Poppy Torian has been in love with Jerimiah since she moved to Caroline Springs. Only he didn’t know she existed until her dad joined his father’s MC club, the Venoms.Friends. It’s what she’s been resigned to, but Poppy wants more. Biding her time, a few years to be exact, she goes to make her move. But when she overhears Jerimiah saying things that crack her heart, she runs.In an emotional … an emotional state, she makes a grave mistake and heads directly into the path of trouble. Poppy has no choice but to leave town; it’s the only way to protect the people she loves.
Jerimiah “Fang” Liang has dealt with a lot of crap in his life. A corrupt father, an MC he doesn’t want to be a part of—until he changes clubs and hooks up with the Hawks MC—and the loss of a woman he thought could be his forever. Until she left him for four years, without giving a reason why.
But sh*t really does happen for a reason. She’s back in town and is the one woman who currently doesn’t want anything do to with him. But Fang is determined to change her mind, to help her out and win her over… despite the possible fallout.
Please note: This book is for 18yrs and above. It’s book #6 in an MC spin-off series, but can be read as a standalone. It’s more of a light read and based on the hero finding his love interest than club business.

Another fabulous story by Ms. Lila Rose! Had me hooked from page one till the end. Poppy and Fang are simply beautiful together, they have a wonderful friendship and fantastic chemistry. Couldn’t put this book down. I laughed, a few tears fell after reading Poppy’s moms letter, and was overjoyed that these two had each others backs. Plus Julian and his wittiness made a brief appearance, what more could you ask for? Loved it! Can’t wait to see what comes next from Ms. Lila Rose.
I loved reading about the Hawks MC again. I had started to miss them.
I loved being given flashbacks to Fang and Poppy as teenagers. It helped to understand who they are as adults. It also highlighted the special relationship they have with one another.
Personally, I loved the little tease the author has done with Lan and Parker. Knowing this author, it is going to be steamy with a side of humour, and I can’t wait.
This was an awesome book. Poppy left town for a few years after something she heard said and something that happened to her. She has loved Fang for a long time. Fang ddin’t understand why she left him. They were young at the time, he was 18 and full of what that entiailed and she was only 15. When she came back to town to be with her father (part of the Venom’s MC) and her mom who had dementia, trouble from her past came to haunt and threaten her. Fang knew she was keeping something from him but didn’t know what. Switch is his dad and part of the Venom’s and Fang left to join the Hawks. This book is heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. One of my favorites in this series.
As a huge fan of the Hawks MC and the Caroline Springs Charter – Fallout was a book that I had definitely been looking forward to. Fang is a character we learned a little about in Living Without but in Fallout we get his whole back story and so much more. Fang and Poppy have a long history one that is surrounded by misunderstandings and secrets but when she walks back into his life, Fang is not letting her go so easily this time. Fallout does not have the normal grit of the MC to it but believe me this book will still keep you captivated until the very end. Fang is a guy that is so full of alpha possessiveness that he will leave you trembling (in a very good way). Poppy has grown in the past four years but deep down she is still that young girl scared to have her heart broken. Their story is about second chances, trust and a love so deep no matter what there is no escaping it.
When a Hawks’ brother makes up his mind and claims a woman, there’s no going back, so try as Poppy might to remain hurt and angry about what went down between her and Jeremiah when he unknowingly broke her heart and put her in the position to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, unequivocally altering what they had hoped was a future together, Poppy can’t resist the pull she still feels to the man who has always owned her body and soul, and now that Jeremiah has his Poppy back in his life, he’s not wasting anymore time, claiming her as his regardless if she likes it or not.
Poppy and Jeremiah share a complicated past, and Lila Rose does a good job
of illustrating the present and Jeremiah’s quest to get the girl that should have been his from the very beginning and transitioning to the key moments in their past that sent them in opposite directions, leaving them with only half of their heart.
I love that Rose brought two motorcycle clubs together since they’re both a part of the hero and heroine’s lives. The Hawks MC and the Venom MC might not be rivals exactly, but there’s still a certain need to retain power and control over their respective territories and their members, so having two clubs in rather close proximity as well old members patching in to the other club can make for some unfriendly encounters. But, because Poppy’s dad, Charlie, is a member of Venom and Jeremiah once was a Venom brother and now wears a Hawks cut and both clubs are trying to be on the straight and narrow for the most part, there isn’t that much bad blood between them, and it’s that camaraderie, in the end, that helps Poppy to fix her troubles and it’s also the people at Poppy and Jeremiah’s back that want these two to have a future together – the one they should have had before mistakes were made and lives were altered.
Jeremiah is an alpha male to the core, which is exactly the kind of man that Poppy needs. He’s always seen her as his future, and even though he fought it and his mouth ruined their first opportunity, this time around, he’s not backing down and he’s not allowing her to freeze him out, which means that the cat and mouse game she’s been playing with him is not going to work, and I loved watching Jeremiah claim Poppy in every possible way…it wasn’t rushed, but he also refused to give her anymore space than what she finagled on her own, so as their story progressed, readers got to see one hot alpha male get his girl.
I’ll admit that Poppy’s rationalizations frustrated me, at times. I get that it’s easy to let one’s heart and emotions dictate actions, and I can also kind of see why she would want to fix her troubles so they don’t cause anyone else any damage. But she has all of these kickass bikers at her back – ones who would gladly lay down their lives for her, and even though that’s exactly what she’s trying to prevent, she definitely couldn’t handle things on her own, so I’m glad she finally sees the light and little by little lets others help her with situations that were never her fault.
I really enjoyed Fallout, which is not surprising because I love everything that Lila Rose writes, especially her bikers, and I am more than intrigued by the trio who are headed our way in her next biker book!
4.5 Poison Apples
Intense, wild, amazing, These are my first thoughts that ran rampant through my head after reading Fallout. I ADORE Lila Rose’s books. Her MC books are always action-packed with a great plot. One that is thrilling yet Fallout ended up being so much more intense and edgy and made my heart thump crazily! I couldn’t catch my breath with this book and that feeling of being on edge felt GOOD. It made me feel alive and the romance made things that much more spectacular. Well done!
For those that love a good MC with a storyline that catches your attention from the get go and keeps you glued to your ereader with the drama, action, suspense, and sizzling romance.
Fallout gets a THRILLING FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

Poppy fell in love with Jerimiah in high school, she was sure that Jerimiah didn’t return the feelings and saw them as best friends, which they are, its just that Poppy wants more. When Poppy hears just what Jerimiah thinks of her, she ends up leaving Caroline Springs, unable to face him again. Years later, Poppy returns to help her father care for her ailing mother, and never thought that she would have to come face to face with the one person she really would rather not see, Jerimiah/Fang. When Jerimiah hears that Poppy has come back, nothing will stop him from making her his, not Poppy herself, nor the problems that come with her. But when the problems take a dangerous turn, will Jerimiah be able to make Poppy his, or will he be too late?
This was sooo good, and everything you want an MC story to be. Drama, danger, violence, sexy times, and a cast of characters that can keep you cracking up. I give this 5 stars.

When Alvin, a prospect that Fang/Jeremiah is sponsoring, spouts some disturbing things to the club about his sister Poppy; the girl that Fang has loved for years, Fang and his brothers race to Poppy’s house to find out the truth. Fang knew she had returned after being gone for 4 years, and the spark between them was still there.
Poppy has loved Fang for years but when he starts insinuating himself into her life again she fights it. She feels he left the “family” when he left her father’s club “Venom MC” to patch in with “Hawks MC”, she still feels hurt from something she heard him say all those years ago and there’s a secret she has been holding onto about what really drove her away from Caroline Springs. Not to mention someone else is falsely claiming she is actually his and will stop at nothing to make it so.
Plenty of drama, some action, secrets revealed and some sweet second chance sexy times and Fallout is another great instalment in the Hawks MC world. A nice little tease at the end also has me eager for Parker, Lan and East’s book. Fallout gets 5 stars from me.
This is book 6 in the Hawks MC: Caroline Springs Charter Series. It focuses on Jerimiah (Fang) and his childhood friend, Poppy. As teens, they both felt more, but it never went any further than friendship. Then they are torn apart by things beyond their control, and kept apart by miscommunication and stubbornness. This book is told in present tense, with flashbacks to the past, which really lends to the story.
Jerimiah loved Poppy as a teen, but knew she was too young. As adults, he doesn’t understand what happened to make Poppy stay away from him. But once he makes up his mind, Poppy doesn’t have a chance of resisting!
I loved this story for so many reasons. Not the least of which is that I love how great these two are together! Despite all of the obstacles in their way, they just make so much sense to me! I’m glad to finally see Jerimiah getting his HEA. As with all of the Hawks guys, he is awesome, and exactly what Poppy needs.
This story is a stand alone, but ties closely with previous books. There are events from previous books that are mentioned and play heavily into the plot of this one. While you shouldn’t have to read previous books to enjoy this one, I would recommend reading the series in order, to get the full effect of the Hawks MC!
