Gamble

Brothers of Olympus MC #2

by Jaime Russell

There’s no limit to pain when the only person to trust is the one who let you down the worst.

Melissa Monroe may rule in the courtroom, but being a lawyer hasn’t helped in her personal life one bit. Every day she lives in fear that someone will find out her secret and to make matters worse, the one person who knows it, has blackmailed her into a relationship she never wanted to be in.

Her heart has always belonged to Gamble, President of the Brothers of Olympus MC. But the club life scared the hell out of her, and she had no choice but to walk away from Gamble and everything that came with him.

Now to make matters worse, there’s a rival MC terrorizing her to get to the man she thought she left in the past, and Gamble might be her only chance to survive. But that might mean telling him her secret…and that secret could crush them both and get way too many people killed in the crossfire.

Gabe “Gamble” Smith was born to ride. With his grandfather being the founder of the Brothers of Olympus MC, it was his destiny to take over one day. His rule has always been one of steel and lead, until Melissa Monroe walked into his life. She was the only woman to ever see through his hard exterior and then, he lost her.

When another club needs help, Gamble jumped at the opportunity to put a thousand miles between him and the woman who owned his heart but refused to be with him. But no matter how many women warm his bed or how many states are between them, she still owns him.

Gamble doesn’t hesitate to hightail it back when he gets word that she’s in trouble, deep trouble, and it’s all because of him. He’d do anything for his club, but when he learns the secret the love of his life has kept from him, he’ll move Heaven and Earth, or set the entire world on fire to get her back.

Loved Gamble and Melissa's intense emotional broken beautiful loving story.Couldnt put it down from start to finish.Cant wait till Steels story.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book follows a short book called Outlaw Justice, which would be helpful to read first, but this book can be read on its own if necessary. There is enough explained, sometimes through flashbacks, for readers to understand what's going on. In this book a young lawyer named Melissa has to deal with many things relating to her love for Gamble, the President of the Olympus MC. She has had a baby, fathered by Gamble, but for various reasons, Gamble was never aware of his son's birth. At any rate, Melissa has to deal with things like: her continued love for Gamble even though he has been out of the picture, how/if/when to tell Gamble about their son, the events surrounding the Olympus MC and a rival MC, an ex-boyfriend, various threats and dangers to Melissa (such as break-ins at her home and the destruction of her possessions, her kidnapping, and torture), simply a lot of events that will definitely keep the interest of readers. I highly recommend this book!

Melissa has always viewed that an MC to is dangerous to raise a family. Gabe "Gamble" Smith has always never been the settling down type. She kept a secret from him, will he forgive her? Will they be able to figure out who is out to get them before it is to late?

After reading the prequel to this book, I was excited and it did not disappoint. I could see both sides of their arguments and thought that they were both in the wrong when it came to how they handled everything between them, but was really happy when they worked it out. I loved how Melissa was determined to do anything to protect her children and keep them safe. I loved the fact that Gabe was determined to do what he could to prove that he wanted them to be a family, even at the risk of his own life. Good read!

This is a really good story one or two discrepancies near the end let it down just a little bit, I am surprised they were not picked up by editor or arc/beta readers. But I tried not to let it spoil my enjoyment. There is suspense and some graphic violence as part of the plot, threats in all directions and the club pulled all over the place. Tense moments throughout and part of this story will continue on into the next book but if you don't mind a couple of unanswered events you could read this alone. All in all a great read and one you can get lost in which is what I love with my reading, there are some characters to love and some to definitely hate.

Gamble (The Brothers of Olympus MC) continues the story of Gamble and Melissa's romance.

The characters are well developed, strong, and have great chemistry together. The storyline is well written and kept my interest from start to finish, with danger, suspense, intrigue, and a second chance at romance for two people that belong together.

I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

[Theresa Doherty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm just going to say READ THIS, this was running from the first page, intense, suspense, seeing Melissa getting on with her life, with the jerk Stuart, the man she left behind Gamble, who has his own battles concerning his MC brothers, secrets, lies, and history will always bite you. More please

This story has a little of everything, sweet romance, sexy overbearing and frustrating alpha males and a beautiful woman who has the right heart and spirit. Thoroughly enjoying and entertaining.

Hmmm a reasonable 1st attempt with lots of potential

For me it was too formulaic, predictable and corny at times.

It just lacked umpf.

I think the author has to find her way to writing more original stories because I can see she has the potential but sadly this book was very average.

Tangled

[Cathy Sailer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good story but...

The editing and I felt some whiplash with the back and forth. A little reworking and it could be a good series

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I could not put this book down. I loved the storyline from start to finish. Gamble is my kind of man.
Dangerous. Steamy. Provocative.

Gamble (The Brothers of Olympus MC)

I loved Gamble and Melissa’s story, it was fantastic. ❤️ I love this series. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[S A · Rating 1 out of 5]

You should read another book first ( I think). This is the first of this series, so that made it confusing. Halfway through and I am bored stiff and skimming. Melissa seems immature to be a lawyer.

[Shannon robinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Frustrating

Heroine to stupid to live. If you looking for an hero that will fight for your love he is not the one.

[Ashleigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

The chemistry between the main characters is out of this freaking world!

I felt that the author had the ability to convey true depth to the personalities of the characters bringing life and likability to every person.
The writing draws you in and keeps you interested until the end.

Method: ebook

Rating: 3 stars

H rating: 4

h rating: 3

Drama: 4

Thoughts: I did like this, in some aspects, mainly the kid scenes, I do believe that h was not the smartest when it came to certain situations and she honestly should’ve known better. H was a bit better, i understood his reasons for staying away and I also understood his reasonings for the other women, h was being very unfair to him and his family with her judgments, but, maybe I’m in the minority, I just don’t think he should’ve stuck it out with her after her quick judgments and selfish ways. I’m all about forgiveness, but she just seemed selfish and tstl sometimes. Regardless of her, I did enjoy most of this story and am left curious about other characters in this story.
