Nickel & Karmen – their story seems like insta-everything, but they’ve actually been getting to know each other peripherally for a year off page before we meet them. I enjoyed their story a lot! Nickel has a bit of a time convincing Karmen he really, really likes her, but he doesn’t give up & he doesn’t let her get too far in her head when she tries to shy away.
All in all, a fun read & am looking forward to continuing w/ the series! : )

Nickel has it bad for Karmen one of the nurses at his grandma’s nursing home. He has tried and tried to get her to chat with him, anything. Finally, he goes for it and asks her to the fireworks show and she actually accepts. Karmen has noticed Nickel from the moment he started coming to the nursing home. She likes him but she can’t handle any sort of emotions so she tries to avoid him. But he is so good looking and sweet to her that she goes out with him. Before she knows it, she is in deep and Nickel is right there with her. Hopefully, he won’t break her heart…
Oh my, I love Nickel and Karmen. This is a sweet and sexy MC story with awesome main characters and secondary characters that you hope and pray will get their own books (don’t worry, they do)! Nickel is so into Karmen and it is absolutely adorable watching the two of them get together and fall in love. There is some danger that just sweetens the deal that is following Karmen and some trouble brewing for the MC. If you are looking for a fun and steamy romance in the MC world, Nickel is it! 5 stars for the talented Winter Travers and Nickel!
way too much crude language.
The only way Karmen coped was to put things in boxes in her mind, the first her anger with her father, all her life it worked. Living with her grandmother made Karmen never rely on anyone and asking for help from no one they always wanted something in return.
Nickel has seen Karmen for a while but finally she talks to him, Karmen has an innocence about her that scares Nickel, but when she willingly touches him it drove him insane.
Nickel doesn’t understand what’s going on with Karmen, she won’t look at him, so he asks her what’s going on in her head and her answer surprises him. When Karmen tells him not to stop, he lets her know if he doesn’t, he’ll make her his, she’s scared but doesn’t tell him to stop.
Karmen tries to put Nickel in a box, but he breaks down all her barriers and she’s worried she won’t be able to put herself back together, but she can’t see how they can work, she’s quiet and reserved and he’s the opposite.
Carmen doesn’t like that Nickel is controlling and doesn’t tell her what’s going on particularly when her life’s a risk and tells her to go to the clubhouse, she’s never trusted anyone easily with everything that’s gone on in her life.
Nickel knows that he wants Karmen and that he can break down her walls and get him to trust him, with Nickel patience showing her that she’s everything he wants, you watch Karmen come out of her shell, leaning to live again. Your given a glimpse of what’s next to come with the Fallen Lords.
Nickel is the first of the Fallen Lords series, where we meet Nickel and Karmen. I loved reading and following their story as Nickel works to show Karmen that sometimes you don’t have to over think things, just feel.
Yes!!! Great start to a series that is going to rock our world. Nickel is the bad ass sergeant of arms in his MC Fallen Lords. Karmen is a RN at the nursing home that Nickel’s grandma is in. He has wanted the cute little nurse for a year now. One day she finally gives in and agrees to go out with Nickel. Karmen wasn’t really raised with love so she finds it extremely hard to trust anything. She’s super quiet and keeps to her self and prefers it that way. . Nickel is perfect for her, he helps pull her out of her shell. When everything seems good, Karmen’s past comes into her present. Can Nickel and his MC help her put the past to rest?? This book has all the feels that i love, as all of her books do. Oh if I could spend a day in Winter Travers mind!! She is amazing!! I can’t wait for more.
Nickel is the first book in the new series The Fallen Lords MC and it’s so good! I loved how Winter sucked you in with her amazing storyline and wouldn’t let you go! Karmen is having a rough start in life when her dad is thrown in jail and she’s sent to live with her grandmother. By the time she meets Nickel he’s been trying his hardest to get her attention but nothing is working, until a year later and little divine intervention and happens. Then Nickel has his hands full trying to convince Karmen that she needs to go out with him. Let’s just say sparks fly and so do their clothes. Nickel is the ultimate alpha biker badass! He’s sweet, sexy, dangerous and oh so good with not only getting Karmen out of her own head but her pants too!! I can’t wait for the next book, I’m hoping it’s Nikki which is Karmen’s best friend!! Winter did an amazing job as usual for the start of this series!!!
Karmen has led a tough life so she puts everything that hurts her in a box and has walls built up. When the hot biker who visits his grandma at the nursing home she works at keeps pursuing her and won’t take no for an answer she finally gives in for one night and her orderly life gets turned upside down. WOW! I can’t say enough great things about this book. This story was just so engaging and page turning. I loved all the characters. Boink was hilarious and so Pipe was so broody and I can’t wait to read his story. Karmen and Nickel are the perfect balance. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
This was my first Winter Travers book, but it came well recommended and I like reading about MCs, so I figured, hey, why not? It’s not like I have anything to lose by reading it. I’m glad I did, though. I enjoyed the book.
Karmen has been neglected and abandoned by her family all her life. She’s worked really hard to be the person that she is now and she doesn’t want to depend on anyone or let anyone in. She works as a nurse in a nursing home with her bestie, Nikki, and she enjoys her life.
Nickel’s grandmother has been in the nursing home where Karmen works for a year. He goes to visit her every week, not just because he loves his grandmother, but also because he wants to get together with Karmen. Finally, she agrees to go out with him to see a fireworks show, and sparks definitely fly.
When Karmen’s past comes back to haunt her, then Nickel has to do everything he can to protect his woman. The story is pretty well-written, and the characters are likable. The story is a standalone, but there is a larger storyline at play, which is going to be interesting to track through the rest of the series.
Lets start off by saying this is a first time author for us and we really enjoyed our first read by them.
MC romance’s are definitely some of my favorite pass time reads and I am always looking forward to finding new authors .I am glad we came across this author to add to our collection of authors that write them.The author did a great job at starting off this new series with a bang and we loved the story from beginning to end.
I loved the characters Nickel and Karmen from the onset of the story but, my heart was swooning for Nickel what and amazing man he was who was loving ,caring, funny, but and all around sweet protective man who loved his women well.I loved the chemistry that Karmen and Nickel had it was super hot and sweet.They definitely burned up the sheets.Two opposites that attract.One as pure and sunshine and the other rough and tumbled.They made and amazing couple and I loved them together.
I loved how Karmen was willing to take risks and try things out of her comfort zone.Based on her childhood and the neglect she was given as a child one that never experience happiness or one that felt loved, this was a really big risk for her to take.You could not help but feel proud of her for taking those risks.
I loved their first date and what transpired before when she was getting ready for her date with Nickel it had me laughing out loud.This was one of those stories that had you laughing out loud throughout the entire story. It was so entertaining for me and I loved it.
There were so many great parts in this story.For me I loved how she got her name Captain and how she told her bedtime story to Nickel and that he needed to hear and didn’t want to miss.One was funny and the other endearing.Two of my favorite parts in this story.
This MC romance concentrated mostly on Nickel and Karmen and finding their path to one another but, the club itself had major drama going on and none of it good.The club is divided and tempers are high and these are dangerous times for those involved.Then Karmen comes along with her own drama and things heat up yet again as someone wants her to pay for her fathers sins and wants her dead.
This story was so engrossing and once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.Loved it from cover to cover and we loved all the other characters as well.I love when you can connect with the characters that you read about and I was able to do that with these main characters.I loved both of them from the onset and I loved when that happens because I know that I am going to love the story and it has me rooting for them from the onset hoping they will be able to get that slice of happiness they both deserved.
I am so looking forward to the next in this series and the authors other works.A recommended read to all.
5 stars from us
As a huge lover of MC romances Nickel ticked all the boxes for me. Nickel is the hot alpha biker who has been chasing Karmen, the quiet, reserved and shy nurse from the nursing home his grandmother is at for the past year. Once Karmen takes the biggest leap of her life and gives this outlaw a chance her life takes a whole different turn. This first book in this series will have you falling in love with not only Karmen and Nickel but all the men of the Fallen Lords MC. Their story has just the right amount of grit and suspense, some seriously hilarious moments that may or may not contain a pirate and let’s not forget some seriously hot scenes with a very bossy biker. If you like your bikers sexy, bossy, protective and so loving when it comes to their women then Nickel should be on your must read list. I received and advanced readers copy of this and have volunteered to leave an honest review. Bring on the next book in this series as I am totally hooked.
