Rebel Vipers MC #0.5
A Mountain to Climb
Lana
My life has fallen apart, so I'm trying to find my sister, starting with the last place she said she was. What I find there isn't what I was expecting - the Rebel Vipers MC clubhouse.
The hot as hell man who opens the door is none other than my sister's baby daddy. Oh, and if I forgot to mention, she's not here anymore. What the heck?
It doesn't take long for our attraction to surface, but I'm not so sure that us being together is the right thing. What about my nephew, Connor?
Mountain
I almost slammed the door in her face. She said she was Roxy’s sister and I panicked. But the more I get to know her, I realize she's nothing like her venomous sister. That's when I start falling.
How do I convince this woman that staying in the clubhouse is the right thing for her? For us? I have some walls to knock down, starting with her being afraid that my son will hate her forever. He's ten years old and needs a woman in his life.
All is going well until I almost lose it all. Is this the end for me, or will my blue-eyed beauty keep me grounded?

March 1, 2021Not for me.
DNF.
Hero is a single dad.
Heroine is his ex girlfriend baby mama's sister.
Just no...
The writing was a bit simplistic.
Cliche MC behaviour.
Sorry but not for me.

I purchased this book.
I was looking for an MC series since they are my jam. I was attending a book event in like 3 weeks so I checked out the attending author list and found this author. I loved a good prequel so I can meet the characters but also get a feel for the authors writing. I jumped in and read Mountain and Blue.
I was about 2 chapters in and grabbed the first book. I already knew I would be a happy reader.
Now I know some people don’t care for insta-love but I love them. I look at novellas for insta-love since they are quick in and outs ya know. This story is a lot of time hopping but it is needed to bring you to the beginning of book 1. Ya see Mountain’s son is 2 when this book starts and at the end is running the MC….So yeah we need time hops.
Mountain and Blue…they are a great read. Mountain is not very happy when the sister of his baby momma who ran away comes knocking on the door looking for her sister. The story is fast. They are insta-love and insta-attraction, but I loved it. The first time they met, in my opinion, was hysterical. Awkward but totally funny.
Again, this book is a great glimpse to Mountain and Blue who are the head of the MC until Whiskey takes over in book 1. The book introduces you to the main charter members and their kids who I am guessing will be running the MC when the series begins. I don’t think this book was published first but heck maybe I am wrong. But I loved the story and all that it entailed. It gave me a peek into the series and what I will soon be devouring.

providing an honest review after receiving a complementary copy from the author via BookFunnel.
is everything you expect from an instalove romance story set around a mc club, but nothing other then what you would expect.
was a quick read but much to quick an instalove story for my tastes.
I found the idea of a romance between the the lana and her sisters ex and father of her son a pretty unappealing, at least the sister was dead as weird as that is to say but having to read about the sister turning up seeing her sister with her ex and mothering her son would have been horrid. even without the possibility of the sisters return it is still a bit of a taboo relationship that no character seems to consider or mind. if the have a child it will have a brother/cousin a little too inbred for my tastes.
it was a short book as a introduction to the "world" of the mc and it members but I found it to be very predictable.
it was ok but I would not read it again

Good start to the series. Not a fan of insta love and this one is super fast, but it works for setting things up.
Jethro "Mountain" Hill is out of the Navy and trying to figure out what to do with himself. When his brother suggests he start an MC that is what he does with his brother and three of his closest friends.
A few years down the road he meets Roxy and they have a son, Connor. Roxy isn't cut out for this life so she leaves Mountain and Connor. Roxy's sister shows up years later looking for her and meet Mountain and Connor. Here is the insta love, she and Mountain immeditaely fall for each. Even when she knows what is going on with her sister.
Looking forward to Whiskey's book and seeing where the club is now. Not a fan of capitalizing things that shouldn't be capitalized per CMOS or that don't really belong capitalized, this was a bit distracting to the story but didn't change me wanting to read it

I met this author at Rocking Readers and I had to pick up this book. I’m so glad I did it was a quick read and great intro to the club to see how it got its start.
Mountain A/K/A Jethro is the president of Rebel Vipers CM and a single dad. His son’s mom left when Conner was little.
When Lana came looking for her sister all she found was the president of Rebel Vipers. When she knocked on the door, he tried to slam the door in her face. Lana would have none of that and told Mountain the same.
I loved this inst-love quick read. Blue had just the right amount of sass to keep Mountain on his toes. Not only could she keep him in line but also his son Conner. I liked seeing the connection Conner and Blue have. She was so patient with him when they met and he was up in a tree.
Great start to a series. It pulled me in and I immediately purchased Whiskey. I mean really, I had to find out what Conner grew up to be and how did he get the name Whiskey.

Interesting beginning to this MC series. Jethro/Mountain has return to the states from military duty to discover that his father just past away. 5 yrs later he is left to raise his son alone since the mother (Roxy) decides she never wanted to become a mother and leaves him to raise his son Connor by himself. He and his brother decide to start an MC bikers club since it was something Jethro wanted to start one day. Years pass and Lena goes looking for her sister Roxy after finding a letter that her mom has discarded into the trash. After locating the club and discovering that her sister past away years ago Lena ends up staying with the club because Mountain wants her ton become his Old Lady. This was a wonderful story to read with nice characters to open up this series. Next up Whiskey (Connor's) story.

I don’t care what the other reviews stated... yes this was an insta-love romance between Lana and Mountain but it had so much passion, steam, and an amazing romance. This is the prequel and novella to a new series and I’m excited to see what comes next. I enjoyed this deliciously sensual and sweet story.

No, just no. This story is so flat it a savanna. Three days with someone and he's proposing, nah uh, that's just too quick in anyone's book. There's nothing really going on, there's none of the grit I would hope to find in an MC book, sorry the whole thing just fell flat for me.

I really enjoyed this prequel to Whiskey. Mountain and Blue was love at first sight. Together they will raise Connor, who is his son but by her sister who left Mountain and Connor when he was two. There's plenty of love and new beginnings in this book good and sad ones. HEA.

Now I know where Whiskey aka Connor got his temper and stubbornness from, his pops, Mountain aka Jethro. Lana aka Blue, had 3 days where she went from seeking her sister Roxy to being an Ole Lady and wife to Mountain and mother figure to Connor.

Mountain & Blue
I didn’t start at the beginning of this series, but so much is starting to make sense to me now. This is short and sweet - and a little bit steamy. Instant connection. It’s everything I love.

Instalove to the extreme. There was no depth to the book. I get that it’s a novella but come on. Very unrealistic even for an mc book.

So cute. I love this little novella that shows the start to this wonderful series.
February 27, 2021
This is a prequel to this new series and it is so good. Lana and Mountain have some insanely hot attraction to each other. Their connection to each other was instant, even though Mountain wanted to fight it at first. There is no way of fighting fate, and I think it was fate for these two to meet. I can’t wait to read more in this series. Meet the men in the Rebel Vipers MC and get ready to drool.
