RBMC #5
Creed: Ruthless Bastards
What started as one hot night becomes months of romance, intriguing secrets and betrayal from the least expected, leading to a deadly situation.
Creedence "Creed" Clearwater, took two oaths’ in his life. One while in the Air Force and the other the day he received his patch with The RBMC. His duty and honor, is to rescue, recover and return his brothers and innocents in times of danger or extreme duress. To protect them and the Club at all costs. This oath has taken him back to his past, to a town he had stayed away from and a family he ignored. His mission, infiltrate the enemy and get the information his Club needs. But nothing worthwhile is easy, his target, gone. One family member is in trouble and the other wants to kill him. Then she happened, a one night stand that turned into more.
Tessa James is on a mission to get out of her head and have some fun. She is sick of playing the good girl. Tired of all the labels that she has been stuck with all her life. A one night changes everything. Or more precisely one man. Pure model gorgeous, over six foot with rock hard muscles, dark wavy hair, bright blue eyes and a neatly trimmed beard. Tessa can’t resist him and breaks all her rules just to have him in her life for a little longer. But she has secrets, lots of secrets and so does he. Every day it gets harder and harder to hold back. She wants to trust him but Tessa knows he is one step out the door and that will never change, he is free and wild. She is rooted and steady, opposites.
Come along for the ride and find out if opposites really do attract or will they split apart just like oil and water

I lost interest in the story and decided to abandon reading.
Although the character's name is a tribute to my favorite band (Creedence Clearwater Revival), I could not get interested in the story.
Sorry!

Oh where to start......hmmmm, I don't wanna spoil the story so gonna go with the feels it gave me!!
Tessa.....wanted to shake her, and tell her quit being a doormat for her brother!! Why she didn't tell him to take a long walk off a short pier is beyond me, put up with way to much and who suffered for it??? Her!! Not the absentee brother.
Enter Creedence Clearwater, aka Creed. He's not looking for anything more then one night of fun and he's got his sights set on Tessa. He's hot, dangerous and quite the naughty boy, he has no trouble finding a willing woman!
What happens when things spin out of control and feelings become involved? When the secrets are revealed and they find out just how much has been hidden from them both, will it draw them together or blow all up in their faces????
I can say I sure enjoyed finding out what the heck was going on as the story unfolded!!
This series just keeps getting more and more intriguing as each book comes out, I'm hooked on it and it has become a one click series for me! I know, I say that a lot, what can I say??? Book whore!! LOL

Creed is the fifth book in the Ruthless Bastards MC Series and while it continues the overarching storyline, it focuses on Creed and Tessa. Creed is sent to his hometown to try to infiltrate an enemy club, but also has a more personal agenda. Tessa is trying desperately to make ends meet, working two jobs and trying to finish up her schooling. What’s starts as a one night stand leads to much more, but when their pasts and secrets collide in her living room, can Creed and Tessa ever have a chance at a happy future?
Oh my goodness this book was awesome. The first half of the book kind of reminds me of the beginning of a game, where the characters are all placed, you know who is who, but you’re just waiting for the game to play out - and boy, does it ever! The second half is full of twists, turns, surprises, and a strong connection where lust turns to love. I loved Tessa and everything she had to fight through and even though there’s so much broken trust, she’s such a good girl with this huge heart. Creed was a conflicted character, even from the beginning, knowing his loyalties were with his club, but wanting his family and Tessa protected, too! I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing what will come next with some of the outcomes of this book

If I could have a wish granted and ask for Chelsea Hancock to be some sort of superhuman and release all the books from everyone in the Ruthless Bastards MC! I am on pins and needles with this series! Creed was a little different than the previous Ruthless Bastards MC but equally addictive. New characters were introduced and previous characters were seen in a new light. The whole book was one big teaser for future books and kept you on edge with unexpected twists.
With Creed and Tessa's story, I love how the story was told. We are kept in the dark about club business and even their own secrets as much as they are and then BOOM!, Chelsea drops the bomb and whole Pandora's box gets open from both sides. I loved being in that bubble with Creed and Tessa as much as they were and fell in love with them both. Both living like it be their last day together waiting for the other shoe to drop. You also get more insight on Cinny's past that will only make you love her that much more.
Creed is book 5 of the Ruthless Bastards MC series. Amazingly written in 3rd person POV. Creed and Tessa might have their own HEA, but their or the rest of the RBMC story is from from over. That ending will just leave you craving more from Chelsea Hancock and her Ruthless Bastards!

This book is a slow build, you get a budding romance but more. It took me a couple of chapters to get into the story but when all the dots connect...OMG! full steam ahead. With the way this ended, I will eagerly be watching for the next book

Creed: RBMC was so good. It was supposed to be one night of fun for Tessa but with Creed on a mission of his own he ended up sticking around. Tessa has gone through hard times with her family and Creed has no idea just how connected he is to her family but then one night the secrets between them come out. Can the way they have come to feel about each other survive the secrets? Already waiting for the next book in the series….

CREED: RBMC book 5....is AMAZING! This books gives more than just the RBMC it gives us a whole other town, another MC group, another group of people that may or may not be good. We meet Tessa she is a tough woman who knows the world around her and thinks her brothers hate her. Creed is up to his eye balls in trouble with not just one president from the MC’s but TWO and yeah stuff goes south real quick! I liked this book because it was not just about RBMC or Defiance but about Hazard (yes I said that right) too bad stuff happens there too. Can Creedence “Creed” Fogerty Clearwater And Tessa James survive??? You have read to find out!

Amazing! Chelsea has managed to twist my emotions up into knots yet again. Creedence Clearwater is a strong alpha character I fell instantly in lust with. The chemistry between Tessa and Creed will have you craving the next chapter. Now I'm left with questions though. Bring on the next book!

Creed and Tessa's chemistry is hot and will make you want to be bad too! I've loved this whole series because each book has a unique story line of their own, while revealing more secrets about the club members as a whole. This one gave me a new fantasy man and made me mad at one of my favorites but I'm not going to spoil. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a hot romance with all the feels and intriguing secrets.

Creed is amazing. He falls in love with what he thinks is supposed to be a one night stand. We learn some of Tuck's secrets, also. What happens when he learns Tessa's secrets? Will he stay, or is he going to leave?

Wow Creed is every girls dream guy he's all alpha, but has a caring side to him that's all for Tessa. Creed wasn't the settling kind until Tessa came into his life. These two are amazing together. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Creed and Tessa - Now there are some big twists and turns in this book that you might not be ready for. The MC storyline is still running throughout this book, there is still something major wrong but we only see small pieces of it. Creed has family problems, MC problems, and love life problems.
The love story here is a little different, it is not the he had her, he mistreated her, she stuck around, and then he figured it out. This love story was not expected on either party. It was to be a one night stand and get on with it.
But the life of the MC is always in the way.
Tessa has her own story to tell in this one that brings a different line to Club Business.
I liked this one but it was not my favorite of the series. You do get a glimpse at previous characters and their story continues.

Love hate relationship
Love the second half of the book. Several twists and turns you won't see coming! I wish I could give the book 5 stars just on that alone.
Unfortunately I had to get through the first half. Not only was it slow going, but there were way too many editing/typo errors. If this had been the first book in the series, I wouldn't have read the book let alone the series.

This book took me a few to read but after I started again, I couldn’t put it down. A chance meeting in a small town bar with the attitudes of no strings attached only revved up my need to find out what happened next. But not to spoil the party, the connection of all involved reminded me of small town America!!! Grab up this book!

Creed
I feel like weeping for these men and their women. I feel like the Vultures need to die a horrible death. I never expected the brothers Tessa talked about to be closer than we knew. Geez this was some revelation and more is yet to come.

Absolutely loved this book and all the others in this series. Creed and Tess were only looking for a one night stand, but they found so much more.
