Red Rebels MC #4
Reprise
Harlon "Tiny" Gray is the oldest living member of the Red Rebels MC living on the outside, yet he's not the longest-serving member. A long time ago he had started life on a very different path, and the bumps and lumps caused his world to change and put him on the path of the Red Rebels.
Mallory Beck played a prominent role in that past life, and she's moved on to her own aspirations as well; mainly, being a singer-songwriter. She's still at home in Cleary, Colorado playing lead singer to a young bar band when Tiny Gray returns home due to a family crisis.
When their paths cross again their attraction and regret are among the many dramas that play out within the violent world of the Red Rebels MC. And a secret that Tiny is harbouring is deciding factor when it all comes to a head.

Nothing beats being back in the warm embrace of a Freak Circle Press author. Even if that embrace is followed by them ripping your heart out ... IMO, the feels #FCPAuthors manage to deliver with their stories are worth every tear, happy and sad.
This is a story about love, loss, regret, second chances and how it's never too late to follow your dreams. A lot of it is told via flashbacks (LOVE!) and spans over almost 30 years. The story isn't your typical HEA but don't let it stop you from reading it. The best thing about the authors of Freak Circle Press is that they are so good at writing real life - shit happens but life goes on. All their stories are always about moving forward. Even at times when it seems like it might be the impossible thing to do.
C.D. Breadner delivers all the feels with this one and I mean ALL the feels! I don't know if I can write much of a review at the moment - my brain is still fuzzy from crying for the last hour.
In a nutshell ...
REPRISE is a great addition to the series and an absolute MUST READ! If you've been following Red Rebels MC and familiar with this colorful group, you'll be happy to know we get to seem all of them in this latest installment of this awesome saga. Can't wait to see what's in store for them all in the next book(s) to come.
Cheers!

5 "It's a reason, not an excuse." Stars
The Red Rebels of Markham always provide great romances thanks to the excellent story telling of C.D. Breadner. In Reprise we get a glimpse into the life of Harlon "Tiny" Gray, an older character who's age, wisdom, and experience give readers a unique look into not only his life but the entire clubs as well. Mallory Beck, a strong, intriguing heroine, who's age and experience also lend a certain appeal into the life is a great female lead. These two come together seamlessly for a second chance at something beautiful. Forgiveness and sorrow are both explored in the novel as well as letting go and moving forward despite whatever obstacles you may face. There were several times throughout the story I laughed and felt all warm and fuzzy with Tiny and Mallory. Reprise isn't a traditional happily ever after type of book but rather represents values of real life and how to overcome the despair of some very tragic hardships. Tiny and Mallory teach a lesson through their love with a family of bikers at their backs.
What I love about Breadner's writing is that she always gives so much without saturating her stories with superfluous details about her characters. Parts of this story are told through perfectly placed flashbacks and the way Breadner has executed this plot with both present and past works really well. Also, her execution of plot concerning the entire MC always holds me captive. A lot is happening in the world of the Red Rebels and there's not shortage of danger for the club. What goes on within the pages of Tiny's story regarding the entire MC has me sensing a major shift for the Red Rebels that I'm excited to see move forward. Reprise is book four of the Red Rebels MC series, told from dual 3rd person points of view, it could be read as a stand alone I suppose but if you're a MC romance lover you'd be doing yourself a great disservice not reading the entire Red Rebels series. This cast of characters is one you won't soon forget.
BR with my biker babe for life, Irene.

Seems quite a few are harboring secrets. Secrets in the club, acts of betrayal, shaky truces on the verge of collapse, malicious intentions from supposed allies. Harlon "Tiny" Gray knows this lesson better than anyone. As the oldest brother in the MC, he’s hiding a big one himself.
Called back to his hometown to deal with a family emergency. His life is intercepted with a fork in the road.
C.D. Breadner has always brought out extreme, intense emotions in me. Reprise was by far the most devastational of the five star reads! To comprehend and put into words the mind fuckery is challenging. You know and I mean you really know, there aren’t going to be any happy endings.

This book devastated me.
I must remember Breadner's characters portrays real life and not some romantic fairy tale.
Gah!!!!
I didn't think I was going to like this book as much as the first three, just wasn't feeling Tiny so much, but boy did Breadner blow me away this one. Though Breadner broke my heart Reprise will stay with me for a long while. These books just get better and better!
Now I'm off to read what trouble Knuckles will get into!

Another great read, but not a traditional ending, tissues will be needed with this one, very emotional read.

Another great installment from C.D Breadner.
This one is a bit of a tear jerker, lots of sadness throughout.
I love how the characters from the previous books have been incorporated into the story line and yet it could be read as a stand-alone without too much confusion.
I'm conflicted as I loved the story but wish Tiny and Mal could have had more happiness, I really do not feel I can write much more without spoiling the story for those who are yet to read.
Can hardly wait for the next one.

I love this author...and I loved this story...but it is heartbreaking and most definitely not the Happy ever after of a true romance. That said it also continued the story of the Red Rebbles and those we got to know in the past. It felt like a bridge to the next chapter with them (Knuckels story next please!) and possibly and introduction to a new Chapter of the MC. Whatever this author brings us next it will be a the top of my reading list.

I love this series! This particular book had me so emotional. At first I wondered why Tiny would be the next MC member chosen to have a book, but after reading, this was one of my favorites out of the series. I should say so much more, but I just finished the book and need to reflect a bit. I am hoping this series continues, as I will be eagerly anticipating the release of each forthcoming book!

Absolutely incredible! There is nothing fairytale like about this one..all the Red Rebels actually.
I was enthralled from the very beginning and waa so sad when it ended; its like a merry go round of feelings.

Some might ask, how can an author make a good story of a couple in their 50’s. But this author does it and she does it good. Tiny and Mallory get their second chance. They fell in love when she was 20 and he was 29. A tragic loss separates them and fates brings them back together twenty something years later. The love has never died. In fact it had grown only stronger. Tiny has been one of my favorites characters since book 1 in this series. He’s the oldest of the brothers but he’s still hot, hot, hot. He’s the mentor to the guys, he’s soft spoken and the kids all love him. The Red Rebels family is his life and he’s satisfied until life starts getting bad. His parents have aged and he has to go back home to take care of them. Mallory re-enters his life. He’s faced with a medical condition that makes him wonder if he should be in any relationship. My heart broke for the things he and Mallory faced. I was emotional days after I closed this book. How good is an author that can leave you with such strong emotions? A good one.
There’s triggers here, death, violence, grit. But there’s even more love. I highly recommend this book and this series for those who love a serious, realistic story. I really, really don’t want this series to end.

Big fat ugly tears on my kindle! Another fantastic installment in this series.

I can't say enough about a book such as this. It pushes our buttons in ways that few books do. Hits our hearts and nourishes our reader's soul. C. D. Breadner is one heck of a fine writer; a part of a group of women (The Freak Circle) who are all wonderful writers with creative and unique imaginations. One thing I can say about going into a book written by Ms. Breadner is that I do so with a slow tread and a careful heart; knowing that in each book it's likely that my heart will feel sad somewhere along the way. A book such as those Ms. Breadner writes makes the reader FEEL a whole range of emotions. She doesn't write books that are easily put aside or forgotten. Her books are among a group I read, and reread because there are times when we readers have the need to be happy, sad, hopeful and glad for the beloved characters we come to care about. Sometimes crying over what you’re reading is downright cathartic.
In this book four of the Red Rebels MC, we have two main characters, Tiny and Mal. Two people who were meant to be together but fate had other ideas and they are torn apart by tragedy. 29 years later they come back into each other's universe and discover another chance at a love that never died. We get all the drama and danger that we've come to expect with each Red Rebel MC book and with a truly well thought out group of characters that comprise the MC family. Each character becomes beloved; each unique and perfectly flawed. Special mention here to the character Knuckles who is Tiny's best friend and perhaps may someday have his own story to tell. I could easily feel the caring friendship between Tiny and Knuckles.
Tiny is an uncomplicated man who starts out this book with a situation that sets the tone for the whole book; not a hopeful future for a man who will rediscover the love he lost. As he and Mal fall in love again his zest for living his life to the fullest is so apparent but as his days move ahead this reader could clearly feel his days growing short. There are times when I felt the hopefulness that our writer must have felt for her character; a character who likely wanted to live forever. Mal for her part was a woman who'd been set adrift after the abandonment of her man so many years before. Yet she'd found a life worth living, but it seemed like she'd settled for what she felt worthy of having. Once back with Tiny she'd come home just as he'd found his home once again in her adoration. Their love was loud.
So much sadness in this book. Drama.....oh yes. The MC is at a place where they are puppets to evil men. It seems as if they cannot free themselves from those who exploit their talents. It is almost fortunate how Tiny finds his way out when presented with what he was forced into. I guess I can't imagine how else things might have happened for Tiny. Was Tiny a martyr in the end? Perhaps. Definitely; I felt him a sort of hero.
In closing; I just want to convey to our Dear Authoress; how much this series means to me as a long term MC Series reader. I've read so many MC books to date and most I've forgotten after enjoying the entertainment they lent me. Not so with a C. D. Breadner book. Books like these are few and far between. They make this reader FEEL. They make this reader have hope for the characters that become so beloved. Books like these mean everything when one loves to read.
Thank you so much for sharing your writing talents with us readers. I loved this book and hope for more in the Red Rebel's MC Series.

Sometimes fiction hurts...Great book, but I'm devastated.

I loved this book along with the whole series. I wish there was more to read - can't wait for the next one! This was heartbreaking.

This was heartbreaking

I didn't think I would enjoy this book, reading about "old man" getting jiggy doesn't do it for me & I honestly didn't realise just how old Tiny was before his book. Putting all that aside though this book was utterly heartbreaking, tragic yet still a great book & I really enjoyed it & it ended with me really looking forward to reading more about Knuckles.

Whoa. This one knocked me for a loop..... This is a very good series......

4 stars. My favorite in the series so far. Hot, sexy, steamy, emotional, dark with just enough angst. Great cast of supporting characters. On to the next one...

Great love story
This is a great read. I love how the author took two mature people and gave them a second chance. Although I can't say much without giving the story away, I will say that I'm heart broken. Wishing for a different ending. Beautifully written but sad. Mallory and Tiny's story is a tale of second chances and a reminder to all of us to appreciate every moment we have with our love ones because tomorrow is never,ever, promised.
