Princes Motorcycle Club #1
Driven by Impulse
FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR GEMMA SNOW
Book one in the Princes Motorcycle Club series
He's a man at the edge. They might just be the ones to bring him back.
Sheriff Hanna never knew why Ash left all those years ago. At least, she never believed what they told her about why the foster brother she had fallen in love with disappeared without a trace. But none of that matters now, not the broken heart or the unanswered questions, not when the woman she’s promised to protect has disappeared, and Ash is the only one she trusts to help.
The only one she trusts to save them all.
Ash became the one thing he needed most when he was young—a protector, a fighter for the vulnerable. But right now the only person he seems to be fighting with is his motorcycle club captain, Nicco, who refuses to let anyone in after the terrible events of the last year. Nicco is wasting away before Ash’s eyes, and it’s breaking his heart—not that Ash’s best friend and the man who saved him from Hell has any idea how Ash truly feels—and Ash has every plan of keeping it that way.
Until his past comes knocking on the door in the form of a stubborn redhead he’s never been able to forget.
Nicco is ready to walk away. He’s spent the last year licking his wounds and healing from his past and he’s ready to hand the club over and be done once and for all. The problem is that the club is the only thing keeping him going, and giving it up feels like letting the darkness win, darkness Nicco has been battling for far too long.
Darkness only Ash seems to notice.
Of course, Ash is the only person who has ever truly understood Nicco in the ways that matter. Ash, and apparently his tornado of a foster sister, who descends on his club, his life, and his world with all the subtlety of an explosion. Hanna sees, feels, and wants too much from both of them—and the unbelievable thing is that Nicco finds he’ll do just about anything to make her happy.
And just about anything to make Ash happy.
Healing isn’t linear, as it turns out. But opening your heart to the right person—or people—can make all the difference.
As long as they stay out of the line of fire. And that’s something the three of them have never been very good at, especially as dangerous secrets are revealed and powerful men threaten everything that matters to them.
That’s the thing about survivors, though. They’ll fight, battle-worn, bloody knuckled, and covered in mud until the very end for the people they love. And the chance of happiness is always worth the war.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3 stars
Driven by Impulse is listed as book one in the Princes Motorcycle Club series, but from the start, it felt like this was a spinoff or that I was missing a lot of backstory. Sheriff Hanna has a woman on the run in a safe house and there is a whole background that I felt we were supposed to know more about. This is also tied into a story about Hanna’s sister that we are given little information on. Then, when Hanna has no idea who to turn to, she calls Ash, who is second in a motorcycle club and someone she hasn’t spoken to in years, to come to help. Ash’s captain, Nicco, comes with him and Nicco also has an entire backstory that is basically his whole personality, but that all happened somewhere else in another time and place.
The connection between the three main characters comes through at times, but there is so much else in the way that it was difficult to enjoy those parts. The story felt jumbled because of it.

Review of advance copy
Good MMF book with light kink
Love my MMF, and these three are a very exciting bunch! The storyline was nice and full of potential, the plot was plotting, just feel like it did not deliver in the end.
Both MMCs are troubled boys, but good boys, and they are best friends. I really liked both. There was referenced this past story that all three MCs were part of, but you never get the full scope of, so it felt like you should already have read the first book, but this is the first book. That confused me a bit and interrupted the flow in the story.
The three MCs are so promising, unfortunately I feel like we fall just short of truly falling in love with them. And it is the same with the spice. I really wish the kink was more pronounced and deep, the submission felt stated more than lived.
All in all, a book with all the right ingredients but somehow does not quite deliver for me! 😢

A solid, engaging story. Hanna, a local sheriff, finds herself protecting a woman who holds inside information about her husband’s illegal dealings. When everything spirals out of control, Hanna has no choice but to turn to an old friend and his motorcycle club for help.
The plot moves at a fast pace, filled with danger and high-stakes moments. The characters are layered and complex, each grappling with questions of identity and belonging. Altogether, it makes for a compelling and interesting read.

Engaging story, intriguing characters and OMG-hot interactions!
What's not to love?
The setting and relationships are both out of my realm of knowledge but Gemma made it all feel very real. Now I'm wondering about what happened in the past and what will happen in the future - can't wait for the next book!

Loved the book very definitely an 18+ rating but if you like lots and lots of steam then well worth the read. Hanna and Ash have. Lot of history to work through but when they do wow they are perfect together and Nicco keeps the temper flares to a minimum.
So much upheaval in town but the club is there to have Hanna’s back and their protection is needed from all sides including from herself at times. There is a bit of a cliffhanger so I’m really hoping for more books in this series.

A very enjoyable romance full of suspense, action, tension and steam. I loved the way the relationship developed between Hanna, Ash and Nicco. All were complex characters and their chemistry was sizzling. Overall, a great MMF story.

First time author for me.
This is a captivating romance packed with suspense, action, tension and plenty of drama.
Hanna, Ash and Nicco are wonderful characters and the chemistry between them is smoking, their relationship develops naturally throughout the story.
It’s an interesting and steamy read from start to finish.

A baddie with a badge ;). Hanna is exactly what I love in FMCs. Not only is she a sheriff but she still exudes feminism which Ash and Nicco know how to pick up. The reason why they are thrust into each others life had me on the edge of my seat. Not only did we get the chemistry between Hanna and the guys we also get that chemistry between Ash and Nicco which OMG was hot af!!
