Eloise has kept her desires in the dark her entire life. Not sure if she should feel ashamed over her need to have a sexual relationship that consists of pain, she focuses on keeping to herself, knowing that she can never have what she really wants.
Steel is a member of The Soldiers of Wrath MC. He is a man that takes what he wants when he wants it; he is never denied. But he wants Eloise, and her refusal to give herself to him makes Steel want her even more. He’s determined to break the composed and collected exterior that she carries.
When Hanson, Eloise’s boss, attacks her, it’s Steel that comes and rescues her. Steel feels something for the woman that’s seemed to turn his world upside down in such a short time.
But Hanson isn’t about to be put in his place, or lay down without a fight. He’ll show Eloise and Steel that he’ll take what he wants regardless of any threat.
Can Eloise give herself to Steel fully, or will her fear for what she really wants hold her back? Can Steel finally allow himself to commit to a woman and show her that what she wants is exactly what he desires to give her?
Warning: This title does contain explicit adult themes.
"Hard As Steel" is the third book in the Soldiers of Wrath MC series, and I can't put my finger on exactly why I have become so interested in this series...but I have. It isn't one of the best, nor is it the most "realistic" on the planet; but it is entertaining me enough to keep reading! As I had said in my past reviews, these are short reads- only just over a hundred pages each; but each book concentrates on a main couple plus we get to see updates on the past couples as well. There is a bit of insta-love that goes on...but I expect it considering the stories are short. They pretty much have a ton of sex in them too, but as the series does continue there is more of a story line included.
In this one, Steel goes to claim Eloise as his woman at the super market where she works. When he is there he finds her being manhandled by her boss, so he steps in and takes charge of the situation. Steel is a take charge kind of guy, and very quickly Eloise realizes that what she has been craving most of her life is to be "owned" by the right kind of man. This would be Steel, and the become very hot and heavy in an affair that consists of spankings, hairbrushes (use your imagination!!!), and belts. I am going to go out on a limb and say that this installment would not be for everyone, as there is some heavier bdsm elements to it. I have read a lot heavier, but I have also read a lot lighter, so just a warning for the readers who may not be into reading that kind of thing!!! For myself, I didn't mind it at all, and I found their relationship to be quite hot, even if it was a little fast.
We also are set up for the next book that is going to be about a forbidden romance, and I personally can't wait to see what is in store for Daniella and Shakes. So, all in all this is a series that wouldn't be for everyone; but I have been enjoying the quick and sexy reads at a time when I haven't been feeling great. Now onto book four; Dead Bastard!
So I am a huge fan of both Jenika Snow and Sam Crescent's OTT stories with their OTT heroes, but I just couldn't with this one. Little to no plot, with tons of smexy (not a criticism per se) and then 1\4 of the short novellas space taken up with the main two characters from the next book 🤷🏻♀️. At a certain point I just started skimming.. Still a fan, just not of this one.
I won a ARC copy of this book on the author's facebook page.
I enjoyed it so so much... It is the third book in the Soldiers of Wrath MC series. I absolutely love the dynamic that Sam Crescent and Jenika Snow has since this series started.
Everything about this book was awesome. What I love about these stories is that these are hard bikers but as soon as they meet their one true love they are devoted from the get go. They are fierce, protective and loving and will do anything for their women
Eloise and Steel's relationship was hot and steamy from the minute they met. And even though she didn't know if he was the one for her, his dominant personality was exactly what she needed
So if you in the mood for Hot Biker Steamy Romance that will keep you guessing and make you want to keep turning the page no matter how late it is, then I suggest you start this series ASAP.
YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Thank you Sam Crescent and Jenika Snow for this opportunity to read this book, I am looking forward to Shake and Danielle's story. I know it's going to be AWESOME!
I had the priviledge to receive an advanced copy, and in return here is my honest review. Another, installment that these two talented Authors have knocked out of the park. The Soldiers of Wrath MC series has been a favorite of mine, and Steel and Eloise’s story was no different. I could not put it down, I read it in one sitting cover to cover. Steel had me waiting for him to take control, and be all alpha dominate with Eloise, and Eloise thinking that she has demented thoughts for all the naughty things she wants Steel to do to her. The bittersweet beautiful moments of finding the one, and only that truly completes you. That’s what Eloise is for Steel, and Eloise has found the one and only person to dominate her in all the ways that matter. Great story, I can’t wait to read anything these two have on the horizon. A great team and the perfect story. Highly recommend.
Soldiers of Wrath book 3 By Sam Crescent and Jenika Snow was an amazing add to this MC series. Sam and Jenika are amazing authors separately but together they are a power house team. I was given the honor to read this book to give my opinion of this amazing addition to the Soldiers of Wrath and here is my take on this story.
Steele is a long time patched member of the Soldiers of Wrath. He is a sadist in the bedroom, a Dom in his own right. He likes control, it is who he is and always has been.
Eloise came from a broken home and has a secret desire of being Submissive in the bedroom, but not just any Submissive. She wants pain, she craves it and needs it. Though has always been to scared to ask past lovers for it fearing they would view her as a freak.
Steele has asked Eloise out and she has denied him. He doesn't know what it is she has that he needs, all he knows is he is drawn to her and cannot manage to stay away. She is scared of Steel, but is attracted to him anyways. She knows he sits outside of the grocery store she works for, but can't seem to say anything eventhough she knows she should. Stalking should scare her like the man himself does but yet she says nothing. She allows him to do his thing and just ignores it. Steele hates that he "stalks" Eloise, that is not him. He could snap his fingers and have any woman he wants. The draw to her is something he can't seem to break. This night in particular he is trying to talk himself out of his obsession with her, talking himself into moving onto one of the club flavors. Her car still being there past closing and all the lights out has him concerned. Not knowing that Eloise's creepy boss has asked her to stay so he could "talk" with her Steele decides to investigate not knowing why he feels the need to go in the back and check things out.
Eloise's boss gives her the creeps, he has asked her into his office after hours and she has done nothing wrong therefore has no idea of why. Her boss is talking about the only way he is going to allow her to keep her job is to make him a happy man. She tells him not happening and he attacks her and tries to take it from her willing or not. Steele breaks in and saves her. He knocks out her boss and takes Eloise home.
Eloise is still scared of him, but at the same time is thankful for him saving her. From this night on Eloise gives Steele a chance. This is where their relationship begins to take place. There is alot of Dom, Sub type situations. Love is learned and taught by both Steele and Eloise and Steele learns that his club is not the only devotion he has. There is alot of twist and turns throughout this story and once you think you have this couple down another twist will come. The ladies did an excellent job keeping you entertained and this book is worthy of 5 stars. These ladies not only keep you entertained but keep you wanting to come back for more.
Thank you Sam and Jenika for asking my opinion of your book, it means alot to me as a big fan of yours. As usual this is amazing thumbs up ladies and I am anxiously waiting for the next installment.
~~Book gifted by the Authors in exchange for a honest review~~
“....I’m going to make you my little masochist slut”.
I love both Jenkia and Sam and together they are just amazing. I didn’t get a chance to read the two books before this one, I may have missed a small part of the personalities but I was still able to enjoy ... More than enjoy the story. Steel and Eloise’ s story loved it! There is nothing negative I can say, there wasn’t a part of the story I didn’t like. The chemistry between Steel and Eloise just sizzled. Its so much fun to see two totally opposites attract, A soldier in a Motorcycle club and just a normal girl working at a grocery store trying to make ends meet. But see Steele becomes a stalker.. Watching Eloise at work... At home. It was a good thing that he did, That fact that one didn’t get the lesson the first time around... Just wow.. Shame. As they spend a bit more time together Steele is able to tap just the surface of Eloise... Something is there she is yet unwillingly able to share. Taking control and leaving no room for argument has Eloise responding in the most naughty of ways. The old saying when “too good to be true or to last”... Oh baby Steele and Eloise will learn that first hand... Is it something they can bounce back from? Is Steele the man for Eloise or is he just no better than a hired hand? Some pretty hot scenes, that will have you fanning your face and enough dirty talkin that will leave you ears needing a cold shower. (winks) I felt another story in there also.. (smiles) Of course I recommend this... Yep sure do. Enjoy. Thank you Jenika and Sam
This is the third book in the Soldiers of Wrath series. Both authors are very talented on their own and they are even better when they teamed up to write this great series together. We have met Steel in the first two books he is a dedicated member of the MC and will do anything for one of his "brothers", he has also kept the club whores quite busy. Never one to settle down until he sees Eloise, a beautiful woman working as a cashier at the local market. He tries asking her to go home with him one night and she politely declined. He can't stop thinking about her so every night she works he waits in the parking lot to make sure she gets to her car and home safely. Eloise can't figure out why the hot as sin biker would be interested in her, she knows he waits for her and follows her and although she should be creeped out she's not, he makes her feel safe. Her boss is constantly hitting on her even though she keeps refusing him. One night after work he calls her to his office and grabs her, knocking her to the floor in an attempt to rape her. Steel hears her screaming and kicks in the office door saving her before anything happens & beating the crap outta her slime ball boss. Steel takes her home and makes her his ! I can't wait for Shakes' book next !
Wow Sam crescent & Jenika snow just work so well together they just create the best combo writing books and you just don't know who's page is written by who the story just flows its fantastic there minds are one-powerful ladies x
This book is the third in this series and if you haven't read the last ones your missing out. I would start from the beginning :) This book was awesome and I've been privileged with review there work, this book is about struggle craving and passion, dominance it's an adventure that will leave you hot and wanting more. Eloise is frightened by her desires and unknown that Steel has been watching her and wanting to make her his they have to to deal with an unwelcome presence who is out to try and get Eloise for them selfs. This book has it all with the strong dominant alpha man and a timid female who blossoms when together as he takes control and give her what she desired. I won't give anything away so go grab your copy and enjoy this steamy read. I recommend this series. I'm now looking forward to the next adventure these two will take me on.
Well so far, this has been my favorite book in this series by far. I don't know if it was all of the unexpected BDSM between Steel and Eloise, the Forbidden attraction between Shakes and Daniella or the whole Hanson attacking Eloise on multiple occasions, but there was plenty going on in this book. We even get to read a little from Zeke's POV, regarding his daughter and the mental abuse she suffered from his wife, her mother.
As per my first two reviews I wasn't to thrilled with this series but this book I did enjoy. The rough play between Steel and Eloise was a bit tough to handle but interesting to read as its always those quiet mousy types that surprise you the most. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that everything progressed quickly on the very same night she was almost sexually assaulted, that's just not realistic for me. Most women would be traumatized not looking to get it on, even if it is with a sexy as sin biker....
The combined talents of the lovely Jenika Snow and Sam Crescent have knocked another one out of the park.
The 3rd installment of the 'Soldiers of Wrath MC' series will leave you satisfied...and hungry at the same time. Steel is a strong, dark, dominating Alpha and has just what Eloise needs. Eloise has hungers. Dark shameful hungers that leave her unsatisfied in life until she gives in to the pull that Steel has on her. Her need to give up control is exactly what Steel wants.
An attack brings them together and an attack makes Steel realize that he's not willing to let her go.
All in all: AMAZING book. Like every book by either Jenika or Sam, you wish they were longer BUT only because they are that consuming. Kudos ladies, ya' done good!
BDSM is the name of the game in the third Soldiers of Wrath book... Steel and mild mannered store clerk Eloise are the players and it is one hot and bumpy ride. Eloise is one of those mousy type girls who don't know how beautiful they are and who craves pain to get off...a complete contradiction and is just what hard-edged biker Steel desires. A nasty man who wants her and foolishly attempts to take what is not his is dealt a harsh blow by the possessive Steel and it's HEA for these two kinky lovers. I liked this one as well as the first two...the common theme being sweet helpless women who have their big bad bikers to protect them...a scary idea at first but then fear turns to love and respect. Very bloody and violent with graphic sexual situations as well.
It's too rushed and one dimensional. Lot of repetitiveness I was ready to scream. I was really starting to like Steel but, his brand of love not really. I mean I get the pain for pleasure but not his need to leave bruises. I get she likes pain but the pain should come without hitting to the point of marking her. I don't understand someone wanting to hurt someone they love like that. But the fast pace of the book left me unsatisfied No back story on the couple nothing. And where was Reese and Amy's baby? It's like the baby never existed. And these women having unprotected sex with these guys who sleep with everrything. I don't care if they wrapped it you can still get Aids, but inprotected??. Just because they say they are clean doesn't mean it's so. And no lube uh..NO And wth No aftercare? That should be his main priority.
I received an ARC from the authors for an honest review… Hard As Steel is the third installment of the 'Soldiers of Wrath MC' series, and it was an awesome read….I adore this series!!! Steel is one strong and dominant Alpha male, and he knows he possesses what Eloise needs. She is hesitant at first to give into what Steel is offering, but she can’t control her needs, so she does finally give in and allows Steel to control the reins of their steamy relationship. When they do come together, it’s gritty and sexy…fireworks!!! I highly recommend this!!! Once I began reading it, I did not stop until the end…Loved it!!!
Holy freaking hell!! This was one hot read. Eloise is shy, kinda introverted so when she meets Steel she turns him down flat. Steel, not used to being rejected, is obsessed and pretty much stalks her for months. He saves her one night when she gets attacked and he does not let her go after he has her in his clutches. Eloise is scared to let anyone especially Steel know what her secret desires are. She wants things in the bedroom that would not be "normal" to some. And holy hell does Steel perform!! Burning hot and sexy as hell. Of course we also see more of Daniella, Zeke's daughter and Shakes, the one who claims her but doesn't let anyone know but her.
Ok, esse foi bem fofo, gostei dos protagonistas, dos dramas e de toda a confusão, a mocinha não era songa monga como no segundo livro dessa série, achei Eloise tímida, porém determinada. Já Steel, um MC bem do safado e cara de pau!
Tem o mesmo problema dos livros anteriores, da história acontecer tudo muito rápido, mas como são livros curtinhos dá pra relevar!
Vale ressaltar que nesse livro as cenas mais calientes são bem fortes e pesadas ;)
Curiosa para ler logo o livro do Shakes com a Daniella!
Se recomendo?! Sim, dos 3 livros, esse foi o que eu mais gostei! Nota: 3
As with the other MC members in the series, Steel see Eloise and its all over for his heart and that's it for him. In each of the books in the series we get chapters that are about the next couple in the series. It's like their prologue is mixed with the present couples story. I have mixed feelings about that. Sometimes I just want to stick with one couple at a time but on the other hand it's nice to get a look at the next couples beginning romance. The sexual relationship between Steel and Eloise is outside my comfort zone so I flip through most of those pages.
Love these two authors!! Awesome addition to this series! Well written holding your attention until the end. Entertaining and steamy hot along with a little dark. Steel is a bossy sexy badass. He's a member of the Soldiers of Wrath MC, a dom and sadist. He sets his sights on Eloise, rescues her from a bad situation and puts her under his protection. Eloise is a submissive and hides her dark desires. She finds herself attracted to Steel. They are the perfect couple and are like day and night. Would recommend! Can't wait for more in this series.
Another quick MC story this time about Steel and Eloise. Typical and predictable story about a shy woman and a rough and tough biker who wants the shy woman. Throw in a stalker boss and some pain mixed in with the sex and the same predictable drama that happens to the woman in the motorcycle club and that just about summarizes the entire story. The story is also packed with some off the charts sex scenes...but beware if you do not like pain and pleasure. This was an OK read for me. It was an easy breezy read!
What can I say? I loved it so much!! Eloise is one awesome girl and is the perfect match for Steel. There story was pure rough kinky sex and it was the best. Once again nobody can pull this off like Jenika and Sam. I was blown away but the connection between Steel and Eloise. No spoilers. Just a must read! And you need a fan because this one gets super HOT!
Shakes is about to put everyone in danger. But I hope its worth it. Can't wait
I just loved this story! Eloise made a great character. She was the true definition of a submissive. So eager to please yet she did have a little spirit and could hold her own when needed thanks to Steel. He brought out the best in her and she brought out the best in him. The story flowed smoothly and the collaboration between Sam and Jenika is always perfect and you can see this throughout the story and the series. Can't wait to read Shakes story.
This is for those naughty,bdsm lovers. Steel has been stalking Eloise ,a suppressed store clerk, because he just has a feeling about her. She's a plain Jane but deep down her sexual appetite is pretty hardcore. Steel rescues her from a bad situation, and together they explore their sexual fantasies. There is also a setup for Shakes story with Daniella, Zeke's daughter, who is totally off limits. 4* for steam alone!
Oh Steel and Eloise ... Some very kinky stuff with these two and I loved that... It was a lil on the darker side and very different considering Steel was a stalker at the beginning but lol that was fantastic!!! Hanson got what he deserved and even though I cringed reading it and thinking oh shit... It just made the book that much more awesome and different .. Really enjoyed hate that it was short but again enjoyed it
Steel doesn't know why Eloise makes him possessive, but she does. Forget the fact that she doesn't give him the time of day and seems not to really notice him. She is who he wants to be his next conquest. But it seems to be more than a conquest for him, so when she gets in trouble with her boss, Steel is there to protect her. The relationship they begin is one of pain and pleasure. It's what Steel wants but will it be everything that Eloise needs?
This story is a quick read!!! The book is about a group of bikers and their illegal affairs. The main Character is Steel who falls in love with a shy girl named Eloise. This book has a lot of sexy times with submission too much I would say. This book also has violence and is very graphic. Which I really could do without. Still I enjoyed the Characters Eloise and Steel. Very well written!!
Only 3 stars on this one & that's really only because I didn't care much for Steel's character for most of the book. Steel: extremely arrogant & self centered, obnoxious Eloise: super charged sex fiend who hides behind mousey exterior 2 different people from 2 very different worlds that have 1 thing in common: pain/pleasure. This 3rd installment seemed literally a smut-fest with a few pages of story mixed in.
So far this series is awesome. I have like all 3 books so far and have started the 4th one. They read pretty fast. I can do one book a day. They still tell a story bout the biker and his lady. All the emotions are there too. Happy, Sad, makes you laugh out loud, makes you reach for a tissue. The guys love their woman unconditionally would do anything for them. I just fell in love with all of them so far.
I love Jenika's writing and all of her books, mixing it with Sam Crescent, just makes for one hot series. This one doesn't disappoint. The Soldiers of Wrath MC is a group of delicious badass bikers and Steel is properly named. Good lord, I haven't gotten hot and bothered by a character in a while, he sure had my blood pumping.
I did not think that Ms. Snow and Ms. Crescent could make this series any better, but they shocked me. I loved this book it is balls to the wall from start to finish. I don't want to give anything away other than to say you are missing out on something if you don't read this book. I loved the characters they are very complex and real
I liked the storyline. I was not really a fan of the pain part between Steel and His lady. Just not my cup of tea. I will keep up with the series, because I love the drama, the passion, love story, the brotherhood. Keep up the good work Ladies, can't wait to read more from you both.
