“I’m going to have you, baby,” he said gruffly. At the same time he roughly grabbed my panties and ripped them from my body. Rock’s the VP of Phantom Riders MC. Dangerous. Unpredictable. Ruthless. A killer who’ll stop at nothing to keep what’s his. Allie had given Rock her virginity, and then disappeared after she got pregnant. Club trouble doesn't stop him from showing up at her door seven years later, demanding his son, and claiming her. Excerpt - Lightning flashed throughout the room, causing me to wince at its closeness. The thunder that followed caused the windows to rattle. “You have no right−” “You keep saying that, babe.” He ran his lips up and down the side of my neck, causing goose bumps to cover my flesh. His hand moved to the hem of my dress. I panicked. “Rock−no!” He pulled the wet material until it was bunched at my thighs, and easily prevented my hand from removing his when I’d foolishly tried. “What do you think you’re doing?” I asked in a low tone. His low rumble against me stimulated certain needs in my body. My hand remained over his as he continued slowly until he’d reached the elastic to my panties. I held my breath, listening to his heavy breathing in my ear. His fingers teased the crease where the elastic rested, before flicking over the small triangle of silk covering my sex. I released a moan of pleasure, my knees buckling. “You like that.” He stated it as a fact, running his finger over the material. I knew I was wet, and not from the rain. “You always did.” His tongue, teeth, and lips were moving over my skin as he said the words in a tone designed to ramp up the heat. I arched my neck to the side so he had better access. He made a rough sound, taking the edge of my halter top in his teeth and pulling it down my shoulder. The louder the storm turned outside, the more intense the storm inside me became. NO CLIFFHANGERS! STANDALONG ROMANCE.

He was a hypocritical slut while she was a pathetic doormat controlled by her hormones! He left her for nearly seven years knowing she had his child but didn't do anything about it while he enjoyed sleeping around. He suddenly decides he wants his son and goes after them after SEVEN YEARS! This pathetic bitch apologises after for leaving even if he had been abusive to her verbally about not wanting the baby! This book was awful!

My first reading of this author.
I found interesting the story.
Has all elements characteristic of stories about bikers.
We have conflict between clubs, club whores causing problem, action and danger scenes, hospital scenes and hot sex scenes. The author follows the formula perfectly.
Reading the book hooked me and I liked it.


We hadn’t had much time together, but it had been enough for me to know that I’d wanted to claim her as my woman. But then she’d gotten pregnant, a little too soon, a little too easy, and I hadn’t dealt with the news very well. I’d said some shitty, hurtful things to her, and then let her walk away.

I’d turned to booze and women to assuage the anger of betrayal and the need to prove to myself that it didn’t matter, that she hadn’t mattered. There was always pussy to satisfy my dick. I was the VP of Phantom Riders and had my pick of the best. But none of them had completely satisfied the monster raging inside me who could only be tamed by one, sweet, annoying-as-hell little woman.

My one and only priority now was to get my son. She’d already had him to herself for six years, had been with him when he got his first tooth, took his first step, said his first word.

“What about Allie?” he asked. He reached forward for his beer. “You gonna bring her back, too?”
 
I took a deep breath, wondering about that myself. Thinking about her fired me up. I wasn’t even sure if I could be around her without hurting her. “Haven’t thought that far,” I told him.

Fuck. His life wasn’t for me. I’d never had any illusions about what I deserved. I’d made my bed years ago, and I would die in it, alone. Maybe I didn’t deserve to have my son, but I was a mean bastard, and Allie was going to find out just how mean the next time I laid eyes on her.

Unless you were twenty-five, like me, and you had no one. I hadn’t slept with a man since Rock. I’d like to say it was because there hadn’t been time to think about men and relationships, but that would have been a lie. I just hadn’t found a man who interested me enough into going further with him. I’d dated a few times, but that was the extent of my love-life.

Getting pregnant had been a big surprise to both of us, because Rock had always insisted on using a condom. I guess that was why it had been so hard for him to accept that the baby I was carrying was even his. And for him to accuse me of being unfaithful…that had crushed me.

After months had gone by and he hadn’t shown up I’d made the decision to leave, leaving a note for him with the landlord just in case. I’ll probably never know if he received it.

“Finding you was easy,” Rock said in response to my question. “Once I decided that I wanted to find you, and my son. So if moving a couple of times was your way of running away it wasn’t very effective.”

“Best virgin pussy I ever had,” he smirked crudely. “Only virgin pussy.”


His gaze fell to my mouth before returning to my eyes. “Don’t push me, baby. I’ve never hurt a woman, but you might become the first. Now, where is my son?”

“Why? After all these years, why do you care now?” Surely he remembered what his last words to me had been.

“If you’d just waited until shit calmed down we could have fucking worked it out,” he growled. “But no, you ran as soon as things got tough.”
 
“Not as soon, Rock, three months had gone by without any word from you. How was I supposed to know that shit was going to calm down?” I asked, wiping my cheeks. “Your last words to me as I left the club that day were ‘good riddance’.”

“I know what I fucking said.” My stomach dropped at his confident smirk. “I’ve changed my mind, baby. You’ve had him for seven years, now it’s my turn.”

I’d always liked a woman with meat on her bones, which was probably why I always went to Marnie for a fuck when I was in the mood.

“Have you fucked him?” I snarled, moving up behind her.
 
She swung around against the refrigerator door. “How many, Rock?” she snapped between those pretty, plump lips. “How many women have there been since me? Huh?” She crossed her arms and stared up at me.

“Too many to count,” I lied, watching the hurt fill her eyes. Sure, I’d fucked a few women, club whores only, and they’d meant nothing more to me than a temporary relief.

Seeing Tom standing on the other side of the door had changed everything. Rock had only kissed me for effect, and not because he’d wanted me. He’d wanted Tom to see me with my lips swollen and my hair a mess so that he would get the wrong idea. And he had. The accusing hurt in his eyes had torn through me. I would never purposely hurt him.

“He’s going back to Maine with me, Allie, with or without you. So you’d better come to terms with that.”


I thought about Holly, the little black beauty who’d offered herself to me that first night. I’d been tempted. She would have been worth the hundred bucks. But Allie’s face kept interfering with my fucking libido, and I’d turned to whisky instead of pussy.

Anger and hurt had pushed her away, while I’d drowned my frustration in pussy and booze and a good fight every fucking chance I got. By the time I’d got my head out of my ass and asked Fox to start looking for her nearly five years had gone by. Too damned long I’d wasted on feeling sorry for myself.

I sighed heavily, thinking about the last seven years, and wondering how it would have been had I been patient and not moved away.

I’d take her from behind. This wasn’t about love. It was about animal hunger and raw lust. A startled sound escaped her, she struggled briefly.

“I’ve missed this.” This, not her. I couldn’t give her that kind of power. “I’ve missed fucking you.”
 
It was the truth. The club girls and hang arounds had never fully satisfied me.

“You didn’t use a condom.” Her tone was accusing and slightly bitter.
 
“I know I’m clean, and you said you haven’t been with anyone else.” It was a poor excuse, but I wasn’t sorry I’d fucked her bare.
 
“Yeah, well, that takes care of STDs.”
 
I frowned, not liking where this conversation was going. “Are you telling me that you aren’t on the pill?”
 
“That’s what I’m telling you.”
 
Fuck! “Why the hell not, Allie?” I could feel my anger rising now.
 
“Why should I, Rock? I never intended to get involved with anyone.

“You can’t have it both ways, babe.”  I wanted to slap the knowing smirk right off his face. “You don’t want to put out, I have to get it somewhere.”

“Too bad you took sex off the table, babe,” he said in a maddening tone that made me want to scream and lash out at him. “Good thing I remembered that before this went too far.” He released my wrists and stepped back. I was glued to the wall, breathing heavily and too stunned to speak. I watched him reach down and rub his hand over his hard-on. “Guess I’ll be seeing one of the club girls tonight.”

It’d been a while since I’d fucked a club girl. I hadn’t wanted to since finding Allie. But I was a man with needs, and if she was going to lock her pussy up, she couldn’t blame me for going elsewhere. There was no fucking way I was giving up pussy.


I shrugged. “Depends.”

“On what?”

“How many women it takes to satisfy my dick.”

“Why are you doing this, Rock? Why are you playing with me?”

“Because I can, babe.” I reached up and cupped her tit, squeezing it. “And you make it so fucking easy.”

Then why had he fucked me in Cedar Key?

Because he could.

Because I’d made it too easy for him.

Because, like some men, he thought with his cock.

“Don’t worry. I don’t go down on the girls at the club. Never know who’s been in their pussies before me.”

“You’re disgusting!” I hissed. “You’ve changed, Rock. You weren’t like this seven years ago.”

I reached down to adjust my dick, which had turned hard as fucking stone from thoughts of fucking Allie into a purring, satisfied kitten.

“Need help with that, baby?”  Shit, Marnie had seen me rearranging my dick.

“Why the fuck not? Come on.”

“Don’t do anything you’ll regret, brother,” Hawk called after me.

I waved him off and met Marnie at the end of the bar. Her smile went from ear to ear and I could already see the glaze of lust filling her eyes. She led the way to the back, opening a door that led to the liquor storage room.

“I’ve missed you, baby. Missed your big, fat cock.”

“Get your hands off me!” I snarled, pulling away from her and doing up my pants.

Marnie jumped to her feet, a look of shock and disbelief on her pretty face. “But−what did I do wrong?” I got the feeling that she wasn’t just asking about now. “It’s been so long, Rock. You used to touch me all the time. Fuck me all the time. I miss that, I miss you.”

I took in a breath, hoping Marnie behaved herself. Back in the beginning when Hawk had first showed up with Audra, I’d seen plenty of trouble between him and Sid.

“She was stabbed several times,” I heard Audra’s teary tone say. “We had to let the police know.”

I’d told her about Marnie, wanting her to understand that Marnie had been a club girl who’d thought that she had a claim on me. The only reason she’d been allowed into the house was because Cooper had known and trusted her. He hadn’t thought to check inside the box she’d said she had to deliver, which we’d found empty. Knowing that Marnie couldn’t hurt her again had reassured Allie, but it didn’t take away all of her fears.

I could blame Rock, too, but I didn’t. I knew there’d been other women in the seven years we’d been apart. That’s what club women were there for. The fact that he’d obviously favored Marnie left a hole in my heart. It felt like he’d found someone to replace me. It didn’t matter that she hadn’t meant anything to him, because Marnie had obviously thought he’d felt much more. And in my mind there had to have been something about her that made him single her out.

I FDNF this book! It was that bad for me.
I reached 34% and I just couldn't continue.
The girl aka Allie ran away from Maine, pregnant, and with no family ties apparently when she was 18 after her baby daddy aka Rock, a MC member said a bunch of hurtful stuff to her to the point he said she only got pregnant to trap him.

1st reaction:
description

He keeps tabs on her whereabouts and when life became too boring, he decided to get his son back as if he was a puppy not an actual human being. He also in the spur of the moment decided to get back with Allie because she is and I quote the hottest pussy he ever had.

2nd reaction: description


I was at 34% into it then finally gave up because to this point, Allie actually abandoned her life and moved back to Maine so Rock can be with his dad, they had sex (which was really hot, only good thing I have to say about this book) but she decided not to have sex again until they both discuss their future to which Rock says he's a man with needs so he leaves his house (oh yeah she moved to his house with her son) and would go to the MC house to get more pussy.

When I read that, I was like

description


Then I removed it from my device and decided to read a Penelope Douglas book.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me today.
I just keep yelling at my kindle.

The h is a HUGE doormat.
The H is an even bigger dick.
I just want to throat punch them both 🤦‍♀️

Sopping panties, lets him walk over her and fuck her in less than 24hrs after a 7 year separation that H causes and now blames her for it without taking any responsibility for his actions.

Did I mention she’s been with NO ONE since him?? 🤦‍♀️

Slightly better than the first. I think I'm having trouble with the FMCs from this author. They're just not written well at all and are just horny. When I'm reading MC I expect the H to be an ass. And he was here, but also proved himself in the end. The h acted like a cat in heat. Any angst that could have been was quickly extinguished which left me feeling bored unfortunately.

I love Tory Richards MC reads! So far, besides No Mercy, I've read:
~Wild Marauders MC: Lynch
~Dark Menace MC
~Phantom Riders MC - Hawk
~His Possession
~Carnal Hunger

and I've thoroughly enjoyed each & every one!

If you've never read a Tory Richards MC book and you crave the MC romance books as much as I do, you need to give it a go!

Follows the exact same formula as the other mc books I've read by her. This one is a second chance romance and I did enjoy that aspect of the story. I think my problem with this one was the story itself. It seemed she just threw in a few crazy events and called it a romance. I felt Rock and Allie got together too soon. I prefer a lot more push and pull. There were a few empty plot holes that were never explained. The steam was hot, but not as nearly hot as the first one in this series. If you like over the top alpha males, then this is your author.

Rock & Allie

Young love, unplanned pregnancy, harsh words & a 7 year separation. That's just the beginning of this journey & story. Lot more sexual scenes than the 1st book but still has MC brotherhood, families, intrigue, club classes, violence, retribution...recommend you read for yourself. (Reviewed by Lin)

First time reading by this author, written fairly well. My biggest problem was that there were too many OTT subplots and made for a convoluted reading. I was entertained and otherwise enjoyed the book.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! WOW! WHERE DO I START?
I'm not sure I know where to start. First I have to get this off my chest. I HATE ROCK! In the first book, Hawk and Audra's story, at first I thought Hawk was a hardened cold hearted SOB but you could see a hint of a softer side to him and Rock seemed both funny and kinda sweet but in this book Rock is completely different. Rock is the kind of guy you hate to love and love to hate and in the beginning he is such a arrogant asshole but that doesn't even begin to describe him. He's a Bastard toward Allie he treats her like dog shit on the bottom of his shoe. I wouldn't treat my dog the way he treated her. He was all pissed off at Allie because he missed out on 7 years of his son Sam's life but he's the one who had sex with an 18 year old virgin bareback then when she comes and tells him she's pregnant he loses it on her. He accuses her of trying to trap him and throws her out of the clubhouse and the last words he says to her is Good Riddance. Allie is a sweet beautiful young girl who had no family, no friends and she was devastated. She waited 3 months for Rock to change his mind and come back to her but he never does so she leaves and has to give birth and raise her son by herself with no help. But Rock keeps being such a Bastard to her and he won't leave her alone and keeps grabbing her and trying to f**k her just decides he's gonna control her life. AND SHE LETS HIM! AND she starts apologizing to him for leaving. He tells her he came looking for her eventually but she was gone and all she left him was a note. Well he didn't even deserve that! I was so pissed I almost quit reading it halfway through but decided to keep reading. He threatens her to take Sam from her and take him back with him and gives her no choice but to either come with them or lose Sam. So of course she goes to. She's so weak when it comes to Rock because she has never stopped loving him even though he treats her bad. I just kept thinking WTF? Is she ever gonna stand up for herself but instead she gives into him and they f**k each others brains out. In my head I was screamin and wanted to throw my Nook across the room. But the Smokin Hot sex kinda made up for it. Lol. Then eventually Rock started to redeem himself and started treating her better but he was so sweet to Sam. When things start to heat up with another MC that keeps attacking the Phantom Rider's and actually hurt a couple of their brothers. The whole time I kept thinking it was gonna turn out to have something to do with Tom, Allie's kind of boyfriend from Florida but I was shocked to find out who it was. The excitement gets so intense I was almost crying. Then there's Marnie. Wow, talk about a psycho. Lol. As time went on things got better and better. I loved how sweet the other old ladies were to Allie. I absolutely loved the ending and I wanted more. Lol. I highly recommend this series to everyone. Just remember if you think about putting it down and giving up. Don't, it definitely gets better. : )

DNF.

I don't care what your intentions are. You don't ever turn threatening a mother with taking her child against her wishes and obviously intending to act on the threat into a romance. That shit is not romantic. This is emotional and physical abuse (he chokes her for good measure) that leads to caving to one's circumstances, accepting them, and even identifying with the abuser. It's also known as Stockholm syndrome. Get a clue. Level of not okay: Four f-bombs in the first two sentences of the review, that's how bad this crap is.

If you like a controlling, dominant, alpha, then this one's for you. Overall the story was a pretty good read. However I did have some problems with the fact that 7 years passed before the H decides to go after the h and his child. Lots of hot, erotic, dirty sex along with some grit and suspense.

Rock is the VP of the Phantom Riders and all Alpha ass, but that's what's great about this, seeing his change that Allie brings out of him, but only for her he's still a force to be reckoned with in this page turning, fast paced, action filled story.

Loved it.

I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

I enjoyed the book....but

I had to skip the numerous sex scenes. I don't mind a bit but I could not handle these. The words they used were my hard no. I would skip and then go back to the story. I don't know if these were early work but I read the desert ones and I don't remember it being this bad. Anyway the story line was good so I gave 5 stars....sorry...I know y'all think I am a prude but I just couldnt....🙁

Great story

Didn't like the H in the beginning. He was such a douche. But the story got better and I started to love it. Will see if the third book in this series is as great as the first one.

Always a great read for me

I've read all of her MC books and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. This one is a second chance romance with plenty of action and loving. If you read Hawk and Audra's story, they make a return appearance as secondary characters. Looking forward to more in 2017!

Can’t decide if this one’s a omg I loved it or a just a omg. Lots more sex scenes than anything else really, thought Allie’s friend Tom might try to claim her but that didn’t really come to much. The attack from the BK MC was short lived in my opinion. Guess I was hoping for a lot more.
Re-read. Not as good as the first book. Not sure if I want to buy the 3rd book in this series

i've scored it a four but it is really closer to a 3.5. the male leads in these books are just too over the top and the women are far too accepting. the story arcs in each book are just too similar for a series ... although the situations vary each book seems to conform to a standard recipe. they are enjoyable to read though.
