I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to review without spoilers so I’m just going to say read this. You will love it!
Burning Saints book 3, the little teaser in Clutch really had me wondering what Ropes had proposed as a legit money maker for turning the Burning Saints into a clean MC. I was pleasantly surprised Ropes plan that had so baffled Minus, the MC president.
I truly think, currently, Ropes has to be my favorite MC member. And not just because he writes romances either. He has a very interesting past that has led him to this point. Devlin is a strong woman to have lived through what she has. The two together make an interesting pair, but the best part was they continually had each other’s back. One would start to fall apart, the other was right there to put the pieces back.
I really loved the “nod” to real life events, and I, for one, have to wonder how much of that was “pulled” from real life. But no matter what, Mr. Davenport is not leading this MC down an easy path and there are plenty of twists and surprises. And because of that, I highly recommended reading this series in order.
“Being with Ropes meant constantly walking an emotional tightrope between feeling completely safe, and utterly terrified.”
Jack Davenport is a new-to-me author who has me kicking my own ass for not finding him sooner. His writing is like crack to this MC Romance Addict. I’ve barely finished Ropes and I’m already jonesing for Sweet Pea. And…the references to the Dogs of Fire MC has me raring to read that series as well.
Ropes’ secret passion shocked the hell out of me, and thrilled me at the same time. No, I’m not gonna tell you, but you are gonna eat that shit up, promise. I enjoyed getting to know him better and learning about his past, what makes him tick, and where his demons originated. I also found the story behind his road name amusing and nothing like I was expecting.
Devlin is the newest waitress at the club’s bar. She noticed Ropes right away, but she is fighting her attraction to him. She has plans for her future and he’s not part of them. But he’s not taking no for an answer, he just keeps coming back, tempting her to give in to the lust she’s feeling.
And let me tell you, when they finally let their lust loose there won’t be a pair of dry panties to be found, for Devlin or the readers. Then there’s the club business. Their new president is taking them in another direction and not everyone is thrilled with his plans. Wait until they learn what Ropes has been up to. Will they accept his choices, or will they laugh him out of the club?
Will Devlin, the fiery redhead, give him a chance to prove he fits perfectly in her plan and her bed? Will he ever confess that she’s his muse and share the fantasies she inspires? Will your Kindle burst into flames before you get to the end of this seriously HOT and SUSPENSEFUL story? There’s only one way to find out. The line forms here…
An enjoyable MC with great characters. Good storyline. I really found Spencer, “Ropes”, interesting!
Interesting story, I loved the twist with this biker not at all what you expect one to be even though I know it happens. Devlin is sassy and independent, not afraid to speak her mind but also strong enough to submit and even say sorry if she’s wrong, extremely protective when needed and doesn’t suffer fools easily. Being a reader and blogger for books this was like reading a true story at times but getting it from an author perspective. While things were a little more tense at times at the club the focus on Ropes other career was a little more lighthearted, even making me chuckle a bit. I don’t feel going straight is going to be easy for this club so with a threat hanging over them I expect a bit more suspense in the next book. Loved it.
This book gives us two stories in one…to understand what I mean you’ll have to read it.
I really really enjoyed this story and love how this author has incorporated other beloved characters from stories I have read.
Minus the Burning Saints is taking the club from 1% to honest and has asked all of the members to come up with ideas to earn the club money. Ropes plan shocked everyone and I freaking LOVED it. Devin has a plan, one that she is working hard for and now GQ worthy biker is going to make her deviate from that plan…or is he?!? You will love the uniqueness of this story and I can’t recommend it enough
It’s not often that you find a book that satisfies all of your wants in one story. I love so many different types of books. This book is a perfect blend of Romantic Comedy and Bad A** MC Romance! Right from the beginning, Ropes and Devlin’s interactions had me laughing.
Ropes is an enigma. He isn’t a typical biker. Don’t get me wrong, he’s plenty hard core. There’s just a whole entire side of himself that he hides from everyone. But he knows what he wants, and what he wants is Devlin. However, Devlin has issues! What she says, and what she means are often not the same. And she says whatever she thinks! But, like with most people, there are reasons for her issues.
This book isn’t just an MC romance. There is so much more to this story than that. I loved the humor, as well as the chemistry between Devlin and Ropes. I loved the loyalty and family the MC presented. This book is just the right mix of hilarity and seriousness to give you a fun read!
Great author interesting way to turn a phrase
I loved this story about Ropes and how he gets his girl, the on going drama of the Saints going straight, the betrayal of a brother and Ropes’ secret day job all add to the enjoyment.
I really enjoyed Ropes and Devlin. Ropes is not your stereotypical MC member, his secret was really great. When I read about Devlin’s past I was surprised at the tie-in to one of Piper Davenport’s books. Devlin has a plan for her future and it does not include falling in love. Ropes wants to know her better and he asked her out repeatedly before she finally said yes. Both of them have had very rough pasts, and Devlin still suffers. There is a big problem with some members of the Burning Saints who disagree with the new vision of the club. Intrigue abounds, and in dealing with his new future outlook Ropes made me nervous for him. A great read, and I wish the next book was here already.
Another amazing book. I laughed because I didn’t expect that to be Ropes job, but it so suited him.
I loved Ropes, he is sweet, protective and loyal. He knows what he wants and goes for it. And he loves his side job.
I loved Devlin, she is sassy, hard working and goal orientated. She knows what she wants to do with her life.
I can’t wait for more. And highly recommend this series.
Let’s start off by saying this is a new author for us and we enjoyed our very first read by them.
Ropes and Devlin couldn’t have been any more different yet perfect for one another.Ropes for the most part is mild mannered unless riled then he is deadly.Devlin on the other hand is funny,feisty,mouthy and a take no sh** kind of girl.This is my kind of girl ! lol
I have to say that I really loved the plot of the story as it was totally unexpected but, fun.One of the things we liked is that Ropes wasn’t your typical biker type or so I thought.Ropes definitely fits into the lifestyle and all that and is rough around the edges but, he was so much more.
We found to be fun,smart,sexy,deadly,protective and a man who knows what he wants a makes no bones about it.I also loved that he had a sensitive side and was open about his insecurities and was open about them with his girl not something bikers usually do.All of these things just made us love him more.”We loved seeing his softer side.”
I loved how he came out to his president about his secret profession it was the funniest and most priceless moments ever. LOL
Devlin we found to be sexy,smart,smart mouthed,had a temper,driven,protective,possessive and just a lot of fun as she had a feisty personality.”We just loved her!”
Overall this story was a lot of fun as it had and unusual plot and storyline had enough drama and a touching romance to keep you turning the pages to the very end.The story was filled with a great cast of characters and the main characters we easy to love.I will also say that the story brought us tons of laughs along with giving us tons of smiles and that is always a plus in my book.
Favorite quotes of ours
Ropes secret thoughts of Devlin
“One thousand pieces. No corners, no edges, give up now.”
This was a really fun read for me.I would recommend it to all.I am looking forward to reading the series and also the latest releases to come.
5 stars from us
Shame on me for not dropping everything and reading this story. I missed out on weeks of happy memories as Ropes worked through his issues, worked to win the girl and protect his club.
I think one of my favorite moments was when Ropes presented his idea of making money to the club (sorry, I am not going to tell you what it is. You need to read this amazing story and devour the awkwardness of his chosen career.) Although his confessions to Devlin are a strong contender.
Devlin is one of my favorite female characters in the series. When she was introduced I guessed at part of her history. It just made sense and it makes her an amazing character. She is working as a waitress at the bar and trying to become established as a tattoo artist. She is also emotionally lost, damaged, and afraid. She wants nothing to do with Roper or any other man….until he weasels his way in and won’t let go.
This story isn’t just a fantastic romance that left a really big smile on my face. It is packed with conflict between members that object to becoming a clean club. Tensions between the Burning Saints and the spiders is growing. Fear, anger and hatred exudes from the pages leading to great anticipation of future stories
My same review for book three as book 1 Minus. Excellent Author Highly recommend
Loved the story
I bought a couple in the series…
Love MC books!!
Love
This is a well written book, with catching dialogue between the main couple. The world building is much more hopeful than usual, as it is underpinned by an aim to go clean of sorts, which is nice to see.
Sliced like butter on a hot summer day! That is how I read the first 3 books in the Burning Saints series. Each one kept getting better! It wasn’t due to knowing the characters beforehand, either. The author doesn’t do pre-recognition of characters from one book to the next. He is so good about quickly and concisely introducing the 2 love interests in the first 2 chapters of the book. By the time we get to the hookup, we can already see where we’re going. Not that he doesn’t make that whole phase amazing to read. In fact, he threw some doozy plot points in, such as psycho pinball nerds; a serious/parody of his own writing; a romance writers convention; alongside biker bad*ssery; and the most delicious doughnuts on Earth! AND, the stunning chemistry between the two lovebirds.
I’m straining at the bit to buy the last two books in the series &/or Piper Davenport’s biker series. It sounds fabulous, too. Both sets have the first book free, so what are you waiting for?
