Wow. Biker book cherry has officially been popped. Review to come on release day. Get ready, y'all! This one is winner! :)
If you're looking for book with a heroine that is all sappy and broken and needs a man to fix her, you will not find that in Iron Sinners! Piper is not the girl that sits around and waits for a man to take care of her, no, she takes care of herself. Piper is willing to do pretty much anything it takes to be successful in the business world.
Until one night changes her whole life and the way she sees the world. With uncertainty or life or death hanging over her, Piper finds an odd comfort in a man that she should hate. Maybe she does have a little hatred for him, but Grizz has something about him that makes him easy to like.
Grizz has been faithful to his motorcycle club for a long time. He lives to ride and the club is always first. The iron sinners are his family. After one crazy night, he finds himself faced with a girl that could change his life completely.
I absolutely ADORED this book. I seriously devoured it in one sitting. Holy cow! Soooo great! This was the very first MC book I've ever read and trust me I was not disappointed. I actually loved the fact that neither of the main characters were super lovey dove and strayed from the normal characters I'm used to reading.
I've read every book that HJ Bellus has written and I am never let down! Her books always pull me out of my reading ruts! Even though this is completely different than her My Way series, it is just as amazing.
"I need her and the open road. Without her, the road is just another prison set out to destroy me."~Grizz
I could not put this book down!! It was intense and rough. It grabbed you from the start! Holy Freakin Amazing!! HJ hit it out of the park with this one!
Have you ever been at the wrong place at the wrong time? Well for Piper, that's exactly what happened to her. Only it might just be the right place at the right time. When she was taken into "protection" by the Iron Sinners, Piper didn't know what to think. Was she still in danger? Was she in more danger being with them? How can she get away? One thing was for certain, she has just met the person that would change her life forever...Grizz.
"Grizz, you took everything from me. You hurt me, yet in a very strange way I find myself being thankful you're in my life."
Grizz has lived a very hard life. Being a part of the Iron Sinners has made him rough and raw. No room in his life for real relationships and love is never on the table. Enter a sassy, smart mouthed woman.
"I know you're pissed and hurt, but I'll never let anyone hurt you, Piper. I can't tell you anything else. Just know I'll protect you."
Piper and Grizz fight inside with the feelings they have for each other.
"So, there's the one thing you need to know about me, Piper Jones. I want you more than I've ever wanted anything in my whole entire life."~Grizz "In this moment, I realize that I have never wanted someone more than him. My need and desire for him rivals my need for success."~Piper
In a world of war and chaos all around them, they can only see each other. What do you do when your enemy becomes your whole world? What would you do if you had to choose between the world you've always known and the world of the unknown?
This isn't a romance. This isn't a love story. This is a story of life. A life of a biker.
"How ironic that the one man who holds all the power to destroy me leaves me behind sitting in the middle of chaos."
What. A. Ride!!! I could not put this book down. I devoured it. It's down and dirty biker life to the fullest. My gut hurts. My heart hurts. And like the book says: "Love forever. Love hard. Love till we die. That’s us." Again, What. A. Ride!!!
Talk about being blown away! I wasn't sure what to expect with this book because I knew it wasn't going to be like any of the other HJ Bellus books I have read! Where do I start with my review... WOW, WOW, WOW!! Iron Sinners exceeded my expectations in so many ways.. There is not a lot to laugh about in this book, but if you want a story that is gut wrenching emotionally then this is for you!!! In some parts of Piper & Grizz's story I though how sweet, then within seconds I was cursing him & calling him stupid and thinking she was silly for provoking him.. Then something would happen and I would be terrified for Piper but at the same time in absolute awe of her strength & determination to not be beaten.. I was so thankful that she made a friend in amongst everything going on in Mayley. In the midst of all these conflicting emotions, the one thing that never ever faltered was Piper & Grizz's feelings. It slowly developed into a beautiful love story hidden under the terror & turmoil going on around them. I did ugly cry for what happened to Piper & wanted to jump into the book & save her so badly (yes I know i's not real life!!) and shoot them all myself!! My heart literally broke for her at the end of that scene.. At the end of the day, you have to love Grizz for the choice he made to save her. Hell you have to love him anyway for his absolute devotion to her and his willingness to give up his life to save hers. I read this is 1 day because I literally could not put it down!!!!!!! This was a great big rollercoaster or emotion & scary drama that I was so glad I got to ride, absolutely bloody amazing!! I could go on & on about how fabulous this book is, but I will finish my review by saying if you haven't one clicked yet.. go & do it, you wont be able to help but get swept up in the story of Piper & Grizz!! And you certainly will not be disappointed! Hint, hint, nudge, nudge HJ Bellus, I would love to read Diggers story next!!!! (lol, you know just if you have nothing better to do in the next few months!!)
H.J. Bellus Ok so a review. How do I feel about Iron Sinners? Did I like it? Hmmm……
I LOVED IT! I read the entire book in one sitting and ignored everything around me as I got immersed in the amazing world Author HJ Bellus spun together!
This is not your everyday HEA. Piper is one twisted badass bitch and I wouldn’t have it any other way. A fighter who decides to go toe to toe with Grizz, her biker boy, Piper is not one to give up easily.
Grizz is exactly what you would want in a biker. He is completely alpha with a loyalty that can’t be matched. But with a hidden past that affects his current lifestyle, Piper knocks him sideways when their paths collide.
This was MC the HJ Bellus way. Grizz and Piper are the couple that at times I just loved to hate, but knew that in the end I would love the ride. With a knack for blindsiding I was often surprised with the directions HJ Bellus ran the story. It was like going 90 MPH down a straight away then BAM! pulling a u-turn on a narrow mountain road. Both scary and exhilarating!
In the end this was Piper and Grizz’s story, the rest of the world be damned! They did love their way with no shame or care to what others thought and that I think was the best part. To love without reserve no matter how twisted or messed up it may seem is a powerful thing. That is what Iron Sinners was, a powerful story.
Let me first say I love this author! Love all her books!!
This book captured my attention right from the beginning, It was a book I'd been waiting for to be released and it did not disappoint!
Grizz... Loved him he's raw, gritty! Hot, sexy what more can we ask for???
Piper... She's strong and very capable of doing anything she wants. I loved her character, she knew what she wanted and she didn't care how she got there or what she had to do!
Piper is definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time! Damn her bad luck!! But she meets Grizz so I'd be rather pleased about that!
Grizz fight's on a daily basis to stay away from Piper, as it brings up memories from his past, which NO I'm not sharing! You have to read the book!
Piper can't fathom Grizz out he's hot he's cold... What's a girl to do?? Slowly but surely she falls in love.
But with bad men after Piper beacause of the wrong place wrong time.... Grizz has swore to protect her at all costs?? Can he protect her or will his own demons get the better of him??
The ending was a shocker I was like "wait, what??" Noooo!
Then it all made sense ;)
The characters are brought to life, with scenes and life changing situations... Fantastically written!
I started reading this yesterday just before I had to leave on errands, I almost wish I had waited because I *hated* having to set it down for even a SECOND but reading and driving are NOT good combo’s!
From the prologue to the epilogue, Iron Sinners drags you along on an emotional rollercoaster that’s never ending goodness – yes, even the bad times in the book were good! I laughed and cried, I giggled at the antics and I even raged at the “stupidity” of some of the characters!
I highly recommend this to anyone that loves to become emotionally involved with the characters, just make sure to have a box of tissues handy and no drink on hand because you might start choking on your drink while reading! ;)
Whether this is your first MC or your hundredth, this one is definitely a winner. A 5+ star. It grabs you from the first page and holds on till the end. Get ready for a great ride. If you like SOA, you will love Iron Sinners. Hot. Sexy. Rough. Tough. That is Grizz. Sexy. Prissy. Sassy. That is Piper. When two different worlds collide it is total hotness. You will love them, you will hate them, and just maybe you will feel a little of both. Can't wait for HJ Bellus to give us more of her greatness. <3
WTF did I just read and why TF did it receive so many four and five star reviews? I'm beginning to think I read a completely different book from the one all of the other readers read because the book I just finished reading is not worthy of four stars, let alone five stars, are you people fucking kidding me? OMFG! I was so angry that I even bought this book that I almost DNF but I paid $ for it so I just pushed through all the disgusting acts and forced myself to finish it.
I get it, MC books are supposed to be dark and gritty to a certain point, there's supposed to be acts of violence and mayhem but through it all there's also supposed to be a connection between the H and the h, this is why we MC lovers and fanatics read these stories! There was absolutely no connection between Grizz and Piper, certainly not a love connection, more like a destructive one.
Piper was supposed to be some bad ass, tough as nails executive, but what she was in reality was a slut. She either screwed or sucked her way to the top and wasn't even ashamed or embarrassed to admit that. (Ewww) Her behavior was so destructive that she didn't even care enough to use a condom the first time she had sex with Grizz, she even told him she didn't care if he had any STDs...again Ewwwww! Plus how fucking idiotic and pathetic was she to not only keep taking him back but keep fucking him, without protection, even though she knew he was having sex with multiple women! She was disgusting and as a female I am sadden that women like her actually do exist..
Grizz...well he was a crazy, nasty son of a bitch! Its enough to say that I'm shocked he never caught anything always fucking without protection. I don't think he cared about anyone but himself and his club, he made that very clear. He was a very sad individual, because the only way he could feel like a man was by calling his supposed woman a bitch and a cunt, then walking away to screw another woman, that just makes you weak and pathetic.
There were one or two funny scenes but that's about it, hell even the damn dog meets its maker....sighs...others may have had their crazy reasons for liking this weird ass book, but there were too many negatives for me to like it with them!
Holy shiz people! This book is a huge departure from HJ's previous books (The My Way Series, read them!) in the best way possible! This book is a dark story with dark but redeemable characters. In this book you get to witness a huge transition for both Grizz and Piper. They both start off as completely unlikeable, cold, distant people and eventually evolve into a couple of my favorite characters. I can't say much without spoilers but you have to read this book! It's waaayyy darker than anything else you've read from HJ, it's not hearts and flowers and it's hard to imagine a happy ending for these two as you read through it. But as you get to know Piper and Grizz you want the happy ending for them. I can't even begin to imagine what's coming next, but I can't wait to see what HJ writes after this.
Wow. Just WOW!!! I knew that this book was going to amazing because Heidi wrote it but man she out did herself this time. It’s a raw, cut down, hard to take story that leaves you bleeding for Piper and wanting to beat the shit out of Grizz all while secretly dying that they just make it work together. Heidi always takes her characters to the edge then throws them off without hesitation and makes you crave to ride it out with them to the end. Heidi put her heart, soul and guts into this book and you won’t be disappointed. It’s time to get down and dirty with Grizz and Piper!!
3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This is like buying an E-ticket at Disneyland and going on the ultimate MC club book ride. Sometimes you're not really sure what's going on but its entertaining and it keeps you hooked. And, just be warned, by entertaining I mean all the usual things that happen in these books. Murder, mayhem, sex here, there and everywhere, and even the dog dies. But, something is happening almost every moment and I did fall in love with big loveable H Grizz and h Piper finally wormed her way into my heart also. A fun ride for someone that doesn't take it all that seriously.
My favorite biker book to date. HJ Bellus will forever be my bitch for making Griffith a.k.a Griff b.k.a Grizz p.g.n Grizzy.... Dang this love story was HOT, emotional and at the right place at the right time. Thank You for choosing love over cuts new book boyfriend. WOW, I had to text my girl who loves bikers to see if she 1-clicked this bitch. Shot them in there head and dick #epic. He told him if he touch her he will kill him.
I am picky when it comes to MC books but I have to say this book was awesome!! The emotions in this book were crazy I felt everything in this book!! Grizz and Piper were fantastic characters especially together you never knew what they were going to do or say to each other ha
This is one of those stories that you need to wait and absorb before you rate it. When I first finished it I thought maybe 3 or 3.5 but after a day or so when I couldn’t get the book out of my mind, I realized this was one of the better MC romances I have read. The h is one of those strong, kick ass women with the morals of a slut at the beginning of the story. She is a product of the foster care system after her father murders her mother and commits suicide. She's a savvy business woman who doesn't mind using sex to get what she wants. The H is a member of a MC and he also has emotional baggage because his sister was kidnapped, raped, murdered and he feels like he didn't protect her so now he won't commit to a real relationship. It's your usual violent, gritty one per center club. I did like the love story that develops between Grizz and Piper. There is a HEA. As far as cheating goes, some readers would say yes and some with more liberal views would say no. You just have to read it to make your own determination. However, if you think cheating occurs after they meet and just say hello, then don't read it. When I first started reading the book it seems liked the writing was very basic and stilted but then it started to flow for me and got better. I’m looking forward to another one in this series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Yet another dirty mouthed biker and the (not so innocent) woman who is in the "wrong place, wrong time" as she witnesses something she shouldn't have and is now club property. I borrowed this from a friend because she knows my big love for MC books...especially ones with sexy bad boys and tough as nails women who fight for what they want. It was a fast and exciting read! Piper is a smart and strong executive woman who isn't above giving the occasional BJ to get what she wants in a business deal...until she meets her match in the really rough-around-the-edges outlaw biker Grizz. What follows is a battle of wills between the two of them as they deal with not only her diabetes and sugar comas...but keeping her safe until they can figure out how to get her away from the war between two MCs and on her way back to her old life. Be warned this book is full of hot sex, violent fights, a brutal rape scene and some raunchy dialogue...oh and we can't forget some hot pancake action =)
Characters that will make you love them and hate them at the same time. They'll take you on a collision course that will leave your head spinning and heart pumping. They'll take hold of you in a consuming tale of pain, hurt and heartache. It will tear you to pieces before finally piecing you back together. If you're looking for a MC book that is gritty, gripping and gut wrenching than look no further! Join Grizz and Piper as they take you along the collision course of their world. HJ says it all...two greedy, stubborn and self serving souls with one outcome!
Eu gosto muito desta autora e venho acompanhando de perto o trabalho dela. O livro é bem intenso e a história é interessante. A leitura me fisgou desde o início e fiquei lendo até a madrugada. O herói e heroína são bem reais e de personalidade marcante. Os dois passaram por situações traumáticas na vida e superaram. As histórias paralelas também são interessantes e ficamos curiosos para saber mais. Gostei e recomendo!
---------------------
I really like this author and have read the previous books. The story is very intense and very interesting. Reading hooked me from the start and I was reading by dawn. The hero and heroine are quite real and outstanding personality. The two have been through traumatic situations in life and overcame. The parallel stories are also interesting and we were curious to learn more. I enjoyed and recommend!
A hot biker plus a strong woman, neither one looking for love but they find it anyway! This was a really good book and I am hoping this is going to be a series!
Motorcycle Club romance stories are my favorite type of stories... so I was quite excited to check this book out, since I haven't read something by H.J. Bellus. The cover was nice and the synopsis seemed interesting, so I went ahead... Not a good call, as there were several issues that got on my nerves. ¬ Why Piper is pictured as "kick-ass" business woman, but she uses her body to climb the corporate ladder? Even her "fiance" knows about it... ¬ Why Grizz feels "something" about Piper but still, he has $€X with other women at various moments in the book?
Some days are good days for GIF reviews, other days are not. Unfortunately since it's 8am, I haven't slept yet or had coffee, it's not a GIF posting day (sorry) so I'll just sum up my opinions on this real quick: 1) Hated the heroine right from chapter 1. 2) The hero was...Well, a crazy murderer. 3) Rape - you know how I just love reading about that(Note: Sarcasm) 4) I felt no sparkle between the H and h 5) Writing level was pretty good but I felt no connection.
This was quite a rollercoaster of emotions. I was shocked, mad, felt the love, mad again, sad, shocked, devastated, sad again, then happy. Whew, I think I need to read something light and fluffy now!
This was, in no way, a 5* novel. When giving out stars I compare to some of my favourite authors like Lynda Chance, Lisa Marie Rice, Sophie Oak and books like Undeniable, Reapers Property and ask myself how this book compares. I'm serious about giving recommendations to other readers and less interested in flattering authors. So, this is a 2* novel. Storyline was ok, if a little choppy. Hero went from ass*#le to wimp and back again. And again. And again...... Finally got to the point when he "walked away" I was hoping he'd stay away. The author seems to have a certain talent, but didn't take the time to really flesh out the story and make the relationships realistically connect. Everything seemed too hurried and the novel suffered. The author also chose to have some horrific things happen to the h and didn't show the care that is needed when dealing with those issues. In closing, not a terrible effort, may be worth a read if you have some time to fill, but certainly keep your expectations low.
WTF. After reading the glowing reviews and downloading the first few chapters from amazon, I purchased this book. I was very excited, couldn't wait to devour it. Woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. Witness to the murders of a mc (by some other mc club members). She's taken, knocked out, and held against her will. Biker dude with a heart is all about protecting her blah blah blah. All good stuff in my book. But then WTF?? A few more chapters into the book and it was like wait. Did I just accidentally flip to another book because the writing style and tone completely changed. The story became very choppy and any character development achieved in the first few chapters totally disappeared. It's like random words were put in front of me to absorb. I'm so freaked out by the randomness (once you get beyond the first few chapters) that I'm thinking about asking for my money back. I don't think I've been this angry in at least a decade over a book purchase. Excuse me while I go find my happy place.
This is a ok biker book with some hot sex scenes, I was entertained during some of it.... However, this book could have been so much more.... It's still a MC book that's worth your time but don't expect that wow factor.
