The New Year Outburst

by Addy Archer, Esther E. Schmidt

Maeve - Four months pregnant, dumped, and moving to another state to live with my mother. My main focus should be all about getting my life back on track. The first friend I met through a text message, though, is giving me a wild shot at a whole new me, along with a promising future.

Reef - I made the mistake of friend-zoning myself with the pregnant daughter of my president’s old lady. Meeting her face-to-face and spending time with her only makes me aware of how much she intrigues me, even if she’s carrying another man’s child. The need to claim her as mine is roaring through every cell of my body, and it’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I was thrilled to see that Maeve and Reef were getting their own book! I loved what I had seen of them in Christmas Outburst.

Maeve is the kind of woman I'd be friends with. Sassy, strong-willed, says what she feels and is very protective over those she connects with. I loved that even though she'd been recently dissed hard by someone she held her heart open. Her budding friendship with Reef was sweet, honest, and endearing. Even if it was obvious Reef was sweet on her!

Reef is so swoon-worthy! Goodness, gracious, fan my face! Stepping up like he does not just for his brotherhood, but for Maeve? He steps in and takes care of her even though he's in the friend zone. It made me just swoon harder. He's that alpha male type but not in an overbearing, distateful way. Instead he makes you ant to get closer to him in all the ways! I love how he was honest about taking himself out of the friendzone.

Then it wouldn't be an Esther and Addy book if there wasn't some type of supsnese mixed in. Mmhmmm I was eyeballing a certain someone and just knew something was up! The details of what goes down was well written (not spoiling it) and gave me goosebumps! It played out in a realistic way that was perfect.

In the end, when it all comes together it made me seriously happy. Another winner for me!

I loved this story..

I’m always amazed when one badass biker falls in love and then seems as though no other brother can find their same happiness.

When the VP, Reef starts having an ongoing “text relationship” with the Prez’s old lady’s daughter Maeve, he is instantly warned by the Prez to stay away, but how can he when Maeve is funny and sweet and has a desperate need for pickles as she makes the big move to c9me live with her mom while she’s expecting. When Maeve arrives, their connection depends and he finds himself drawn to the beautiful woman. Unfortunately, someone else wants her too and that poses a problem for him and his club.
Maeve is a single pregnant woman moving in with her mom while she’s expecting figured out what to do with her life. Falling for a biker wasn’t in the plans, but when she meets him, she is 100% all in. If only she could shake the strange neighbor across the street and of course, the murder.
I love a good story built around the holidays. This is a cute quick read that ties into the Christmas story. Maeve and Reef are so cute and funny you couldn’t help but want them to find their HEA.

The New Year Outburst is part of a duet in which both books can be read as standalones, but I highly recommend reading Christmas Outburst first. Both books are quick reads with fabulous storylines. The New Year Outburst starts up after Christmas Outburst ends. This is Maeve, Nixie’s daughter (Nixie is from book 1) and Reef, the club’s VP, story. Mauve is pregnant and has been dumped by her ex. She began texting back and forth with Reef while discussing her mother and the club’s Prez, Zane. These two probably got to know more about one another than most people do when they first start dating. When Maeve finally arrives at her mother’s home, Reef takes one look at Maeve and not only does he know he wants her, his protective side towards her and her unborn baby flare. Little do they know their troubles are just being.

This is a heartfelt read full of suspense, laughs and romance. It will keep you enthralled from start to finish. I highly recommend grabbing up both the quick read books. You won’t be sorry you did.

2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars

Fiesty, forthright, sassy and strong female lead, not afraid to say what she thinks or go after what she wants. She is loving and has a great relationship with her mum, I felt they were more like sisters. Reef stands up to his Prez and stands up for what he wants. Supportive, loving and protective. There are some moving special moments during this fast paced read, I totally smiled most of the way through reading it. Obviously we have the bad guys as well, a douch of an ex and a creep. Leon has great role models and it shows in his behaviour that he is also protective of the two women, even though still young. This may be a fast, short story but it has plenty of content to soak up and enjoy, I hope many readers do as much as I did. Sparks and fireworks, heat and love, with romance biker style.

I was so excited to read this book after reading Christmas Outburst. I would recommend reading Christmas Outburst first to get a bit of back story on these two. Maeve, who is the daughter of Nixie from Christmas Outburst, is a strong woman and has some feistiness in her especially after getting pregnant and dumped by her ex-boyfriend. Reef is the VP and is very protective over the people he loves and considers family. Reef and Maeve's relationship started off as friends texting each other and getting to know each other better. I loved how their relationship forms and how they felt so comfortable with each other. Once these two get together the sparks fly and I love how Reef sets right up to be the man Maeve and her unborn child need. This is a quick read and action packed with a great love story mixed within it all.

Yes!!!!!!! My year has been made!! Now if you have read Christmas Outburst, you will be familiar with Reef. Reef is the VP of Razing Muck MC, Zale’s right hand man.
This is his story, since texting Nixie’s daughter, his protective instincts have hit an all time high. And he gives zero fucks about it. When they finally meet the chemistry is unquestionable. My heart melted instantly!
But has trouble followed Maeve to her safe haven? Oh. My. Days! My nerves were shot to pieces as I shouted at my kindle quite a few times! You will know what I mean when you read this!! Gah!!!
This seamless writing duo have done it again!! A massive five stars!!

The New Year Outburst is a great story, the plot was strong, it's packed with a little of everything, the characters are fierce, strong pairs and pack. Reef and Maeve were well matched, they were good for one another, they completed each other in every way, they were great together, the chemistry and connections was strong, steamy. This is a great story, I'd suggest reading it. Esther E. Schmidt/Addy Archer did a wonderful job on it, I enjoyed it.
Thank you, Esther E. Schmidt/Addy Archer. Wonderful work :)

The New Year Outburst gives us Maeve and Reef's story, one of friendship and developing into so much more. Maeve had a strength to her that was to be admired and she was also sassy just like her mum. Reef was an alpha through and through but I loved that he did not push Maeve for anything more even though he knew his future was with her and the baby. The story was packed with suspense, drama, chaos and passion. A story about not only family by blood but found family.

The New Year Outburst is book 2 and Reef & Maeve’s story. Reef is the VP of the club and started a friendship with Maeve when her mother and his President got together. When she walks on her boyfriend and best friend together she packs up and heads to her mothers. When she gets there the first person she meets is Reef and there is an instant chemistry and he feels very protective of her. They quickly move from a friendship to something so much more.

I was looking forward to this book after the first book where we meet Maeve and Reef. Reef is the VP and Maeve is the presidents Ol Ladies daughter. Friends to lovers story, two people who match and deserve happiness but with all the commotion we love from Addy Archer and Esther E Schmidt. Fantastic read I do hope Leon gets his own story too.

Reef & Maeve

I loved everything about this book. I loved how Reef and Maeve began texting and becoming friends, to lovers, to getting their happily ever after. Their story is filled with laughter, steam, love, loyalty, drama, suspense, action and family that they not be blood, but whom you choose and they choose you.

[Shannon Godwin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this book. It will keep you wrapped up from the first page with suspense. Reef will definitely make you fall for him. Love how protective he is. If you love strong women and alpha men you’ll definitely enjoy this book. A great ending also.

We are back with another incredible book from Esther Schmidt and Addy Archer. If you haven't read Christmas Outburst, go read that first. New Year Outburst picks up where Christmas Outburst left off but with Maeve and Reef. This book was an amazing read and I can't wait to see what's next.
