I'm supposed to marry a woman I've never met, make her my 'ol lady and all that. This deal was struck when I was a kid playing with toy trucks in my front yard. Hell, Octavia wasn't even born yet.
Everything changed when the Raiders MC started getting picked off one by one. Her sisters were all murdered, including the woman I was supposed to marry. Now Octavia, is the only one left and she's not exactly keen on uprooting her life and moving to Montana.
Either way, we don't have the option to throw in the towel and say fuck it. I'm just gonna have to make the best of it, even if she fights me every step of the way.

This is the eleventh book in the Reapers MC series. This book had me laughing, crying, angry, wanting to hurt someone. I had all the feels. This book has drama, heat, angst, action, suspense, romance, MC, revenge, secrets. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. I did not want to put the book down. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.
Ok, let me start from the beginning, I feel like I have been waiting for Zane FOREVER!!! FOR.....EV....ER! And this book did not leave me dissatisfied.
Octavia is the daughter of Ice who set up a contract between Zane's club and her club the Reaper's MC years earlier, they are forced to marry. Of course, when you have two people who are forced to be together they are going to think that it's going to be a horrible match, luckily for the both of them Zane and Octavia actually made a pretty good team.
They couldn't have gotten together at a better time because Octavia has a hit out on her, someone has been targeting her family for a while and killing off her sisters. Her father and brothers have no idea who is doing it and they are all worried that they won't figure it out until its too late. I feel like the book really brought you into what was going on with each club, at times it was a bit overwhelming but that could happen when the series is as large as this one is. it just made me want to know more about each of the characters.
What I thought about the Main Characters- Zane- I loved Zane. In the previous books that I had read, he was always like the asshole/ manwhore and I loved that about him. This book though, I saw a deepness to his character where at times he was still that give no fux Alpha that I have grown to love over this series we were able to see a sweeter, devoted side to him in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed his relationship with Syd and the fact that he was so open with I went into this story thinking that Zane was going to be the man that I hated to love but instead he was the man I just wanted to cuddle with because he was such a sweetie!
Octavia- I will say that she bothered me a bit because I really felt like she was a very impulsive reckless woman. You have people trying to kill you and you decide to walk out without telling anyone where you are because you are feeling a bit trapped? REALLY? REEEEALLLY? I did enjoy the fact that she was so excepting of Zane and how she really tried to make things work for the both of them. I want to know how she deals with the fact that she is about to become the first lady for the club, I am so interested in finding out how all that is going to play out!
As per usual Elizabeth Knox has written a great read! I want to know so much more and can't wait for the next. I have multiple requests! CHAINS INC GRIMM I need all of these in my life! RIGHT NOW!["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Zane by Elizabeth Knox is book 11 in the Reapers MC Series. I have read the previous book which added to my enjoyment of this one but I did feel this could be a standalone book. This is the story of Octavia who is the only one of the sister left standing after all other have been killed. Octavia learns that she is now the one that is supposed to marry Zane which was long ago decreed by there fathers to join their families. But Octavia has been in love with another man named In. Octavia finds that she can be in love with two men that both want her but can she have both of them? Enjoyed their story
This action packed MC will keep you turning the pages! Zane and Octavia have been deceived! They were pledged to each other by their fathers and now the time has come to fulfill the promise. Octavia always thought it would be one of her other sisters but in the blink of an eye she loses her sisters and she is the only one left and now she id pledged to Zane. Will they make it or will they be taken out as well?

UNEXPECTED TEAR-JERKER Right from the start of the book I was crying so hard I thought, WOW, if I'm crying like this now then what am I gonna be like by the end of the book. Lol! I always thought of Zane's character as hard, angry all the time to the point of being kinda cold but he's had alot of responsibility thrown on him really quickly, he also has a lighter side that's funny and caring. He cares deeply for his family and his brothers and little Sydney. After Fist dies the responsibility of President falls to him and he knows he has to marry a complete stranger. I was really surprised to find out about Zane's sexual preference. I don't remember reading anything in the other books to lead me to that conclusion. I love when a strong bad*ss turns out to be a total alpha. I was really shocked at the opening with what was supposed to be the introduction to the Raiders MC girls well, kind of. I love Octavia's character, from growing up in an MC she's strong but she has suffered something so heart wrenching and she's still standing shows how strong she is then throw in the fact she loses the love of her life because of the agreement her father Ice, the previous President of the Raiders with Fist the previous President of the Reaper's that one of Ice's daughters marries one of Fist's sons and that son is Zane who originally agreed to marry Yarra, Ice's oldest daughter but things didn't work out that way but I think it worked out even better by him getting Octavia. She matches him smartass for smartass and they're fun and I love the honesty and the friendship they grow before they marry. The chemistry between them starts growing and before you know it the building could be on fire and you wouldn't notice because they're so smokin hot together. The secrets that Damon has been keeping from Zane should never have happened. I don't blame Zane for losing it because he's right, if he'd known about Amara his club could've been helping with the search. Then to find out two of his club brothers have been severely injured. As if Zane doesn't have enough to deal with taking over as Charter President of the Reaper's MC I can see how this would make him think his brothers don't trust him or find him competent to be their President. Zane is a good man until he isn't, I see alot of his father's courage in him, only Fist isn't his real father but Cracker is and he was pretty courageous. I hate how Kade dropped that bomb on Zane. The wedding attire had me cracking up, especially Octavia's dads. Lmao! This book has alittle bit of everything. At times I laughed and at times I cried hard, the excitement and suspense had me reading faster to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this series to everyone.
Cinnamon has six sisters all who have been killed she is the only one left, Zane is bisexual and the president of his own club, years ago both fathers agreed to marry off their kid to protect the club. For a MC book, this one didn’t have grit, cinnamon dads club seemed like it was on its last leg and just seemed trashy, hell her father was Abusive and her brother was a lazy. Zane club was perfect, to perfect I wonder if anything ever happened. I love the fact than cinnamon job was a photographer and how she took pictures of abusive woman so they can tell their story. When you find out who has been killing cinnamon sisters you are going to shocked and not in a good way.
Side note: I am from Compton, if we see a bunch of white men walking down the street we are going to look, if you are looking for a woman we definitely won’t tell you where she is and lead you to house?!?! the sheriffs are very present in Compton and they definitely make their rounds.

Man Elizabeth does it again with another amazing MC story. This is Zane and Octavia's story and man what an amazing story it is.
Zane and Octavia's fathers have made a deal that one of the daughters would marry Zane and keep the clubs together in a pact. Only Octavia thought it was going to be one of her sisters marrying Zane but something happens to them and she is now in line to marry Zane. Even though she does not want to marry Zane she is forced to follow the arrangement.
Then just as she is going to accept her cards she is dealt with something happens and causes both clubs to come together and fight the persons coming for Octavia.
This book will have you on a roller coaster of a ride and have you loving Zane and Octavia and the clubs they belong to.
I liked this book alot... but I felt like there wasnt much depth. I got the back story but it just moved so fast, so smoothly. I am definitely looking forward to reading more about Zane,O, and Inc.

I have absolutely loved this series from the beginning, especially that each story is very unique and intriguing. This story started out with a horrific tragedy that changed the course of several lives. The first part of the book was intense with some surprising and intriguing twists. However, the second part of the book seemed to be more laid back. There were a few minor situations, a couple of major decisions were made (but they weren't made into a big deal), and other than one tense situation which was resolved rather quickly, it almost seemed like it was a different book. This wasn't a bad story by any means, I really enjoyed it. Weather it was the way it was laid out, the timing of things, or I don't really know, but whatever it was, this seemed like a different type of book than I have come to expect from this series. As I said, it was a great story, but it somehow seemed off to me. There was a lot of things that were kinda left open, some unanswered questions, and had more of an open ending than what's typical of this series. I wasn't thrilled to learn that the rest of the story will not be released until later in the year, and it will be under a different MC series. I honestly wish that if it was going to end up this way, that the author would've waited until closer to being ready to release the new series before releasing this book. JMO! Overall, this was a great story that I enjoyed, and believe that others will as well. I would recommend this book, series, and great author.
So, I'm rounding up to 3 stars because historically, 2 stars are harsh from me. But, I gotta be honest... this was very mediocre. I don't get why it has so many rave reviews.
Don't get me wrong; it's not bad . It's a short, HEA romance. That's all it is, though. It doesn't have any spark, unique twists, or good smut it in.
It felt like a lot of info-dump, and I'm not sure if it's because this is #11 of the series or what. It felt like a lot of telling, not showing.
Also Octavia was a bit annoying, and her personality definitely changes to fit the plot. For example, she's pissed about being married off, then accepts it, then falls for Zane. One minute, she understands how important it to to stay safe because people are trying to kill her . The next, she's running off without telling anyone where she's going. She also randomly smashes phones instead of just leaving it behind?
Zane's fine. A little emo, and I can't tell if it's in a good way or not. He's also just a little bland. Same thing with Inc.
As with all my reviews, I mention that I'm here for SMUT. It's... there, I guess. But it's not good. If you want the details and buildup, this isn't for you.
It's also not that dark, which is disappointing. TBH the Raiders are a weaaak MC. How they function at all is a mystery. The only glimpse of dark we get is from Zane getting info from someone. For the opening scene to be kinda gory, this was also a let-down.
It's hard to believe this series is at book 11 and Elizabeth Knox is still keeping these books interesting and even surprising. Zane and Octavia's father promised their children would marry when they became adults. Octavia never thought it would be her, but after the deaths of all her sisters, she's the only one left. When the time comes for her to met and and head off with him, she thought the man she was in love with and who loved her, Inc, would stop it. For the good of the MC, Inc did not stop it, and Octavia heart is shattered. Zane wants the relationship to work, he wants to be a one woman man, but he has other needs. This book was well paced, had great twists and turns, and crazy steamy fun. I didn't see some of this coming and now I have to wait for the next book! All the books in this series are available to read for free with your KU Subscription. And these books are well worth the read.

Fist's son Zane grows up and is now expected to satisfy the deal made between the Reapers MC and the Raiders MC. A deal that was made years ago between the two Presidents. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the only one left alive is the youngest, Octavia. Their story takes the reader on a journey with so many emotional feels, pushing the limits with hot, sexy steamy scenes, that is filled with danger, suspense, and intrigue. An MC story that is fast paced and a real page turner. Another great MC romance story, **I was gifted "Zane" via Booksprout.** and leave my review voluntarily based on my reading. 5 Stars!
This book is hot as hell. Zane is my new favorite book boyfriend. When he has to go through with making another club's princess his ol'lady he is not smitten by it since the arrangement was done when he was little and his future wife not even born yet. Octavia on the other hand has lost so much and is at a point where she is done fighting. She is broken and lost, however there is still a fighting spirit inside of her. Zane is smitten by her fierce demeanor and slowly finds his way into Octavia's heart. This book is very well put together and I devoured it. There are plenty of unexpected twists and turns. Zane's story is not over yet. I hope there will be another book.
OMFG!! I was not expecting that! This book hits you in all the feels, you feel the heartbreak, the hurt, the feelings of doubt and insecurity. We all have this idea of bikers being big tough guys who don’t have feels, well Liz just sh*ts on all those ideas and flips the script when and where we least expect it! I have had trouble saying who my favourite guy has been in this series so far I thought it was blackjack but Zane has just stolen the top spot! Thanks Liz for yet another amazing read. Just had to add the satans raiders Mc series to my MUST READ LIST!
"Zane" is a quite interesting book. It's not your typical MC romance book, as the club set-up is a little different than the usual and the dynamics differ as well. Zane and Octavia's story was an adventurous one, complicated for sure and sweet. My only complain is that the ending is quite abrupt, leaving many things unanswered and a lot to be desired. It felt like a cliffhanger, even if it had a closure. The positive thing is that Elizabeth Knox will answer all those answers soon!
I liked this book the story line. Octavia looses all her sisters so that leaves her to marry Zane President of another mc. Problem is Octavia loved Inc. So she has to go with Zane. They start to connect. And invite Inc to join them so that Octavia and Inc can still be together. Only thing is with this book I found is I would have like to know if would continue in another book called Inc. But other than that it is a good book

Zane's book was a long time coming. Finally got to see who he ended up with from the Raiders. I liked O from the start. It was refreshing to see that even though they were forced to come together that they made a go of it. Their attitudes were so positive. They make a great couple. I'm so glad O got justice for her sisters. Had a lot of characters from all over. I love how they all intertwine.
This series gets better and better and this newest edition will have you at the edge of your seat. Zane and Octavia was brought together through circumstances but the made it work. Danger and twist will have them fighting for their HEA and add in a factor I did not see coming just made for a steamy, naughty read. I can’t wait tot see wha happens next in this series that keeps on giving.
Another go into this world is just what was needed. This one is quite the tale with it having a aspect that is older than dirt-arranged marriage. The drama in this goes deep with you following close behind so not to miss any of the pieces. Zane and Octavia give us one that will have us at times just mind bongled. It is dangerous being a female in this one it would seem. This one will give one heck of a ride for sure.
When Zane was a child his father arranged a marriage between Zane and one of his friend's daughters. Then tragedy hits and all of the daughters were killed except one, Octavia. Now Octavia is to be married to Zane. This book takes some twists that I wasn't expecting but they just made the story that much better. From the well written story to the well developed characters this is a great addition to the Reapers MC series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
With each book in the Reapers MC series you know your gonna get sucked into a world you wish was real. Zane literally sucked me down a rabbit hole where I lost track of time just falling in love as these characters grew and the story unfolded. It ends to soon because really you never want it to end. BUT the promise of more to this story has me waiting not so patiently for winter to arrive and I hate winter! AMAZING READ!
This was a waste of my time! The story is not even complete! The premise was decent but it dragged out too long and then the ending was rushed with a pitiful HFN. Nothing was resolved at all. What was the point of this book? Minimal effort in writing by a wannabe who sells crap. Wish she wasnt getting paid for the time I wasted. Dont bother! If I could give a negative rating I would!
I loved Zane and Octavia and their story. Them being part of a MC seemed to be something you would have to give the author benefit of the doubt. I don't remember there being a motorcycle in the book until 3/4 of the way through and it was ridden by Octavia. Their traveling was done by airplane, Uber and a Hyundai Accent rental car. This kind of ruined it for me.

This is the 11th book in this fascinating series and I Zane and Octavias's story. This is an emotional roller coaster which starts off with a bang. One of her sisters was supposed to marry Zane as an arranged marriage and to combine two MC 's and when her two sister's are killed Octavia has to take her place. This is a well written flawless story which had me intrigued and hooked throughout and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author.
I was so happy to finally read Zane's story. I only hoped for more with Inc. I cant wait to see their continuation. I have read all of the MC series by Liz. An amazing author with a flair for writing and keeping the reader interested. I found myself getting lost in each and every book. I cant usually put the book down til I've read it cover to cover. Bring on Amara.
This book was a prelude to another book that it read on the last day of 2020 I should have read this before that one but now a few thing s make sense to me and it was good but I was hoping for an end for Amara which thankfully is the next book. Over all this series is getting better but I'm confused of the timeline going by because I thought one of the kids would still be a kid but somehow he has turned eighteen....
Zane and Octavia made such a great couple. I love Zane’s personality, his easy going manner. How he felt about family, taking Syd in and how he fell for Octavia. The bond these two had after such a short amount of time. I was surprised to see Inc’s reaction to the hotel room set up. Never figuring he might swing that way. Looking forward to more on these three. Thanks for a good read.
OMG I love the Reapers MC series. The chemistry between Zane and Octavia is super HOT but when they included Inc in the mix it got even HOTTER!!! Oh my gosh I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it and now I'm so ready for the next part to see what happens next!!! Awesome book Elizabeth Knox and I can't wait for the next book.
Wow!!!! I swear this series is taking us in a wild ride that I don't want it to end!!! Let's talk about Zane for a bit.... I mean he is the Chapter President and likes to swing both ways....😯..... HOLY SMOKES that scene is caliente😏 but I have some many questions!!! I can't wait for the next book!
