New Beginnings #2

Reviving Luca

Rate this book
Luca:


I always knew I would be a ranking member with the Rebel Guardians, but I never thought I would head a whole new chapter in Fallen Creek, Oklahoma. Establishing new businesses and incorporating a satellite office of the trucking company is time consuming. It’s both exciting and exhausting at the same time. My protective nature has me offering a young woman a place to go. She’s got secrets, but my hope is that one day, she’ll open up to me.
Because she’s mine. She just doesn’t know it yet, but she will...soon.

Gypsy:


My faith and trust in men is abysmal. But there’s something about Luca Callahan that calls to me and I find myself taking my dog, Lucy, and following him on his new adventure. However, secrets never stay hidden and when the past rears its ugly head, I find myself stuck between the past and the present.



Will Gypsy find her saving knight who wears a cut, or will she find that she’s all alone in the world?
Will Luca show her what true friendship and love are supposed to be about, or will he let her past and secrets hold him hostage?

I have been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was younger I used to sit and fill spiral notebooks full of stories. As I got older, I took the jobs needed for raising my boys as a single mom, until I met my now amazing husband. I have stopped working in the last three years and started promoting authors, then I blogged and reviewed for authors, which lead me down the path to writing and creating characters and stories. I love creating behind the scenes with my writing getting to use my imagination and write the story as it comes to me. My youngest is now a senior in High School leaving me with some spare time on my hands to be filled. I am loving the people I am meeting and the support system I have found.

Luca is now the president of the Oklahoma Chapter of the Rebel Guardians. He didn't plan on taking an ol lady anytime soon but when he sees Gypsy he knows she is the one. Gypsy is skittish though and Luca realizes he needs to gain her trust before laying it all out. When their relationship starts to build though Luca gets told a secret that could shake up things in his club but he needs to get Gypsy to recognize that his club is worth her trust. Can Gypsy who has had a life of neglect and abuse find a happiness she never expected?

This was a wonderful read. I liked Gypsy a lot and it was great seeing her come into her own. Luca was great, just how I imagined him to be when he was introduced in his parents book. These authors series gets better and better.

OMG -Luca is book boyfriend all book Boyfriends aspire to. Even though he is a biker in no way does he resemble one in his actions (at least not what we think a biker us supposed to be).

Seeing all the characters grown up, when in the previous series they were children is awesome. Getting glimpses of the other series characters aswell is satisfying in away hard to explain in the ability to know in our heads..."and then what happened "

The new characters being introduced are strong women who resemble in their personalities the other ol' ladies of the MC.

A very enjoyable read that makes you want to carry on the series as you want to know..."and then what happened "

Luca and Gypsy

This was a sweet and cute romantic story for the RGMC. Like the fact that the author made it all about family ties and the loss between a father and daughter and how gypsy came out of it and found her true person to Love, and her place and value in life especially since she had Really no parental guidance except an aunt and an uncle that could not fully love her because her mother made it impossible. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

OMG.............................................Fanfeckingtastic Book
I was pulled into this book from the beginning and that is where I stayed until I had read every single word that had been written. All the while I was reading I had my mini movie playing in my head, I love it when that happens.
Twists, turns and surprises await you within the pages of this book. Some of the surprises you may see coming, where as others you won't. Some of the surprises are large while others are small. Some may even hit you in the face, or pull on your heartstrings. But with all of that being said, each and everyone one of the surprises, are equally important in the story and aid in making it the awesome read that it is.
The emotions that each of the characters go through can be felt. I went through the emotions along with the characters. There were times that what the character was going through, pulled on my heart strings and I wanted to reach out and hug said character. There were also times I got frustrated with the characters and I wanted to knock their heads together. But they redeemed themselves, I still love them. I know without a shadow of doubt I cried more than any of the characters in the book.
The main male character Luca, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for, from when we first met him in the Rebel Guardians series. This book just made that soft spot bigger for him.
Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman, never fail to give us books, that I personally always feel as if I am apart of the story while reading it. They are both favourite authors of mine. I highly recommend the pair of them as authors and if you haven't read any of their books you need to run out and buy them, as you are well and truly missing out on a fantastic experience. I am so looking forward to what is next from the both of them, it doesn't matter if they are writing together or on there own, I will be reading those books.
To the both of them I say, Thank You for sharing your stories with us.

I'm excited to enter the new chapter of the Rebel Guardians MC! I absolutely adored the originals, and the next generation promise to be just as amazing! This duo of authors just get better with each new story they release.

Gypsy is a woman that needs a place to call her own, a family to call her own, a fresh start. Her childhood was the stuff nightmares are made of, and she barely made it out. But still, it haunts her, even as an adult. Meeting Luca put her on the path of a new life, and she's grateful, but she needs more, even if she doesn't know it.

Luca has his own horrific past, but since he was brought into the RGMC as a child, his life has been amazing, everything he could have ever wanted. Now he's home from his time serving his country, and it's time to find his own fresh start, begin his life. He has his best friends at his back, but he wants Gypsy at his side, beginning this new adventure with him.

This book was full of everything I look for in an MC romance. It had the strong familial bonds, the danger, the romance. This story was exactly what I expected from these authors, and perfectly fit Luca and Gypsy! They had a strong, immediate bond that never wavered, only grew as the story progressed. This was a wonderful addition to the RGMC and I can't wait for Tig's book!

Finally getting the second generation!! I was so excited to get Luca’s story as the start of the next generation from this MC. What I didn’t expect was his love interest, Gypsy, and her secret relation to the same club. After being mistreated from her mother and finding out the truth of her father, Gypsy started her story determined to meet him but then started to doubt herself. Meeting Luca while on her journey, she decided sticking with him would be her best course of action so that she could get to know the MC and determine if her father would really be receptive to meeting her, but she continues to chicken out. While Luca knows that there is something going on with Gypsy, the more he gets to know about her the faster he is falling for her. Between Luca starting up the new chapter of the MC and Gypsy finally confronting her past with her mother and meeting her father, this was a great overall start to the next generation and I can’t wait for more – especially after the teaser for Tig’s book at the end!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I just finished Reviving Luca and I gotta say, Darlene Tallman and Liberty Parker have the market cornered on sweet bikers! Luca is a former military man who grew up in the RGMC. Now he is ready to start his own chapter and show his dad and uncles that he learned their lessons well. Gypsy came to town for a different reason but found a man she could believe in when she met Luca. When he makes his feelings and intentions know, Gypsy wants him but can't reveal all her secrets yet. Luca is a smart guy and knows she is keeping somethings back but is intent on winning her trust and her affection. Watching Luca become the MC president he was always meant to be and Gypsy growing in confidence from his his support was awesome. I loved everything about this couple, not to mention Gypsy's companion and best friend, the dog diva Lucy! I am going to have to clear some time on my schedule and devour the previous books by this talented duo!

This writing duo has done it again!! Luca's story is everything and more. I love getting pulled into the RGMC world.
Luca all grown up is everything you would think he would be. He definitely takes after his dad when it comes to taking care of his woman. Gypsy is a bashful young woman who was mistreated by her mother. She originally moved to where the original chapter of the RGMC is to be near her father. Her background is heart wrenching, and I adore how Luca pulls her out of herself. She flourishes under him and finds her voice.
The slow burn between them was HOT! The patience and respect Luca shows her really builds their relationship into something stronger. We get to get caught up with a few older characters, and get to interact with a few new ones. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Luca and Gypsy's story was amazing! Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman gave us another fantastic read. Luca is opening up the new chapter for the MC and meets Gypsy. Sparks fly immediately. Gypsy has had a terrible childhood as is hard to trust anyone. Gypsy an awful relationship with her mother, who likes to remind her daily that she wasn't wanted. Gypsy goes on a search to find her father with whom her mother has only ever said didn't want kids. In her search for her father she meets Luca. Luca shows Gypsy something she has never had love , family, and belonging. Their story is very compelling and romance comes over time. Gypsy finds her father and learned that he never even knew about her, that he definitely loves her and wants her to be a part of his life. Between her father and Luca, Gypsy's heart begins to heal. An absolute must read...

Luca and Gypsy's story was amazing! Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman gave the readers another great read. A story of passion, heartbreak, healing, family, love, and loyalty. Luca is opening up the new chapter for the MC and meets Gypsy and her diva dog lucy. Gypsy has had a hard life growing up with a mother that never wanted her. Gypsy finds herself in Texas looking for the father she never knew. She meets Luca. Luca teaches her about love , family, and belonging. It is a beautiful romance that blossoms. Have your tissues handy. You'll need them. I highly recommend this book.

Absolutely loved it

Once again Darlene and Liberty have drawn me into the world of the RGMC and I never want to leave. The men and the women they love are absolutely amazing and I can't get enough. I'm so happy for Luca and Gypsy. Her story broke my heart, but now she has a family who will love her and protect. I can not wait to read Tig and Danika's story. Darlene and Liberty once again you have delivered another amazing book and although I know this series may one day end I for one hope it isn't any time soon.

I loved everything about this book! The Rebel Guardians MC are one of very favorite book series and this is no exception. Gypsy has known nothing but hardship and is trying to find the one person who may want her.... her dad that she has never met. Along the way she meets Luca and sparks fly. Luca knows when he meets Gypsy that she is his, he just has to convince her. All of this is happening as they are starting a new MC charter in Oklahoma. Read to find out how this all ends up. This was a fabulous book, a must read!!

The best one yet

I absolutely loved this story! Gypsy is trying to find herself after she has been verbally bewten down most of her life. Luca is starting fresh and beginning his own chapter, following in his dad's footsteps. The determination support and love that is grown between these two is phenomenal. This is definitely the best book I have read from Darlene and Liberty. I can't recomment it enough.

Liberty and Darlene have done it again, another 5star read for me! It has everything I want or need. Alpha men who protect what is their's with their life, strong women with sass, family, brotherhood, steel knights(harley's) and drama! This one has another favorite thing for me, with next generation stories, I get to visit with my previous fav characters. Damn, another addiction for me because I can't wait for the next book! Women get busy writing please!

Mmmm

I was expecting so much more in this book. Sorry to say this just felt flat and below my expectations. Although it was good to see DJ , Cara and some of the gang pop up in this book. But apart from that it didn't work for me the chemistry was not there for Luca and Gypsy it felt forced and rushed .

Wow I've been impatiently waiting for the next book and Liberty and Darlene didn't disappoint! Luca and Gypsy move to OK to start up a new charter in RGMC. Gypsy has had a rough life but Luca is determined to make he see her worth and be her knight in shining armor. Thru some twists and turns they finally do, can't wait to see where they take the new series.

I just love when Darlene Tallman and Liberty Parker write together. I'm a huge fan of MC and I love Luca and Gypsy so much. She has wall thicker than Fort Knox but Luca knows just how to break them down. I am excited to read more about this series and fall in love with more of these characters.
