I don’t know how I missed it but when I signed up for KE Osborn’s Defiance, I didn’t realize that it was #7 in a series. The blurb looked good and I was in the mood for a new MC book. Luckily for me, even with 6 other books before it, Defiance is perfectly able to be read as a standalone within the series and I didn’t feel as if I was missing anything.
Prez Torque and his wife, Foxy, are at home discussing their future when a hail of bullets rain through the home, striking Foxy and setting off a cavalcade of events that puts Torque and the Defiance MC in turmoil and danger. There are enemies to find, wounds to heal, secrets to uncover and a whole string of life events to live through.
I enjoyed this story with its very real feeling characters and true-life club dangers. KE Osborn is a new to me author and I wasn’t sure what to expect but she treats her story with a good balance of emotions and action. There are no down points in this book, nowhere where you can put it down and come back to it later. The scenes are a happy readable mix of inner monologue, interactions, and action that kept me turning page after page, long after I should have gone to bed. The characters are well-developed and rich despite them having been introduced in other stories/their own books. With Defiance being an MC story there is grit and violence to the action scenes but also a lightness and good vibe to family and spouse’s scenes.
A great MC/romance story that has a whole host of great characters and a gripping plotline guaranteed to keep a reader engaged and loving every page.
As president of the Defiance MC, Torque was always under pressure to keep his MC family safe. They constantly fought the Chicago Mafia still in a long-standing feud begun by the former President, his father. His brothers were his family along with his actual blood relations. It had been a long time since he’d had a family that included a woman of his own. That was about to change.
Heeley didn’t have much private life. Working in her family’s Yogurt store and pre-med school kept her pretty busy. About the only time she had for a man was in her dreams. Until Torque and a couple of his brothers burst in the store hiding from…someone. Tatted, leathered, huge hot guys. Were they real or was she sleeping? It didn’t take long for the two of them to hit it off with her sass and his alpha ways.
The interest was there but she could never go out with a dangerous guy like him. She was going to be a Doctor and had to maintain her reputation. He planned to see if he could change her mind. As the first woman he’d been interested in for more than an hour or so he wasn’t giving up so easily.
The characters are unique and fun sometimes dangerous. The bad guys are prolific and there are plenty of surprises for them all. In his plans or not will Torque have to follow the old saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer?
Torque is just the beginning of the boxed set and the stories. Two more follow in this page-turning boxed set. Don’t miss this. There is lots of MC business and action as well as the couple’s story with plenty of heat.
As the series continues…
His life is good. As president his club is on top, his heart belongs to his woman and all is good—until some low lives try to take it away. They may succeed but he’ll find them and make them pay.
Life is never calm in the MC. He should know that. He will find who did this–his club is with him.
It isn’t easy. The loyalty and trust he thought they had weren’t sure anymore.
There is action, blood, and a call to friends who’re willing to help him make it right again. In the end, will it matter if they succeed in taking his heart?
A touching, violent story that pulls the club together and proves how strong they are.

K.E. Osborn definitely keeps you on the edge of you seat with this book. When everything comes to a head where the club is concerned, it’s time to put up or shut up. Skeletons will come out of the closet and only the strongest will make it out alive. This book was a nailbiter. I can’t wait to read what’s next.
