Tyres

Royal Bastards MC Memphis Chapter #2

by Claire Shaw

In Memphis, loyalty is everything and blood doesn’t always mean family.



Tyres has spent his whole life riding for the Royal Bastards MC and honoring his father’s name. After Banjo’s death, the club is the only thing keeping him upright… until the one woman he’s always wanted starts slipping through his fingers.



Deb’s was Banjo’s shadow, his caretaker, his peace. She stood by him until the end and now his death has put a target on her back. Her family is convinced Banjo left her money, and they’ll do anything to get their hands on it. Even if it means hurting her.



Tyres has loved Deb’s in silence for years, never crossing a line out of respect for his old man. But Banjo’s gone, the threats are closing in, and Tyres is done holding back. He steps up, claims her protection, and unleashes a fire neither of them is ready for.



As grief turns into desire and danger stalks them through the streets of Memphis, Tyres and Deb’s must decide if love is worth the blood it may cost.



Because in the Royal Bastards MC, once you’re claimed…

you’re protected.

Or avenged.

It's been 3 months since Banjos passed away but for the club it still seems like it just happened. Tyres is having a harder time as is Debs. Banjos was Tyres dad and Debs was Banjos caregiver. Pain like that never goes away. So how do they move forward without him? Well not by choice but shit starts hitting the fan. Banjos had secrets that are coming out. Vengeance, the Queen, and a whole cast of characters decide to attack the Royal Bastards. Not real smart. But the problem this time is the club is not the ones in control. They are the always one step behind. That just pisses them off. When they finally start thinking like Banjos would and are able to put clues together things start to still not go their way. WTH. Debs gets kidnapped. Do they get to her in time? Why is this even happening? Why did Banjos not tell them everything? So many questions and I'm not giving any answers. Just read it. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait for Malice's story but unfortunately I'll have to since it won't be out until next year 😫.

This is the story of Tyres and Debs.  Tyres is Road Captain and Debs was a caretaker to Tyres' father until his death.  After his death, she continues to care for members of the club and the relationship between her and Tyres slowly blossoms.

Someone has a vendetta against the club and are making themselves known while still hiding in the shadows.   Secrets come to light as clues are found but the club always seems to be one step behind.   Will they figure it out?  

This is a suspenseful, dramatic and intriguing story with surprising twists and turns that kept me engaged and wondering what was going to happen next.  I look forward to reading the next in this series.

I was hanging on every word from this book and I loved all the suspense, danger and twists and turns. Tyres and Debs have know each other a long time because Debs is Tyres’ dad’s carer but they are truly brought together when Tyres’ father passes away. The feelings have always been there but because of their connection they were never able to act on it until now. Now that they have the opportunity they will have to wait when danger comes knocking on their door and it seems like it will never leave. A lot was happening in this book and Claire Shaw really put us through the ringer with our emotions. I cannot wait for the next book.

Oooh my yes ,yes yes.

Tyres and Deb WOW the emotions, the feelings just WOW.

From start to finish I couldn't put thier story down. Loved it.

Road Captain Tyres and Debs have been in each other’s orbit for a long time. No move has been made because Debs was taken in by Tyre’s dad Banjo at 16 and eventually became his carer before his death 3 months ago. Both still raw with grief come across a notebook that Banjo had hidden.

The book is full of cryptic entries, but when notes and cards start arriving the club need to solve the clues to keep danger at bay.

A fabulous slow burn story for Tyres and Deb, full of tension, suspense, twists, turns, danger and malice as the club race against time to stay ahead of the nameless enemy. Identities and mysteries are still unsolved, so I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens next.

Tyres is book 2 in the RBMC, Memphis, TN. Chapter. This one is Tyres and Deb's story. This story is an intense, intriguing, dramatic, suspenseful story that pulled me so fast. Tyre's dad Banjo took Deb in at an early age. Although the feelings have been there for years they were never acted on. Now the opportunity is there but other things come into play and the battle they have to fight just seems to keep on coming. Tyres is a great, slow burn story loaded with twists, turns and surprises that kept me right on the edge of my seat the entire way through.

I loved how this story progressed.

The twist and turns in the story line had me gripped and I needed to know what happened and how it turned out.
The queen of hearts play had me hooked and the characters honestly make my day.
Tracker is absolutely hilarious.

RBMC Memphis 2

Alot going on in this story. I guess if you've been around the same people alot you can complete their sentences-few words spoken but meaning behind them. We never seem to get the answers to our questions.
