Ok. I JUST finished. I have some rage right now. Serious freaking rage. WTF?!
Damn Gracie. (Also eff you cause what kind of ending was that?!) But damn you write a good book!
The story flowed so well and was easy to pick up characters and storylines. Beau and Sohpie are the perfect match for each other.
The only *important* note i have is that it needs to be listed as a continuous series. This book should not be read as a stand-alone, which is what I have unknowingly done. But in saying that, I went back to check the info i could find on the first two books in the series and it doesn't specify either way. Had I read the first two, this book would be a solid win for me. Since I have not, it is still missing those vital pieces to make it a top read.

Multiple POVs

Im obsessed with the Rebel Sons MC! Each book in this series just gets better and better for me! I enjoyed the multiple POVs in this one. I think for me, one of the things I loved about Awakening is it's a continuation of book 2 for me. Yes, 2 was for 1 but this felt different. I think because Rex was the MMC in 2 and he's a POV in #3 as well, it felt like a different continuation that I liked!

The MMC in Awakening is Beau, Rex's sexy daddy. Yes, I said it! While we pick up right after Beau is shot in book 2, I loved the prologue that gave us a background of a young Beau. I was so worried about Beau after the cliffhanger of Vengeance, so I'm so glad we're finally shipping Beau and Sophia together!

Sophia, our FMC. Girl! You rock those sexy curves! I think I love Beau because he reminds me of my hubby lol. He loves those curves and it's refreshing to read that! I love Sophia’s emotional journey and growth she's made too. Just so proud!

Now, I'm going to need a book 4 to figure out that surprise ending!

Before you start reading this story read the trigger warnings, because your mental health always comes first.

Gracie’s third story is as extraordinary as we have come to expect from her previous books. We meet Beau, our MMC—the MC Prez of the Rebel Sons MC—who was shot in the head at the end of book two and is now slowly recovering from his injury. Sophie is our curvy FMC, who suffered a lot in her early life. Now she lives with the MC and tries to stay out of trouble. Both of them felt the spark between them over the last few years but never acted on it for different reasons.

The story is complex and fast-paced; the MC has to deal with the Garza Cartel as well as another MC, the Hellions. And it seems they have a rat in their ranks, too.

The spice in the book is hot, and you will definitely squirm in your seat.

So grab your book now, it is already up for preorder.

"Second, did you listen when I told you to stop a minute ago? I don't fųçking think so. And since we're playing it like that, you have ten seconds to get that gorgeous aşş of yours up here on this bed, and your pųşşy on my face, or so help me God, I will put you over my knee and spank that aşş 'til it's red.”

"Eyes forward," he orders. When I look forward, I understand why he positioned me this way. The mirror above his dresser is directly in front of us. I watch as his large, tattooed hand moves down my stomach and between my legs. I gasped as his fingers begin to tease me, dipping inside me, before slowly sliding out again. The muscles in his arms flexing with every movement.

Awakening is book 3 in the Rebel Sons MC Series.

Fueding biker clubs, protective family, betrayals, and snitches. This has a little bit of everything for everyone, but in the best way. Nothing seemed to overwhelm the plot or take away from any other aspect. It was perfectly balanced.

This is definitely not a standalone option and should be read in order to understand the full history of the club and backstories.

Beau and Sophie had me blushing and my goodness the spice, seriously learned new breathing exercises to practice while trying to read this and remain in control, it's that good!!

Gracie is an incredible authors and I really look forward to what story she's going to tell next.

This book does contain dark themes, and trigger warnings should be read before continuing. Your mental health matters.

10 stars! From the first page it captivates the reader. All the drama, rollercoaster of emotions, the tense situations, action packed from beginning to end. The end leaves off on a cliff hanger leaving you begging for me! I need to know what happens. After all the pain and heartache from the characters, I need someone to have a happily ever after

Thank you Gracie for my ARC copy!
What else can I say, I simply adore Gracie Williams and her writing. She had me hooked from the beginning with Retribution. Like the first two books Awakening is a solid 5 stars. I cannot say enough good things about this series! I swear once you put one down you will want to pick up the next. Beau and Sophia are so adorable. Start with book one and work your way through this series is incredible!!

Awakening
By Gracie Williams

4.5 ⭐ 4 🌶️

Tropes:
MC Romance/President - Curvy FMC - Age Gap - Emotional Scars - Friends to Lovers - Multiple POV - He Falls First - Found Family - She Can’t “O”

Main Characters:
Beau & Sophia

Stand out lines/quotes:
“Seven years. He'd been carrying this ring, carrying his love for me, for seven years.”
“Whether it’s single handed, double handed, mouth, dick, toys, I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll have to endure a lot of long, hard hours of hot and dirty work but I’m willing to step up and make the necessary sacrifices to get the job done.”

My Thoughts:
I’m a little salty at the ending but, aside from that, I really enjoyed reading this. Sophia’s story had my heart breaking but Beau… oh that man. I need him to come and “fix” all of my non-existent problems. I kinda saw that twist coming but the way it played out was better than I had seen in my head. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

i had the amazing opportunity to ARC for @graciewilliamsauthor for her third book in the Rebel Sons MC series. holy cliffhanger for one. this book is bout beau riggs, the leader of the north ridge chapter and the mother chapter of rebel sons mc. he wakes up from a coma to total chaos. the girl he ha been pining for, for years, is finally in his grasp and he can make her his. this is a beautiful story about working through someone’s past trauma and taking care of them and showing them what love truly is. he also has a club to run, a foe club to eliminate and a cartel to run for…the man has a full plate. this book touched me as well as kept me on my toes. i love this series and can’t wait for the next book.

See now I’m struggling with which couple are my favourite 🤔

We follow on from the previous book with Beau and Sophia’s story…bless their hearts! All that time they have coveted each other and a near death brings them together. Of course, we are still reading about the interconnected characters, there are still uproars with the Hellions and suddenly the cartel are now involved, they kind of were before but this time it’s a direct threat.

I feel like I’m invested in the club myself now, and Gracie keeps leaving us on a cliffy (love me one) however, we have to wait for the next book now. Great writing, the spice is a long time coming (no pun intended), there is a betrayal within the compound, and a ghost from the past makes an appearance.

4.5 stars

A little less than a year ago, a friend of mine convinced me to read MC romances. While I still haven’t read many, I have read some pretty good ones. Awakening was one of the better MC romances that I have had the opportunity to read. It hooked me from the prologue and continued until the very end. This is the third book in the Rebel Sons MC series and while it can be read as a stand alone, it is so much better when you have the whole story. There were some things that I was able to pick up in the story, but I think it would have been so much better if I had read the previous books. I loved the way that this book was written, specifically the fact that it wasn’t just through the POV of the MMC and FMC. We also got to see things from the point of view of Beau’s son Rex and a chapter through the POV of Jax. I thought this added to the plot and took it from just a romance to a good book about an MC.

I loved the characters in this book. Specifically, I loved Beau. From the prologue, you can’t help but love this guy that had to grow up quickly when he found out his girlfriend was pregnant with his child that she didn’t want. His love for his child is bigger than anything. He is such an amazing MMC. He hasn’t had an easy life but he is so loyal to the people in his life. And the way he is with Sophia *swoon*. The only time you want to smack him is when he is pushing her away because he doesn’t want pity. I can’t hold it against him. I’ve been there. I’ve pushed away. But luckily Sophia is the amazing woman that she is and refused to let him. Sophia has been through even more than Beau and it breaks your heart when she talks about how she doesn’t like any man to touch her except Beau. Even when Maverick is hugging her, it is a struggle for her. But Beau, being the perfect guy is so understanding and loving. He is there for her 100%.

Outside of Beau and Sophia, the rest of the characters are just as wonderful. Rex, Maverick, all of the MC (well most). But man, I wanted to slap Lainey. What she did to that angel of a man was unforgivable. This book was great because it not only had a great romance, but the plot of the story was interesting and engaging. There was some very nice spice scenes, but the spice wasn’t so much that it took away from the story. I thought this was a well written, entertaining story.

Awakening starts off right where Vengeance ended. Beau is in the hospital in a coma. Rex is filling in as club Prez while Beau recovers. They have the Hellions to deal with right now. Then, after the club dismantles Moretti's operation and Tony and Michael are taken out the club is face with another challenging obstacle Mateo Hildago, leader of the Garza Cartel. He knows about the missing money Michael had stolen from them and is demanding $20 million or for them to go into business with them.
After ten years of Beau trying with Sophia, she finally is able to give in, make it feel like its her choice. After everything Tony Moretti has put her through he made sure she never felt free. Never could stand the touch of another person. That is until Tony took his final breath. Now they have a rat in their midst and must flush him out. With enemies coming at both sides can Sophia, Beau, and the club beat the odds against the cartel and the Hellions?

Ohh!!! The way this ended!!! I need answers!!! How dare it end there!!!! This was a fantastic read. I didn’t want this to come to an end and Gracie really does not disappoint. She knows just the right heartstrings to pull and when to pull them. She gives you just enough to keep you hooked and I was literally hanging on the edge of my seat reading this book. The twists, the spice, the drama, the angst it was everything and more. My heart was literally in my throat rooting for Beau to break through Sophia's issue of not being able to "O." I love that he is willing to take it at her pace with whatever she is comfortable with. I absolutely love Wolf's commentary in here. He had me laughing so hard. I can't wait to see what comes next for our Rebel Sons. Til then We ride together, we rise together, we die together. Sons forever!

Quotes

Okay, so I have been an ARC reader for Gracie, since the 1st book of rebel sons came into the world. I can honestly say that her writing has improved incredibly. Awakening is full of deep emotions, plenty of smut, and the beautiful world that I will continue to immerse myself in.
This book focused on multiple characters, we get a little of Rex and Anna's journey, and a whole lot of Beaus and Sophia's journey.
I found the current strife among the club very realistic. The emotions that are shared after a lifetime of brotherhood, was really something special. This book had more of this plot emerging, I was very relieved to see how the characters progressed. Also was relieved that they caught the rat. But completely miffed Gracie, that I have to wait for the next installment for deets on how shit goes down with the club. ☝🏻
Also very miffed at the ending, I'm sat here now seething that I don't know who it was that Pops was officiating. Like what was that ending you demon woman. I've already started recommending the series from the start, but this book HAS to receive further recommendations because it is truly the best of both worlds, I swear the book was 69% smut, 31% club action. Brilliant. the smut was the tastefully written, none of that fancy writing crap other authors use, with romance novels. The book had a fair few 'whew' moments after reading. Like yes you go glen coco!
Anyway, what I'm trying to get across here is that I've tried unsuccessfully to read other novels of this genre, but they just don't do it right, they use strange phrases like they pulled up an archaic thesaurus and slapped some words down on paper. I'm a fantasy/thriller lover, and Gracie is the only author that has made me break the pattern, made me try to branch out for that biker vibes dark and twisty vibe I seek. (Not that I've had any success finding something comparable).
Another point for the Rebel Sons series I guess.
You may or may not enjoy this book as much as I did, that's your choice.
For me though, it's another hit and I can't wait for my next rebel fix.

Firstly I would just like to have a rage moment for the ending of this book! If you like to be slapped then slapped again while you’re down and out then this series is for you! The cliffhanger ending has me reeling!

This is Book 3 of the Rebel Sons MC series where we follow Daddy Beau and Sophia.

Beau is the MC Pres who was a single dad at the age of 16 with Rex ( read book 2 for Rex’s story). Beau beats death to be united with a new family member and his past ex reappears just as the club is dealing with a shit storm from a rivalry MC and the Cartel.

Sophia is the Bar manager of the Tavern and is finally piecing her life back together after having to watch her back since she was 16!

The slow burn, the twists and turns, the sweetest of love that blooms after being on the back burner for 10 years, the tension…. It will send you on an emotional rollercoaster so hold on tight!!

Never imagined I would say that a 50year old has my heart…. Daddy Beau you can claim me any day 🔥

Favorite Quote/Saying:

“Yes, I love you. I’ve loved you since the moment I first saw you standing behind the bar at the ridge pouring a beer with your hair piled on top of your head with a pen sticking through it. I’ve loved every part of you since then and nothing is going to change that now. I love everything about you. I want you to enjoy this as much as I do. If you’re not comfortable or ready, that’s okay. We can go as slow as you need”

Beau & Sophia… 10 years in the making

Being book 3 of the Rebel Sons MC series, we have already been introduced to the MMC and MFC in the first 2 books. This book also picks up from the end of book 2: Vengeance. Beau is the President of the MC and single father of Rex (from book 2). Beau has just woken up to a new reality of new threats to him, his club, and his family. He also learns that he has another son, and that itself brings on new complications for him and the club. Sophia is Anna’s mom (from book 2) and has been a part of the MC for over 10 years after she came across the club looking for a job while on the run from her past. Fearing her past colliding with her present, Sophia has never allowed herself to get close to Beau, no matter how much they grow to love each other without admitting it. Now her past is no longer an issue; she is able to be with whoever she wishes, but there is now a whole new set of obstacles to get through before they can even start to try for their forever. Will they ever get the chance? 
This whole series so far has been a great set to read. You can’t have a good MC series without a healthy mixture of action, s*x, betrayal, murder, kidnapping, gun fights, and of course either a cliffhanger or a plot twist thrown in there somewhere. 

Just like the first two books, this one did not disappoint as far as the story; the only thing was the cliffhanger, but I am excited to see what happens in the next book. If you enjoy second chances and touch her and 💀books, then I recommend you add this to your list.

I have fallen in love with this series and I am beyond upset the next one is not released yet!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!! I’m on the edge…..if you haven’t started this series and like biker club books with sexy af MC try these out. This one is mainly Beau but there are previous characters from the first 2 in the series. Must read first 2 to read this. Easy to read. I could not put down especially mid book when things heat up. There was so much going on in the book tying all of the books together and I really loved the writing of beau after he got shot. Very well written. I was laughing at Em’s pronunciation of “Whak-a-mo-lee!!!” I received this book as an ARC and I hope @graciewilliamsauthor will let me read the next one as an ARC too! You got me on pins and needles!!!

Quotes: (much more but limited amount..lol)

“Goddamn this pretty pussy is so fucking wet already. Has me being away made you this needy?”

“Bend over, elbows on the counter, and arch that sexy ass up. I’ll give you what you need.”

“Open your eyes and look at me.” I slowly open my eyes. As I do, he runs his thumb along my bottom lip.  “It’s just me and you. Let go, baby. Give me what I want.”

“Yeah, I’m okay. It’s just now I owe you a bumper sticker and a T-shirt.”

“You like watching me touch myself, baby? Knowing I'm doing this because of how you make me feel?" His thumb slid across the head of his cock, mixing his own arousal with mine. "Knowing I'm thinking about what it feels like when I slide my cock inside of you, stretching you, claiming what's mine?”

“making you come so fucking hard you squirt all over me… that’s what I’ve missed the most.”

“Goddamn, just like that,” I groan. "You take my cock so fucking well.”

“Yes!" She moans. "Oh god.”…..“Not god, baby, but I’ll fuck you like one.” I growl into her neck.”

“Now  you're gonna take me in that pretty fucking mouth of yours.”

“You heard me, Soph. Get on this bed and put that sweet fucking pussy in my face, now."

I just finished reading and I am hooked. Awakening was not what I expected it was even better. I went in knowing it was a book based on an MC. I am a huge SOA fan so I was hoping it gave me the vibes. It did not disappoint. Not only did I love the Beau and Sophia story line. But just getting glimpses of the other members in the MC from Rex to Maverick even Beau's mom. I laughed in certain parts and held my breath in others hoping that things would eventually sort out and that everyone involved would get out of it alive. I think the most captivating part happened in the beginning when we got the beginning of Beau's story in becoming a father. He was a teen father who stepped up to the plate when he most needed to and that was so commendable. Even after the fact the amount of respect that his son Rex has for him just makes your heart grow. The story picks up over 30 years later and we see where Beau now is with his life. I think him and Sophia showed so much patience and love. The way that she took care of him and was there when he most needed her. One big issue I have is the way the story ended (it isn't even an issue I just wanted more). I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Gracie Williams I am a fan.

lAwakening is a multiple POV book, so you get to see the story unfold from all different angles.
~
In this book we are following Beau Riggs, the Prez of the MC Rebel Sons. Following an incident seen at the end of Book 2, this book sees him recovering and getting the girl he has been pining over for YEARS.
~
The girl of the hour in this book is Sophia, our curvy FMC, who has lived through a life of hell to get where she is now. Beau has been her solid for years looking out for her and being the support and friend she needed, but nearly losing him made her reconsider how she views their relationship.
~
The MC has their fair share of drama to navigate as expected amongst the friends to lovers romance blooming but the plot in this one just kept me turning the pages, there’s so much to unpack and the level of intensity never dips throughout. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs and felt it really helped keep that intensity!

This book is out now and is a MUST read if you love an MC romance book, as always please check the trigger warnings before diving in and this does touch on some heavy topics. Your Mental Health Matters! 💜

[Ashlie Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, Beau Riggs! If brooding MC presidents navigating family drama, romance, and enough tension to snap a Harley’s throttle are your thing, then Awakening should be your next read. Beau Riggs, king of the Rebel Sons MC and the guy you want when things go south, has his world turned on its head after a brutal attack leaves his club—and his heart—in chaos.

Enter Sophia Rizzo, the woman Beau’s been hopelessly smitten with from afar. She’s no damsel, but a real ray of light who pulls Beau back from the edge, even as danger sneaks in from every corner. It’s heartwarming to see Sophia find her freedom, thanks to the Rebel Sons riding in to clear out the ghosts of her past. But Beau? He’s dealing with some surprise fatherhood, ghostly betrayals, and the heart-wrenching question: uphold his life’s loyalty to the club or protect his newly discovered son.

Between the high-octane club drama, rival gang showdowns, and more tension than you’ll find in a romance novel aisle, this book keeps you strapped in. It’s raw, edgy, and filled with enough passion and heartbreak to make you question just how much one man can handle.

Sophia has known Beau for 10 years after arriving in their small town when she fled from the Morretti's near age 16 and had been running ever since. She takes a job with one of their local businesses. She doesn't want to get in any relationship due to her connection with Morretti. Her daughter Anna was still in the crossfire. Beau, however, has been asking for a date this whole time and getting turned down. Beau has been a silent presence, always looking out and being a safe place for her. Sophia finally gives in after her connection is severed and Anna is safe. Beau gets injured, and Sophia doesn't leave his side.

Ya'll Beau is a grizzly bear who led his MC with a stern fist. When you finally see these two admit feelings, it's a whirlwind romance that gets tied together quickly. The ending will leave you waiting for the next book as this series is interconnected and not stand-alone.

I loved book 1 & book 2 in this series very much but book 3 was a dream that I didn't know Gracie was going to write. I anticipated it so much.
This is the story of Beau and Sofia. Beau is my dream book boyfriend for sure, I guess that since we're close in age that makes it even hotter.

Sofia's life was insanely horrific by the age of 16. Having dealt with a pedophile put her off men her entire life, making it impossible for her to be able to allow herself to orgasm.

Beau's story also, wasn't so pleasant and at age 16 he became a single father and that was all he lived for besides taking the reigns in his fathers Biker's club as President.

Their story is so captivating and real, filled with twist after twists between criminals, biker clubs and even the mafia. It's about greed and who's in charge leaving some to do things against their will to protect their families. I cannot wait for more of these characters stories.

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the story of Beau and Sophia. Beau is the president of the Rebel Sons MC who gets shot in the head in an ambush by a rival MC gang. Which was where book 2 left us. He and Sophia have had a strong emotional connection for almost a decade but aren’t together. It isn’t until he gets shot that Sophia realizes she can’t live without him. Both have emotional scars and trauma to last them a lifetime — with Sophia having been trafficked and Beau becoming a single dad at 16. I feel like I needed more of them together in this story because the main focus was really the motorcycle club more so than the couple themselves.

The storyline about the Rebel Sons MC up against the cartel and a rival MC gang was riveting and very reminiscent of Sons of Anarchy - suspense with a side of romance. The plot has so many twists surprises. That cliffhanger left you wondering where the rest of the pages were because there was so much still left unsaid. And so the wait for book 4 begins

This book picks up right where book 2 left off, here we follow Beau, our MC Prez, as he was shot and now has to recovery from those injuries.

Insert Sophia, our curvy FMC, as she navigates through a traumatic past with men but so desperately wants to get closer to Beau. The MC club helped Sophia 10 year ago when she was running and trying to start a new life while Beau was always there protecting from a far waiting for her to be ready.

I loved the level of communication the mc’s have to build a safe and trusting relationship.

But leaving the book on a cliffhanger ma’am come one!!

The third installment in the Rebel Sons series follows Beau, the President of the club, and Sophia, a woman who sought shelter from the club years ago after the mob boss who had her captured let her go. Beau and Sophia have always shared a connection, but it was never safe for Sophia to follow her feelings. The club has discovered a rat amongst them as they try to recover from the siege on the compound that left Beau hospitalized. Sophia finds herself in the middle accidentally, and Beau does everything he can to get her back.
I loved reading about Beau and Sophia, though I had to mentally compartmentalize because they’re the same age as my parents and just 😅 ick lol but regardless! Another amazing story by Gracie and the ending was just straight up rude. Looking forward to reading the next installment!

In his darkest hour, an unexpected light emerges– Sophia Rizzo, the woman he's silently loved for years.

Beau is the President of the Rebel Sons Motorcycle Club and a MMC you cannot help but fall in love with. Sophia is a total baddie, such a strong and determined FMC.
So much pain and heartache between the characters, they deserve their HEA.

This story follows Beau, MMC and President of the Rebel Sons MC, and Sophie, our curvy FMC. I just have to say, I love seeing curvy girls get their attention in books! 😍

This book picks up right where book two left off, Beau is recovering from the gunshot wound. Sophie has gone through a lot on her life and now she lives with the MC and is just trying to stay out of trouble. There have always been sparks between the two, but they never acted on it, until now. There is a rat in the organization and they are trying to find out who.

Beau, the MMC, is the Pres, and a single father. Sophia, the FMC, is the tavern manager, and she's been alone since she was a teen. Both characters have had a difficult past, and after a certain incident, Sophia is re-evaluating her life and friendship with Beau.

This is quite a slow-burn, but it holds onto you, so you don't feel like you're missing anything. I loved watching Sophia and Beau's relationship morph from friendly to lovers, and the emotions I felt. Awakening has plenty of twists, tension, action, and all the rivalry (MCs and mafia) you can want.

That cliffhanger almost took me out. I need the next book like I need air.

My favorite quote:
“It’s just me and you. Let go, baby. Give me what I want.”

Wow. This book was amazing! It's my first book I've read by Gracie Williams and now I need to go read all her other books because omg. Her writing Hooks you and drags you into the book itself. It feels like your immersed into the book and with the characters.
All the different POVs made you feel like you knew each of the characters, made them feel real and alive. And Beau! Omg didn't know i had a daddy kink 🤣🤣 he can still get it for an old man 😉
The story line is fast paced, has twists and turns, found family, spice and everything nice. If you haven't read this book. Go get it!

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶🌶🌶
If you have not read this entire series so far and you are a SOA fan or an MC romance fan, you are seriously missing out!
This book starts off with a bang picking up right after book 2 of the series. Emotions are high, and the story is gripping and suspenseful from the moment you start reading. Pieces of Beau's past return in full force while he deals with heartwrenching twists and turns, a suprise son, and all while trying to find his HEA with the woman he's loved for years, Sophia. Sophia is such a strong and beautiful woman, resilient and brave, and she deserves nothing less than a strong, loving, fierce protector like Beau.
This whole series is wholesome, sexy, and will have you hook, line, and sinker. Fair warning the cliffhangers in this series are steep.

Daddy Beau is everything 😍 The plot had my head spinning with all the twists and guessing I was doing and the ending?! Uff I’m dying for more already! I love getting to still get the other couples and the family dynamic with them all is just so heart warming, and Miss Sophia? The badass lady is just perfection ❤️ Please do yourself a favor and read all these books as soon as possible 🥰
