No women and no children was a code he always lived by.
But when the Tidals & Anchors MC has unanimously voted to take her down, he'll have to do what he does best. What he doesn't know is that this is just the beginning. Someone has set him up and a masked assailant seems to be hellbent on inflicting as much pain on him as he has on others.

Ehh. Maybe this is not just for me. I like my bikers in a different way.
But next up to our " another unrelated subject", look at my cute pouch,
Isn't it cute? I bought it together with this book, and though the book didn't work for me, I got a new (not so new now) kitty wallet.

"Pardon. Mary Ann. Dallas. The Faceless Coward. Tidals & Anchors. My list was going to leave an epic bloodbath in my wake, but I would get every last person that wronged me. That was a fucking promise."
Beginning with the bleak predicament of a captured man I was immediately hooked especially when the torture commenced...Nero "Swing" Radar is the Dealer of Havoc for the Tidals and Anchors MC. More accustomed to dishing out the pain to those his club believe deserve he has somehow ended up on the sharp, bloody end of the blade. This is his story of how he fell from grace, why he was the most notorious member of the MC and became a man with target on his head.
Swing is the blood of the MC being a direct son of a founding member. When it's time to vote in a new Prez the club has to choose between Swing and Dallas...in a shock move the reigning Prez requests an extra year. Why? No one thinks to ask until it's too late. What does Pardon need the extra time for, and what did he set in motion with the last sanctioned hit he orders Swing to complete? Lies, secrets and betrayal lead Swing into a dark blood stained place...
This is the first novella in a series and I for one loved every shadowy page. I'm a huge fan of the genre but this is something more. Focusing on the brothers and the MC Swing is a darker shade of MC hotness. Swing makes no excuses, he was raised to be the man he is today and has no doubts to who he is. He does what needs to be done for his MC, his brothers, his family. Until the tables are turned and he finds himself in danger. Why and how will he survive? This is an edge of your seat, read between your fingers as you try not to squeal type read. The tension ramps up high and the ending is pure evil. Get writing woman...we NEED more.
A five star Swingtastic read.

Yolanda Olson writing a MC book umm hell yeah!! Swing is one of my favs of Yolanda's characters. He is a bit of a mystery and I love it! Tidals & Anchors is about to flip the switch as you may say. Come join this adventure by the amazing Yolanda Olson!

In true Yolanda fashion, she took this book and knocked it out of the park!!
The first in a series, Swing has everything you've come to expect from Yolanda. Of course, this does end on a cliffhanger, but the premise itself is thought provoking. And how it's left?? I can't wait for the next installment to see how she works it!
Definitely a must read for Yolanda fans, as well as MC fans!!

Yolanda does it again, I love my biker reads and this is one hell of a ride. I devoured this book in one sitting and I couldn't get enough.
Swing is a man that you don't mess with, his brothers in the MC come to him when problems need fixing, fixing in a permanent way.
This is an MC biker read that is toes the line of a darker read, as Yolanda has one of those minds that is exceedingly, deliciously dark.
Swing has the tables turned on him and finds himself in a situation that he would never of dreamed off. Here on in lays lies, deception, betrayal of the worst kind. You will be so surprised at the outcome at the end of the book.
This read will leave you wanting more, more than you have ever needed from a book.
I cannot wait to see where Yolanda's mind takes us next.

I don't read too many MC books but when Yolanda posted a little snippet of this book in her beta group I was hooked and knew immediately that I had to read it! Yolanda never disappoints that's for sure! No matter what she writes you are always left wanting more and Swing is no different. Trust and believe that you will be yanked (figuratively of course) into this book and and left begging for more by the end. I am pleased to know that there is more Swing to come and can't wait to find out what happens next!!!! Yolanda is by far the most wickedly talented and bad assed author that I have had the pleasure of knowing. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this book!!!!

I received an ARC for an honest review.
MC are not my favourite stories as they're often just too violent...but it's Yolanda and I'm a slave to her tales.
This story was an adrenaline rush and it's not over, not by far. This is part 1 and I need more now, it was a smooth read, fast paced and great characters. I'm still undecided whether or not Swing is a good guy gone bad or just a bad boy with a hint of good. Yolanda is messing with my mind as usual. There was murder, drama, kidnapping...does this mean war?

Swing by Yolanda Olson, oh my... it held my attention from the beginning to the end, I could not put it down. This book was filled with action, family love and deceit. All I can say is wow...This is my first book by Yolanda Olson, it will not be my last. I can't wait for the next book. This is a novella, but reads like a full length novel there is nothing missing in this story. Do yourself a favor and read this book, you will love it too.
I was given an ARC of this book, for my honest review.

We meet Swing, He is the dealer of havoc for Tidals & Anchors MC. We follow his story and how he came to be in a room with a white masked woman. We follow his story from dealing havoc to people he is asked to to his life. Will Swing get out of this situation? Who put him in this situation?
This is a dark story, no happily ever after. This was a brilliant story a good twist to a MC book. This is book one of a series

I've never read an MC book, but I'm glad I did! As Yolanda's first attempt at this type of book.....bravo!!!! My attention was caught from the very beginning. As story unfolds I find my self torn and not only rooting for Swing but also Saylor, can't wait to find out what makes this little girl tick. If you haven't read it... its a must read
December 17, 2015
When Yolanda Olson says she is writting a MC book you know hot guys and dark crazys will be involved! I can't get enough of Swing you want to hate him but there is a part of you that can't help but want him. There is mystery, bikers, power struggles kidnapping all the makings of a gotta have book!

Wonderful
Yolanda hit the nail on the head with a biker life. This story was amazingly written. The amount of detail into everything was awesome. As a biker Yolanda made me proud

Even though this was a very fast read I really loved the premise of the book. Swing is an enforcer for an mc who is set up by the club president and then kidnapped by a female biker club. Dallas his friend helps him escape from the president who happens to be his father. I really need to finish reading this series.

SWING
I've never read an MC book like this one. Most of the characters aren't likable. I can't sympathize with their crazy. However, I loved Swing... For some reason, he stood out. The rules that his MC had were rather interesting and those same rules later nite him in the behind. I'm curious about the next book in the Tidals & Anchors MC. But I hope there will be blood.

Yessssss loved it!!!
So Swing is a enforcer of the MC club. If you need someone dead he's your man. But his last hit messed him up. He never had this problem before, he can kill with no remorse. Times are changing in the MC club, can Swing survive it?

2.5 stars!!!
This is the scenario where it's not you, it's me. There was nothing wrong with Swing. The story and characters fell flat to me. I didn't feel that "connection." I am going to read the next one to find out how it ends, but I'm not at the top of my list.

Hmmm...
The premise of the story is good. The characters are fun. The grammar though. I couldn’t overlook. Things are a bit choppy getting the plot to continue forward. I did really enjoy the inner dialogue of the main character.

First things first: this is not an erotic horror or thriller. It's... horror. Or thriller. I would actually put it more under the 'suspenseful thriller' category. When I pick up something that is labeled erotic, I expect ... erotic. At least one scene. Thus, when I read it, I got something completely unexpected.
That being said... it was a decent read. The main character, Nero or "Swing", is pretty fleshed out. I don't understand why he didn't protest more when he was sent to kill a woman. His big rule is no women, no kids, and to me it seemed like Pardon went up to him and said, "Kill her." Swing's response was "Hmm... maybe I sh--OK." Very little protest, and he didn't find out why. That seemed a little off to me, but he was an enjoyable character to read. The mood was dark, and I have to give the author props here-- SPOILER AND POSSIBLY TRIGGER ALERT --
However, the book ends on a cliffhanger. I do not like cliffhangers unless they come at a very long book. For that, and the miscategorization, I have to knock it lower than I would normally, hence 3 stars... "It was OK".
If you go into it expecting a thriller/suspense novella? You'll more than likely enjoy it very much!

I need the next one now damn it! Loved this MC read from Yolanda Olson. It had me wondering what the fuck was going to happen from the get go.
Nero Radar A.K.A Swing a member or the Tidals & Anchors MC is the one that deals out the "havoc" votes in his club so when someone needs to go he's the man to see. Except he has one rule no women and children, but when his club pres puts a hit on a women he has no choice but to take it.
After unwillingly accepting the job his life gets a little difficult and now believing he was set up from the start.
Damn that ending Yolanda Olson I need the next installment like now!
