For mature audiences. Book 1 of Steel MC Montana Charter.
Exciting and intense story filled with interesting characters. Lots of ups and downs all the way through. Red finds Nova on the road after being left for dead. The development of their relationship kept me reading and wanting more. Made me want to read the entire series immediately.

I read this book after I read book 2, but it just made me like Red and Nova more than I already did.
Red, a former medic in the military and current unlicensed doctor, is riding one night when he passes something on the road. His instincts tell him to turn around and thank goodness he does. There, in the ditch, lay the almost dead body of a young woman who has been brutally beaten.
His training kicks in as he calls members of the local MC that he belongs to to send help. Saving her from the grim reaper, Red becomes immediately attached to Nova, aka Roadkill. He nurses her back to health after performing a complex surgery in a makeshift medical room at the MC compound. The hospital was too far to travel.
When Nova wakes, she can't remember her life, let alone what happened to her. As bits and pieces come back to her,, she discovers she may want to remain in the dark. In the meantime, Red had to claim her as his in order for the host MC President to allow them to stay. Red has now not only become responsible for her, but has now been tasked with starting his own chapter of the MC at his home in Montana.
Unsure if he even wants that kind of responsibility, Red struggles to make up his mind. One thing for sure, he wants Nova! Even in her battered state, he finds himself drawn to her and will kill anyone who tries to hurt her. Things get heated with a dirty sherif and rouge members of a rival gang when they find out Nova is still alive.
Red has to make things right by getting rid of the threat to Nova. She is struggling with being claimed as "property" as well as overhearing the man who she has fallen for sanction a hit. Drama ensues, but we get a happily ever after for the two lovers and a purpose for the new chapter of the MC.
This book kept me engaged and wanting to jump in the book to help Red and his crew. I loved how complex he was. On one hand he was a super hero doctor, saving lives, and on the other he was a ruthless killer in the name of Justice.

This is my first read by either of the authors. I love a good MC story and Ms. Prince and Ms. McCabe have delivered ten-fold!
Josh (Red) Luke discovers a woman laying at the side of the road, almost beaten to death – but still surviving. His military training (medic) kicks into high gear because he will never leave a “man” behind. Once he has the women safely under his care/protection – he immediately falls for her.
Beaten to within an inch of her life and left for dead, Nova has a long battle of recovery in front of her. She witnessed her friend being killed…and the killer also thought he finished the job with Nova. Now the he knows she is alive – he wants her dead and is looking for her.
Nova, or Roadkill (road name) is still trying to piece her memory and life back together. Waves of memories come and go and start falling back into place little by little. With the help of Red and the rest of the MC crew she is gaining strength and confidence back.
Lots of twists and turns that kept the story interesting and something I couldn’t put down. Red and Roadkill are perfect for each other. They just need to take things one day at time to see what happens next. He wants her to be his ole lady…and she is just not wanting to be a piece of property.
Great storyline, good pace, awesome characters. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of this series!
It is a little on the long side – but you need to realize that you are getting to know the “world and workings” of the Steel MC Montana Charter.

I purchased the audiobook and ebook combo from amazon.
Michael Prince and Rin McCabe are new to me authors and after listening to roadkill I will definitely be diving into more of this series. Tanner DeBruyne did a wonderful job of keeping me engaged in the story.
Josh Luke AKA red is on his way back home to help his mama out after the death of his father. he decided to take the deserted road and good thing for Nova he did. She was left in a ditch to die. Red was able to fix her up and in the process found he only wanted to protect her more.
Nova is struggling she cannot remember anything not even her name so in true MC fashion she earned her nickname roadkill. Roadkill has to decide if she will act on her thoughts of running far from the MC or if she will stay and let red in her heart.
Red is going back home and starting his own mc. Will trying to protect roadkill, forming a new chapter and dealing with the stress accompanying being the president proved too much for red. Red and roadkill go through so much on their journey but it makes them stronger and shows them if they can make it or not.
I'm excited to see where this series will go. Most MCS are already established this one we get to see evolve from the beginning. There are so many characters I am interested in seeing what happens to them and see who will stay, who will go and who will join in the future. I have my eye on one guy right now hack.

Audio review 🎧
These are new authors to me and I will be looking for more titles after listening to this one. Roadkill is an exciting and intense story filled with interesting characters. It doesn't flinch from the harsh sides of life, but, at the same time retains an optimism about the intrinsic good of the majority. Tanner De Bruyne narrates with confidence and kept me glued to the audio, anxious to hear what was coming up next. Both Red and Nova are great characters with really different life stories, but both having a strong caring nature. I look forward to hearing more from the Steel MC in the future 💖💖💖💖

A good.read but found Nova a bit winnie through the majority through the story. For me I was waiting on her anger to kick in for what happen to her. Specially since her character wasn't written that way. Her first memory of being nurse wasn't just being a nurse. It was her standing up for her patient care against their Doctor. So that showed she isn't afraid of standing up and fighting for it. Also worked in a dive bar as bartender not afraid.
Not wanting to give more away with all that what was done to her and not doing then almost condemning Red for doing.
But then I'm doing this at 4:00 a.m. and seeing double..
It is a good read.

Ain't so bad being Roadkill!!
I'm ashamed to say this is my first book by Michel Prince and happy to say it won't be my last!
Red and Roadkill.... Josh and Nova are actually kindred spirits. Both wanted to do what's best for a patient without dealing with the higher ups in hospitals. I also understood Nova's hesitancy in the violent nature of an MC , given her background.
Everything clicked in this book. The dialogue, the characters, the chemistry between Red and Roadkill... everything was PERFECT!

Motorcycle books are really not my thing as they are usually too dark and intense. The premise of this book is interesting with Red rescuing Nova who was dumped in the desert. Both of them struggle to survive and make good things happen. Red takes Nova, calling her his woman, to Montana to start a new MC club. Nova is confused and unsure this is this life for her. The group calls her Roadkill which does not sit well with me.
I listened to this book and the audio was ok.

Great book
Fantastic start to the series. Left to die, but strong enough to stay alive this young woman is brought back to life by a docUtor in disguise, a leather wearing biker trying to save her. Expect the usual twists and turns, add in a touch of violence, murder, and attraction turned to love and you have one interesting story.

I enjoyed this book. I love a good MC romance. Red is headed out on his motorcycle when he sees a blond headed woman laying on the side of the road. After doctoring up he wants to make her his O'lady but Nova not sure if she can live his lifestyle.

Great book, enjoyed the novel about abuse woman and their men that supported them. Roadkill was a strong woman that need Red to assist her through this terrible event. I am glad that she found love and family that would protect her.

Not everyday you find a body on the side of the road. And that is how RoadKill begins. This book is the first in the Steel Montana MC.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, which I like.

Red finds Roadkill on the side of the road almost dead. She had been beaten and left for dead. Red fixes her up and now they are in a relationship. Roadkill has to decide can she be in this MC life or does she think she needs to go back and get justice for the one she almost died for. Good read.

Nice Start to the Series
Who knew that a journey down a backroad would change his life, but for Red it did. Novalee was left for dead, but he saved her and himself. Definitely recommend this book and series.

I purchased the audio book and ebook deal from Amazon.
SO I will admit, I haven’t read an MC book/series in along time. When the genre blew up, this girl devoured allllll the books but lately I have just passed when offered books. Well I have recently become obsessed with Michel’s library of books (Hello Two Ink Minimum is amazing!!) and so I was like OK Lets Do IT!! SO I grabbed the book and started listening…..FRIENDS!!! YES!!!! This book was everything I needed in a story. Yes its an MC but those elements weren’t overpowered in the story?? Does that make sense. Yes the club is there and club rules are visible but the characters took the story and my heart.
Josh/Red is a nomad and looking to go home because his father has passed away and his mom needed him at the family ranch. While he is riding, he sees something in the desert and rushes to see who it is. He can hear the wild animals getting closer, so he is worried. What he sees hits him in the gut. He is looking at a battered and essentially dead woman.
Nova/Roadkill thinks she is being lifted to heaven and is stunned when she opens her eyes in a room. She is surrounded by strangers and these blue eyes that she remembered from when she was dying. Nova has no idea what happened or even what her name is hence the club name of Roadkill.
The couple have a great natural building of chemistry. Red wants to help her while also protect her. The banter and seriousness of her attack forms a bond that neither is ready for and both try to push away.
Red is the first to realize he wants Nova forever but knows she is a mess and is probably not sure what the club life is like since she got some 2nd hand not particularly true information.
The couple go through a lot like moving to Montana to start a Steel MC Charter club, dealing with that past she had hidden away in her mind, solving some crimes against women, and falling in love.
Red is a no-nonsense guy. He won’t fight his feelings and is doing everything he can for Nova to realize her place is with him. Nova hasn’t ever had a real family or had people who generally cared for her, so this new “Family” is confusing and scary. But Nova is a bad ass chick who embraces the title Property.
I am so excited to read the story of the rest of the characters. I admit Baldy is the one I am more excited for because his character just screamed at me the most but knowing the next book is Cass, I am stoked!!
