Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett
5 of 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Manda Mellett’s ‘Satan’s Devils’ romantic suspense MC novels and so was looking forward to this second book in he ‘Satan’s Devils MC San Diego’ series. In ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ we are back with the MC members of the Satan’s Devils SAN Diego chapter. This book does include some dark themes which may contain triggers but these are part of the overall storyline and as usual Mellett writes with honesty and sensitivity. The story centres around sergeant-at-arms Grumbler, who has been part of the Satan’s Devils for ever and who is fairly happy with his settled life believing himself too old to change his ways. However, he’s never had an ‘old lady’ , or kids but doesn’t feel like he’s missing out. Things change for Grumbler and become complicated when Mary enters his life at a photo shoot featuring Grumbler’s baby (his motorcycle). Mary is a busy and frazzled single mum to seventeen year old Alicia who is always trying to push boundaries and challenge her mum. Mary is horrified when she discovers Alicia is going to model for a perfect stranger without a chaperone and despite the arguments Mary goes to the photo shoot with her daughter. Mary was right that the situation and the photographer were not above board but she’s surprised when it’s the gruff owner of the motorcycle used in the shoot, biker Grumbler who helps her and Alicia when they need backup.
I was hooked from start to finish by ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ and I liked the fact that the main characters, Grumbler and Mary were an older couple getting a second chance at love later in life. The storyline is fast paced and the plot is full of drama, suspense and romance which kept me reading late into the night. The characters as usual are well defined and both Grumbler, Mary and Alicia are all very realistic and relatable making me feel invested in the outcome for them all in the story. The story took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it and although it does include some difficult scenes and tackles some sensitive issues these add depth to the overall story. I found ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ to be an enjoyable, emotional and engaging read. I look forward to future Satan’s Devils novels.
