Throttle: A Friends-to-Lovers Romance

Rate this book
They fell together…

Tequila
The heart wants what the heart wants and for mine?
I have already given it to the man with tattoos, dark hair, and a motorcycle.
Out of my reach.
Lean, yet strong. Kind, yet destructive.
But when will he see, it was always him?

Throttle
My heart? What about my heart? I don’t commit to women.
And she’d be smart to stay away—intelligent, beautiful, and driven.
She needs to be cherished and not by me. A world of crime will always taint me.
But don’t worry my rose, I’ll always look out for you.
But will I see, it was always her?

Throttle is book 3 of the Steel Valley Chains MC series with a HEA and interconnecting world. Although it is recommended to read Charger and Angel first, it can be read as a standalone.

Received it as an ARC

Finally!!! I’ve been waiting for Throttle and Tequila’s book and it did not disappoint. This was an easy binge book that makes you laugh, cry, and smile. Their chemistry is so good and so cute! The wait was definitely worth it. Getting to see characters from the first 2 books had me kicking my feet up, I loved seeing the club members. Lastly, CM Danks you are the sweetest and I love that your writing just flows so easily you lose track of time. Can’t wait for the next book.

C.M. Danks has become one of my favorite MC writers and if you would love a lighter version of the "Sons of Anarchy" trope, this series is for you.

This book is the third in the Steel Valley Chains MC and if you just randomly saw this book and decided to check the reviews I highly recommend for you to go check Charger (the first book in the series) and start from there, you will thank me later because this series has no waste!

This third book tells us the story of Throttle and Tequila Rose, those two have history! aka both fancy each other but for reasons that will find out in the book they are besties! And the torture is real, especially seeing Tequila's POV, she is adorable, naïve, sweet and smart, and Throttle is a womanizer but with a golden heart.

They navigate a very interesting and enjoyable roller coaster of feelings, I can guarantee that you feel the feels! Because the author has mastered the gift in writing relatable characters that touch your heart.

I highly recommend this series with the ups and downs of the characters, same as life where we don't always make the best choices but somehow we manage to stay alive!

Throttle Book #3 of the Steel Valley Chains by CM Danks is another 5 star read in the Friends- to- Lovers genre!!
The struggle of Tequila and Throttle to finally realize it was always him and it was always her is real!!!

Throttle and Tequila go through such a rollercoaster of emotions and takes the reader along for the ride!!

Tequila feels so strongly about Throttle and she patiently waits for him to catch up!!!! They have such a history together that lays the foundation for an amazing love story!!!!

Definitely start with Book #1 Charger, Book #2 Angel and now Book #3 Throttle!!! Can't get enough of the Steel Valley Chains MC!!!!!

Great job C.M. Danks!!!!

**check your trigger warnings first!

I loved being back in the Steel Valley Chains MC world! While I wanted to put both Throttle and Tequila in timeout repeatedly I still loved their story. The angst and the want was present throughout the entire book. You do not need to read Charger or Angel first but I do recommend both books not just to introduce the characters but because I adore them as well.

C.M Danks has done it again! A fantastic friends to lovers MC book. Tequila and Throttle have such a strong friendship, that you can’t help but cheer them on. Mistakes are made which only leads to a stronger bond between them. I loved seeing the glimpses of the other characters in this book, and would highly recommend checking books 1 & 2 out in this series to truly appreciate some of the other characters. I cannot wait for the next book, no spoilers on whose book is next🤭

C.M. Danks does it again!!! This book was an amazing journey of the lives of the two main characters Tequila(Hazel) and Throttle(Levi). The sexual tension C.M. Danks gives these two, is off the charts and has you grinding your teeth with every page. You're stuck craving for them just as much as they crave for each other teasing you every step of the way. But I don't mind lol I like a good tease 😜 haha.

The story had incredible twists and turns and jaw dropping moments. Not only do you fall in love with the main characters but you grow so incredibly fond of the secondary characters as well. C.M Danks storytelling is next level writing with her character development. I won't say much because I don't want to drop too many spoilers so you can enjoy this amazing journey you embark on every time you read a C.M Danks Book, but I will say my dear Brass now holds such a special place in my heart.

This book had me biting my nails, sobbing in the bath (that's where I do some of my best reading lol) and pulling my hair out, which is everything a good author should do, by having you go through the emotional rollercoaster. The ending was just absolutely gut wrenching and breath taking all at once.

I cannot wait to read about Hush who I've been fangirling over since book #1 Charger of this series!

My favorite characters of this book were of course tequila and throttle but also Tank and Brass. Read it and you'll see what I am talking about! 😉 My two favorite quotes from the book were "the tranquility of the night envelopes us. It too waiting for a response." "And it's always been you. It's always been us."

Ugh, thank you C.M. Danks for yet another amazing read. Can't wait for more! 🧡

This one oh man. I loved Throttle and Tequila.
I love the writing. We get to catch up with Jules and Angel and see what they are up to.
Tequila has been in love with Throttle since she first saw him. It’s a shame he doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. They have to go through so much for him to realize what he feels for her.
The last few chapters had me tearing up.
These guys are so tough but with their women they are so protective and sweet. I must admit Throttle trying to keep his Tequila Rose safe he takes it to another level. But he all he wants always is to keep her safe. Everything he does is with her safety in mind. And the way she stands up for him when she meets his dad it’s truly admirable. Tequila is so good but when it comes to Throttle she will stand up to for him and defend him whenever she has to.
I loved the epilogue. It’s so sweet and it comes full circle.
It took me some time to finish this one but it was all on me, my busy schedule, life getting in the way and so much more. But I’m glad I finally got the chance to finish it.
I can’t wait for the next book. A must read.

A completely beautiful & soul fulfilling journey and story bringing two best friends together. *squels* it's one of my favourite tropes and Throttle & Tequlia gahhh have all the friggin feels.

A powerful start to another instalment of Steel Valleys Chains MC series and yet again CM Danks knocks it out park with this book. I thought my love for Charger was solid.... oh and them my undivided attention for Venom AND BAM THROTTLE!

The dynamic pull between the characters instantly from the first chapter will pull you deeper into world and their story. The possessiveness, loyality, the passion, the heartache add in steamy scenes are eeekkkk, everyone needs a Throttle!! 😜🥵

The twist and turns in this book were brilliant and I did not see them coming. My heart was in my throat and I honestly needed to see the ending!! This book is one of my favs this year!! ❤️
