Quill

Wicked Throttle MC #3

by Esther E. Schmidt

There’s a legend amongst members of the Wicked Throttle MC. Something that’s rooted deep into their DNA. Once a soul finds its other half, there is no going back. Only one option; Love and claim at first sight.

The danger lurking at every turn in her life has left Adley alone and on the run. That is until a certain biker finally tracked her down and is determined to help her.

Quill can’t get the woman who he couldn’t hold onto out of his head and heart. Dead set to pull her out of the danger she’s wrapped in, he stumbles into a web where not only Adley, but others are tangled in as well. Can they take one day at a time to explore their connection and save those around them? Or will a shift of direction spiral into a lost chance in love and life?

Quill can be read as a HEA standalone but does have a cliffhanger involving the next character (book four in this series). For a greater reading experience, recommended reading order:
"Corban" Wicked Throttle MC #0.5
"Zerox" Wicked Throttle MC #1
"Barlow" Wicked Throttle MC #2
“Quill” Wicked Throttle MC #3

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 2 out of 5]

Was i reading Quills story or some of Beechers? Because i was on board until maybe 60% in the story it kinda was more focused on another biker and his girl problems.. which i feel bad for.. sorry to say but Val deserves so much better then Beecher.. so yeah I'm disappointed in this story.. because i wanted more of Quill and Adley even if they were in the story.. it felt like it was more the other couple. And it was a hugeee let down i was skimming some of the book.

Now Beecher... i have mixed feelings about his story (which is the next book not this one.) because he is a big manwhore.. and he found his woman Val years ago. And he has been watching her from afar he knows she out their.. And what did he do fuck nameless whores his words.. for YEARS!!! and it taints their story of "the one" so yeah im leaning close to no. Even if he tried to make it up to her near the end of this book.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, drama, secondary chara, sexy times, no virgins no manwhore

This was hard to read for me. Because I didn't finished this one and I already wanted the next book! Like seriously. There was some parts about character, that I need that story ASAP. I so want to know what the heck happened. Suspense is killing me. See, I'm supposed to talk about Quill book and I'm going about another. Though, it's nothing new here. Esther knows how to make you thirsty for more.
I really love to read about Wicked Throttle legend, or curse, as others calls it. That insta connection... Love it. So, I love Quill and his "she's mine" mindset. Loved how he was with Adley. All growly sexy alpha.

I have to say that I think we are getting a story and a half with this one....there is another character's prequel in this one that makes me freaking hungry for that book. Holy Smokes, can't wait to see how that turns out. Now, back to this book. Quill experienced the legend but thought he'd been cursed because he lost it before he could explore it. Adley (don't you love the name!) is on the run but can't forget the man that is burned into her soul. When they meet up again Quill is not letting his woman get away. Can he help her from the danger on her heels? The connected dots is what gave us the story and a half, but don't despair - we get lots of Quill and Adley time and watch their relationship become sticky sweet!

This is a fast moving, quick read that contains dirty talking men and the women they are cursed to love and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

[Tammi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series it has a fun concept. Big bad alpha bikers living under the shadow of a legend or some feel it's a curse. Instant Love!! You meet the one and your struck! Done for! You live and breathe only for her.
Quill met Adley and he knew! She was his and then she was gone. He hunted her down because he wouldn't let her go. He couldn't let her go, she was his everything!
She came with a lot baggage but he didn't care. He only wanted to lighten the load. Come to find out her baggage was tied to one of his MC brothers. That led to an interesting story I couldn't put down. As more came to light we learn bits and pieces of that brothers past. As we see Quill and Adleys love grow and develop we feel sad for a man who can't have his forever, she is out of his reach. The legend truly is a curse for him.
An action packed ending gave our couple the final piece they needed for their HEA and I cheered. But a life was left hanging in the balance and his forever was reaching for him trying to hold on to him.
I need their book RIGHT NOW!!

Quill is book three in the wicked throttle MC series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline entertaining. I have been eager to read Quill and Adley’s story since finishing book two in this series.
Quill met Adley when the MC were tackling a serial killer. When something happened and she was presumed dead, Quill never gave up. When Quill gets a little information and a lead on Adley, he is determined to find and help her.
Adley is on the run thanks to her evil stepsister’s actions. When Quill reappears she has to decide whether to trust him or not.
The chemistry between Adley and Quill is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series. I cannot wait for Beecher and Val’s story.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again a fantastic compulsive read from Esther, it draws you in from the first page, has your heart both thumping like mad and breaking for the characters and what happens in their lives. Every single character I have fallen in love with, every time I think this is it! The one I'm claiming, he's mine. Then the next one comes along and I fall again. A story that is original full of twists and suspense, some hot and steamy content and excitement with a bit of violence. An ending that really makes me need the next book today, coz that's me and I can never get enough. I say it every time but there is no other choice, I loved this book ❤❤❤📖

[Marika · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was excited for this story, as in the previous book we saw how Quill and Adley met..
Now Quill Is looking for her and she is in real danger..
there is a good bit happening that relates to another MC member as well and I can't wait to read that story!
I love Quill..such a protector!
Adley is amazing as well, such a great soul!

I originally read the introductory story to this series a couple of years ago and somehow never got round to reading the rest of them.
I'm so glad I finally did....to the point I have bought the whole series and have devoured them in a weekend!!!
Awesome insta-love stories with a suspenseful MC twist, highly recommended.

Loved this story, a nurse running away after being kidnapped by her stepsister, and being sought after for crimes she didn't commit, yet a biker falls for her and protects her with all his brothers and old ladies. Yep, perfect scenario for a biker club. Loved it!!!

[Shani · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, Can I get a hallelujah for the thoughtfulness Esther shared of putting the perfect Quill on the cover? His expression alone is so quintessential Quill! Can I get a yummo too?

Quill has been a staple character within this series and one that had many of us readers going "What the heck" when she left the last one on a cliffhanger involving Quill. I was so excited to find out more about not only his character but what kind of art he would create. Each member of Wicked Throttle MC has a talent they bring to the table so to speak. many of them are artists, or they have talents with management, customer service, numbers, etc. So, of course, I wanted to know what kind of art this man would throw out there! I didn't expect what it was. No, I'm not giving it away, you have to read it for yourself! It's a bit untraditional but fascinating!

His dedication to his artwork, of course, his brothers and family but also to being a protector of the innocent made him so swoon-worthy! He may have been in a moment of perceived weakness when he meets his soul mate, but he instantly knows that the legend of their MC smacks him in the face like a log! It is not easy on him when he discovers she's a runner, in more ways than one.

Adley made me want to cheer for joy on so many occasions! She too has an infinity for art in a different way. The art she chooses is special and meaningful to her. No, no no, I'm not telling you! Jeesh! Read the book I'm telling you! ;) But not only that but the role she takes on in the world is one that is a protector as well. She's strong-willed, witty, courageous and downright awesome. She's the perfect match for Quill, and she feels that pull too. But she has to run, and even if that means falling over a cliff to get where she's going.

Together they will face many ups and downs as a couple but both will come together to fight for one of their own. The whole book had me torn up with emotions and in the end, looking forward to the next one. This story was meaningful in so many ways for me. From the art sparking creativity to the emotional toll life takes on everyone, I was hooked. Its the best yet in the series and I'm loving the direction she's taking the next set of characters. This is MC, insta love and inspiring all in one shot. It's a winner, winner chicken dinner!

Who is one to mess with legend... Quill has been hunting high and low for Adley and when he finds her sparks will fly. Add in a big heaping of trouble and you’ve got another awesome book from Esther. You couldn’t drag me away from it once started, world ending who cares, alien invasion come back after I’ve finished reading you get the idea. Once again a great job by a great author.

[Kathy Rouchelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picking up right where the last one left off, we find Quill still searching for the woman he kissed, who has claimed him as the "curse" of the Wicked Throttle men seems to have struck...again. But this time, his woman has gone over a cliff and into the water below and they have never found a trace of her; until now. Blake had been searching for anything and everything on Adley, and what he finds has him and Quill traveling hours hoping to find her.

This story is so very well written; giving you everything within the book's pages. Excitement, intrigue, mystery, humor, love and enough heat to scorch the pages! Quill, the painter of the MC's talented bunch, is the one that uses his own blood to paint is pictures with. Yes, his quite the quirk. Adley, is on the run from trouble that her troubled step-sister has drug her into. Talk about quirks...Adley, a nurse by trade has an addiction to business cards!. Yep...get the book because you have to read it to believe it.

But Adley's troubles aren't just her own. It seems that someone from Beecher's past is also the target of the man that is after Adley. Things become dicey, there are secrets being hidden and a few that are exposed. One secret in particular could mean the end of one of the brother's lives. Now, you can add nail-biting excitement to that previous list because this one will keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for the author to tell you what happens. We do get our ending, but we also get a story that still needs telling with a secret that needs to be shared with all of us.

Outstanding read and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE! YOU WILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY GETTING TO KNOW THESE MEN AND THE LADIES WHO HAVE CAPTURED THEIR HEARTS!

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy Crap what a ride. The Wicked Throttle Myth/Curse is at it again. What’s the curse? It’s where the guys see their one and only and they know it on the spot. But the author doesn’t just stop there, like the prior books she has given us a thrilling, suspense story with characters we know and love, along with a few news ones of course.

This storyline takes up right where the prior book stops (Hint Hint - this series is MUCH better read in order). Quill is the painter of the group, however he’s a little quirky in that he mixes the paint with his own blood for a unique effect. He is on the hunt for “his woman” that he watch fall over a waterfall at the end of Barlow (book 2 of the series). Adley is a nurse, with an obsession of collecting business cards (yeah you’ll just have to read the book on that one), who is on the run after ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When these two finally meet back up the story takes off and boy did I ever love tagging along. The story is much more than just the “curse of the MC” love story. It’s action packed and edge of your seat suspenseful. Especially when Adley’s troubles spill over into the MC and all heck breaks loose.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series. The guys that make up the Wicked Throttle MC and the women who love them are what dreams are made of. The series will take you on a ride you won’t forget and will want to read over and over again (at least I do). 2 Thumbs up for Quill. It’s a 5 star read in a phenomenal 10+ Star series, IMHO. Grab the Wicked Throttle series up now, you won’t regret it.

It was good, but I wished there was more.

Quill has been searching for Adley for months..when she went over the cliff, he dropped everything to find her. When Blake finally has a lead, it takes him to his one woman..on the run from a situation she was dragged into. Now it will take Quill and his brothers all they have to save her and one of their own. Adley has been running for weeks. When she is found by the sexy biker, she’s not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse. What she does know is that this man does something to her and her body that she must find out how deep it goes. Hopefully she will remain alive long enough to find out.

I love all of the MC stories and while I liked this one, I didn’t love it. The bulk of the story was the setup for Beecher’s story. I was left with many unanswered questions. How did Hoffa’s man find Blake/ Quill/ Adley at the hotel? What happened to the on guy who got away? Was there something else in the safe? What’s the big secret? How is Quill painting with his blood?

The later 1/2 of the book is all about Beecher and Val and the set up with their story and its possible that some of these answers will be addressed there,but there wasn’t too much of a story for Quill and Adley and that was a bit of a let down. Otherwise, the book was good and I look forward to Val and Beecher’s book to see how their story begins.

“There’s a legend amongst members of the Wicked Throttle MC. Once a soul finds its other half, there is no going back. Only one option; Love and claim at first sight.” Quill has been searching for his other half since he kissed her at a part (at the end of Barlow), and he is not a man to give up!

Adley is on the run, trying to stay safe and not knowing who to trust, she meets Quill one night but knows that they can’t stay and has to move on. That is not going to happen if Quill has anything to say about it. I LOVED Quill’s alphan-ess and his instant caveman “your mine, I will solve the problem.” There is nothing better than an all in alpha protecting what is his.

The story is packed full of action and sass, heat and bravery. I loved these characters, the MC and everything else about this book ad this series. Pure sweet entertainment, highly recommended!

While this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the Wicked Throttle MC books in order. You will get a better idea of the charcaters, the MC and their way of life and the continuing story line that is part of all the books. The order is: Corban, Zerox, Barlow and Quill. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.

[Kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in the series. They can be read as standalones but I think they are better read in order. I have read just about everything Esther has written and loved it. This book was no different. Quill meets Adley and knows right away she is meant to be his. He kisses her and then losses not long after. He isn’t sure if she is alive or not but he is looking for her. Adley has been on the run for awhile because of someone else. When Quill manages to find her and offers to help her, her first instinct it to say no and run some more. Quill isn’t going to let that happen though. She quickly discovers she is safest with him and his club. Adley is wrapped deep in something she didn’t even get herself into. Quill will do whatever it takes to makes sure she is safe and gets out of this mess clean. I loved this book so much. Adley is all sweet and innocence. But she does have a backbone and spunk as well. She cares so deeply for everyone in the club. They other girls quickly accept her as one of them. This book does heavily lead into the next one. So be prepared for the cliffhanger. I love this group so much. They are always there for each other no matter what. I can’t wait for the next one and not just because of the cliffhanger. Fantastic job Esther.

2,5 ⭐️⭐️ MCs story was good BUT the secondary story killed the series for me...

It would have been better without the Beecher (or whatever his name is) drama because this series was supposed to be that they find their ONE and that's IT. Well, Beecher is known for being a huge man-ho that ties the women he has sex with because he has a trauma or whatever and can't be touch by any woman, AND in this book we read that he DID find his one when they were teens but something happened and they split and can't be together. Zerox tells him that how can he f*cks other women when all of them that have found their one have only eyes for them and are loyal and faithful, and he answers that he can't be with the woman he loves, just watch at a distance, so he has faceless and meaningless f*ucks 🙄. I don't know what happened in his past and I don't care because the fact that he was a man-ho while separation killed the concept of the series of finding their "soulmate" and being all for and about their one and only. Oh! And she was a Dominatrix, with videos on the web and all, that he checked out because watching her was the only thing he would have 🤦🏻‍♀️.

[Katie Kavanagh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book pick up where Barlow left off with Quill searching like crazy for his soulmate. I loved Quill and Adley, they were perfect together. What I really got from reading this book is the importance of family even if you are not blood related. Adley had no one and didn't trust people very easily especially due to her past. The Wicked Throttle MC welcomed her in with open arms, especially the women. These women made Adley feel like she was truly part of their family from the first moment they meet well really talked! They stand by each other and will drop anything to help out the MC and encourage each other through everything and anything. This book had suspense, love, brother/sisterhood and has me wanting the next book right away. I am dying to read about the other two characters (you will know what i mean when you read this book). I am waiting on pins and needles for the next book especially the way Esther leaves us hanging with not knowing the back story of the other two characters!! Another great addition to this series and a must read!!

[Linda Diamond · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm going to be honest here: Adley is my all time favorite female character from this series, why ? because she is , breathtaking, smart , so compassionate, funny , she is a nurse, so when someone is in need she's the first to offer her help.. Now don't get me wrong all the Wicked Throttle women are awesome.!!! Now let's talk about Quill , OH MY STARS,talk about wicked hot , hell yeah. I love how this story unfolds , there's no pussyfooting here not nuh , it's like an action packed movie right from the start, and doesn't slow down. It's got sexy bits, OH no moments and yes a few tears😢 . Excellent writing, freaking awesome characters, fantastic book. It's one of those you don't want to end! Sooooo looking forward to reading the next Wicked Throttle book😁😁💙💙 the one thing I love about this author is she writes empowering women, and men who are there for them. Quill will do anything to protect what's his and that's Adley💗

[Dee Shelvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just when you think you know where a story line is going it is BAM!!! you don't know. This story has twists and turns you don't see. In this short story you see how family can be who you want it to be not with the family you were born into.

Adley on run, can't trust anyone, but what is she suppoe to do when a biker offers to help her and keep her safe. CAn she trust this person and the MC that stands with him.

Quill has found his other half. It is true love at first sight. The curse of his MC has struck him and struck him full force. He has hunted down the love of his only to find out that she needs help. Can he help and protect his love as well as his MC?

This story is about loving everyone for who they are even their quirks that make them unquie and specail. Esther has not dissapointed us with this story.
