Wire

Sons of Havoc MC: Texas Chapter #3

by Claire Shaw

I've stared down the barrel of death, and in doing so, I've never been the same. Wire I've been through a lot of shit in my life. It's part of being in the club, really. Only, I was taken a short time ago and during my time with the club's enemy; I was fucked with mentally and physically. The physical stuff didn't bother me, but to this day, the mental stuff weighs heavily on my mind. I didn't let my brothers know about what happened, but how could I? They'd never look at me the same. Time has kept passing by, but time hasn't helped calm the demons in my mind. Eventually, I started acting out in a way that the club didn't like, and now I'm a Nomad. Maybe I should've told them about what happened, but the last thing I wanted was for them to look at me any differently. I'd rather die with my secret then live in a life filled with shame. Tallulah My life has never been exciting, or at least it wasn't until the day I watched a man intentionally ride his motorcycle into a ravine. I could hardly believe what I was seeing, but quickly jumped into action.

Thankfully, he was still okay when I found him. He obviously wasn't from around here and while his injuries were minimal, I made them seem like they were a big deal. He was obviously struggling with something and all I wanted to do was help. He looked like he had a lot on his mind and I know firsthand how dangerous that can be. Through his time on my farm, we develop a friendship that turns into something more. We talk, and we listen to one another. I start caring about Wire and make him see the errors of his ways. I take him back to the place he once called home, but what happens when I realize that home isn't a place for me anymore? It's a person.

Wire is struggling after being rescued from being tortured. Trying to handle his feelings and pain on his own is affecting those around him. When the new Pres gives him an option of seeking help or going nomad, feeling abandoned Wire decides to become a nomad.

Tallulah has not been the more graceful person, so much so everyone calls her Calamity. When she sees a biker go down, she does not hesitate to help. The more time Tallulah and Wire spend together, the closer they get and soon begins to understand his struggle.

This is a power story that grabs your heart. Tallulah gives Wire the strength and support he need to get help, while he provides someone to stand next to her.

Wires captivity was covered in previous books to this series and to be honest I think to get the full effect you should have read them before this book. It will absolutely help you understand peoples motives and actions as well as what happened to Wire.

Fun characters (Tallulah is hilarious and brings out the lighter side of the oh so serous Wire) and an emotional plot, this book is far less action oriented than the previous ones, but does unpack and sort through a hefty amount of emotional baggage really well.

Looking forward to wrench now.

Wire’s Struggles

After being kidnapped and having the unthinkable happen to him he is afraid to let his brothers know what had actual all happened to him. So he struggles in silence until his club gives him an ultimatum that he either gets help or goes nomad. Its during his travels that he meets his saving angel, Tallulah.

This book does have a trigger warning but it does come with a happy ending and the ride along the way was worth picking this book up and reading about a person’s survival and the love of his life.

The story sets off with Wire fighting with his demons after being tortured and how his PSTD is affecting everyone in the club so he ends up going nomad. There is plenty of emotions in this story that made me sad for the relationships that were hurting with him and his family. I love that he met Tallulah who is his healing rock. She is clumsy yet has the sweetest soul when it comes to helping Wire heal from his demons. I enjoyed their story and how protective they both are of each other when it comes to their feelings of what others do to them.

I know this was a short read, but I didn't like the cliffhanger. The way the brothers have treated Wire is a shame. Maybe if they knew what he had to indure it might have been different but telling him to go nomad or get help, that's not helping a brother. Not HEA for this short story.

This one has been my favourite of the series so far. Wire wasn’t just another MC book, it was all about his PTSD from last trauma, his healing, and letting someone in. It definitely pulled at the heartstrings. Wire and Tallulah were a a match made in heaven and needed each other to find their new path in life.

Wire: Sons of Havoc MC #3 by Claire Shaw is a must read, this storyline was full of torment, pain and love as you follow the horrific journey Wire will need to take in order to be whole once again. Wire is suffering from the effects of being captured, tormented and sexually abused is having a hard time dealing with his demons. He is lashing out at his brothers while drinking his pain away, he is full of anger, remorse and shame. Not knowing what to do as he doesn't want to tell his brothers what was done to him, he feels he should just end it all. When his best friend Joker, newly appointed club president who has been at odds with him tells Wire that he and the others have decided he either gets professional help or has to go Nomad as Joker feels Wire is a danger to his family and club has Wire outraged as he lashes out to them telling his best friend and brothers how could they think he would harm the people he loves and calls his family.

Angry and full of hurt that his brothers have gone behind his back, seeing this as a form of betrayal he leaves everything behind deciding to end his life until he gets a call from Conjurer of the Raven Kings MC from Louisiana whose club members have links to dark magic. He tells Wire he knew what he was about to do but tells him to go to the Devils Reapers MC and talk to Tinhead. Arriving at the clubhouse, Wire is able to relax and when Tinhead reaches out to him they talk, as he is telling him what occurred he leaves out the abuse. Tinhead tells him he knows he is suffering from PTSD and maybe he was taking his anger and pain out on his brothers instead of asking for help, he then gives him a card to talk to a therapist. Now back on the road, in the rain he is unable to see an oil slick crashes his bike and is injured until an angel appears offers to help him, but he finds this beauty is as clumsy as they come, when she tells him that her nickname is Calamity due to her clumsiness he is drawn to her.

[Meme · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is part of a series, it would be helpful to read the other books in the series to get a whole more complete picture. Wire is suffering from PTSD and "goes nomad"because his brothers don't really give him a choice. While riding around he meets Tallulah. The two of them have an instalove kind of connection. I liked that the author dealt with PTSD in a real way. The story has no real action or violence. It's mostly just Wire working on his issues resulting from his torture. This book does discuss an event from Wire's past that may be upsetting for some and there is suicidal ideation content, so be warned. I thought for all the MC's talk of being there for each other they didn't really exhibit it toward Wire. There's some humor from Tallulah, mostly coming from her clumsiness. The book refers to other MC clubs and members that I had no understanding of, but felt the author assumed I would know who they were. I felt like the book didn't really give me an ending, I felt incomplete with the way things were left.

Wire has been traumatized and is having a hard time facing it. He is at his wits end and sees no way out but one, to take his own life. Fate comes between him and death, in the form of his sister, who went thur the same trauma.
The club makes Wire go No-Mad, to try and get him to talk about it and face it.
Lu sees Wire from a distance and instantly her heart beat rises and she’s in lust, when Wire sees her and its the same but he is still leary of being with anyone.
Wire has an accident and thats when he starts to really come to terms of his trauma. Lu helps him and he finally opens up to her and talks. They make plans to be together in one way or another.
Wire leaves to go back home , to see if he is even still wanted there, and starts to talk to a professional about what happened.
The club welcomes him back , but he misses Lu and wants her with him, but back at Lu’s farm, she is miserable and he brothers kick her and tell her to go find him and be happy.
They have a great welcome to the family night, but before that the clumsy Lu almost takes out Joker the President.
I know this is short but still gets to the heart of the problem PTSD. Would love for this to get a longer run.

Wire is having hard time since he was rescued, the things that was done to him have scarred him. He is pulling away from his brothers, afraid to tell them what happened, believing they will think him damaged and dirty. When Carrie catches him about to put a bullet in his head, this starts an argument, that Joker assumes he brings danger to his family. The brothers vote for him to receive counseling or go nomad.

Wire feels they have cut him off, abandoning him. He chooses to go nomad. On his journey he meets Tallulah, also known as Calamity due to her being clumsy and things happening when she is around.

Wire feels things for Tallulah, like she is forever for him. He needs to get things right, for her if no one else.

Will Tallulah follow him back home? Wire's story, makes you want to just hug him, he has been thru so much and expectations for men are high. Can he overcome what has been done to him without feeling less than he is?.

Wire is the third book in the Sons Of Havoc MC series by Claire Shaw. This book should not be read alone, reading the entire series is recommended as the characters and previous books are all intertwined and some details may be in the previous books.

Wire was kidnapped and the unthinkable happened to him. He silently suffers from PTSD for everything he's been through because he's ashamed and afraid of what his brothers at the club will think of him. His club thinks that by giving him an ultimatum, choosing to get help or go nomad, they help him the only way they think they can. But it goes wrong, Wire feels that he is being abandoned by his brothers so he decides to go nomad and not say anything.
During his journey he meets his saving angel, Tallulah. Who is the younger sister of 3 farmers and known as the town clumsy. All she wants is to escape that city, until she meets Wire and is surrendered.

It will absolutely help you understand peoples motives and actions as well as what happened to Wire.
Wire is suffering from PTSD and "goes nomad"because his brothers don't really give him a choice. While riding around he meets Tallulah. The two of them have an instalove kind of connection.
This story doesn't have the action of the previous 2 books but is perfect in it's own way, dealing with PTSD and the road to getting better.

Wire had been through h*ll and back, suffering with PTSD, he goes nomad for the clubs sake as much as his own. Meeting Tallulah, Wire finds his calm in the storm, but is it enough? Well written emotionally charged a great addition to the series.

So this little tease of a story leaves us wondering the fate of wire and the club! Wire goes nomad when the club decides they can’t deal with his anger issues after his was kidnapped by Bull. He goes to Texas and wrecks his bike what happens after that we don’t know because the story ends there?.

I found this book to be very emotional. Wire has been through a very traumatic experience and he is suffering immensely as a result. When he meets Tallulah she instantly calms his soul. Even though this was a short read I enjoyed it very much and I hope to read more of this series in the future.

I love beautifully broken Wire. He had me crying like a baby, heck I still am. I am glad he found his match in Lu (Tallulah), she sure is going to give Tank a run for his money. I really loved this very emotional book. Trigger warning!.

My heart 💓

Oh my heart 💓.
Wire was one emotional read. My heart went out to him and all he has been through.
Thankfully there was a light at the end of the tunnel for him in the shape of a beautiful clumsy woman called tullulah aka calamity.
Her kind heart and selfless nature helped bring him back to the man he once was. I loved this book.

[Elizabeth Harris]

For the sheer emotion and exploration of shame and guilt, I wished I could give this more than five stars. Wire's emersed in what Dog and Lukas did to him and can't find his way out. His heart-rending search for peace comes to an end when he meets Tallulah. And she was perfectly sweet for him, she was worth everything he suffered. Love the series so far and on to the next book!

Entertaining story!!

This is the 3rd book in this fascinating series and this is Wire and Tululla's story. This is a well written story which is intriguing, heartwrenching, and with humour, witty banter, family, friendships, and love which all leads to a compelling page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Sweet, heartbreaking ,gorgeous

Wire is sent away when he feels after what was done to him will disgrace his brother's.

They feel his lost himself whilst out there he meets her.

There's chemistry between them but will Lu still want him when she finds out what happened.

The worst pain is in your head

I have to admit I thought the men from Havoc were being rather harsh with Wire, I guessed what was at the root of his pain, but was shocked at the treatment he was getting from his brothers. Fate stepped in and brought him to Tallulah. She helped him to find his way. Loved the story.

Wonderfully written.

I can see how Wire's story could be difficult to write. Wire is a kind soul and a good person. What he went through was horrific. I'm glad he met Tallulah she is sweet and clumsy. I liked reading their story and can't wait to hear more about them. Also, and to see who is worse, Tank or Tallulah.
