Gonzo's Grudge: Saint's Outlaws MC: Dreadnought, NC
Part Shattered Saint
After surviving a war zone, Gabriel “Gonzo” Gonzales found himself restless and longing for a connection with his brothers in arms. Having patched to the Saints Outlaws MC, he became at ease like never before.
Life was good with people he trusted at his back. Until the person who mattered most in his world dealt with the worst of betrayals firsthand. With his son paying the consequences for someone else’s crime, Gonzo had one focus driving revenge.
The grudge would change everything for Gonzo. Needing to change the playing field, he locked in on his target and set his mission for revenge.
Deep in a valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains was a town no one thought twice about. Dreadnought, North Carolina was a quiet place where no outsider dared to enter since the Saint’s Outlaws moved in.
Gonzo won’t lose control. He won’t stop until he’s settled the score. The brothers behind him won’t back down even if it costs them everything.
The Saint’s Outlaws protect their own to the very end.
Welcome to the battle for vengeance.
These outlaws won’t be stopped until the scales are tipped in their favor once more.
Part Gonzo's Grudge
There were always casualties of war.
That was what Gabriel “Gonzo” Gonzales told himself once he locked in on the target of his grudge. The man who shattered his world had a weakness in his only daughter, Gonzo would exploit this any way he could.
IvaLeigh Walsh lived a sheltered life behind the gated community she was raised in. College was a new freedom and she was learning not everyone could be trusted.
One misfortune after another plagued the young woman. Yet, at every turn a stranger who called himself Gonzo seemed to be her savior.
The attraction was real, but the man’s intentions were anything but pure.
She was entangled in a war of men and didn’t even realize the battlefield had become her heart. Torn between the life she knew and the life she was being shown, IvaLeigh didn’t know what to believe anymore.
Gonzo had one make the judge who locked his son up pay. IvaLeigh was nothing more than collateral damage … until she wasn’t.
There was something about her the outlaw couldn’t resist. Try as he might when push came to shove, the Saint’s Outlaws MC owned him and her family was on the wrong side of the war. No matter how much the young woman twisted the man up inside, the club, his family, they always came first.
Yet, IvaLeigh accepted this part of him like no one had before. Somehow in the mess their worlds had become, they began building something altogether different and completely their own.
*Each book in the Saint's Outlaws Dreadnought, NC series is a full-length, interconnected, stand-alone novel over 300 pages in paperback format that concludes with an HEA for that couple. Please note this is not meant to be an exact depiction of life in a motorcycle club, but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain.
Gonzo's Grudge is 338 pages in paperback.

Thank you for choosing me for this ARC!
What a powerful start to this series! Gonzo’s Grudge is gritty, emotional, and addictive. I was hooked from the first pages.
Gabriel “Gonzo” Gonzales is a war-hardened vet turned MC president whose life unravels when his son is falsely sentenced to life in prison by a corrupt judge. Bent on vengeance, Gonzo targets the judge’s daughter, IvaLeigh, planning to use her as a pawn. But what begins as a cold, calculated move shifts into something far more complicated as real feelings get tangled in his war.
IvaLeigh is a character who grows so much: starting out sheltered and naive, she discovers her courage and fire in the harshest of circumstances. And Gonzo… what a man. He’s raw, honest to a fault, terrifying at times, yet he makes her feel safe in a world that is anything but. Their chemistry is magnetic and their relationship builds in a way that feels both intense and believable.
I don’t usually go for age-gap romances, but here it didn’t feel heavy-handed at all. Gonzo’s presence, his honesty, and the way he protects her made the gap fade into the background. This is more than a romance. It’s about brotherhood, loyalty, betrayal, and finding love in the middle of chaos.
The suspense, the emotion, the heat, it had everything I love in an MC romance. And that ending left me both satisfied and excited for more. I cannot wait for Loco’s story next.
Highly recommended for readers who enjoy MC romance that’s raw, gritty, and full of heart.

Loved This Book
Gonzo is ex-military and he is also the current President of Saints Outlaws MC. Now Gonzo is out for revenge since his son is framed for murder and receives life without parole for a murder he did not commit. When Gonzo targets the dirty judge’s daughter, Ivaleigh, things take a turn and the seemingly meek woman shows that there is much more to her and that is what gets Gonzo’s attention.
This book had it all from age gap, betrayals, twists and turns, chemistry and steam which made this book a big page turner. I am hooked and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Do I think you should dive into this MC revenge-war? YES!
To Gonzo, his MC and his son are his life. When someone comes for them both, he's going for blood. Theirs!
He knows he's never been a "good" person, just like he knows that someone with dirt, deep pockets and an ax to grind is behind all of it. And he's willing to do whatever it takes to get his son back.
Ivaleigh is a young college student and as innocent as they come. After her friend's betrayal at a party, she heads home to her parents to have time to think. When her car dies on a dark back road in a small town, all she can think about is how she'll probably die in a little nowhere place and never be found. When an older smexy biker comes along, she's not afraid but cautious. He didn't accept any payment for helping her and even followed her home to make sure that she was safe.
Little does she know, she's a pawn in a war that she has nothing to do with.
But, is she really a pawn or a reality, an undeniable pull, a, , ,love that he can't live without? Will the truth steal her from him?
The deceptions run deep in this one and the Saints Outlaws plan to bring them all down!

Gonzo is a tough, no-nonsense ex-military vet who’s forced to step up as President of his MC after the sudden death of their leader—and things only get more complicated when his son is framed for the murder. Enter Ivaleigh, the daughter of the same judge who just so happens to be the one who sentenced Gonzo’s son to life without parole.
What starts as a calculated move to get his son out of prison quickly spirals into something much deeper. The chemistry between Gonzo and Ivaleigh is undeniable, and as they navigate a maze of lies, betrayals, and shifting loyalties, the stakes get higher for everyone involved.
Gripping, emotional, and full of heat—I couldn’t put it down. Already looking forward to the next book in the series!

Gonzo is ex-military and after the president of their MC is dead, he is forced to step up as the new president. Gonzo is fueled by vengeance after his son is sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole, and Leigh is the judge’s daughter.

This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with found family, friendships, lies, betrayal, tension, loyalty, revenge, an age gap, revelations, trust, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, twisted, and unpredictable, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I slipped in this book as smooth as silk, I fell
In book love with Gabriel ‘Gonzo’ Gonzales from the start, I mourned for Pops with him, I shared his anger and grief over his son and routed for him and IvaLeigh and prayed he wouldn’t hurt her the ha ha’d him Nelson style when he caught feels for her .
After the betrayal of her room mate and her boyfriend, then Gonzo and her dad this girl proved that she may have only been on this earth for 22 yrs but she was older and wiser mentally. Her character made the age gap so easy to forget, she is stronger than that, she’s loyal to a fault and makes one hell of an old lady
I can’t wait to get in the lives of more brother

Gonzo is one complicated man. He is honest to a fault even if it’s something that will hurt. He hides nothing. IvaLeigh is one smart woman. She has more compassion and courage than most people her age. They make for one interesting mix. I loved all the twists in this story. Could not put this book down. Loved the ending.

Wow, this story is so intense and full of drama, the unexpected events for them seem to take everyone off guard. There is so much political corruption, murder, and setting people up, for crimes they didn't commit. The Judges, officials are so in people's pockets, unknown who anyone can trust. This story kept me glued reading from the start to finish.

I feel for the man that Gonzo had become because life was never meant to drag you down but his had. Then the forces that be decided to mess with something that meant more than his own life. Sparking a vow of vengeance from within the depths of Gonzo.
Gonzo wasn't meant to find happiness in the middle of despair but alas the smile of IvaLeigh changed that for him. A love that he knew he couldn't have because his lifestyle just doesn't fit it or so he thinks.
I loved this book because it shows what life can give you, it shows you what you want to have, and it shows you that you have to stand strong in order to have what you want. When life gives you an opportunity at a chance for something you must take that chance to make you better. The story of this couple is one that will have you gripping the edge of your seat and praying that it doesn't stop.
Plot and characters worked very well together. Characters added to the plot of the story and the banter of the brothers added to it even more. Bravo a job well done Miss Chelsea. I can't wait to read what comes in the next book.

Gonzo & Ivaleigh
Gonzo unexpectedly gets placed a the higher order of power in the MC while he son gets life in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Gonzo swears vengeance on the man who wronged them and will get it by any means necessary. Gonzo needs a Pawn.
Ivaleigh is a college student who doesn’t fit in with the crowd. Driving to home one night her car breaks down with no cell reception but lucky for her Gonzo shows up r just the right time on just the ride road and saves her. The same happens again when she gets 2 flat tires. They begin to spend time with each other. Gonzo can’t get her out of his head and Ivaleigh goes along for the ride. Little does she know her world will come crashing down in more way than one when an enemy fills her head with knowledge that she’s just a pawn in a man’s war.
This is a grifter love story, no pretty words or flowery emotion but lots of raw grit.

Chelsea always has such a way of sucking you in from the very beginning and then you never want to leave. The story and characters always have me wanting more. The stories aren’t overdone and they aren’t super lengthy. We get to the point and we get an awesome read every time. Love the MC books!
Gonzo is coasting in life after being in a war zone and just going through the motions until his club and his family are dragged into something bigger than he ever expected. Then it’s time to get his revenge. He’s fighting for his club and his son and he knows just the target.
IvaLeigh is in school and trying her best. She hits a couple rough patches and this guy just seems to always be there when she needs help. He’s much older but they have chemistry. They have to decide if it’s worth all of the trouble to be together.

I really loved this book. This is only the second book of the Saint's Outlaws series I have read, but I have read many of Chelsea's books. This book grabbed my attention right away and kept me interested to the very end! I loved how Iva Leigh seemed to come into herself as the book went on. She started out seeming meek and naive, but she found her fire and strength! I love how while she was busy growing, Gonzo was figuring out new things about himself, all while getting things done in the MC. And boy were there many things to get done! I can't wait to see what happens next in Loco's book! I recommend to everyone who loves MC Series to read this book, I believe you will enjoy it!

Gonzo drags you through the brutal clash of hate & love, his raw honesty cutting deep & leaving scars. His life is unfiltered, messy almost too hard to swallow. Iva, with her quiet sweetness & undeniable strength, is the anchor that steadies the storm. Their relationship doesn’t ignite in a blaze but builds slow & steady, forging something real from the wreckage. When the truth finally shatters the surface, the heartbreak is crushing, yet Gonzo’s blinding transformation grips you with awe. Brotherhood & loyalty bleeds through every page.
September 11, 2025
If I had to choose one word to describe Gonzo's Grudge it would be gritty.
It's a story of betrayal on so many levels, revenge, plotting and scheming, and love on so many levels. Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy? Or are the good guys missing? (Hint: They're not) It's also a story of acceptance that none of us are perfect so sometimes we have to find perfection and acceptance in the world around us.
Fair warning: If you do not enjoy significant age-gap stories, then this book is not for you.

Gonzo is ex-military and President of the Saints Outlaw MC. He would do anything for his son, and when he is falsely sentenced to life in prison by a corrupt judge, he ends up targeting his daughter. Ivaleigh is a young college student who seems very innocent, however; she proves that she is much strong than given credit for and loyal to a fault.
Their story is action packed full of betrayals, revenge, emotional roller coaster ride with many twists and turns. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fab read
Gritty, good plot, loved the characters. The world felt solid, the cast of side characters with main character energy really helped with that. Chelsea has a very choppy and brief way of writing conversations that feels like true biker speech, and a poetic way with a turn of phrase. This was my first read of her work and I'm so impressed. Raced through it. Will be diving straight into Loco's Last now.

This story has many twists and turns, as well as ups and downs, but I couldn't put it down. Gonzo has a complicated past and is not a good person. IvaLeigh is young and innocent, but I feel she sees something good in Gonzo. I would recommend this book because it allows you to see all sides of FMC and MMC.
September 21, 2025
So to start off with Gonzo is not the most upstanding citizen there is. He’s a veteran that has also done some things in his past. This book has a lot of twist and turns though out. From betrayals to politicians. I loved the chemistry between Ivaleigh and himself. There is a bit of an age which just adds to the story. This one kept me on the edge of my seat with awesome chemistry among them.

Define page turner
A wild, intense, raw and emotional ride to go on. Gonzo and Ivaleigh are total opposites that fit perfectly together. Their road was bumpy, they had lots of obstacles to climb but their deep bond held them together. I loved everything about this story. I didn’t want it to end.

good read
Good read. Liked Gabriel and his loyalty to the MC and his son. Good storyline although did think that IvaLeigh was a tad too innocent and naive given her family background and father. Would have liked to know what her mother was gonna do when things hit the fan. Overall a good read.

Wow, what a start to this series. This book was absolutely amazing. I will have a hard time waiting for the next book to come out. Age gap, alpha biker, this book was so unpredictable and really kept me on my toes.

💓💖💓 Gonzo and IvaLeigh 💓💖💓 Gonzo was rough and angry. IvaLeigh was niave. This is a wonderful booknand should be on your TBR list. I enjoyed the storyline and I look forward to the next part of this series!

So good…
From the past remembered to the present drama, Gonzo has a lot to fight for. The MC is his family, him doing anything needed to protect them. When he meets Iva and sparks fly, things become more than he expects. Quite a “ride”!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
Buckle up. It is going to be a bumpy ride that you are going to love every single second of. This is the first book in the Saint's Outlaws MC. Welcome to Dreadnought, NC. A town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just so happens that's where I live. Well, not the fictional town but in the mountains of Western NC. The Blue Ridge Mountains. Where the mountains are beautiful and yes some days they look blue. So, because of that I could so perfectly picture this town. This is the story of Gonzo and IvaLeigh. Gonzo is a veteran and has done some things that some might consider him as a bad man. However, I think it is a to know the real him is to love him kind of situation. He has a code that he lives by and doesn't break it. He is now in a situation that is difficult and he is at odds with how to deal with it. There is only one right way to deal with it after all. I think I forgot to mention that is he the President of the Saint's Outlaws MC. Now he finds himself with a son that is falsely accused and convicted of murder and sent to prison by a very corrupt judge. Now he is out for vengeance. IvaLeigh is his target and the judge's daughter. She is to be his pawn. However, when she meets her he knows that he is in trouble and soon feelings start to come into play. I don't think I can say more about the book than this. I will say that I devoured this book. It is full of twists and turns and I thought it was a rather emotional read. I loved that we got so much growth in IvaLeigh from the first time we met her to the end of the book. I loved that she found some serious courage that she was lacking too. She and Gonzo are just pure perfection for each other. He makes her want to change some things about himself too. There is so much growth. Moments that will take your breath and have you on the edge of your seat. I loved every single second of this book. You do not want to miss it.

Gonzo's Grudge is book 1 in the Saint's Outlaws MC, Dreadnought, N.C. Chapter. The series starts out with Gonzo and IvaLeigh's story and it's definitely the way to start a new series. Thier story is
a variety of emotions and readers feel them all. Gonzo is not what I would necessarily call a bad guy but he's done things, obviously, that's considered bad. He's a veteran and he used the military to hide and then his club but IvaLeigh changes something in him and makes him want better.
"Men like me are built out of bad decisions and duct tape."
They have a long haul and Gonzo's life changes but so does he. This is a fantastic, consuming, age gap read that keeps you in place from start to finish.
