them have prepared her for the experience of meeting the enigmatic Reece Richards.
Emma’s connection with Reece is hot as hell and impossible to ignore, resulting in a night of passion that’s unlike anything she’s ever experienced—but even the man’s magical lips and hands aren’t worth repeating the indiscretion. Sleeping with the boss—especially when he’s one of the world’s most notorious players—is a dire mistake under normal circumstances, but even more so with business booming because of Bolt, the mysterious “superhero” turning downtown LA into a truly supercharged tourist destination.
What if Reece could tell Emma their electric attraction is more than just passionate chemistry? That the superhero she celebrates and the lover she resists are the same man? Reece knows that sharing his secret with Emma means exposing her to the same lunatics who are out to destroy him. Can he take that chance?

Oh my word! This series is/will be AH MAZING!!! I don't think you guys even realize how funny and heart warming this book was. Emma was such a sweet heart. Who works for hotel as their guest relations specialists who is constantly striving for more. that even I was like I want to do more.. and the fact that she turned play boy turned science experiment Reece Richards into a "real boy" lol. Reece starts the series as a guy who has a lot of money and way to much time on his hands where he is constantly chasing the next big high where he runs into the evil hitch Angelique La Salle and her big bad guys of the consortium of assholes who turn Reece into a walking lightening rod. Effectively ending his days of a man whore.
I can not wait to see where Angel Payne takes us next in this amazing series!

Reece Richards aka Bolt, a rich spoiled playboy by birth, a Super Hero by fate.
Emmalina Crist, running from her life of privilege, a life she doesn't want, moves to LA and takes a job as a Reservations Manager at Hotel Brocade, Reece's family owned chain of hotels.
From the moment Reece and Emma met, while working, there were sparks, turning quickly to fill blown flames. Can these flames continue to burn, or will something or someone from the past douse the flames with ice water.
Bolt, is an upgraded version of The Misadventures With A Super Hero. It was good then, and just as good the second time around. I'm looking forward to continuing the story of Reece and Emma, in future installments of Bolt Saga. Kudos Angel, on her another 5 star book.

Bolt is an electrifying, sizzling, heart-warming, and scintillating must-read, as can be expected from an enchanting author such as Angel Payne. How many books have we read where the heroine falls in love with her boss? I can only imagine. Bolt is in a league of its own and proves why ANGEL PAYNE is one of my all-time favorite authors, my go-to for escape, my go-to for sheer fun!
Reece Richards…he is the perfect example of tortured hero. Bad boy with the bad reputation turned super hero in the truest form? Gotta love him.
Emmalina Crist…she is the example of a woman determined to make it big on her own, until a certain Bolt lights up her life and shows her more.
This is a book that pulls you in and makes you never want to leave. I completely enjoyed the chemistry between Reece and Emma. I felt their passion and desire, I felt their heartbreak. It wouldn’t be an Angel Payne novel without all three. As I read, I felt like I was watching a super hero movie! I wanted to be like both Emma and Reece. It’s a weird thing to say, but you’ll have to read it for yourself to understand why.
Bolt is not just about Reece and Emma. There are other quirky and hilarious supporting characters, too. They made me laugh, roll my eyes, or want to give them a “gentle” smack upside their heads. And last but not least, what would a super hero novel be without a villain! In this case, it’s Reece’s ex and she is no average ex. In my opinion, she’s evil and makes me want to join Reece in vanquishing her!
Overall, I really loved this! And who else could rock a super hero novel better than Angel Payne? NO ONE!! Thank you, Angel, for such an entertaining read. I look forward to more of your work!

My expectations for this book were HIGH, and I was NOT disappointed! Angel Payne absolutely slayed
this book and I cannot wait for the next installment! Reece Richards is a rich playboy by birth, turned Superhero by a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was it? Bolt had me turning pages as quickly as possible!
Emmalina (Emma) Crist is running from a life of privilege so she moves to LA and takes a job as a Reservations Manager at Hotel Brocade. Reece just happens to own these hotels. Reece and Emma meet while working and it is like SPARKS, INSTALUST, WOWZAAA, KABAMMMM! (Seriously it is!) I have absolutely enjoyed following Reece and Emma's journey together and cannot wait for the next installment.
Bolt comes from The Misadventures With A Super Hero book from the Misadventures Series. I had read the Misadventures version first and was hooked! Angel Payne is rocking the Bolt Saga and I need more!

Struck by Lightning...
Offer me a story that is sci-fi, has a Super Hero dressed in leather and a mask and is 100 Shades of Hot, and I am jumping on that train in a heartbeat.
Reece Richards is much more than the head of one of the most cutting edge hotels in L.A. He sheds his 3-piece suit for a super hero ensemble when low life criminals call. Up to this point he has had no choice but to accept this life of isolation with no hope of ever having a chance to find someone to care for or fall in love with. That is until Emmalina Crist.
Emma works at Reece's hotel and is smart, savvy and has a spark plug personality. Reece and Emma share an electrifying night of passion that changes both their lives and rethinking everything they have ever believed in. When together they make a very powerful couple and a force to be reckoned with. Angel Payne has made this closet dweeb full of anticipation to find out more about Emma and Reece's future adventures together.

I adored Reece and Emma the first time around and that still holds true. This story is so much fun you just keep reading to see what they will do next. Reece / Bolt our Business owner / Super Hero has his hands full with fighting the bad guys, running a towering hotel and trying to have a love life with Emmalina Crist. She is feisty and smart-mouthed but more importantly, she does not cringe or seem afraid of him one bit. Their banter is funny. Their swoony moments are adorable and their sexy scenes are so hot they could burn the pages. Finding a way to just be Reece and Emma is a challenge but they survive the trial with flying colors! Surprises happen they you don't see coming and I love how they are handled! I cannot wait to bury myself in the next installments. #AngelPayne #SuperHero #TeamBolt

I was completely blown away by this book. The amount of passion and suspense completely blew my mind. The main characters have great chemistry. This book made you want more. I love the characters, Reese and Emma are great and you can almost feel the sparks between them. This book was very fun to read and I can’t wait for the next one.

Reece and Emma have sparks flying with their wildly sexy, funny and intriguing HEA! Emma job at the Brocade was one that she needed to prove to her family that she was more that just another pamper OC trust fund kid. She wants to make it on her own and working the night shift at this luxury hotel is going to be the way to do it! She never for a minute expected her life to turn into an amalgam of a Harlequin romance and a Marvel Comic - but all that changed when she locked eyes with her boss Reece Richards. Reece was a cavalier reckless playboy until one fateful night lead him astray. The circumstances would forever change him and now he sits and waits for his demise while occasionally making amends for his reckless past behavior. When Emma Crist walks into his life he knows it's just one more glimpse of a life he cannot have and he really does try and stay away from her but the pull of her is just too strong to ignore. Reece will give anything to have Emma forever but he won’t risk her safety and the people that changed him are dangerous. Can this Superman have his cake and eat it too?

Firstly, I’d like to say that I started following Angel via Facebook. This is the first book that I’ve read that is written by her. I honestly didn’t know what to expect upon receiving this book. I didn’t want to google anything or read anyone else’s reviews fearing that there would be spoilers. This book has completely blown me away and I KNOW that this series is going to be one of the best that I have ever read. Again, I didn’t set any expectations for this book, and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint in ANY way. I am really feeling the characters, the story line and this Author. Although this was my first from this Author, it will NOT be my last. Thank you sooooooo much for this read! Can’t wait for #2 & #3!! Solid 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy... WOW! I don't even know where to start with this review. I have never been one to really read paranormal books but I have got to say Angel Payne has definitely changed my mind on this. This story has so many different levels to it. It's loving, funny, charming, whitty and everything in between. It was so hard to put down because no matter where you left off you HAD to know where it was going and what was going to happen. Reece and Emma are the perfect couple. I CANNOT wait to see where their story goes. Angel Payne thank you so much for changing my mind about paranormal. I don't know what I would have done without knowing about this book. Again, Thank you. Everyone else --- #GETBOLTED

Another AMAZING story by Angel Payne. I was already in love with Bolt/Reece and Emma from the original book but this Saga led me down another path with the same electrifying and heartwarming feeling. The chemistry or should I say electricity, between Emma and Bolt burn up the pages. You can’t help but keep turning the pages to find out what’s next.
June 17, 2018
Bolt Saga: Part One by Angel Payne was a great read. Reece Richards is not your normal billionaire. He has a certain electrical current that surrounds him. He believes that because of his "issues" he will never find anyone. That is until he meets Emmalina. I love their story and can't wait to read more of it.
June 22, 2018
I'm not one who typically goes for superhero characters but I really enjoyed this story. Emmalina is the typical female that you can relate too. When she falls for the bad boy, you can feel all the emotions they're going through. There was a bit of jumping around with some gaps that I'm left wanting more. I am so hooked I loved the whole storyline it keeps you wanting more
June 23, 2018
This series I have no doubt will be anything short of amazing. I feel like this one was short and ended at a weird time so maybe reading them in volumes would be better. cant wait to dive in the next one.
June 26, 2018
After reading about Reece and Emma from Misadventures with a Superhero. Bolt was a great way to continue the story of Reece and Emma. Once you start the book you don't want to put it down until you have finished reading it all.
July 6, 2018
If you fell in love with Bolt in Misadventures with a Superhero, then you will love him in this book. Bolt is an expansion of this story and I love it. If you love superheroes then you will love this book

So freaking awesome. I can’t wait to start the next. Scorching hot. I want aBolt of my own. And I love. Emma and her quirky attitude. Give me more.

This is a little different type of romance than what everyone is used to since the main male character is a superhero. I first read Misadventures with a Super Hero by Ms. Payne and this series is an expansion of the original story. I really enjoyed the story and can't wait to read more of the Saga to find out more about Emmalina and Reece.
Emmalina Crist is working the night shift at the Brocade Hotel in hospitality to ensure the customers are happy with their stay. She meets Reece Richards on the same night that she and her co-workers saw on tv this superhero saving people from a robber. There seems to be some type of attraction between Emmalina and Reece but neither one thought anything of it until Emmalina brings Reece some reports at his penthouse. The attraction is still there and both act upon it but still can't figure out why it's happening. Emmalina decides after their night together that she needs to stay away from Reece but Reece can't seem to make that promise.
Reece wants Emmalina in his life but he has a secret that he knows he doesn't want Emmalina to find out since it could put her in danger. Reece must find a way to be with Emmalina while keeping her out of danger. These 2 have so much chemistry that it's electrifying!

I was a little worried that I wouldn't like this book because I am not really into SuperHeros. But I loved this book!! Angel Payne really knows how to write a book!! Reese(BOLT) and Emma are great together. I loved how Bolt was trying to rid the town of lowlife scum!! Emma works for Reese in a swanky Hotel and they end up falling in love!! I can't wait to read the next installment of this series!!

Bolt by Angel Payne is the story of Reece and Emma.
Emma works at the Hotel that Reece co-owns and runs it. When the meet it’s electric. But he’s her boss and she is trying to stay focused on her job. Reece has more going on then boss and playboy.
But can these two work through their Obstacles to be together?
There story doesn’t stop with this book there is more to come. Overall I enjoyed reading this sci-fi type romance. I hope to read more books by this author soon.

I am a huge fan of Angel Payne's. I did come late to the party and did not get the opportunity to meet Reece & Emma in their first incarnation in Misadventures of a Super Hero.
I'm sad that I didn't get to know them sooner. This story was hot and I couldn't put it down.
Nothing like a great Angel Payne story to keep me from sleeping and living on coffee to get through my real life!
Thank you for building a world I can hide in and relax Angel!

This book/series is the hottest, steamiest book ever! Can't stop reading it! Please bring on the next part and please don't ever let this end!
June 12, 2018
This saga originally started out as Misadventures with a Super Hero, and was absolutely amazing! I am so excited Angel Payne decided to expand from that and turn it into a whole saga! Part 1 is a quick, fun, sexy read that does not end on a cliff hanger. Reece and Emma have instant chemistry that is so well written you can feel their chemistry bolt off the pages and leave you wanting more!
June 12, 2018
This is the first time that I have read this genre of book and I absolutely loved it. Angel Payne wrote an absolutely intriguing book that grabs your attention right from the start. I could not put it down. I am glad that this is a series after reading Misadventures of a Superhero. Definitely a must read if you haven't read anything by Angel Payne.
