Enjoy this dark motorcycle club romance from USA Today Bestselling romance author Jessica Ames...

Rage

Getting sent to Manchester feels like a punishment. I’m the new kid in the club and trying to prove to my brothers that I’m worthy of their loyalty comes at a cost. As the war with the Pioneers heats up, lines are crossed to survive. Everything is going to plan until a chance encounter puts her in my path.

Skye

Growing up I knew my father was deadly, but when he drags my childhood friend into his war with a motorcycle club, I know I need to escape before it’s too late for me. A nameless stranger in a bar catches me at a weak moment. He’s gorgeous, and I’m instantly drawn to him, but it’s an encounter with devastating consequences. Two lines on a pregnancy test are bad enough, but then I discover his identity and I realise how much danger I’m truly in.



All books in the Untamed Sons universe can be read as standalones, but are better enjoyed read in order. This is a dark romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. It does have some strong language, graphic violence and content that might be triggering.

WOW!!!

Freaking fantastic!! This book had it all for me with the damaged out of control biker and the daughter of his enemy. They see each other across the bar with neither of them knowing who the other was. There is also another biker out on a killing spree for those who killed his old lady and hadn’t come back to his club since.

Rage and Skye had chemistry but it was her family that put a big divide between them. Skye is faced with the upmost betrayal and is doing everything she can to protect those she loves. I just hope the second part of their story comes soon because I can’t wait to see how their story will unfold. Well done Ms. Ames you have me totally invested in their story

RAGE is the sixth instalment in Jessica Ames’s contemporary, adult MANCHESTER CHAPTER: UNTAMED SONS MC dark, erotic, MC romance. This is part one of nineteen year old, Beau aka Rage, and eighteen year old, Skye Richardson’s story. RAGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary


NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.


Told from dual first person perspectives (Rage and Skye) RAGE follows in the wake of one of their own seeking revenge against the group known as the Pioneers. With a target on their backs, Rage, a member of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons MC is sent on a job where he will meet a young woman, and six weeks later, will come face to face with his future in the guise of a pregnant Skye Richardson but all is not well in the lives of the Untamed Sons MC, and the ongoing war with the Pioneers is about to come home. As their brother continues his rampage and obsession with revenge, the possibility of a dark betrayal is about to threaten Rage and the woman he will call his own. What ensues is the ongoing to search for one of their own, as the club must deal with a perceived betrayal at home, and a murderous rampage from all sides.


The world building follows two intersecting paths. Skye Richardson is a crime lord’s daughter but is not totally unaware of the business of which her father partakes but saying that Skye will discover betrayal comes at a cost, and her live is about to become a lot more complicated. Meanwhile, Rage, whose earlier years have moulded our anti-hero into the killing machine he is today, a killer who has earned his name in the wake of his need to protect the people he loves.


The relationship between Skye and Rage is that of a one-night stand. Rage was on assignment, and Skye was nothing more than a one-night stand. Skye Richardson was on the run from her father, and with her best friend by her side, our heroine would discover the true meaning of betrayal and a knife to the back. The lone $ex scene is fast and furious.


The numerous secondary and supporting characters are familiar, desperate and dynamic including several members from both the Birmingham and Manchester Untamed Sons MC, as well as the introduction of Skye’s father Desmond Richardson, Skye’s best friends Tommy and Scarlett. The requisite evil has many faces.


RAGE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder and retribution, madness and mayhem, acceptance and love. The fast paced , character driven premise is gritty, intense and dramatic; the characters are determined and broken; the romance is non-existent as our couple have only spent a few minutes together. RAGE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned

MMC/FMC- Rage and Skye
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- MC Romance
Sub Genre- Dark Romance
Heat- 🌋🌋🌋🌋 although it only happens once. The C word is used.
Series? Y, and this is the first in a miniseries or duet.
Safety- there’s no cheating because there’s no relationship, and there’s no S. Violence.
Cliffhanger? Y
HEA/HFN? N
Triggers- Lots and lots of Graphic Violence, Language, Explicit Erotic Content, Forced Captivity, Forced Pregnancy.
Tropes- Princess, One Night Stand, Enemies to Lovers, New Adult, Surprise Pregnancy, A Corps of Corpses, Secrets and Lies, Masshole Hero (Amazon has a very liberal view of what’s profanity), Easy Rider.
What I thought- this book is Intense. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It certainly didn’t make me feel nothing, which is why I gave it so many stars, despite the fact that the book has a cliffhanger. I detest cliffhangers. This book was hardcore, but I liked that, though YMMV. I loved how the heroine took her destiny into her own hands by becoming a Badsass. One thing I didn’t like was that the MMC and FMC didn’t meet until way into the book (I think it was about halfway?) and they didn’t meet again until almost the end. So there wasn’t a lot of romance. And just when they started to interact, the book ended in a cliffhanger. (Have I mentioned that I hate cliffhangers with the heat of a hundred suns?). The way I feel about a story broken up into two books is: Don’t unless there’s a very good reason. I think that most stories that are split that way could be edited down into one volume. The exception is when there’s too much going on to edit it down. I’m on the fence about this one; I’m not sure that it couldn’t be shorter. That being said, I’ll have to read the next book to decide how I feel about this. Still, in the end, this book made me feel, and that’s the sign of a well written book.

I really really enjoyed this book (despite it having a cliffhanger which I usually hate!) and had so many feelings throughout

Essentially the main characters are kids, and they act like kids a whole lot of the time, that bit isn’t washed over or ignored. This isn’t a dreamy YA or college romance where the teenagers think and act like they are in their late 20’s

Rage is lost, he struggles to learn from and let go of his temper and even when the other club brothers are obviously trying to guide and help him he can’t see it and has the typical teenage response of stropping off and accusing them of treating him like a kid.

Skye has the perfect life seemingly and has for a long time enjoyed it till she hits her teenage rebellion phase and feels ignored and so goes and throws her toys out the pram.

All of that is mildly frustrating yet necessary to tell the story of these characters, because what happens from there is the making of them. It’s the culmination of the event of their lives that has made them grow up so quickly, and events they will happen to force their hand.

Dark and gritty, this book has some extreme violence to it that may be mildly disturbing but is an integral part of the story

I adored the London Sons, I’m loving the Manchester Sons and I can’t wait for the Birmingham ones either

Love this authors work.

This is the 6th book in the Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC series featuring the engaging fast-paced, dual P.O.V,,action-packed, dark, heartbreaking romance between Rage and Skye. Rage gets sent to Manchester to help them with their war with a rival gang Skye is the rival gang leaders daughter who's seen her best friend turn on her and her childhood friend dragged into the war by her father. Skye knows that she has to get out of there before it's too late she goes out for a night on the town and she meets Rage in a bar. When they see each other from across the bar neither one of them knows who the other is. They just had a lot of chemistry which ended in a one-night stand which had lasting consequences for Skye. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this engaging, fast-paced, dual P.O.V, action-packed, dark,heartbreaking romance which ends on a cliffhanger to see what happens. I'm looking forward to the next book so I can see where we go from here. I would recommend reading this book.

Rage and Skye are not your typical love interests. Truthfully, they met under the guise of a one night stand. Well... kinda. It was more like a wham, bam, thank you mam. It was hot, of course, but the most important part of this story came before and after that moment.

Skye is the only daughter to the head of the Pioneers, a ruthless gang who has no consideration for the rules. Nothing is off limits, including killing pregnant women or kids. She has been sheltered her whole life. When she has had enough and rushes towards freedom, she learns very quickly that who she thought were allies may not be and she suffers at their hands as a consequence for her actions.

Rage has a compulsion for violence. When he gets into too much trouble in London, he is shipped off to Manchester. The Manchester MC wants him for his violence but hopes he can learn to control it. His time with Skye was brief, but what comes next is anything but.

This story was so good. Jessica Ames does it again. I cannot wait to read the next part to see where this story goes.

Oh how I have missed my boys. I love that this series is set in the UK and is 100% accurate with how we say things etc here. I have read so many books with characters that are supposed to be from here but don’t use phrases etc that we do, instead they are usually American. Yes I know it’s ridiculous of me to make a fuss, it’s just annoying after a while.
Anyway now I’ve had a little rant I will tell you that you absolutely have to read this book. If you have read the other books you know what happened to Mara and no I still haven’t dealt with my emotions regarding that. This book deals with the aftermath and brings into play the Pioneers in a way not seen before. I’m still processing and trying to cope with everything but god I’m desperate for the next book.
I need Jessica to never stop writing such amazing books.

Omg, this is brutal at times and heartbreaking at others. It's filled with fear and a need to belong, I think that goes for both characters. Rage has known pain and fear his whole childhood, now he just wants to belong and have somewhere that's home, his name is that for a reason though and so far nobody has helped calm the rage that still flows in his veins. Skye has been raised by servants and her father's minions, she knows little of his violence or way of life apart from more recently, she's been betrayed and hurt by those she trusted and is in fear of her life. Honestly I was scared for her and for him, this kept me gripped and before I knew it I'd finished this part of the story, shocked and gobsmacked at the ending, I sure hope the second part is following pretty fast, i don't think I can hold my breath for weeks 😯😲☹. What a Story!

I love it!

A princess they sees her but prisoner in her home, Skye's one taste of freedom bring more of doom in her life when the ultimate betrayal comes from her close cricle.
Now its only Eage and the MC, who are her father enemies who can protect her.
While Rage, this man have lots to learn. With her abusive past that mold to his road name today, self control he have to master and new suprise of baby coming up along with his enemy blood tainting it.... These two have lots to do to survive. Including to learn if his MC are his brothers to back him up or not.

I love every second of this book except for one. Both of our main characters are 18. Seriously scary with how fu*ck up their situation are.

I...... I........ Holy fuck!! This book! I cant breathe!!
I freaking love this Chapter of the Sons. I love London too, Birmingham but Crank is a grade A arsehole but that's another story! Anywho, Manchester is my home town!
But the Sons are in the middle of a war and things are not looking like they are calming down anytime soon. If you have read the previous books, you will know why. It's not my place to say! I don't do spoilers!
But this book has had me on the edge of my seat! I am actually sat in the hairdressers as I write this review. That's right. I took Rage to the hairdressers! Lmao! And they probably think I am a crazy lady!! Do I care? No! Because that ending?!! WTF?!! Absolute gold!!
Cannot wait for part two of Rage's story becaue this has been EPIC!!! Just waiting for my heart rate to return to normal!

Holy freaking wow. What a rollercoaster. This was amazing and I absolutely cannot wait until the 2nd part. Rage and Skye don't actually meet until well into the book, but all of the stuff leading up to that I saw as necessary. So much betrayal in Skye's world. And is just gets worse for her. What and who she thought she knew she realizes she didn't. And Rage's backstory is one of complete turmoil. It is easy to see where he got all of his rage. And we see that same rage grow in Skye the longer her life is controlled. I loved that she never lost of boldness. She's so strong and I can't wait to see what happens next. I just hope she lays it all out there to the club. Amazing job, Jessica!

Another fab Untamed Son read by Jessica Ames, you'd think by now she would be running out of ideas to make each book different but each and every time she smashes it and gives us something diff and unique for these guys!
This time we have Rage story, hes a bit lost, a bit broken and still needing to find his full place in his MC family, so whe hes moved clubhouses he thinks it cant get any worse....but we all know it can 😉
Skye is also looking to find her place in life, after being born into a family that is full ways that she doesnt agree with shes feeling lost and wanting to become herself...and then it all gets worse for her!
Jam packed with drama, emotions and moments that keep you flipping those pages!
Cant wait for the next installment for this series.

What can i say , but this first book is epic, phew!! The characters are outstanding in their own right. Rage who got his name because of his temper, but what the others in the Untamed Sons dont know is why he got to be like he is. A path that was forged when he was younger and the anger that built up in him due to his circumstances, which no longer exist.
Then there is Skye a beautiful person in a cage for all her life, and her father that she dosnt see very much of who is at war with the untamed Sons.
When these two meet instant attraction and chemistry, but one night will leave them both realing and its Rage who has to see if he will step up to the plate.

I absolutely cant wait till the next book comes along, it really will be a book im looking forward to reading.

Rage is a newer member of the Untamed Sons London chapter and when he crosses the line with his fighting, he is sent to the Manchester Chapter. Due to his upbringing, this triggers his insecurities. Skye is the daughter and princess of the Pioneers gang and the MC's rival. She begins to want to break out of her confines and stretch her wings. When her friend betrays her and the person she believe is her BFF turns against her things get ugly. Both characters are a bit immature and its not my favorite by this author. This book ends on a major cliff hanger and we have to wait for the next book for answers.

Rage has been sent from the London based Untamed Sons to the Manchester chapter to help with some trouble they are having with the Pioneers because he is good at what he does and that is kill. Skye has been controlled all her life by her father who is head of the Pioneers but when his group kills a MC member's pregnant wife the killings start. Once Skye escapes her father's house and ends up having a one night stand with Rage but did not know he was part of the rival MC that her father has been having trouble with and that one night ends with a complication neither one expected. The second book as yet to come out and can not wait to wrap up the story of Rage and Skye.

I have enjoyed all of the Untamed Sons MC stories, and I will tell you, this is just as gripping as any of them. It's dark, tragic and tough to stop reading! The pages turned themselves and I was at the end before I knew it!
Rage has known pain and fear his whole childhood, now he just wants to belong and have somewhere that's home, his name is that for a reason though and so far nobody has helped calm the rage that still flows in his veins.

Beau/Rage has an anger issue, due to the abuse he suffered as child at the hands of his father. He started off with the London Chapter Untamed Sons MC and got sent up to Manchester when Ravage is done giving him chances. It will also give them help the Dudley Pioneers.

Skye is the daughter of the leader of the Dudley Pioneers, she feels stifled. Taking advantage of a lack in guards, she and friend go out for a night out. She and Rage hook up in the bathroom. She realizes later that he is from the MC that is at war with her father's group.

This ends on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait for the next part of the story. I would recommend reading the books in order as there is an overarching story.

This is part 1 of Rage & Skye's story and was a solid 4-star read for me. These 2 hook up for one earth-shattering time, but when it is done, Skye realizes Rage is a member of Untamed Sons MC and bitter enemies with her family's gang, the Pioneers. A scowl from Skye realizes Rage belongs to the Sons, he assumes the scowl is directed at him and reacts in a rage. Her father treats her like an inconvenient possession and keeps her under lock and key, literally. When she discovers she's pregnant by Rage, she runs to him, but she doesn't expect his reaction. Full of action, drama, sizzle, stream, and one big cliffy.

This was Rage and Skye’s story. Getting sent to Manchester feels like a punishment. He’s the new kid in the club and trying to prove himself to his brothers. His worthy of their loyalty comes at a cost. As the war with the Pioneers heats up, lines are crossed to survive. Everything is going to plan until a chance encounter puts her in his path. Growing up skye knew her father was deadly, but when he drags her childhood friend into his war with a motorcycle club, she knows she needs to escape before it’s too late. A nameless stranger in a bar catches her at a weak moment. He’s gorgeous, and she’s instantly drawn to him, but it’s an encounter with devastating consequences. It was an intense read.

Rage is appropriately named, having been sent to the Manchester chapter because he's unable to control his temper in London. He has no idea how much a one-night stand will change his life. Skye is out for a rare night of fun, without her father's knowledge or permission. Pregnant, alone, and in need of protection, she shows up at the MC clubhouse looking for Rage. They have so much chemistry between them, but trust issues abound with the MC because her father is their sworn enemy. Violence and betrayal work alongside the MC brotherhood, making this book difficult to put down. Their story continues in the next book, Skye.

Wow, I loved this novel! I love this series, each novel I worry I won't like the new novel as much as the last. But this novel did not disappoint. It was so good! From the very first chapter I was pulled into this novel and just could not put it down, even if it meant losing sleep to finish it. It was so worth it. I loved Rage and Skye. Their chemistry was so good! This novel kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was coming next. I love when a novel can almost bring me to tears and finally leaves me with a happy ending. This novel checked all of my boxes. I loved it! I can't wait to see what is coming next from this author.

Part one of a duet. Rage earned his name. Once he loses control, the rage burns over everything else. He has a big chip on his shoulder and a hair trigger. Skye is the little bird in the gilded cage. She gets the smallest taste of freedom only to face betrayal's by the people supposedly closest to her. The taste of freedom leads to a smaller cage, an awful gatekeeper, and a nugget growing to remind her of her brief escape. I hope we get more of a story of how the captivity situation happened. I like the guys keep trying to get through to him. And then they give advice when Skye appears.

Unable to control his temper, Ravage sends him to Manchester chapter in the hope that Howler will be able to reign him in. He is sent on a club run and has a one-night stand. He can’t get the girl out of his mind, he would if he knew who her father is.

Skye, controlled by her gangster father discovers that her childhood friends that she trusted are not who she thought they were. With no other option she heads north to Manchester to seek out Rage to share her secret.

What an emotional rollercoaster, with twists and turns, betrayals and danger. I can’t wait to see how this story continues with Skye’s story next.

Rage is a young man (Kid) that lives up to his Road Name. Rage didn't have an easy life growing up but once he found the Untamed Sons MC, he felt like he at least now has family.

Skye Richardson is a girl that has never had freedom. Her dad has kept her very sheltered and she is ready to fly the cooper. Skye decides to go out with her best friend Scarlett for drinks and dancing. This bar is where Rage and Skye meet.

I loved the characters in this story and I am so ready for the next book in this series.

Jessica Ames is a fantastic author and I try to read every book that she writes.

I cant believe that cliffhanger!! I sat there going back and forth between the last page and the “continue reading for a sneak peak” page because I couldn’t believe it ended there. I need more. I can’t wait to see Rage and Skye deal with their pasts and hopefully come together. Some tropes to look forward to in this book: enemies daughter, surprise pregnancy, MC romance with a splash of dark romance. I’m excited to see if Rage finds a way to control his, well rage. Please give me some daft alpha moments with a baby! I’m so ready for book 2!

Rage is the epitome of his road name. He's sent to Manchester to help in their war with another gang, although he sees it as a punishment. Skye is the daughter of the gang's leader and her best friend has been sucked into the life as well. She heads out for a night on the town and has a one night stand with a biker. Color her surprised when she discovers he's her mortal enemy. Part one ends in a cliffhanger, with Skye exchanging one prison for another. Looking forward to part two.

Rage: Book 6 of Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC by Jessica Ames. Rage and Skye’s story is dark, gritty, and full of raw emotion, action, angst, and complexity. They come from the same world but find themselves enemies no the less. Their chemistry and connection is palpable and their drive is intense. Ends on quite the exciting cliff and this reader is very much looking forward to conclusion to their story in Skye.

Love the story between Rage and Skye as one is harden by his life while growing up and the other is treated as a sheltered princess. Both characters try to navigate through their lives as best as they can, with the situations they been handed. When they end up having a one night stand, it’s brings up some revelations later that the mc is wary of on if they can trust the situation or not. The cliffhanger left on an interesting note and made me anticipate for the next story.

Rage was born to brutality, his only emotion (hence the road name) is uncontrollable rage. When he’s sent from London to Manchester, he’s throw headfirst into a bloody street war, where there are zero rules and zero remorse.

Skye born into a world she has no place or value in. A single encounter with Rage is life-changing for them both.

A gritty and gripping read, which ends on a cliffy. Can’t wait for the second part!

✔️ Wrong side of the tracks
✔️ Enemies to lovers
✔️ ONS - resulting in pregnancy
✔️ Suspicion and Betrayal

Rage is sent from.the Untamed Sons MC London chapter to Manchester and his is not only unhappy about it, but also has shown it. His harsh childhood gave rise to his name as his anger is unleashed when annoyed or crossed.
Skye is her father's princess in a rival club. She is unhappy with the issues this poses on and in her life.
A one night stand with Rage has serious consequences on both sides. Drama, MC associated behaviour and dangers, emotional insights..Well written, but ends on a cliffhanger.
