Life isn’t promised, love isn’t easy, and relationships aren’t always clean, but everyone has their soulmate who is willing to forgive when it would be better to forget.
Trevor “Tank” Trumbolt
I never thought in the blink of an eye my life could change, but it did. Cresting a hill driving to my favorite fishing spot, I was hit head-on by a teenager with no regard for anyone’s life but his own.
The recovery process has been hard, painful, and damn near beating me down.
The bright spot? Blaze.
Surviving the wreck has given me a second chance to make a life with her. Not knowing if I’ll ever be able to rejoin the Moonshine Task Force again has brought my world into focus. It’s made me realize what’s important.
Blaze. Stella. My brothers. My sister.
The ego that ran Blaze away before isn’t here any longer. What’s left is a man who’s holding his heart in his hands and a burning hope that once I’m healed she’ll still be around.
Daphne “Blaze” Coleman
There’s only been one person in the world who’s accepted me for who I am - from the fiery red of my hair and vibrant tattoos covering parts of my body to the smartness of my mouth and my desire to be matched in the bedroom.
That man is Trevor Trumbolt. When he asked me to give up my job as an EMT because he saw the dangers I face one scary afternoon, it spelled the end for us.
Now that he’s been injured, he needs my help and my love. I’ll give it all freely, but in the end I’m gonna need him to understand one thing about relationships. The give and take, love and sadness, pleasure and pain is a two-way street. He’s either in this with me or he’s not, but at the end of the day, I won’t let him boss me around.
If there’s anything that can handle the steel of a tank – it’s the heat of a blaze.

Sigh. Another one I'm not sure about.
I was really excited to get Tank's story after finishing Renegade but sadly I think I got my expectations too high. This second chance romance was well written and had some very intriguing parts to it, but the connection between Tank and Blaze just didn't work for me.
Blaze and Tank had dated before the events of this story but broke up when Blaze was put in danger because of her job and Tank wanted her to quit. Not one to let a man dictate her life, Blaze left. But when Tank is in an accident she realizes that life is too short to give up on love and she tells Tank she wants to try and make their relationship work.
So first let me say that this book did have many parts where I was liking the story and characters. Blaze and Tank had a pretty strong relationship and it was hard to not admire two people in tough jobs making it in life together. Tank was having a hard time after his accident but Blaze was always there for them and I really liked seeing that.
My issues came from the fact that I felt like we were dropped in the middle of their relationship. I'm not a huge fan of second chance romance and this book was exactly why I used to avoid them. I kept hoping that more would be revealed about their past so we could see a true chemistry between them, but that never happened. Even personal information about Blaze seemed to be glanced over as if we were supposed to already know all about her character. I just didn't like feeling so lost in their relationship and it made some of the reading a little meh for me.
Overall, I did like some of this story and I will certainly be reading more from this series. Despite my issues with the story I would recommend it for anyone that likes a second chance romance with two strong characters.

Laramie Briscoe offers up a second chance love story in Tank, the second book in her Moonshine Task Force series. Months apart after a serious conversation gone wrong, two stubborn people are forced with a life and death situation that brings them back together. Seeing each other at their worst once again makes them both take a hard look at their lives and make a decision to take the second chance they’ve been given and work on repairing their fragile relationship. Intense and emotional but not overly angst filled, Tank is two people thankful for the second chance they got and determined to find the happiness they both deserve.
As and EMT Daphne “Blaze” Coleman is use to responding to accidents and seeing victims in bad shape, but that didn’t prepare her for seeing her estranged boyfriend Trevor “Tank” Trumbolt battered, bruised and bleeding following a traffic accident. Knowing she must do her best to keep him alive until the med-vac team can get him, Blaze puts aside her feelings and does just that even though it brings memories of her past to the forefront. As Tank recovers Blaze is there every step of the way, but they still haven’t addressed what broke them apart before the accident and figuring it out might be harder than they both realize.
In the first book of this series, we got a hint at something going on between Blaze and Tank which comes into full focus almost immediately in this book. I appreciated that Blaze and Tank had both come to the realization that they wanted to reconnect and that given the seriousness of Tank’s accident that Blaze was determined to help him recuperate fully and put their difference aside to help him do it. I like that they both realized how lucky they were to get a second chance and they were determined not to squander it even if that meant putting their differences aside for a while. There was no doubt the connection between them and while I’m not a fan of flashbacks, I would have like to see more of their time together before the accident as I felt like I was missing a big part of who they were as a couple. Don’t get me wrong, they both felt blessed to have a chance to repair their relationship, watching them together it was easy to see the affection and love between them, but I feel like I missed some critical moments early that would have made it easier to understand their connection.
There were many heartfelt, sweet, sexy, and touching moments in Tank making it an exciting and very enjoyable romance.

When I first read about Tank and Blaze in the previous book. I couldn't wait to read their story. We were given hints about their relationship in the first book and maybe I expected too much that I ended up just liking it. And if I have to be honest about it, I love Renegade more than Tank. He is more mature.
And I am getting a star off because Tank went on dates with other women while they were separated to make her jealous. Nothing happened with these women, though. Just not cool for me.

Trevor “Tank” has been a fantasy man come true for me and he belongs to “Blaze”!! How unfair is it that the love of our book lives always belong to someone else. cries sad human tears because I’m not in a romance novel 😒🥹😞!!
But on another note you guys know I need to show you the scene that ultimately devastated me !!
“Life is too short, you should know it better than anyone after what you’ve just gone through. If you really think about it, Trev, I think you’ll understand you want the people you love to do things that make them happy, even if they die doing it. At least you’ll know they died with a smile on their face, doing what they were called to do,” she gestures to her chest. “Because me? I know you and Ryan were born to do what you do.
If this right here doesn’t sell you on this book I am soo disappointed ☹️!! Tank is like any other 20 something he wants to live a life that’s fast and loose then he finds a girl who turns his life upside down. What he doesn’t do is keep the girl. He kisses her makes her fall in love with him and throws more penalties than a ref during the Super Bowl 😜!!
Tank has seen a lot of things and he wants Blaze for the longest ride and the only way he thinks he can have her is if he keeps her safe. But what do you do when you’ve got a girl who has a fire 🔥 in her to save the world ?!
You hold on for the darn ride of your life and let her soar !!
Happy reading everyone !!

I absolutely loved Tank!!! This is the second book in the series and I practically devoured it from the start. I'm a huge a huge fan of Laramies writing, she has a way of sucking you in from the first page and keeps you engaged until the very last.
I loved Tank in the first book and was so happy we got to continue reading his story. We got a glimpse of Tank and Blaze in book 1 but, when Tank had a accident Blaze is his guardian angel and together there forced to discuss and evaluate everything they've been avoiding for a long time.
Even though this is a standalone I recommend starting with book 1, Renegade, cause if they the books intertwine.

I really wanted to be blown away by this second installment of the Moonshine Task Force. The relationship between Blaze and Tank was teased throughout Renegade, and I was SO EXCITED for it. Blaze especially, sounded like my kind of girl. It didn't quite live up to my expectations, but I was engaged enough that I still want to find out what happens in the "Strather" storyline.
I'm not a huge fan of angst, and part of why I like Laramie Briscoe is that her books aren't about that. You don't feel like something was added to the story just to cause problems. The relationships feel like they progress naturally, and without stupidity.
The next book, Havoc, has also been teased since Renegade. The dynamic of Havoc & Leighton sounds adorable, and I'm excited to see how their romance plays out. I'm sure we'll get a lot more detail on the "Strather" storyline, and I'm ready to find out more about that.

Life isn’t promised, love isn’t easy, and relationships aren’t always clean, but everyone has their soulmate who is willing to forgive when it would be better to forget.
Trevor “Tank” Trumbolt
I never thought in the blink of an eye my life could change, but it did. Cresting a hill driving to my favorite fishing spot, I was hit head-on by a teenager with no regard for anyone’s life but his own.
The recovery process has been hard, painful, and damn near beating me down.
The bright spot? Blaze.
Surviving the wreck has given me a second chance to make a life with her. Not knowing if I’ll ever be able to rejoin the Moonshine Task Force again has brought my world into focus. It’s made me realize what’s important.
Blaze. Stella. My brothers. My sister.
The ego that ran Blaze away before isn’t here any longer. What’s left is a man who’s holding his heart in his hands and a burning hope that once I’m healed she’ll still be around.
Daphne “Blaze” Coleman
There’s only been one person in the world who’s accepted me for who I am - from the fiery red of my hair and vibrant tattoos covering parts of my body to the smartness of my mouth and my desire to be matched in the bedroom.
That man is Trevor Trumbolt. When he asked me to give up my job as an EMT because he saw the dangers I face one scary afternoon, it spelled the end for us.
Now that he’s been injured, he needs my help and my love. I’ll give it all freely, but in the end I’m gonna need him to understand one thing about relationships. The give and take, love and sadness, pleasure and pain is a two-way street. He’s either in this with me or he’s not, but at the end of the day, I won’t let him boss me around.

My Thoughts:
This is the second book in the Moonshine Task Force series and it doesn’t disappoint. I love second chance romance and the author does a great job providing a great story with just enough fun banter, sexy times, emotional situations and great feels.
Tank and Blaze are thrown into a situation that they will never forget. They had broken up six months ago over words that should never have been spoken and were deeply regretted when Tanks life was hanging in the balance. Blaze was on duty the day Tank was in a car accident and she can vividly remember it all and she is so thankful that she has the chance to give the relationship another try. Tank has no memory of the accident, but he is in for the long haul to get back to his former health and to get back the love of the woman that he knows is the love of his life.
This book takes you on the journey of a deep love that Tank and Blaze have for each other and the genuine want to repair the damage they did to their relationship. They are both stubborn and have tempers. They know they need to work through their differences on how the relationship moves forward. Blaze was Tank’s caregiver during his recovery and it was the best thing for them. They learned that there can be no holding back on their feelings and there can be no secrets between them. Their chemistry is smoking hot and they are so good together.
I loved Tank and Blaze’s story and I can’t wait for more.

I am loving this series! Tank and Blaze had a lot to work through, but they knew they could do it because they knew what was at stake.
I'm dying for the next book! Come on August!

This is a the second book in the Moonshine Task Force series. This one follows Tank and picks up right at the end of the previous story. This is sort of a second chance romance, although in their hearts, I don't think Tank and Blaze were ever apart---just taking a breather for awhile.
Heart wrenching life events often force us to look at what is important. Petty fights drop way off. Despite the circumstance, I appreciated Blaze supporting Tank through his recovery while still holding true to who she was. It takes a bit for the rocks to get knocked out of Tank's head but he has always known Blaze was the one for him. When he finally gets himself sorted, she is still there, willing to be by his side. I think overall, Blaze was the more interesting character in the story.
Great writing once again by this author. Wonderful set up for the next book! That one looks like it will be interesting.

I have to say, there was a lot about Tank that I enjoyed with the first book in this series Renegade . He was a supportive big brother. He was a protector of his community and he was a military man which means he was tops in terms of protecting his country. There wasn’t much about him I didn’t love (aside from his initial reaction to Renegade and his sister), so it was a no-brainer that I wanted to dive straight into his story so I could see him get what I did believe he richly deserved.
And get it he does, and with a spitfire named Blaze.
Now there’s history alluded to between Blaze and Tank long before we even get into their story, and a little bit more told about their time before the present in this one. I just wish there was more showing of it. That’s not to say that a major event in their history wasn’t shown here as the story takes place, because it was, and very well done I might add, but I wanted more in order to deepen the connection for me to them like I was with the previous couple.
I did connect mind you, and just like the first story, their backgrounds are quite relatable. I really found myself feeling for Blaze when she finally opens up about her reason for doing the job she’s in and what she lived through. My eyes even misted listening to it because again, it’s something that could affect you, affect me, basically affect anyone. I even understood Tank and his desire to get back to work after the accident he lived through. Needing to do what he honestly was born to, it was impossible not to relate. I can only imagine the struggle to come back from something like that.
These two were just as steamy as the couple in the previous book, but not in a way that I think was over the top. It worked well for them.
In the end, I got pretty much everything I would have wanted from this second book in the series and I’m so glad that I got to be a part of Tank and Blaze’s journey to happily ever after.
My thanks to the author and all others involved in letting me read this before the official release. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this author and the series!

Tank is the second book in Laramie Briscoe’s Moonshine Task Force series. First of all I suggest that you make sure to read Renegade first since they two are interconnected in their storylines.
This is a second chance romance between Tank and Blaze. We didn’t experience the beginning of their relationship, as this took place before the events of Renegade, but we know that Tank wanted Blaze to quit her job due to the dangers she is subjected to, which is why they broke up. Tank picks up right at the end of Renegade, and therefore the reader gets to jump straight into their undefined relationship.
What I really liked about this book, was the fact that we get to experience a relationship between two people who hold dangerous jobs, and even though these jobs are the foundation if their issues, they are both willing to fight for their relationship. Blaze is really the hero of this story. She is strong, willful, stubborn and but most of all, she stays to fights for what she wants, when Tank is pushing her away. Despite his behavior, he really is a sweetheart underneath his alpha personality, where he accepts Blaze for who she is, which is something she isn’t used to.
Ms. Briscoe once again delivers a well-written romance with great characters, who seems more realistic, with their desire to fight and accept each other. This book doesn’t have any unnecessary drama, which is an added bonus. All the while she keeps building up the overall arc of the series, which continuously keeps me at the edge of my seat. Tank is another great installment to this series and a solid 4.5 star read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Tank is the second book in Laramie Briscoe's Moonshine Task Force Series. You do however need to read Renegade before you read Tank.
Trevor "Tank" Trumbolt life changed in the blink of an eye. A terrible accident and his recovery is hard, painful and darn near beating him down. His bright spot in all this is Blaze. Surviving the wreck has given Tank a second chance to make a life with her. He doesn't even know if he will be able to join the Moonshine Task Force ever again and has brought his world into focus. It has made him realize what is important. Blaze. Stella. His brothers. His sister. His ego ran Blaze away before but that is gone. What is left is a man holding his heart in his hands and a burning hop that once he is healed Blaze will still be around.
Get ready for the ride of two extremely stubborn people. I don't think I have ever seen two characters as stubborn as Blaze and Tank. They butt heads all the time and can never ever seem to compromise. Then Tank's accident happens. But Blaze is holding on to one incredibly big secret. To tell him she must trust Tank completely. It could change everything or it could pull her out of the darkness she has been living in for so long. These two will absolutely drive you up a wall and back down again but the ride is so worth it in the end. This book is amazing and I loved every second I spent with Tank and Blaze.

(4 stars)
At the end of book one: Renegade, we saw Tank/Trevor in a bad car crash. Blaze, the woman he was in love with but had also broken up with, was the paramedic who caught the call to attend to him. This story deals with the aftermath of the accident and whether Trevor will ever be able to return to his job as a police officer after what happened to him, and whether Trevor and Blaze will be able to try again with each other.
This was a good, drama filled book and we got a little back story into what happened between the pair to cause them to break up in the first place. I would have liked a little more action I think, considering this series is about the task force members, I personally would have liked some police action. I really liked the chemistry between Blaze and Trevor though, and the next couple to get a book were set up nicely.
Overall, I enjoyed Tank, it was a nice story with some good sexy times, but I wanted just a little more from it I think. I’m going to give Tank 4 stars.

Tank is the second title in the Moonshine Task Force. Tank's story starts off where book one in the Moonshine Task Force, Renegade left off with Trevor involved in a horrible car accident. Tank's story focuses on Trevor's dealing with the aftermath of the car accident, healing and the rebuilding of the relationship between the couple.
Blaze and Trevor's chemistry is intense and believable, both are complex and endearing characters, who develop over the course of the story line. Their story is full of drama, emotion and filled with angst.
Overall I found Tank, an enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance. This story line doesn't have the level of suspense and action in the first book. Although Tank can be read as a standalone, in my opinion, I would recommend reading the previous title Renegade, as the stories cross over at several points, and revolve around a central set of characters.

This book starts with Trevor/Tank been involved in a bad car crash that ex girlfriend/ medic Blaze attends. Having had a relationship in the past, there's a lot of unresolved feelings and regrets between them which we find out more about in this book. With Trevor's future police career now unknown, he's got a hard road to recovery in his future. With Blaze there to help him get back to normal, it's not long before the chemistry between them builds and their love is rekindled.
Knowing what they both could have lost adds a new dimension to their relationship. They start to open up, Blaze especially, and you get to know why Blaze is how she is.
I enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, it's hot, it's all about second chances and I loved watching the relationship between Blaze and Tank develop and grow.

Laramie Brisco puts out another heartfelt read with Tank! And I really enjoyed the maturity between the MCs in this second-chance romance as they dealt with their issues and came to a resolution.
Tank is the story of Trevor, Whitney's brother from Renegade, and the story begins with the car crash in Renegade that nearly killed Trevor. Tank's ex-girlfriend, Blaze, is one of the medics who responds to the call, and as Trevor fights for his life, she is forced to come to terms with how much she loves him and whether she's willing to fight to salvage their relationship.
When Blaze moves in with Tank to help him with his recovery, the pair must face their demons, and honestly answer some tough questions about their relationship and the reasons behind their split. It was refreshing to see how Blaze and Tank handle the situation like mature adults, and really take to heart just how delicate life can be and to not take things for granted.

I liked this one better than the 1st one, but it was still a bit forgettable. I did really like that after the accident Tank and Blaze talked more about what went wrong the first time they dated. It didn't happen right away, but both of them wanted the relationship enough that they took the time, which was a huge win in the long run. It also helped when Blaze shared facts about her past and why her job was so important to her. Tank had a great thought about things after learning the truth, which seemed to make all the difference to them both.

I looked forward to this book after the bang that started in book 1. Unfortunately I found it tough to get through. It was so boring! Within the first couple of chapters are characters clear up their issues and its mostly just a story of Tank recovering. I would have preferred this to start back when they first met, covered the initial falling in love, the break, then all this. It just didn’t hit me much when it was all halfway memories of history. Plus there were very few conversations with characters outside the couple. Ryan and Whitney are understandably mostly absent and we don’t see much of the other guys, except a scene with Holden cause he’s next.

I can say with confidence that I spent the first 10 chapter and the last 10 chapters of this crying. I am a big fan of emotional roller coasters but this one hit me in the feels so hard I need a hug. It’s crazy when the world plays a hand at keeping the one you love the most safe.
This book was well written and every part was more intense than the last I can’t wait to read Holden’s story.
Happy reading everyone 😜🤪🤣🫣🥲😭

I loved this book. Tank and Blaze, her especially, are awesome. I love the maturity and growth in Laramie's writing here, it's not so different from her other books but it feels different. The story is great too. I love the growth tank and blaze show here as well as their strength and determination. A truly great read!

This is my confession: Laramie Briscoe has definitely hit her stride with her new 'Moonshine Taskforce' series. The story of the seem fully star-crossed lovers Tank and Blaze are no exception. Pulled apart by disagreements in occupation and brought back together by a near fatal accident go to show that love will find a way no matter what. Readers are also given a glimpse in Havoc and Leighton as the next installment and it looks like it has the potential to be the best in the series. Although Tank can be read as a stand alone, I would strongly suggest starting of with book 1, Renegade.

Just got done reading this book loved this book just like the first one can't wait for the next book to come out

Loved it
I thought Renegade was swoon worthy. Holy cow. The things Tank says and does. *sigh* besides all the alpha swoon worthy goodness, was a good storyline. Blaze is not what you expect. I was shocked to !earn some of the things about her. A must read.

If you thought Renegade was emotional, just wait until you read Tank. This book is an emotional roller coaster that you don't want to get off. Laramie truly outdid herself with this. Renegade left us hanging, wondering just what the hell was going to happen with Tank and Blaze. In Tank, we get more background which adds to the beauty of the story. This is truly a story of love conquering all. It was so good I am even (moderately) okay with the cliffhanger that will lead us into Havoc!

**Carla's Five Star Review
Tank is the second book in the Moonshine Task Force, and it is Trevor aka "Tank" and Blaze's story. We are first introduced to Tank and Blaze in Renegade which is book one in this series. You need to read it before reading this one.
Renegade ended with a huge cliffhanger leaving us wondering what in the heck was going to happen between Tank and Blaze. This book picks up right where Renegade left off, and it is ah-mazing!
Tank and Blaze are two of the most stubborn people around. Their relationship starts off great, but it doesn't take long for ultimatums to be thrown out, and, when this happens, these two butt heads. They both refuse to meet in the middle until a life altering situation occurs. Like most of us in the midst of tragedy, Tank and Blaze realize that their past arguments are small and petty, and they vow to throw the little things out the window and focus on what or who is most important to them. Does this mean their problems disappear? Heck no! Blaze has a secret, and she realizes she has to place her complete trust in Tank in order to reveal something she has never told another soul. Will Tank look at her differently, or will he be the one to finally pull her out of the darkness of her past?
I love this series, and I really love Tank and Blaze! Their relationship revolves around one hundred percent raw passion. These two not only love hard, but they fight hard as well. I love this author's writing style. She certainly knows how to craft a story that will hold your attention from beginning to end. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series which is Havoc and Leighton's story. Hurry up and read both of the books in this series, so you will be ready!!

Tank is an enjoyable read, but I felt it was missing that WOW factor that just sucks a reader in.
I loved the characters and I thought the storyline was interesting enough, but I felt it lacked that angst and drama that can keep a reader on their toes. I thought the pace and flow of the story was well written. I have really come to enjoy Laramie Briscoe’s writing style. This just isn’t my favorite of her books that I have read.
Tank is a standalone novel told in Dual POV, but it is my recommendation that the reader read Renegade first. Yes this book does involve a new couple, but Blaze and Trevor’s story really did begin in Book 1 (Renegade). The start of this book is overlapped from the first book, but I kind of really liked that because it was like a refresher for the reader. Being that I read Renegade awhile ago, it help get me back into these characters lives and what their story was going to be about.
I will say there is one aspect of this story that kept getting touched on (a past scenario between Trevor and Blaze) that I felt like we missed something big from their past. I kept struggling to remember if it was in the first book. I don’t know, I just wish it would’ve come out in a different way or maybe sooner in the story. This book does touch on a serious subject, but I thought it was well written. I loved the direction she took Blaze’s character in when it came to her career and family. (you’ll understand more when Blaze’s secret is revealed)
In Tank we get to know Trevor and Blaze a lot better. We see more of their background and their personal upbringings. This book like I said takes off where we are left at the end of Book 1. This whole story is about Blaze and Trevor finding their way back to each other and having a second chance at love and life. Yes they have their ups and downs but what they learned in the end was what is important!! I loved the overall theme of their story.
I also enjoyed that we got to see Ryan and Whitney some more in this book. There was a time I felt that the focus was on them a little too much, but they do really play a huge part in Blaze and Trevor’s lives. I also loved how she set up the premise for the next book in this series. I think Havoc’s story is going to an interesting one ;)
So if you are in the mood for a second chance love story that doesn’t have a lot of drama but has a healing feeling to it, then this is a book you should read.
