In this gritty MC romance, it’s a fight for their city, their club, and above all, their women. Enter the world of Chicago Defiance MC by internationally bestselling author, KE Osborn.more
With a catchy cover page and Amazon description, you dive in! This a perfect book for those who think they want to read motorcycle book genres, but don’t want the dark, blood/guts/gorey scenes that come with some of those themed books. There are still the steamy sex scenes, the action-packed shoot-outs, and hot MC men!
AND it does end with a slight cliff-hanger! There’s the happy ending for the main characters, but you’ll want to read what happens next to the MC Club itself.
This is a great introduction to the Defiance MC and I really like where things are headed!
I thought Torque was a great President and through the book he managed to act with his head and not fly off the handle and rush into things like his brother, Trax, wanted to do. Although things were heating up he knew he had people to protect and therefore had to act carefully as he wasn’t prepared for a war and didn’t have the man power to do it.
Heeley was a great girl who wanted to become a doctor and worked at her family business to earn enough money to pay for school. She really wanted Torque but was unsure of she really wanted to be involved with him due to ethical reasons and she wanted to stay on the right side of the law.
The sexual tension between Heeley and Torque was through the roof and it was worrisome that she could become a target in the war between the Andretti’s and Defiance.
There were a few MC scenes that were extremely intense and you didn’t know who was going to make it out ok. I was freaking and was definitely mad at the Andretti’s for what they were putting them through. I was shocked at a meeting between Enzo and Torque with everything that was revealed. Not expecting that at all!!
The very end was awesome but things with Sensei look like they are just getting started!
*WARNING* for adults due to sexual content and some fun violence.
Torque is the President of the Defiance MC, he has lived through some devastation. Torque thinks of the MC as his family and always puts them before himself. Torque and a few of his brothers needed a place to lay low one evening and they ducked into a Froyo shop, that’s where he saw her.
Heeley does not want to do into the family business. Dairy, I’ve cream, froyo, is NOT what Harley wants for her life. Heeley wants to be a doctor. Heeley goes to school, goes home, goes to work at her parents Froyo store, goes home to study and falls asleep just to wake up and do the same thing again. Heeley has no time for dating, relationships, men, but then he comes into the Froyo store while she’s at work.
MC stories are almost always about brotherhood and looking out for each other, I like that about them. This shows a lot of character development for Heeley. All of these characters are pretty great. There is some good world build for the Defiance dance club, it described quite vividly. I think this is a great start to a new series.
This was an amazing beginning to this new series. Bikers, old ladies, club girls, chaos, the mafia!! You couldn’t have asked for more action, lust, rage, love and sexiness in a book! Love this book so much and I cannot wait to see what KE does next!!!
First I have to say that this is the first book I have read by K.E. Osborn and it will not be the last. I feel like I have been living under a rock as far as her writing is concerned because she is one kick arse writer and she knows how to write some serious kick arse MC stories. You all know I love MC stories. I love the life and the style so when I heard about this series I had to read it because I heard so many great things about it and boy oh boy I was not disappointed!
Torque is the President of The Defiance MC. He loves his club and he loves his brothers but they are in the middle of a war that has been brewing for generations with the Mafia. One day when Torque and his brothers are out they spot trouble and go into a local store where they stay to be unseen. They don’t want the trouble so they stay in the store where they meet the sassy and spunky Heeley.
When Heeley gives the brothers a piece of her mind Torque is intrigued by her. He wants to get to know her better but he knows his world and her world are two different ones. Heeley is in med school working at her families business and Torque is the President of a club. But that doesn’t stop these two from wanting each other. They both know that trouble is there lurking in the background but they can’t help but come back together over and over again.
Torque is determined to keep the Andretti family and troubles away from Heeley at any cost. He and his brothers are willing to do anything for Heeley. She is with Torque and is family now so she is to be protected at any cost. This is a great start off to the series and I can’t wait to read the other books to see where the club ends up and what happens with some of the brothers I have come to love.
Hot, alpha bikers, violence & froyo… not a combination you’d think would go good together but it sizzles when it does!
Torque & Heeley…. two completely opposite people but so hot together! But being a civilian brought into a MC world is not an early transition. Heeley’s not sure if she can continue with Torque and go through med school. It requires a fine balance which is super hard to do when there’s bullets flying and someone unknown presence reeking havoc in the city.
INCREDIBLE BEGINNING!!!
I love a good MC story and K E Osborn doesn’t disappoint. The storyline is incredible. Action packed and full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters are amazing. Torque is one hot, sexy alpha biker. He’s the president of Defiance MC. He meets Heeley when he bursts into her family’s froyo shop in his attempt to escape the Andretti. Heeley is a little spitfire. I absolutely love her character. She’s studying to be a doctor. She rides her own motorcycle and she gives Torque a run for his money. There’s great chemistry between Torque and Heeley. But sometimes it takes more than just great chemistry to make a relationship work. Heeley is torn between his outlaw biker ways and the oath she must take as a doctor. Can Heeley find a way to make things work with Torque? Or is his bike lifestyle just too much for her? There’s danger lurking in Chicago. No one is truly safe. Will the Defiance MC be able to conquer this threat alone or will they need to join forces with the man they hate the most? This is going to be a great series. I’m excited to see what KE Osborn has in store for us next.
This is the first book in a new MC series from this talented author, and what a fantastic introduction it is. Torque is the sexy President of his MC, and Heeley is a feisty med student. These two are absolutely total opposite, yet the chemistry between them is intense, and they are perfect for each other. This is a well written flawless story, which is filled with action, drama, angst, and love. I was totally intrigued and hooked throughout and cannot wait to read the next book in this awesome series, which I highly recommend for all MC lovers.
I cannot say too much because I don’t want to give the storyline away. Heeley and Torque’s story was amazing! I loved every moment of the ride K.E. took us on! The danger and passion will keep you at the edge of your seat. This is a great beginning to a new series. Welcome, Defiance MC

As usual K.E Osborn brings a lil something something to the table and never let’s her readers down. with this brand new MC series to add to her ever growing repertoire.

Just finished reading this book and I fell in love with all the characters. I can’t wait until the next book in the series, also already waiting for the one after that one!! Definitely a recommended read!!
I was so thrilled to read this new MC Romance, and even more thrilled to find out it was the beginning of a new series!! So I started reading with my fingers crossed that it would be a really good one!!
OMG!!! Where do I start? And how do I explain to you why this is an outstanding MC Romance?! And ESPECIALLY how do I do this without gushing out a bunch of oh I love it, I love it, I love it!! Which I do!!
Anyway, let me see…where to start. Well, how about this! There is both the Chicago Defiance MC and The Italian Mafia In this book!! Cool, huh? And let’s say, they are NOT friends. Also, I really like the way K C Osborn handled the MC brotherhood, the clubhouse, the club girls and the whole family atmosphere. She really introduces us to the different members, and we learn a little about each one. And I felt as though I really cared about the Chicago Defiance MC by the end of the book, I look forward to reading more about them.
Torque is the MC President. I love Torque. He is one very sexy, bad boy, biker! He has had a sad past. But he meets Heeley in her parent’s Froyo store, where she is working part time. Torque is attracted to Heeley right away, but it takes some work for him to win Heeley over. Not that she isn’t attracted. She is busy with going to college, working hard to become a doctor. Plus she works part time in her parent’s Froyo store. So she feels she has no time for a relationship. He’s very persistent and very sweet. Of course, we know he wears her down or this wouldn’t be a romance.
There’s lots of action between the Italian Mafia and the Chicago Defiance MC. It gets pretty intense. It’s a real battle.
So this book really has it all, for an MC Romance!! I am SO EXCITED for the next book in the Chicago Defiance MC Series!!!
Let’s start with the cover:
How gorgeous is it?
Then, the blurb…
This story isn’t full of partying and fun – it’s chaos, carnage, deception, and lies.
SOLD IT. I was all up with that.
But then I started reading and… it was not what I was expecting. I struggled a little bit reading it but some of the characters, specially Heeley’s brother and sister, made the book worth finishing.
It was not that I didn’t like the major characters, it was that I didn’t feel their chemistry—it felt forced. Also, Torque was not my kind of biker. He was on the soft side.
The ending was a surprise—a good one. It left me wanting to know what is going to unfold in the next book, so even though this was just ok for me, I think I will be reading book two.
What do you do when a group of bikers chooses to hide in your store? Heeley surprises the men by not being scared of them and defends her turf which has Torque all twisted up. Torque is the president of the Chicago Defiance with huge responsibilities. When he found himself in a no-win situation with their rivals, the Andretti’s, he lands in a frozen yogurt store to hide. What he doesn’t expect is to find a woman full of sass and confidence. Heeley is studying to be a doctor so when Torque pursues her, she has some big decisions to make. How does she become a doctor while being connected to a MC? The interactions between Heeley and Torque are wonderful to experience as Heeley pushes his buttons yet there is a balance between them. Add in the drama and suspense of life in a MC and this was a beautifully balanced romance that kept me interested and wanting more. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Let me tell you .. KE Osborne has roared this Defiance MC right into your heart like Torque road right over Heeley’s heart when he stormed into her store !! When the President of the Defiance MC Club took refuge in a frozen yogurt shop he never ever thought his heart would be on the line along with his life.
Heeley was a medical student studying to be a doctor but when this unexpected man came in to her life out of the blue she couldn’t grasp the fact and the feelings she felt for this man in such a short time and whether or not she could be around this man with giving her word for her hippocratic oath.
Can these two survive what they are feeling and not give up there brotherhood or there dreams .. you also know when you read a KE Osborn book there is LOVE, HEART ACHE AND DRAMA .. and yes .. A CLIFF HANGER !!
Loved it !! Can’t wait for moreee…
KE Osborn sure knows what she want when she writes her books, her writing flows as she brings her characters to life and every sentence that flows brings it together with such emotions you want to laugh, cry and wondering where it will end.
With his club facing danger at every corner he runs into a feisty sassy women who has turned his world upside down.
Will they be together in the end or will their relationship come to end before it even gets started?
OMG Ms. Osborn has done it again. Resistance is wonderfully written with characters you can not only believe in but they will get under your skin and feel like family. As for the storyline, that is where she has blown me away once again. She has a magically way with words that just seem to make the storyline come to life as you read along. I could actually see and feel the action, the turmoil, the characters personal struggles and inner feelings as I turned the pages.
Torque, the president of the Defiance MC, literally runs head on into Heeley’s life and boy to the sparks fly. She is a feisty, sassy, spitfire that doesn’t take to kindly to the bossy, arrogant, biker boy and his friends that have invaded her parents Froyo shop. But those aren’t the only sparks flying and the both feel them. However, Torque and his club have got a turf war building and the last thing he needs is to involve the sexy foxey girl that’s haunting his dreams, no matter how badly he wants her. As for Heeley, she is a pre-med student that has to play by the rules for her career, so she has no room in her life for the sexy biker boy and his “biker way” that plaques her mind, even if she would like to have a little more excitement in her life.
The romance is off the charts, the MC action is exciting and thrilling and Lordy I won’t even start on the shocks and jolts the author has in store for readers (sorry I don’t do spoilers). The is an absolute Phenomenal beginning to a new series and I can not wait for book 2. If you like MC Romance with lots of action, I HIGHLY Recommend grabbing Resistance and roll with the Defiance MC biker brothers. You won’t be sorry you did. I give it 2 Thumbs up with 5 stars in every category possible.
I really love Torque and Heeley ! This was so much different than your typical MC book. It’s a slow build leading up to the next book. This was more light hearted than I thought it would be when reading but I still loved it!
Heeley is an amazing woman and I’m really looking forward to how her roles will change throughout the series. And helloooo Torque! Definitely bad boy biker with a big heart and soft spot.
Now I’m ready for more action and can’t wait for what’s next!!
Absolutely loved reading torque and Heeley’s love story. She is a feisty lady, who wants to become a dr. He is the President of a MC. Total bad boy romance I’m looking forward to more reading on this series As usual KE. Doesn’t disappoint
This one starts out with the two characters-Torque and Heely giving you a laugh or two. Then it also takes you on quite a ride. Then there is a war that is present in this but not the kind you think. Heely was going in a different path but you can not resist the path she goes on with this one. This author knows how to take and turn us inside out. Also this is a fabulous start to this series.
