Cold Burn

Iron Tornadoes MC #2

by Olivia Rigal

Brian Hatcher wants it all - control of the motorcycle club his father runs, the murderer of his best friend David six feet under, and, more than anything, David's sister Lisa.
He wants Lisa on the back of his bike, in his home, in his bed, and under the spell of his cold burn. 
But, with Lisa unsure of the role the Iron Tornadoes played in her brother's death and her long-held goal of becoming a criminal prosecutor, what Brian wants may be nothing like what Brian gets.

Moi je dis que ça devrait pas être possible de faire des couvertures de plus en plus laides 😭😭

I despise this cliff hanger trap that more and more authors are doing...the buy the next book just to find another cliff hanger is just not for me. Sadly I like the books but not enough to continue the series at this time

So some questions were answered but now I have more. So it's safe to say we will have more than o this story. I hope we have it soon. I love Brian but Everest is just at the top as well. I wonder about David....now he seems interesting.

If you haven't read Stone Cold, I would suggest you do before reading this book. You will have more of a background for the characters and will help with the story. I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review.

Cold Burn starts about a year after Stone Cold ended. The story starts with Brian "Ice", and boy do you get a few surprises in the first couple of chapters. They were great surprises and I did not see them coming at all. (I hate posting spoilers, so sorry I'm being vague about what the surprises are, you'll just have to read the book).

The MC's protection company has him off to protect a rock star. He has no clue that Lisa knows the rocker and his brother, until she shows up at the concert. She is all beaten up and has an arm in a sling. Brian figures out why she was "mugged". But who can he trust to help him put all the pieces together. Is David really alive?

I really enjoyed reading this book. I did go back and reread Stone Cold first, because it's been awhile and after reading the first chapter of Cold Burn, I thought maybe I missed something in Stone Cold. But all the pieces and questions start to come together while reading Cold Burn. Great story, and I will keep reading books by Olivia.

Unfortunately, Cold Burn took the same route as Cold Stone and rushed us to another conclusion that left me scratching my head and wondering how we so quickly got to this spot. Granted, the book is under 150 pages, so the author needs to move the story along. But, again, I felt rushed to an ending of the story that left so many unanswered questions that I wondered how I got there. A bombshell was dropped about Lisa's brother and we get "she laughed" and then we moved onto something else.

Was an interesting twist with David not really being dead.
Definitely interested to see how this series will be wrapped up.

Very very very hard to follow. Jumps a lot and just so jumbled. Is it mc or bdsm or police...just too much going on with no flow. I wanted to like it :(

[Jennifer Mackechney · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tease not worth 2.99

While I am enjoying the book its much to short to charge 2.99 for the what you get there's to much unanswered leaving me unwilling to buy the next one

On a la suite de Brian et Lisa mais du point de vue de Brian cette fois.
On en apprend plus sur lui, il reste un personnage perplexe, il a un côté tout doux à fond sur Lisa et un côté un peu connard qui donne des ordres et aussi il complimente un peu trop les autres femmes même si c’est dans sa tête alors que si juste elle parle avec quelqu’un sans arrière pensée, il pete un plomb.

La romance est clairement secondaire et du coup on dirait il manque des scènes entre Brian et Lisa pour bien comprendre leur relation. On voit quand même que les deux sont amoureux, c’est une évidence entre eux mais il manque un peu de développement.
J’aime aussi le développement de Lisa qui a du courage, elle se cache pas dernière lui, elle le protège aussi et lui court pas après.

J’aime beaucoup le côté enquête sur l’histoire de la mort de David et toute les révélations autour.

Par contre la fin est un peu sec on dirait il manque une fin justement.

I have so many gripes about this story, but I will try to be brief. am incredibly fucking irritated. A story with potential lost to piss poor execution. You split one novel into two books as a cash grab, and it’s really not even worth the few dollars I spent. 2 books and still no substance. A spineless fmc who allows herself to be degraded without apology. Furthermore, your love interest is a dick who is not just disrespectful himself, but allows his brothers to also be disrespectful. Where tf are his balls exactly? Nowhere in sight. This mf is supposed to be VP? No.

Here’s a thought. Don’t write stories about a subculture that you don’t understand or have experience in. It’s glaringly obvious.

Also, as a side note, Florida natives don’t use Mum. Ever. Not a single one.

These books are definitely written for readers who have always complained about an author who uses too many words and should just get to the point. Olivia has heard your cries and writes just for you guys. She doesn't set-up a plot, she just gives us a plot. She doesn't set-up the slow burn of a romance, the romance is just there. She doesn't conduct an investigation into the death of a cop, she just resolves....very neatly.
The audible books are quick and easy reads for those who are taking a quick trip down the road and want something entertaining to read. These are also good for those who are close to a reading goal but don't have enough time to read a 300 page book.
For me though.....when I can get the books for free, I will continue reading this series. Y

Libro elegido para el reto literario del grupo de FB de Juani Hernández, es la segunda parte del libro Frio como el hielo, y es el desenlace de la historia de Lisa, como me ha pasado con la primera me ha parecido pobre en el sentido de la traducción por qué hay giros y expresiones que no están bien y dificultan el entendimiento.
Lo he terminado por qué quería saber como terminaba la historia, pero habría que hacerle un buen repaso.

[Melann · Rating 2 out of 5]

J'ai eu l'impression d'avoir loupé un livre entre le tome 1 et ce tome, mais non. Du coup l'entrée dans l'histoire n'est pas évidente, et le type de narration (1ère personne au présent :s) n'aide pas. On ne va pas vraiment au fond de l'intrigue, c'est souvent un peu superficiel.
Pas mal de fautes de syntaxe et quelques coquilles, dommage.

Brian figures out some secrets regarding

Brian figures out some secrets regarding his friend's death. Lisa is to return home now that she has finished law school and is prepping to take the bar exam.

I enjoyed this read 📚 even though I feel these first two stories could've been combined into one book.

Cold Burn

Have to say this series hooked me I like the characters and the storyline I'm looking forward to the third book. The Iron Tornadoes are not your normal run the mill bikers.

[Debra (Dragon Nanny) Phiri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it! Book 2 in the series just as great a read as the first! I love Brian and Lisa’s story!

What a great series to be reading and loving! The characters are so much fun to get to know! I am ready for more by Olivia!

[Cindy Bormuth · Rating 5 out of 5]

very interesting

I enjoyed reading this story I wish it was longer and would have continued with there story. I done mind reading a series that finishes one story and the next on starts out with the former supporting character as the main character.

[Alison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enticing read

These stories are short and sweet but you are captured from page 1. Brian aka Ice is a complex character bad boy in public but with a sweet side to those he cares about. Lisa is fiesty and stubborn the 2 make a perfect combination.

[Nicki - The Overflowing Bookcase · Rating 4 out of 5]

The saga continues for Brian and Lisa but this time it may be the MC involvement in her brother's death that ends them just as they reunite. Questions go unanswered and the plot thickens with every turn of the page. There is more to this story than at first glance. I cannot wait for more.

[Dave and Joan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have now read all "10" books one after the other in less than "5" days. I had to get the full story about this MC family. Great read and great characters. Very soon into the books you really know everyone and how they tick. A must read series!

[Annuccia Palmeri · Rating 4 out of 5]

La storia prosegue con il pov di Brian che ci rivela le sue attività e i retroscena familiari, questa serie si sta dimostrando diversa da come la immaginavo, ad esempio non è infarcita di sesso.

Histoire sympathique même si ce n'est pas un de mes livre préféré.

[Jamie Speck · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are very quick reads. I am enjoying the characters and the intrigue. Can’t wait for the next one

I know it's a good book when it isn't free on Kindle Unlimited. I read Iron Tornadoes MC #1 and then bought this one to finish this part of the story.

[Noreen Bennett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Straight on to this story to see where it goes. Am not disappointed. Another fantastic story.

[Paige Whitecotton · Rating 5 out of 5]

❤️.

Loved the rest Lisa and Brian “Ice’s” story. This book still leaves you wanting more and wanting the much needed answers to questions. I like that In a series.

[Felicia Seay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

Finally, clarity! Books one and two should have been just one book. But this was a much better read than book one in my opinion.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome but short

I wish it was a little longer but it was a good story. I knew there was going to be twist. The twist wasn't what I expected.

[Valérie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Second épisode de la série ‘ Les tornades D’Acier ’, nous suivons le récit par la voix de Brian cette fois-ci, le motard si sexy qui fait vibrer Lisa notre héroïne. J’avais reproché à l’auteure d’en avoir fait dans le premier épisode un personnage un peu trop lisse, qui manquait de peps. Je reviens sur mon jugement, il apparait ici beaucoup plus ‘ mauvais garçon ’ tout en gardant ce côté protecteur quand il s’agit de la femme qu’il aime. Nous en apprenons également un peu plus et même si c’est encore peu sur son activité dans le fameux ‘ donjon ’, la petite noirceur de son mauvais côté transparait légèrement dans cet épisode et cela rajoute à son charme.

Lisa est beaucoup plus en arrière-plan, égale à elle-même, toujours aussi sympathique et fraiche, sa relation avec Brian est mouvementée, mais surtout à cause du caractère de la demoiselle qui est déteste être prise pour une chose fragile. Si elle n’a pas abandonné son idée qu’il existe un mystère derrière la mort de son frère, elle n’a que des doutes, par contre Brian avec l’aide d’Ernest et celle plus inattendue du patron de David va enquêter et découvrir la vérité. Je dois dire que je ne m’attendais pas du tout au tournant que prend l’intrigue, de même j’ai été surprise par les révélations concernant certains personnages, Olivia Rigal réussit à surprendre agréablement ses lectrices.

Alors même si cela reste une romance contemporaine légère et très ‘ sucrée ’ malgré le profil du couple de héros, c’est bien écrit, agréable à lire, une lecture toute douce pour passer un agréable moment. Tout n’étant pas résolu j’espère que la suite arrivera bientôt.

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After I read Stone Cold (book one in the Iron Tornados MC series) I had made up my mind on what was to come in book two. I was certain I knew who was guilty, who was being truthful and who was lying. Well if that was you too I suggest you throw every one of those ideas out the window because Olivia Rigal managed to set my ideas to ashes.

When we left off in book one Brian and Lisa had finally gotten together (kind of). Brian was determined to get all the things he wanted in life. But three goals were the most important. He wanted to be president of his MC, he wanted to make the SOB's who killed his best friend pay, but most of all he wanted the love of his life (Lisa) by his side forever.

Throughout this book everything is questioned. Lisa is also determined to find out who killed her brother. Problem is she believes it was the Iron Tornadoes MC. Lies are revealed that can shatter or make the relationship that is blooming between Brian and Lisa.

Can he prove to her that he is the only man for her? Are they strong enough to battle what is coming?

This is a quick read and the storyline is pretty fast paced. We see some characters from another of Olivia's series as well.
