Carolina Bad Boys #3
Steele: Into Your Heart
Brodie Steele is a badass MC dude. Ashe Kingston is a sexy police officer with an attitude. Their bad blood runs deep. But after they hook up at a wild biker week, can they keep their pact? What happens at Bike Week stays at Bike Week. Yeah, right.
Riding out the rough years following a family tragedy, Brodie is still trying to put his life back together when he finds something he never expected with Ashe. She annoys the ever lovin’ hell out of him, and turns him on so much he can’t see straight. He keeps coming back for more.
Ashe isn’t just a hard-nosed police officer. And she wants no part of Brodie outside of their no-strings-attached fling. There’s no way he’s settling-down material but he’s hard to resist with his inked sleeves and rebellious ways, not to mention piercings in places that make Ashe melt. Brodie Steele is dangerous, delicious, and suddenly determined to have her.
If there’s anything more risky than laying his heart on the line for this sexy woman, it’s Ashe’s job. It puts her life in danger in a way he can’t possibly protect her from. Can their hot bond win out over the bad blood of years past? Or will Ashe be taken from Brodie before she lets him into her heart?

Firstly, let me say, that I never knew Rie Warren could write such erotic stories. The sex scenes and allusion to the scenes were superior to other well known erotica titles.
The story of Ashe and Brodie started a long time ago when he blamed her for the devastating events in his life. Ashe was responsible for arresting his sister, which became the catalyst for his parents deaths. Brodie has harboured a deep rooted hatred towards Officer Ashe Kingston.
Slowly recovering for his shattered past, Brodie is looking forward to Bike week. At Bike Week, all Brodie is interested in is a good time, bikes and babes. What he finds on the dance floor, is a flirty and sexy as sin divine looking woman. Who captures his attention with her sinuous moves. What he didn't expect was for that same babe, to be non other than Officer Ashe Kingston. His sworn enemy. A woman who has caused him so much pain and who knows all his family history.
When Ashe offers to have this one week with Brodie, he shuts Ashe's offer down. But, she isn't one to be taken lightly. She makes sure to put him in his place.
"I may be a cop, Brodie, but I'm still a woman."
This starts off their week long affair. At the end of Bike week they both go their separate ways.
Both are now back to normal life, Ashe busy working her area and Brodie as the VP of the Retribution MC. Brodie can't get the scintillating goddess that is Officer Ashe Kingston out of his mind and his body. As weeks go by, they both yearn for the other, until Ashe finally breaks the deal, and comes looking for Brodie.
They once again start their passionate affair again. This time, Brodie isn't walking away. He lays down the law for Ashe. He's willing to see where this 'relationship' can go. Ashe on the other hand, has secrets that she is hiding that can affect Brodie's decision and she isn't willing to sacrifice herself or her secrets to find out. The doesn't want any more disappointments in her own life. Along with the guilt of Brodie's parents deaths. Ashe must now decide what she wants and how she will go about getting it.
This was an intense and highly erotic novel, that had me on the edge of my seat. I kept awaiting hot and more steamy scenes, along with all the hottness that is Brodie. Oh gosh! that man. He knew how to tango. His seductive whispers, tantalizing touches and his rough persona that made him the most exceptional badass, alpha male biker yet. Ashe was touch as nails and she was the perfect steely match for Brodie Steele.
Rie Warren created a masterpiece with this third instalment and I can't wait for Boomer's story. It'll be epic!

I FLOVE Rie Warren. She's the queen of badboy-with-a-good-heart-massive-schlong-and-wicked-sense-of-humor books, and Steele: Into Your Heart just gave me even more reason to want to hump her leg, should we ever meet. And while that may not be cool to admit out loud, I am not ashamed of it. Nuh uh, she's earned that humpin'.
After years of recovery from a shattering family tragedy, Brodie Steele is back -- in the game, on the bike and ready to enjoy the f--k out of Bike Week. But when the woman that makes his jeans turn uncomfortably tight turns out to be none other than Officer Ashe Kingston -- a woman he's had the other kind of hard-on for -- he's in a bind.
It's only supposed to be for a week. A Bike Week fling, forgotten when they get home. But Ashe turns out to be unforgettable and moving on isn't so easy. Not when her dangerous job keeps him on edge, her hot mouth makes him weak and her strength and sass have him thinking the unthinkable....a future.
Ashe wants no part in his plans for something more. She has a life, a career and her own responsibilities. But Brodie Steele is determined to find a way into her life, into her bed and into her heart...
OH. MY. F--KING. GOD. This book right here? This book was AMAZING. Funny? Check! Emotional? *sob* Check! Heart-racing? Check! Sexy-as-all-hell? Hell f--king yes, CHECK!!! I loved it. Love, love, love, love, LOVED it and I don't care who knows that my love affair with Rie's leg will continue long after this book and this series is done and dusted.
I was halfway in love with Brodie Steele before I even cracked open this book, and each page just made me want him even more. He was all kinds of awesome; from his love for his family, his club and his business, to his epic piercings and tattoos, Brodie was the kind of man you want to dirty you up and then take home to meet the folks.
And Ashe. Yeah, okay, on occasion I wanted to knock some sense into her (it's f--king BRODIE, Ashe!) but she was so strong, so clever, so sassy and sexy and fun, I'd have sooner hugged her than hit her. She owned Brodie, and damn, she kinda owned me too.
Steele: Into Your Heart came with a healthy side dose of emotional upheaval, as well as some excellent, funny and sweet cameos from the other Carolina Bad Boys, Josh Stone and Nicky Love, and their lovely ladies. And, of course, some interesting new developments on Boomer, whose book is next in this series and will, I have no doubt, earn Rie's leg some more action. Oh, and did I mention that some of the Retribution MC boys make their debuts here? No? Just another reason to love this book and this author. ~ Beth, 5 stars

God, could the title of this book be more appropriate? Rie Warren has totally stolen into my heart—I LOVE her and her brilliant, funny, sexy books and the hot, dirty-talking main characters. Brodie Steele is no exception. We met Brodie in Love: In the Fast Lane. Brodie is one of Cat’s big, gorgeous, protective older brothers.
Brodie Steele is on his way to meet friends at Bike Week. What happens in Bike Week is supposed to stay in Bike Week. That is, until the beauty with the body to die for, swaying on the dance floor, catches Brodie’s attention and doesn’t give it back to him. Brodie is screwed once he realizes his “wet dream” is none other than the woman he supposedly hates—Officer Ashe Kingston.
Ashe Kingston. Strong. Strong willed. Strong willed and independent. Strong willed, independent and stubborn. She’s not buying what Brodie’s trying to sell her. She’s not looking for more. She’s looking for right now. And right now, she’s wanting Brodie, naked, hard and ready to rock her world.
Damn, I love these two. Their interactions are funny, sexy, smart, snarky, dirty, and so smoking hot I needed a moment or two with my husband after reading. Several times I wanted to pull them both aside to have a side bar conversation while reading. Brodie for his intensity and knowing that what he WANTED to happen didn’t matter unless Ashe was all in with him. And Ashe because, I mean hello, it’s Brodie—how are you going to resist that man and his lure for the long term? Still, I loved them and their story and how Rie wove in the rest of the crazy cast of characters from this series. I want more—Rie get writing! ~ Missy, 5 stars

Are you read to Laugh? Cry? Get over-heated? Expect to do that and more when you read Brodie and Ashe's story in Steele: Into Your Heart!
If you're wondering how over-heated you're going to get all you have to do is look at that completely lickable cover! *DROOLS* Brodie. Muscles, motorcycles, tats, piercings...he is complete moan worthy! Note on the piercings, I looked it up and HOT DAMN! what I would give to see and experience that in person. Ashe is one lucky woman. She's also one tough chick! Her and Brodie, actually the whole Steele family, have history that's fairly tough to get over especially when emotions run hot. They have their issues to work through that at times had me laughing others had me wincing.The dialog between Ashe and Brodie is quick, snappy and hot. And speaking of hot...YOWZA! Things certainly sizzle here.
Hot sex and bikes aren't the only thing going on. The whole gang, including the Hens, are back for moments that prove Ms. Warren is a genius storyteller. YES! I love when past characters come back and not just as a walk through. They all play a important part with Brodie and Ashe. A few new fun and lovable (as well as heck yeah sexy!) ones are introduced as we get to know Brodie's MC. I really look forward to see more of them in future books.
Tears of laughter and tears of sorrow abound in this book with lots of unexpected surprises that kept me up all night reading. I just love how the whole book was put together from the characters, to the storylines. I don't think I'll ever tire of reading anything Rie Warren. This is a MUST READ series. If you're not reading Carolina Bad Boys series then you are very much missing out. Walk, don't run and start reading them today.

~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads Review Team~
This is the third book in the series, you could probably read as a standalone but you get back story if you read the other books first. Brodie Steele is a hot alpha, he runs his own business with is family and is also head of his MC. Ashe Kingston is police officer and there is a past with bad blood. When they both meet up at bike week they decide to get each other out of their systems that week. HA! Right! They both thought they could do the no strings attached for a week and then move on. They were so wrong. When they get back home they both have to decide if they can go their separate ways or if they can try to make a relationship work. Ashe wants no strings and she has her reasons, reasons Brodie doesn’t know. Brodie thinks he might actually want strings attached. You have to read their story to see how it all unfolds. We see characters from previous books and once again we laugh, we cry, we ache and we hope and pray for a happily ever after. This was another great book in the series and I am looking forward to the next installment.
Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: oh yeah
Religious: no
Would I recommend to others: yes
More than one book in the series: yes
Genre: Romance
Would I read more by this author: yes

What happens at Bike Week, stays at Bike Week? Yeah, right.
At least that is what Presidents of Retribution VP, Brodie Steele and Police Officer, Ashe Kingston are planning on, They've hated each other for years due to some past issues, but have also skirted an unwanted attraction.
And they just can't resist it once they find themselves together in the perfect atmosphere that just magnifies their attraction. Their banter is both angry, teasing, and flirty. They get under each other's skin. Their chemistry is combustible and raw.
In the space of three hours, I'd gone from wanting to kill her to needing to f*** her fast and hard, preferably all night long.
"So the rumors are true...You talk like a Barbarian and F*** like a rock star."
They have one perfectly torrid week of cycles, sex, and time alone away from obligations. But back in the real world, their lives don't always mesh. They have responsibilities and some conflicts. Ashe especially thinks they need to keep their distance and keeps pushing Brodie away. She thinks No Strings Attached hook ups between them are all she is willing to give. But he is realizing he wants more than that. But she has her reasons and trust issues and keeps stringing him a long never really giving him a fighting chance to prove himself.
...it felt like my entire f****** philosophy about f****** had been turned upside down and inside out, I didn't want fast. I didn't want anonymous. I didn't want a crowd of babes in my bed. And I didn't want easy. At least that much was self-evident since I still had the mega-hots for the least easy, most complicated woman I'd ever met.
But this bad boy is not giving up. And Ashe may be tough, but she's also a woman with heart. They deal with daily life, investigations, club business, and danger. Nothing is easy or calm in the life of an officer and a biker. But along the way there are lots of sexy times mixed in with some bonding situations. They have hot chemistry, but also a connection that cannot be denied.
Somewhere around this time I fell for Brodie Steele. He was so much more than he appeared in previous books are early in this one. In the beginning, he was pretty rough, raw, and blunt. But the more we got to know him and got to see his big heart and capacity for love, the more appealing he became. He was a smart, sexy business man and a biker. He was a bossy, direct, and protective. He loved hard and would do anything to help others.
Ashe had a lot of reservations, fears and secrets. Her career was challenging and dangerous. She had a lot to handle, but was also strong and independent. But Brodie was insistent upon tearing her walls down and he was hard to resist.
I really came to like them together. There was a lot going with her job and in his club adding more drama and suspense to their story. It was hard watching them go through some of the challenges and tense situations. I got more and more invested as their story went on and the stakes became higher.
This one was steamy, funny, tense, dramatic, suspenseful, and at times even sweet and emotional. But it still had the quirky humor and straightforward unfiltered male point of view like in the other books. Brodie definitely had his own voice and he was multi-faceted. But he was a true good guy with some delicious bad boy tendencies and sex appeal.
All of the couples from the previous books were back--Josh and LeeLee and Cat and Nick. We got a peek at Brodie's brother Boomer and new blue haired hottie mechanic, Rayce who will be the subject of the next book Chrome: With a Heart Forged in Steele. And met some MC guys from the spin of Retribution MC spin off series. Hunter and Coletrane were stand outs.

My Review:
Brodie Steele is a typical Rie Warren hero. He's really, really rough around the edges, but that tough, take no prisoners facade hides a heart of gold when he gives his heart to a woman.
In this book that woman is Ashe Kingston, the cop who arrested his sister for drug use a few years back. An event that caused the death of his parents when they were on their way to get her. He's never quite forgiven her, but when he comes across her during bike week, he can't resist her. She's sexy, she rides a rocking motorcycle, and she carries a gun on a daily basis.
I'll admit, every time I start one of these books, I'm sure the hero is going to get on my last nerve, but by the mid-way point, I'm sold and totally in love with them. Rie Warren has the magic touch when it comes to heroes that I just don't want to like. She always makes me fall in love with them. I really loved Ashe too, although since the book is told entirely from Brodie's pov, the reader didn't get to know her as well. I think that I really could have enjoyed some scenes from her because she is one tough chick.
I love that she's a cop and he's the VP of a motorcycle club that his brother started. There's a bit of a suspense story line that ties into all that and I loved every bit of that aspect of the story. Done to perfection!
This book also set up a new series for Rie featuring the Redemption motorcycle club. First up is Hunter and I cannot wait for his story and I'm excited that Cole has a book in that series too. I loved the glimpses of these two guys that we saw in this book.
This is an erotic novel and as such, there is a LOT of sex. A lot of it. Rarely is that an issue for me, but in this one, I got to where I skimmed those scenes. Seriously, there were like 25-30 sex scenes. I get it...they're hot for one another. Just a bit too much for me. ;) But I know some of you will be like...hell yeah, this is the book for me. LOL.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Brodie Steele is a typical Rie Warren hero. He's really, really rough around the edges, but that tough, take no prisoners facade hides a heart of gold when he gives his heart to a woman.

There is just so much to love about this book. Rie has a talent for not only telling the story from a unique perspective but for telling a story that makes you want to celebrate the happily ever after her characters get. And they always do. In fact, she has several scenes with happy endings in her books (hey it is erotical) but the scenes are masterfully done, not only involving the reader physically, but emotionally too. Brodie isn't my usual kind of hero, but as I was reading the story, I found myself wishing he could love me. Maybe it's his rough edgy exterior. Or it could be his playful addiction to Candy Crush. It doesn't matter. Rie gave her characters flaws, sometime even damaged, but that makes them human. And lovable. She evolves bad boy Brodie Steele into a badass dad to Ashe Kingston's daughter, and the love of Ashe Kingston's life. She took a surprising twist at the end and made me a fan for life. I can highly recommend this title and all the other titles in the series. I seriously can not wait until the next installment of Carolina Bad Boys.

Thanks Wicked Reads for a free book to read and review.
This book was an unexpected delight! My first by this author and I loved it! Not only does the book have bad ass biker situations but it also has a sweet love story. The first few opening chapters starts at Bike Week in Myrtle Beach Sc which is sweet because I'm there. It's not bike week yet here though just spring break. Plus Suck Bang Blow is a bar here which I found intriguing. So Brodie Steele is in Myrtle for bike week and charity. There he finds Ashe who despite having bad blood between them, she offers him bike week with no questions. He accepts. Only problem is at the end, they both want more. This was my first book of the series but it was well written and it kind of sucks you in. It is part of a series but it can be read as a stand alone. Overall entertainment is five stars. Great MC book!

I loved these characters. Their story was so heart warming and HOT. With out giving too much away, you HAVE to read the book and find out will this tough as nails "softy" melt and start a new life with the woman he can't get enough of? And then throw in her adorable and hard to not love daughter. You must read to find out. This is the first book in the series I've read, I think for the full affect of understanding ALL the characters mentioned, you need to start with book 1, but I still love these characters.

Rie Warren has a knack for making the reader feel at home. Every member of her "supporting cast" is as richly drawn as the leads. This is especially true in the third volume of her Carolina Bad Boys. All our old friends are back. You won't just read their story--you will wish you could live it.

**JOSIE'S REVIEW**
I have had the pleasure of reading the first two books in this series, and I fell in love with these boys and the author. The author writes these male characters in a way where you can’t help but fall in love with them. Their stories are deep, funny and engaging. I wanted to know about Brodie since I first started this series. He captured my heart and I was so excited to get my hands on his book. Steel Into Your Heart is told in Brodie’s POV and let me tell you something, the author is spot on with his words, his thoughts and his attitude. I am going on the record in stating Brodie Steele is the best one yet. He is the VP of a MC, he is bad ass, sweet, caring and has such a dirty mouth. He’s all alpha male. What’s not to like right? Steel Into Your Heart starts off at Bike Week and hold on readers because what happens at bike week does not necessarily stay at Bike Week.
“What in the hell are you doing here?”
“Bike Week, Brodie. Just like you. If you don’t mind, I’ll get back to it.”
Brodie and Ashe have some bad history. Their feud runs just as deep just as the bad blood between them but all that is not enough to stop the heavy chemistry between the pair. Brodie and Ashe cross paths at Bike Week and both agree to just one week. Whatever happens there stays there and after the end of the week they both go their separate ways. Sounds easy right? WRONG!!!
“What happens at Bike Week, stays at Bike Week. Just you and me, for one week only. When we get back to Mount Pleasant – no contract, no phone calls, no issues.”
“It’s a deal. You. Me. Bike. Week only.”
Brodie is trying to get over the loss of his parents in a terrible tragedy years ago. He blames one person for that terrible night, Ashe. When he sees Ashe at Bike Week, he finds himself attracted to her and constantly seeking her out. She angers and frustrates him but the worse part of it is the instant hard on gets when he is near her. Even though he knows its wrong, he agrees to one week with Ashe, but the more time is spends with her the more he wants her. Walking away is harder than he thought it would be.
Ashe is my hero, but she also got on my nerves sometimes. She’s a total Bad ass, a police officer, she rides her own bike and she is a single mother. Ashe’s character is hard to not love. She wants Brodie, but she has had to work so hard for her career. She just made detective and she does not want a relationship. She wants a no strings kind of relationship. Ashe does not see Brodie as the settling kind of guy. His lifestyle does not fit into her career however she has a hard time resisting Brodie’s tattoos, his Prince Albert and his dirty mouth. Ashe knows what she wants and is not afraid to say it. She wants Brodie in her bed and all his bad ways.
“You want to pull my hair, Brodie?”
“Pull it while I Fu*k you on all fours, twist it in my hands as you suck my cock. Somethin’ like that.”
“Fu*k my tits and come, Brodie. Come on me. Come in my mouth.”
I absolutely loved Brodie. It does not take him long to realize he wants more with Ashe but the problem is Ashe. Ashe is conflicted she knows her job is hard to handle and she doesn’t think Brodie can handle her profession. She does not want to risk her heart and that of his daughters. Brodie is more stubborn then she is. The more she pushes, the more he pushes back.
“Yes, Ashe. You let me into your life just enough to keep me hooked not enough to make it permanent in any way whatsoever. I want everything. I want to be in your life, in your house, and in your heart. And if you don’t admit something huge is going on between us besides fu*king and dating, next time I’ll handcuff you to me.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’ve fallen for you. This isn’t going to happen. I know what I do scares you, and that terrifies me. But it worries me, and I know it makes me sound cold, but I can’t…I don’t know if I can fit you into my life and make all the piece work.”
Brodie will risk his heart for the only woman he loves but can Ashe risk her heart? Ashe’s job will put Brodie to the test and put her life in danger. He might not be able to protect her. The author did an amazing job in telling this story. I love how she reversed the roles in these characters. In this story it is the female who is afraid to let someone in and the bad ass male wears his heart on his sleeve. I loved every minute of this story. I really connected with these characters. They both have a past and they had to learn to let their guards down and take a chance. We get to see all the characters from the previous books and see where their lives are. I loved the sneak peek for the next book. Can’t wait for Hunters book, oh yeah baby!!!!

Reviewed for Chicks Controlled By Books *Gifted for an honest review*
5 Belly Flippin’ Stars
“See now? The brain still sparks even if the heart is done.”
She made me cry, yes, yes she did! I’m not used to Rie doing that to me, especially with this series, but I think when you have a series of standalones that you invest your time in you can’t help those feelings for characters getting stronger with each book that you read. I mean Rie is known for her sharp talking, take no crap women and her potty mouthed, hot alpha males so when you find a moment (or two) in one of these books you absolutely cherish it. You can’t not. Despite the way Rie writes these stories there is always a sense of seriousness in the issues that she writes about and the story of Brodie and Ashe is no different.
This book is a little more gritty than the previous two, grittier as in darker. But I guess that comes with the territory when Brodie is an MC VP and Ashe is a police officer. I was expecting edge of my seat stuff and Rie delivered with style. The sparks fly off the pages between this pair and oh my lord you are in for a treat in typical Rie Warren style when it comes to the down and dirty, these two are explosive in the sheets and out! Yes it’s crude in places, hilarious too but with a fastidious storyline that kept me reading and not wanting to stop. Rie Warren writes hard, gritty characters with often unforgiving storylines but always finds a way to pack them full of passion, emotion and love. I needed to pull up for air on so many occasions.
There’s a lot of back and forth between Brodie and Ashe as they try to settle their demons and ride the wave of their attraction, both knowing that a week to get each other out of their system will never be enough. I liked the few surprises that were thrown in for good measure. They weren’t too obvious until I happened upon them. There’s nothing complex in this book that gets your head all twisted and bent out of shape, rather it’s a passionate story with two very strong main characters and a host of secondary ones that so totally make the story. There’s the aforementioned crying incident (not once but twice) and these scenes were written so compassionately it’s extremely hard not to feel those emotions. I most certainly did. The last quarter of the book is really tense, I felt that emotion radiating through the words and it was a bit of a choppy few chapters. Certainly raised the blood pressure for me.
Personally, I think this book has it all. There’s just the right balance with different elements of the story and the emotional rollercoaster she takes you on. There are such special moments between characters and couples that it kind of restores your faith in people. Rie keeps elements of previous books going in this one along with the introduction of a few new characters. I don’t know how many more Carolina Bad Boys there will be but I do know that Rie has decided to do an MC spin off from this book. I’m eagerly awaiting those and the next Carolina book because truly everything this woman writes is just pure magic. If you haven’t read Rie Warren…what are you waiting for?

As with the previous books in this series, it's written entirely from the male lead's POV--so we get the inside of Steele's filthy mind, as well as his filthy mouth. Thing is, it's awesome, because Brodie Steele isn't just a big bad biker--he's a good guy.
He works hard, and loves his siblings and misses his parents and wants a real life with a real woman. He's played the field a good long time, and we can't believe the connection he makes with Officer Ashe Kingston on his Bike Week vacay to Myrtle Beach. No, the tough-as-nails cop who, years ago, arrested his junkie sister (Cat, from LOVE IN THE FAST LANE) cannot be the sexy tiger lily tatted sex nymph with whom he spends five luxurious days and five incendiary nights.
Well, okay, it's the same gal, but he doesn't think about her the same after that. Some people have a Come-To-Jesus moment, Brodie has a Come-With-Ashe week, and it's not okay that she cuts him out the second their tires hit the serene streets of Mt. Pleasant.
Brodie can't handle the separation, but he does, out of respect--but soon the lines get blurred and he and Ashe reconnect, only to have him be on the outs again. People in his motorcycle club think he's a traitor for dating a cop, but all he wants is a real try with Ashe, one she isn't willing to give him...until her daughter walks in.
That's right, Ashe is a single working mother, and she never brings men home. But Cara is a charmer, and she has NO problems with Brodie, or his tats or his motorcycle, because Cara sees how happy Ashe is when Brodie's around. And, Brodie? Absolutely smitten with this 8 year old truth-bomb-dropping soccer phenom.
But, as Ashe and he get closer to the real deal, life gets in the way. Ashe is promoted to Detective, and her first case is investigating Brodie's motorcycle club. Brodie and his brother Boomer--who run the club--are good guys and squeaky clean, but there are brothers in their midst who are not, and it looks like Ashe is a big target for them. Brodie's already lost his parents, losing Ashe isn't even an option.
As always, with these books I'm just along for the ride. Living and loving alongside a stand-up guy who will melt the heart of his chosen one. Brodie is as delicious as they come, from groomed goatee to body art to junk jewelry. He loves with his entire self, and will not turn his back, even to protect his own heart. Ashe is a strong, fierce woman who won't take crap from anyone, except, perhaps, her daughter.
You want a sexy read with a seriously good guy, not a controlling lover? Steele is your man.

The bad boy biker and the by the book good girl cop?
No quite!
Brodie and Ashe have history, not the good kind either. Brodie blames her for a tragic event in his life, whether it's logical or not is up for debate, so he has a strong dislike for officer Ashe Kingston.
Bike week.
A week to let go an enjoy himself.
When he first lays eyes on the beauty on the dance floor he's hooked. She's the one he wants, classy not trashy as he says.
Then she turns around and he comes face to face with the last woman he expected to see. Ashe Kingston.
They agree to one week. After bike week they go their separate ways never to speak of it again.
Once home Ashe avoids Brodie. Brodie on the other hand finds himself unable to let that one week go, for once in his life he wants more and he wants it with Ashe.
They agree to no strings but while Ashe wants to stick to it Brodie wants it all. He's finally found a woman who has wormed her way into more than his pants, Ashe is in his heart.
They both fight for what they think they want and against each other until one breaks, one gives in and both their lives change.
Rie Warren has done it again. Made me fall in love with her bad boy with a heart of gold. I'm addicted to her writing and cannot wait for book 4 and the spinoff series!! I have a feeling Coletrane & Hunter are going to make me drool and fall in love with both of them.

Then she turns around and he comes face to face with the last woman he expected to see. Ashe Kingston.
They agree to one week. After bike week they go their separate ways never to speak of it again.
Once home Ashe avoids Brodie. Brodie on the other hand finds himself unable to let that one week go, for once in his life he wants more and he wants it with Ashe.
They agree to no strings but while Ashe wants to stick to it Brodie wants it all. He's finally found a woman who has wormed her way into more than his pants, Ashe is in his heart.
They both fight for what they think they want and against each other until one breaks, one gives in and both their lives change.
Rie Warren has done it again. Made me fall in love with her bad boy with a heart of gold. I'm addicted to her writing and cannot wait for book 4 and the spinoff series!! I have a feeling Coletrane & Hunter are going to make me drool and fall in love with both of them.

Favorite Quotes:
“I want breakfasts, and fights, and finding out how annoying you can really be.”
“She frowned at me as if I’d grown two heads. The only extra head I’d grown was the one threatening to teepee my jeans.”
“Rayce’s husky laugh could probably give Cialis a run for its money in boner-inducing material.”
My Review:
This book was so steamy and sensual, I believe I may have broken the record for lady boners. This couple sizzled from beginning to end, even when they didn’t want to. Rie Warren has mad story telling skills and serious writing chops. Her character development is so complete, I feel I have known these intriguing and sassy people for years, and actually wish I did. The writing is unfailingly entertaining and fascinating, the banter between the characters is witty and sly. The story line for Steele: Into Your Heart was more emotional and suspenseful than the first two books, as the characters experienced a full range of emotional events with considerable ups and down, gains and losses, grief and joy. I was deeply entrenched in the story from the onset, and felt my heart pound numerous times, and for a variety of different reasons. Rie Warren has a new fan-girl.

The story of Ashe and Brodie.
Brodie is a motorcycle mechanic, and the VP of a MC club.
Ashe is the cop who arrested his sister, and the woman Brodie blames for his parents' deaths.
When Brodie goes to bike week and sees as beautiful woman causing a ruckus on the dance floor by her provocative swaying, he can't help but be mesmerized. When that woman turns out to be straight-laced cop Ashe - he doesn't know what to do with himself.
Can they work the sexual tension out during bike week in Myrtle Beach? Or when they go back home to reality, will they manage to stay away from each other?
I really enjoyed this book, although it tended to be light on storyline in favor of sex depictions. Sex scenes were hot, down and dirty.
I found myself able to predict the 'surprising' plot points, but I did not mind.
I would have liked a bit more story, but felt as though the author did show the characters' growth and feelings. I do feel as though the story could be majorly downsized without losing any story or appeal. As it stands, it should be characterized as erotica.
I'd be happy to read other books in this series!

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads
This is the third book in the series, and as I loved both the previous two, I was not surprised that this was also brilliant reading. I do think you could pick this up as standalone, but it is even richer when you know the back story to some of the other characters. It would be fine to start here, and then when you believe me, go back and read the other two!
Ms Warren has a great talent for writing in this genre, and manages to draw the reader so deep into the story that it is impossible not to gasp, sigh and find one's heart thumping at the pace. It is hot, sexy, fun and frantic. Holding onto that belief that things will get resolved, and that they are meant to be together is all the reader can do as the roller-coaster journey unfolds. I love the settings, the atmosphere created, and the attention to detail in the book - yet it never feels like I am being lectured, it all just comes to life in my mind ... lucky mind!

Brodies life is all about the shop he owns with his brother and sister, the motorcycle club he's VP of, and family. He can get ahm "tail" anytime he wants, but as time goes on what he really wants is someone to share his life with.
Ashe is the cop who ruined the life of his family, but seeing her at biker week, dancing in sexy as sin leather has him rethinking just how much he hates her. She takes crap from no one and can keep up with his appitites better than anyone he has ever met. She says what happens at biker week stays at biker week, but can he convince her there is more there between them or will her fears tear them apart before they even start.
Brodie is cocky, confident, and has more than enough peircings to make any women ment. He is also determined when he wants something, but he also knows when to push and when to wait and for him it definetly pays off.
We get to see more of the characters we've come to know and love from this series as well we have gotten to see new characters whos stories I just can't wait to see told. Great addition to this series and I'm excited to see even more!

I love me an MC read. I love reading about gore and blood and everything in between. This book was hot as hell. Loved Brodie and loved Ashe just as much. There is nothing better than reading about a chick who can handle herself and that is definitely the epitome of what Ashe is. These two mesh very well together and I think I might back up and read the first two in this series despite the fact you don't need to. I might just have another author to follow because Rie is awesome! Loved this book!

Tough & Sweet!! I loved Brodie & Ashe's story. He's VP of his MC Club and she's a cop/detective. They already have a history, but not in a good way. When they see each other at Bike Week sparks fly and they decide to have one hot week together. But they can't stay apart. This story has ups & downs and takes you on a beautiful journey. Rie has a way of catching your heart and making you fall in love with her characters! This is definitely a must read!!

Brodie might look all bad boy. he might be VP of a local.MC. nut he's honest, hard working and mostly clean living. Ashe is a vice cop, a motorcycle riding woman with a small child. sparks and love fly. she gets kidnapped....

Brodie and Ashe' story is my favorite, so far. I really loved this one. Just one warning, bring an icy drink and a fan--this is a HOT one.
Bike week. Hundreds of bikers with few things on their minds. Sex. Charity rides. Sex. Oh, yeah, and don't forget--sex. Brodie had never had a problem in that area. The last person Brodie, MC Veep, would ever do was the cop who had arrested her sister on the worst night of his life. That was the plan but watching her dance in the bar at bike week changed all that. After some banter, they admitted the chemistry raging between them. Bike week. Then back to enemies. The S. Carolina Summer wasn't the hottest part of the next week. Ashe was gorgeous, tough, didn't look like any cop he'd seen, and rode a bad boy bike any of his club would have been proud of. Best of all, she was all in and held nothing back in bed, out of bed, wherever they ended up.
By the end of the week, Brodie wanted to change the rules. He wanted more when they got back home. She didn't. Ticked off, he found none of the usual babes did it for him anymore. When he got stopped by a flashing red light and siren, it was the first time he'd ever been glad to see a traffic cop. Who'd a thought he'd go for the uniform?
After some on again off again bumps in their relationship, both had issues with the other's past, present and some secrets untold, could they make it together? Once they finally decide to try, will a danger stop them permanently?
This is my favorite of the series so far. I love Brodie and his tough man attitude. Getting a peek at the soft edges of his heart, the loyalty, and even patience with Ashe make his bad-boy hotter. Ashe did irritate me with her on-again-off-again games. Yet, she had reasons. Trust was hard to come by. She was a lucky woman Brodie wanted her bad enough to deal.
Another good one from this author. I'm on to Chrome, Brodie's brother's story. Could be he's in as much trouble and Brodie.

I loved this book and bad boy Brodie Steele.
It's Bike Week week in Myrtle Beach Sc and Brodie is there for charity and fun, he's going to make the best of his trip. He spies a smoking hot dancer in a bar, he decides he has to make a play for her, when he looks closer he realizes she's Ashe Kingston, a police officer from back home. They start to talk, the topic becomes hot and arousing, but even though they have bad blood between them, Ashe suggest they have Bike Week with no ties, just between them, then that's it. Brodie agrees. The thing is it's not always that simple, and when they got back, they each started missing the fun they had in Myrtle and wanted more.
A fun story and very sexy. The characters were interesting and it was great how their relationship developed and grew through the book.
A great read!

Steele: Into Your Heart by Rie Warren is the third full-length novel in the Carolina Bad Boys Serties. Every book in the series can be read as astandalone, but I recommend to read the books in order.
This is Brodie and Ashe´s book.
Broderick - Brodie - Steele is the brother of Boomer and Cat. He´s co-owner of Chrome and Steele and Vice President of the Retribution MC.
Ashe Kingston is a police detective and arrested Cat for drug use and Brodie too multiple times. They have a love-hate relationship. They can´t be with and not without each other. He don´t wants to want her. But the heart wants what the hearts want.
Meet old friends and new enemies. I liked the story and the characters and give 4,5 stars. Thank you. Rie Warren.

Cop a Feel
I have given this story a 5 star rating as it has been just as fantastic as the others in this series.
It is outstanding to find an author who writes one phenomenally good book after another.
Love this Carolina Bad Boy series!
The first few pages was a good trip down memory lane for me, as I have been to Myrtle Beach many times in the past, so there was a good connection.
Brodie, is a major hottie in the motorcycle club world, tough, intelligent, a protector of all that is important to him.
Ashe, is a difficult character to adjust to & at times a bit wishy washy, but seems to grow within the story.

I really enjoyed this story and interaction between the characters. I couldn't help but be hooked into the story, wondering how it will play out.
I loved Brodie, he is known for being broody. He works hard at Steele and Chrome company he owns with his family. He also plays harder, and enjoys being the vice president of the club. He can hold a mean grudge, but he also has a big heart.
I loved Ashe, she is funny, sexy and feisty. She holds her own in the man world as a Police officer. She holds some guilt, but I loved how she came into her own throughout this story.
I cannot wait for more.

Funny and Hot!
I really enjoyed this book. It sucked me in and I felt like I knew all the characters (this is the 3rd book in the series) can't wait to read more about all of them. I love the Charleston and Mt Pleasant area so it was great to imagine the places Rie writes about in my mind. It's hard to tell you how great this book is without spoilers. But, if you want some great laughs, hot and sexy couples, pretty strong female characters, and handsome men who are also courteous and love their ladies, this is the book for you!
