The shot up his house and hurt his woman now Torque is on the rampage. However nothing is ever simple, not with this MC and definitely not with this author. From the first page to the last we get to see just how much he can handle because before it’s over he may just loose his mind. Nothing is as it seems and the people he needs to worry about most are front and center as his world falls apart. Family will be all that helps him keep it together, it also helps that he has the love of his life to give him strength and direction.
This author takes us on a whirlwind read that will test you and trick you. Leave you in the wind gasping for air and a way to the truth. This time they aren’t only fighting for the love of that special woman it’s all out war and it may be their last. One thing for sure is they wont give up on protecting their family.
Wow ! What a great story we were engrossed in the pages to the very end.This story had so many amazing character who were good and bad but, overall most of them were so easy to love.These character’s were so fun and with this eclectic bunch of characters both male and female they made us laugh out loud more than a few times throughout the story.
This story started out with a bang that was filled with suspense,romance,deceit,love,family,second chances.The story had so much going on but, I feel that the author did a great job wrapping up this series.We loved seeing how all the members have grown over the years and how they now have families of the own now and we loved seeing their interactions with their kids.One of the most adorable things was when the author described a party and Torque’s and Trax’s kids were running around with cuts of the own with the saying “property of ” with their fathers name on them. “My heart just melted right then and there!”
Over the years Defiance has had some good and very bad times but, through it all they had made so many powerful allies and when finally push came to shove those allies were there no matter their past history between each other they had there backs. We loved how they were all there to take on a common enemy.
“It was a sight to see !”
Final thoughts would be!
What a fantastic ending ! We loved seeing Lift get is happily ever after and a women who could not but be more of a complete opposite yet, completely fit him perfectly.We loved that the story was filled with love, laughter,family and a whole lot of hotness and yet, on some level it was an emotional one also.
We loved it !
We get to start out the book with Torque and Foxy. They’re having a fairly interesting conversation. What is going on with Foxy? What does she want and why is she nervous? Who is Zoey? What do we learn? Why is Zoey coming up in conversation? Who do we find out is currently in town? Why. is Torque targeted? What happens? As folks are rushed to the hospital, things get interesting. Who is behind what is going on that causes all the Heyday that happens in this story? This is a heart-stopping, breath-stealing read of fairly epic proportions that had my emotions running amok! My heart broke for Torque and Foxy, then turned to anger, and I wanted to exact revenge myself. Read and see what is going on, why it is happening, and what ultimately happens!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
This is the seventh book in the Chicago Defiance MC Series and I recommend that you read them in order to have more of the club’s story prior to reading this one.
We are Defiance!
Chaos continues for the club but this time it comes with world rocking surprises and knee weakening hits that are closer to home. Defiance MC faces some of their toughest battles to date, but they won’t back down. Together they will show their enemies what the Defiance Family is ALL about.
They question who are truly allies and who are enemies in this awesome continuance of the series. The secrets, lies, betrayal, action and love in this page-turner kept me on the edge of my seat from page one.
Highly recommend!!
Ms. Osborn never fails to deliver an exciting, suspenseful storyline when it comes to the Chicago Defiance series. The entire series is so well written. If flows from book to book and the characters are so well defined that this reader couldn’t help but feel she was right their living the stories right along with the characters. This is especially true with Defiance, book 7 in the series. My emotions were on a razors edge from start to finish. Simply put the book is amazing.
Can you imagine sitting a home with your spouse on the couch and a driveby shooting, not only destroys most of your home, but one of the bullets hit the love of your life!!! Well Torque, the Prez of the Chicago Defiance MC, is living the nightmare. What’s worse is he and the club have No Clue who is responsible. The club is dealing with the Irish already, and now another unknown enemy. His heart wants to stay with his wife but being the Prez he is, Torque grabs the bull by the horns, he and the club set out to find out who had destroyed his life.
A lot of series secrets come to light, bringing danger, heartache and tragedy with them, which in turn makes Defiance a phenomenal read as the reader tags along on this emotional, thrilling journey that just may or may not be the end of Torque’s reign with the Chicago Defiance MC.
I HIGHLY recommend any MC / Suspense readers to grab up the Chicago Defiance series, you won’t regret. And for readers of the series, book 7 – Defiance is a must read. Kudos to the author for a fantastic read. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars. However for me the book/series is worth so much more than just 5 stars, it’s easily one of my favorites for 2028/2019 timeframe.
4.5 stars
Deviance is a fantastic addition to the Chicago Defiance MC series! Deviance is a raw and real look into mental illness, written in the voices of those that suffer inside and those that suffer alongside.
When Mylee “Sparx” left him, Trax was wrecked. A broken man with her, he’s become sometime he doesn’t recognize. Years without her have turned him hard and battle weary. But when she returns with a threat chasing her, there’s no one he’ll fight for more. He loved her then and he loves get still and there’s no one he won’t go to war with to prove it to her.
Walking away from Trax was the hardest thing she ever had to do but she couldn’t saddle him with all her “issues”. Her bipolar disorder takes control of her life sometimes and she wanted so much more for him than that. It’s not until they see each other again that she realizes that they’re better fighting it together than she could ever do on her own.
This book was beautiful and raw and so well written. It gives a really open view of the struggle of being a person with mental illness and the struggle of loving someone who deals with mental illness. We’re each broken in our own ways but finding someone who loves you enough to put your pieces back together again is an amazing gift. Fantastic book!

Torque and Foxy and the rest of the club will have you on the edge of your seat in this action packed, highly emotional, intense read of family who has to come to terms with truth and lies and secrets from the past that mau rip them apart. Amazing read that you wont be able to stop reading. Can’t wait to read more from this author
There are just no adequate words to describe how amazing this book is. I loved the series before this installment but honestly this blew me away. This book tested my emotions. I love these characters and their story gripped me from page one and didn’t let go till the end. An absolute reading treasure. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
5 Defiance Filled Stars!!!
Yayy another book in The Chicago Defiance MC series. I was so excited for this and then so upset thinking it was the last one in the series. I’m glad when KE Osborn announced Defiance will be the second to last.
This book is just as amazing as the previous ones in the series. There’s one thing diff though. We usually have dual POV but this one it’s more then the two. KE has written from multiple POV some from previous and some are new. Which was super cool to hear from previous characters I’ve fallen for and just haven’t heard from yet. ESP the last one whose up next.
Last we saw the MC had made peace with The Andretti’s and The Triad. The Irish are in town but so far they’ve been quiet.
One night Torque and Foxy are at home talking about their future, when out of nowhere their house is under fire. There’s bullies flying everywhere and Foxy is hit in the process. Torque has no choice but to call 9-1-1.
Torque’s past is back to haunt his nightmares all over again for the second time. Torque is turn in two places. Being next to Foxy bed until she’s healed and getting vengeance against those who came after him and his Old Lady.
Luckily Torque has both a blood brothers and an MC of brothers to help him get justice for Foxy.
Torque is blindsided by multiple things. He definitely knows the guys coming after him but shocked by who they’re working with. But, the person who knows the backstory is non other then his mom.
There will be secrets brought out to light and Torque, his siblings and his MC will never be the same. But, in order to make it out alive they must stick together.
This book was amazing!! I’ve missed the insides of these alpha men’s heads. Foxy is the head Old Lady and she’s always given respect and definitely earned it and wow it was shown.
As much as I’m looking forward to the next book I’m sad bc it’s the last one. I’m still hoping KE will change her mind again (a girl can dream lol) and I’m also hoping that she writes the other Chicago Defiance chapter we’ve seen bc these guys seem as amazing as the ones we already know.
Oh boy I screamed into this one because I do love this MC world this author had created and breathed to life. The characters that you become to know more fully is what you look forward to the next one. This one is also different than the others in this series. The author will pull out all the stops and rip us to shreds. We will ache and pull on our hair at times too. Anguish for what is happening but the drama will cause the blood to race too. You get to have a taste of many characters in this along with Torque and Foxy whom you if read the others have become attached too. There is still love weaved in there of family. This is one not to be missed but be ready for the ride.
As chaos, mayhem and panic rain down on the Defiance MC, Torque will be brought to his knees and old nightmares will resurface. As the brothers go on high alert, they will have to decipher who is the enemy knocking at their door. As decade old secrets are revealed you will be on the edge of your seat as what you thought you knew suddenly becomes a lie. Your heart will be in your throat as tough decisions must be made by some and others must finally decide to face their fears head on. This book will take you on a ride at high speed with so many twists and turns, so hang on tight. An emotional story that will have your pulse racing and at times have you in a state of shock. However one thing will not change, they will still have you feeling the passion and the love when you are part of the Defiance MC.
A drive bye ?? A drive bye ?? This is not happening !! How can or who can have the guts .. nerve .. the balls .. to do a drive bye as the President of the Defiance MC Club ?? Why is this happening ?? We have seen chases, gun fights, kidnappings, take downs, friendships formed, loyalty and trusts formed and the biggest item .. LOVE !!
So when this installment starts with a drive bye you better believe you are in store for a WILD RIDE in this installment and it is the BEST RIDE so far !!
I don’t even know where to start or end with this review because so many things have happened in this book that you WILL NOT BELIEVE !! I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I will just say this .. The woman of this MC Club are the badd asses of the group and the Mafia woman too !!
Murder, mayhem,
So much blood. But oh man, what a fantastic intricate story this turned out to be.
A past that came alive. You can’t hide. MC life is not for the fainthearted. When you’re in, it’s mostly for life. This author know exactly how to weave a biker story. I’m definitely looking forward the her next book. If I could, I would give it more than five stars. Thank you for writing this story
What can be better than opening up a new Chicago Defiance MC book? Honestly, this is the best and what an exciting, dramatic beginning, middle and ending too. I simply love the way this author’s mind works and how she slips pieces of the puzzle in to play when you least expect it, brilliant.
Oh boy, my heart went out to Torque, his helplessness, remembering past trauma that haunts him, his confusion and his fear all reach out and squeeze your heart. Seeing how far Trax has come is incredible too. Revisiting so many of the characters and their partners is like taking a walk down memory lane. The newer characters however are not so pleasant and made me want to do something quite aggressive at time I became so angry with their dirty tactics.
The descriptions and expressions used in this book are detailed and you are left in no uncertain terms as to what is happening in each scene. It is so easy to visualise everything like a film playing through your mind, fantastic writing.
Many things happen in this book, it is excitement plus and the action is amazing. The way everything is executed is sensational. The emotions run high and tears well at times and with fear or anger, while at others the humour is great and you find yourself chuckling out loud. New changes ahead are even more exciting though.
This story has everything you want in a good book; a solid story, great characters, action and drama and humour as well. I absolutely loved every minute of this book.
Torque’s home is feeling settled with no problems, but as he starts to relax the world around him goes mad and from a source that he is yet to understand. Can he keep his cool and handle this situation like he always does or is that a step too far? With one person close to home that is in hiding and another person from far whois waiting to strike, can he handle the punches coming from all directions and keep the Chicago Defiance family together. This is a story full of deception, bloodshed, heartache, and lies.
OMG – so many punches and surprises coming at them from all directions. I am so impressed with the strength of mind of Torque and the way he managed to pull through to handle everything that was thrown at him, plus find ways to be on top (even when the situation appeared hopeless). If I didn’t already love him before, I certainly can love him now after all those things happening to him. Well written, easy to feel and understand
MC hearts love fiercely
KE Osborn writes words that hit as forcefully as a heavy strike to the chest. Yep, that cute face hides a heavy writing hand, and having discovered and loved her earlier books when they were first released, I was surprised at how young she was. In the past I’ve avoided the MC genre, but I’m discovering the sheer writing talent of authors like KE are forcing me to dip my toe into this world just because I want to read their books, and I’m loving them.
This might not be a love story, but emotions are high as the loyalty, love and chemistry between the characters are as palpable as any solid object. They live hard and love harder.
As I read through, I didn’t realise the tension I was under until KE exposed the softer side of these guys, the odd romantic moment and unfettered feelings of love and honesty that they displayed towards their deeply loved old ladies. Then, I cried in a massive release of pent up emotion. Holy crap, her writing is strong and emotive.
I haven’t read the rest of the books in this Chicago Defiance MC series, but I’m going to make sure I can fit them in because I loved everything about this book, especially the multiple POV that Ms. Osborn has written. I need more of these guys and their crew, and I’m so looking forward to their next book. Holy crap, 5 Stars for this exciting read!
This is the 7th book in this phenomenal series, and what a thrilling and crazy journey this story is. Torque is at home with Foxy when danger comes calling once again. This is a well written fast paced, flawless story which is raw, gritty, emotional, heartbreaking, gripping, and with lies, twists, betrayal, deception, danger, secrets and family. I was totally enthralled throughout this riveting tale, and highly recommend for all MC lovers.
Wow, what a story. I couldn’t put it down once started, wondering what will happen next.
I loved that it wasn’t really about one couple. We got to see so many POVs even though it all mainly Torque and Foxy.
K.E Osborn did such a great job on this book.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
A War is Coming
Torque is Prez of the Defiance MC in Chicago and he’s finally had another chance at love with Foxy. Everything seems ok that is until he is sitting at home with his wife when a drive by happens and things take a drastic change.
There is peace, well as much peace as there can be, between the Defiance MC, the Triad and the Andretti Mafia. So who would order this hit? Are there others lurking in the shadows who seem to want to hurt the MC from the top down? There are so many secrets within the clubhouse…the family. Is this the trigger? This MC is truly a family and like any family there is always so much going on that you never know where the next minute will take you.
I have found a new author that I will definitively be following because I love her writing style and the way she can take me into the book and hold me until the very last page is turned.
Family bonds run deep in the Chicago Defiance MC. This story starts by grabbing your heart and squeezing it. From that moment on I didn’t know what to expect from this story. I am a huge fan of this MC crew that starts with Torque and Foxy, the president and his wife on down to the Lift, the prospect waiting to get his cut. I love that these stories always provide different viewpoints to help deliver all the amazing emotion that is happening to that character and how it impacts life in the club. This is a hard review to write since I think everyone needs to dive in and experience all the unexpected craziness that unfolds and has your heart in a vice as you experience this journey. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
