As the President of the Steele Riders Motorcycle Club, Garrett “Boomer” Steele is used to people following his command. No questions asked. As a former military man, he is dedicated, focused, and disciplined. Then in walks a fiery little beauty and all that goes out the window. He will do all he can to keep her as his. Even go to war to protect everything that belongs to him.

Crystal Miller’s just being the friend that Morgan needs when she runs into a bare-chested Boomer. He’s cocky, loving, and bossy as hell. Even though she’s one tough woman, she loves the way he needs to shield her from danger. And there’s plenty of it.

When trouble comes calling, can they stand together and survive, or will a big secret tear them apart?

CM Steele is known for her safe books, and now she is stepping into the MC genre. A safe MC book is rare, so this was a treat for those who long for that! The secondary characters where not manwhores. There was club parties but no club women hanging around all the time.

- no cheating
-instalove
-ow drama - a woman at a party hits on Boomer, touching his arm and leaving her perfume stench on him- but he shuts her down.
-om drama Crystal's room mate is a guy who causes her trouble- she has never been with him in any way.
-sexual history- Crystal is a virgin and Boomer has been celibate for several years.
-violence- club violence.
-Great epilogue 8 months and 17 YEARS later, which I loved

Garrett (Boomer) was lost after being medically discharged from the military, and knew he couldn't be the only one that felt that way, whether they left of their own accord or had to for other reasons. Boomer and his brother, Jackson, had formed a MC, of sorts, years prior. Mostly, it was guys that liked to ride and were loyal to each other. Boomer soon realized a way to combine it with a place of solitude for him, his siblings, Jackson, and their sister, Morgan, and friends to make their own way, literally, and rebuild from the ground up. Boomer's answer? He buys a town. Yeah, not a sentence you say all the time, right? The group not only had the knowledge to do so, but also the determination and funds to make it happen. Five years later, the town is growing, businesses are asking to move there, and Boomer's family, both biological and chosen, have made lives there.

Crystal was a recently college graduate and while waiting for her new job to start, decided to visit a friend, Morgan, she'd met by chance on campus. That encounter bonded Crystal and Morgan for life. During Crystal's visit, she accompanies Morgan to a shop and meets Boomer, Morgan's older brother. The attraction is instant and mutual, but also scary on her part as she's never experienced anything like it at all. But despite how hot she thinks he is, she's also not one to hold her tongue and can't help the smart alec remarks that pour from her mouth.

Boomer knows he shouldn't get involved. Crystal is obviously younger than him and is his sister's friend. But, he can't resist the pull between them for long, and he no longer wants to. Crystal is his, he just needs to let her know that. But as Boomer and Crystal begin exploring what's between them, things are happening in town that require the attention of the Steele Riders, and protection for those affiliated with it, especially Crystal as she's the President's woman. Not to mention, Crystal has her own issue that seems to have followed her to town.

Can Boomer keep Crystal, his family, and the town safe? Why is someone targeting the MC and Steeleville? And who is behind it? Which character will find their HEA next?

One-click now and follow along as two people meet and instantly fall for one another, but must deal with life or death situations as they embrace their future together.

Wow, such a great beginning. I loved it. Om drama in the form of a roommate. Blip of ow, but I don't count that as it was pointless and didn't cause any problems. Talk of attempted rape, not descriptive. Pretty much insta everything. My kind of story.

Garrett "Boomer" Steele is the President of the Steele Riders MC and has bought a town that fell on harder times and with the help of his club is rebuilding a city he and his crew can live in. What he doesn't expect is to fall hard for feisty Crystal Miller who is close friends with his sister. Boomer decides Crystal is his and the quicker she accepts that fact the better. Crystal is keeping a secret that is not hers to share, what will happen when Boomer figures it out?

This was fun, a bit rushed but I think it could lead to several books in the series. I liked Boomer, he is kind of a man of all trades and once he has made up his mind is out to make Crystal his own.

This is the first book of a new series, A STEELE RIDERS MC, by C.M. Steele and it's off to a great start :)

Boomer used to be in the military and was medically discharged (he wasn't the only one), so he and his brother, Jackson (which I'm dying to read his story with the local beautiful baker) formed a kind of MC... This was 5 years ago and since then, it's grown with guys that came along the way, joining Boomer's MC because they like riding and the sense of loyalty that surrounded the MC. Boomer also bought the town; we may be thinking, wow, can that be done, but yeah, evidently it can happen, laugh out loud ;), to make it a solid home for him, his brother, Jackson, his little sister, Morgan and the friends that eventually found their home in the MC <3

So imagine as 5 years have passed by in helping the town progress with funds and pure determination; the town is thriving and its also growing, business wise as well and all of Boomer's biological and MC family have made their lives there, establishing their homes to be closer together <3 sometimes you don't need to have the same blood running through your veins to feel like you're part of a family :)

I loved Garrett's, which is Boomer's real name by the way :), and Crystal's insane chemistry and connection to one another, despite Crystal being so much younger than him (she's the same age as his little sister, Morgan) but the age difference doesn't matter for too long for Boomer, when he realizes that the way that Crystal makes him feel, is like putting a lot of C4 in a small room and light a fuse to it; it's explosively out of this world connection, that's one in a million... he knows that she has no escape now ;) (since he's been slightly pushing her away). When this alpha decides to stake his claim on his little sassy tigress, all bets are off and the bed sheets on fire ;)

Crystal just graduated college and has her life already planned, with a new job waiting for her to start in Dallas... or so she thought, ha ha. Who knew that going to visit Morgan, her best friend for life, since Crystal saved her while being in college and they formed a forever bond (read this story to find out what Crystal saved her of) would have her meet the love of her life, Boomer <3

When these two meet, sparks literally are flying around them, but this makes Crystal wary because she's never experienced the intense way she feels for Boomer, for anyone at all in all her life, yet that doesn't stop her from being sassy and feisty with Boomer, sealing her fate in becoming his because when he decides not to ignore the intense pull he feels for Crystal, all gloves are off to claim her ;)

These two are on fire together and are both bad-asses together and apart... read this story to find out why I say apart... give you a clue, Crystal definitely is a girl not to mess with ;)

As these two navigate through their relationship, things start happening in town that requires the protection and attention of the Steele Riders and the people affiliated with them must be protected, like Crystal, who's Boomer's old lady (he's the MC President) and his little sister, who's also like the MC princess, Morgan (who I hope we get her story with Mick soon) and the families of the men in the MC as well.

The trouble coming their way is associated with a lot of things but also may have to do with Crystal's past issue with her roommate, Corey aka the slime-ball, before coming to town and Morgan's incident, which could also be related? Who knows, so go read this to find out!

I loved the epilogues so much! I knew that Boomer was determined into breeding his little tigress and at first (this was told several times during the story), Crystal said "no" but let's just say that when Boomer puts his mind to it, he accomplishes whatever he sets his mind to... multiple times ;)

I also can't wait for the next book in the Steele Riders MC and see who's story's next since there's a lot I would like to read from... from Jackson to Morgan and maybe Beast will also get his own story as well? Hopefully! :)

This was abit longer which i love!! A mc book with no manwhores even the secondary charas didnt whore around.. it was steamy and fast pace book.. c.m has been giving me so far good fluffyish with hints of drama which i love right now..

Lets start off with Garrett aka Boomer prez of the Steele riders Mc which are all former army buddies.. he's rough tough and protective of his family when his sister Morgan shows up at a tattoo place they have in town when he's there shes fucked up bring along her friend Crystal who he tries to stay clear of since shes younger then him and didn't have time for relationships well that push lasted like a day or two lol once he spent time with her he fell more in love and supported her career in teaching also he was veryyyy OTT ALPHAness lol As for Crystal she was a pretty kick ass chick she knew some MMA moves taught to her by her brothers, she had a mouth and was sassy and she wasn't annoying.. she's such a good person coming to Morgans rescue when she was being assaulted (mentioned thats the big secert they kept from the club and brother).. i also love Morgans and her friendship her being cool about her and her brother dating..

I'm still debating if i wanna read Morgans story.. she was abit bratty.. and i wanna know more of Mick. But then don't.. lets see if i pick it up..

Low angst, no ow/om drama but a creepy roommate dude causing trouble, no cheating, drama, secondary chara, not a manwhore been celibate for years and a virgin gal

Reccomend- yes
Cover-⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prologue
Instalove/lust
Almost sexually assaulted

In with a BOOM!!!

What a way to start a series!! CM did it again with Boomer, and now she has a whole city of badass bikers for all of her readers escape with. Garrett Boomer Steele is not only President of the Steele Riders MC but he is also part owner of Steele City. Having dedicated so much of his life and time into building Steele City he never made time for love. When his sister Morgan stumbles in with her friend Crystal, Boomer doesn’t even have to look. That first meeting has changed their lives forever, they just don’t know it at first. There is something about Boomer that brings Crystal’s body and soul to life, so when he brings her home she can’t help but want everything that he is willing to give. But, this isn’t just about love, this story is also about the MC protecting it’s town and family from enemies that are trying to move in on their city. I loved all of the character’s that were introduced and can only hope that CM will give each one a story. I will definitely be keeping up with this series!!

I read several MC books a week, and it has been 6 months since I came across a book that was so bad that I could not finish. But this is the one..

The writing was amateurish and god awful. Story was cliche. Target audience seemed to be the. Lowest Common Denominator crew. Just BAD.

The caliber was so low that I had assumed it was some first time author cutting their teeth. But no it looks like she is quite a prolific writer. Colour me shocked. Perhaps this is just a bad one, however I won’t risk my time reading another!

Boomer is a guy who knows what he wants... and that is his town to prosper and his woman Crystal. That book is steamy, romantic a little bit gritty and with drama (no OW/OM). A great start of a new series. A possessive alphamale, onstage love and HEA you don't need more than that.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book from the incredibly talented C.M. Steele. This is her first attempt at an MC book and I must say she nailed it. I don’t like my MC’s too clean and just because these guys are ex-military doesn’t mean they won’t hesitate to kill if need be. I am super excited to read about more of the delicious members and the women who conquer them. Garrett “Boomer” Steele is 30 years old and the President of the Steele Riders MC. He retired from Special Forces and started his own construction company. Five years ago he bought a strip of land and with help from his younger brother, Jackson, a successful architect he built it up and populated it. Now he owns most of Steeleville, a thriving town sixty miles south of Dallas. Crystal is 22 years old and a recent college graduate, she has older twin brothers that are MMA fighters and luckily they taught her a lot. She met Morgan Steele when she saved her from an attack and the two women became fast friends. Boomer and Jackson raised their eighteen year old sister, Morgan even before their drug addicted parents overdosed. When she quit college and moved to Steeleville Boomer knew something wasn’t right but he had no clue what happened. As soon as he sees Crystal he knows he’s screwed and he gives her a chance to run by warning her off of him but fortunately for both of them she doesn’t listen.

Great read!!!

I actually read Mick first and I just had to go back and read Boomer and Crystal's story!! This was a quick and sexy read but also full.of excitement and events. Boomer will stop at anything to protect his woman and even if it leads to hurting someone. Sexy alpha and a spunky heroine!!!

This novel was one of my favorites, and you could tell there were a lot of amazing emotions between the two main characters. I'm not sure why, but I'm drawn to cavemen like this. However, the independent woman in me is screaming, so for the time being, I'll ignore her and add Boomer to my list of book partners.

A phrase kept coming in my mind when I was reading this book: "Me Tarzan, You Jane". Garrett is a caveman for sure and Crystal was feisty. Their story was cheesy, sugary sweet and over the top for sure. It was a nice story but I prefer more intense ones.

The story started way to quick, all of a sudden she lives at his place and they get married in a span of what feels like a week. There was some storyline but it seemed like there were these strings that tied the story together but they were just thrown around and compacted into what feels like 4 pages. If you want an easy evening read that will not take you long it’s good but the actual storyline is definitely not it

Excellent!!

Excellent start to a new series. I can't wait for the next book.

The hero is an alpha male who is a military veteran, motorcycle hottie, millionaire and great in bed. What more could you ask for? The heroine is a beautiful, young, smart woman with a firecracker personality that will keep the hero on his toes.

The story has lots of action, drama and hot hot sex. There are a lot of characters introduced in this book so I hope C.M. Steele writes fast because I'm excited for their stories too.

I highly recommend, adults only.

Great start to the series!!

Garret and Crystal are the King and Queen of this MC. This is the first book of the series and I really, really enjoyed it! The storyline was good and sets up a series of intrigue and mystery. I liked the premise, even with some situations not quite realistic. BUT, even with those….you can still suspend reality a bit because it’s a fun book There are lots of seriously NSFW scenes throughout the book. The peek into the future is absolutely adorable. I really liked this one and looking forward to more!!!

Wow! This book was sooo good! It was full of love, sex, and a MC that consisted of ex-military men. With this book being the first in this series, holy hotness, I cannot imagine how the next ones can be any better, but I know they will. This book was longer than normal, but, oh man, I was loving that too! This was definitely a 5 Star, and a must read. I will be re-reading this book many times. It was that good!
