Mayhem Makers #5

Menace (Hells Guardians MC, #1)

Rate this book
Family isn't about blood. It's about loyalty and trust, and the Hells Guardians MC was the only family Menace McAllister cared about.

Abandoned by his mother at birth, he was raised by his brother until he was eight. The day Hunter McAllister left, Menace was forced to survive with a father who despised him. He became a loner, closing out the world around him.

On his eighteenth birthday, he found his way to Hells Creek, WY, where the MC took him in. Over the years, Menace proved his loyalty as a prospect and then as their Sgt. at arms.

The club became his salvation, his life, but it all came at one expensive cost—loving Clover, the president's niece, from afar.

When a rival club kills all but one member of their Arizona Chapter, life as Menace knew it ceases to exist. Just when he believed he had it all figured out, he learns of a secret his brother has been keeping from the club.

Things couldn't get more complicated. That is until Clover went missing. For the first time ever, his loyalty was being tested—club or brother. It was him against the world once again, but the stakes were much higher this time.

This is a Dark Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in the Hells Guardians MC series. You know going into this book that the characters we follow is not going to be the Angels, and they are going to be doing not so good things. There of course is going to things that could trigger some readers in this book. I really did enjoy getting to know Menace, and his back story. The beginning really let you into how Menace became who he is as an adult. This is a short (just over 100 pages) fast moving book that follows Menace and the Motorcycle club he is a part of. There was a ton of action and suspense with just a little romance put into the ending. I love that Menace finds a book in the woman's house that he likes, and when he starts to read where she left off is a very steamy sexy time scene. I really enjoyed reading this book. I won a Kindle edition of this book from a Goodreads giveaway. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

This story had me from the very first chapter. It was overflowing with suspense, intrigue, secrets and drama. Clover was a character that you can't help but love, she was sassy, independent, strong but also had a vulnerable and soft side to her. Menace was the biker who on the outside was gorgeous, strong and the man every woman wanted, but inside he was still the lonely boy looking to be loved. These two had loved each other from afar for years, but when lives are at stake, hearts need to be put on the line to finally get what you have been craving. A story that holds you on the edge of your seat from start to finish and just won't allow you to put it down.

This book was go go go from the start and I couldn’t put it down!! Great read!

Menace was raised by his older brother who adored him and a step father who hated him! Despite his unorthodox upbringing, Menace became a loyal and devoted member of the Hells Guardians MC. He'd give his life for the MC if he had too, as they are the only family that he's ever really had after his older brother left! Things are going good for him until a rival MC kills one of his MC brothers and kidnaps Clover, his MC's president's niece! Clover is also the only woman he wants, but can't have because of his loyalty to her uncle! Now nothing will stop him to get her back safely and to seek revenge on those who did his MC wrong! Great read!

Menace didn’t have the perfect childhood. So he survived the best was he could. At eighteen he prospect for the club. Now he has a family. He’s starting to fall for clover. The President niece. So when clover is missing and his brother comes back in his life. He has to choose. Loyalty family is blood family. Slow burn love. Clover is perfect for him.

Suspenseful and action packed. Because of this I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen next. This is a fast paced read. I found myself questioning people’s loyalty just like Menace.

Menace and Clover have chemistry and hidden feelings. Their story is a slow burn and isn’t the soul focus of the book. It does heighten the suspense and they do get their HEA.

Menace had a rough childhood and now is part of a motorcycle club that he loves and respects. Clover is use to the motorcycle club life, the members hang out in her bar and her uncle is the president of the local chapter. Clover was a great sassy independent woman who wasn’t afraid to give her opinion. Menace and Clover have been dancing around feelings for each other. When things start to literally explode around them these two have to fight for their lives and the people around them before they can come clean to each other. This was a quick page turner with a lot going on. The characters were extremely strong and had emotional back stories. I really Enjoyed their banter and look forward to reading more books by this author.

I loved Clover, sassy, independent and determined. With a secret love of Menace since the first time he walked into her bar, maybe a damaged soul recognising a kindred spirit. Menace only has his club life and a blood brother who raised him but also left him. The suspense starts from the start with some action and club issues. A threat from a rival. There is a little violence but the bulk of stuff is background and not graphic. It's a steady paced story but interesting and exciting, lots going on and sparks between the characters. Despite the chemistry the build up to a sexual relationship takes most of the book so it's not all sex and nothing else, it actually plays a very small part. I really enjoyed it and my heart went out to both main characters, but I also loved that Hunter as a young boy himself stood up for his new born baby brother and faught for him, it showed what a good guy he was going to grow up into with a strong sense of morals. I look forward to more in this series in the future. Fabulous.

Oh boy, it's been a while since I've read a book from this author and I was eager to start this one.
Just one book was enough for me to be addicted and want more.
And to top it all it's an MC book... Awesome right?
K.L. Myers is the author that I'm talking about and her writing is simply perfect.
Menace is her latest release and it's the first book from the Hells Guardians MC series.
This book explores the lives of Menace and Clover.
Menace hadn't had an easy life. Abandoned by his mother, he was left to be raised by his brother until he was 8 years old. The day his brother also left him, he stayed to be raised by his father, a man that hated him.
On his 18th birthday, he found his true family with the Hells Creek. Now, years later he's their SAA and loves Clover from afar because he won't betray his president.
When tragedy strikes...
Clover is as sassy, independent, and determined as a girl can be. She's used to the MC life and is not afraid to speak her mind.
She's been in love with Menace since the moment he entered her bar but it isn't in the cards for her.
When she's kidnapped...
Jesus, I was left breathless... What the hell...
This book was so freaking awesome and I'm sad because it's over.
Perfect plot, well written, super engaging, and suspenseful.
Jesus, things were happening, left and right, and I was left gasping for air.
The level of danger and suspense is through the roof and will leave you shaking.
The chemistry these two shares is amazing and it's awesome to witness everything between them.
This book left me glued to my kindle until The End appeared.
I loved every single chapter and I can't wait for more books from this MC.
Another fantastic book KL. Loved it. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I send my thanks to K.L. Myers, author and Goodreads First Reads Giveaway for the eBook Kindle copy of Menace ~ Hells Guardians MC ~ Book 1 that I won in the Giveaway.

Who named a baby Menace? Frank McAllister the father of his brother Hunter and a member of an MC. Mencae ~Hells Guardian MC ~ Book 1 starts at his birth when his mother abandoned him and his older brother loved him from the moment he saw the new baby and talked his brother into raising him. It was not an easy life.

Then twenty-four years later Menace ends up in the hospital, has surgery when all of the officers of the Arzonia branch of the Guardians are killed and a war begins with a rival club. A trader is identified, Hunter and Menace have a life altering difference and Clover, the girl Menace loves is captured by th rival gang in the gang war for control of Arizona. The danger is non-stop until the end and you will just have to read this short novella to find out if Clover and Menace find the happy ending they both want...

Menace's childhood wasn't the greatest, but luckily he found the Hells Guardians MC & the family he needed. Clover is our independent heroine with ties to the club, and so she can go toe to toe with anyone. These two are perfect for each other, but they've literally been dancing around each other for a cool minute because of the forbidden factor. Now that's just the romance portion of the program, so let me tell you about the exciting suspense portion. This book came out of the gate with a bang as there are club situations that had the action popping off from the jump with twists coming in hot. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time turning pages quickly as I needed to know since this amazing author hijacked all of my attention. I never wanted Menace to end, especially since I LOVED LOVED LOVED our hero & heroine so I was cheering them on as the push & pull was crazy. Menace is one of those stories that I'll revisit time & time again so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Menace was abandoned by his mother when he was a baby, leaving him with only his brother as family until he became a member of the Hells Guardians MC, they then become his life. The day he walked into the bar and spotted Clover he began loving her from afar knowing that she would never be his. Clover runs the bar the MC spends a lot of time in, and she has watched Menace over the years wishing things could be different, but she hates the MC life and wants nothing to do with it. Everything changes when Clover is taken, and Menace goes after her. He will take out the rival MC to get her back. This is when things start to change. This is a quick read that will have your heart beating quickly, it is action packed and gives you so much character development in a short story that you feel what the characters are going through. A fantastic MC romance. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

I found myself laughing through this one. Menace and Clover have had a forbidden attraction to each other. She's the Prez's neice and not a member of the club. He's a member of the club. These two are so hot for each other that you can get burned reading the book. I love the interaction. She's a feisty bartender at the bar and he's a moody dude that doesn't want anyone else with her. A crisis throws them together. A crisis throws them together. Will they work through their issues and finally tell each other and her Uncle how they they feel about each other? (Her Uncle already knows). This is funny, entertaining, full of MC drama and is a tad steamy in a couple parts but it's fabulous. He's an awesome dude that takes her to a romance book convention. I want a guy like that (minus the gunshots, etc.).

loved menace and clover

Hot alpha bikers? YES PLEASE!

Action-packed, suspenseful, and spicy, Menace had me glued to my Kindle from start to finish. KL Myers absolutely nailed it with this book.

Menace was a tough biker but really, he had a gentle heart due to his heartbreaking upbringing. He was also VERY swoony, especially when it came to Clover, which brings me to my next point.

Clover was a badass female lead. She was strong and had a “take no crap from anyone” attitude which I loved. I mean, she kind of had to be tough seeing as she was surrounded by bikers and drama.

Menace and Clover’s story was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait for Hunter’s book next. KL Myers definitely nailed itttttt.

Weakish story line

I’ve been reading this series in sequence, but this one didn’t compare in content with the previous books. You could sum up the whole book in one paragraph; the story line was that weak. Hardly any 🌶️🌶️🌶️ for the main characters up until the last chapter and even then it was only a few sentences. I read these types of books for the red hot romance that knocks your socks off (even though those types of men don’t exist lol). Maybe the author was having an off day :-(

All the elements were there.....

All thr elements were there. Family drama, bad boy bikers, crazy MC feuds and sassy love interest yet I didn't feel connected to the characters. I think I need to feel more emotionally invested into the characters and to do that I needed more character development. Don't get me wrong the book was entertaining but I would have rated it higher if I was more invested.

What a great introduction to a new series!

I don't typically read this trope, but I was drawn in by the blurb and man, am I glad I jumped in with both feet!

I couldn't put this down, and read it is one sitting.

Enjoyed Menace and Clover tremendously! Gotta love those names!!!

Slow burn, fast-paced story!

Myers hit a home run for this reader!

What's love

To Menace love was nothing but a word until he found Clover. Could they really fall for each other.
I am torn between a rating of a 4 or a 5 because I was expecting the story to be more intimate with the characters. But am giving it a five star review because this is a new to me author and because of the detail in the book.

Wow!

This was a great read. .I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Menace and Clover. Talk about to strong willed people. Both have been pining for each other for years but never one made a move until Clover was taken. That put things into prospective. So!stones it takes almost losing someone to make you move.

First time reading this author, but it won't be the last.
Oh my, Menace....hot,hot,hot. Clover is a badass, yay. I really enjoyed the action and suspense. I liked that the story wasn't just about Menace and Clover, but the motorcycle club also. Can't wait to read Hunter's book.
I won this book on goodreads-giveaways. Thank you.

Menace was a good book about the MC and the struggles against a rival MC. Menace had surgery and was healing when officers in the Arizona chapter were murdered. He goes back to Wyoming to try to figure out what happened. Come to find out the man who was his dad on paper was behind it and his brother had to take care of it. Such a good book and I will be reading Hunter.

Such an amazing book

Menace was part of the MC, met & fell immediately for Clover who just happened to be the niece of the President of his club. He knew she was hands off, but his feelings were so deep. Their story is amazing. This book drew me in & I couldn't put it down. This book got your attention from the start & kept you on the edge of your seat. Loved it!!!

Another good MMM event book

This is the story of Menace and Clover. They have hidden feelings for each other that began five years earlier when they met. Events take place that drives them into closer proximity. I enjoyed this book and I think you will too.

score is for sexual content

This was a great book! I only had put it down so I could have a meal. The score is for the sexual content, as in, it was alluded to but no action written 😞

I enjoyed this quick suspenseful read. I loved Clover's sassy, take no crap from anyone attitude. I also loved that even though Menace is the bad boy, you can't help but to root for him. This was my first K. L. Myers book but it won't be the last.
