Terror
As Sergeant at Arms of the Manchester chapter of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, my job is clear--protect my brothers and uphold the bylaws of my club. I’ve done that from the moment I patched in, risking my life and freedom for men I consider closer than blood.
I never thought I’d need anything else until she walked back into my life.
Finding Hope on a stage taking her clothes off for strangers enrages me. This isn’t how her life was supposed to turn out. I walked away so she could have everything she deserved. Now, she’s in danger and I’m going to destroy everyone who threatens her.
Hope
Seeing Terror again after all this time has me on edge. He can’t know the truth about how low I’ve sunk since I saw him last. I tried for years to put Terror out of my head, but my love for the boy who made my heart skip a beat never faded. I tried to move on, to marry and have a family and, for a while, things were good. Then the nightmare began.
My ex-husband despises me. He’s done everything in his power to hurt me both mentally and physically, but now he has something that can tear me apart.
My daughter.
Terror might have crashed into my life without an invitation, but now he’s the only one who can save me.

After that ending in the last book, we finally get Terror's story and it's a tough one. Terror aka Kayden sees his stepsister stripping, and this causes a ripple effect in each of their lives. We finally know why she was there and the life she has led since Kayden walked away.
You see Kayden grew up with an abusive father who ends up marrying Hope's mother. Hope's mother literally did not give a fuck about the abuse and let it happen over and over again. Once Kayden was legally able to leave, he does but he and Hope are madly in love, but it could never work as Kayden's path is one he does not want her to be on with him and lets her go.
Hope gives up and finds herself marrying someone else and Kayden believes this marriage is the best thing for her, a stable and loving husband who has no darkness. The next 7 years are a nightmare though for Hope. She is married to a psycho who is physically abusive and rapes her. A few years into their marriage she gets pregnant, and he beats her even during her pregnancy. She has nobody as she been destroyed enough by her ex.
Hope does unspeakable things to make sure she can pay her legal fees as her ex has so many connections, he has taken custody and left her to deal with it all. She works at the strip club, forced to sexually please clients and even her boss. Nothing she is proud of and honestly, she is in such a tough spot in her life, people exploit her desperate attempts and weakness.
Kayden gets to the bottom of her dilemmas and does everything he can to fix his mistakes by never letting her go.
This is why this book got 3.5 stars:
Kayden LEFT HER, despite how much he loved her and how much she loved him and begged. He could have protected her and when he finds out she had a kid, and her stripping he feels like he made a mistake, but he never felt that way before? In the last 7 years? He never felt an ounce of regret over his decision. We know he was not celibate and clearly lived his life happily without her. His own selfish reasons to let her go destroyed her and led her down this path, what different does his life now make than the one from 7 years ago? it's still dangerous. He protected her for years but then just walked away, it didn’t sit right with me. It just bothered me.
I'm glad her troubles were fixed without more than needed issues, but I think Hope has a lot of healing to go through.

I kiss her like she's my everything, because in truth she is.
4.25 stars!
Trigger warning: physical abuse, child abuse, verbal abuse, sexual assault, rape, MC violence and gore
This was my first ever stepbrother romance novel, and I have to say that I loved it more than I thought I would! Terror and Hope's relationship was so genuine and heartbreaking in the way it was borne, but beautiful in it's passion and devotion. Even though Hope has suffered some truly horrendous things, she never loses sight of what she is willing to fight for. Terror is willing to do anything to protect Hope, and I loved his balls-to-the-wall approach he takes in exacting justice on those who have harmed her. As Hope and Terror work to overcome the demons and obstacles of their past, they slowly learn to trust and find love again in each other. I'm stoked for Brewer's book next as it sounds deliciously complicated♡
Tropes: stepbrother romance, dark themes, forbidden love, motorcycle club, alpha j/p hero, beaten but strong heroine, secret pining, second-chance romance

Terror & Hope grew up together when his father got together with her mother, and the two of them fell in love. However, Terror did that boneheaded move of deciding they couldn't be together all of a sudden since she deserved better, breaking her heart into pieces. The only reason I'm not going off about him is his heart really was in the right place. He thinks she's found happiness with the man she finally moved on with, but he didn't have a clue whatsoever. In the present time, he finds her stripping at a club, and Hope isn't even close to the girl he used to know so he's not only baffled but pissed as hell too. Hope has gone through it, and every step is torture to keep moving forward, but there's a reason why she keeps doing whatever she needs to so she doesn't need Terror crashing into her life again. Everything Hope was going through, and as each part of what she had already gone through really had me tearing up while reading because her pain seeped through my kindle. There's no doubt she & Terror are perfect for each other, but will she actually let him in?! This story was heavy on angst, but there was also a lot of heat, a tad bit of humor, and even a twist or two so I LOVED every minute of it! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a well written book with strong characters in Terror and Hope. They are step-siblings, not by blood, and have a deep bond supporting each other in an abusive environment. It's a deeply emotional story with some sensitive subjects along with their never ending love. It's filled with action, mystery, anger and abuse. It's a second chance for both of them. It's a bit of a dark story that captured and held me from start to finish. Great addition to the series and is a must read.

4.5 🌟
I'm grieving the end of this book. To a beautiful book that was over to soon🥂
But seriously that was so good and they couldve dragged it out way longer, like I wouldve loved to see more depth and background into their past but not because they didn't go into enough detail to understand but because I genuinely enjoyed reading this.
Short and sweet I'm excited for the next one in this series. Something about this trope hits different for me.

Kayden & Hope
October 29, 2022
Our heroine, Hope, was a mess. After seven years of staying with her abusive husband, she finally leaves. Why on earth would she start stripping/whoring (don’t worry, only blow jobs and hand jobs🙄) and think she’ll get back custody of her baby? She even let’s her boss at the strip club violate her, just to keep that stellar job. She gives her ex a blow job just to see her kid for an hour. At some point, you have to wonder if this chick has any self respect or a brain. Terror isn’t much better. He pulls the old, “you can do better than me” and leaves her when they’re younger. Fast forward 7 years and he sees her at the strip club- declares she can’t expose herself like that and that she’s his. Umm, what? Where were you the last 7 years of her craptastic life? It made no sense and was depressing.

Sweet, exciting, sexy and paybacks are…well… ya just need to read the book. Keep ‘‘em coming Ms. Ames!.

This author never ceases to amaze me with her stories.
Terror and Hope is a story that has you on the edge of your seat from the first page, all the way through to the end.
Her writing is so compelling you'll wish for the right kind of karma for some of the less desirable characters.... yes, they are really that well written!
So my work unicorn, well done, you've done it again; you are still the DB!.

Terror is the third book in the Untamed Sons’s Manchester Chapter. Although you can read it as a stand alone and it would make sense I would recommend at least you read the Manchester collection of books but better yet all of the Untamed Sons as you do have a crossover of characters and you’d have a greater understanding of this particular MC and their dynamics.
This book focuses on Kayden (Terror) Walsh who is Sergeant At Arms of the Manchester Chapter and Hope Buckley an exotic dancer and single mother. This story does contain some very sensitive topics so please be aware of the trigger warnings.
The story follows Terror and Hope’s journey from mid childhood until they meet again in their late twenties for Hope and thirty for Terror. Therefore the timeline in this book is a bit convoluted as some chapters focus on the past but this does assist the overall storyline/ telling.
It’s a story about a deep love they have for each other but also all of the obstacles they have to face and overcome. Hope and Terror met when their parents got together and while they might be viewed as step siblings this was never a role either of them saw themselves as. Terror experienced a violent and abusive childhood at the hands of his father and Hope’s mother was extremely controlling towards her daughter. All they had was each other, but Kayden saw the path he was heading down and wanted better for Hope. So although he loved her he had to walk away as he absolutely did not want Hope caught up in his dangerous world. He last saw her on her wedding day thinking he was at least leaving her with a good solid man who could always provide for her and keep her safe.
Hope was heartbroken when Kayden walked away but tried her best to move on with her life. Unfortunately the man she picked well on the surface he may have looked like the ideal husband but the reality was so very different. Mike knew he was second best where Hope was concerned that he could not abide. Much like her mother he was all about control and was happy to use any means necessary to ensure this control never wavered. Ultimately though Hope had to not only try and keep herself safe but her young daughter too. Unfortunately along with control Mike also had connections that made sure their daughter remained with him and Hope’s access to her daughter was extremely limited. Hence her living in a dive and working as an exotic dancer to pay her legal bills. To say Terror finds her at her lowest is an understatement, not only is she being emotional and physically abused but her ex but also by her boss. So to see Kayden show up well you absolutely feel for Hope’s emotional state, she’s doing all she can but she’s not even treading water….she’s drowning. But given Kayden’s past behaviour can she trust him to actually stick around and help her when the only person she can rely on is herself can she put her faith in someone who has made a habit of disappearing.
Kayden is devastated at how things have turned out for Hope, he’s always lived life on the edges of society. Getting involved in quite dangerous situations even if that puts him on the wrong side of the law. He gave her up so she could life a good life with a good man. Well now the truths out…let’s just say Terror got his road name for a reason. He’s out to ensure that Hope and her daughter reunite and all those who have hurt them are dealt with as only he can. While they were kids there was very little Kayden could do except take the beatings and protect Hope as much as he could from her mother. But as Terror with the might of the Untamed Sons behind him, it’s time to go after anyone who poses a threat. I loved the Family the MC is, they are a rough and ready group but they always have your back.
This is a heartbreaking and difficult story to read at times but ultimately it’s about second chances and redemption. Facing your demons and taking a chance on love. All in all another good instalment in the series. Now I can’t wait for the next book.

3.75 stars- TERROR is the third instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult UNTAMED SONS MC: MANCHESTER erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty year old, SAA (Sargent at Arms) Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh, and twenty-eight year old, exotic dancer/single mother Hope Buckley’s story line. TERROR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there will be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Hope and Terror) TERROR focuses on the rekindling romance and relationship between thirty year old, SAA (Sargent at Arms) Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh, and twenty-eight year old, exotic dancer/single mother Hope Buckley. Approximately twelve years earlier Kayden ‘Terror’ Walsh walked out of Hope Buckley’s life having endured a life-time of abuse at the hands of his father. Kayden’s father, and Hope’s mother had married, uniting Hope and Kayden as step brother and sister but the abuse Kayden endured came at the cost of losing the woman he loved. Several years would pass, Hope would marry a man she thought she could love, only to discover she would also become the victim of domestic abuse, abuse that continued throughout her marriage and subsequent pregnancy. Working as an exotic dancer to pay her legal bills, Hope has lost custody of her daughter, and is about to lose her job when Kayden now known as Terror comes back into her life. What ensues is the rebuilding relationships between Kayden and Hope, as Kayden and the Untamed Sons MC put a plan into place to ensure Hope is protected, and she regains the custody of her three year old daughter.
Hope Buckley has struggled in the years since Kayden left. Kayden knew Hope was too good for the lifestyle he was about to lead but leaving Hope behind broke both of their hearts, leaving Hope to the vultures including Kayden’s father, and the man with whom Hope would eventually marry. Used and abused, Hope battled between head and heart knowing she may never see her daughter again but with the return of the man that she loved Hope continued to struggle with what was and what may never be.
The relationship between Hope and Kayden is one of second chances; a rebuilding relationship between two people destroyed by power and control, abuse and neglect. Kayden has never stopped loving our story line heroine but as Terror, Kayden now has the power to destroy the demons that continue to beat at the woman he loves. The $ex scenes between Terror and Hope are intimate, erotic and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Hope’s mother Marie, Kayden’s father Tim Walsh; Hope’s boss Zack Carmichael, her ex husband Mike, as well as MC members, Trick, Howler, Blackjack, Brewer, and solicitor Gerald. Brewer’s story line is next.
TERROR is a story of power, control, abuse and vendetta. The premise is gritty, dark and emotional; the characters are broken, determined and struggling to move forward; the romance is passionate and provocative.

(SPOILERS AHEAD)
Triggers: Talk of past rape and abuse; Nonconsensual/coerced sexual acts; Graphic Torture (mainly of the bad guys); Emotional Trauma; Murder
I wanted to start this review off with these trigger warnings because this seems to be a consistent theme throughout this series; but this book specifically shows some of these more so that the previous book.
Now, I am a definite mood reader, as well as someone who reads to escape the monotony and negatives of real life. So, I usually need to be in the mood and very aware of what I’m getting into when I read books that show things like the aforementioned triggers.
That said, I really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I actually read the first four books in a bundle, and I’ll write separate reviews. I had high hopes for this book, and it definitely had potential with some serious tropes (i.e. step-siblings and second chances). But, for me, it kind of fell flat. I still enjoyed it enough to read it (though I did scan some) and I liked how it ended. I even enjoyed getting to see a relationship that wasn’t new like the first two books. But, the book beginning with the FMC going through the mental and physical abuse ON TOP OF the emotional aspect of their relationship was a definite rollercoaster compared the previous books. As I mentioned earlier, it could have just been the fact I wasn’t in this kind of mood. I definitely recommend it still. But it just wasn’t my favorite.
Now, this book has, perhaps, the most graphic torture scene yet. If you’ve read the others, it probably makes sense since he’s kind of the resident torturer. But it kind of shocked me. Especially considering how relatively quick the book ended afterwards. It didn’t feel like there was much of a breather to come down and resolution. Though I did like how well Terror took to becoming a father figure to someone who wasn’t his daughter.
The good view into the other characters and relationships continued in this book, though it also seemed to focus a bit more on highlighting the person next-in-line as opposed to everyone like the first book did. I found myself struggling to continue to the fourth book in my bundle after this, though.
I did appreciate how this book was unique to the others but I found myself not able to get sucked into it. These types of books requires some level of belief suspension to read, but I found this book being a bit too unrealistic to me in some areas and a bit too realistic to me in others.
3.5 ⭐️
I loved the potential but it was definitely not my favorite book of the series.

I did appreciate how this book was unique to the others but I found myself not able to get sucked into it. These types of books requires some level of belief suspension to read, but I found this book being a bit too unrealistic to me in some areas and a bit too realistic to me in others.
3.5 ⭐️
I loved the potential but it was definitely not my favorite book of the series.

Terror
As Sergeant of Arms of the Manchester chapter of the untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, my job is clear-to protect my brothers and uphold the bylaws of my club. I've don that from the moment I patched in, rising my life and freedom for men I consider closer than blood. I never thought I'd need anything else until she walked back into my life Finding Hope on a stage taking her clothes off for strangers enrages me. This isn't how her life was supposed to turn out. I walked away so she could have everything she deserved. Now she's in danger and I'm going to destroy everyone who threatens her.
HOPE
Seeing Terror again after all this time has me on edge. He can't know the truth about how low I've sunk since I saw him last. I tried for years to put Terror out of my head, but my love for the boy who made my heart skip a beat never faded. I tried to move on, to marry and have a family and, for a while, things were good. The nightmare began. My ex-husband despises me. He's done everything in his power to hurt me both mentally and physically, but now he has something that can tear me apart. My daughter. Terror might have crashed into my life without an invitation, but now he's the only one who can save me.
Terror and Hope have known each other forever because his father and her mother were a couple. These two fell in love and things were perfect until he decided he wasn't good enough for her and he moved on breaking her heart. When she moves on and gets married she is convinced that she has found her happily ever after. Time moves forward and he finds his Hope stripping in a club and she isn't the girl he knew at all from way back when. Hope though is struggling big time and has a reason to keep going and nothing is going to stop her. Not even Terror. She doesn't want him crashing back in to her life again. But Terror isn't having it. and he is going to do anything and everything to keep her save and whole.
This story is super emotional and will have your heart just absolutely breaking. I loved reading it so much and it is a really beautifully written story.

Not gonna lie, most of Jessica Ames’ books are riddled with difficult triggers. But this author is not afraid of challenging topics. Despite the triggers, I enjoyed this book. There was redemption here, despite some choices that the law would view as wrong. The hero, Terror started off as a good guy when he was a kid, and ended up as a good guy when a grown man, despite being morally grey. He doesn’t stand for abuse and helps save Hope from abusive situations with both her boss and her ex. He has always loved Hope better than himself. He has found a brotherhood and sense of family that he needed. Hope is complicated; she is strong enough to do anything at all so she can see her daughter, even things that are morally questionable, but she has a hard time with self worth. She is a great mom and she eventually becomes able to stand up for herself. She and Terror enrich each other’s lives.

Tropes: mc romance, stepbrother romance, dark romance, second chance, dark romance
This story is filled with heartbreak and trauma. Terror is the Sergeant at Arms of the Untamed Sons MC. He definitely lives up to his name because he is not someone you want to cross because you probably won’t live to talk about it. The only thing he cares about besides the club is Hope, his step-sister. They fell in love years ago but he thought he did the right thing by walking away from her so she could have a better life. Fast forward years later and he finds her working at a strip club his club is involved with. He learns that the happy life he thought she had was actually the total opposite.
You could feel the connection between Terror and Hope from the start. We get to see first person the abuse that Terror dealt with growing up with his abusive father. When he finds out the abuse she has been dealing with at the hands of her husband and boss he does not hesitate to fix the problem. I was a little surprised how fast he fixed her problem because I thought that storyline was going to drag out much longer in the book.
I love books that are filled with angst and drama and this book did not disappoint. While the triggers is this book are not for everyone, the love between Terror and Hope really keeps the reader going. You will not want to put this book down until you see that they finally get the happy ending they deserve.
Thank you for the ARC!

Review
Jessica Ames is a new to me author and I am so glad I chose to read this book. I’m of course a sucker for a dramatic, dark and dangerous MC books full of possessive and protective alpha males who will stop at nothing to get, keep and protect their woman. And this book was definitely that. This is book 3 in her Untamed Sons MC Manchester Chapter series but is a standalone. I am looking forward to going back and reading the first two books soon.
This is Terror and Hopes story and it’s an intense and heartbreaking story. They fell in love when they were younger but he walked away from her and left her when he was forced out of their home. Years later he finds her on stage in a club. It’s then he vows to take care of her and really keep her safe. Hope is doing what she has to do to get the one thing that matters most to her, her daughter. She doesn’t expect to come face to face with Terror but he just might be the one person to help her. Their story is an absolute must read.
There is so much going on for these two in this story it will keep you on edge. You get to see into their pasts and it gives you an inside view of what made them the way they are today and the struggles they’ve had to endure to become the strong individuals. I really loved getting to read how their relationship grew together and how the MC came to accept and help them when needed. This will definitely have you getting emotional at times so keep some tissues on hand. I really do recommend this book and the rest of series too. Am looking forward to the next books.

Debated 3 or 4 stars
This was my first book by this author, and it was decent. I gave four stars because, honestly, there wasn't anything wrong with the book to give less. I do have a few things that annoyed me. I didn't feel any connection between hope and kayden. I know the author tried to go between past and present to ensure we felt it, but unfortunately for me, I did not. I know the author is from England, so the way they talked and some of the lingo was a little new to me, but that's okay. Hope was a survivor and tried her best for her situation. Kayden was decent enough and your standard protective alpha l. Neither character stood out to me or had anything about themselves that I loved. I also find it hard to believe they lived in the same area and never once saw each other except the one time at the strip club. Some of the inner monologue and even direct conversations felt a little repetitive. I wish we were also told what about to the parents. They were talked about frequently but never dwelled on it. I also found it odd, and I was somewhat dissatisfied with how it ended. No epilogue just three months later from hopes pov then bam... a pov from one of the other club members. I understand trying to set up for the next book, but I felt it seemed rushed and out of place. Overall, it's a decent enough book. I was looking for a new mc series to start, but I don't think I'll continue with this one. Again, nothing wrong with it. It just wasn't for me personally.

Terror
As Sergeant at Arms of the Manchester chapter of the Untamed Sons Motorcycle Club, my job is clear--protect my brothers and uphold the bylaws of my club. I’ve done that from the moment I patched in, risking my life and freedom for men I consider closer than blood. I never thought I’d need anything else until she walked back into my life. Finding Hope on a stage taking her clothes off for strangers enrages me. This isn’t how her life was supposed to turn out. I walked away so she could have everything she deserved. Now, she’s in danger and I’m going to destroy everyone who threatens her.
Hope
Seeing Terror again after all this time has me on edge. He can’t know the truth about how low I’ve sunk since I saw him last. I tried for years to put Terror out of my head, but my love for the boy who made my heart skip a beat never faded. I tried to move on, to marry and have a family and, for a while, things were good. Then the nightmare began.
My ex-husband despises me. He’s done everything in his power to hurt me both mentally and physically, but now he has something that can tear me apart. My daughter. Terror might have crashed into my life without an invitation, but now he’s the only one who can save me.
Oh my gosh Terror was another fabulous book in the Untamed Sons series by an amazing author that is Jessica Ames. It baffles me at times how she comes up with all these fabulous story lines for the different books she publishes and this book was just as fabulous.

Kayden (Terror) and Hope met under circumstances that should be happy, but in their case, not so much. His dad and her mom moved in together. What sounds like a joyous moment was more like a nightmare. Kayden's dad liked control, and he would get it by beating him. Hope had to witness this, all while her mom just sit there and watched. Kayden and Hope grew close, as they clinged together for support. Their relationship was not that of step siblings. It was so much more. In order to get out of this situation and keep Hope safe, he had to leave her behind. He drifted into the criminal world, and she fell for a man who helped her pick up the pieces when Kayden left. Kayden stayed away once he confirmed with her on her wedding day that she was going to be ok. Of course, looks can be deceiving and her life took another path. That is where you find her in the beginning of the book. There are flashbacks throughout the book explaining how decisions made when they were younger affected what happened in the present. The story brings them back together, but not without the reality of lost trust and determination to get it back. I am liking this MC. Wished we got to see the other members a bit more, but the book made the right decision to focus mainly on these two. You got the whole picture, and not just a glimpse. Great book!.

I love the Untamed Sons MC Series (both Chapters). Like a lot of MC books, these are “outlaw” bikers who are truly good men. They have a brotherhood that stands behind each other and their extended families. But throw in Ms. Ames spin on things and you have very exciting, action pack storylines that make thrilling reads. Nothing is more true than with Terror’s story. He is the SAA of the Manchester chapter and he’s truly earned his road name. He was raised by a violent father whom he couldn’t wait to leave behind, which is exactly what he did. His only regret was leaving Hope, his “step-sister”, behind. While they had a wild attraction to one another from the day they met, Terror knew he had to let her go, in his mind she deserved better than the likes of him. Sadly her life didn’t turn out that way. Fast forward a few years. Terror has found the family he always wanted with the Untamed Sons. But what happens when he finds Hope, the love of his life, dancing in a shady strip bar? His only thoughts: Why? His anger once again rising to the top
Hope is his, she’s always been his. His to love. His to protect. Even if the rest of the world doesn’t know it. Their reunion may not of been under the best of circumstances but Terror wants answers. And nothing, not even Hope, is going to stop him from getting them.
Outstanding read - Grab it up asap you won’t regret it.
2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars

What a second chance at love ride!!!
Hope and Kayden are step siblings who shared a deep bond during their teenage years.
While Kayden loved Hope he left her and broke her heart as he believed he couldn't give her the life she deserved.
Now, years later as the two cross paths again and Kayden discovers Hope is not living the life he wanted for her. Instead, she is struggling and in trouble. Leaving Kayden devastated and drowning in regret towards the woman he has never stopped loving....
Will Kayden become the saviour she needs?
Will Hope be able to trust Kayden with her heart again?
Will they get a second chance at a HEA?
Talk about an emotional pull at your heart strings ride. Their backstory had some sweet moments but was mostly heartbreaking.
Hope's current situation was devastating. I loved her determination and do what he takes to get what she wants attitude. Even if she had to do things no one should have to do.
Terror not only lives up to his name but damn this man is fierce and also swoon-worthy.
The love he has for Hope you could feel and his determination to never let her go again was evident.
He would literally do anything to keep her and maker her happy.
A Great Read! After the little sneak peek I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Terror/Kayden and his Hope
I've been reading all of the Untamed Sons MC books, and so far, I'm obsessed! My favorite so far has been Fury and Amalia's story from the London chapter. But man, this one is right there with it! I loved Terror's story the moment I started reading the series. My heart went out to young Kayden. The mistreatment that he had to endure at the hands of his father was horrible. We first meet Terror in the beginning of the Manchester chapters books and learn he is the SAA and is very good at what he does. His father marries Marie, Hope's mom, and they all move into the same home. Slowly, they become close, and throughout their horrible childhood, they help one another pull through. Things eventually change, as they get older, they realize they love each other. Time passes, and they drift apart, each of them moving forward with life. Then suddenly, their paths cross once more and Terror realizes that he should've never let her go! So much happens between these two, but after everything that they have to endure, they get their HEA! I definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series as well as the London chapter. I can't wait to see what happens next with Brewer.

You know, sometimes a story hits you deep and this is one of them. You never know how low you have to go to keep someone you love safe, or in your life. Sometimes, the cards life dealt you suck and you have to play them out.
That's what Hope had to do. That poor woman has been through some stuff. When Terror finds his childhood friend and (sort of step-sister) stripping at a seedy club, he aims to get her off and never return. She is desperate to see her daughter and needs money and she is ashamed of how her life has turned out. Bu she cannot let Terror storm back in and take over after he left her all those years ago.
Terror can't believe that Hope is stripping. When he left her, she was happily married and heading for a life of luxury. What happened? If she needs help, she should have/ could have come to him. It doesn't matter, he's going to fix it all up now and never let Hope go again.
I loved this story. After reading the first 3 back to back, this one left me a little shaken. The lengths that Hope to go through and what Terror had to do to "fix" everything, were jarring and graphic to say the least.
This is a good read, but I highly recommend skipping it if you have any triggers or issues with violence.

Hope and Kayden are step siblings who became close in their teenage years under abusive parents. Kayden leaves Hope behind though, thinking he cannot provide her with a good life.
This book was definitely about second chances, with Kayden regretting walking out and later being able to find a path with the MC and Hope being able to start anew after being crushed with heart break and a failed and horrendous marriage. The emotional side of this story was palpable throughout the pages, and you really could experience what the characters felt—sadness, remorse, desperation, guilt, shame, fear, hope, relief, happiness, and love. These two have gone through so much together and apart.
I did like how Hope was trying to do what she could for her child, even though her circumstances were frustrating and difficult. Kayden shows just how much he regrets letting her go and shows just how much she means to him, not asking for anything in return. He also definitely lives up to his namesake, Terror.
Overall, this was a highly engaging read.

Terror is Book 3 of the Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC series. It's a gritty, steamy, step-sibling, second-chance, darker MC romance. Hope is a smart, sassy, and feisty single mom who has been both literally and figuratively beaten down by her evil ex and evil boss. Terror (Kayden) is the sexy, burly, hunky, Sergeant at Arms for the Untamed Sons MC, Manchester chapter. He and Hope became step-siblings when their parents married. They fell in love, but Terror walked away at 18, thinking he wasn't good enough for her. They both already had tough lives and bad parents. Now, he walks into a seedy strip club to find her working. When he realizes what kind of life she has had, he wants to burn down the world. Will she let him back in? Can he keep her and her daughter safe? This book was so good!! Their chemistry was so hot!! There is heartbreaking drama, but we do get a happy ending for our couple. I loved them so much!!! Be sure to read triggers, though, as there are a lot of darker themes, too.

Hope only has one mission in life to get her little girl back, she does not care how low she has to sink to do so. What she does not expect is for her past to hit her in the face when she is on stage at the strip club, Entice. Kayden/Terror causes a scene and gets her off the stage, telling her boss she no longer works there.
Terror is the Sergeant at Arms of the Untamed Sons MC, Manchester, cannot believe what he is seeing. He walked away from her so as not to drag her down and there she is stripping, showing everyone what is his. Seeing her again, he knows there is no way she is walking out his life again.
Hope has been thru so much, what should have been a happy ending began her decent into h@ll. Everyone has let her down, can she trust Kayden not to leave her again?
This may be triggering for some, the things her husband does to her. I looking forward to the next book in the Manchester Chapter Untamed Sons MC.

After the ending in book 2 I couldn’t wait to read Terror & Hope’s story.
Terror’s dad was an absolute monster to him, & it didn’t get better after his dad married her mom. Terror & Hope ended up falling in love. But when he’s 18, he leaves & thinking he’s doing what’s best for her, he breaks her heart completely by ending things. But all he ends up doing is sending her into the arms of a monster. For years she’s abused & forced to do things just to see her daughter. My heart broke for her & all the hurt she was feeling. She had no one. As much as I loved Terror & everything he was doing for her, I was incredibly p|ssed too. He just walked out of her life, & for years, even after joining the Sons, he never bothered to check on her. I didn’t like how he knew what her life was like w/his dad & her mom, & he just cut her out his life. But I did enjoy seeing what he did to Mike! So he earned his brownie points w/me for that!
As always this was an excellent read f/Jessica! Can’t wait to see what’s coming next w/Brewer & Ophelia!

Yet another fab edition to the Untamed Sons Manchester Charter.. this time with the story of Terror.
Terror or Kayden as he ia called outwith his MC name hasnt had the best of upbringings. Dragged around different houses as his dad finds new women isnt the most stable childhood and all that gets better and worse when they move in with Hope and her mum.
Kayden has the undeniable need to protect Hope.. and that doesnt change into adulthood.
Hope is lost and broken when Kayden moves on. Finding a new love also isnt all that she wished for, and when a chance encounter brings them both together again it isnt all sunshine and happiness!
Love the intense chemistry with this pair, the way a big hard man like Terror melts into mush for his woman is just the best!
This story has very hard hitting plots but its all written with respect and understanding. Managed to devour this in one sitting!
Roll on the next book for the series, i can never have enough of those Untamed Sons!
