Bolt

Iron Thunder MC #1

She might be the enemy.

When Cassie shows up looking for her brother,
I know she's trouble.
Just the kind I like.
Chip sold our shipment to a rival MC.
He's a traitor.
But is she?
I'll make it my mission to find out.
Even if that means tying her to my bed,
I'll get the answers I need.
She's feisty and stubborn,
Just my type.
She might be the enemy,
But, in the end,
She's the girl for me.

Cassie’s brother has a troubled past but when he disappears she knows something is wrong so she decides to approach Iron Thunder, the MC he was prospecting for.

Bolt is the Sargent of Arms who needs to ensure that she doesn’t report her brother missing like she is threatening to do. Her brother has betrayed the MC and he will be dealt with appropriately but he needs to determine if she is friend or foe but the chemistry between them isn’t making that determination any easier.

This story takes you on an action packed adventure filled with intrigue, twists and heat as Cassie gets caught in the crossfire.

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

Bolt: Iron Thunder MC

The blurb held promise but for this reader the complete story fell flat. Casey's was in serious need of having her ass paddled. Bolt had no alpha vibes. The storyline was the big brother was always looking for a get rich angle and this time screwed over those he swore to call brother. Sister tries to save said brother by being irrational, gung ho, and thinking stomping her foot and screaming like a spoiled brat would get results. Big fail.

For me the story held no fire,no oomph, no suspense. The characters no vibrancy to get intrigued. Sadly I won't be reading more from this author and series. Pity.

Nothing new!

Too quick, too easy! The romance happened faster than I had hoped. The problem that will carry over into the next book was even more predictable.

I’m definitely disappointed being that this was give a “best-seller” rating.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the first book in the new Iron Thunder MC series. Bolt is the Sergeant at arms for the MC and when they learn one of their own betrayed them, they vow to take revenge. Cassie is worried about her brother Chip and decides to go look for him. Cassie lands at the MC clubhouse and Bolt is left in charge of watching her, Cassie wants to see Chip, but Bolt will not let her and is unsure why she is there. Cassie wants her brother to be safe and threatens to go to the police. Bolt knows he can't let her do that, so he has to stay with her until he decides what to do with her. Cassie and Bolt are attracted to each other, but Bolt never has relationships, but he is drawn to Cassie in a way he never was to a woman before and Cassie hates she wants the man who has her under lockdown and won't let her see her brother. I liked this book, i really liked Bolt. Bolt was trying to do the right thing for everyone. Bolt wanted to be with Cassie, but he also knew her brother betrayed the MC and he wasn't sure if he could trust her. Cassie seemed to learn a lot about life in a short time. Cassie was a little naive at first, but i think she had her eyes opened very quickly. I look forward to reading the next book.

I have yet to write a review of less than 5 stars for any book by Savannah Rylan. And it looks like this new series she is co-writing with Kasey Krane will be no different. This book will take the reader on one helluva wild ride. Bolt is the Sergeant of Arms of the Iron Thunder MC. He is extremely loyal to his club and his club brothers. There is a zero tolerance for any form of betrayal. So when a prospect betrays the club he is captured and held while his reason for betrayal, outcome of said betrayal and punishment is decided. So when a spitfire of a woman, (Cassie) enters their clubhouse demanding information on her brother and creating an altercation with Bolt, it creates another scenario that they were unprepared for. Is Cassie involved in her brother's betrayal? Is this all an act to save herself or falsely project innocence? And why is her feistiness such a turn on for Bolt? The President of the club tasks Bolt to keep next to Cassie until her innocence or involvement can be proven. A task he willing accepts with great pleasure. This is another fantastic and entertaining start to what is sure to be an incredible series.

This is a splendid start to a new MC series & I really enjoyed reading this suspenseful MC romance & found the plot exceptionally well-written & intriguing, there is good scene descriptions & world building. The characters are well-developed, strong-willed & definitely very interesting with a variety of traits with a determination to succeed.
There is: A young woman (Cassie) looking for her brother (Chip) shows up at a clubhouse of the “Iron Thunder MC” & comes into contact with a MC Rider & Sergeant of Arms (Bolt) who has devious plans in store for her, not realizing that he is about to fall in love with her, a rival MC “Silver Knights”, threats, danger, enemies, conflict, violence, deceit, betrayal, traitors, vengeful feelings, devious plans, twists & turns, intrigue, drama, suspense, secrets, manipulations, insecurities, disagreements, defiance, confrontations, emotional turmoil, unease, anguish, decisions, heartache, accusations, distrust, discovery, realization, surprises, contentment, love, steamy scenes & a satisfying conclusion with a interesting ending.

Brilliant start to the series

Cassie storms into the Iron thunder mc clubhouse trying to find her brother as wanted to help him but when she did Cassie didn’t realise the trouble he had caused for the MC and that he belonged there he always told her it was just a bar.
Bolt grabbed Cassie around yp the waist stopping her from getting to her brother Chip. With Cassie kicking and screaming he took her into the office to find out who she was and what she wanted. Bolt never expected to say she was chip’s sister and the reaction he had to her. Bolt decided he would keep an eye on her which meant spending all his time with her. Even with war brewing with the rival MC he couldn’t keep his mind of Cassie and claiming her as his own he’s not sure how long he can keep from claiming her as he needs to concentrate on the MC.
The relationship between Cassie and Bolt is exciting and immediate attraction to each other even though Bolt is unsure whether he can trust her only time will tell.

Bolt is the Sergeant at Arms of the Iron Thunder MC. He wants nothing more to protect his MC and move forward with life. Everyone has their past, but when Bolt sees Cassie, he feels a pull towards her that can't be explained. But he only meets Cassie when she comes looking for her brother and tries to do her best to save him. Will Bolt be able to survive Cassie or fall prey to love?

Cassie just wants her brother back safely. But when Cassie finds the Iron Thunder clubhouse, she finds much more than she bargains for. She wants to do so much to Bolt, but at the same time she wants to be loyal to her brother. Did her brother really betray his MC? Will they let him live?

This story has everything from lust, love, romance, mystery, danger, violence, twists and turns and so much more. Bolt and Cassie are a dream!!! But when Hope comes home and helps, will that help or hurt the Iron Thunder? I received an ARC of this book from the author.

What a fantastic new MC romance from Savannah Rylan and Kasey Krane. Bolt the Sergeant of Arms from the Iron Thunder MC has just volunteered to be a babysitter and keep Cassie away from her traitor of a brother. Cassie is a cafe owner who has always been the more responsible between her and her brother. When she discovers her brother’s in trouble she will do anything to protect him. But who will protect her from the man she feels an instant connection with and against a rival MC wanting revenge. Bolt is exactly what readers would expected from the member of a motorcycle crew- strong, rough around the edges, an alpha male, yet protective of women. Cassie is strong willed, loyal, and protective of those she loves. Readers will this fast paced captivating new book. Filled with disloyalty, betrayal, danger, suspense, passion, instant attraction, and love readers won’t want to put this down. I can’t wait for the release of Flash.

[M Hurford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bolt is Book One and has the responsibility of introducing us to the MC, Iron Thunder, and its core members. And that was done perfectly. The book stayed on Bolt, the MC’s Sgt. of Arms but gave enough color to the other members that I got a sense of who they are and how the club is run.
Bolt met his love interest, Cassie, when she shows up to help her brother who is a Prospect member and all she is doing is interfering with club business (aka punishing brother). Bolt becomes responsibility for her. Their constant togetherness brings up carnal and emotional feelings. But is it too dangerous to act on those feelings? After all there is a rival gang out to even the score...but why?
This is a good solid book one that leaves you wanting to read the next one, Flash.
I’m definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure. Peace.

Love these MC books, always a great read

Great book. Chip has been disloyal to his MC and sold off their shipment to pay his debts but he’s been caught and has to pay the price. His sister Cassie follows him to find out where he’s going. She follows him straight to his MC club where the brothers didn’t know Chip had a sister. She’s immediately taken by Bolt to be watched while her brother is dealt with. She threatens to call police etc when she hears her brother’s screams. She owns and runs her own cafe and tells Bolt she needs to show up or people will be looking for her. He agrees to let her go but sits in the cafe all day watching her every move. Eventually they realise there’s a connection between them and Cassie realises the truth about her her brother and therefore chooses Bolt over her brother Chip. Yet again another great read

[Jenn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I honestly liked Bolt a lot. However, Drax and Flash, not so much. I thought Cassie was an idiot for going up to their club house- but I loved how Bolt took charge and was protective of her. And I really felt like Bolt should have been the Prez of this club by the way he acts to some degree, you would think it was his to rule. Unfortunately- I felt like this book of bikers is more of a gang then an MC.

I liked: the story premise, Chip becoming a traitor, and how Bolt and Cassie get together.

I didn’t like how the authors didn’t check their edits better. Or maybe they forgot what they said in one portion of the book? Basically, I hated that I had to go back to read and make sure I didn’t miss something because the ending didn’t match up to Flash’s POV in the epilogue. Cassie finds a note on her bed from the other MC while she’s with Bolt at her place towards the end. But when Bolt slams his way into the clubhouse doors, he tells Flash Cassie found a piece of paper in her pocket that the other MC must have put there when they had her. Uhhhhhh... when did they ever have her? Never. And that same stupid mistake carries over into book 2.

Also!!
I just finished book 3 and the same stupid mistake is made at the end when Mary-Beth and Mercy have a conversation in the main room at a table in the club house. A bunch of stuff is said and Drax shows up behind her with some guys. But then bam, in Ghost’s POV in the epilogue it’s completely done differently and things are said differently.

So??! What’s the deal? Do they forget what was written? Not check their own stories and edits better?

This was a freaking amazing new MC Romance i couldn't put it down. This was a great start to the Iron Thunder MC, bolt is the Sgt. Of Arms in the Iron Thunder MC he is called in the earlier morning hours after a hookup because some in there MC has betrayed them a sold there guns to there enemies and it happens to be Chip someone that Bolt trusted. Cassie comes to find her brother and ends up getting caught and threatens to call police if they don't let her leave with her, Bolt asks he could guard her till things blew over because he thinks she is someone he would be interested in cause there were instant sparks. This is one you can't put down full of lies, hate, lust, betrayal and much more. I received an ARC copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

[Ashante Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

🤔 not sure how I feel about this one. So there's Bolt, the SAA of the MC and then there's Cassie the sister of a new member of the same MC. Her brother does something stupid and Cassie goes out searching for him, only to run blindly into the MC's clubhouse. Then Cassie is being held captive by Bolt while he determines if she can be trusted all the while the two are lusting after each other. Can you say "Stockholm syndrome"? I can 🙋🏾‍♀️. So this is happening while her brother is also being held in a cell. But everything is okay because she realizes that the MC is good and she doesn't know how her brother can do what he did. So, it's a little weird. Not sure about the series, but I'll see about the next book.

Awesome read!

Bolt is angry as his club has just been betrayed in the worst way possible. Finding out Chip, a fully patched member, has stolen their latest shipment and sold it to a rival club leaves the club on edge. So when Cassie, Chip’s sister, shows up out of the blue demanding to see her brother Bolt does the only thing can do and that is keep her by his side at all times. She cannot be trusted and until they find their way out of this situation with Chip she is stuck with him whether she likes it or not.

Loved Cassie and Bolt’s chemistry. Great first book of a new series.

Fantastic start to a new series by this duo of authors. They once again bring a cast of colorful characters centering on Bolt,Sergeant of Arms in The Iron Thunder MC and Cassie , feisty sister of a prospect accused of betrayal to the club. Sparks fly between the two in more ways than one. It's a captivating story that had me glued to the pages with all the twists and turns as well as the sizzling romance. It's brought to life with their detailed and descriptive scenes. I loved this book and am looking forward to the next book! Highly recommend.

Cassie is naive and soon finds out she is out of her element when she goes to the Iron Thunder MC demanding answers about her brother. Not knowing anything about how an MC works, she soon gets a wakeup call when she threatens the club. Bolt, the Sgt. of Arms takes charge of Cassie because now they can't let her walk away. Their story is filled with loads of drama, suspense, violence and betrayals, with some hot sexy scenes as Cassie and Bolt find a middle ground. Kasey Krane & Savannah Rylan's new 'Iron Thunder MC' series is going to be a must read for MC enthusiasts. **I was gifted "Bolt" via Savannah Rylan and leave my review based on my reading** 5 Stars!

When Cassie went chasing after her brother, she never expected the trouble she would come across or Bolt. Chip had crossed his MC and had to pay the price. When everything comes out into the open, Cassie will have to face the fact that her brother has some unsavory practices that has caught up with him. Bolt took one look at Cassie and knew she was going to be his. Their feelings sparks a passion hot enough to send a rocket into space but will it stay that way if they have to do away with her brother? This action packed story will have you on edge to see what is going to unfold with Bolt and Cassie! I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.

This is a great start to a new series, Bolt is packed with plenty of drama and action throughout the story. Bolt and Cassie have an interesting first meeting when she tracks down her brother who has betrayed the Iron Thunder MC and she wants to help and protect him.
Bolt makes her realize what he's done and that nothing can help him but himself. As Bolt keeps Cassie close, they become closer and finally give into the chemistry between them.
Oh my, I can't wait for the next book, plenty more drama to come.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bolt is the Sergeant of Arms for the Iron Thunder. Chip is a member who has gone against the MC. Cassie is his sister who us always protecting him.
When Chip betrays the club and Cassie tries to come to his rescue Bolt steps in.
There is attraction.
This story was just so do for me. Cassie starts out like a spitfire but then just fizzles. Bolt is hard nose but he then just succumbs to his need for Cassie.
Some action with the club that stole their shipment and if course sexy scenes.
I'm hoping it gets more intense with Flash's book.
I'm giving an honest voluntary review.

This is a new series by Kasey Krane & Savannah Rylan. It involves Bolt the SOA of the Iron Thunder MC. It was a real good start to a new series. Cassie's looking for her brother Chip, but she doesn't know that he's a traitor to the MC and being held by them. She decides to go to the Iron Thunder clubhouse to try and find him and clashes with Bolt. Bolt is attracted to Cassie but he's tasked by the Pres to keep an eye on Cassie in case she's working with another MC like her brother. Great book. Can't wait for more.

Bolt is the Sergeant of Arms from the Iron Thunder MC. Bolt is strong, rough around the edges, an alpha male, yet protective of women who's brother betrays his own club. Cassie is strong willed, loyal, and protective of her brother until she learns the truth and falls in love with Bolt. This fast paced and filled with disloyalty, betrayal, danger, suspense, passion, instant attraction, and love and from the minute I picked it up I couldn't put it down.
