Even blood freezes in the Land of the Midnight Sun.Rain:Up north, in what they call The Last Frontier, we play by a different set of rules. Everything is brutal, from the weather down to the criminal underworld.I’m a Royal Bastard through and through. I live by the club’s code. I don’t take shit, I dish out plenty, and I never lay a hand on a woman unless she asks me to. So, I don’t take too … to. So, I don’t take too kindly to these scumbag Russian mobsters playing sex-trafficking roulette on my watch. Not in my backyard.
Then there’s Cassie. She ain’t good for business, but when my Pres says, “Keep an eye on her,” watching her becomes my part-time job, and I can’t say I don’t want to go fulltime with it. Yet, keeping her safe means keeping her close, and the closer we get, the more danger she’s in.
Cassie:
It’s always freezing up here. Maybe I shouldn’t have moved to Alaska, but my drive to help some of the city’s homeless kids was too strong. I never expected things to be this… cold.
These kids aren’t safe, and my new personal bodyguard seems to think I’m in as much danger as they are. Rain. What am I going to do with him? He’s not the relationship type, but he is gentle with me. How can a man so frozen be so warm? And how could I go from being so closeminded about bikers to constantly craving one of my own?
This is motorcycle club romantic suspense full of violence, mayhem, alpha males, feisty women, and the Bratva.

OMG this book was absolutely incredible! To be honest, I feel like a fickle girlfriend right now because this one has become my favorite. The way Rain and Cassie are so perfect for each other. The chemistry between them just makes her acceptance of his lifestyle all the more enticing. Their personalities are so perfectly flawed and authentic it made it so easy to relate not only to them but their story. I felt like I was there rather than just reading a story. Their story has everything; humor, action, suspense, intrigue, hot sex, and romance. You definitely don’t want to miss this one.
A new MC romance from CM Genovese, but different from his RZBT series. This one is part of the Royal Bastards MC series written by several authors. This is the first of the series I have read, so one can obviously jump in and out of the series as they please and not have to read in any specific order. Mr. Genovese’s story follows Cassie as she starts a new life for herself in Alaska, having taken a job there in social work. She and her friend encounter Rain and his brothers at the bar one night and Rain defends Cassie from another guy who won’t take no for an answer. That’s how the romance aspect starts. To see how it all ends, and the twists and turns the story takes to get there, read Frozen Rain.
A MC that is as deadly as the Alaskan weather which they live in. Rain a member of the Royal Bastards suffered a tragic attack at the hands of the Bratva which caused his vocal cords to be turned to shit. Cassie a girl who is looking for a fresh new start at helping others change their life for the better gets caught up in the crossfire of women trafficking and prostitution. A broken soul will ever always find another one or so they say, Rain and Cassie are no different. Two broken unperfect souls coming together to create a good one. Royal Bastards are brutal, full of violence, and a passion like no other to love their women.
HOLY MOLY… Have you ever read a book that just sucked you into it like you were living right along with the characters in the book? Where the characters not only come to life but the scenes seem to play out right before your eyes rather than in your mind as your reading? Well Frozen Rain did that just for me. Kudos Mr. Genovese for an amazing read.
I must confess that I love Mr. Genovese writing styles. I say styles because his books/series vary pending what genre you’re reading. But one thing that always stays the same is his amazing flare for words and his edginess for the dramatic/suspense. Well I guess that was two things, but trust me if you haven’t read his books you really need to give his MC books a ride (they are my favorite genre of his). If you have read the synopsis to the book you know the premise of the story, so I won’t rehash that or give anything away. But I must say the book is well written, full of suspense, action, romance and brotherhood. I started reading in the evening thinking I’d read a bit before bedtime. I got so engrossed in the storyline I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. The next thing I knew it was the wee hours of the morning and I’d finished the book. Yes, I literally couldn’t put it down. Not only is the book simply an outstanding addition to the Royal Bastards Series, the author is going to make this book 1 of a series. OMG best news of the day and this reader can’t wait to return to the frozen tundra of the Royal Bastards Anchorage, Alaska Chapter.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars for Frozen Rain. (This is worth so much more than 5 stars but since 5 is the top, 5 it is).
Holy Batman!
This book was not easy to put down and do adulting!
Such a page turner with high suspense and smoking scenes!
What can I say about Frozen Rain? I’m speechless. This book had everything I could’ve ever asked for in a MC story. It was raw, gritty, violent, and heartwarming in a special way. C.M. Genovese brought to life a biker club that is located in Alaska, which is no easy feat. The creativity in the story’s plot blows my mind from start to finish. The storytelling is amazing. As you turn to each page you learn about so many characters that make up this special brotherhood. For every page you read you get intense excitement and adventure. I will say there is humor in this story too. Genovese has a major talent of knowing where to place it and when a reader needs a chuckle every now and then. They will have plenty of oh crap-o-roo moments that will blow a gasket or two. I promise you, you will want to read it a second time because it was just that good. So if you feel like taking a chance on a book that will give you a wild ride, blood pumping, biting your nails, and have you on the edge of your seat this one’s for you.
So twisted intense emotional broken heart stopping love story of Rain and Cassie
Grabbed my heart
Ready for more
Wow, OMG, and twisted (in the best possible way) are a few of the thoughts that went through my head after reading this. Then there was where in the f*** does Mr. Genovese come up with this sh*t? I started reading this book around 9 pm and finally put it down at 2 am to sleep and picked it back up first thing this morning, finishing it. The RB Anchorage Chapter has some of the twisted, feared members that are not afraid to get a little dirty/bloody, and some of the most loyal and protective alpha men and there is nothing that these men won’t do when one of their’s is threatened. This book has everything you could possibly want from a MC book, action, suspense, blood, death, a few WTF moments, hot sex and even a few laugh out loud moments. I recommend this book, go one click it now and thank me later.
I’ve read several Royal Bastard books and this one takes on a whole new meaning. The Russians are still at it with human trafficking and the going back and forth with Rain in Prison and cassie and her actions, it just didn’t blend well for me.
This book is not for the weak of heart and can cause some triggers. If you can handle blood and human trafficking, then set aside time to read this thru to the end because it’s hard to put down. I LOVED Cassie’s drive, determination and strong will. She didn’t let her past define her and she wasn’t afraid of rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. And she sure wasn’t afraid of the brutal cold that Alaska could dole out. RAIN? I’m sure I’d wet my pants if I saw him on a 6-lane freeway in broad daylight. He’s someone you wouldn’t mess with, nor his “brothers” in the Royal Bastards MC. Sue was a bright light in the story, but she didn’t lend a blind eye either. Just a WOW storyline! I was shivering as I read. Was it from the description of the freezing cold or from the storyline itself? You be the judge!
Can’t wait to dive into Pipe Dreams Royal Basters MC!
Great read!
This is the story of Rain and Cassie and their roller coaster of a relationship which include bikers, Russian traffickers, and adventures in the great white north. Rain is an ex icon that rides with the Anchorage chapter of th RBMC and Cassie is a new Alaskan transplant who works with troubled youth. They meet at a local VFW and while sparks fly pretty quickly, there is trouble on the horizon. Local homeless girls have been disappearing and it seems to be linked to a dangerous Russian in Rain’s past.
Frozen Rain is an insta-lust, stand alone in the RBMC universe, so it can be read alone, but is interrelated with the other books in the series.
This is my first CM Genovese novel, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I really enjoyed the storyline, but I found the character development a little flat. There was a freaking awesome line in the beginning of of the book talking about Cassie, “Geek in the streets, but a freak in the sheets”. I was super excited because (identifying with that phrase, lol), but nothing else came from that, no other indications of her personality. The storyline was great though, and I did enjoy it as a quick and easy read. I will definitely be reading CM Genovese’s next installment in this series!
Rain is looking for revenge and boy does he get it. Strong biker characters and a good storyline. Cassie was perfect for Rain and they flared red hot. My first read by C M and it will not be the last. Good read.
I purchased this book via Amazon and am leaving my review voluntarily. This is part of a series but can be read alone.
Triggers: talk of rape, attempted murder, murder, assault, kidnapping, homeless persons
**spoilers**
Rain, part of the Royal Bastsrds MC. Cassie, came to Alaska to start over as a counselor to help troubled kids.
Both H & h started out likeable enough. There was insta lust, a misunderstanding then sexy time.
By 60%, I felt Cassie earned the TSTL title. She already has been through and survived a rape. She’s been warned about going out to dangerous parts of town alone, and yet she does. She doesn’t even have a gun or knife for protection. She does this more than once. (It’s like watching a scary movie and the girl goes in the dark empty house that clearly was broken into)
Rain was in prison, was attacked and almost killed. He wants revenge on the man who tried to kill him.
Several characters were introduced and could potentially earn stories of their own. There was some action then there is a HEA.
A solid 3 stars. Rain was a sensitive MC guy and the club itself had club girls, tough guys and were involved in sketchy things. Not a hardcore MC (like Tille Cole’s Hangman Series) but not completely an MC light storyline.
* First time reading author
This time we are taken to Alaska, the last frontier. No matter where you are there are bikers, hell, and woman that will fight for your heart. Frozen Rain will make your heart hurt, possibly cry, and then put your heart back together. Cassie and Rain are wonderful characters that need to be read. I am so in love with these chapters and am hoping that these authors keep them going.
Rain and Cassie, Wow! This story is brutal, there is frenzied violence at one point but all in context to the plot and understandable. The biggest thing I took from reading was the chemistry between two broken and damaged people who fall in love deeply and completely, find amazing strength to deal with what life has thrown at them. Cassie is feisty, strong and determined to fight for her life in every possible way and whatever tools she can get her hands on. For Rain and the MC guys the brotherhood is everything and they will go to any lengths to support and protect their own. Suspense and action is plentiful, gripping lots to keep you turning the pages. Warning start reading early in the day, or you won’t be sleeping very early in the night, coz you won’t want to put this down.
This was my first book by this author and I loved it! Intense, suspenseful, action packed, and so very steamy! If those qualities are up your alley, you’ll love this one.
You thought you knew MC romances; this one has a whole new slant. If you thought an Alaskan MC would be different, you’d be right. This is one gritty, sexy and freaking funny story. You’ve got the hero Rain (a brooding, sexy man who whispers instead of talking) and the heroine Cassie (who is an amazingly strong, caring and feisty woman). Their 2nd meeting is golden. Then you have Rain’s brothers Bi-Polar Bear, Frostbite, Pipeline, Beezus and Oosik. I loved this book. If you take a chance, enjoy the ride. I’m only sad that story ended but CM Genovese mentioned there will be a sequel but I’m praying for a whole series.
Rain is going to do his time in prison just like every other time, but a scary Russian named Palach almost kills him by slicing his throat. He lives through it, but barely and now can hardly be heard due to the damage to his vocal cords.
Cassie comes to Anchorage intent on helping the homeless teens that live in the tent cities, but also to escape the violence in her past.
When Cassie and Rain meet they both leave the experience thinking the worst of each other, but when Cassie’s friend sends Rain to check up on her they discover quickly how attracted to each other they are.
A book filled with non-stop action, violence, hot sexy times and the beautiful frozen landscape that can only be found in Alaska. My first book by Mr. Genovese, I am definitely looking forward to his next one!
Fantastic twisted MC story! And the title is absolutely perfect for Rain and Cassie. I loved the connection between them and how open Cassie was to Rain’a life in the club and all of his brothers. Reading the twisted things that Palach was doing made me keep turning the pages just waiting to see how the MC was going to deal with him and the evil he was doing. And I was not disappointed…Revenge was very sweet.
I fell in love with this book in chapter 1 and knew it was going to become one of my favourites by chapter 2! I love CM Genovese’s writing style and this book didn’t disappoint! Fabulous story and fabulous characters.
