Black Rebel Riders' MC #8
A Rebel in the Roses
Unable to voice what his heart desires, Patrick ‘Mute’ Hanes suffers in silence. After facing the brutality of his father’s wrath he’s on the road to recovery. This is his story and how he found a rebel in the roses.
Reunited with his mother, Mute has a chance at a new start, a new life with The Black Rebel Riders’ MC. Sounds easy enough until he meets his match. She’s everything he shouldn’t desire, but he craves her company.
Dawn ‘Honey’ Wells is tainted by her mother’s addiction. Following in LL’s footsteps, she’s determined to live free or die trying. No man can tame her spirit or her wild heart. With two men vying to claim her, Dawn finds herself spinning out of control and digging her own grave.
Jim Tom ‘JT’ Franklin is finding his way after being welcomed with open arms by his half-brother, Rebel and the rest of the club. Boy meets girl and falls in love. It should be simple, but life never is.
Love is blind. Love is patient and kind. At least that’s what Christa ‘Buttercup’ Franklin tells herself, but doing and believing are two different things. Seeing her man behind bars proves more difficult than she ever imagined, especially when she is carrying his child.
Determined to make peace with the past, Romeo goes on one final ride to settle an old score. When he comes face to face with the son he never wanted he is met by the one woman he never expected to see again.
The Black Rebel Riders’ saga continues, are you ready to ride?

Fan-freaking-tactic!!! This is my absolute favorite series ever! I've waited it seems forever for this book and oh boy was it worth the wait. I'm in love with these characters, they are my family. I feel like I know each and every one of them, that I'm intertwined in their stories. Each book just gets better and better and the stories keep growing. I'm loving the new characters just as much as the original ones. I love how Glenna is giving us the kids stories, their side of growing up in the club and watching them grow into great adult characters. This series is phenomenal and the writing is wonderful. Give this series a chance you are going to love them!

I received an ARC for an honest review. Where do I start. Absolutely loved it. Like checking in with old friends. I never wanted the book to end. I can only hope there are many more Black Rebel Rider books in the future. Absolutely adore
Glenna Maynard Her writing style, stories, & characters are to die for.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF THE SERIES SO FAR!!!! I absolutely loved Patrick and Dawn's story. It was so sweet for an MC book, my heart was aching with nothing but love and hope for these two. Glenna has done an amazing job writing this book and got the characters just right. I loved all the different POV's, it made me feel a lot closer to the characters as they shared their thoughts and feelings. An amazing instalment in this series and I am so excited to see where Ms. Maynard takes us next!

OMG she did it again...not only did she work on one couple but kept things going on some others. I loved Patrick and Dawn. Went thru so much to get where they landed. They took their time and grew into each other. The sex sizzle in each of her books...Thank you Glenna.... you rocked this one!!!!!
July 25, 2016
Couldn't put it down!!!! I love how Ms. Maynard focuses on one couple but you still get to check in with all your favorites from Drag Creek. Mute you sweet tortured soul... Swoon!!! Grim...Rebel...I love them all!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!! One of my most favorite MC series!!!!

Excellent
Glenna Maynard you rock love this series and my favorite people are Baby and Striker. So I know I will get to read a book 8 since you left off with another cliffhanger and I'm waiting for it to hit the fan with the Black brothers since I know who outlaw is.

Awesome book!I I loved this book!. Had a lot going on with a lot of members. Can't wait to read the next book in this series. The series has been a awesome ride.. But a bumpy ride. I recommend all the books in this series. Read them in order or you will be lost, as each book as so much going on in them.

If you have read the previous books, you already know you are in for a helluva ride and I can completely confirm that!! This is one of those series that when a new book comes out you drop everything and get to reading. Prepare yourself for the emotion and the ride - hang on tight because I promise it's the ride of a lifetime. I can't even begin to describe the love I have for this story, these characters, and absolutely everything about this series. Even knowing anything goes when Glenna writes, she still will always surprise me and try to torture me in such great ways. This book will definitely touch your soul and heart in so many ways. I'm really trying to be vague as not to give anything away but definitely a must read!!!

Another rollercoaster ride of emotion! Glenna's Black Rebel Riders MC series just gets better and better! With this book, you will get to follow new story lines, but also catch up on what has been happening with the older characters, too. Her books always make you feel a wide range of emotions, but I think this book is even stronger than all of the previous books. I absolutely loved Patrick and Dawn, couldn't help but root for Kurt and Christa, and I just know that JT and Kimmie are meant to be together.
This is a wonderful series and if you haven't read any of these books you really need to start now! And don't forget to always"Ride Free or Die Tryin'!

Get ready for the bumpiest, most emotional, twisted ride yet !!
In this, again we see several povs, past meeting future, fates are determined, new loves bloom and old loves die. Yet another amazing installment from The Black Rebel Riders. I loved how past secrets came to light and how no matter what the Rebels stick by the motto of "Ride Free Or Die Tryin'" as it really does suit them. You'll need LOTS of tissues because as i've said it REALLY is the most emotional book of he series so far, but it's evened out with the perfect amount of laughs courtesy of JT and his underwear obsession !!
LOVED IT !!

I don't even know where to start. I really feel like I have been waiting impatiently for this book for too long. In reality that's a lie I am impatient about waiting for any book in this series. When I knew release date was coming I went back and reread the whole series. This is only the second time in my 53 years I have ever done this.
It was as freaking amazing as it was the first time. I feel like a voyuer when reading this series... I know their past and present I just can't get enough. So if you haven't already read them it is a fantastic story and Glenna get writing I'm waiting...... Impatiently

I LOVE THIS SERIES!
Possible spoiler alert follows
One of my favorite characters was killed off earlier in this series and I just couldn't go on! I mean seriously, I slammed on the brakes and just couldn't mentally continue with this series. I bought every book as they were released but I couldn't pick up where I left off reading last. FINALLY I decided to pick this series back up and I'm so glad that I did! Glenna Maynard is an author that can build an excellent story. Her characters are so well developed that you feel bonded to them and think about them long after you've closed the book.

Another fab addition to the Black Rebel Riders' series. This was a great way to catch up with old favourites, while also giving us the story of some newer couples, including a now almost grown up daughter of Romeo; Dawn. I like getting to see these kids grow up, see how their lives are affected by their parents involvement in the MC.
Angst, drama, sexy times and some nicely done violence thrown in for good measure, I really enjoyed A Rebel in the Roses. I'm excited to see where Glenna takes us in book nine!.

A Rebel in the Roses (Black Rebel Riders' MC, #8)
Hell and Past !!!
Story about Romeo's daughter who is a broken girl
and worse than it is even Baby 😂🔥🔥
The story also tells Sunshine about her past and future!
Author brings new characters to the game
Christa High school sweetheart Tread and also Tj's sister.
Tj halfbrother Rebel also sister Christa.
Overall: a lot of things happened, emotional, drama, secrets, betrayal,
and there is something that would like to hide, but still comes out!
I agree with you Glenna's next book will be hell of a ride.
Thank you!

This series just gets better each time I think it can't continue Glenna proves me wrong. Each book gives us that little big more from the characters we love and we get new ones. Love how we get little snippets of the kids lives & how growing up in the MC affected them. It's definitely building to that moment when past & present collide which I'm really excited about. Pure class as always Glenna.

This is the 8th book to the Black Rebel Riders MC and this story just keeps getting better and better. This book continues with lust, tragedy, devastation, and answers many questions. I can’t wait for the next one.

The turn of the next generation has come. This time the MCs are Dawn, Romeo’s daughter and Patrick, the son that Sunshine gave up for adoption. Dawn is dating JT, Rebel’s brother, although their relationship is not serious, they have q good time together and she uses him to get drugs. Dawn has the same vice that her mother Laura had, only she uses to escape the memory of the night her father killed her mother.
Patrick is mute, bc his biological father cut his tongue, in addition to giving a few more scars all over his body. And the burns he suffered when the Black Rebels set fire to his father’s laboratory, he feels that people always will look at him like a freak.
Dawn and Patrick connect immediately, their pain and their scars unite them and together they manage to overcome the past pain and reach their HEA.
Rebel finally discovers that Baby and his brother Stryker are alive, he is furious that the other members of his club have hidden it from him. He travels to see his brother but he is already gone, so he decides to focus on his other brother JT and his future in the club.
Thank God this book not have as much drama and tragedy as the previous ones. My ❤️ couldn’t handle more💔.
The last chapter is about Miracle, the daughter that Romeo abandoned and who was adopted by Rebel. She is already 18 and she is fooling around with a biker,guess who? Colt, Stryker and Baby’s son.
The next book is gone be wild, I can feel it.

Well this was sweet more than anything else.
Karly n Nash:
Glad they decided to move on. Too many people were finding them in Florida, it would have been only a matter of time before the wrong people found them. I hope to fuck they never return to Drag Creek, that fucking place is toxic as shit!
Dawn n Patrick:
Well weren't these two the ugly ducklings in this club. Patrick was sweet but so damaged, his father really did a number on him, but I'm glad he didn't allow his crazy ass sperm donor to taint his soul. Patrick was a good apple. Dawn...well shit I was so disgusted with her behavior, a fucking junkie at 16...what a shame. Despite being handed off from one person to another, she was a good kid, too bad she took after her mother, at least for a while. She got her shit together, after almost dying of course, but she grew up and made better, positive decisions. She turned into quite a woman.
Christa n Kurt:
What can I say except they deserved their HEA. Good couple those two..
Overall this wasn't as trashy and sickening as the other books, seems to me like these offsprings make better longterm decisions than the originals ever did...
Slight cliffhanger...
