She should never have stayed.I should never have kept her.Bad guys like me? We crave violence, danger, and someone warm in our beds. Someone like her? She is beautiful and surprisingly strong. But saving her was a mistake for the both of us. It would have been easier if I’d let my MC kill her when they were getting revenge on her uncle. Now it’s too late. I don’t want sympathy or forgiveness. I … uncle.
Now it’s too late.
I don’t want sympathy or forgiveness.
I just want her.

Wow. I’ve never been the biggest fan of MC books. But this one is so well-written and I love Mr. Kane’s work so much that those take precedence over all. Blow Out starts out on an ordinary day, at a seemingly ordinary gas station, where Star is trying to study but her aunt and uncle keep interrupting her with meaningless busy work. Then a man Star dated once shows up, thinking she will go out with him again but Star isn’t interested. Then some members of the Steel Veins motorcycle club show up and all hell breaks loose. I won’t put spoilers in my review so if you wanna find out what happens, pick up a copy of Blow Out today. This is a very marked departure from Mr. Kane’s previous usual fare but just so awesome, as I find all of his work to be. If you’re a fan of MC romances, this one is one to be sure not to miss. You’re in for a wild ride with the Steel Veins.
I am a fan of MC books. I have to say that I loved this one. The first I have read from Jackson I will be reading more. It was intense, interesting, mind blowing, off the charts, had me on the edge of my seat. Star got herself into quite the mess with Remy. But through it all she remains as strong as she can be. Remy is the bad boy that you expect him to be. But I am glad that you get the softer side from him when he is around Star at some point. This was a very good book and Jackson gained a fan.
If you love MC’s check this book out. <3
This was my first time reading Jackson Kane’s writing but it won’t be the last. I just finished this book, and I absolutely loved it! I’m not a big fan of motorcycle club books but I really enjoyed this one. The love affair between Remy and Star had me flipping pages even when I was supposed to be working. If you enjoy MC books, even if you don’t, I suggest you read Mr. Kane’s Blowout. It’s well worth the read!
Star makes the best of a very bad situation and in the process becomes a stronger person, but also finds love. And the sexiness…explosive!
My first book by this author and I will definitely be reading more.
“Cry ‘Havoc!’” Remy’s eyes burned as he made his decision. “And let slip the dogs of war.”
A new author to me. I went in blind as I didn’t know of or hadn’t heard anything about him or this book. It took me a while to get into the story but there were things that I really liked. This wasn’t just another MC book, several points of difference made it unique. Those things are what make Blow Out stand out on a shelf of the same genre books.
I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the analogies and the warfare. The author put a lot of thought into it from the disease ridden mother chapter, to Star’s dream and the inclusion of poetry and mythology were brilliant. The characters were well crafted, depth and connections were revealed as the story unfolded.
Remy watched as his little brother died, the club wanted to revenge his death. Star witnessed her uncle and aunt get murdered, she knew she wouldn’t come out alive. But first the boys would have some fun, they took her back to face the members. They toyed with her innocence, but Remy saw something no one else did. Could he stand back and let them destroy her, because Star didn’t deserve it. His club the Steel Veins had travelled so far from their humble beginnings that they couldn’t find their way back.
A dark story about an mc member named Remy and Star the woman he should let go. Remy will keep what is his no matter the cost. A gripping read that will keep you reading til the end.
I received an arc and am leaving a review.
What a GREAT first read by Jackson Kane! While this book is very much out of my wheel house, I was VERY excited to read it and it did not disappoint. Dark and gritty, “Blow Out” is right up my alley, it turns out. Remy and Star – despite being opposites, their attraction is visceral and intense. I became so engrossed in their story and the hurdles they had to endure. Star’s personal journey and growth was an underlying aspect of this book that I personally found intriguing. Her eventual affect and influence in Remy’s life is fierce and so engaging.
Jackson Kane is, hands down, a visual writer. His elaboration and palpable description really put me right in the thick of it -made me envision every action packed sequence as it unfolded. The situations that these two find themselves seem insurmountable. And it was compelling to read how each one unfolded.
I was completely invested! Who they are and what they seem, really puts you in a struggle to decide how you truly feel about them. But make no mistake, YOU will find yourself rooting for them!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this MC book that I could not put it down. This story is captivating, entertaining, and intriguing! Packed with murder, mystery, suspense, drama, and kidnapping—letting you know what to expect later, but it is sure to be a hot as hell, sexy, edgy, intriguing, unpredictable, and twisted MC romance. This book sometimes had me laughing, sometimes shedding a few tears, and sometimes telling them to stop it! This is the first book in the Steel Veins series. Jackson Kane manages to weave suspense and twisted plots with artfully developed main characters. This is my first time reading books by Jackson Kane, but I assure you, it will not be the last. This story is about Star and Remy Daniels, who is a member of the Steel Veins Motorcycle Club that is handsome, sexy as hell, cold, heartless, a calculating murderer, but overall a good guy who is loyal to his club and to those he loved. Star is a strong female, but she struggles to keep Remy at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble. Their relationship is complicated. There are so many intense elements to this story that you cannot highlight on just one. Wait until you read what happens and why someone was kidnapped—you will be flabbergasted and appalled. This book is well written, and I recommend this book.
A real rough and tumble MC story. Gruesome and explicit. Not for those of us who are slightly faint hearted.
I usually prefer comedic romance over dark and gritty action but this book pulled me in from the beginning. I loved the struggle that the characters went through with themselves and a strong woman is always appreciated! Great book!
Blow Out by Jackson Kane was an awesome read. This is the first book in the Steel Veins series. This book was a re-release of Break Hard and Break Out. The two books have been combined it one and added to to make this amazing story. This book had me laughing, crying, angry, etc. I had all the feels. This book has action, suspense, romance, MC. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. I did not want to put the book down. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.
First thing about me, that most people know I have a hard time finding MC books that I love. Well I finally found a book I truly enjoyed. Blow Out was everything I wanted or needed in a fantastic MC read. The thing I love the most about this book was an unexpected twist in the characters The plot was not about a girl changing a guy and his lifestyle and making him better. Oh no no, it was about a girl finding her way and herself in a violent cruel world and embracing her darkness, and sides she never knew she had. This book had so many great elements, it had the hot bad boy, a strong female lead that was incredible, and plots and twist that was so original, I literally was jumping up and down in my seat, while I was reading. This story was definitely unpredictable, I couldn’t figure out what was coming next and that’s the reason why in the first few chapters, I knew this was one I was going to enjoy. From the very first chapter you will get sucked in. I highly recommend this book for any MC lovers out there, or if you want one of the strongest females I have read in a long time.
This is a phenomenal MC book. Remy and Star are amazing characters that take you on a breathtaking adventure full of suspense, mystery, action, love and loss. This book grabs your interest at the very beginning and holds it until the very end. This is one incredible book you don’t want to miss.
This story is not your cute, sweet and typical romance. An intriguing, dark and captivating story with well developed characters. Remy and Star have a tumultuous and crazy start. A story that grips you and doesn’t let go until the end. Loved it. This was such a detailed and in depth story that really delved deep into the MC saga. Highly recommend!!
This book is a fantastically compelling, suspenseful, dark romance!!
What happens when you are forced to cross ethical lines? What happens when you like it? You find yourself good at being bad. You even find a comfort within the bad. Do you reject it, accept it, or thrive in it?
Star is an average girl, doing average things, living an average life. Until life puts her in an unwanted and ugly situation does she meet Remy. The one she shouldn’t want. He is everything rolled up into one scary, bad dude.
“I knew regardless of what happened, I was never going to survive Remy.”
He had the power to make her feel like nothing and EVERYTHING.
Remy leads a dangerous life. He is not going to be responsible for another person ever again. He’s learned his lesson. But every time Star is thrown in a harrowing situation, Remy finds he can’t sit back. Risking his status in the club, he intervenes as her protector.
But what he really needs to do is protect her from himself. Being with him will be her demise. Remy knows he’s not worthy of her. Despite being her protector he pushes her away. Demands that she go back to her lawful life.
“I snorted at how much I had in common with the bullet as I rolled it through my fingers. Cold, hard, and useless without a gun.”
Remy thinks he saved her from circumstances he created, but to Star, he saved her from herself. A life in which she was already metaphorically dead. Throughout dismal circumstances these two end up fighting against life, for each other.
“You gave me the strength to be the scalpel. To make a change,” he said, pulling away. “As long as I have you, I have reason to fight.”
These two find themselves in one horrific situation after another. It is a gritty story with grizzly details. There were a couple of parts where the descriptive details were gory. However, the story hooked me in and I really liked the book. This is well written with an intriguing plot. The characters were created in such a way that no matter their choices you still liked them and kept routing for them. A great read when you feel like taking a walk on the dark side!
I read and ARC of this story. My honest and fair review is voluntary.
Remy and Star take you on an action packed, emotional, intense read with twist and turns to keeps flipping page after to see if together they can save the club and themselves. Amazing read that had me in tears ,laughing and falling for these two. With all they have endure will they be able to make it thur or will they end up on the wrong end of line. So can’t wait to read the next
I experienced a wide range of emotions as I read this action packed page turner. Frustration, anger, hurt comfort, rage, disillusionment, hope and love! The story is compelling and intense with a side order of raw and gutwrenching and not for the weak of stomach or the faint of heart. This story is written for the true connesouirs of gritty MC characters and the readers who love them. Enjoy- I did! I need a Remy in my life. Kudos sur author- fan freaking tastic job!!!
If any of this is familiar, that is because this used to be two, Break Hard and Break Out, but now it’s bigger and better, I’m not saying it was bad before, it definitely wasn’t but Mr Kane must of decided it needed more, I’m not complaining, more of Remy Daniels is definitely good for me.
It’s still gritty and thrilling and will have you in knots on the edge of your seat until the last page.
Unputdownable,
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
Everything about this book is amazing.
