Notus Motorcycle Club #2
Hard Escape
A sexy, gripping romantic suspense… He leads. She follows. She might have Stockholm Syndrome. Heidi Lundin has lost her name, her identity, and her past. She's just another homeless person trying to make it through the night. Until the biker from Notus Motorcycle Club keeps saving her and won't let her drift back into the shadows. One moment brings her out into the light, and the people she desperately tried to protect are in danger again. Glen suspects the woman he caught stealing his wallet and sleeping in the alley behind Vavoom's Bar isn't telling him the truth. As a member of Notus Motorcycle Club, he searches for missing persons in partnership with the local police department all the time. Not once has he ever had someone find him. But, nothing prepares him for the story Heidi shares or the revelations that come from helping her. Somewhere in their psyche, beyond their intelligence to decipher facts and know the difference between right and wrong, their love becomes uncontrollable. —Each book in the Notus Motorcycle Club series is a standalone and can be read on its own.

I have a thing for characters that are homeless or are running away from something or someone. So the blurb really piqued my interest. I really enjoyed the first 75% of the book but at the end it didn't fully satisfy me. I was expecting a bit more angst and suspense. The last quarter just fell a bit flat to me. I would've loved to see more development in Glen and Heidi's relationship and that was the major factor why I didn't give this book 4 stars. I did enjoy both characters and liked that personalities a lot. I think they were a great match but things moved a bit fast at times.

Absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the first book in the series, but I devoured this one.
What do you do when you fear for your life and the others you love and have no where to turn? This is the question Ingrid faced....and she did what she had to do. For two difficult years this young woman survived on the streets taking on a new name and blending in. As we get the details, your heart will break and you will cheer her on. Glen is a member of the Notus MC. His life is fine. He works, helps his brother's with the cases that come their way - rinse and repeat. When he and "Heidi" meet their is an instant connection...one Glen is determined to ignore, but he can't get her out of his head. What follows is the story of two very different people finding common ground and fighting for a life together.
There is not as much suspense as with the previous book, but this is truly a love story. I loved the lead/follow they had going on. One scene that got me was the conversation Ingrid had with her Dad. I also loved the other stray Glen helped, a connection neither knew about right away.
Another great story from this author.

I wouldn't go as far to say ,"gripping suspense" for a description of this book in the usual way. The suspense was in how Blue (Heidi) lived the streets. I truly appreciate how strong a person must be to live that life. Even after they are able to leave they are different...sleeping anywhere but not very deeply....how food is less important than other things. Author gave the character a lot of dignity...the job search/success and how she didn't steal. I sure hope there are a lot of Pauleys in this world too.
I was not a fan of Glen confronting Evan. It smacked of judge, jury, and execution but the author warned me. I did wonder if he'd get in trouble.
I really appreciated the love story. Glen struggled with the age difference. I do think Ingrid was older than her years from her life so it's not silly.
Great read!!

What I love about reading books written by author Debra Kayn is that she always brings something new and eye opening with her stories and opens my mind to all sorts of circumstances that one might endure and survive. In Hard Escape, the heroine Heidi escaped an abusive relationship and ended up homeless in order to protect those she loved. I loved her inner strength, determination and perseverance in what was a very difficult situation she found herself in and she survived without losing her soul. Heidi's life changed when she and Glen collided together one fateful night. These two are complete opposites but they fit together so perfectly. Trust did not come easily after all Heidi's been through but Glen's protective nature broke down that barrier and now they must fight for each other, for the life they want together. This book was less about the suspense and more about humanity and raw, gut wrenching emotions and this story was beautifully written.

Excellent!! Loved it. This gave you an up front perspective on being a homeless woman. What she went through with her ex which in turn made her run and become homeless was sad and maddening. There is an over 20 year age difference between Ingrid and Glen but you don't really notice it as she is mature beyond her years. It started as a young girl and developed at warp speed being on the streets and fending for herself. Glen is not a big talker but his silent strength and support was wonderful to experience. Ingrid mentions several times how being homeless rendered her invisible and she's 100% correct. Most people living their daily lives just walk on by or don't even see them but unfortunately it exists and is rampant in most cities in this world today. Personally I've always said that countries should take care of their own before worrying about people in other countries. It may be a cynical view point but it is what it is.

Debra Kayn is a genius. Finished her newest book Hard Escape this morning at around 2 am. I started at around 1030 and couldn't put it down. Not even to sleep. Its the next in the Notus MC universe. I hate to say series because these are stand alone books but you get so much more out of them if you read them in order. This book centers around Glen and Heidi. He is the treasurer of Notus MC with a whistling habit ;) and she is a beauty on the run from her past. From their first meeting sparks fly. Will Glen be able to convince Heidi that she is safe with him and that she can trust and depend on him? Or will she fly the coop to protect the ones who matter most to her? Heidi has to decide if she is going to continue running from the brutality of her past or if she is willing to take a chance on love.

FRAUGHT WITH FEELINGS
There is an underlying message in most of Debra's stories and this one is no exception.
Mental and physical abuse is real and much too prevalent in our world. Many are trapped by fear of the abuser's retribution if they try to get away or tell someone who can help. That is what Ingrid went through when she escaped her abusive and smart abuser. He consistently hurt her physically but left no marks. She believed him when he said he would kill her parents and his own father if she ran. Then when his father, a cop, gave him a pistol for his birthday, Ingrid knew she had to go. So she simply disappeared, living homeless on the streets for two years. Until, by a stroke of fate, she found Glen Steele, member of the Notus MC, or did he find her?
Another awesome story from this author!

Debra Kayn's has a way of making her stories feel real. Hard Escape may be a romance but it dealt with some very serious issues. I got so much more that "entertainment" out of the story. I have gotten carefree, in all honesty I have become complacent. Everyone needs to be more alert to their surrounding and to other peoples situations. We our own first line of defense.
The romance between Glen and Heidi (aka Ingrid) was fantastic!! Glens was just who Ingrid needed to feel that she was safe, protected. What I enjoyed most was the age difference and how positively the author handled. The author showed the challenges, but she showed how age really shouldn't be a deciding factor.
This is one of those books I will recommend again and again.

Fine. Could have used a bit more character development. I chose this book because I wanted some non-stereotypical MCs, and was drawn to a cover with a FMC with a buzz cut. I'd have to say, Debra Kayn definitely delivered in some ways, but followed pretty typical romance novel tropes in others. The fact that the MMC was super cas about committing murder, even it is was "outside the law justice," was a little creepy, but maybe this is a normal thing for biker romance. It's a genre I'm pretty new to.

I was a little leery about book 2. For the life of me, I couldn't get into book 1.
Heidi and Glen were a good read. A fast and steady read that kept me interested from beginning to end and I'm now curious enough about Clara and her sister and Clara and Wayne to go back and give it another try.
It's been a while since I've read anything by Kayn, but I remember enjoying everything that I have of hers. Hard Escape falls right in with the rest.

Love or In Love
Which is harder to escape? An abusive relationship or the life once you escape. Difficult to answer and I love Debra Kahn's story to find the answer. With the help of Notus MC, we follow the rollercoaster path of Ingrid and Glenn journey. This deals with two very difficult struggles, abuse and homelessness. There could be some triggers. This book grabs you on the first page. I read it in one sitting.

Emotional
Glen and Ingrid have extremely different stories and completely different background, but they love fiercely, protect soundly and ate loyal to a fault. They meet under extreme circumstances and unconventional means but their connection is unbreakable - they will fight for each other no matter the cost, no matter the risk and no matter the consequences.

Loved this book.
As always you did a great job. There was part of this story I wanted to cry. Being homeless is no fun and plus running to save family. Then you meet someone to help you and I can understand why it was hard for her to trust at first. This MC helps find missing people which in turn is a great read. What a great love story. Keep up the great work. 👍

When Glen meets Heidi she runs with his wallet. He soon catches her and on their next meeting he learns she is homeless. Heidi is not her real name and she is in hiding, fearing for her life and the lives of her loved ones. Glen helps find the missing with Notus MC. He knows Heidi is not telling him the truth and has many secrets, but he can’t seem to stay away from her. Will Glen and Notus be able to protect Heidi? Will they be able to bring her back to the life she left behind? I liked this book okay, it just wasn’t my favorite.

Age is nothing but a number, remember that.
Oh man my heart hurt for Ingrid/blue/Heidi. For someone as young as her, she went through a lot and grew up quick. Glen and his sexy self did not disappoint and was a good night in shining armor.
The book started so well and I was hooked. Throughout we learn so much about both of them and eventually get to the bottom of it all. The cover models, right in point w the characters!!!
