Brash

Black Reapers MC #1

by Jade Kuzma

Life in a small town was supposed to be easy...

SEAN
"Ever since I got out, I've been lost, trying to figure things out. I feel like I'm going crazy in this town.
That was until I met her. Lydia.
An angel from out of town who came here to save me.
She's the only girl who makes me feel sane.
She's a damn goddess.
I have to do anything to keep her happy, anything to make her mine, anything for her..."

LYDIA
"Sean. They call him Brash. I can see why.
He's part of some motorcycle club or something.
The tattoos. The muscles. That demeanor. Why am I not surprised he just got out of prison? They don't make'em like him in the city.
I don't know if I can handle a man like him. But damn if I'm not so attracted to him..."

Welcome to Ivory, home of friendly townsfolk, honest cops, and motorcycle clubs.

Lydia leaves the big city to start her life over in the small town of Ivory. It's nothing like she's ever experienced, including Sean, member of the Black Reapers Motorcycle Club. The ex-convict has Lydia captivated. A torrid affair draws them to each other. But the life of a club member is never easy. Will a passionate attraction that the two of them crave be enough to keep them together? Or will life in Ivory be too much for them to overcome?

BRASH is a STEAMY standalone romance novel featuring a bad boy biker and the woman he'll do anything to protect. There are no cliffhangers and no cheating. Happy ending? You'll have to read to find out!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Lydia had just moved from the city to the small town of Ivory in hopes of finding peace, and something different than what she was used to. While their she becomes friend with Gina who is a little wild but they get along good. As they go to a bar for a night of fun, she meet Sean (Brash) who has just recently come out of prison, those two have an instant connection. And they are combustible, you my friends need to read the rest..as always Enjoy!!

Lydia arrives in the town of Ivory looking forward to a small town life-style after working 12 hour days in a restaurant in "the big city". She's worn out, both mentally and physically, and feels that starting a new job in the tiny Amy's bakery would help her find what she's been looking for in her life.

Sean (aka Brash) has just been released from prison and has returned to the brotherhood of his MC club, the Black Reapers. He's feeling a bit lost after serving three years in prison and has begun to feel a sense of wanting more in his life.

The couple meet when Lydia's co-worker Gina invites her to go out after work with her to a town bar. Brash becomes instantly enthralled with Lydia, and what follows is a complicated, steamy story. Lydia becomes entangled in a dispute between Brash and Poison (a former member of a rival MC club and the brother of the man Brash killed.)

I have some mixed feelings about this story. While I enjoyed the interaction between Sean and Lydia, I almost felt like Brash had a split personality. One minute he was a sensitive, caring boyfriend, and the next, he was a heartless MC biker who shrugged off committing a murder. I wanted to shake Lydia at times. She struck me as someone suffering from depression, and she seemed to want to rationalize everything, including the murder committed by Brash. I got tired of the phrase "He may have committed a murder, but he did his time!" So as long as someone goes to prison for it, murder is ok? Uh... no.

There were some good, spicy scenes that helped drive the story forwards, but there were also some gratuitous sex scenes that (for me) merely detracted from the plot. Sexy scenes that stick out like a sore thumb should probably get edited out.

The plot had a little suspense worked into it, which did help to save it from its repetitiveness. I also liked the HEA at the end of the story. Overall, this book was just an ok read for me.

Good read hard to believe ending

The story flowed well but I saw all the plots coming. The ending was very hard to believe anyone who knows a thing or two about MCs is a brother doesn’t leave for a women they are either all in or nothing

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. if you love MC books this ones for you Brash is fresh out of prison and returns to The Black Reapers MC club Lydia left the big city for a slower paced little town called Ivory when she arrives she has a job already in place at the town's bakery owned by Amy when Lydia stops by the bakery she meets Gina who is alittle on the wild side but they become friends Gina takes Lydia to the town bar that's where Brash sees Lydia and he wants her so he walks up to her and starts talking to her the only thing I kind of wondered about was when Lydia found out that he was in prison for killing another man she kind of got over it quick I think I might have had a few more questions .Soon problems begin when the brother of the man he killed came looking for redemption and the club is starting a new venture in the drug trade which have the men on edge what will happen when the brother comes after the thing Brash loves the most will they have their HEA you'll have to get this book and find out

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. The opinions are my honest thoughts on the authors work. This was a book that quickly draws you in and keeps your attention until the end. In fact I read this book in one sitting and the time flew right by. The passion and instant attraction and chemistry between Sean aka Brash and Lydia was off the charts. The story flowed along great and the characters development was right on. This was a sweet but steamy book. There was attraction, action, hotness and protectiveness throughout to keep you captivated. Great Read

Oh wow! In this story we meet Lydia,a transplant to a small town named Ivory. She's come to this Thorn to help in the local bakery. Her first night there she meets a biker named Brash aka Sean. They are both drawn to each other. Brash has a bad history. As they grow closer, life starts to get interesting. Brash served time and had just gotten out. Lydia left the city for some breathing room. What happens next--- read the story!! You won't regret it!!
I love MC stories. This one is excellent!! Love the characters and the situations they are thrown into.
Fantastic story and read!!

A new author for me but a genre that I read a lot of and she really hit the ball out of the park. The story is about Brash (Sean) a member of the Black Reapers Motorcycle Gang and Lydia all set in the town of Ivory. The heat and attraction between these two was instantaneous but they have obstacles other than the different life style Lydia is a city girl.

The strength of this book was the great characters that where so well written I hope this is the start of a series and am looking forward to future books

I was given an ARC copy of this book but this is a true and honest review

Mc romance

https://ladiikeiii.wordpress.com/2018...

This review may have a few spoilers here and there.

But anyways, I thought this book was an alright read I wasn’t disappointed in the book but wasn’t all that into it either. Would I read the next books in this series yes,”! This book though I love reading MC Romance, was sort of different from the other MC romance I’ve read idk can’t put my finger on it. Though, I did enjoy Sean and Lydia story.

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brash is an entertaining and enjoyable read that introduces us to the Black Reaper's Motorcycle Club and the small town of Ivory. This book focuses on Sean (Brash) and Lydia. This couples attraction is instantaneous and their chemistry sparks. Can a bad boy biker and a big city girl not only find love but keep it in a small town? Read this book to see for yourself. I'm posting a voluntary review after reading an advance copy of this book.

This was a great book! I just love rugged bad boy types in books! They get your heart pumping! This is a love at first sight without Lydia and Brash really realizing it. Overall the book is good, with enough action and drama to keep you reading until the very end.

🔥😍🔥 Good

I always enjoy discovering new authors and reading their books. This is an MC romance story about how the H/h discover their love as well as their new journey in their life together. Will continue to read the other books in this series and totally recommend that others do the same 🔥😍🔥

[Misty Schott · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has some action with the romance. Good characters, but Lydia seems to have no problem with why Brash was in prison. Maybe she should have asked more questions. Then the brother of the man Brash killed comes looking for some payback. Good read.

Brash was a wonderful biker romance. I loved every minute of it and you will to. I loved the dirty, gritty, trash talking alpha male and he will hook you from the first line. Go grab this bad boy biker now.

This is the first time reading from this author. Great start to a new series. I really liked this book. Well written, wonderful characters, great chemistry, and love the storyline. I want to read more...

this is a fast paced read that keeps you hooked in the danger and the heat. Bad boy alpha meets strong willed woman who won't take his crap but finds herself needing him, always a great idea/

The characters were nice enough but it didn't feel like the story had purpose. The sex was explicit but not sexy at all, it almost felt like a guy wrote it (sorry, no offense).
Just ok in my opinion.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this story

I absolutely love these types of mc romance this one definitely didn’t disappoint it was amazing I grabbed this because I was given the 5 th book as an ARC and wanted to start at the beginning and I’m glad I did

[Kim McCabe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not your typical MC book

Loved Sean & Lydia. Sean wasn't afraid of showing his feelings, which sometimes are lost in other MC stories. The ending isn't typical either. Loved the story & would definitely recommend.

[Lakeisha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read

This was a really good book. I enjoyed getting to know Lydia and Brash. Two people looking for something they just didn't know what. Jade Kuzma did a great job with the first of Black Reapers series.
