My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett is book two of the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series. I couldn’t put this book down. I had to know how it was going to play out!

Stormy is who he is unapologetically. There are times that it’s easy not to like him. This book definitely gives him his redemption. It’s not easy. He’s got to fight for it. He almost doesn’t make it but he fights. There is more to this lost soul than one would expect though and his story gives you a chance go dig deeper into his character and watch him grow. I don’t want to give anything away but if you like MCs and the Satan’s Devils, you’ll enjoy Stormy’s story.

This book was very well written. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is so much going on and you can’t wait to get to the bottom of it but you don’t want it to end either.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As I have mentioned in previous reviews for Manda Mellett’s books, I have loved the entire Satan’s Devils series. That being said, I was not a big fan of Stormy going into this book because he just walked out on the MC in a previous book. So…it was going to take some work to get me back on his side…but Manda Mellett did that and more!

Stormy turned his back on his MC…and when he shows back up on their doorstep, there are unanswered questions about where he has been and whether they should allow him inside or not. This story takes us back in time to find out Stormy’s history and how he has ended up in his current predicament. As I learned more about his past, I found that he has overcome a lot and I found myself rooting for him and his success as the book went on. Add Cat into the mix and I was definitely hooked. They are definitely made for each other.

This is another great addition to the Satan’s Devils world and, once again, I am in love with the words that Manda Mellett has put on every page. I have read every one of the books in the series and will continue to do so!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder is the 2nd book in the Utah series of the Satan’s Devils MC. Stormy is first introduced in previous series but most notably in the first Utah chapter book, Road Tripped. Stormy is an ex-SEAL with an attitude. Having left his club in bad standing he has a lot to prove in order to show himself worthy of his cut. As part of this, he finds himself meeting Cat, an unwilling victim of an old foe of the club. Stormy finds himself and determined to have a fresh start with his club and his woman when an old face comes back into the picture. This book is riveting from start to finish, I love Stormy and the progression his character makes from the first book. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Road Tripped is the first book in the Utah Chapter of the Satan’s Devils MC series. The book follows Road (who is introduced in the Tucson chapter’s books) as he tries to find himself after being in a horrific crash that ruins his dreams of being a professional racer. Tasked with finding out more about the elusive Utah chapter he finds that all isn’t what it seems. While there, Road is partnered up with Swift a “brother” with exceptional qualifications but a major difference. When Swift’s life is endangered Road is determined to find them and ensure that the perpetrators are found. Road Tripped introduces a range of new characters to the Satan’s Devils MC and is a brilliant start to a new series.

5 ++++++ Stars

This author has done it again, and even more so for me. I absolutely do not like a flashback story and when this gave me the first one all I could think of was there is finally a book in all of this authors series I’m not going to be fond of. Well, that lasted about a minute and I realized I needed all those flashbacks to get past how I felt about Stormy in the first Utah book and getting his background was crucial for my understanding. My emotions were a complete mess through this whole book!!

Swift playing the part she did in this book was brilliant, and my favorite all time in this whole combination of series, Drummer was as Drummer always is, amazing!

I knew there had to be more to Stormy, I just wasn’t sure there was a way to get past my dislike of him, well I did…and it all started with a huge bang. I’m not giving away any of this storyline, I will say the first Utah chapter book really needs to be read before this one, I actually think every book in every series that involves the Satan’s Devils needs to be read to get the whole impact of each of these stories.

I loved this book, I love this author and I love that no matter how many books she writes involving these people I just can’t get enough and as always can’t wait for the next!!

Not enough stars to rate this author properly!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett a thrilling five-star read. This is number two in the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series and it could be read as stand-alone, but honestly its better if you read the Utah series in order as you would miss the build up to Stormy’s story. I feel like I have done an about turn on this main character, as I really wasn’t keen on him previously, but as we have gotten to know the man behind the cut, we understand the real him, I am so taken by him in ways I never imagined. This story has so much going on it could get confused but Manda Mellett has done a great job of keeping the story unfolding and on track.

So I think after I’m not sure how many books I may have found my favourite one from this author! I was absolutely hooked from beginning to end – Stormy was such a brilliant character to read about – I almost felt like I was hanging off of his every word. I hated him, then I loved him and then I hated him again – I definitely went backwards and forward with my feelings towards him but I just found his character so riveting to read about. I loved how complex he was and I loved that I really felt like I had to get to know him – I think the author did an amazing job with him as a character. This is book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series and it did not disappoint! A fantastic 5 star read!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett is part of the Satan’s Devils MC Utah Chapter. If this whole series isn’t something you are familiar with then I would highly recommend you rectify that immediately. This is easily one of the best series I have ever read and this book has firmly placed itself within the top, if not at the top.
I always wonder how the author is going to top what she has already done – since it has been so outstanding up to this point – and yet with this book she has proved just how good she really is. I was absolutely riveted by Stormy and his character. He is one of those characters that has so much more to him than you would initially think. He is a character that you will be familiar with if you have read the rest in the series and he is a character that you really don’t think you will like at all. However the author has done an incredible job of not only making him likeable but making it so you completely fall in love with him.
As with the rest of the books this one is so well written – it is fast paced and action packed but is also full of all the little details that make it so good. I cannot wait to see what else this author has in store for us and in the meantime I might just have to go back and read all the previous books again!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a big fan of Manda Mellett’s ‘Satan’s Devils MC’ series and I always look forward to the next book coming out and I was not disappointed by ‘Stormy’s Thunder’. We are back with the Satan’s Devils MC, Utah Chapter and this story focuses on Stormy. In the first book in the series ‘Road Tripped’ Stormy had walked away from his Club and his brothers and this storyline continues with him being haunted by his past mistakes. Stormy jumps at the chance to become a new man when he gets the opportunity but before long his past catches up with him and his life is in danger. He has to stay alive as he needs to protect the woman he loves in order to save her life too. As usual this is a fast paced story with a plot full of action, drama and great characters but there is also a romance element with Stormy meeting Cat. I loved Stormy and Cat and how their relationship developed throughout the novel. I also enjoyed both catching up with, and meeting new members of the MC. As usual Mellett’s writing style had me hooked from page one and the story being told by different point of views, Stormy, Cat and Swift’s works really well. The characters and the setting really come alive through the descriptive narrative making me feel both engaged and immersed in the story. This was an enjoyable and exciting read and I will now be waiting impatiently for the next book in the series.

Wow the Utah chapter surprises me time and time again. I just never really know what is going to happen in the story when they are involved. While stating that I really enjoyed the story. It’s not a favorite but there are many areas in here that I loved and others I just tolerated. Besides that this is greatly written and I loved seeing more with Swift and the guys from the mother chapter.

Stormy has always been a character you either hated or loved. He is argumentative, bossy and doesn’t care for anyone…brothers included. He makes changes in here and becomes a nicer guy who isn’t out For only himself. I never saw him or expected him to find someone he could care about. I think that surprised me the most.

Overall this is a good story. Not my fav but still strong and worthy. These Utah boys are always a surprise.

This author is one of my top ten authors and I am never let down when I read one of her books. I find that the characters really just come off of the pages and I feel as though I am right in the midst of the
drama. I just could not put this book down.

I find that the characters really interact well and the back stories are always full of conflict and that
that helps to make them more realistic. I like how the author is able to tie all the different series together and just really enhances the storylines. I really look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Stormy’s Thunder is the second book in Satan’s Devils MC Utah Chapter Series by Manda Mellett. I have eagerly followed the Satan’s Devils since the very beginning, all through the original series and on to the newer spin-off chapters. And as always, I know I can rely on Ms. Mellett to deliver a story that not only captures my attention, but will also bring some unexpected developments, which inevitably make me sit up and really take notice.
To be honest though, I really didn’t like Storm going into this book- having met him previously. But as the story progressed and we were taken back in time, I was given a different perspective of the man- and Stormy and Ms. Mellett not only won me over, but had me rooting for him (and Cat) right till the end.
As always, if you love a really beautifully written and riveting MC story- with complex, quirky and endearing characters, steam and sizzling, emotion, action, suspense, and dramatic developments- then you definitely won’t want to miss this. Be warned though, as you may discover that one of Ms. Mellett’s books may prove addictive, and one will never be enough!

Thank you, Manda Mellett!

~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~
Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett
Genre – Romantic suspense, contemporary romance, MC romance
Page Count – 380 pages
I’m a man haunted by my mistakes of the past. I’d achieved my dream, lost it, then found my place with the Satan’s Devils MC. Of course, being me, I blew that as well. Worse, I walked out on my brothers.
Is this who I want to be? Of course it’s not, who sets out to be a failure?
When I get an opportunity to become a new man, I grab it with both hands, but before I can make the most of the chance, history catches up with me. I become snared in a web from which I can’t escape and at its centre is a spider intent on killing me.
It’s too late for redemption, unless I beat the odds and stay alive. But damn it, it’s hard. How can one body take so much punishment and not die? It wouldn’t be possible unless a man is driven to protect the woman he loves.
Because if I don’t survive, neither will she.

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?

There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.

Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

This is Grumblers and Mary’s story. And it was interesting because its an older couple and that isnt something you see often. These two are matched perfectly. Its a slow pace but works perfectly because its a bit more in depth. This is quickly becoming a fantastically favorite series of mine!!! Bravo Manda!!!!

Grumblers Ride is book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, by Manda Mellet.

The story starts with Grumbler….who certainly earns his name at first. He’s an older member of the club and you get the impression he’s seen almost everything. His bike is his pride and joy, so when he agrees to it ‘modelling’ in a photo, he gets annoyed very quickly when his fee isn’t paid.
Mary is having the same problem, except it’s her daughter who’s waiting for her modelling fee. She didn’t want her seventeen year old daughter involved in this anyway, but there’s no going back now, and she deserves to be paid rather than conned.
Grumbler and his MC brothers soon come up with a plan, and when grumbler spends more time with Mary and Alicia, we begin to see the softer side to him….there’s more to him than his name lets on.
I loved the relationship between Grumbler and Mary, she softens his grumpiness and he brings her out of her shell and shows her there’s more to life that she’s been missing out on. I would recommend this story, and can’t wait to read more books in the series now.

I simply adore this author and with this book she’s done it again! Grumblers Ride is Book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. This time we take a look in to Grumbler’s life. Being one of the older members of the MC, he has never had anyone special to call his own and not to mention that he never wanted to either. He also never had or desired having kids. His Harley Davidson is the love of his life, that is until he meets a young girl and her mother. Mary is raising her 17 year old daughter Alicia on her own since her husband passed. When these two meet they form a friendship. When things start taking a turn for the worse they get closer until one day it just clicks for Grumbler. Now that the situation that they found themselves in, Grumbler decides he wants Mary as his own. This story was so great because it reached to those who are older. It isn’t about a young guy and girl trying to find someone. I was able to connect to the book in that way. However, I do have to mention that in Manda Mellett style, this book was so incredibly good. I love all of her MC series and continue to want to read more and more of her books. I recommend this book to anyone who loves MC books!

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett is a great love story. People caught up in situations they never expected to be in with people they never expected to be with. I love how Manda Mellet’s stories deal with the evil underbelly of our society and the justice it so richly deserves. There are adult situations in this story that some may find uncomfortable and there is violence. But generally, it’s a sweet love story.

Grumbler’s Ride is the second novel in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. It follows Grumbler, Lost’s sargent-in-arms.

Grumbler is one of the oldest members of the club and was in the club when everything went down with Snake. He has never had a family, or kids, or anything but the club and his bike.

Mary is a single mom of a teenage daughter. She is struggling like most parents do with how to balance her child almost being an adult, but not quite being there yet.

I really enjoyed the second installment of this series and truly cannot wait to delve more into this series and this author’s other series!

This book didn’t disappoint! I loved the first book in the series and this one is even better. There are some dark parts (could be a trigger for some) but the relationship between the older couple Grumbler and Mary make it so worth it. The way that Grumbler steps in to help Mary and her teenage daughter is heartwarming. The fact that members of other chapters assist each other is nice to see. I really like the San Diego chapter and I’m looking forward to reading the other series Ms. Mellett has written to learn about those chapters.

This is the first book I have read by Manda Mellett. I think it might even be the first book I’m reading about a biker chapter. I’ve enjoyed learning about how the San Diego chapter functions, all the different businesses they run, and what their beliefs are. The chapter prez “Lost” is an older member who even after having this position for several years, he still feels unworthy. The chapter is notified by a chapter in Colorado to keep an eye on some family members under whiteness protection. When Lost meets Patsy, he immediately feels a connection and it seems Patsy does too. It’s nice to see these older characters find interest in each other. This is a great beginning to a series and I’m looking forward to learning more about the characters we meet in this book.

Holy cow this book was something else! It’s the first novel I’ve read by Manda Mellet, but defintely will not be the last! The detail and length of the novel reminded me of a lot of Kristen Ashely’s novels which is pretty awesome!

Lost is the MC Prez of the San Diego chapter of the Satan’s Devils. He took over a few years ago after the club seemed like it was going to fall apart from too many bad members. When his club is called upon to watch a mother and her son who are in WitSec. He never could have known something would awaken within him that’s been dormant for decades.

Patsy had to make an impossible choice and now she is trying to accept that decision. When her new life finds trouble after just barely starting, she meets some new people.

Can Patsy and Lost find any common ground? Will their chemistry ignite anyrhing? Or will Patsy need to move on to her next chapter before anything can start? I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for more!!

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. It can be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed that the author seems to be writing more mature characters in the San Diego series. The main male character in this book is almost sixty, so it makes the feel of this book a bit different than if he was in his thirties. I love how the romance develops from the two main characters being friends first.
Be aware that this book may contain parts that will be sensitive for some readers, including a brief description of harm to children and pregnancy risks after forty.

This book is full of suspense, danger, love, laughter, tears, and wonderful characters. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough because I was drawn in from the start and couldn’t put it down. This is Grumblers and Mary’s story, they are older and and I loved they have a different maturity level then young characters. This book is a must read, you will love every word.

Every single book, within all of these MC chapters of this series, are so well written and each brings their own threats, drama, tears, laughs and just all around emotion. I don’t know how she does it but each and every story is unique, engaging and all around entertaining.
We are in San Diego and we get to know Grumbler in this book. This is all about the right place at the right time to put him in the path of what was yet to come. As with all the bikers, hes a certified bachelor and his ol’ lady is his motorcycle.
Mary is a no nonsense mom to an almost adult teenage daughter who is just trying to do her best, with a teen who doesn’t want to listen to the word no.

This one really got to me with the subject matter in the fact that it does happen in the real world and you just feel helpless to know how to stop it. Was written well to get the points across without needing every small detail to know the maddening truth of the events going on.
I can’t wait to read more from the San Diego Chapter of brothers as we are just getting started and I’m eager to get to know this clubhouse of soon to be added to my favorite bikers series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book for those over 18 only due to it’s graphic nature.

This is another fantastic installment of the Satan’s Devils MC series, this one is again based in San Diego and this one is Grumbler’s story, Grumbler is a man full of tattoos and his bike is his pride and joy, he has customised it completely and is always looking to improve it, but it is known in the club as his old lady!

We begin the story with Grumbler going for another tattoo in the club’s shop, he had a patch of skin to fill and now it is done, he has a skull smoking a cigarette as a tribute to his friend Smoker who has recently passed away and is really happy with the result. He reminisces about Smoker, as he leaves the shop and as he is walking towards his motorcycle, he thinks about how he spends his money on her and the crash he recently had which damaged it and broke his leg in the process and how it is still paining him now. He hears someone shouting as he is preparing to drive off and doesn’t realise it is at him, until he takes his helmet off and sees someone running towards him. It turns out that his bike has caught the eye of a photographer and he wants to take some pictures of it, he introduces himself as Devon Starr and uses flattery to try and get Grumbler to agree to let him do the photos, at first, Grumbler is wary and thinks that it may be too good to be true, but pride takes over when he thinks that it could be used on a motorcycle magazine or book and as he hashes out a deal with Devon, he is told that it would be for the cover of an MC romance novel and that his bike is the focus, not him, but he is thinking about how doing nothing and getting paid for it sounds like a good idea, so he gives Devon his number and that is the end of that.

When we next see Grumbler, it is in church where they are discussing the club businesses and how they are doing financially, as well as other business around the other club chapters around the country, this flows as usual and decisions are made, it leads to Grumbler reminiscing about the club’s past and the troubles they had, as well as troubles with another chapter, as well the members within the chapter they had trouble with. It also leads him to reminisce more about how a fellow member Niran had to help him with his role as Sergeant At Arms, as well as becoming close when he helped him to recover from his injuries, with his experience with living with an injured leg as Niran had lost one of his. He talks to Niran after church has finished and discusses the stock check and that he is trying to get the other members to log when they take anything out, but that they aren’t inclined to do it, to which they have a laugh about it. Grumbler goes to have a drink at the club bar as the club gets louder and the girls start to settle into the evenings activities, he looks around and thinks about how they are all sexy, but too young for him. He is propositioned by one of the girls, but decided to pass as he is feeling his age and isn’t as interested as he used to be in his younger days, he also thinks some more about his younger days, Smoker and how his Prez had found his old lady, he decides to go for a ride to get out of his own head before an early night.

Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
Five Stars

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego Series by Manda Mellett. Manda and the Satan’s Devils series are on my automatic read list. I just can’t wait to get my hand on each and every book. This series with all of it’s spinoffs just keeps getting better and better. Manda makes the MC realistic and the hard men who love even harder are fascinating. Grumbler and Mary’s story is my favorite by far. I really like when authors feature a little older couples. It makes it more relatable for me. This book had me hooked from beginning to end. It had some twists and turns that had me reading long past my bedtime. The loss of sleep was well worth it. If you like MC books,I highly recommend this book, series and author.

I love the MC Satan’s Devil’s so i knew i would love this book and i was not left disappointed.
Like Book 1 this is about an older couple, Grumbler and Mary, it is so refreshing for a change and there is so much chemistry and heat, who wouldn’t want to be straddled on the back of Grumblers bike.

This is the second book in the Satan Devils MC San Diego series.
What makes this book different is the romance is between a older couple which is nice as it shows no matter what age you are you can still find love. This book is a great read but does contain some triggers. However it doesn’t take anything away from the story which was really gripping and enjoyable.

Grumbler  is a member of the Satan Devils San Diego chapter. He has never had a need for a woman in his life. His only true love is his bike. When he gets approached one day by a photographer who wants to use his bike he decides to give it a shot. After all its a way to make some cash.

At the shoot he meets Mary. Single mum to the female model. Mary’s daughter is head strong and hard work.

After not receiving payment for the pictures taken of his bike Grumbler  sets off to find the photographer and get his money. What he uncovers is a lot darker and dangerous. This journey also brings him to cross paths with Mary. Can he help protect Mary’s daughter? Can he actually have another love in his life apart from his ride?

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett was a great 5 star read.

Grumbler is approached about his bike being used for a photo shoot with some models. He agrees and at the photo shoot he meets Mary and her daughter Alicia, who is one of the models. We jump ahead a few weeks when Grumbler finds out that a photo was sold and he didn’t get his money. When he gets in touch with Mary and Alicia he finds that they haven’t been paid yet either. So he is determined to find the photographer and get what’s due to them. There is a scary twist and Alicia finds herself in a not so great situation and she goes to Grumber for help. From here things get more interesting.

As Grumbler spends more time with Mary there is a chemistry between them. Will Grumbler and his MC be able to find the photographer? Will he and Mary have a HEA?
All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I really liked how great Grumbler was with Alicia and how comfortable she was going to him for help.
If you’re looking for a great MC read this is the one for you, 1-click and get started today.
