There’s no way to sugarcoat it. I kill, maim, and hurt, and make no apologies.
I also take what I want. And the moment I saw her, with that body built for sex, I wanted her in my bed. I thought it would be a fling; just one wild night. But something about her keeps calling me.
Most women melt in my arms like butter, but she stands strong. I can’t break her, which only makes me want her more. She's not safe with me, but I can't let her go.
I won't let her go.
CASSIE
I should never have let him inside my house, or let his hands caress my body. I should have walked away when I had the chance. Instead, I let him take all of me. And I liked it.
I can't stop thinking about him.
He seduced me with his life of excitement, and now I’m addicted to the way he makes me feel. He isn't like the other men I've had in my life. There's something dark within him and I can't stop myself from looking deep inside.
I never thought I’d be running from the law with a gun tight against my thigh and chilled leather beneath my hands. But once you’ve killed a man, there’s no turning back.
Note: This 108,000 word gritty MC Romance novel contains a possessive alpha male whose ride is as dangerous as he is. It contains the complete Ruin Outlaws Series; BOMB, SPARK, IRON, BURN, and FLAME.
Did this author know ANYTHING about MC's? How are 5 guys, no prospects, no other brothers, no old ladies or even club whores considered an MC? Even the club names were lame as hell. Six-Shooter? Petrol? Seriously? This was hands down the WORST MC book I have ever read.
I first rated this book at 3/5 stars. The thing with that rating is normally I want to read those books again but this one I really don’t. So maybe 2/5 is better, I enjoyed it while I was reading it but not it just seems sort of bland and frustrating.
The book starts with Cassie basically hating her life and is depressed. Until one day she makes eye contact with a biker and her world starts turning again. I wish I could say that’s a lie but is really what happened. The next day she sees a biker who she thinks is her biker. As she is chasing him through traffic she hits another biker from the same MC. It wasn’t her man but he shows up seconds after she calls the police and basically says that she is stupid for doing that and asks her what she is going to tell the cops. He was implying that what was going down and what happened shouldn’t really be repeated.
Why does she need to “lie” to the cops? She was the one who hit him, he wasn’t doing anything wrong, so even if he had been doing something illegal that day there wouldn’t have been a need to lie to the cops because they would have questioned the HITTER not the HITTEE. Plus cutting off his cut is basically a sure fire way to let people know you are doing something not on the up-and-up.
Logan, her biker, takes her driver license to make sure that she kept her word and didn’t tell the cops anything. When he goes to check in with her the sexual tension is alive and well in her household. She wants him, he wants her, her roommate is a big ole giant cockblock. BUT what Logan didn’t tell Cassie is that his MC would want retribution on her… which I don’t really get, I mean it was an accident she didn’t target him or anything like that so there shouldn’t have been a need for everyone to get all upset about everything; Which they do. Because he didn’t tell anyone he had her information she became a secret he was willing to kill for. He figures she’s worth it because there’s something different about her; she’s not like the other girls. She doesn’t fall all over him or is scared him. I call bullpucky on that, she is smitten with him, lusts after him and is quite scared of him AFTER she realizes he’s an actual biker not just a wannabe.
Anyhoo, I am actually sort of cranky at this book. There was so much potential and could have been better if the smallest details were changed, i.e. not an accident that put her on their shit list. I mean I did enjoy it as I was reading it, but I was “in” the story. Even then it wasn’t really clear to me but I figured it would be explained. And just so everyone knows there was a lot more to the story this is basically the first five chapters before the real spoilers start, it’s just that everything that happens in this book comes back to the fact the she’s his secret.
Wonderfully well written and exciting story. Highly recommend! Bomb 5 Star Exciting, Riveting and a ticking time Bomb Makes me think back to when I was younger and bolder and would I have been so bold to do what Cassie does? She has courage and yet inside she’s not sure. He’s sexy and an outlaw but he’s still a man. They do say opposites attract and when these two do its combustible. This book leaves you wanting more of the two of them and yet will there be? Book 1 in a new series and its smoking. Well written and enjoyable to read.
Spark 5 Stars The trials of a new MC President and young recruits With Logan playing acting president (and it may become permanent) he find how hard it is to get these young untried guy to act like the brothers they should be. And what about Cassie? He still hasn’t told anyone about her but someone finds out. Can she handle Logan, can anyone? The story progresses where if left off from the first book. The plot thickens with betrayal, sex and mystery. Well written and enjoyable to read. Quick read making you just want more.
Iron 5 Star When S**t hits the fan, who will be left standing by you? Another well written and enjoyable book to the series by Amy Isan. Action packed and very entertaining to read. Things are heating up in this installment and when the S**t hits the fan you start to see who is really there for you. Questions start to rise as to whom you can real trust. And the heat between Logan and Cassie keeps getting hotter. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series.
Flame 5 Stars Super hot in more ways than one Fourth installment in the Ruin Outlaw MC series, and a hot one at that. Well written and very enjoyable to read. Logan and Cassie can’t seem to stay out of trouble in this book. Things don’t go as planned in anything they try to do. A few new things are learned but are they believable? Is Cassie turning hard or is Logan turning soft or is it something in-between for them both? Looking forward to find out what happens next in the fifth book. Action packed and kept my interest throughout the book.
BURN 5 Stars Great ending or is it the beginning of a new life I love how this story and series comes together in the end. Action packed and surprises along the way. Well written and very enjoyable to read. And what happens with the two crews in the end is just awesome. And I really enjoyed the end, or is it the beginning of their lives.
The first thing to irritate me was the sentence structure. Normally I don't criticize this kind of thing or tense issues, punctuation, etc..., if a book has my attention and the story is flowing, I can read right over those things, not the case with this one. The sentences were very simplistic and I got sick to death of each one starting with "I"!
That being said, the plot just dragged for me. The heroine is a 26 year old dog washer, chronically late to work, with an equally air headed roommate. As for our hero, he has recently "joined" this MC in Arizona after "barely escaping going to jail with the rest of his MC, Los Devils, in California". I've never heard of anyone who just walks away from membership in an MC. You can petition to transfer chapters but not just walk away and join a different group altogether!Another "former" Los Devils member is the president of this MC but the rest are wannabes, weekend riders and guys who still act like teenagers. There is no club loyalty or cohesiveness...they read like a gang of misfits who happened to like bikes and sort of stumbled onto each other. SPOILER ALERT-the president ends up hospitalized after a wreck with the h. The H steps in and takes control because the VP isn't capable (which the VP states to the H) and the most disruptive and unstable guy in the bunch has decided he'll take charge even though he's not even an officer! And how does our H bond these kids? He takes them on a ride to a filthy warehouse where they do a blood bonding ceremony, cutting their palms and shaking each other's bleeding hands over an oil drum and then on another night they force their way into several bars to terrorize and the people and trash places in order to build themselves up to handle a new drug running gig the old president had set up before he got hurt.
I apologize if this is overly harsh but I was very disappointed after seeing so many great reviews for this book. Everyone has their own taste but I cannot recommend this as an MC romance.
I was gifted FLARE from the author for an honest review. This is a great book. A roller coaster ride of adventure, power and carnal lust. The world Amy creates is full of wild motorcycle crews, rogue alpha males and one woman who is tossed in the mix. Cassie doesn't live she exits, her job as a glorified dog washer is filled with animosity because of her habitual tardiness. Her boss doesn't mind singling her out and pointing out her faults. One particular morning, driving into work(and she is already late)she locks eyes wit a gorgeous and dangerous biker. His gaze shakes her to the core and consumes her mind and dreams. On her way to work the next day, Cassie tries desperately to see if the biker she see is the same guy, inadvertently hitting a biker. Once the cut is pulled off the downed biker, full attention lands on Cassie. Who comes over to her....THE BIKER from her dreams. Bomb(Logan)helps himself to her identification and leaves. Now that he has this information he will have to share it with his crew, so you would think. The boundaries of loyalty are tested when Logan finds himself compelled to keep secrets about Cassie from his club. The club's prez, Surge, was the man hit in the accident and Logan is told to take over duties until he is released. Things are at play that Logan doesn't know about, but when it hits is not only endangers his life but Cassie's too. In a course of events that starts driving rifts through their members, finds Logan and Cassie relying more on each other. This is a great book and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Great work Amy!!
Flare (Motorcycle Club Romance) by Amy Isan ** I received an ARC from the Author in exchange for my honest review.** An excellent story from start to finish. It was a really quick read that I enjoyed very much. The primary characters of Cassie and Logan (aka Bomb) are very likable. You can feel the sizzle when Bomb and Cassie are together. You also can't help but feel for Cassie as she struggles with her confusion over her attraction to Logan. The story takes many twists and turns and will leave you on the edge of your seat as you read to discover how things develop between Cassie and Logan. The relationship between Logan and Cassie is getting deeper, stronger and oh so HOT! Cassie and Logan head south of the border to evade rival MC the Skeletons. The closer Logan gets to Cassie the more he starts to distrust and doubt the loyalty of his brother MC members including Club President Surge. Logan is quickly finding that Cassie affects him in a way no women ever has. Cassie knows she needs Logan to feel safe, secure and much, much more. The story continues to be intense, full of action, danger, and flaming hot sex. As Logan and Cassie fight off their enemies, they continue to grow individually and as a couple. Logan's doubts about Surge's loyalty continue to grow. The final sex scene was wonderful, steaming hot yet so full of love. Truly an outstanding read!
Flare was quite the ride. Logan is a member of the Ruin Outlaws MC and he can’t get out of his head a beautiful woman that he sees in traffic. When he ends up running into her again, he knows that he can’t just leave her be. Cassie is just trying to get by, working a job for a person that she doesn’t really like, driving a commute that is exhausting.
When circumstances bring Logan, known as Bomb to his MC brothers, together with Cassie, they end up for a very long and whirlwind time. Logan ends up having to protect Cassie from the MC gritty world but instead basically initiates her to it. As the bond forms between Logan and Cassie, they both break from the rules that they live by. Logan chooses Cassie over the MC rules and begins to question what is going on in his world. Cassie becomes more immersed in Logan’s world.
They are on the run from the bad guys, but should they be more concerned with the MCs? This book was a gritty, grimy, and way out of what I would have been comfortable with if I were Cassie. You could feel the drama throughout that was Logan and Cassie. There are drugs, blood, running from the law, making new friends and bonds, and all that you would expect from a true MC book. Flare won’t burn you out.
I had the privilege of reading an ARC in return for an honest review…
“Flare” freaking rocks….I absolutely fell in love with Cassie and Logan. The author did an amazing job with keeping you on the edge and delivering one hell of a story. Reading their journey was like watching a Bonnie & Clyde style movie which had my damn heart jumping out of my chest wondering what would happen next. As soon as you think you know what is going to happen you are thrown for a loop and I loved every minute of it. I loved that Cassie didn’t turn into a whiney b@#tch when the crap hit the fans and she held her own against a rival MC and Mexico’s drug cartel. And then there is Logan (aka Bomb) – he is going to melt your panties off with his sexy, filthy biker mouth. “Flare” provides it all…..HOT SEX, head strong Heroine and one freaking fabulous biker…
I look forward to more of Amy Isan’s work and am hoping for more of the boys from the Ruin MC.
This is the story of Cassie and Logan. She is a dog groomer and he is part of an outlaw motorcycle club. Cassie hit the club’s president with her car and Logan tries to protect her. From then on we begin to know the characters and their motivations. At first the story is kind of slow but then as we get further information and other motorcycle crews got in the story develops an interesting plot with action, sex, drugs, betrayal, secrets and death. There are important second characters that add to the action and violence. Cassie and Logan had a good chemistry and are good together. In summary, it was a good story with a credible plot, good characters and I enjoyed it very much. I received the ARC for an honest review.
I originally read all installments separately and completely enjoyed every minute. I really like that all of them are now made into one. Cass and Bomb are such a great couple. Their relationship builds quickly but the stress they encounter is unreal. Cass first comes off as a weakling but by the end she is strong, passionate, and one heck of partner. I like that she doesn't complain and that she pulls strength from Bomb. Bomb is a man who believes in brotherhood. His relationship with his crew is strained by an unknown source but when he puts the puzzle pieces into place everything happens quickly and efficiently. I like the action, the passion and the overall vibe of the book. This is the first MC book for me but it won't be the last. Great read.
Given book for honest review. I don't usually read biker books, but I read the whole story and enjoyed the book. I try not to be judgmental with the characters in my books, but my mind had a hard time accepting some of the behaviors of Flare's people. It was shocking to my mind set to have so many gray areas and having Cassie change so much in one book. Cassie's world is about to change but will it be better? It starts with being stuck in traffic and watching a biker weave in and out of traffic which allows him to not be stuck in traffic. As he passes Cassie, she gives him an evil look while he looked at her. She hates her boss and it is mutual. Of course, it didn't help when she was late for work, again. Cassie will meet the biker again.
Great book! Cassie hates her job and her boss. One night on the way home from work, stuck in traffic, a biker rides by and looks directly at her. She can't forget his gorgeous blue eyes. A few days later she sees the biker and races to catch up with him in her car. She hits the biker with her car, and her life will never be the same. Because of the accident with the biker, her life is in danger. No one but two clubs want her dead. Logan is the biker she saw when stuck in traffic, and the two of them feel an attraction they can't seem to resist. Logan saves Cassie's life, and to keep her safe takes her to Mexico, but their lives are still in jeopardy. Murder and mayhem and hot sex. You have to read to appreciate this book and the adventures of Cassie and Logan.
I Loved this book! Cass is someone most can relate to she just does her.Thing day after day going to work waiting in traffic biting her lip when her boss yells at her for little things etc but then she has a glimpse that'll change her life completely! Logan a bad boy type motorcycle rider she couldn't get out of her head! She has a run in with him an his gang members an after that she sees a whole different life from guns blazing breakins and death not to mentioned hot sex! They are completely opposite but are perfect together. Its an absolute must read action packed non stop motorcycle romance!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review, and boy you will be surprised with this one. So much is happening you are wondering how the frick she got into this mess and then you wonder will she or does she want to. I never saw where this book was going to go, it seemed these two were gonna ruin it for each other but in the end they get through it all and come out better than they went in. I loved the twists and turns but it is a dark romance for sure, but you will be sucked in for sure. You will want to know what happens, so if you can buy this book with the whole series, definitely do that so you dont miss a single moment.
I received this as a ARC for a honest review. Let me just say thank u for the honor. It was great. I could so re-read this again and smile every time. Logan AKA Bomb is hard and a real man. Cassie is loving but learns fast the tough life. She is bad a*s. She is seeing life in a hole new way. Will she like this life or go back to her old ways. Will Bomb be able to help her and keep his brother's on his side.
Im looking forward to reading whats next. And also godda catch up. Hahaha, that will definitely happen soon. #AMustRead. Loved loved this book
First I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and they way they flowed with the storyline. I liked that Cassie got some confidence and some backbone. I hated that she seems weak and submissive. Logan is a loner character and I'm glad he moved on from that since meeting Cassie. I could see that he was something more but he numbed himself. I really enjoyed the side characters and that they were colorful and not fluff. I hated the ending it bugs me that the author just ended it.
I received a copy of this book from GoodReads in exchange for an honest review. I thought the book was OK. I never really connected with the characters. I didn't know why they like each other, why they stayed together and furthermore I didn't really care. A bit more care could have been taken with transferring this book to print. There were several pages that were not chapter breaks where the text ended halfway down the page.
Diffidently a great story, from start to the end this never got boring or dull but did grab my attention and didnt let go. We will see a bid transformation in both Cassie from being a sorta a push over to a ball busting woman and Logan being cold hearted to getting id act together and think before acting. Logan and Cassie complement each other in many ways and never hating on another over stupid stuff.
This was my first motorcycle club book I didn't think I would like books like this but I did,
Two people that is totally opposite of each other And the eventually fall in love with each during danger and someone trying to kill that he loves
He keeps her a secret from the other members of the cub because she almost took out their leader but he just couldn't stay away, And now that someone knows that he is involved with her he tries to keep her safe
This is a great story from the very first page to the last one. Cassie and Logan/Bomb will keep you guessing as to what will happen next. And most of the time it is not what you were thinking. I fell in love with Logan from the beginning and still loved him at the end. If you love a great MC story then you should grab this one, it is perfect. So pick this one up and enjoy it. I loved it.
I thought the book went straight into the story . You met the characters quickly learned their traits and personalities!. The flow from book to book was great and you never felt like you were missing something! The characters were strong the story line was strong and full of mystery and intrigue but easy to follow and well told. I really enjoyed the books and characters.
I've read the whole series. My preference would have been to read them all one right after another. Not a huge fan of serial books with cliff hangers. However, with Amy's first one , I love love LOVED IT!! kicked ass big time!! Then I read 2,3,4 and I TRULY fell in love with the two major ppl. It proved me wrong. To a point. What I realized was I liked those characters and that story line.
I read each of these books separately so it is great that they are available as 1 set. cassie and Logans story pulled me in from the beginning. Of course I didnt like Logan/Bomb at the start but by the end he truly turned my opinion around. Great story and excellent characters. Must read
