Inside this book - Biker MC, Curvy Girl, Age Gap, Brothers Best Friend, Small town, Ex-military, touch her & die, Spicy.
I run the Forsaken Angels MC. Eight ex-military brothers, one small Montana town, and a code that doesn't bend.
Then Callie Mercer walked into my town with her brother's name on her lips and three days worth of trouble behind her.
Her brother had told her if she was ever in trouble, she should find me. That I'd keep her safe.
She's fifteen years younger than me. Scared, hunted, and looking at me like I'm the only solid thing in her world.
I'm supposed to be her protector. Her brother's commanding officer. The man she runs to, not the man she falls for.
But every night she's under my roof, I'm fighting a war I'm starting to lose.
And the men hunting her? They have no idea what they've just walked into.
A biker MC steamy romance short and spicy read set in a small town. This is a standalone complete story and is set in the connected world of the Forsaken Angels MC. Guarunteed HEA with no cliffhangers or cheating.
I'd like to start by acknowledging the real victim in this book.
Angel's carefully organised life.
That poor thing didn't survive the opening chapters.
Because Angel is out here being all responsible and ex-military and MC-president-like. He's got rules. Structure. Self-control. The man probably alphabetises his problems, folds his stress into neat little squares and files his emotional baggage by category.
Then Callie shows up and suddenly he's acting like someone released a possum into the ceiling at 2am.
He's trying very hard to carry on like everything's normal.
Everything is not normal.
What absolutely sent me was how determined Angel was to convince himself he was simply doing his duty.
That's it.
Nothing else.
Just helping out.
Just keeping a promise.
Just protecting Callie because she's his friend's little sister and she's in trouble.
Perfectly reasonable.
Completely professional.
Absolutely not suspicious.
Meanwhile this man is one mildly inconvenient event away from relocating her into a fortified bunker.
Callie: "I'm fine."
Angel: "You sure?"
Callie: "Yes."
Angel: "But are you fine-fine or are you saying you're fine?"
Callie: "..."
Angel, already planning for seventeen possible scenarios including ones that haven't happened yet:
"I don't think she's fine."
At one point I became convinced that if Callie sneezed, Angel would've called an emergency club meeting.
Angel:
"We've got a situation."
Club:
"Where?"
Angel:
"Callie sneezed."
Club:
"..."
Angel:
"I need solutions, people."
The thing that had me cackling is that this man genuinely thinks nobody can tell what's happening.
Sweetheart.
The entire town knows.
The club knows.
The bloke selling pies at the bakery knows.
Three elderly ladies gossiping over coffee know.
A magpie sitting on a powerline probably knows.
Angel:
"I'm just protecting her."
Me:
"Sure."
Angel:
"That's all this is."
Me:
"Of course it is."
Angel:
"Nothing else is going on."
Me:
"And I definitely needed every single book I bought this month."
Let's not lie to each other.
The man spends the whole book acting like a soldier carrying out a mission when really he's giving stressed-out dad, emotional-support golden retriever and overprotective nan all at the same time.
Has she eaten?
Is she warm enough?
Does she need a blanket?
A snack?
A less stressful day?
A better mattress?
A personal meteorologist?
The woman could mention being slightly chilly and this bloke would be halfway through constructing a second house around the first house.
And poor Callie is just trying to exist while this giant biker security system nobody remembers installing keeps hovering in the background conducting emotional surveillance.
The danger storyline keeps things moving, but honestly I was having far too much fun watching Angel lose a battle he'd already lost three chapters earlier.
Every chapter felt like:
Angel:
"Everything is under control."
Reality:
"Interesting feedback."
Angel:
"I'm being professional."
Reality:
"That's adorable."
Angel:
"I'm making sensible decisions."
Reality:
"Put your helmet on, sweetheart."
Because watching this man cling desperately to common sense while his feelings repeatedly launched themselves off a cliff was premium entertainment.
The poor bloke really looked at a woman needing help and accidentally turned it into a full-time personality trait.
My only complaint is that I wanted more time with them.
Not because the story felt unfinished.
I was just having too much fun.
Every time I settled in with my snacks thinking, excellent, let's watch Angel continue this completely unwinnable fight against reality, the book was already sprinting towards the finish line.
Come back.
He's still embarrassing himself.
Four stars.
Everybody kept worrying about the men chasing Callie.
Fair.
Reasonable concern.
Meanwhile I was over here watching Angel slowly transform from biker club president into Callie Mercer's extremely overqualified emergency contact.
The man really looked at a simple protection job and somehow turned it into a full emotional hostage situation.
Angel:
"I'm protecting her."
His actions:
"I have made this woman my entire business."
Angel:
"This is temporary."
His actions:
"I've already emotionally moved her into my future."
I enjoyed this short. I do wish it was a bit longer, because I feel like the characters had a connection that we weren't able to see.
The main character Callie, saw something she wasn't supposed to see. She went to police and told them what she saw. They were on the payroll, so they didnt do anything. The gang that she saw commit a crime, went to her house and ransacked it after she went to the police. She didnt believe that she was safe, so she remembered what her brother said right before he passed years ago. 'If you're ever in trouble find Angel.'
She did exactly that. She drove to the small town where he was and told him who he was and why she was here. Angel told her that he would protect her no matter what.
As the week went on the gang found her and where she was hiding out..
As the story goes on there's a connection between Callie and Angel, but its more of an overview and we dont get a lot of connection/conversation between them. I do wish that we got more on how they fell for eachother. The story line is good, but feels rush as well.
Callie has stumbled onto a bad situation she witnessed a killing. She was taking out the garbage and seen a cop with a guy on his knees and shot him in the head. And the cop seen Callie and she seen very clearly. Then two bikers watch her get off work and the next night someone broke into her apartment and trash it and left a clear message by putting a knife in her pillow. That’s when she remembered what her brother said before his last deployment. If she need help get to forsaken and ask for Angel. Angel goes to the gas station after a call that a woman is asking for him. After finding out that she Ryan Mercer sister there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her. But he has so much guilt about he brother he can act on his attraction to her but that will change and then they still have to deal with the trouble come for her. So enjoy the story and see what happens. It’s not a long story but it a complete one. Enjoy!
I bought this book on a whim – this is my first one by this author but it certainly won’t be my last – and I am so glad I did. It is a short, cute, light and delightful read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Angel is the Prez of the Forsaken Angels MC in Forsaken, Montana. Former military, as are his MC brothers. Men who bled for their country but somehow were also dismissed by it and created a brotherhood of their own. Callie is the little sister of Ryan, someone who served with Angel and died on duty. Angel always held himself responsible for his brother’s death. So, when Ryan’s sister comes to him seeking help, as she found herself a witness in a crime, helping her was no brainer. But protection turns to so much more, despite the fifteen years between them. I loved every page. 5 stars!
Although this was a short it was very difficult to finish. The writing style made reading this book very tedious. Firstly, there was very little dialogue. I think there were probably less than 20 instances of where people spoke to each other. Instead we got each of the main characters constantly in monologues and what’s worse, they’re not just saying what they’re thinking but doing this very strange thing of telling us what the other person is thinking and feeling. All this just by looking at them.
Secondly it was so repetitive. The author tries to be descriptive but uses the same descriptors each time. We were told so many times that the MMC is a commander of men, built the MC etc.
I’m glad it was a short as I would not have finished it. If the rest of the series is written in the same vein I don’t think I’ll be reading them.
I enjoyed the story. The characters kept my interest. However, It seemed too rushed. It was like a story was told but the reader couldn’t get close. I knew the story: brother died in service; sister told if she needed help she was to find brothers friend who would help her. Brother died in military battle. She found the friend and his buddies. But the reader didn’t get to know the brother’s personality. It was a story told but we the reader was not invited to participate because we weren’t introduced. It was worth reading but it could have been so very much better.
Loved!!! Great start to this series!! Callie is scared, she saw something she wasn’t supposed to see…and now she is afraid. So she does what her brother told her to do before his last tour…the one he never came back from…he told her to go to Angel if she ever needs help. Former military now motorcycle club president…takes one look at Callie and knows he is going to protect her…because she is his to protect. This was a great page turner that I really enjoyed. The story was fast paced and the characters were beyond perfect.
Great Read of an age gap relationship, shared pain between strangers, and Found Family
I am a HUGE fan of MC books. I love a wealthy billionaire story. I love STRONG MFC story lines.
If you love rivalry, male dominance, age gap and found family this is the perfect read.
I felt communication was light not a lot of banter but a lot of narration. I loved the end where they come to the conclusion about his brother on the front porch and how they would use the name later in the book!!
A murder she was never meant to see her life in danger. She ran to Forsaken and Angel.
Callie saw a cop murder someone. Reported to the police they said they would get back to her. They didn't, then her apartment was broken into. Before he died her brother had told her if she was ever in danger go to Forsaken Montana and find Angel.
Sexy motorcycle club president said he would take care of it and keep her safe.
Very short. To the point. A little too much if I am being honest. Since it's such a short story, you don't get enough of the story. I liked the plot but felt so rushed and like oh we are crying then kissing then crying later and having sex? Who knew tears were so sexy apparently. As much as I was okay with the premise and characters I don't think I'll be continuing the series. So many other biker choices that I think I will enjoy better.
I really liked this. For such a short novella, I feel like it was done pretty well. The writing was really good. The writing was the best part for me. The characters were really good, but I wish we could have gotten more from them. Of course, it's a novella and only 58 pages so I get why we didn't. The plot was interesting and done well. It felt pretty realistic. Overall, I feel like if you go into this knowing its very short and the set up to a series, it's definitely worth it.
Her brother told her to go to him if she ever needed help, so she did. He came to the gas station and told her to follow him. He would do what needed to be done. I read this book with my heart and soul. Thoughtful, compelling and I lived in it. It was wonderful and the ending made my heart smile.
This was the first time, I read her book. it was Great. This book was Short, ex Military, Running, Brother told er to go to Angel, Crooked cop, witness, Age gap, wonderful characters, Short, Friend little sister, MC President, action, entertaining, unpredictable Steam, Spicy, curvy girl, small town.
This quick read is packed full of everything I want in a well rounded romance, and it can easily be finished in one go. The author delivers on everything promised in the designed to catch your attention tagline, and with so many engaging characters, I'll definitely be checking out more of this series as well as more from Sable Creed.
She was running as she saw a cop kill someone and now he sent a Booker gang after her to the place her brother told her to go if she needed help to go find Angel he would keep her safe. I would like to say thankyou for all your hard work and may fortune smile on you always from a Bookworm that loves to read
C’est un bon livre. L’idée est bonne, l’histoire aussi, malheureusement comme le livre ne contient que 66 pages, tout se passe trop vite. Les événements ne sont pas approfondis, pas de développement sur les personnages et l’intrigue. C’est dommage. Un petit livre à lire sans se torturer la tête et avant d’aller se coucher et qui fait plaisir.
Love this book and can't wait for the next book in the series and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read about MC life and their family and friends 🩷 and Sable Creed is an amazing writer 🩵
Good storyline with Angel and Called coming together due to her witnessing a murder and her brother before he died told her,to go see Angel if he wasn't around if she was in trouble. Angel fixed the problem and kept the girl.
A nice novella, it’s pretty low stakes, and medium heat. If you’re looking for something easy to read in between longer reads, it’s a good one to grab.
✨No cheating ✨No third act breakup ✨No OWD/OMD ✨HEA
I love to read MC stories. I think this is only the one I have reviewed. I will read the whole series and go on to another MC series, they are worth reading.
Callie is running from trouble to her brother friend. Angel is president of a MC full of military guys. He was Ryan Commander and now he's protecting his sister . And falling for her.
While the book was short and the relationship fast, it did not feel rushed. That's tough to do on such a short book. It had weight behind it. I would have liked a few more interactions before they jumped in the sack, but again... short book so hey...
Eu estava esperando uma pouco mais de emoção, mas para se perder no tempo, até que a história foi legal. Mais espero que os outros tenha uma pouco de ação em ambos os sentidos, hot e ação. O casal é interessante mais faltou algo para ser incrível, para não dizer palavrão.
Extremely rushed and just missing any real world building. Genuinely believe it should’ve been put on wattpad instead. I feel like the story is a great base but didn’t get the time and writing it needed.
Sable Creed is a new to me author. I picked Angel’s Promise to fulfill a Kindle reading challenge. The story itself is very good. I would have given the story a 4 but personally I think they mentioned the age gap a little too much. The story is quick and has just the right amount of heat.
This story is a beautiful one of lost family and finding a new life where you find home after serving the threat. Classic alpha male Mc love Age Gap Recommend this book and series
The story wa s well written and the characters were believable. The timeline had problems. Ryan told her to find Angel in Montana before he died. Angel was still serving when he died and had not started the club. That thought annoyed me for the whole story.
Great story. Great ending, very interesting. A great way to look at the perspective of someone who goes to war and loses somewhere very close to them. And the family they leave behind. Well, written.
Callie is a frightened woman on the run. She did the right thing when she saw something she shouldn’t have. Her beloved brother told her to find Angel if she was ever in need. So she did. Angel protected her immediately without any pushback.
