There's no taming a man like me. From day one, I've led a hard life. Power? That's my middle name. My crew runs this town. Control? Don't even get me started. The only thing I live for more than riding is hearing a woman scream my name.
It's a damn shame. I never stay for pillow talk.
But when Georgia brings her delicious peach over to my porch, I can't let go. I please her in every way possible. I kiss her. I touch her. I taste her. And I sure as hell don't let up.
Of course, she's as feisty as they come. She doesn't want to end up with a bad guy like me. I honor our agreement. Just one night of debauchery. That's it. But I can't stop thinking about those darling freckles, or the way she squints her nose when she's embarrassed, or those beautiful hazel eyes...
I'm going to make her mine. I'm going to take her as my own.
When she sees me again, it's going to be in a whole new light. She's witnessed too much and the rest of the gang wants her dead, but I have a better idea. To keep her alive, she'll have to be my prisoner. But that ain't all...
She's going to marry me and join the family.
**THRUST is a standalone, full length bad boy mafia novel with a HEA and absolutely NO CLIFFHANGERS!**
Thank you, author Kara Hart, for giving us a mature-acting and likeable 35-year-old female character: a real woman with a real body who has lived through some unsettling things already (a bad marriage, divorce, less than perfect childhood/upbringing with some white collar gambling addictions and abuse). She is jaded a bit and untrusting of men for realistic and relatable reasons, yet she has the guts to “live a little”, even though she experiences and has to survive some intimidating and harrowing situations.
The harsh and brash portrayal of the Hunter MC was also a bit startling, especially when most books in this genre glamorize or romanticize the MC characters and lifestyle. It certainly coated the plotline with dark undertones and didn’t just offer Rowan a free ticket to martyrdom. Rowan and Georgia certainly had to navigate their way through a minefield and a lot of stuff, yet they seemed to do it logically (I chalk it up to them not being young twenty-somethings with blinders on and no life experience), and the emotional component added to the lust quotient was well-balanced, in my opinion. The reader can see/believe the evolution/growth really happening in their relationship.
Would I change anything? Probably it’s just me, but I had a hard time following the big fight scene, and those hot, steamy sex scenes? Yes, they were dream-worthy, but there were a couple times I wasn’t sure which one was doing what to whom, or on “which” lips they were doing it. The section of the story where they needed to convey that they might not stay together to create drama for plot-line purposes sprung up rather quickly, and maybe played out a bit too predictably. (Spoiler) I certainly loved how Rowan opted to propose marriage, though – that was a creative and fun scene unlike any I’ve read before (five thumbs up, Kara Hart!).
All in all, Thrust is a well-plotted story that I recommend, with lots of action, new and creative plot twists, non-romanticized, ragged and rough MC characters, and a stand-up-and-clap HEA.
(Spoiler 2) Verona and Henson. Could there be two more adorable names? And Jeffco and Iago changing diapers and looking after little kids? ROFL!

Arc review For honest review. Rowan is a biker with a hit on him so to stop he asked for help from the other clubs .Georgia gets herself caught up in his hell. Lots of action and this is very good .plus I like the strength Georgia has.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Couldn't put it down. Very intresting the suspense the love the loyalty the bad boy meets good girl. Loved it. Can't wait to read more from Kara Hart.
When Kara Hart spins a bad boy MC romance, you KNOW you're in for one helluva ride...and Thrust does not disappoint! This book hooks you from the very first page, and just simply will not turn you loose until the very last word on the very last page!
You'd think after several MC books, Ms Hart's writing might seem a little formulaic and too repetitive...you'd be very wrong indeed. Thrust is a dynamic and fast moving story with lots of action and plenty of hot and steamy sex! The characters are fully developed, and Rowan just makes you wish you could have someone just like him--tats included!
You really need to one-click this bad boy today! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and absolutely loved it!!)
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book Hang on everyone, you are in for one helluva ride. Forgive the basics of this sentence but that's how it is. Another brilliant read from Kara Hart. When Georgia moves to get away from her ex husband and wants some "peace and quiet" little does she know that her next door neighbour Rowan is going to rock her world. Fantastic chemistry, kidnappings, MC gangs, lots of hot sweaty sex and that's just for starters. A rollercoaster of a ride. Rowan and Georgia bring out the best and worst of each other but the chemistry just oozes out from the words. A slow start which is good because after that it just escalates. Can't praise it enough. Loved it.
Just when Georgia gets out of a unhappy marriage, she leaves to a quiet little town for piece and quiet and what she gets is a sexy tatted neighbor. Georgia does everything to ignore Rowan but he has other plans. Rowan wants and can't seem to get Georgia out of his mind and wants her as his own but when a rival MC comes for Rowan he will do anything to protect Georgia. They both never expected to feel what they have for each but will Rowan's rivals keep them apart? I liked the chemistry between Rowan & Georgia and enjoyed this book

Exciting MC tale of Rowan & Georgia. Georgia moves from Pennsylvania to the desert southwest to recover from a nasty divorce, seeking to find peace and quiet. Rowan is her next door neighbor that both tempts her and scares her. MC guys don't have a nice, peaceful reputation so she is leery when he tries to be "neighborly". A relationship takes them down a path of passion, mistrust, misunderstandings and an adventure that culminates in an all out war among several Biker clubs. Lots of drama with explosions, betrayals, shoot outs, camaraderie, losses, successes and life changing lessons. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Four stars.
Georgia is a divorced woman just looking to enjoy her newly found peaceful life . Sounds good ...right ? That's when she meets Rowan the Hot MC bad boy . Even though they are both yearning for each other , she plays hard to get until they are both on the verge of eruption .Like almost halfway thought the book , but their sex scenes are soooo sexy. Then their little blissful world comes crashing down when she sees something not meant for her eyes and the drama and suspense goes into overdrive ..
I like a bit of realistic in my romances. Getting kid napped by bikers - believable Being in an underground bunker in the middle of the desert without any issues? Not so believable. She'd be frying during the day, due to you know the desert and the bunker having metal in it... she'd be sweating like a pig...this is something that I feel like was just not taken into consideration and unfortunately ruined the book for me.
This just isn't the book for me, it is nothing like MC books I've read. For a start they all refer to motorcycle GANGS if your into MC anything you know they always call themselves CLUBS not gangs. This club got some heat and split??? MCs stick together ALWAYS!!! Then the girl (sigh) talk about over react to everything!! Half the time I wasn't even sure what was going on, at 7% I give up.

I moved here to get away from my ex. He was a big mistake topping the list of all the mistakes I have ever made. I buy a place in basically in the desert. It's mine, and it is peaceful and quiet......well that is until HE moved in next door. I want to hate that man, but I seem drawn to him. Georgia get it together, don't do this to yourself again. He calls out good morning every day....I never reply. I try to ignore it, but deep inside I am not holding strong. Then things start to happen, and I tell him my name.
I see her running every day, those yoga pants do me in every time. I know I am not a good enough person for her, or for anyone for that matter. But damn, she is beautiful. I am a guy that used to have it all, leader of my MC gang, and all the anything I could want. Then one bad shakedown happens and I am basically hiding out and waiting to see if I keep running or is this the end of my time. I do the neighborly thing and yell "Good Morning neighbor. I am Rowan." Oh she is a saucy one, and that challenge I intend to take.
First Georgia can't decide to ignore this rowdy neighbor of hers. He is an arroganst SOB. But he seems ok. Kind of like a stalker but without actually stalking. He revs the motors in his garage all the time. That is it....I can't deal with this anymore. I go over and politely ask him to stop, he smirks. He also seems to help me out. Like with that actual snake in my doorway. He is just so arrogant and smug and just handsome.
There happens to be a "date" and there is drinking, a lot of drinking, involved. There are a couple of guys introduced to her. Kind of like Rowan but he is better. Then there is an attack on her (to get to him) and he plays the hero. Now there is a strange package, a bitter rival that claims war, and all the while Georgia is in the middle of this. She is held hostage, but Rowan does everything he can. Rowen knows he is falling for her. Georgia feels herself falling for him too. Then she "lives a little" (his saying to her in the book - just once but it sticks with her) and comes to his rescue. There is a lot of twists and turns that you really don't see coming. There is other MC gangs, there is what Georgia does to help the man she loves, there is Rowan telling her he loves her.....and this is where I need to not say another thing. Can't give away too much or what happens in between those things mentioned. Believe me this is a book you can't put down. I know you need to get this book and read it too!
Rowan and Georgia just can't stay away from each other. Enjoyable read with plenty of steam, action and violence. Definitely a fan of Kara's and can't wait to read more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I loved this book .it shows the bad and deeper side of bikers. Its shows them not just as bad guys but as men with fillings, their own set of rules and a passion for a freedom that most don't understand. Roman grew up hard and had to be tough to service. So when he got together withothers looking for something similar they grew strong together but everything is in pieces ,he s alone his club is scattered and now this beauty moves in next store and even though he feels ,Georgia is out of touch he plans to get her every way possible. Georgia hasn't had it as good as people think and she married the wrong guy ,she came out here for peace and quiet as her divorce is final. She didn't expect to be next to a sexy as hell bad boy. She knows she has to stay away. Because she always chooses the wrong type man. As they start to get to know each other all hell breaks out. Can Rowan save Georgia, she's seen too much as she isn't from their lifestyle she may go straight to the cops? Will she surprise everyone? Will Rowan. An Georgia find more than sex? Will they even live long enough to find out.? I voluntarily decided to review this arc because I loved it.
I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book. Full on from the beginning, Rowen was really into Georgia before she would even look at him, but coming out of a bad marriage she was steering clear of men. Once she did though it was relentless, ending up in all sorts of trouble but falling for him as fast as he was her. With a biker gang set on taking over all territory there is violence. The story is great with a fast flow, the chapters wiz by. There was some blowing hot and cold between the characters but I think that was more misunderstanding and vulnerability on their parts than disinterest. I am not sure that I would have given in quite so easily after being held prisoner under ground, there would have had to be some major grovelling first just for allowing his friends to do that. Overall a good read .
I was really excited to start this book but after I got into it I was not so impressed. I bought it thru Amazon for my Kindle to go into my permanent library but now I'm not so sure that's going to happen. Right now I'm sitting on Ch. 15 at 8% and considering not going any further. The characters are ok but not what I was hoping for. I'm glad the female character, Georgia, is a mature and aged character benefiting from being an ex wife and truly liked our lead male, Rowan. The story line goes wonky for me fairly quickly so now it's a debate whether I want to finish. Just be careful reading this one and I would suggest, if your looking to buy thru Amazon, read the blurn provided. Forget the reccomendations, read it for yourself !!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book Georgia has just signed her divorce papers and is trying to start a new life in a new town. She has always wanted to see the desert so that is where she has set up. When she gets a new Tatted up young neighbor Georgia has no idea what is in store for her.
Rowan is in hiding. His gang has split and he knows the cops are after him so he has to stay under the radar. when he moves in next door to the hot older woman he just cant get her out of his head, he has to have her.
There is hot scenes, some great sassy humor from Georgia and some action this is a cant put down book
Thrust a bad boy mc romance by Kara Hart. It is about Georgia who moved from Pennsylvania to the desert after her skilsmisse.Hun just want some peace and quiet. Her neighbor guy Rowan is a guy with lots of tattoos. He's a bad guy. Georgia knows she should stay away from him but after a while they start to talk. Rowan has a lifetime had a tough upbringing and has long relied been part of a gang. But a deal went wrong and his life is in danger. Suddenly Georgia's life is in danger. Is there hope for the two and will they survive. A really interesting book which certainly does not lack action. It was difficult to lay down I had to keep reading to find out what happened next.
Steamy, sexy, action packed MC romance. Rowan is lying low, hiding out from his MC and Georgia is his neighbor. She's fresh off a divorce from a total douchebag, just wanting some peace and quiet. What she gets is a sexy, tatted up biker named Rowan. From the time they start their relationship until the last page, the pace never lets up. All kinds of things happen: kidnapping, rival MC violence, and of course, love. Rowan and his peach are sexy and a little sweet together in their own imperfect way.
Thrust is just the kind of MC story I like. Not so dark that it's disturbing, but action packed with steamy sex and interesting characters.
Georgia and Rowan are both on the run from their old life: Georgia from her ex husband after her divorce, Rowan from a hostile gang. Both are neighbors and watch every day. Rowan is fascinated by Georgia; Georgia despises him at first until she gets to know him better. And then everything happens all at once. The ex husband emerges and threatens Georgia. Rowan intervenes and takes her to his house. At the same time, the threat emerges from Rowan's past and suddenly both are in the midst of a seemingly unbeatable fight at all ends. This book kept me captive from the first page and I couldn’t put it down.
Georgia is jaded and determined to stay away from men. Newly divorced and having moved away to escape her ex hubby, all Georgia want is peace and quiet. When Rowan moves next door, Georgia’s quiet life is at an end. Although she is determined to ignore him, he does not give up. The chemistry between these two is hot and steamy. This is a fast paced rollercoaster journey of a read, which is action packed, with kidnappings, MC wars, twists, love, and plenty of hot sex. Kara never disappoints with her books, and this one was no different. I recommend this author’s work for all! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book!
Not your average biker book. Estranged from his MC, Rowan is hiding out from a deal gone bad and hoping his guys are working on getting to the bottom of things. Georgia is fresh from a nasty divorce and looking for some peace and serenity in her new desert home. When circumstances put these two together, sparks fly and Rowan finds out Georgia has a spine of steel and a kickass attitude. Most MC books revolve heavily around their life in the club and this story has Rowan giving out and only seeking help from allies so it's a different feel for sure but you definitely see the brotherhood between bikers. A little heavy on the criminal and violence elements. A good 4 star read.
I love MC Romances and this one has a bad boy that makes you want one of your very own. Rowan & Georgia have great chemistry but she tries to ignore it at first. She is just getting out of a bad marriage and doesn't think hooking up with Rowan is a good idea. He is supposed to keep a low profile and is used to one night of fun but she makes him want more. When she is in danger, he will do anything to protect her. It is a well written romance with plenty of heat. I recommend it to those who like some action with their romance.
Georgia, just out of a bad marriage, finally divorced, moved to a quiet desert town. Rowan running / hiding out from a job gone bad, moves to a quiet desert town, just so happens to be the same town as Georgia,and they are neighbors. She has pledged to stay away from guys, he is the typical flirty, sexy, tattooed, bad boy type guy, never wearing a shirt, and she is caring far too much how he looks.will she be able to stay away? Or, can he entice her to fall for his sexy ways? Great story, funny, intense, exciting, full of drama, intrigue, lust, love❤️! Great read.
