She was haunted by her past, until he offered her a future...

Anna Rizzo has spent her life a prisoner, trapped in the twisted world of her powerful crime family. When she is finally freed, she is left shattered and broken.  Trapped in a waking nightmare she can’t escape; Anna is numb to the rest of the world. That is until the intimidating Vice President of the Rebel Sons MC barges into her life. 

Rex is a mountain of a man with a menacing presence. Under the rough exterior, a heart beats that is unexpectedly gentle and protective.  As he coaxes Anna out of her shell, an unlikely bond forms between them.  When Anna's father puts a multi-million-dollar bounty on her head, the Rebel Sons shift into high gear. With Anna's insider knowledge, they launch an explosive assault to obliterate the Moretti crime family's empire once and for all. After their hard-won victory, Anna and Rex are finally free to explore the depths of their connection.

Just as their new life begins, Anna's father strikes one final, shattering blow that threatens to destroy everything the Rebel Sons fought so hard to protect. They'll risk it all to defend their family, and fight for the future neither thought they would ever have.

This was my first Gracie Williams book and my god it will not be my last.

I was raving to my Boyf about it this morning as I was itching to just pick it back up and finish it (after starting last night)!!

Vengeance is book 2 in the Rebel Sons MC series and we’re following Rex and Anna’s story. It captivated me from the get go.

So much was packed into this book and even though I’ve not read the first one (I know I know! I’m sorry I will get to it), this was still very easy to follow. The flow of it was perfect and I enjoyed that it didn’t linger on anything and kept moving.

Rex is just everything you’d want in a book boyfriend! He was attentive, conscious of her trauma, protective, possessive and a Daddy 😏.

"That's it, baby. Now be a good girl and watch as I finger fuck you and make you come on my tongue."

I loved the comradery of the Rebel Sons MC and it’s one of the main reasons why I always have MC books in my very extensive TBR list. The Rebel Sons will have a permanent spot on my kindle shelf!!

I cant wait for the next one!

Spice level was minimal but there’s an obvious reason for that!! So please make sure you check the TWs before jumping into this one but my goodness this was so good! I just love me a biker MC romance with a true touch her and💀 trope.

Other tropes to expect -
#Single Dad
#Second Chance Romance
#Found Family
#Friends to Lovers
#MC/Biker Romance
#Revenge
#Cliffhanger
#Slow burn

This is an amazing and suspenseful Biker romance series.
It reminds of one of my old favorite shows SOA. So I knew going in I'd just love this too.
While the story spins from Mafia to Biker club the twists just keep on coming in each book.

Anna has lived her life a a prisoner to her cruel Mafia Dad and brother. Her purpose was to keep up the books for her father's businesses and her only treasure in life was the relationship she had with her sister in law. They became so close they felt more like sisters.

When Rex grabs her from her prison cell in her brother basement she's nearly dead.
He is her only comfort after the torture she went through after helping her sister in law escape her evil brother.

Gracie will capture you in her easy, creative and captivating writing. You just can't put this series down there's so much to love. You'll just adore these characters as much as I did. I cannot wait for book 3!!!

The second in the Rebel Sons MC series.

In this one we follow on with Anna’s story, her fight to recover from her ordeal and with the help of the VP Rex. She meets his daughter, and slowly re-builds her life within the safety of the compound. It turns out she actually has a lot to offer the club and works with others in order to bring down her father and his illicit businesses. Unfortunately, it isn’t all plain sailing as three of the club members end up in jail. Will their hot lawyer get them out? Will they get retribution? Who will suffer as a consequence?

Again, it drew you into club life with interconnections from the first book. There is v!0lence, m^*der, secrets revealed, healing and a little spiciness near the end. Love this pair and Emmalyn is such a sassy 5 yo diva 🤣

First of all, before you start with this book, be sure to check out the TWs, because your mental health always comes first.

The second book of the Rebel Sons MC covers some heavy topics, but Gracie manages to put them into an exciting and entralling story.
It is about Rex and Anna, both struggling with their experiences in life. They fight so hard to overcome all of this and on the way a lot of things happen - some of them are unbelievable. You will love both MCs as well as the side characters.
Don’t expect many spicy scenes, since Anna is still recovering from her trauma. But the few scenes are hot.

If you are looking for the real biker feeling, this is your book to read. Be aware that this is the second book in the series and start with Retribution.

Quotes:
"Oh, Anna? Next time you want me to make you come, just ask baby. I'll show you what the real thing is like. I promise it'll be a hell of a lot better than what you can imagine, and more satisfying than your own hand."

"I promise you that he will pay in blood for what he's done to you. No one hurts you and gets away with it ever again, you hear me? Never again."

"That's it, baby. Now be a good girl and watch as I finger fuck you and make you come on my tongue."

The title is perfect

In Retribution Rebel Sons MC book 1, we read Anna's rescue from the torture and confinement she's been in. Her brother Michael was the worst kind of monster. Her broken body only mirrored how she felt. Nearly dead til the Rebel Sons MC came in.

Rex knows the cruelty this world can hold. He's known love and suffered a tragic loss. He had a strong need to be by Anna through this, that he can't explain. After several weeks of Anna recovering in the hospital, they formed a friendship.
Their bond and chemistry only grow from there. The slow burn and build-up are perfect.

Not even 5 chapters in and I wanted to cry for these people. The way this story grabs you and keeps flipping pages.
And that Chapter 19 twist! Did not see that coming 😳

If I thought book 1 was emotional then this is beyond that. The journey life has taken for Rex and Anna to lead them to each other is harrowing yet incredible

"No one touches what's mine and lives to tell about it."

Are you kidding me... Gracie ATE this book and left NO crumbs. However I am still left wanting more. I did not put this book down. How could I? It's literally like binge watching your favorite TV show. It was definitely an emotional ride. I loved seeing things from Anna's POV and Rex. Also loved how it picks up right after book 1. It just kept me on my toes the whole time and the ENDING IM BAFFLED YA HEAR!! I need the next 😫 I can ramble on about this forever. This is my most recent fix for sure.

This book had a medium to low level of spice. But when the scenes did appear you might curl your toes a bit. This book had so many twists and turns and that is what readers need. I literally had my jaw dropped like 100 times because of this damn book!

Some tropes to expect will be:
~Single Dad
~Second Chance Romance
~Found Family
~Touch her and Die
~Friends to Lovers
~MC/Biker Romance
~Revenge
And more

Anna is a survivor of a traumatic past that she fights against to regain herself, and we get to see how she grows as a character throughout this story. It was so great to see her become something more than her past, and she is determined to be more in the club.
Rex is the VP of the Rebel Sons MC. He takes charge and protects all those he cares about, and it seems Anna is someone he may want. Though he has his own history that may hold him back from truly getting what he wants, he shows such compassion toward Anna. Rex is the type of guy who would burn down the world for his queen. Side note: he is also a single dad.
The tension and drama that Gracie wrote was gritty and well-paced, keeping you engaged in the chaos that was unfolding. So much was going on from the beginning to the last page! I was thrilled to see some characters get their karma. This is a slow burn—for good reasons, by the way. But when they finally ignited, wow, it was fierce and hot to read. Rex definitely knows how to work that tongue.

I do advise you to check the trigger warnings before reading.
It was a great read, and I recommend diving into the world of these possessive and protective men from the Rebel Sons MC.

Gahhhh these cliffhangers are killing me!

This second book in the series picks up a bit before we left off with Anna being rescued from the trafficking ring and Rex staying with her. Rex and Anna become good friends and the club is planning to bring down Moretti’s whole operation to finish the battle.

I was totally sucked in and couldn’t put this one down. So much is packed into this book it’s crazy and great and I really wish it weren’t a cliffhanger because I definitely yelled noooooo at 12:30am when I got to the end and kept trying to flip to the next page. Not much spice in this one (understandably so with Anna recovering from huge trauma) but there is some and whole story arc is priceless. Need more pretty please!!

I was excited to get Rexs book after reading the first one and it didn't disappoint. He knew how look after Anna after what she had been through. And she was willing to help any way she could to take her father. Anna was good for Rex and loved his daughter as if she was hers and Rex was good for Anna showing her how a real man loves his woman

I loved book one but this book was a good read. The end was sad for me. Rex and Anna were really good for each other. They both have a painful past but I think that gave them a deeper connection.

2nd in the rebel sons mc series and it just keeps getting better and better. you hear about rex in the first book as jake’s cousin…this is all about him. rex has definitely been through his fair share of tragedy and is the VP for the club under his dad. anna, yep this is anna from the first book, has just had a shit life since day one. repeatedly raped and abused by family and people who worked for them. rex finds her when they are searching for sarah and baby barrett and basically they each know from the get go the other is their safe space. he is the one who grounds her and helps her heal. EVERYONE knows they have a thing for each other but neither will admit it. he trusts her with his daughter and everything. her dad ends up putting a bounty out for her and rex and the club do everything they can to save her and everyone else. it’s a beautiful story and really touched me. both books have been so good so of course i’m already reading the 3rd as an ARC. it will be released on 10/25/24 and i can already tell you it’s soon good. i’m about a quarter of the way through…stay tuned!

What can I say except Gracie Williams has done it again! I couldn't put this book down. Like the first one, it has a SOA vibe and picks up right where Retribution left off. The FMC & MMC are two side characters from book one.
Anna is completely broken when Rex rescues her from a dire situation. Being fearful and skittish, Rex befriends her. Slowly helping her trust again. The bond these characters develop is 🤌🏻. I loved, loved, loved these two. He is broody, but has a very soft spot for Anna. She, while broken, has a fire in her that he sees and coaxes. His protectiveness is heart-melting and as he attempts to help her heal, she does the same for him. The suspense is amped up. Legal troubles and old demons try to come between their happily ever after.
The side characters play an bigger roll in this book and there's a huge scene at the end that leaves some unanswered questions. One thing I love about this series is the characters aren't 20 or 21 years old. They have lived and that life has shaped, but not beaten them. From Rex's burly dad to gun-toting grandma, this book is a must read! I am eagerly waiting for book three to come out this Fall. 🤩🤩🤩

This is the second book in the series and picks up where we were left in the first, but this time, with 2 different main characters, Rex and Anna

As we learnt in the first book, Anna has been thru more than anyone ever should. Her life up until now has been hell. Rex isn't there to save her but to be by her side and guide her thru her healing journey. Rex has been thru his own hell and has his own story to tell, I adored his relationship with his daughter.

I loved the relationship between the 2 MCs , they fit together perfectly, and the spicy scenes were hot hot hot.

This book gives sons of anarchy vibes and is packed full of action. It's face paced, enthralling, and everything you need from an MC novel.

I also enjoyed that we got to see more of the main characters from book 1 and the side characters. It was a true continuation of the series and not at all disjointed.

Gracie Williams has done it again, and I can't wait to read the third book.

He doesn't see me as ruined or damaged goods. In his eyes, I'm still worthy of being loved and cared for.

This was a good second book in the journey of Anna and Rex that of course ends with a cliffhanger! A quick but impactful read, I finished it in one sitting, and it was a very plot-driven book where we learn more about the characters and the goings on in the operation. There wasn't much spice but it didn't feel like it needed it, as we are shown Anna's recovery from her trauma, which the story focuses on. Rex is very morally questionable but he is so protective of Anna, which is sweet. Overall a good book and I look forward to seeing what the next book holds!

What To Expect:
⨳ MF Dark Romance
⨳ Motorcycle Club
⨳ Second Chance
⨳ Possessive MMC
⨳ Suspenceful
⨳ Cliffhanger

I was absolutely obsessed with Sons of Anarchy back in the day. Jax and Opie were my favorite morally grey men!

So when I had the opportunity to read Book 2 of a motorcycle club series, I jumped at the opportunity!

And I'm so glad I did! Book 2 follows the rescue of Anna, who spent her life as a prisoner by her sadistic crime family. Rex, VP of the Rebel Sons MC, helps bring Anna back from her trauma and destroy her father's empire.

What I loved about this book is that while it's a contemporary romance, it's also full of action! It definitely played on my love of SONS tv show and brought me back into that world!

Expect a slow burn from Anna's trauma recovery and a cliffhanger leaving you wanting more from this MC!

The Rebel Sons MC series continues with Rex and Anna. Anna is recovering from years of abuse at the hand of her father’s trafficking ring. Rex, single dad and VP of the club, wants revenge for the ones who had a hand in hurting her. Things go belly up during Rex’s mission, and he’ll do anything he can to get back to Anna and his daughter.
I really loved Anna’s journey of recovery in this book. It didn’t feel rushed or forced and Rex’s daughter reminds me of my own daughter with her sassy personality. looking forward to reading the third in this series which releases next week!

Book 2 of the Rebel Sons MC trilogy, this story follows Anna and Rex as they navigate healing from the traumas of their past and moving forward together. Meanwhile, the club supports Anna by keeping her safe from her father and his human trafficking ring. I appreciated how Anna’s healing was handled on page and how Rex supported her while not neglecting his physical attraction to her. It was also great to see Rex be a good father as he juggled club duty. On to book 3!

I was given a free copy. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Vengeance

Oh my god, that was a hell of a ride.
Loved the way the Rebel Sons went to war against not only the Moretti trafficking ring but the invasion of the Hells Hellion MC was brutal and suspenseful.
Couldn’t put the phone down for long before picking it back up to continue reading.
Gracie Williams, love your work!
The strong connection between Rex and Anna was amazing to take in, it was a rough road but all came to a perfect ending.

Gracie Williams has LEVELLED UP!! 🥵 Rex and Anna's story got my into my cold, dead heart!!

I knew the Sons were in for a fight, but that ending ruined me!! Book 3 can't come quick enough

I was on the edge of my seat the entire book, and I couldn't turn those pages quickly enough!

This is easily the best MC romance I have read. It's a story about family, second chances, and protecting those you love against all costs.

Brilliant
