Broken doesn’t describe him. His demons now define him. Brody. The name that left my lips so many times. The name that stole my heart. The name that made me into the woman I am today. The name that eventually shattered my world so completely. He built me up, with love and desire – his darkness tore me down. Now he’s gone. Out there – trying to fight a battle that isn’t his to fight. He’ll die. No … – trying to fight a battle that isn’t his to fight.
He’ll die. No truer words have been spoken.
Everyone tells me to walk away, to let go.
I can’t fix him.
I can’t save him.
I can’t keep hanging on.
How can I let go?
My whole world lies within him.
He is the very reason I breathe.
So I’ll fight.
I’ll do whatever I have to do.
I’ll find him.
I’ll bring him home.
Even if it kills me.
**Note – This contains characters from my previous book Step-Lover. For those who have followed that, this is Brody and Melanie’s story. It is still a continue on from the Rumblin’ Knights series and still contains your favorite characters!**

This book starts out in the present and then keeps skipping back to the past to show us what exactly happened to Brody, to make him the man he is today. It also shows us some insight into his relationship with Melanie. Normally I am not a fan of multiple switches between past and present but in this case, it didn’t bother me too much. It actually worked pretty well.
Brody is a pretty messed up and broken soul. The last time he was left broken and hurt, he found Melanie and she managed to heal many of his broken pieces…this time though…he has turned his back on the one person that lights his soul. All in the name of revenge. There were times I felt really sorry for Brody but there were also times I wanted to smash his face in.
Melanie is feeling hopeless without Brody and she is determined to help him. She swore to always be on/by his side and so she will do whatever she has to, to try and save him once again…
I enjoyed this story a bit more than I did the previous book…which was a bit confusing to me. That said… MC Sinners (next gen) and Joker’s Wrath series will always be my favorites by this author I think.
3,5 stars from me
An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review
This is the fourth book in the Rumblin’ Knights series. The first two books are about Knight brothers. Book three and four are about friend’s of the Knights. We did meet Brody in the previous books.
I was waiting for his story I was curious about what was behind him fighting and wanting a death match. Who broke him so much?
Well, we find out in this story.
I won’t say much, because I don’t want to spoil anything for any body else.
There are some surprises, but there are also parts that are very predictable as well. While I did enjoy this book, I’m a little let down with it also. It’s still a good read and I do give it a 3.5
Since having come across this author and delighted in her books I try and make time to read hers if I come across one like I did with this one. Brody and Melanie’s story with it going in deep taking us with it. You are given alot of insight as your emotions go on the train to play us causing us to feel alot. When someone is broken you mourn but in here there is love that just does more. This will be back and forth but done so we get the whole which I like so not left wondering. This will be one that will fill you up to overflowing as it is devoured.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

If you love a book about a man who frustrates the crap out of you then your going to love Brody. You’ll want to hunt him down and hurt him one second and then throw your arms around him and never let go the next. This is the story of a man who has lost a lot and carries around a whole lot of guilt for things he had no control over. He is a man who does whatever it takes to keep the ones he loves protected. Throw and equally stubborn Melanie into the picture and you have a woman who is not willing to let the man she cares for give up on everything. Melanie is one super strong character that I loved so much. She and Brody have quiet the story to tell and one that you should not miss. I devoured this book!! I can’t wait to see what’s to come next in the Rumblin’ Knights Series.
Knights Burden by Bella Jewel is book 4 in the Rumblin’ Knight Series. This is the story of Brody and Melanie. Brody is dealing with his emotions of the death of his friend Michael along with his desire for revenge. Brody leaves his everyone behind but his girlfriend Melanie goes after him, but can she save him this time? Brody has a sad past which just adds to this lost and the feeling of wanting to hurt someone.
Exciting emotional read.
I’ve been waiting on Brody and Melanie’s story I couldn’t wait to find out more about them. What I wasn’t expecting was for the story to be so raw and to shred my emotions. Brody was a broken man slowly put back together by Melanie but when the past comes calling the life they’ve built completely falls apart. Reading about a strong woman always makes me want to give the author a high five. Melanie is no doormat she’s a woman willing to put it all on the line for the man she loves. Brody is the strong silent type, he’s determined loyal and protective. When he puts his life on the line can Melanie save him again.
Loved the story loved the characters and was happy to catch up with the other couples.

At last Brody and Melanie’s story. We have been waiting to find out the background and reason’s behind Brody’s behaviour with great patience and, finally all is revealed! It is a truly intense and dramatic tale indeed! Brody has a whole heap of troubles on his hands, and a beautiful, engaging, loving and loyal girlfriend in Melanie.
This book had me on the edge of my seat, and my heart beating double time. The story gripped my attention from the start and the cast of characters played off against each other so well. A thoroughly good and compelling read!
