BLURB:
Being vulnerable makes you a target. Pax knows this all too well. He doesn’t want to need a hero, but the green-eyed biker that keeps rescuing him anyway has him sliding into dangerous territory—namely, Mace’s bed.
Mace is the Sergeant-at-Arms of the St. Louis Iron Heretics MC—treading through volatile situations is all in a days work. At the end of the day, he knows better than to let his heart rule out over his head, but Pax is an anomaly he can’t shake loose.
When a threat returns, taking aim at Pax and disrupting the balance they’ve reached, Mace has to recalibrate his sights, bringing what he truly wants into focus. Unfortunately for them, danger doesn’t always stay dead.
Disrupt is the first book in the Iron Heretics MC series. It can be read as a stand-alone and features no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a HEA.
REVIEW:
Possible triggers: torture, beatings, abuse, kidnapping, and such.
I love this club. Now there is a certain order to these, and I don’t remember the exact order, but look up Iron Heretics MC Universe and it should show all four of the books. One is a Valentine’s Inc book and I forget the other one. Anyway, they all deal with the Heretic club and get the ball rolling on it so you can start meeting all the characters. And now we are officially in the midst of it all. These are not easy stories. Being in a biker club usually isn’t. And those involved as well. There are things that happen that come with being a part of it and sometimes it gets really bad. Hence, the warnings. But what I love about these stories, is even though there are some mega tragedies, the theme is strength and love and support. That is the good thing about being with a good MC club. Everyone has each other’s backs no matter what. Even the newbies. It’s all about family, in their way, and it’s an important thing.
Pax was found one afternoon, after a bad thing with the club, by Mace at his home, bleeding and in pain. Mace knew there was trouble but he had no idea how bad it was until he went to help patch Pax up and he made a vow that Pax would never be hurt again. It started sort of an on/off again thing with them, just as friends. Because of what happened to Pax and Mace’s own past, neither were in a hurry to jump into relationships, at least until it came to each other. Little by little, they started talking more, but it wasn’t until one night, Pax finally felt somewhat comfortable enough to just sleep beside Mace. And it started a whole new thing with them. Mace had finally fulfilled his vow and things seemed to be going better, until Pax saw a ghost from his past. Mace knowing it couldn’t be the same person, began to fear what this meant. And when Leith was taken, and then Pax, they knew they had to get to the bottom quick. But would they get to them both in time or not? And would Pax relapse even more?
I hate that people abuse power. I felt for Pax so much. The things he had to endure and the torture he had to go through because people are either nuts or power hungry, just makes me so upset. But what I love about Mace, is even being wounded himself, he was going to protect Pax, even if all they ever were was friends. He was family and you don’t mess with family. But I hate that they also, both, had to go through what they did with their pasts. Sometimes our pasts make us better in a sense, because we vow not to be like the ones we were around. But sometimes it can work against us as well, because it causes us to close off to others we should have close. But thankfully, these two recognized in each other the chemistry they had. Even as friends. They were there for each other in ways no one else ever was. They shared things that not many or no one else knew. Because they knew they could depend on the other. I love these two. I hate what they had to go through, but I love that they haven’t totally given up. Pax has been close, but with his friends and family behind him, he’s pulled himself together and moved forward. It may be baby steps, but he keeps trying. And Mace keeps holding him up.
Like I said, it’s not an easy story. But it’s a good one. I love these guys and how they are family. And they protect what is theirs. They walk into the face of danger many times over to protect the family, even if it means they die in the process. They will fight for what’s right and true and heaven help anyone who steps in their way. I can’t wait to see who’s next.
