I was supposed to protect her, not fall for her... >
Kane is now top dog in the Rugged Angels MC, and has slept with half the eligible biker chicks in Tucson. He meets his match when Kim, daughter of his club's former president, just won't give in to his usual tricks. When Kim's father is shot, Kane steps up to protect her, and neither of them seem capable of handling the sparks that fly as the tension builds between them.

Note: Part 1 of a 2-part series.

Say what?



Luckily it was short.

My thoughts:



Kane was a manwhore. Newly president of the Rugged Angels MC. The former prez tells him that a rival MC took out his wife and needs him to protect his daughter. Okay, seems pretty straight forward, except for the fact that information was just thrown out there without any explanation. Parts of me felt like I was dumped into the middle of the story. As if things were happening in the background without my knowledge and I was left in the dark. This feeling didn't improve.

Kim was a blithering fool. She was quite verbal about her hatred for the MC life. She made it clear that she hated her dad and blamed him for her mother's death and her hate blanketed the entire crew. But then as soon as she hopped on Kane's bike, she transformed. Hate turned to lust, yet she remained ignorant and annoying.



You know what I can't stand? When a heroine is informed of imminent danger by people who are toting weapons of destruction and death, yet when she's offered assistance by those who can realistically protect her, she says something like "I can protect myself." Really ho? Really? Did you become a lethal assassin and I'm caught totally unaware? No? So what are you protecting yourself with?

I'm hoping book 2 gives me a reason to care whether she survives the attempts on her life.

This story was ridiculous, I have no other adjective. All you can expect is a card-board cut, man-whore hero and a weak of resolve heroine who couldn't even resist him for a chapter. She's supposed to hate bikers, her mother just died because of them, yet an hour behind "Kane" on his bike changes all that. In fact, it was before, just as he arrived to her apartment with his crew, she already recognised her hormones had the hots for him, instantly. I surely rolled my eyes then and was about to drop it... it was certainly a mistake to keep reading. Mercifully, a short one because you can read this in an hour.
Definitely dropping this nonsense now before lust turns into love in the blink of an eye in the next book.

Quick, short, steamy, violent MC read. Main characters Kane ( new MC prez) and Kim (ex-MC prezs daughter). Kane is hot, loyal and kick ass! Kim is a stupid, naive brat! She blames her father and his lifestyle on her parents divorce and ultimately her mother's death. Her mother choose Banner and his lifestyle but no only dear old dad is to blame for everything!!! So when a rival MC gang who btw kills mommy dearest and goes after Banner aka dad, then goes after Kim what does she say when faced with this danger?!?! Tells Kane "I can take care of myself" Really!?!? How? do you have a gun? No! Do you have kick ass ninja skills? No! Do you have any common sense... NO!
So to sum up this short read, Kane friggin hotty badass biker! Kim annoying heroine who doesn't deserve all the protection and attention the Rugged Angels MC bestow on her! Huge cliffy, let's see if book 2 can redeem Kim in my eyes!

Wow!! I love reading MC romances. This book was great. As always, Bella did it again.

When another MC gang starts going after the ex-president's family one by one, the Rugged Angels president, Kane Angelo makes a promise to his mentor Banner, the former MC president, to protect his stubborn daughter from being hurt.

Kim Banner hates the Club, her mother was murdered earlier that day and she hasn't spoken to her father in years because he chose the Club over his family. She blame her dad for her mom's death. When Kane comes to take her to a safe house, she fights him on leaving. But Kane won't back down on this, he never breaks a promise. Soon they are running around trying to lose their tail and eventually a few guys had to split up, and what was once 5 people is now down to 2.

Next part is in book 2.
Good read!!

This is a Mc story of the Rugged Angels and how Kane the president makes a promise to there old president to protect his daughter when there is a war going on with a rival club.
Kim hates the biker life her dad was the president and she never understood why he chose that life, but when a handsome man from the club orders her to pack she is safe she goes I the defensive.
Can Kane keep his promise to Banner to keep his daughter safe not two minutes into meeting her and she's being abusing to him, when they go on the run things between the two of them get heated. Both feeling things for each other but with the situation there in can it really come to anything.

This was a short quick read that I liked. Kane is president of Rugged Angels Motorcycle Club. He is responsible to keep Kim the daughter of the past president safe from the Arroyo Bandits MC. Kane is a hot sexy manwhore who has slept with half the women in the club. Kim won't give him the time of day but when bullets start to fly these two go on the run. These character's had a lot of chemistry when these two get hot and heavy it is hot. This book left off on a cliffhanger. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I'm an independent reviewer for Romance Authors That Rock. I've read both 1 and 2.
Kane is the president of the Rugged Angels, ex-military, bikers gang, going on 6 months. When Banner knocked on his door changing his life. Now he is protecting Kim, Banner's daughter, from a rival gang. Falling in love on the run isn't easy.
I enjoyed this story. This is the first book I have read by Bella Love-Wins, I will be reading more of her books. I liked that she flipped between both Kane and Kim, it gives more to the story seeing thier sides.

Really enjoyed this book

I was pulled into this story from the beginning and stayed there until the end.
Twists, turns and surprises await you within the pages of this book, oh boy there are some brilliant surprises that all aide in making the book a fantastic read.
Emotions from the characters can be felt, if you are anything like me you will go through the emotions with them
I recommend this book.

Sexy Alpha Male President of his MC sent to protect his former presidents daughter as they're under attack by another gang.

It's a tense & intense read. I'm loving push & pull between Kane & Kim. She's very prejudiced against the club & her Dad but is unable to resist him - brill.

Kim is the estranged daughter to the former president of the Rugged Angels MC. Her mother was just killed by a rival target and now they are after Kim.

Banner, Kim’s dad, enlists the current Prez to protect her. When Kane and Kim meet, sparks fly. Kim does not like the biker lifestyle, so she keeps her distance, but now she needs to depend on them to save her life.

Part one of two

If this is the start of Kim and Kane their story is set to burn the pages of paperback and melt your kindles. An alpha male veteran MC president has met his equal in Kim jyst add in her estranged father is his former MC president and you know the drama is going to be amazing

Dog by Bella Love-Wins is really well done. I don't yet understand the significance of the title, but I love the way this has all started. Such rotten tragedies must come out good somehow, right? I am moving right into #2 just to make sure.

Liked it

A pretty good short story set in the underground MC world. It's tough being related to the president. Someone always wants to use you for target practice. Editing issues.

Not even close to a resolution although it certainly ended on a cliffhanger. Writing is okay but there is not enough to make any real decision.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kane is a man with needs, needs of good booze and women not wanting a commitment. As a matter of fact the book starts with him in some compromising positions, literally. He has been through enough loss and hurt. He was interrupted though by the sound he didn't want to hear. A knock at the door letting him know his predecessor has had something bad happen. Turns out Banner's (the said predecessor) ex wife and mother of his daughter had been killed by a rival MC gang. Now Kane is helping Banner, to get back into good graces with is distant daughter during the loss. Banner then is shot and it is all on Kane (as the current president of this MC gang) and his men to take care of this and Kim (Banner's daughter)

Kim is a college student for nursing, and upon her father's calls to inform her of what has happened all her anger and hate resurface harder than before. She is not coping well. Kane and his buddies show up at her apartment upon her melt down. She is hurt and angry and not going to deal with him no matter how hot he is and definitely not taking orders from him or allowing the sparks she feel come to life....or does she??

Can Kane win her heart and can Kim? They are both hiding secrets, him especially. He feels with her....really feels again. It has been 5 years since this feeling, is he willing to allow it to happen? Will Kim allow it? Will they tell their secrets? Will they allow love in?

We start out with Kane, talking to two women. They have apparently gone back to the clubhouse and the girls are trying to figure out what they want to do. When they're in the middle of doing what they're going to do. There's a knock on the door, of course. Who is it and what is going on that causes Kane to walk away from his ladies? Who is Banner/ What has happened that he's in the state he is in? Less than 24 hours later, what else happens with regards to Banner? Who are the Arroyos Bandidos? Other than a bunch of idiots, thinking to take on an MC full of ex-military members? Who is Kim and what happens when Kane approaches her? When the 'Team' thinks they are safe, what happens? What news is brought to Kane from the two guys that went out to gather intel from the rest of the club? After they bring back the news, something happens. What is it and how did they find out where to go? What does this mean Kane and Kim need to do? When they 'take off' and make sure they weren't followed, then backtrack far enough to get some gas and supplies, what happens? This book does end on a cliff hanger and you really need to get part two to find out what happens.
