StrykerA club member’s betrayal killed those that I loved, and revenge is the only justice you serve because that’s all you have left. You keep fighting and keep breathing, even when you’re empty of any soul. I had to fight and kill to earn the President patch of the BERZERKERS MC. We rule our criminal empire of underground fighting. Money and blood are all that’s important to me now. The brazen … The brazen dark-haired spitfire named Izzy made a stupid choice to steal from my club and now I’m obligated to deal out her punishment and decide her fate. But it’s not easy when she ignites this basic primal need to protect her instead.
Izzy
I survive this outlaw MC world of fighting, killing and gambling. It was the hand I was dealt in life. And when you’re desperate to keep the ones you love safe and alive, you will do anything. I come face-to- face with the devil himself – Stryker – the President of the BERZERKERS MC. His hard body is quick and lethal. His dark eyes are empty of any kindness or mercy. But there’s something else I do see in him, and it kindles a strange warmth straight to my shielded and tattered heart.

Enjoyed it.
Great start to the series!! Hands down the most action packed and fast paced MC romance. Izzy is caught stealing from the MC and the Prez, Stryker, makes Izzy, her pregnant sister Marie and the bar owned by their father club property. And Stryker claims the feisty and sassy Izzy for his own. When Stryker finds out how Marie became pregnant it is War!! He vows to protect Izzy and her sister at all costs. What an excellent start to the series, I can’t wait for the next book!!!
I am loving the Berzerkers MC! This new book is fast paced, action packed and full of hot alpha males. Izzy and Stryker develop an intense attraction right from the start and it all blows up in the end! Great book and Great new series for Linny Lawless!!
One of my complaints about the two LL books I’ve read so far is that they are too short. This hooked me from chapter one. Action, spice and an element of IDGAF all the way. If you want to read a book about the “MC” life with no fuzziness and aren’t ready for Undeniable just yet then this is a solid start. I hope we get more from this world. I want the VPs story bad.
As always with Linny, I was hooked from the start. Learning right off the bat what happened in Strykers past was so tragic but beautifully written. I felt as though I could feel Stryker and Rubiks pain, I couldn’t imagine trying to move on from what they were put through.
Loved Izzy, she was such a spitfire and loved her smart mouth. She can certainly take a punch and still give lots of lip! She is so strong with taking care of her sister, Marie and working to support them. Oh Marie, I love her too. She is so sweet and caring. I hate what happened to her but having a sister like Izzy to help take care of her was what I needed.
Then Stryker comes in, well actually I would say the man barreled into their lives. From the moment that he found Marie in the office and Izzy giving lip he did not back down from her. He stayed in her face and then he realized how much he was falling for her; I think it scared Izzy how much she was falling for Stryker too. Loved him for Izzy though, he took such great care of Marie and promised to make sure that no one hurt her or them again. He even got vengeance for what happened to Marie and I think that was a great closure for them all.
I did get up and whoop a little bit when Izzy kicked that one woman’s butt. I figured she was just in denial about Stryker all that time and then to see that other woman up on him, yeah I would have blown a fuse too, but then she mentioned Marie and I was ready for more blood. Stryker kicking her out helped me like him some more lol.
Can’t wait to read the next one!
Stryker is president of the Berzerkers MC. His brother and sisterinlaw were killed by another mc, leaving him as president. Izzy works at the bar and tries to protect her pregnant mentally disabled sister. She makes a mistake by getting caught stealing from the MC’s safe and is claimed by Stryker. Lizzy is used to nothing but abuse from men but Stryker turns out to be different than most. The two have a sizzling chemistry and end up as a couple. This was a sad, but good read.
I was looking to read a hardcore MC romance and I certainly got it with Struck In the Crossfire by Linny Lawless. Stryker is definitely an Alpha and lives in a very dangerous and violent world. At first I didn’t like Izzy mainly because of a scene at the beginning of the book, but I quickly warmed up to her. Mainly because she was very caring and protective of her younger sister. There is a lot of action in this book and I look forward to reading the next installment.
Struck in the Crossfire by Linny Lawless is a Motorcycle Club Romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Rodney Falcon. This is book one in the Berzerkers MC Series.
This is the first book of Linny’s that I have read and definitely won’t be my last. The story does end on a cliffhanger but that was no surprise since its book one in a series. I cannot wait until book two is released so we can get more of Stryker and Izzy’s story.
Rodney did a great job on the narration. He always knows how to bring a story to life.
Great MC Romance! Great Narration StrykerIzzy!
Struck in the Crossfire
Berzerkers MC, Book 1
By: Linny Lawless
Narrated by: Rodney Falcon
This is a great MC romance, it is well written and well told with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. Linny Lawless has a great writing style and ability to fit a lot of story into her novella sized book. Her characters are complex and well developed, as are the dynamics of the MC world she created. Stryker is everything you expect from an MC President, he is badass with an alpha attitude, he has a good heart too, unlike some of the rival MC. Izzy finds herself in a bad way when she tries to steal money from the club, she was only trying to get enough money so she could take her sister Mary and escape the life they are in. Stryker sees something in her, he likes her attitude too. I loved these two together, I also liked how great he was with Mary and how protective he was of them, deeming them club property. It turns out they have more in common than they thought and vengeance is in order. This is a fast paced, action packed story, I like how well plotted it was and how it all played out. There was plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns some thrilling and suspenseful moments as was as heartfelt ones, some hot romance too. Thank you Linny Lawless for this great story, I am looking forward to more from the Berzerkers MC.
I listened to the Audible edition, Rodney Falcon is a talented narrator and voice artist. He brings the characters to life, gives them their voice and personality as well as heart and attitude. He does a great job portraying the characters and projecting their emotions into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
“I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.”
A great start to a new MC series. We get a new gritty MC full of hot alpha males that have no qualms dealing with with their issues with violence. We start this book off with so much action and is does not stop until the very last page.
Stryker is the pres who is very jaded to what love and life should be like. When he first meets Izzy his first instinct is to f#$k her instead of killing her like he should. Izzy is a smart mouthed woman who has had a s%$t hand at life dealt to her. She is barely scrapping by and does what she needs to, to help care for her sister Marie.
I am looking forward to more of the Bezerkers MC and it’s members. Even though these men are a bunch of hardened outlaws you can tell they will do anything for those who steal their hearts.
I love MC Books! This one had my emotions all over the place! It’s an amazing book. Over 18 only. I would read it again.
Awesome beginning of what will most like be an amazing series full of hot alpha MC men of the Berzerkers!!! Libby Lawless gives us heat, passion, anger, and revenge in this new series and Stryker is at the center of it all. He is on a path of revenge to any and all that took away those he loved. When Stryker meets Izzy fireworks and alarm bells go off. He wanted her but shouldn’t. Izzy is one seriously smart and super strong gal. She will do what it takes to care for her sister. Definitely this book has all a MC book should have plus more and I definitely enjoyed it!!!
Struck in the Crossfire was an exhilarating, fast paced, action packed, and steamy journey to go on with Stryker and Izzy. The Berzerkers MC men are gruff, rough, and intense. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Struck In the Crossfire is a gritty but amazing MC read and I love it. It takes place in the 1980s and I love that it’s different than most. Stryker lives half a life after losing two people that were close to him. When he meets Izzy she has a sassy mouth and the attitude to back it up. When the a rival MC comes sniffing around, it’s up to the club to get rid of the problem. I love that I found a new author to get my fix of all things MC. I love this book and I’m excited to read more about this series.
What can I say, Linny Lawless nailed it AGAIN!!
Stryker became the Prez of the Berzerkers MC after an unfortunate situation. When a feisty, beautiful young woman crosses a line she shouldn’t have he decides to not handout the normal punishment.
A dark, intense, different kind of romance with so many emotions, love and dislikes they have for each, as it slowly starts to turn into something more but things happen, plus all kinds of bad stuff happening makes you wonder if they will be able to make it or will the bad things keep them apart. This book will pull you in and break your heart right from the start but slowly put it back together again
Izzy has a lot on her plate when Stryker comes storming into her life. He is part neanderthal; part seductive biker.
The story is full of sexy vibes and hard core situations. I really enjoyed watching the characters figure it out. I’m interested in learning more about the Berzerkers MC, which is a different outlook from her Chaos Kings.
Linny Lawless creates worlds full of mayhem but always seems to tap into the heart of the matter. She is really blossoming as a writer.
So, to summarize:
good writing – check
heartfelt and hot – check
makes you want to read more in the series – check
lots of fun – check, check
Excellent start to a series, its fast paced has plenty of action and just what you want from an mc story, some badass men. I loved Stryker and Izzy and had a soft spot for Marie.
After being caught trying to steal from the MC, Izzy, her pregnant sister Marie and the bar owned by their father becomes club property, and The Prez, Stryker, claims Izzy, she’s fiesty and that’s what he likes about her and as the truth comes out as to how Marie became pregnant war is imminent. This is going to be one of those must read series and I can’t wait to read more.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
Striker and Izzy take you on an dark, intense, different kinds of romance with so many emotions and love and dislike they have for each slowly starts to turn into something more but something happens and all kinds of bad stuff happen will they be able to make it or will the bad things keep them apart. This boom will pull you in and break your heart right from the start but slowly put it back together again with each word you read. I highly recommend this book
Intense broken beautiful emotional love story of Stryker and Izzy.Ready for more
