Steel My Soul
Gabi
The whispers around my small town are that Gabriela Ortiz is a total slut.
So I set out to make them right.
But when I brought home the biker, there was something so familiar about him, though there definitely shouldn't have been. After all, if I had met him before, I would have remembered him for sure. He's sex on legs, with piercing blue eyes and a jawline that could cut you.
It's only after a night of the best sex of my life that I wake up and realize who he is.
But why is he back in town?
And why is he calling himself Crash?
Crash
I don't know why I came back here. But if I've got to start all over again, I could do worse than do it in Gabi's bed. One night with her was all I needed to set things right.
The only problem is, now I can't stop thinking about her.
That's bad.
Because I haven't started all over again, not this time anyway. I've got a past and it's coming for me and if I don't watch out it's going to come for Gabi too.

About the author
Vivian Lux
74 books535 followersVivian Lux is a penname for author Theresa Leigh
Theresa Leigh is a romance author whose love of reading is so intense, she sometimes injures herself by walking around with her nose in a book. She loves writing stories that have you feeling every emotion... sometimes all on the same page.
After five years of writing romance under a penname, Theresa finally decided to own up to how she was spending her all time. Her mother now knows all about the kinds of books she writes. She reacted more positively to it than Theresa expected.
Theresa lives and writes in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State (not the city) (that distinction is important to her), where she lives with her husband, twin sons and twin orange cats, Pumpkin and Jackie O’Lantern. When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys eating too much Thai food, walking around barefoot, and cooing baby talk at her cats.

Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
Life is full of s**t! Especially, when you wake up after a motorcycle accident and remember absolutely nothing about your past and everyone around is a stranger. In this the fourth book in the Sons of Steel MC series, Vivian Lux once again hits a home run with this titillating novel filled with kink, lust and eventually a MC styled HEA! This is Crash’s story of restoration as he finds peace and himself through love of a good woman, Gabi.
When you live in a small town, everyone knows everyone else’s business. It does not matter if they get the information right or not, it still is out there. That has been the life of Gabriela Ortiz since high school and the malicious gossip started about her by those girls, you know, those bad girls that love creating drama for someone other than themselves. But, Gabi lives by the motto ‘they are not going to get me down’ and lives life the way she wants! So when she had a really bad day at work, she stopped by her favorite bar for a drink and some relaxing. The man that walks through the door causes her mouth to water and her lady parts to sit up and take notice. He is sex on legs and Gabi decides to take him out for a walk! But why is he so familiar?
Life just pisses him off, his leg is not working, his brain is messed up, he is cold and why had he returned to Lenape. Oh, right, he has nowhere else to go! After his accident he had made a new life for himself with his MC and club brothers, but now that was gone. He was on his own until he walked into that bar and there she was, sitting at the bar. The more up close and personal he gets with Gabi, the more he wants to. She gives him a peace he has never known and the control he desperately needs. Maybe he can start a third life, if the past will stay there!
Hero: Benjamin ‘Crash’ Nelson 4.5 stars
Heroine: Gabriela Ortiz 4.5 stars
Steam: 4.5 stars
Plot: 4.5 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Would I recommend this book: Yes! Get down with a messed up bad boy biker and his sexy bad girl in this scorching novel. You will fall in love with Crash and believe it or not his sensitive side, while admiring Gabi and the strong, gutsy woman she is.
Would I recommend these authors: Yes! What can you say about an author that does it all and does it really well. Vivian Lux continues to amaze and enthrall me with her astonishing storylines and unforgettable characters. Ms. Lux is in a class by herself when it comes to creating a world with MC bad boys and the remarkable women that they love! I cannot wait for her next release.

Steel My Soul (Motorcycle Club Romance)Vivian Lux
May 4, 2015
This is the fourth book in the Sons of Steel series, Crash's story. I am a Crash girl so I have been waiting impatiently for this one. Crash is dirty. There is nothing clean cut about the man but with his past, there isn't much light to clear the dark. He almost lost his life but beat the devil to come back. He can't remember who he was but when things fall out with his brothers he finds himself back where his life WAS.
Gabi is not weak. She has dealt with much hell in her life, being known as a slut was not a quality to be proud of. Working at a bridal shop and seeing happy bride after happy bride does nothing for her optimism. One random night, she takes home a stranger that saves her from dealing with some assholes of the past. He is familiar but she can't quite place him. A face of the past that doesn't even know who he is. Crash.
"He raised his eyebrows in greeting, his lip curling into a smile that was half boyish mischief, half dripping in sex. Oh holy shit."
Crash and Gabi work well together. He learns to let her in, let her try to make sense of his issues. She wants in; she wants him to let her help. There is some sweetness to Crash, who else would bring you flowers (weeds), he picked by himself that still have dirt attached to the roots, and make you melt with his sincerity.
"She made me want to talk, to make promises I wasn't sure I'd keep. I just wanted to make her smile that perfect smile again."
The past, his life still comes back. With Gabi, he is able to do it right this time. The Sons need him, Doc needs him.
If you love dirty bikers, you will love Crash. I mean what other guy can say "Oink Oink, baby" and make is sound sexy and dirty as hell.

What a great storyline for a Motorcycle club style read. The heroine is a strong willed woman, who falls for this badass broken down biker who can’t remember who he once was.
Crash and Gabi keep you on your toes, making you wait for the shoe to drop. This couple really compliment the other. Gritty, passionate, heartfelt read. Loved the characters and I’m excited for the next one. Bring on the next one Vivian I’m ready!
I had the privilege to receive an ARC for my honest review.

Crash and Gabi are by far my favorite couple yet. Crash aka Ben was just a teenager when he got in a bad car accident that destroyed his memory. Gabi the younger girl with quite a reputation and beautiful skin remembered those eyes but couldn't remember why. it wasn't until she found his wallet and knew it was him the guy from highscool. It didn't matter to Gabi, he couldn't remember her. As the two get tk know one another it turns into a very heart warming romance. Love this series.

Loved this story!!!
Crash, his memory gone, fighting with his brotherhood, left. He had to be okay from all of them. Never did he think he would end up back where he grew up. Or for that matter, meet someone and fall in love!!!! Gabi was all that he wanted. But then Doc was injured and he had to go back to the brotherhood. Would she still love him once she saw his past? I loved this story and all of the books in the series!!!!

At the end of the last book I felt so sad for Crash. I couldn't wait to read his story. I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I didn't feel the connection between Crash and Gabi, and I REALLY wanted too. I kept reading HOPING it would get better. Then it did... In the epilogue...
I'm still a Vivian Lux fan and will continue to read her books, this one was just a miss for me.
