Omg. It gets better and better. Each book in the series are stand alone, but I do recommend reading from the beginning. Dante and Tori’s book is beautifully written. You feel all the emotions throughout the book. Absolutely fall in love with them as a couple. Fast pace and full of entertainment. On opposite sides of the law they find their happy ever ending.

An amazingly captivating, and entertaining journey to go on with Tori and Dante. This book had a little bit of everything; intrigue, suspense, angst, betrayal, and of course romance. I loved every single second of this book.

Iron Heart was the second book in the Ironwood Lords of Carnage MC series by Daphne Loveling.
Dante D’Agostino was the Enforcer for the Lords of Carnage Ironwood MC. He was gorgeous, rugged and gruff. Not one to be messed with.
Tory Lowe was a reporter for the local Ironwood newspaper. She had aspirations as a journalist that covered all of the difficult stories across the world, but something in her past shattered her dreams. Now she was stuck covering fluffy stories that to her, weren’t newsworthy.
Loveling took us through the initial meeting as well as the subsequent crossing of paths. Although sparks ignited, it was a slow build. It was told from a dual POV, but I got more depth from Tory’s side. There were some key incidents that I really wanted Dante’s view to fill in the gaps, especially with the MC conflict, but I was left with craving more. Otherwise, it was a suspenseful and steamy plot with some serious moments.
In the end, it wasn’t my favorite of Darling’s stories, but it was entertaining none the less, and I can’t wait to see who’s next.
Love those Lords and this was another great story about love and family and what to do to protect both.
Very well written with characters that have a depth to them.
Dante and Tori will pull you in right from the and keep you there with action, betrayal, up and downs and a few twists and turns that will have you wanting more and more from them. Each chapter will have you on the edge of seat.
This book brought tears to my eyes and broke my heart and put it back together again slowly. Amazing read that won’t leave you feeling empty. Can’t wait to read more from her.
I am a huge fan of superbly crafted MC romance and Ms. Loveling and her latest installment to The Lords of Carnage MC is quite the book! Whew. This is an unbelievably crafted publication that is sure to steal your breath with the impeccable storyline inside. Dante, is the Enforcer for The Lords of Carnage MC, as well as the most gorgeous man, on two wheels, that this small towns reporter, Tori, has ever seen. I try very hard never to give away any part of the plot so that I do not ruin it for reader’s, that being said… here it goes.
While conducting an interview, that her boss has sent her on, Tori sees Dante for the first time. She captivated him at first sight, and together, Dante and Tori, go on one hell of a ride, proving that opposites definitely do attract. This release has so much substance and creativity, I liitterally sat devouring it in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. I encourage all MC fans to read this book ASAP, as Ms. Loveling will never let you down and you’ll be a devoted follower, just as I am.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Iron Heart in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion. Truly, should you be a fan of MC romance, then rest assured, this is a must read. I am now impatiently awaiting the next release/installment for this incredible Brotherhood.
Absolutely One Amazing Book.
Daphne Loveling has blessed us with another book from the “Lords of Carnage Ironwood MC” series and I have to say that this author knows how to keep a reader totally invested in the words she puts to paper and I am no exception! The plot was so well written and planned and the characters were written with such great detail and depth that as I turned each and every page I felt like Tori and Dante kept me totally engaged as their story effortlessly unfolded!
Dante and Tori share a slow simmering, intense, powerful, sizzling passion. Their romance is filled with deep emotions, drama, action and suspense. These two share an angst ridden road to a HEA that is complicated by secrets, betrayal and lies. I loved these two and thought that they were blistering hot but also incredible sweet together. I found the story very entertaining. It held my attention and kept me eager to keep reading right until the very end. Wickedly wonderful and delightfully delicious.
This was a good read! This author always gets my attention right from the start, and this one was no different! The writing flowed well, and I loved Dante and Tori together. They had great chemistry, and I thought they complimented each other. Dante is my kind of book hero. An alpha who takes care of those he loves. Even though Tori had her health problems, I felt like she was still a pretty strong heroine. There is some suspense in this, as there usually is in these MC books, but I felt like the romance balanced it out nicely. The only thing that I would have liked would have been more of an epilogue, but I’m hoping I’ll get updates in the next book in the series.

Iron Heart is book two in the Ironwood MC series written by the amazing author Daphne Loveling and an awesome spin-off of Lords of Carnage MC series. This is about of Dante D’Agostino, electrician in the small town of Ironwood plus he’s the sexy Enforcer of the Ironwood Lords of Carnage MC, his brother Dominic ‘Dom’ D’Agostino & Victoria “Tori” Lowe, a smart-mouthed reporter for the little town of Ironwood Post Gazette. This book has everything you want in an MC romance; hot bikers, strong and sassy women, amazing characters, danger, suspense, drama, passion, romance and a happy end. This was a great addition to an already great new series. I loved Tori and Dante, their chemistry and banter are intense!!!! Daphne Loveling does it again, can’t wait to read the stories of other members from the Ironwood MC chapter.

My review-
1) What worked for me:
-I enjoyed the fast paced nature of this book
-the slow burn lustfest was exciting
-the naughty parts were smoking hot
2) What did not work for me:
-I will have to cry into my cereal until the next book arrives
Five massive stars for Iron Heart! Honest to God, if I could give more, I would!! This story swept me away, Tori, despite what she sees as a weakness, is one of the strongest people I know. This woman stole my heart! Dante…….Lord this man! He is the enforcer for Ironwood Lords of Carnage and as such doesn’t want his life to touch that of a ‘civilian’ but when he meets Tori, will that change?
I could not put this down, I was fully invested in their lives and I needed to see how this was going to pan out. Not going to lie, there were tears and my heart was in my mouth on more than one occasion, but what a story!!
I loved the latest from Daphne Loveling and her Lords of Carnage MC world! Tori has lived her life playing it safe and cautious feeling like she is on borrowed time, but all that changes when she has a chance encounter with the enigma that is Dante. Dante is the opposite of everything that is Tori, he’s part of an MC, lives life in the fast lane and the last thing he thinks he wants is a woman at his side. Yet that one meeting changes everything more than they realize. I loved going on the ride that was Tori and Dante’s story.
Dante D’Agostino is the enforcer of the Lords of Carnage Ironwood Ohio and has his own business as a licensed electrician. His younger brother Dominic instantly showed up at his front door and his troubles escalated into a ticking time bomb.
Victoria “Tori” Lowe is a journalist for the Ironwood Post-Gazette as a featured writer. It’s not her idealistic job but due to circumstances beyond her control, she is stagnated with her different goals of reporting news. She moved to Ironwood after inheriting a family member house with electrical problems and is introduced to Dante. The attraction was intense but as they test their boundaries of desire, fate takes an dangerous turn, threatening their chance at a relationship.
A great tale of betrayal, jealousy, devastating twists and turns between the cartels and the MC turf war.
