AN OUTLAW'S OBSESSION RUNS FURIOUS, DEEP, AND FOREVER...
CHRISTA
Hell always screams into my life on two wheels – so why the hell does he look like heaven? Rabid's nothing like the other vicious thugs in the Grizzlies Motorcycle Club. When I see the dark ink dancing on his stunning body, I almost believe he's here to save me, instead of just seduce me.
But I won't be fooled again. All the club brings is ruin, and they're back to give me more.
Sure, Rabid saved me once. Doesn't mean I'll get closer and dig my grave deeper, no matter how nice his rough hands would feel locked around my waist. Angels never kiss like devils, right?
RABID
I can't get her outta my skull. My brothers say she's like broken glass, but they don't know she's already lodged in my heart.
She's tense, suspicious, and totally scared. I'm gonna find out why. Secrets don't mean a damned thing if she's in danger.
Christa's mine. I don't care if my patch makes her flip, or even if she keeps breathing fire my way every second we're together. I'm the best thing that ever walked into her life, and I'm not walking out.
I'll bleed rivers to get my brand on this woman. She's gonna wear it and get used to calling me her old man. I'll have my lips all over this redhead knockout if it's the last thing I do...
Nicole Snow is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author. She found her love of writing by hashing out love scenes on lunch breaks and plotting her great escape from boardrooms. Her work roared onto the indie romance scene in 2014 with her Grizzlies MC series.
Since then Snow aims for the very best in growly, heart-of-gold alpha heroes, unbelievable suspense, and swoon storms aplenty.
Current fan favorites include her Enguard Protectors series, accidental love novels, plus long beloved MC romance thrillers like the Grizzlies and Deadly Pistols.
Nicole Snow does it again. Rabid is such an awesome character, and as always Christa is a real, relatable woman who is easy for me to identify with. I don't know whether it's because Ms. Snow and I are just on the same wavelength or whatever, but I always find I connect with the heroines in her romances, and it makes it so much easier to really put myself in her shoes and enjoy the story through her eyes.
As usual, the writing is strong and vivid, and some of the imagery is wonderful.
It's Nicole again with some flaming hot teasers for my new Grizzlies MC romance novel, OUTLAW'S OBSESSION! Check out the quote cards below and start your engines. :)
I don't even know where to start talking about my Rabid. Did i say MY? Hell yes, so just remember that! He is hands down the sexiest, most panty-dropping dirty talker with a heart of pure gold that has ever existed in the MC Romance world. We saw at the end of the first book in this series that Rabid was feeling something of a protective nature towards Christa after her capture and torture by Fang. This book picks up after that ordeal and Christa is trying to settle back down to a normal life. Which of course we all know is not possible when dealing with evil rival MCs and when there are secrets kept and feelings hidden. Rabid knows from the very start what he wants. He wants Christa on the back of his bike, wearing his ink, in his bed, becoming his wife and having his kids. Not all right now, but he has the whole future planned out. This does NOT match Rabid's previous personality. Something just clicked inside of him after the first time he met Christa. He is known to his brothers as someone who puts his club and family above everything but as far as women go he uses them and then loses them. Ever since he met Christa, he can't act that way anymore. He can't even get aroused by anyone else...even before Christa has ever admitted that she feels something for him! So in essence he becomes faithful to her before they are even a committed couple! Swoon!!! Christa is trying to hide some trouble she's in with a certain charter of the MC and knows if she lets Rabid get too close she'll open up to him and it will start an all out war between MCs that will be all her fault. She tries her best to push Rabid away, but he is one stubborn man when it comes to getting the woman he wants. He knows she'll be his and he's just waiting for her to realize it. If she doesn't come to it on her own fast enough then he's prepared to do whatever it takes to get her to see where and who she belongs to. He promises her the world and they aren't just empty words. He risks literally everything for her in this book. Not only is he sexy as hell with all of his muscles and ink and gruff nature, but he treats her like a princess and is constantly reminding her how much she means to him. Rabid is who makes this book so absolutely sublime. The words that come out of his mouth either heat up my body to the point of needing a panty change and shower or melt my heart because of his blatant honesty and the depth of his feelings. When he loves, he loves all the way, with his whole being. There is no halfway in...it's all or nothing. He is a goddamn machine when it comes to sex. I've never in my life read love-making scenes that turned me on as much as Rabid's did. He growls his words and his love-making noises and I can't stop imagining that he's growling to me! "The rock hard maniac between my legs had no pause, no on and off." "Baby, give me a chance, and I'll show you how deep this heart goes. I'm not asking. I'm saying you're gonna do it, and you're gonna love it, even when I make an ass outta myself." I would love to share some of his scorching hot lines, but I'm not for two reasons: first, because you should just read the book and experience Rabid for yourself, and two, I'm pretty sure Amazon wouldn't post my review if they were included. Lol. You'll have to read the book to see what Rabid, Christa and the club go through and how they deal with it. It's not totally necessary to read Outlaw's Kiss first, but I would recommend it just because it gives you some background on both of these main characters. This is my second MC book I've read by Nicole Snow and I can't wait to read more of them. If you enjoy the MC erotica genre, then you owe it to yourself to give this series a go.
I was not a fan of "Outlaw's Kiss." Brass just didn't do it for me at all. This one was a lot better, character wise and romance, but still lacked in story and plot.
Damn, damn, all things sexy damn! Rabid is the epitome of sexy badass mf! Drool, pant, and beg for one of your very own kinda sexy!
He gets off to a little bit of a rocky start. He's immediately drawn to Christa, but she has deep physical scars marring her self-confidence from book one & emotional ones from her younger years protecting her heart. Plus, she has a full plate of obligations that she doesn't want the blowback from to hurt anyone else. So, he knows the reasons, but is still a little insensitive as to why that shit makes her equally reserved, skittish & bitchy. I mean what woman would have a cut up face & be reminded of it as often as she is & not have a hard time seeing her beauty?!!? He drinks himself into oblivion until he decides not to take no for an answer anymore.
After he decides to quit letting her run, this badass Mf turns into a damn tatted up superman sex Gawd! Seventeen times in two days?!? Normally, I'd laugh at that and call bullshit, but the author pulled it off with this character.
I appreciated the lack of angsty bs here. He knew what he wanted and made no qualms about it. He proved his love for his woman in blood & his desire for her by being insatiable with anything less than her. Bam an unbreakable couple was born.
A few tidbits of constructive criticism for the author:
• The romance was hot, no doubt. But, the book needed more in terms of secondary plot. What little there was was too simple and too easily solved.
• Christa's character was a little inconsistent. I get the whole ho in the bed, lady in the streets. However, she goes from this reserved tutor that blushes to a chick that can do what she did to Red without a single doubt or regret?!? Really, it's kind of a tough leap for readers to make!
• Rabid makes it crystal clear that he will be loyal to Christa in the bed. He's crude.. Fine. He's a 24/7 hardon.. Great. He's not hearts and flowers... Works. What isn't fine, great, or workable is the constant inner dialogue bringing up his past sex life.. Examples:
@62% "I memorized the place that made her jump and flush with pure pleasure. I did it with all the girls I'd ever fucked more than once, but I took extra care with her."
@90% - "..one hand squeezing her thigh the way I used to do my whores."
^ From a reader's perspective, no one wants to hear that whatever he's doing with his girl had previously been done with one of his whores. Eek!
Holy hell, first off where can I find my own Rabid? The man is a sex stamina god! Just like the energizer bunny, Rabid keeps going and going. So yes boy toy is needed during this read, otherwise use the handheld rabbit! Hahahha okay in all seriousness this was a five star read, kinda nice seeing someone who has lost everything find her own slice of happiness. Rabid and Christa's story was one I could get down with. Yes it was the A typical damsel in distress, but the quiet keep to herself loner gal was a firecracker with teeth. Appropriate for a man of Rabid's caliber, she gives as good as she gets. Taking care of a former biker, Christa's dad suffers with Alzheimer's and this she cat will do whatever it takes to protect herself and him from the rogue Grizzles refusing to follow under the new mother chapters reign.
Where in the world can I find my own Rabid??!!!!!!! This alpha sex god has the stamina of a man I wanna know! Saweeeeet baby jesus is he beyond sexxaay n hot.....the dirty talk is so amazing & drool worthy I couldn't get enough. I literally devoured this book so quickly as its so good and the sex scenes are SCORCHING HOT!!!! If you like MC romance books.....THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ!!!!!!
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. Holy cow is this book hot, we start this book after the fight with fang has occurred the grizzle's are still trying to clean up their club and what would one of their books be without drama boring and trust me this book is in no way shape or form boring. This is one of those books you will rush your friends out of your house shut off the ringer to the phone and hide from your children until you are done. This book grabs you from the first word and doesn't let go to the very end.
We met Rabid and Christa in the first Grizzlie's MC book. Christa was the prisoner that fang had held captive and had cut her face with a knife. Read book 1 to get the what happens when they find her. Christa helps the grizzlies turn on fang and ultimately take their club in a new direction. However there is more to Christa and the grizzlies than we found out in the first book she has had ties to them for years (no spoilers here as to what that connection is).
Rabid saved Christa first from fang then during the fire fight that happened later on. He knows he wants Christa he just has to get the girl to agree. When this book starts out Rabid is taking grief from Brass for not claiming this woman yet. Says he needs to either claim her or move on, easier said than done in Rabid's mind. When one of the members of another chapter mentions something about Christa he knows there is more to her story than she originally let on, and he is determined to find out what that is.
This book is full of biker drama that we all want. There is also a great story about love, acceptance and healing. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is so amazing I could not hardly put it down and that is tough to to when you know you have to work. Pick up your copy immediately you will not be sorry.
Fast-paced. Not much depth to the characters though, and things may have happened too quickly for me to think of this as more than a quick MC book to pass the time. Rabid has some serious, um, skills. I did appreciate that he was a reformed man whore but only has eyes for his lady Christa. Lots of steamy scenes, skimpy on the plot. Suspense didn't build and the drama was over in the blink of an eye, so that was disappointing. I don't know if I would call this one dark. More gritty than anything, but the pace keeps you from really getting worked up during the climactic parts. I'll probably continue on with the series. I'm curious about Roman.
Christa Kimmel is trying to survive. Keep the bikers off her back and keep her father safe. She borrowed money from the Grizzlies MC up north and she has been paying them ever since. They keep threatening her father and trying to take her back to be one of the many MC whores. After Fang sliced her face before he was killed, she wants nothing to do with anyone on a motorcycle. But after she was attacked by Fang and his thugs, Rabid has been keeping an eye on her. He wants to protect and keep her safe. Why is this woman different for him than the others at the clubhouse? While Christa scraps by with tutoring just to keep Big Ed pacified, will she ever get them paid off? She sees her dad every week but his mind is failing and most days he doesn't even recognize her. When she finally gives in to her feeling for Rabid, it really scares her. Can she trust Rabid and her feelings? Will Rabid us her as the other women at the club? But when things go really bad, will the good Grizzlies save them from the bad Grizzlies? Can Christa and Rabid be what each other needs? I love this series and can't wait for more. **Copy provided by the author in exchange for my honest review**
Once again we are drawn into the world of the Grizzlies MC and are in for another thrilling ride. We start at Fang's take down where Rabid and Christa start on the bumpy journey to discover their feelings for one another. Christa has secrets and does not want to pull Rabid and the Grizzlies into her troubles. Rabid is just like his name and is tenacious in finding out those secrets and protecting what is his. This is a dark and brutal world where death and violence is an everyday occurrence. Ms. Snow has a way of blending the dark with the light to show us the people behind the patches allowing us a rare view from the inside out instead of from the outside in. Rabid is a wonderful character filled with passion, loyalty and love who will protect those he cares about with his last breath. Christa is damaged, feels unworthy and needs Rabid with her whole being. Ms. Snow's characters are fierce, brutal, dangerous, mysterious, play hard, fight dirty and love with everything they have. The storyline will draw you in, grab hold and keep you glued to your seat right up to the end. Grab your brain bucket and get ready for a thrilling ride.
This is the second book in the Grizzlies MC series, Rabid and Christa were featured in the first book. After what happened to Christa, Rabid has been keeping an eye on her. But it's become more than that, he's obsessed with her, but she's determined to keep him at arms length. Rabid is sure that Christa is hiding something from him and he knows that sooner or later he will find out what it is. Christa thinks she knows what sort of man Rabid is, little does she know how far he will go to get what he wants and keep her safe. When everything comes to light it not only affects Christa, the Grizzlies are involved as well. Rabid will fight to his last breath to do what's right.
This is another hard hitting story from this author. I loved the characters, the story was action packed, yes there's violence, but this club has to fight to survive. Rabid and Christa are great together, the sex was hot and explosive. This is a real page turner. I can't wait to see who's story is next. ARC courtesy of the author.
I love MC for the angst, the drama, for the bit of rough. Outlaws Obsession had all that but I wanted more.
I was a little lost at first, Rabid previously met Christa when she was rescued by the MC from one of their enemies. I have read the previous book but had to think back a bit as my focus was probably more on Missy and brass from Outlaws Kiss at the time. I prefer not starting a new couples book were it picks up from the previous book, especially if you haven't read it.
Basically, since the incident where Rabid rescues Christa he can't get the redheaded Christa and her battered and scarred body out of his head and becomes obsessed to a point where he even uses one of the club whores who has the same red hair to find his release with.
There is a lot of sex before and after Rabid gets with Christa, it's hot but I found the words such as I spilled my seed in her and those kinds of words a little eye rolling. Apart from the MC club settling scores with enemies, there isn't much in the plot other than sex.
If you like your MC reads with a lot of sex this may be for you but I like more substance and it wasn't as enjoyable for me compared to other MC reads or the previous book.
you no when youve read a really amazing book when you cannot get you shit together and gather your thoughts properly!
THERE MAY BE MINOR SPOILERS IN HERE...
Were to start.....
Charlie "rabid" Tellard, there ain't nothing sweet or soft about my man! (Yes you read right, he's mine bitches!). God he's everything I want in a hero, he loves hard&fights harder! He wanted christa something fierce but wasn't wasnt ready for it so he drank his problems away in spare pussy fucking shit up for a bit, he soon got kicked out of it and wised his ass up going for what he wants most oh and he got her! True to his name he's fight for what he wants regardless of the consequences, and he fought hard for christa. There was a split second where I worried for him when he killed big ed... I wasn't sure what way it was going to go when he told blackjack and the club and it made me nervous but he took it like a champ.
Christa ... she fought hard in the begining wanting nothing to do with rabid or his club, Not that I blame her after all the shit that's happened to her. A feisty red head with a soft centre. Keeping her dad safe was all that mattered to her. She couldn't understand why she felt the way she did towards rabid and it frustrated her. Due to certin circumstances that lead her to call on rabid there relationship cemented quicker than I thought it would but I loved it.she was perfect for him because there was no judgement, she knew the life and what it lead and it didn't matter as long as rabid was there with her.i loved her character, she was hard and fought when she need to but soft and sweet too! And let me just say the bitch kicked ass! I mean seriously!
"Piece of shit! You'll never touch my man again in this life time"
Together oh jeez they light the world up! The chemistry/connection was totally out this world in and outside the bedroom. The most refreshing part was that there is no bitching over jealousy either way and no trust issues in general. Christa was insecure about the scars on her face but hey who wouldn't be, it took time but rabid made sure that she new he loved her just the way she was.
"Your pusses fucking herione. I never did the shit but I saw enough guys who did to know. This is the kinda shit that turns a man into somthing deprived, makes him a totally desperate junkie for this and only fucking this" (Swoon worthy right?)
I experienced so meny emotions through this book, one minute I was cheering them on the next I was wanting to through my kindle across the room in a full out tantrum!I know this authors is good at what she does simply because I've read her books previous, however I haven't read the first in the series so although I knew I proberly wasn't going to hate it. I still didn't know what to expect.It's gritty dark and dangerous which all adds up to my favourite kind of book! The story line flowed seamlessly through the book, not at any point did I feel bored. Completely captivated in the story I didn't lift my head from my kindle until the book was finished, and even then I was shouting because I wanted more.The chemistry between the hero and heroine was off the charts hot! And the secoundry characters slid into the story perfect. Bring on Romans story because that's going to be amazing!, I can just feel it!
I really don't want to give much away because it will ruin it for you, but honestly this book is fantastic and I'll be recommending it to all my friends, so if your reading this you should go buy it too!
Fav quote/saying that I will be using again "LOVE. STICKY,WET AND BURNING" totally describes me after reading this haha! <3
xo
I received this ARC in exchange for honest review.
This woman has done it again!!! with every story added in this series it just gets BETTER and BETTER! Miss Nicole CAN WRITE her TALE OFF all the while taking you along for the RIDE! What a HELLAVA RIDE it IS!!!!!!! I can say that with every book she publishes she grows as a writer. The stories flowing from this ladys brain are not only PHENOMENAL but it drags you into it so fluently that one minute you are sitting on your couch or in your bed and the next you are in the story being and feeling what the characters are going through. She has the talent to grab you and tear your insides out all the while replacing it with what she has offered to you through her stories. I have said it before and I will MOST definitely say it AGAIN! I will purchase EVERY book this author writes for every device I have she is THAT GOOD!
If you have NOT ever picked up any of her books trust me you are gonna want to....This author is beyond SPECTACULAR she is one hell of a story teller and you will not be the least bit sorry you gave her a shot.
This story is gonna make you cry, laugh, get very pissed off and then make you feel these emotions all over again from page to page, the very first word to the very last. it is brutal and beautiful yet tragic and comical at the same time. I like the fact you get a little bit of everything from this book. it addresses some serious issues but does not make that the focal point of the story and the resolutions put forth are very REAL. When I say that it will suck you in I am not kidding. Even though all of her stories are stand alones they all flow together within the series. (Nicole can I call it a series even though they are stand alone novels but yet go in a series?) did this ??? make sense to anyone but me?
Another issue is that this author has released these stories fairly quickly so you don't have to wait for a year for the next in line and the flow of these books is quick. what I mean is once you start reading this author she is EXTREMELY hard to put down. No LIE! Just try her out and you will see what I mean.
The characters are well developed in the previous stories so you get a more than a glimpse of them. When I started reading it was like I had just put the previous book down and it was so refreshing to see that.
Thank you Nicole for including me in this opportunity for you. I so enjoy your stories and I look forward to reading more from you in the future. I will support you as long as your write darling!
HOLY HELL!!! One of the BEST books I have read in a long, long time!!!
I was graciously given this book by the author to read for my honest review.
What a great story! It's nitty, gritty and all kinds dirty and crazy ass good!!!
Rabid is one of the most dirtiest talking, by the brotherhood book, tell it like it is, hold no prisoners, loyal, love til he dies MC biker H's that I've read in such a long time. I absolutely loved him from the first page until the end of this book. He is what you totally want in a biker from a hard run MC. He totally rocked this book, and I know that when you finish this story, you will feel the exact same way.
Rabid sets his sights on Christa, who was in a previous book. She had her face sliced up by Fang, the previous President of the Grizzlies who was killed by Blackjack, the current President. Rabid was the one who took care of her after she was rescued, and he's wanted her ever since. He gets what he wants, and let me tell you... They totally belong together! They took me on a ride throughout this book, that was exciting, twisted, scary, dreamy and everything in between.
I really loved both of the lead characters - Rabid and Christa. Their story was one of the BEST!! They were believable, lovable and both were strong independently and together.
The writing wasn't too bad, but my issues had more to do with the story itself -- not that I thought the story was bad or anything (I didn't get far enough in to judge that), just that it wasn't "doing it" for me. For one thing, I'm not a fan of "stand alones" that make me feel lost if I haven't read the previous books in the series. For another thing, as someone who isn't a Sons of Anarchy fan (braces self -- don't hit me GR friends!) I'm not really into reading about MC politics. There's way too much of that going on for my taste. Finally, I was having trouble relating to either Christa or Rabid, which kinda sucks because there was some potential there. That could just be me. I'm pretty impatient lately about how much time I want to put into books before I give up.
I'm blown away!! I can't believe she did it again....wow oh wow! I have read all the Prairie Devils MC & now Grizzlies MC....they are getting better & better .....& I loved the Prairie Devils MC series. Rabid where to begin....strong, scary, HOT, bad ass biker with an incredible soft side. Christa, strong girl who's had it tough & still goes through life with her head held up high. This book had it all.... I laughed, I cried, I got mad & the story took a few surprises which I totally did not see coming...love that!! Sex scenes....wooooooow!! STEAMING HOT!! HEA Yeah!! NO cliffhanger yeah!! I was given a free copy for my honest review.... I loved this book! If you enjoy hot alpha mc biker books with lots of steam...this ones for you!! Enjoy! Can't wait for the next one!!
I was given this book to read by Nicole in return for an honest review... I hadn't read anything from Nicole before this so I thought I'd read the first one in this series first and that blew my mind with Brass and Missy's story however this one tops it!!! If you want a book that has a little violence, a little drama and plenty of raw, hot, filthy sex this is the book for you... Rabid is a crude, filthy biker that gets the blood pumping with his attitude and crudeness who meets his match in Christa. Awesome book Nicole and I look forward to reading more about the Grizzlies MC...this was a truly hot, wicked and wild ride!!!
The good bad guys We find out not all Grizzlies MC members are bad guys. In this well written book it’s about Christa and Rabid’s story and how they can to be together. Christa has been under the thumb of the Grizzlies Klamath crew and owes them money. But the Charter home in truth owns that debt and Rabid doesn't like what’s happening to her. And she’s not telling him what’s all really happening. There are still lots on internal wars within the Grizzlies and the mother charter has to figure who’s the good guy and who aren’t. Very entertaining self-contained story.
I received this book as a ARC for my honest opinion... to be honest before I got this book I never read anything by this author...I got book 1 because I like to read series in order and I am glad that I did because I really enjoyed both books and now I am looking foward to read more books by this author... even though you can read these books as standalone you get more out of the story and understand more of what's going on if you read book 1 first....With that said both books are great and I enjoyed reading them and can't wait to see what comes next with the Grizzlies MC...
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. What can I say, this was the best one I've read out out of the Nicole's MC series, I cant think of the right words to describe this story with cuz nothing I can think of will even do this story any justice, this is heart pounding attention within the first chapter and never lets up until the last page. If I could rate this a 10 I would it is that banging good.
Not sure how to sum it up. There just seemed to be a lot of Rabid and Christa getting it on and less story. The gritty parts were normal. I like Rabid and Christa. The book was just not as good as Nicole's other Outlaw books. Not to say this one was bad. I am looking forward to reading the next one and hoping its Roman's!!
This book was amazing. like it was so good that I finished with my snack and realized that I finished the book. it is that good. this series is a must read.
I received a copy of this book to read in exchange for a honest review
Outlaw's Obsession is the second book in the Grizzlies MC series by Nicole Snow. This storyline was solid and had everything you look for in some good MC book. The characters had passion and chemistry. Loved the book and looking forward to more in this series!!
Christa has been having such a hard time with dad having dementia in a home ,the attack, and now more grizzly crap .rabbit is taking all the problems away if it kills him .read to see their story.
