Tank and Reagan's story is over, but the Ruthless Bastards MC's exiting world continues. I love books that can keep you turning page after page nonstop from page 1, and Chelsea managed to do that again with Tank! The feels this book gave me were just like a punch in the heartstrings. I knew the dynamic between Tank and Reagan was going to have some angst just by reading Whiskey, and I was not disappointed in the least. My eyes stayed glued to the words that came to life and sucked me into this MC world.

I loved Reagan's kickass character. She was not only beautiful and sweet, but a freaking genius when it comes to accounting and a super strong fighter. Not to mention how funny she is especially when she's with her best friend Suzy.
Omg, when Reagan mentions d*ck jewelry... enough said!
I was in love with Tank's character too. At the beginning you just love to hate him and might want to strangle him or kick him in the balls a time or two; but as his character evolved, you just can't help but swoon at his protective and possessive side. Regardless, he is a hot head through and through.

Tank is a must read, 1click now type of book. It is a mix of second chance and kind of haters to lovers type of romance. And like the previous book of Whiskey, their love story concludes with their own HEA, but continues the RBMC world in a cliffhanger. All I have to say is I need every one of the RBMC brother's stories! Chelsea Hancock got me hooked and has already has me feening for more.

Tank is book 2 in the RBMC series. To be honest, I didn't care for Tank at first because he was just a jerk. His book comes along and we find out more of his story. Yes, I softened up towards him. When Reagan comes back into his life after 10 years, he decides to teach her a lesson, but there are things in her past that are catching up to her. Will Tank and the guys be able to save Reagan from the threats to her life.
The story drew me in right away and while there were a few spots that were slow, the story was awesome. Turns out I like Tank better than I thought I would. The ceremony towards the ending made me tear up a bit and then comes the ending!! Wow!!! All I can say is I will be eagerly waiting for the next book!!

I was kind of unsure about Tank after book one. He just didn't seem like I was gonna like him, jerkwad seemed more fitting. He didn't give me a great first impression.
But then.....I started book two, which btw starts with a bang, just saying.
And here comes Reagan, not at all like I had pictured her in my mind! Tank, Braydon Taylor to be exact managed to surprise me as well.  He had his reasons for his behavior just like she did and man were they both hiding stuff. The action is fast and furious, the sexy scenes melted me but we also get some heavy emotions and lots of the other RBMC guys! Let's just say if he ever manages to get his head on straight, may be a bit too late.
Love this series and can't wait for more!

Absolutely loved Tank book 2 from Hancock's RBMC. Storyline was like a good it held a crime story aspect as well as romance, the the lead female character Reagan and her detective skills were stellar. I loved that the story was focused on her strong personality. Tank is the male lead , the author gives us all sides to his character, in book one he was so sweet defending Addy against Whiskey but here we get the jerk, the angry version of Tank for the first few chapters. Once he gets over his anger at himself we see the real Tank and it was interesting to watch his transformation. Absolutely loved this story..didn't like the semi cliffhanger and now I have to read Link's to find out about Talon. Happy Reading!!!

I was disgusted with the way Tank treated Regan. Yes, she left him 10 years earlier but she had her reasons. What he should have done was try to figure out why she'd want to be a club puppet? He was horrible to her. He wouldn't sleep with her but made her watch him with others. Or he'd give her an orgasm in front of others. Even the club brothers said he treated her like shit. I was glad when she left. She mentioned he felt tortured once he knew the truth. I felt she rolled over entirely too quickly. I would have made his ass feel like shit forever. I hope Link's book improves my views or I'll be done with this author.

When hearing that her family plans to sell her younger sister and then learning the truth about an accident that changed the lives of four people ten years ago, Rea does the only thibg she can think of. She becomes a puppet for the club so she can continue to gather the information she needs. Tank carries the blame of what happened, pushes the one person who loves him away. When the truth comes out he knows what he needs to do. Deal with his sicko dad and protect the one girl he will always love.

I was intrigued by Tank in the first book , his chauvinist don't give a damn attitude made me want the story behind it. I loved the result, he went from heating my temper to heating my libido. Reagan was a huge surprise, she is so much more than we seen in the first book and the kind of female lead that I enjoy. From the beginning to the end it wouldn't let me go , goosebumps, cursing, sighs and smiles were all reactions to this story line. An overall good read to escape with.

I'm torn on this one - loved it and hated it at the same time!

Loved that Reagan wanted to help Tank (especially the letter she wrote) but hated the way she let him treat her at the clubhouse. Loved how much Tank wanted her, but hated his earlier actions. Loved seeing the claiming - missed that with book one. In both books it talks about getting their "man's name" tattoo, but no mention of either woman getting it in either book. Loved the sense of brotherhood, but hate the way trouble between members is not dealt with (IE Whiskey and his brothers; Tank and Whiskey) I would of liked an update of Cathy and her man and what about their dogs?!?

Overall I enjoyed the read and I didn't notice the editing issues that plagued book one.

Tank and Reagan's story exhilarating. It takes place 10 years later. Reagan is trying to protect Tank, of course Tank has no idea and is a dick towards Reagan. This book drew me in right away, as I had Tank in Whiskeys story. Book 2 of the RBMC series.

I LOVED this book. It has it all action, passion and love. RBMC club is nothing without trust. Brayden “Tank” Taylor was having trouble with that. Reagan Lee was in up to her ears in trouble. She was in love with Tank her entire life. He didn’t see it and used her. She over hears something very bad and goes to Tuck President of the club and he knows. She has 6 months to prove her theory and it isn’t good. His father is involved with human trafficking, drugs, money laundering the whole ball of wax. He does what he can do to help.

Tank and Reagan are reunited when Reagan tries to be Nancy Drew inside an MC. She's not a good sleuth, though, and with some rather TSTL actions ends up needing Tank and the club to help her.

I had gotten both Whiskey (the first one in this series) and this book at the same time. I didn't really enjoy Whiskey that much but decided to read Tank to give the author a second chance. But once again, the story would have been good if the writing had been significantly better. Lots of description rather than narrated action and so many editing problems.

Sorry to say that I cannot recommend this one.

Who wants a Tank?

So book 2 was just as fantastic as book 1. Loved Tanks story. This author has found her niche. A few items misses during editing but I still recommend this series. The Ruthless boys are just that. The take care of their own and Regan learns that. Love is strong and some parts were ugh only because Tank was a butthead. But the voice of the story was strong. Hard to say who I liked more.. Whiskey or Tank. Next up is Link and so excited to hear his story. Thanks for action, suspense, hot steamy scenes and love that lasts for over 10 years.

Wow

This was so much better then the first book im so glad i stuck with it you can never judge a book by its cover .
I'm hoping the next book answers some more questions from Whiskey and Tanks books .
And i hope its as hot as this one . Tank is a stud lol. Reagans past is a hell of a story known as trailer trash its never stopped Reagan for trying to better herseld and help save her baby sister Lexie from the kind of life she grew up in . Her brother's and parents are no good criminals and Reagan finds out the plans they have for her sister Reagan goes to Tuck the president of the MC for help . Tank is not happy that Reagan is living at the club as a puppet and claims her as his own even though he treats her horribly nd reduses ro sleep with her hooing that she will leave the MC and not come back but Reagan has a plan and will stick by it at any cost. When things xome to life that Tank had no idea about he makes it his mission to make the people who hurt Reagan suffer and set right the wrongs of the pasr. Im going to read Link the next book in the series right now . The story is getting good and the characters are getting more in depth.

Tank... He makes me not like and mistreatment of Regan is enough to keep him in hate column. Regan is in love with Tank and has been for a while, but she seems to lose herself in this book. She made to seem like a brave, smart, woman with a backbone, but she puts up with too much shit from Tank.

I understand that authors writing style and this ran along the very same lines as Whiskey & Addy. There was mistreatment, trust issues, maybe a start of something, drama, a moment where he might lose the girl and then he sees the error of his ways and goes to her. She then forgives all the transgressions and opens her heart and arms to him.

Sorry but no

I am not a fan of women who are sad pathetic doormats. She allows a man to treat her like trash, a w.h.o.r.e. well if you act like one and is OK by being treated like one, then YOU ARE one.

I would never allow a man to treat me that way, he was abusive. I don't find it romantic. He never redeemed himself. What he screwed her in front of people again and all was forgiven.

And shame on you, his dad raped and killed girls but let's love him, are you joking.

Still good

The story line for this series is great. There is room for growth. Unfinished to me - what happened to the shipment of women expected to arrive, or the two mentioned that were missing from years ago. So much potential for this potential, expand and edit! Still four stars for me.

First, I loved this book. Second, the details and emotions involved in this book makes it really believable. It pulled me in from the very first page and led me down a trail of emotions I never expected. If only we all could be loved the way Reagan Loved Brayden. And it bears the question, what would you do for the one you love? A book worth reading, for sure!!!!

Better!

This second book in the series is much better than the first. It has a much better flow and character development. I debated continuing the series after reading the first book but I'm glad I did!

Loved it..

The story line of this book hooked me to read it. I've never read a book by Chelsea Handcock before but I had to read this one even knowing it's book 2 in the series and I wasn't disappointed. Awesome job, I can't wait to read more to see what happens next.

Tank

Shit as soon as one couple gets their happy ending, here comes another crisis. I can't wait to see how this new drama plays out. I wish Tank had done some serious damage to some very deserving people before everything came to an end.
