Devil's Riot MC #8

Burner's Absolution

Rate this book
Blurb:

Ally 

When it comes to absolution, there are are two things you must do to find it- facing your fears, and moving forward from your past. Honestly, it isn't for me. I'll never find it because I'm a piece of flesh who's a shell of a woman. In a sense, I'm merely a ghost.

In all my life, I've only ever felt peace once.

Although, I'm sure I'll never feel it again since the one who brought it into my life has his own demons. Monsters that are almost as horrific as mine. 

I only wonder . . . if a second chance came along . . . would it be possible for us both to find the salvation we deserve, or are we eternally damned by those who hurt us? 
If only time were on our side. If that was the case, I think I'd know the answer.

No one probably realised what poor Ally went through when she was with the cult, not until Burner found the letter Casimir sent her and she thrust her box of journals into his, her brother and Uncle and the rest of the brothers hands, Burner realised he loved her and would protect her, but there is another threat still out there, one that he will stop and then he will stop Casimir.
Ally does not want her brother and his family hurt, she has come to care for them all, especially Burner, but she holds herself away from him, she knows he will only love Janey, even though he swears he loves her and even claims her as his Ol Lady, she can see no other choice but to go to Casimir until Burner stops her, she knows she is on borrowed time, but lets down her guard and lets Burner in.

Fast paced, action packed and page turning, I actually devoured this in one sitting, I really am not joking when I say I could not put it down, also grab a box of tissues as you will need them, I cannot say why because it will spoil the story, as it is, this is an emotional one for me knowing that it is the last one in this charter series, but we are promised more with the DRMC Originals and I cannot wait.

I am really loving this whole series, E.C. Land has definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! Burner’s Absolution is a fantastic addition to an already amazing series. Burner and Ally have been forming a friendship over time. Both feel like they’re too broken for any sort of relationship until it’s almost too late. Loved how sweet and caring Burner is toward Ally, he gives her time, but also lets her know that he’s not going away and he doesn’t. Really quick, exciting read, absolutely couldn’t put it down and read it in less than a day. I’m looking forward to the next installment, these guys and their significant others are such great reads! Fabulous job, Ms. Land, keep it up...please!

HOLY COW!!! EC has outdone herself with this one. This one blew my mind..

Ally is Hades sister and has been away from him for a long time.. She has been held captive but she is doing it to protect her brother. When she finds her way to his clubhouse she knows she isn't free but she can hope right?

Burner has fallen in love with Ally but he won't let himself tell her or show her.. He vowed he would never love another after losing the love of his life.. But now he sees that Ally is meant for him but he has no idea the hell she has been through, he knows it's bad though

Can Burner show Ally love and bring her justice?

Burner has had horrible tragedy in his life and after losing his Janey he's certain he'll never love again. Ally has been to hell and back. She's been tortured in ways that most wouldn't live through. She's at the clubhouse after her and Hades, her brother are saved from the cult that believes the women in her family are Chosen. She and Burner are put through more trials than anyone should have to go through. They have a deep and ferocious love for each other and it shows in how they handle every situation they find themselves in. In the end they find the absolution they're both seeking in each other.

This series just keeps amping up the greatness!! This is Burner and Ally’s story and it is very intense. These 2 are broken, but need each other in a very real way. The story is heartbreaking, intense and very satisfying!!! These stories are not for the faint of heart, but are well worth the emotions involved. I highly recommend taking this ride with the Devil’s Riot MC!! Loved this book!!!

Help

Nine books. At least nine very similar, completely avoidable kidnappings resulting in a laundry list of abuses of the nine women+ in the club. The kidnapping scenario in this book involves a man who, after witnessing the kidnappings of all the other women (basically by the same group of people), ignores his gut-turning instinct that something is horribly wrong and, voila, kidnapping #9! Literally feet away from their "church". Except for the inexplicably abusive trauma counselor in one of the first several books, no one has even spoken the words " therapy" or "counseling". The guys in the club are kind of like the MC version of the Keystone Cops, with a lot more violence. I liked a lot of the characters, but the men were obviously clueless when it comes to protecting their own.

Can I hear a cheer for Burner finding love after the tragedy of losing Janey all those years ago? He thought he'd never be able to love anyone else. Until he met Ally. She had been kept in captivity and lived with indescribable abuse for years. She got her brother and uncle back but had to learn to live in this world. When she decides to leave the MC to live alone to protect them from her master, Burner finally realizes he loves her and wants her to be his. But there is more than one force out ther determined to have her and destroy his second chance at happiness and her first. Dark but so appropriate with what she endured.

Great

Ally is learning how to live life, she was raised in a horrible home growing up, now she's working st a tattoo shop. Burner is a member of  the Devil's Riot MC. The first time they meet is when she shows up at the clubhouse with her brother whos apart of the mc. The attraction is there but eith Ally's past and being the sister of one of his mc brothers  Burner has kept his distance. That is until he finally gives in. But what will happen when both their pasts come at them? Will there be a HEA?

So the editing has improved slightly but is still a WIP. Apart from that this was an interesting enough read but not outstanding. How can this lot manage to get all their women kidnapped, many by the same group? This had the potential to be a great series, however there were way too many holes in the plots throughout the series and the storylines were all very similar. Not the best MC series I've read but then again not the worst, however I am surprised at the number of 5 stars in the reviews as it's not a 5 star series.

hard to put down

I love this series, the good and bad and it’s been hard to put down. I know there are more in the series but they are characters that I haven’t heard from yet so I’m wondering where they are going to go. This book seems to be the close of this particular storyline but the next few books could prove me wrong. The characters are still impressive and I would love to have friends like these. Yes there are triggers so be aware of that but it suits the mood of the books so well.

This was so good

Allys revenge...alley gets payback on the world and gets her man...yeah those are crap title options but Burners woman is the bad ass I've been waiting for. Don't me wrong all the females in the series are amazing but ive been hoping for one like alley whose inner strength comes out. Shes a small bit sassy and all for giving herself to keep others safe. She's the heroine to beat.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a really great book in the series. I really enjoy it most of the characters. This was a book of obsession, destruction, manipulation, and coming into your own. Also defending and protecting yourself. I really enjoy this book in the series. Great read! Oh I was happy the young lady came out of her shyness which she had a reason to be shy and withdrawn. I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

Great

This book focuses on more of one of the women who was taken before the series began which is a fitting ending right now to the series I like that they got thbad guy but I think there is still more out there and I thin there going to come out of the woodwork if there is another book but I can't be sure of that but there is an opportunity for it to happen in the future

Another great read by this author and hate for it to end, but sure it will continue with other charters. This theme continues in this book with the cult wanting the chosen. When Ally turns herself over to protect a brother, she meets even more torture. Burner goes beserk when she goes missing again. More danger, cruelty and revenge reaped. HEA AND NEW BABIES.

This was another emotional read from author E.C. Land. I have enjoyed reading along while this author develops her craft of weaving a story that CA draw some emotion out of the reader for the characters. This series started with a lot of room to grow and it has. I hope this author keeps going as she has good potential.

I stumbled upon this author having been on a hunt for great MC stories.

Once I started one of the books by EC I had to read them all.

I have fallen in love with each and every member who get their own stories and women. Holy hotness!

The only thing I don't like is how short the stories are but EC makes it feel like you are reading a full book.

Talk about sizzling! This story is hot, heavy and intense. Burner and Alley has endured so much in life and they are connected through the MC after she and her brother are saved from the cult. This nonstop action will have you on the edge of your seats with all the drama and action.

That was crazy!! Even though allie's been gone since she was a little girl and just found recently, her past comes back again. But not only that asshole but a asshole from his past 2. He can finally get his revenge after all these yrs. But can he find a way 2 let Allie into his heart after everything in his past? It was good. I was surprised on a few spots.

Good

How many times do I get to say, " I really like this story and this series?
The trials one may go through and come out the other side has the potential to be very bad or very good. It is how we get through them that shows we are stronger than we think we are even when we feel so weak.

Ally rescued

Burner has lost a lot in his life. He thought he'd never have room in his heart to love again. Then Ally enters his life. She brightens up his life like none other.

Very good story!

DRMC rocks.

Man Burner and Ally’s story did bring it all home for this DRMC chapter. I love the vivid way these guys and gals deal with the men and women who cross them. The punishment fits the crimes.
