I fought for my brothers.
I fought for my family.
I fought for my country.

Never realizing I might die for them too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Road to Nowhere, book 1 of 2. Creed Jensen’s reckless existence is rocked by Mia Ryder!

“Mia. Fuckin’. Ryder.
I would live and die…
For her.”

Books in the Road to Nowhere duet should be read in order:
Book 1: Road to Nowhere
Book 2: Ends Here

Road to Nowhere (book 1) is the opening to Creed Jensen’s story. Spanning over half a decade we follow the events that will come to shape Creed into a man; from heir to a biker chapter to enlisted and beyond…

Born into violence it’s a road filled with tragedy, devastation and destruction. But along the way he will encounter a spitfire of a girl, Mia Ryder, nine years old to his eighteen, who has the potential to be his downfall or his salvation… This is their against-all-odds love story!

Road to Nowhere, told from dual POV, offers the perfect mixture of angst, danger, violence and hopelessness but with hints of an epic love. It ends leading right to book 2 for the conclusion of their saga.

Excellent story-telling! Dark and heartfelt plot! Damaged and swoon-worthy Creed Jensen!

“I was already nailed to the cross. I was fucking born on it.”

A deep addictive visceral emotional book that leaves you yearning and wanting for more. Boundaries will be pushed, love will be on the line, hearts will be broken, lives will be lost, and raw emotions will be coursing through your veins. That’s right my fellow romance fans, M. Robinson has found her niche in the book community as an author who will continue to give you the unexpected and in her newest release, Road To Nowhere, she takes readers down the road where chaos, passion, grit, and forbidden love collides.

“Everything I had done, I had done for my family, for the MC, for her… I fought for my fucking brothers. I fought for my goddamn country. I fought for my girl. Never realizing… I might fucking die for them too. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that fucking shit. I once read that every warrior hoped a good death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.”



I know there are some readers who will be wary when they are introduced to Creed and Mia. The age gap might scare readers but trust me when I tell you this book is more than physical attraction but knowing that your soul, mind and heart are linked to one person only. And for Creed Jameson, his heart and whole being belonged to the young girl that showed him what real love and sacrifice entails.

“I should have stopped her. I should have told her no. I should have done something, anything… Except allow her to close the distance between us.”

Creed Jameson was born into a life where chaos, death, and more chaos are an integral part of his being. Nothing is handed to Creed as everything has to be earned. Honor, friendship, brotherhood, respect and love had to be earned but one thing that came easily was winning the heart of Mia Ryder since her heart and being belonged to him from the get go.

“Countless women had touched me the way she was right in that moment, more times than I cared to fucking count. This was different. This was so meaningful, so emotional, so goddamn loving. This was Mia. My Pippin.”

When a nine year old Mia meets Creed, who happens to be 18 years old for the first time, a spark was formed. Lines of lust, friendship and love begins to be drawn out. Two souls spoke to each other on a deeper level. So fast forward to a couple years later, when a mature and old soul Mia finds herself at a crossroad in her life, wanting to be with a man that is dangerous and yet gives her the kind of love and affection that no one can give.

“So much love. So much everything. He. Wanted. Me. “No more bullshit between us. You want to be kissed, touched, fucked,” he groaned against my lips. “Then I fuck you. I’m claimin’ you, Pippin. You’re fuckin’ mine.” And I was. I always had been.”

Although these two star crossed lovers belonged to one another, they both must face a rough and angsty journey. The road to happily ever after is never simple as family, friends, secrets, and the past are standing in their way. Can a man who has built his life on the open road find a home in a girl that has complicated written all over her?

“I know who you are, Mia Ryder. From the second I saw you, and I’ve loved ya every day since for it.”

While M. Robinson did her staple anti-hero and forbidden love aspect, she pushed readers to a whole new arena where emotions runs deep. These raw emotions are the very essence as to why Creed and Mia demanded your attention. Their love was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be a journey that takes you somewhere. And so are you ready to embark on that Road To Nowhere?

**2 STARS**

This one is tame, my blog has the good s**t... https://wp.me/p7ZSCH-14C
Let’s just right into this fuckery, shall we?!
This book is NASTY, just down right NASTY. You’re going to see me use the word, nasty, a lot. Fair warning!



There is no way in hell I could ever rock with a story that has a grown ass man finding some strange connection with a 9 year old little girl. I just can’t! I don’t care if this book was able to solve world peace, it’s not right to think about a 9 year old child when you go home at night. A 9 year old child should never, ever, ever be on a grown man’s mind.

I going to paint a little picture of Creed’s mindset here. Creed grew up surrounded by the Motorcycle Club life or MC if you will. His father was the president of their MC and was raising Creed to take his place. He was raising Creed to be a heartless murderer like he was. And he became actually that, a cold hearted killer.

Creed knew that the drugs, alcohol, killing, etc. was bad, but he loved every minute of it. He gave no fucks and enjoyed the MC lifestyle, especially the whores. By 18 he had already fucked his fair share of them.

Good didn’t want us.

And Hell would spit us the fuck out.

Let’s now have Mia – the 9 year old girl enter the picture. He runs into her at a beach and they talk, she develops a crush and he develops a need to protect her. Why? I don’t know. He doesn’t even know the kid. But he does go home and think about her. He goes home and thinks about a 9 year old CHILD!!!!!! NASTY!!!!!



Creed grew up with one of our heroines, Autumn. She should have been the only heroine, considering she was the only one of legal age. But we will get into that later.

Let us all give a round of applause for Creed, as he knew he was no good for Autumn.

Autumn needed a man that would always put her first. She was need as all hell, always had been. I couldn’t provide her with that anymore, it was an offer that would never be on my table for us. My priority was the club, Noah, and my mother. I didn’t have the time to be the man she thought I was, the man she deserved. It fucking exhausted me just thinking about it, let alone being that person for her.

I didn’t let that stop her from flirting with me, though. – Creed.

Oh, well aren’t you just sweet. Knowing you don’t want to be with the girl but leading her own anyway. The man of my dreams. I resend my applause.

Autumn ass wasn’t any better, letting this piece of shit walk all over her. Because Autumn and Creed grew up together he did try not sleep with her for a while but they still acted like a couple for a few years. This was more of a one sided relationship, though. Autumn wasn’t sleeping with anyone while Creed was fucking the whole city. And what made is worse was that Autumn still hung around like a sad puppy dog.

But wait for it…

When he did finally sleep with Autumn, all he felt was regret.

“I love you,” she sleepily said, coming down from her high. Falling asleep.

Bringing me back to reality.

That I just fucked up.

By. Fucking. Her. – Creed

All the while, Mia is wishing Creed would look at her in a sexual way. I believe she was 10 year old by now.

The way he looked at her hurt my stomach, hurt my heart, and I didn’t understand why. I looked down at my girly dress, all of the sudden not feeling good enough. I wanted to look like her. I wanted to be her. If that’s what it took for Creed to look at me the way he looked at her” – Mia

What the hell?! Is that what we are doing now? Having little girls wanting to be sexually desired by grown ass men? I must be really old because I totally missed that memo.

Let’s not forget how she was noticing his body like she was a grown ass woman.

His jeans hung low on his hips, revealing his boxer’s underneath. I couldn’t help but realize how much more defined his body looked now that he wasn’t lying down. He loomed over my small frame in a way I never recognized before. My heart started racing, I could feel it ringing in my ears. Feeling as though he could hear it too, but there was no expression on his face, making it hard to know what he was thinking.

Neither one of us spoke. – Mia

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She’s a child. You can’t be writing stuff like that and call it romance.

Oh, wait it’s not romance, its dark romance. I guess that makes it okay.



If you read El Diablo you know that Mia gets pregnant by Creeds little brother, Noah. You see, Noah took Mia’s virginity after Creed turned her down after a night of dry fucking each other. But after being a bit pissed off about all that they decided that are finally going to be together. At this point she is 16 years old.

At least M. Robinson waited for them to have sex at 16 years old. She was of legal age of consent in the state of North Carolina.



It's still NASTY though, IMO.

I didn't like this book, I won't be reading the next one either. I can not support things like this. Sorry, not sorry.

Please excuse me while I throw up...



TTYL... This book has given me a headache.

5 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that fucking shit. stars



I must admit, I was kinda scared, Creed didn't have the best reputation's coming in, I heard he was gonna put me through the ringer making me hate him, love him and forgive him ... over and over again. But honestly how could I hate the man, living the life he lived, no one should blame him.



In a fucked up world full of bullshit and lies, there was only one who made it all worth livin...

Mia Ryder… Mia. Fuckin’. Ryder.

Wise beyond her years, fearless and as sweet as can be, she made even the dirtiest souls clean with just her smile. And it's always been her throughout the years that's been his beacon of light, guiding and anchoring him...not matter how much he wants to deny it.

“Gave you your first kiss, now stop fuckin’ bitchin’.”

Road to Nowhere is like all M. Robinson's tales, strong story building giving you the history you need to make you fall in love, suck you in and keep you prisoner. I can't say much without giving anything away, like all of M. Robinson's stories you gotta live and breath it, through each word, on each page. The story starts with a soft burn, a delicious tease that draws you in and the next thing you know the ending comes barreling in. So full of angst, drama, heat, pain, love and hope; you have to take it as it is and not over analyze it all.

One thing is for sure, M. Robinson chose the PERFECT cover model for Creed, he was all I could see in every scene. The story is told from both their POV, getting into their head and really making you feel what they feel and experience it as you should. And as I wish I could say their story is tied up nice and tight in a big pretty bow, it does continue on, but she promises not to make us wait too long. Highly recommended for all my angst-lovin' friends!

2.5 Stars



Well this was… fun. Angst whores will have a field day with this book. It was like watching a train wreck - you want to look away, but you can't.



The beginning of the story was awesome and totally unexpected but the rest was a total mess: from the MC club business (which I loved) to some military action, the 9/11 tragedy, taboo sex scenes, lots of family drama and constant heartbreak (which I didn't love). It felt as if the author tried to squeeze in one book as many horrible things as possible to make it angstier and more tragic. And that’s the reason why this book went from a 5-star read to a solid, but not so perfect 3-star read.

The writing style and the characterization were okay. Although I can’t really say that I loved the characters. I won’t even bother to write what I thought of the heroine. She’s just another smart child ahead of her time who happened to meet her (non)match.

And yes, including a 9-year-old girl’s chapters into the book was totally unnecessary in my opinion. I wouldn’t say it was creepy (although it should be). I just can't see the point. Those chapters did nothing to convince me of the hero and heroine's epic connection. What exactly did those two have in common? Except that they ran into each other a few times and exchanged a few words.

I liked the hero in the beginning but somewhere between the first and the last chapter he went from this:



to this:




Autumn was irritating as hell. Whiny, hysterical, clingy, stubborn.



And then there were a shit ton of other characters from the author’s previous books which I hadn't read. A lot of them didn’t have any significant role in this book.

Overall, this was a very angsty read with eye-roll-inducing moments here and there. I didn’t particularly like the story but the writing style was gripping and intense.

When I start a book by M. Robinson I know a few things…. first of all, I know it will probably be a bit OTT yet addictive. Secondly, I know there will probably be a broken/damaged character. Road to Nowhere has all of these things and more. Mia and Creed’s story is one that will suck you in when you start reading and hold your attention 100%.



Creed and Mia first meet when Creed is 18 and Mia is 9. Though nothing happens between them until much later, know that there is a fairly significant age gap between them. Their story spans 7 years and you get a lot of what goes in on their lives during that time, especially Creed’s. Mia has loved Creed from the first time she met him. They have a special bond. I don’t want to give too many spoilers on their story- trust me, you just need to read it to get the full impact! 



This book was sort of a crossover book between El Diablo and The Good Ol’ Boys. You get to see characters from both. Of course it has the Devil’s Rejects MC so lets talk about that. The MC part of this book was on the gritty side and I actually loved that. Gritty biker books are the most realistic for me and the best kind. For a while it turns into more of a military romance, and there is a lot going on. Normally, I think this would be too much, but in some way, the author makes it work. I liked all the characters in this book, and after the craziest ending ever, I think we’re all dying to know what happens next!

This book was like a train wreck, and I just couldn’t look away. It is a forbidden love story, an MC book, and a total angst fest tied up into one crazy book! Once again M. Robinson gave us an over the top, yet highly entraining read. One thing I can say about this author and these books, as crazy as they can be, they are unputdownable. Once you start this one, be prepared to be completely enamored with it. If you think you can handle this crazy ride, pick up Road to Nowhere.

[❥ KAT ❥ Kitty Kats Crazy About Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been a HUGE fan of M.Robinsons since the beginning of time so I know even without a doubt that this is going to be as epic as all her previous books, if you've not discovered this epically talented author she's one of my most highly recommended one click authors.

I'll try my hardest to make this review as spoiler free as possible, so this will sort of be a no frills review, I highly recommend this, I've read a shitload of bikers books but this one would have to be one of my most favourite ones to date. God don't get me started on the feels. Every feel this author could throw at me she did, the angst, the emotional turmoil, the love I felt for these characters, that feeling of falling as I slipped over that cliffy, the feeling of such loss as I finished that last page when I had to say goodbye to these characters until next time. My life was put on hold whilst I was transported into Creed's world.

ROAD TO NOWHERE: Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives,' this is Creed's and Mia's story.

BACKGROUND BRIEF: M.Robinson has done it again by incorporating the characters from The Good Ol' Boys series and El Diablo into Road To Nowhere so it's like a trip down memory lane. The ending of El Diablo is where we were briefly introduced to Creed, he's the oldest of two brothers, Luke and Noah, and since he took his first breath he was groomed to become President of the 'Devils Rejects.'
Mia is Bo and Half Pints one and only daughter who we were introduced to in the Complicate Me series.



In the first character we're introduced to seventeen year old 'Creed' who is striving to become a prospect for the 'Devil's Rejects' as soon as he turns the rightful age of eighteen, son to one of the most hardened notorious Presidents of the mother chapter which fast became one of the most feared clubs within the North Carolina district.

This book embodies exactly what a biker book should be like, straight away you're thrown into the gritty world of club life, what it's like to be under the thumb of a father who rules with an iron fist and expects his sons to follow in his footsteps.

We encounter happy go lucky Creed with the world at his feet and club bunnies falling to their knees just to get a taste of him, when in the blink of an eye his world is surrounded by darkness, sorrow and nightmares that follow his every waking breath.



Then as soon as his eighteenth birthday arrives he was patched in as a full fledged brother into the 'Devils Rejects.' where his life was planned out from his first breath by his father.

The next chapter in Creeds life we're introduced to a nine year old spit fire with a sassy mouth and dressed in pink from head to toe Mia, what comes out of her mouth is hilarious, many a time I caught myself giggling. As soon as she met Creed she claimed him as her friend, it just took him a wee bit longer to get there. But like any determined little girl she wormed her way in birthday by birthday.

Sick of losing too many loved ones Creed and his bestie Mason (Mia's oldest brother) join the Military fighting another cause close to Creed's heart.



I was trained to kill. I was trained not to ask questions. I was trained to turn off my last bit of humanity. But no amount of training prepared me for the things I was forced to witness.

Leaving the military behind him you would think that would be the end of living life on the edge, think again, things just heated up.

Ashes to Ashes..Dust to Dust..And all that fucking shit..



The friendship Mia developed with Creed from the age of 9 years old when he was the only person that never treated her like a baby developed over time into love, from the time when she'd give him patches for his cut, to writing letters on his deployment to more, a slow burn love.

This book ticked ALL my BOXES given that it was an MC read And it being one of my top genres I read, throw in whom the author is and it just sweetened the deal. Add in the dark, the grit, the angst, the emotional turmoil and I was in my happy place. I can't get enough of this author, she just delivers time and time again.

* The only spoiler I'll divulge is that there is a major cliff hanger at the end of this, but the author has promised we won't have long to wait for the next book in this series. *

"There would be no coming back from this."

Road to Nowhere is the first book in the Road to Nowhere Series. It is the story of Creed and Mia. Mia is the daughter of a good ol' boy, and Creed is the member of an MC who does business with Alejandro Martinez otherwise known as el diablo. Therefore, although this can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading it after reading El Diablo and The Good Ol' Boys Series. The characters are so richly blended that you won't want to miss the history that exists between the characters.

"I wasn't a goddamn saint, never claimed to be, and at the end of the day, she knew I wasn't."

Creed is the son of the Devil's Reject president. As a prospect for the club, Creed has seen more and experienced more than any young man should have seen and done. Trying to balance the work in the club and taking care of his mom and two younger brothers, Creed is in constant chaos. The abuse of his father and the violence of the club cause Creed to experience heartbreak and loss that he will never recover from. As the story progresses and several years pass, Creed continues his work in the MC and serves in the US Military over in Iraq. The only constant in his life has been the love and adoration he has for Mia.

"One day I'd meet my prince, and I'd have my perfect night too."

Mia is a spunky young girl who loves to surf and lives life to the fullest. When she meets Creed, her older brother's friend, she is instantly drawn to him. Although he is much older and from the wrong side of the tracks, Creed and Mia form a friendship. Years of stolen moments and letters transform into a lasting bond between the two. Although the age difference is great and they are from completely different worlds, can these two find a way to be together?

"An eye for an eye. Was all I'd ever fucking known."

Told in dual POV, Road to Nowhere is a heartbreaking story. Creed is such a damaged hero, and his losses have made him cold and hard. Mia is a young girl from a loving family who offers Creed a kindness and goodness that he has never experienced before. When Creed rejects Mia, Mia turns to the comfort of another which causes another sequence of heartbreaking events to occur. In true M. Robinson style, the angst level is high as Mia is only ten years old when she meets Creed. Creed is a man and acts as a man in an MC would. In addition to the age difference, the contrast between the families of Mia and Creed could not be greater. I thoroughly enjoyed the glimpses of my favorite good ol' boy characters and their family life. The pacing in the writing is steady but be forewarned the time span is great. Ms. Robinson captures the true essence of a gritty MC club and finds beauty in the most broken places. Creed and Mia are truly only just beginning.



Road to Nowhere ends in quite a cliffy so be forewarned, Mia and Creed have a long way to go before they find their happily ever after. M. Robinson remains the Queen of Angst with this heartbreaking and beautiful tale. So have your tissues and a bottle of wine ready before you begin this journey!

Overall Opinion: This is a tough one to rate. I struggled a lot with the pacing tbh. I even got to the point that I got back on GR to read other people's reviews because I was so confused as to who the h was! I felt like there are a lot of similarities in this book to El Diablo, and unfortunately they are the things that bothered me about that one too. It dragged at times, there is a lot about the H and his life without the h (including his life and relationship with OW), and there was just too much time wasted between the h and H for me to experience and connect with as a reader. They have short interactions throughout the book, but it wasn't nearly enough to connect with. I was also confused by the abrupt change in the H at the end. He was anti-relationship for majority of the book, and then at around 96% he's decided he wants a relationship?!? I just didn't get it. This ends on a cliffhanger!. I didn't notice anyone mention this before I started it, so I was a little bummed about that when I found out. Honestly, I'm not quite sure if I'll continue with this because it was just meh for me *shrugs*.

**Please note: All of my spoilers in this review are BIG SPOILERS, so please do not click on the spoiler tag if you do not want it ruined**

Brief Summary of the Storyline: I'll keep this brief, because it's hard to explain without giving it all away. This is Mia and Creed's story. They meet when Mia is 9 and Creed is 18. They connect instantly when Mia recognizes that Creed is sad and tries to cheer him up. They form a bond that remains through the ~6 years that the story takes place, and they always have the other on their minds when living their lives separately and only seeing each other every once in a while. Once Mia grows up and is no longer the pig-tailed sassy little girl she once was, they can no longer deny their attraction and big changes are made in their relationship.

POV: This alternated between Mia and Creed's POV.

Overall Pace of Story: My biggest complaint about the book. I skimmed here and there because I was bored at times, and the majority of the book was not about the h and H.

Instalove: No, but instant connection.

H rating: 3 stars. Creed. He was ok. I felt bad for his past traumas, but I also felt like he was his own worst enemy at times.

h rating: 4.5 stars. Mia. I really liked her! She was sassy and strong, and I loved the way she didn't take the H's crap! Little Mia cracked me up too :)

Sadness level: Low/moderate. Personally, I didn't need any tissues or tear up at all. It covered some heavy themes, but I wasn't invested enough to get emotional over them.

Push/Pull: Yes As they meet through the years, the H is constantly pushing the h away. The h is the main pursuer in the relationship.

Heat level: Moderate. They don't get together until late in the story, but there are scenes that were pretty decent.

Descriptive sex: Yes

Safe sex: Yes. Condoms are mentioned. I don't remember mention of birth control, std status, or previous practices for the H (or OM).

OW/OM drama: Yes The H has a childhood friend that has loved him for a long time. She starts making moves on him, and eventually they get together. He pushes her away, and she ends up dying on 9/11 when she is in the twin towers with her father. The h loses her virginity to OM (after getting turned down by H) who she later finds out is the H's younger brother. She ends up pregnant from this interaction.

Sex scene with OW or OM: Yes There are a few scenes with the H and a few different OW. We experience a bj, threesome, and him with the OW that he was serious about.

Cheating: No

Separation: Yes They are separated for majority of the book. They both had other partners (the h only with one OM, and H Is with many).

Possible Triggers: Yes Accidental shooting and killing of a sibling, manwhore H, mc violence/killing, significant age difference (9 years and she is underage), drug use, loss of a significant other, 9/11, and unexpected pregnancy.

Closure: This ends on a major cliffhanger! I'm not sure if I'll read the next book or not, but I am curious as to how the rest of their story will play out.

How I got it: I got it on loan through booklending.com

Safety: I'd call this one Not Safe

- Does Not have cheating
- Does have more than one descriptive sex scene with H and OW (more than one)
- Does have the H pushing the h away
- Does have more than one separation between the h and H
- Does Not have abuse
- Does Not have OTT sad parts IMO (See sadness section above)
- Does Not have a HEA ending and ends on a cliffhanger

“She came into my life like a Fucking hurricane, destroying everything in her path. A girl from the right side of the tracks,….. Falling for a man like me.”



I have been not so patiently waiting for Creed and Mia’s story and I knew that Monica was going to give me an angst filled, crazy twisted story that would leave me begging for more. Whatever you think is going to happen in this book, whether it’s your gut feeling or that little voice in your head that’s saying “I know already!. Do me a favor and tell that voice to shut the fuck up because it doesn’t know.

I felt like someone put me on a roller-coaster ride without my permission and at the end of it, that very same person oh so slowly turns me around and tells me we’re just getting started. Do you run or just sit back and enjoy the crazy ride? I’ll tell you what I did, and it didn’t involve running track because lucky for me, I’m a fan of crazy.

Creed Jameson was born into the MC. Knowing the club rules before he made it to the double digits, he knew it was only a matter of time before those same rules will be applying to him as well. Always having to follow his old man’s orders, Creed knows that being a part of the club life is only going to get harder and as he moves up in the ranks, so does his body count.





“Patience was never one of my fucking virtues. It was a Jameson trait that ran deep in my blood. I determined the who, what, when, and where in life. Anyone who didn’t approve could go fuck themselves.”

Mia Ryder has always been a little spitfire. From beating all of the boys in surfing, to voicing her own opinion about everything, to say she’s one of a kind is an understatement. Falling for a tattooed biker at nine years old and knowing without a doubt that he’s going to change your life, has Mia wishing she was already an adult. But some things can’t be helped and Creed and Mia’s journey was filled with heartache, loss, and a timeless romance years in the making.

I’ve always admired how this author could make the timeline in her stories feel so efficient and the way she’s always managed to make the characters childhood such a pivotal point in time. Her execution was flawless and I loved knowing how these characters felt at such a young age. Even though I didn’t agree with everything, I understood their reason. Creed was an intense hero and seeing his interactions with Mia and how she brought out a completely different side to him, had me wanting to stay in their bubble just a little bit longer.

Want to know how this story ends and if Creed and Mia get their happily ever after? Read the book because I’m not telling you!!

[Snow · Rating 3 out of 5]

yeah, I had plans to read this one in a nick of time!

sometimes, plans go to shit...



So, now that I have finished reading this story, I m actually quite conflicted...

And yeah, well sometimes my expectations go to shit too...

I mean M. Robinson writes phenomenally, she has a talent for psychological and emotional clusterfucks, and she delivers them with a flip of her fingers...or well, it's a matter of speech...lol...

and I bloody love that about her!

Uf, anyway...I really can't and won't review this book as a whole cause I have a feeling, a nagging itchy shitty notion that certain segments did not work for me and then certain segments were perfect BUT as I think about them, they don't fit together...and putting them together won't make things better but it won't make them worse either....

So, I'll state my issuses and impressions separately.

I loved...emotional tearing apart of the main character Creed Jameson , a young man who tried to man up in a world that didn't really bring any worth or substence and yet the only anchor he had were his younger brothers and his mother and having an idiotically disgusting piece of shit of a father didn't help his case, unfortunatelly.

So, he did his best and yet his best wasn't good enough. Trying to find a self-meaning in a world without any sense is a futile attempt...and when you are surrounded by killing...and the smell of death, the little good is hard to find...

I thought fighting for something I believed in would make me a good man.
In the end, it never mattered. I would always be on the wrong side of the tracks, and they would always lead me to the wrong station.

So, when he meets at the age of 18 a little 9 year old girl with a sassy, witty beyond her age smart mouth Mia Ryder
It will bring him comfort knowing that smth good and innocent still exists in this fucked up world.

And now we come to the part when their "bond" of friendship turns into the attraction...cause well he's just a guy and she's a tempting flourishing girl/young woman...

My thoughts on that: "Get the fuck out of here"

So, yeah you guessed the part I thought was poorly executed, described, only made me think of him-as a caveman who can't control his dick (when I had a chance to visualize Creed as totally complex layered emotionally complicated character, it fucking pains me to see him brought to that low primal simplicity for what? ) and well, this overly protected little girl turned into a hormonally fueled rebel seeking for life experiences and then majory fucking up, making a rash mistake that will change course of not only her life, but the lives of others who are now involved whether they liked it or not.

And then the reactions of both characters were stooped so low as they are acting as immaturely as possible...not to mention that now they are sexually active at age of 16 and him age 25 (but it's ok, cause the state of North Carolina states the age of 16 as legal consent)

And I say: "Get the fuck out of here."

Yeah, still my sour spot...

I really didn't expect the story going that way, in fact, the way it started I thought I would even overlook the whole MC fuckery and club whores and all that shit cause of the promising notion of an epic love story that would at least wait until she's fucking legal *sigh* but nooooo....

So, my final words will be the same as these fuckers memento prayer

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and all that fucking shit.

3 stars mainly for the first part of the book and yeah, cause my Alejandro Martinez aka El Diablo my ultimate gangster badass ruthless fucker makes a cameo appearance.

*****5 Oh, Creed Stars*****

"“Every day I found myself at the train tracks by the clubhouse, wanting nothing more than to just disappear. Finding myself in the middle of nowhere, relishing the freedom.
Waiting...
Thinking...
Contemplating...
The past. The present. The future.
Then. Now. Forever.
My fucking life.
Wishing I could get on the next train and never look back. But it was just that. A wish. A glimmer of hope outside of the bullshit that was my life.”



"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a a memory no one can steal."

Oh, CREED! The majority of this story is about Creed and his past! The devastation, heartache, inhumane things that he has seen or done has formed him into the man he is today! We get to live and breathe that life with him! I really enjoyed the way that M wrote this book! Instead of focusing on the history of both Mia and Creed she focuses mainly on Creed! So we get a very solid foundation laid out for his character! Which, I'm not complaining!!! I'll take more of Creed anyday!! I mean, refer to photo above please!!! Enough said!

"You ain't even gonna remember me." "I'll always remember you." ❤️

For everyone who has read a M. Robinson book before you know what to expect going in! She is the Queen of Angst and Collector of Tears for a reason! You will want to take some Dramamine for the emotional rollercoaster that she always takes us on! Lol! I don't want to give any spoilers about this story so I'll just break it down in gifs for you!













There you go! There's the book! We do have a forbidden love story thrown into the mix with an age gap and drama! We get the Good Ole Boys!!!! Oh, how I have missed them all!! Dylan is MINE!!! Oh, I forgot to say....guess what?!! There's a MAJOR CLIFFY!!!!! Whoop! Whoop! We all love those!! She couldn't mess with our emotions enough with this one! She had to throw in the biggest cliffhanger yet!! Thanks, M! We have a love/hate relationship going on here now! If you have read the Good Ole Boys and El Diablo im sure I don't even need to convince you! You have probably already 1-Clicked! But if you haven't read M. Robinson I highly recommend you read the Good Ole Boys series as well! It's one of my all time favorites and this story is actually about the daughter of the couple from the first book in that series!

“I would learn through the years that Mia Ryder...
Mia. Fuckin’. Ryder.
I would live and die...
For her.”

“I love you,” she said out of nowhere, almost knocking me on my ass. “I’ve always loved you.”

“I know who you are, Mia Ryder. From the second I saw you, and I’ve loved ya every day since for it.”

PS. This book is not for the faint of heart or people who are sensitive about certain subjects. Let's just say that M is not afraid to broach into any territory!

I can’t remember the last time I sat down and read a book from start to finish in one night, but I couldn’t stop Road to Nowhere if I tried. It starts off with huge emotions and broke my heart. I immediately felt so badly for Creed and wanted to see him find some peace. Then I met Mia and just wanted to know how this girl, nine years younger than Creed would play into the story. The story spans over 6 years and doesn't skip any huge gaps in time.

I couldn’t have predicted this story and I don’t even want to give away too much for free of spoiling it. So I will just say this story which is a crossover between Good Ol Boys and The Devil Series, sort of. Mia is Lucas and Half Pint’s daughter and Creed’s MC is related to Martinez. So even though this was the first in the Road to Nowhere series you immediately felt at home if you read the other books.

Creed is completely broken and damaged, but reading his point of view I was able to see his redeeming qualities. Then we have Mia and she was so adorable, outspoken and completely sassy you could easily fall in love with her. Mia has a crush on Creed from the very beginning, but Creed is much older and only sees Mia has a kid until she is older. Let me tell you as the story progresses it gets crazy, very quickly!

This story takes you on a ride like no other and yes it’s over the top, HOWEVER I couldn’t put it down. I was reading this book, watching my percentage get closer to 100% and not wanting the story to end. Robinson delivered an addictive, unpredictable, unputdownable story and I can’t wait to read Mia and Creed’s conclusion. I mean can’t wait, can’t wait, need it ASAP!

I don't know what to feel!


I cried at this book (and that rarely happens at romances, they're all just so predictable!)!

I liked this book because it made me feel all kinds of stuff. From happiness to sadness, to annoyance to proudness (is that a word?).


What I didn't like was the age difference, it just didn't feel right so early on. It's probably not a big problem for most people, and in the end, it wasn't for me either, but it still feels a bit weird.

Anyway, this book surprised me a lot and I really like that. It's definitely someting entirely different than what you're expecting. I've never read a book like this and, despite the things I didn't really liked, there were so many that I absolutely loved!

It ends in a cliffhanger though, so be prepared for that.

Worth reading.

SPOILERS SPOILERS

The H is a huge manhoooar and we see him with many ow in the book. The h also is with om, but only 1 compared to his many.

I saw a reel with the author stating she loves writing sex scenes that have the H with ow because she gets to have the H do freaky sh*t he wouldn’t do with the h…

Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth

Like…

Personally, I wouldn’t wanna see the H do freaky sh*t with ow… I wanna see him do it with the h, not ow 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does that mean when he DOES get with the h, their sex life will pale in comparison to what he’s done with ow?

I don’t know. But I’d like to think that what he does with the h is not only special, but freaky, so that he wouldn’t get bored and mess up their HEA.

This book wouldn’t be for me anyway, but I just felt 🥴 after that reel 🥴

But that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I fall in love with Miss Robinson since I read El Diablo. Miss Robinson signature twisted plot is unapologetic and toward the end it gets really dramatic.

My heart breaks for Creed. There is just so much a man can take. I am surprise he still have a fight in him to live. Mia is a sassy smart mouth girl who is much more mature for her own age. Mia is the opposite of Creed. She took lemon out of life and made a lemonade. Her spirit is strong.

The book ends with cliffhanger. I can not wait for the next book.

☆☆☆☆ INFINITE "PIPPIN" STARS ☆☆☆☆

No words can express how this book is articulately and excellently written. Hands down to Monica Robinson as this book is not just beautiful and addictive but brilliantly portrayed I have no words to describe as I finished the book except EPIC AND MASTERPIECE!

If you'll gonna ask me what's my best book hangover this year, I will definitely say Road To Nowhere. Everything from start to finish is just hooked and engrossed worthy. I haven't slept for a night because I really cannot put the book down literally. My mind was racing, I have been gutted even at at few first pages of the book and my emotions are just ALL OVER THE PLACE. There's no denying I have anticipated this book highly, I even prepared stack of Kleenex, a wine and even chocolates but still nothing prepared me for what I read.This is roller coaster ride of emotions to the next level. And to be honest, this book made me changed my emotion as quick as a speed of light. See? As a reader, I feel like I'm some sort of someone with emotional disorder to the nth level. I was so insanely just captivated with it that even a slight change of scene or emotion, my emotions too quickly changed.Evident/proof alone how Monica's writing can affect her readers. And I'm loving it. Love me or hate me but everything I must say is LOVE worthy.

Set in an MC world, I have appreciated that right from the beginning we are already exposed to the dirty and gritty side of that lifestyle. Knowing Creed set to follow his father's footsteps just heightened my interest in the book. And then BOOM! A tragic scene was introduced and I was like, I forgot to place "a thick cover" for my reader because that certain point already made me sob so hard and devastated me. I was pained all over and the angst is just too much. It was so raw portraying the fear and tragedy at the same time. But it kept me going. Talk about glutton for punishment and that's me in Monica Robinson's torturous and evil way of a writing a book with a scene so powerful and raw. And then, entered young Mia that really stole my heart. I was so in awe with her character and I love her stat the moment she was introduced. I love her courage and her sassy character. Call me crazy but right at the very moment I am looking forward to more of her interactions with Creed. Oh Creed..the man I was rooting for. The broken man I was loving so dearly. It pained me and hurt me so much of what he went through. More than anybody else, he's more worthy to fall in love and to feel loved. This broken yet bad-ass biker with a dirty talking mouth just OWNED me BODY and SOUL.Call me sick but I love a forbidden love affair. And what a forbidden love story was Creed and Mia's journey. It maybe wrong to think about it but My God there was nothing wrong to it. The way it was written will just suck you right into the story and will make you loving whatever taboo and forbidden scenes Monica will deliver to you.

And I did. I was loving it too much that it became a part of me. I love the delicious and forbidden way it was delivered. I even love more the fact that my anticipation was built up with every words and lines delivered. Gah! The angst and the feels of this story will burn you. It was just too much but perfect in a way you are wanting for more. I can't really imagine what I went through reading Road To Nowhere. It was killing me slowly and I love the slow burn feel I was experiencing while reading it. The twists and the turns of the events kept me in the edge. Above all, I love how this book really made me feel.It was so raw, powerful, intense. Gah! It was EVERYTHING!

Now go, stop what you are doing . Grab your copies and take a ride with Creed and Mia. I'm telling you, you'll not gonna regret it. It was so great of a book and in true Monica's fashion, she'll deliver you the most ass-hole hero you do not know you'll love or hate but will love anyway and a heroine so fun and courageous. More than that, she will deliver you a story that you will never forget and make you feel all emotions known to man. You will laugh now, cry the next, feel so turned on the second and then to angry and screaming and crying again to swooning and then back to turned on panties is never an option. Just prepare yourself though, but then forget about it because nothing will prepare you with Road To Nowhere.

In my case, It Fuckin' ruined me and I will not want it any other way.

[CeCe · Rating 1 out of 5]

Major spoilers.

I was excited to start this one, but was really disappointed. I wanted a story with angst and pain. I also wanted a story with a bad boy and especially in a MC. BUT I wanted a true love story. One love that both felt even if it was taboo love.

Mai is the heroine.
Creed is the hero.

Things I hated:
That Mia was the one chasing and trying to get the hero's attention.
Then there is the hero's feelings for Autumn. Autumn is not the heroine. Autumn is a woman that Creed is involved with. The whole thing with Autumn and the pining Creed does for her...yuck. I hate when the hero pines for another woman and I hate when the hero has "feelings" for another woman.
Creed rejects Mia. So at a MC party, Mia loses her virginity to some random guy. Later she discovers she is pregnant. UGH!!

This is not for me. After all that happened, it did not feel like love. A little too late for the "I care for you" nonsense. I have to add, even before all this "garbage" and manufactured drama that happened, the writing did not grab my attention.

This is my opinion. You may love it. I am not telling you not to read it.

***4,5 "My Pippin'!!!" stars***

******************************
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
******************************

Well, for once again I'm speechless!!!
I adore Mrs. Robinson's stories and I'm never satisfied because I always want more and more, especially from this bunch that i love so deeply (I mean the Good Ol' boys and the "El Diablo", in case you didn't know that they're all connected between them, so i will propose to read them in the right order, not that you can not read them seperately but it will be better to take them from the beginning!!!)!!!!

First of all, i thank God that the second book is already published because I don't think i could handle to wait for the second book, especially after that ending!!!!
Secondly, God I'm such a masochist!!! From the beginning until the end of every story by M.Robinson, I'm having a sweet ache, a desperation for our heroes to find their salvation and they keep doing huge mistakes and I'm still hold on to hope, even though my heart is breaking over and over again....

This was mostly Creed's story and we took a little bit pieces from Mia's life too...
Creed was a very tortured hero (my favorite kind!!!)....
He was a bad boy with lots of tattoos, he was borned and raised in an MC club and he had witnessed many atrocities in a very tender age...
As he was growing up, he was taking blow after blow and he had the idea that his life was leading in a road to nowhere...
He didn't know that one day, his little Pippin' with her sassy attitude will own his heart...

"I would learn through the years that Mia Ryder…
Mia. Fuckin’. Ryder.
 
I would live and die…
For her."

Mia was Alex and Lucas's daughter from the first book of the "Good Ol' Boys" series- "Complicate me"...
She was their little girl and she was always so protected...
Mia from a very early age, she had a crush on Creed, a boy much older than her and from the wrong side of the track...
But her young heart wanted only him, even though that he was refusing that there was a connection between them...

“She came into my life like a fucking hurricane, destroying everything in her path.
A girl from the right side of the tracks...
Falling for a man like me.”

And then Mia got older and things got complicated even more than before...
The mistakes were huge and unforgivable from both sides...
Will these two will manage one day to put aside their differences and follow their hearts???
Will they forgive each other's mistakes???
Or will it be very late for that to happen???

“You ain’t even gonna remember me.”
“I’ll always remember you.”

God, I loved both Creed and Mia...
Together, they were like fire and gazoline and I can't wait to see where their story will end up...
They deserve happiness, but I'm afraid that the road to salvation will be very long and hard for our heroes....
I'm just wishing that their love will be strong enough and that they will handle together anything that life will throw into their way...

“No more bullshit between us. You want to be kissed, touched, fucked... Then I fuck you. I’m claimin’ you, Pippin. You’re fuckin’ mine.”

Mia was such a funny little girl.... Such a spitfire, like her mother was once upon a time...
Her father was very protective of his little girl and that isn't always good, because Mia was missing things and when she found the opportunity, she made a big mistake that changed her life and made things bad for her and her greatest love....

“I love you,” she said out of nowhere, almost knocking me on my ass. “I’ve always loved you.”

Creed had lived too many shitty things... You have to be very strong to handle all those things and i think that he did his best, even though that he was dying inside of him...
After too many losses, his only light was this little girl who was making him laugh all the time and that he was giving him patches to add to his cut...
So, when she grew up, it was impossible for him to not see the change, but he couldn't destroy the only pure and innocent person in his life, even though that he was dying for a taste of heaven...
I totally understood his hesistations, but they led in a road full of pain...

"Everything I had done, I had done for my family, for the MC, for her…
I fought for my fucking brothers.
I fought for my goddamn country.
I fought for my girl.
Never realizing…
I might fucking die for them too."

I really hope that the next installment will bring a HEA to our heroes....
They deserve a little piece of heaven together...
Oh!!! And i loved that for once again, I saw my favorite heroes from previous books and it was intriguing to see Half pint and Bo as parents!!!

[Kelli C · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to be honest, this is the first time I have ever read an M. Robinson book and found myself on edge…worried I wasn’t going to like it! The relationship of sorts between a MC born leader and a small town girl was cautiously uncomfortable for me and it took a while for me to come to grips with the tale that ensued…and one that would have one hell of a cliffhanger.

Creed Jensen is bad. Born into pure chaos, he has never known another way other than living outside the law. A true one-percenter, he exists under the firm hand of his father and there is little adoration…more reverence and perhaps fear. His life is not pretty, yet behind the tattoos and the tough façade, he has a true heart of gold. Creed is the bad boy that all need to stay away from, yet he is irresistible to all that know him…including an 8 year old little girl in pink with pig-tails.

Mia Ryder…never read a character like her. Full of sass and fierce independence. At a time when she should be playing with dolls and wishing for ponies, she is owning the waves of the ocean and wishing for freedom. Wise beyond her years, she too finds the dark, MC riding, cut wearing Creed Jensen irresistible.

So in a tale where one man is trying to find some purpose to his way of life and a little girl is trying to grow up too fast, dual POVs develop one hell of an angst ridden story. Half of this story is MC perfection with rough, raw and gritty scenes. The Devil’s Rejects are the epitome of badass with Creed Jensen never apologizing for blood shed. The other half is a traditional coming of age story of the good girl who wants too much too soon. A girl suffocating under the heavy law of her father and brothers. IT is not a surprise that these two souls…10 years apart find a connection…a bit of sunshine in the dark…a bit of chaos in the structure.

What a hell of a ride! There is nothing wrong with Creed Jensen. From top to bottom he is bad to the bone and he is perfectly imperfect. His story gutted me and while I was devastated time after time for him…I struggled to like him. Throw in the building relationship between he and a growing up little girl…and I was literally on edge. If you are not afraid of the dark…if you are willing to see the beauty in the darkness…Road to Nowhere is perfect. Just be prepared to be left on edge and a bit gutted…

5 stars! M Robinson does it again!

I was given the amazing opportunity to beta read for one of my favorite authors. My review, however, is completely unbiased.

Is there anything this woman can't do?! I mean, wow! I am blown away with this book. I loved it and it's another top favorite. It had me sucked in from beginning to end. I won't go into the plot; you'll have to read it ;) All I can say is expect the unexpected!

This book had me laughing, smiling, crying, loving and cringing in some scenes. It's action packed and will keep you turning pages non-stop. It's that good! The journey of Creed and Mia's love story is realistically beautiful. Flawed characters you can't help but to fall in love with.

All I can say is make sure to have your M Robinson starting kit:

•Tissues
•Wine
•Anxiety pills
•Cover case for kindle/tablet
•extra pair of panties

WARNING: Be emotionally prepared for the biggest book hangover EVER! That is all. Oh, and Creed is mine<3

AND THE RANDOM GUY IS HERO'S LITTLE BROTHER?!! And when finally h/H have sex for the first time heroine's is pregnant (brother's hero baby)..

4.5 Stars Book One /4 Stars Book Two

‘If there was anyone I would go to hell and back for it was Mia Ryder. Even if it meant going to war.’

This duet provided one crazy angst ridden, chaotic and heart stopping ride. M Robinson, you are one cruel, cruel woman to mess with our emotions the way you did, and we’re so relieved we had the next book to dive into because that cliffy at the end of book one would have tipped us over the edge!

The Road to Nowhere Duet provided a story packed with havoc and emotional mayhem. That’s the best way we can describe it. There was much going on in this story – there was love, deep intense crazy love, suspense, brotherhood bond, family dynamics, violence, and some mystery. We likened it to watching SOA …..never knowing where the craziness would lead us!

‘I would learn through the years that Mia Ryder…Mia. Fuckin’. Ryder. I would live and die…For her.’
Creed Jameson is the VP of the Southport North Carolina Chapter of the Devil’s Rejects MC Club and initially it’s a patch he wears with pride, teetering on the wrong side of the law, living for the brotherhood of the club. Creed is brash, brutal, and totally unapologetic about who he is but beneath that ruthless exterior is a man who lives and breathes love for his blood brothers Luke 14 and Noah 11.

Mia Ryder is just 9 years old as sassy and feisty as they come when Creed Jameson first meets her and this little miss amuses the 18 year old Creed with her smart attitude. She’s the sister he never had.

Over the years their paths would cross once or twice until the time Mia is nearly 16 and Creed has noticed how Mia is now a beautiful young woman, though still full of sass! For Creed she is the unattainable, the innocence and sweet to his impure soul. She’s out of bounds.

‘She was a breath of fresh air in this death-infested land.’

Mia doesn’t get to experience many teenage antics thanks to her over protective Dad and Uncles. She’s not allowed to get away with much, taking matters into her own hands to attend a party that would set off a chain events that would have far reaching consequences for years to come.

“Jesus Christ, you’re my everything’. You’ll always be my everythin’.”

That’s simplifying the storyline as there was so much going on in front of and behind the scenes, however we don’t want to divulge much as it would contain spoilers for the second book.

M Robinson is a such fabulous writer, delivering those bad boys we love so much and we did love Creed though he honestly tested our limits at times. This lady sure can tell a heart pounding, angsty story!

We both loved the pace and the development of the first book, it was outstanding. This duet had the grit with the emotion, with the simmering love story through the years. The soul mate connection between Creed and Mia was believable and heartfelt and we couldn’t wait to devour the second book.

Ends Here picks up straight after the heart stopping events of the first book. Pandemonium continues as did the love story between Creed and Mia, albeit it with some dramatic angst thrown in that had us wanting to hurl our Kindles.

We were enjoying and loving Ends Here immensely until around 2/3 of the way in when the story took a sudden direction that lost us a little bit out of frustration. The most saddening being that we lost some of our connection to Creed and Mia, in particular the believability in them as soulmates which suffered somewhat as a consequence of this dramatic story-line change and whilst we really enjoyed it, we didn’t feel quite the same impact as we did from the first book, sadly.

‘We weren’t the same people we had been before, and I think that was what scared him more than anything.’

The epilogue was absolutely beautiful. A tremendously heartfelt way to end the story. M Robinson drove a story that took us on a crazy endless spiral that put our hearts through the wringer, moving at breakneck speed and toying with our emotions constantly. Oh yes, and she brought us to tears over a character we love so much…oh you are evil M Robinson!!! The next book for a character featured in this duet has been set up perfectly and bloody hell, we can’t wait for that one! We know it’s going to be fabulous!

1st read: 4/2017 ... 4 stars
2nd read: 1/2020 ... 5 stars

This is what I like to call a “Hero finding his way” plot. There is an h, an HEA at the end, but the book is about the H. When the H is interesting enough or the POV is strong enough...this is my favorite trope. My mother fucking cat nip. Rawr. LOL XD

I almost always dislike the h’s in Romancelandia. They rarely do what I’d do in any given situation, what my crew would do, or any sane fucking female I’ve met.
Just. Fucking. Saying.

I don’t know about you, but I read for the H’s 99% of the time. I like men. A lot ;) So give me a good “finding his way” plot, or a well done H only POV and I’ll read regardless of the plot.

This book is about Creed, our H. The h, Mia, has some POVs, but she’s a child. With a 9 year age gap. I’m not interested in reading anything more than sweet and superficial with those numbers at that age ;) So I’m good with that POV ratio.

The H lives through some fucked up shit and does a bunch more fucked up shit. But few of his life choices are his own, and the few he can make, he generally fucks up. Because he’s fucked up. [Also my favorite trope...when they’re redeemable. OMG...I live for those books.] The H is MC born and raised 1%, ride or die. Then 9/11 happens and he enlists and becomes a hero. Doing the same fucked up shit he did for the MC...killing, mayhem, and brotherhood.

And Creed is one of those H’s.

Read this knowing it’s about his life. It’s about what makes him tick. This book in the duet isn’t about them getting their shit together as a couple, it’s about the H finding out who he is and what he needs to do to get there. It’s the backstory that lets us understand (maybe forgive) all the shit that happens next.

And it’s beautiful.

Trigger warnings:
The plethora of possible offenses is too great to name. If you have triggers, this isn’t your book.

Sounds so very wrong to me on so many levels...

Title: Road to Nowhere
Author: M. Robinson
Category: Romance,MC
Series or Standalone: Can be read as a standalone
POV: Dual
Plot:4
Characters: 4
Scorching level: 4
HEA: Not telling


M. Robinson knows how to deliver an emotional story! Loved this book and I certainly recommend it.
This is Creed's story. He belongs into an MC and his father has made sure that his son will follow in his footsteps and be the next President. This is a book about our male hero and how his life shaped who he is. The mistakes he made, the love he lost and the guilt he has to endure.
Then there comes Mia, a vivacious 10 year old that gives Creed a run for his money. This is their story. How they met. How their lives became entwined.
The book is an emotional roller-coaster ! It is full of emotion and twists and turns! I loved the progression and pace of the story. It was a very entertaining and at times heart breaking storyline.
Sadly, the book took a downhill route for me around the 90% mark. I didn't hate the outcome but I wasn't on board with it either. Mia is a good heroine but I found her too reckless for her age and her reasoning behind her actions didn't convince me either. I understood she wanted to rebel but something fell flat for me. Still, I am very curious of what happens next. I recommend this.

4 Stars

Ever since Charlie Hunnam and Sons of Anarchy, or Sons of B*tch*’s as Pippin calls it, the MC genre has been one of my favourites.  My one-click MC books usually illustrate the perfect alpha-male bad boy who has very blurred lines when it comes to the law, the MC lifestyle and of course their Old Ladies.  There are times where the books are more glamorized, but anyone who is a fan of Monica Robinson and her writing, knows that that’s just not her style.  With ‘Road To Nowhere’, the Queen of Angst has not only successfully delivered my ideal MC read, but she has also delivered a dark erotic tale of epic proportions… and, the story, is far from over. 

It’s very seldom I read a book that manages to keep me hostage from the very first few pages. I was hooked from the very beginning, transferred to a world of dirty sexy bikers, mystery, bloodshed and sex. And this is even before I was introduced to our female lead! This Author never ceases to amaze me, to shock me, to render me speechless! This book spans approximately 7 years in the lives of young Mia Ryder, the daughter of our Good Ol’ Boys couple Lucas and Alex, and Creed Jameson, the son of the President of the Devil’s Rejects, one of the most notorious MC Clubs in the country. 

Creed Jameson’s future was mapped out in detail from the day he was born. He was to follow in his father's footsteps and when the time was right, he would take his rightful place next to him. The thing is, this wasn't necessarily what young Creed wanted. He respected his 'brothers' and the club, but he didn't always agree with his father or his ways. His father was a ruthless man that showed his family no respect, no love - the club always came first.  He used his fists on his children and verbally abused and disrespected his wife whenever he saw fit. He also flaunted his many club whores without shame causing Creed’s mother’s tears to run freely... Pure, unconditional love was something that Creed was unfamiliar with, you can even say scared of.

We are first introduced to our hero just before his 18th birthday. He is cocky, hot-tempered and is constantly surrounded by women that want to please him. He is also working hard to gain the brothers respect and to establish his position within the club.  During a club party one night, in a misguided and hot-headed attempt to protect his mother, Creed's world came crushing down around him and the night ends up in tragedy. This night’s events and those that follow, have such a profound effect on our hero, that it changed him to the core, it crushed his heart and consumed his soul. 

Mia is the daughter of Bo and Half-Pint from the Good Ol’ Boy's series. She is a little firecracker! The saying "dynamite comes in small packages" springs to mind! This larger than life little girl, dressed in pink with a potty mouth and smart comebacks is a welcomed distraction for Creed. He meets her one day when he decides to eat at her parent’s restaurant...what he doesn’t know at that point is that she will become his salvation one day. 

Life doesn’t get any easier for Creed, on the contrary, fate is very cruel and things only get worse. Our hero is constantly plagued by demons and following the events of 9/11, he enlists.  He fights for his country, he fights for his fellow men, he fights to get rid of his demons. 

All the while, young Mia is growing up and is harbouring a crush.  She is madly in love with her rebel but he doesn’t see her as anything other than Pippin, a loud mouth little kid.  Mia is sheltered by her parents and is desperate to spread her wings and to live a little.  After being rejected by the man of her dreams once again, Mia decides its time to leave the little girl behind and become a woman.   Her actions however have consequences and this forces Creed to be honest about his feelings for her.  The road they are on is a dangerous one and you will have to wait and see where it leads…

M. Robinson is an amazing writer.   This book is everything you want it to be and more.  It has a very clever and detailed plot, it is anything but predictable and will have you at the edge of your seat constantly.  It is fast paced and has your heart stopping more than once. The Author is brutal with her detailed descriptions of events that will crush your heart and have you sobbing.   You are guaranteed to experience several emotions, hell I nearly broke my Kindle at one point!  M. Robinson has once again successfully given us one of her signature books…the Queen of Angst strikes again, be prepared….

Type: Romance???
Summary: One-dimensional bad boy whose primary vocabulary is the single word “fuck” has daddy issues--both kinds.

Steam Factors
Cover & Title: 1-volcano
Some books should come with warning labels. Unfortunately, this one actually did but I didn't realize until too late that it was the title warning me that this story was going nowhere. Also, the bad boy on the cover, who vaguely reminded me of Merle Dixon from The Walking Dead, looks to be an adult, but the story dumps you (literally) into the lap of a not-quite eighteen year old. Eww, minors and their sexual fantasies!
Grammar & Mechanics: 2-volcanoes
As the underage fantasy/foreshadowing creeped me out, I read faster and faster trying to get this over with. There are several instances of awkward/wordy sentence construction; for example: "Causing a gasp to escape from her lips…” Really? We need all those words? The writer couldn’t just write, “She gasped” or “Gasping, she (hopefully did something interesting, but no luck)."
Besides mechanics, the one glaring error I found was that the writer wrote “stalky” for“stocky”. Really can’t call that a typo, though; that’s just a poor grasp of spelling and vocabulary..
Content & Reality Check: 1-volcano
The reader is introduced to the bad-boy seventeen year old Creed Jameson as he sits on his motorcycle outside a club and tells a woman to suck his cock. He is arrogantly sure “she craves it” even as he recognizes in the same paragraph that women just want to gain status through him because his daddy’s the prez of the motorcycle club, the Devil’s Rejects.
Someone’s been watching way, way too much Sons of Anarchy and confusing it with research. There are many identical characters ripped straight from the small screen, right down to the setting of the club in a machine warehouse.
Juxtapose that to meeting Mia Ryder, who is ten or younger. Her whole big wish in life is to wear a pink bikini. Mia has about as much personality as a Japanese blow up doll.
When reading a romance novel, do you really want to be transported to a ten year old girl's birthday party with the uneasy suspicion that she is the love interest? The reader is subjected to pages and pages and pages of Mia’s juvenile point of view where nearly everything is prefaced with “Mommy this” or “Daddy that”; instead of building character, this only adds to the uneasy feeling that the reader is being inducted into a stalker/kidnapper/child bride conspiracy. More than half of the story is watching Mia grow up so that the writer can stage a sex scene with our foul-mouthed “hero”.
And that is just gross.

Note: Repeatedly using the word "fuck" does not a) count as a plot device; or b) constitute the sum total contribution for dialogue; or c) convince the reader that a character is wise beyond his years.
Best of the Rest: (zero)
The best part was when I gave up right before the sex scene between the two principal characters. After having such a close-up view of Mia’s childhood but seeing no emotional maturity or development of child to woman, I think this would have scarred me for life.
Total Steam Factor: 1-volcano
I would give this a negative rating if I could, except that sadly I actually have read worse.
And what the hell, how is the average rating 4 stars??

5 Sinful stars ladies! M. Robinson does it again!!!
This is M. Robinson's newest release. Holyyyy hell!!! This is a must read (obviously)!!!! The plot is awesome! It will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing, crying, screaming, & melting your panties off!!! There are twists & turns you won't see coming. Basically a roller coaster of emotions, & what a sweet ride! My chest literally ached at times. The characters come alive. It completely sucked me in & I didn't want to be spit out. It made me want to jump into the pages & live their story. Creed is sexy as hell & badass w/a heart of gold (shhh! Don't tell anyone)! Mia is perfect! She is a gorgeous girl who has a smart mouth & is mature beyond her years. You will say OMGEEEE so many times!

Monica is a USA TODAY best-selling author for a reason. Road To Nowhere is different from her other books but in an oh so good way. M. amazes me with her ability to continually outdo herself; and trust me ladies, she does this is spades on Road To Nowhere. I couldn't put it down. I have a serious book hangover! Shocker right? NOT! Thank you for continuing to write these amazing books M! I am forever grateful. I HIGHLY recommend reading Road To Nowhere. It will have you feigning for more! #GetReady #bookhangover #YoureSoScrewed #RoadToNowhere #SorryNotSorry #QueenofAngst #Creed #BackOffBitchesHesMine
