Rebellious is the 2nd book in the True Brothers MC series. It can be read as a standalone no problem. I didn't read book 1 and I had no problem following Reb and Emily's story. Rebellious was a pretty good read but I felt like it was missing something. Depth! I think it needed to be longer and then I would have been able to enjoy it more. It kinda felt rushed and more superficial. I would have liked to have gotten more in depth with the main couple and their relation ...more

Great second book.

So excited to see Jess's friend Emily from the first book get her HEA. Reb is the prez of the True Brothers who we also met in the first book (and his soon to be ex-wife who a serious bunch of cray-cray). They were great together plus really hot in the bedroom. I loved how sweet the big gruff biker was with Emily. Tucker is a great kid despite who his mom is. This book takes place after Jess and Zag's book but before the epilogue.

I was so excited when I got this book! Gillian Archer left an impression with the first book, Ruthless. I'm finding that I'm a huge fan of the True Brothers MC. Zag from Ruthless is a tough man to beat and he'll probably always be my favorite, but Rebel sure came close. He's the Prez, the top dog at True Brothers MC and that alone is hawt! The fact that he is described as huge and built more like a football player cinched it for me. Shallow, I know. I mentioned in my review of Ruthless that I ho ...more

This isn't unusual unfortunately, not wanting Tucker sitting alone outside for who knows how long Emily invites him in for pizza. When it becomes obvious Tuckers mom isn't coming home Emily starts asking Tucker about his dad, Finding out he's at work Emily decides to go meet Tucker's father and get Tucker to him. Driving into a shady part of town Emily starts to worry and when they end up at Zag's MC her best friends finance Emily starts wondering if this is the best place for Tucker.

Seeing Tucker's dad Emily is instantly attracted to him but more importantly Emily wants to make sure that Tucker will be safe with his dad and also that he knows what's been going on for too long now with Tucker. Seeing his son with the beautiful friend of Jessica Reb is very confused and when she starts throwing attitude his attraction to her just grows. Then she tells him what his ex has been up to and he is furious. Not wanting her to get away Reb gets her to his house and "convinces" her to stay.

After that night neither wants to deny the attraction but Reb had no plans of ever getting into a relationship again after the disaster that was Rhonda his ex(tucker's mom) and Emily has her own broken past with rejection and hurt littering her life, but the longer they spend together the less these obstacles seem to matter. Being with Reb and Tucker Emily is happier than she has ever been but not everything is easy Reb is in a bitter custody battle and Emily's past is coming back to haunt her. Now all Reb can think about is keeping this woman who has turned into his whole world safe and by his side.

I really enjoyed book one, I liked the story and the characters and the authors voice. But this book was really amazing. I was hooked from he first page, the beginning scene with Tucker and Emily had me hooked and I was till the very end of this book. I loved Emily she is sweet and strong but her past has left its scars on her. Rev was amazing, rough around the edges but very possessive and kind and understanding as well as a great dad. Tucker was so cute in this book. I love that we are seeing more and more when kids are in books they aren't just cute little additions to throw in a book, they are actually characters that add something which is exactly what Tucker was.

The story was really great in this one I loved the twist, though I kind of guessed it, We get a great hea in this book which includes follow up with Zag and Jessica(the couple from book one). We also get to see other characters we met in book one as well as a ton of new ones. I love how this series is growing and it just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see who book three is about. If you haven't read book one you can easily read book two without being confused, or lost. Yes if you read book one first you will get more back story but you can just as easily skip right to this book.

I didn't really have any problems with this book, there were two small things that bugged me but they didn't take me out of the story and they weren't anything that made me want to stop reading. The first was that the author used letters to describe things which was strange, and maybe that was just in the ARC copy. I know that many times things change from ARC copy to final copy. But I am talking about A for an*al, and kind of small (view spoiler) again not big just weird and maybe not even in the final copy. My other issue which some may say I am picking about, and yes this is total preference but (view spoiler) like I said I'm sure many will think I'm being too picky and I'm ok with that.

I really liked this one, as I said above I liked book one but I liked this one even more. I will definitely be reading book three, not only because I am liking this world and all the characters but I am really enjoying the authors writing and voice in this series. I highly recommend this book, and book one for any MC lover or romance lover.

Big bad biker and little librarian, it doesn’t get any better than this. This is what my kryptonite looks and tastes like. I loved it almost as much as the first book. Strong alpha hero, motorcycle club, sexy times, more of the secondary characters from book one and an eight year old. I may have found a new favorite author.

No real issue with the writing, just overall pretty meh with a side of yawn and a sprinkle of cheese. It looks like I'm in the minority here but I just didn't like it.

This was not as good as the first book of the series. I didn't really like Reb and Emily well I just don't know what to say.

I just didn't feel the chemistry between them. There was no spark. They kinda felt forced instead of destined for each other. Emily would go on and on about him being controlling and harsh, but just fall back into bed with him without even a blink of an eye. Why even go there then?

There is lots of sex, but again I didn't connect with the main characters so it wasn't so hot ...more

Review - (un)Conventional Bookviews

Rebellious is the second of the True Brothers MC series, and I actually have an ARC of Ruthless as well, but somehow, I read this first. I enjoyed myself, so I don't think there will be any trouble for me by not reading these in order. It's funny to me that in my books, I don't mind a man who takes charge, and maybe even acts a little bit controlling, because in real life, that just wouldn't fly. Reb is the president of the MC club, and Emily is the sweet, innocent school librarian who works at B&N during the school holiday. Emily's next-door-neighbour is Reb's ex and their 8-year-old son, Tucker. Who is very often left to his own devices, with our without a key.

The story in Rebellious is very fast-paced, and there is more going on than the incredibly steamy scenes between Reb and Emily. Tucker needed saving, and Emily was the one to bring him to his dad's place, which just so happened to be the Club, where her best friend's fiancé was a member. Now, I have no idea if real MC clubs treat their 'old ladies' or the female groupies the way they are treated in books, but the True Brothers MC guys seemed to be on par if I compare with other MC stories I have read. Quite sexist, and always in control, with a sliver of tenderness to keep the ladies wanting more - it's simply irresistible in a romantic suspense.

Between someone stalking Emily, and a rival club vandalizing Reb's house, there is more than enough suspense in Rebellious. And there is also enough substance to the story, with character development that made sense, and some real problems that had to be dealt with for Reb and Emily to truly trust each other and try to make the future a brighter place both for themselves and for Tucker. Written in first person past tense in Emily's chapters, and third person past tense from Reb's perspective, I loved both the narration and the spicy dialogues.

Reb's gorgeous blue eyes were impossible to ignore this close to my face. "We're gonna have a little talk later tonight about those roving hands."
I winced and could feel the flush spreading over my face. "Or we could skip it and just say we did."
Reb slowly shook his head.
"Okay." I bit my lip and stood despite his hands trying to pin me down.

But still I continued down the hall toward the happy noises coming from the kitchen. Where I found REb leaning against the cabinets on the far side of the room. He straightened up slightly when he saw me, his eyes flaring with something hot. ...more

I think that there might be something seriously wrong with me. I'm trying to figure out why I'm in love with these True Brothers so much considering that don't exactly "follow the rules" of the law. I mean, I'm down for bad boys, but they take it just a step further than my normal comfort zone. But I love them. I do. I have actually set a small space in the corner of my heart for each of these Brothers, faults and all.

In the first installment of True Brothers, we fell in love with Zeb and Jessica. In this second installment, we get to witness Reb fall in love all over again. But this time, it's with Emily, Jessica's BFF. When I first read about Reb in the first book, I actually pictured him a little older than he is. Although in his forties, I originally saw the president of the MC's more along the lines of fifties considering he was coming out of a twenty year marriage and had a young son. So I was very pleased to read that he was younger than originally thought because the thought of Reb with a young Emily wasn't gonna happen for me. LOL. I digress...

Emily lives in the same apartment complex as Rhonda, Reb's ex-wife (you know, the crazy one from the first book-still cray cray BTW). When Emily comes home to find Tucker, Reb's son sitting in front of her door for the umpteenth time, she'd had enough and drove Tucker to his father. Little did she know that Tucker's father was Reb. But when she pulls up to the clubhouse, she quickly realized what she was dealing with. Or so she thought.

Reb can't believe what's happening. Rhonda's not only crazy, but she's not even taking care of his son. So now Reb's got to find a way to speed up the custody battle to get his son quicker than the courts are allowing. But it looks like his son's savior might have a situation of her own. Looks like Emily has a stalker and Reb's not having any of that. Especially now that he's got his eye on her and isn't about to let her walk away unprotected, or at all for that matter.

This installment has a few twists and turns that even surprised me. The sex scenes between Reb and Emily are intense and extremely hot. We totally get our HEA, but it comes after some serious drama. Like, clutching the eReader and swiping the pages every ten seconds to find out what happens, drama. And every second is worth it. There's got to be another one though. There are too many Brothers that I've grown to love to NOT get their own story. Besides....Jessica and Emily's other BFF needs her HEA too, right?

This is the second book in this series. I was lucky to read the first book, Ruthless (True Brothers MC #1). I thoroughly enjoyed that book and looked forward to reading more of the True Brothers MC. Rebellious was at least 4.5 stars for me. This book takes place prior to the epilogue of the first book. With that said, it is a standalone and can be read independently. I don't suggest that because the H, Reb, is introduced in Ruthless and I absolutely fell Re-read. Just as good second time around.

I don't suggest that because the H, Reb, is introduced in Ruthless and I absolutely fell in love with him in that book. So I was very happy to get his story. Emily is also a secondary character in Ruthless.

Reb is the president of the True Brothers. He's older, has a young son and a vengeful ex-wife. Yes, she's the type of mother who puts her own fun time before the care of her kid. She's also the type of mother who uses a child to get back at her ex-husband. Now if you give me a single Dad, who loves his child more than anything and is willing to put that child first, then I'm a happy camper. I love romances where there's a child involved and the father has a good, loving relationship with that child.

Emily has met Reb in passing but there's never been a connection until Reb's ex moves into Emily's apartment complex. Emily befriends the little boy due to the many occasions he's locked out of the apartment. One Friday night she finds the child outside and the mother is gone for the weekend. Emily, who was raised in foster care, is afraid she'll have to call DFCS but eventually loads the kid up and takes him to the True Brothers clubhouse to find his Dad. I had to love Emily's persistence that she was not leaving the child in an unsafe environment.

That meeting at the clubhouse puts us on a fast train where passion results in a lot of really hot and sweet love scenes. There's also the conflict Reb has because Emily is much younger than him. Emily doesn't think she can adapt to the club life. This author writes Reb and Emily's story in such a way that it made me feel their emotions and made me cheer them on. Yes, Reb is a total alpha, possessive male who is pushy and controlling. Emily puts up the right amount of resistance and doesn't let him push her too far. She does concede a certain amount, because in truth, she loves that side of him.

This was a great read and I'm very much looking forward to the next in the series.

Emily Clark has a soft spot for children especially those neglected, due to her own tumultuous childhood and finding her neighbor's son apparently left to his own devices is enough to ignite her ire and fuel her match into the lion's lair, in this case the clubhouse of the True Brother's MC. Turns out her young neighbor's father is the President of the MC and someone she already knows.

Reb has had his eye on Emily since one of her best friends became involved with a club member and he knows he's not in the place to purse anything with her, caught up in a messy divorce and custody battle with his ex, but one thing Reb has never done is deny himself anything.

Reb's rough lifestyle is not one that Emily imagines she can fit into with her own history, but the attraction between them, the fact that Reb is a genuinely nice and caring man and her affection for his son are all the reasons she needs to explore what's between them. With his crazy ex breathing down, their necks and trouble brewing between the True Brothers and a rival MC, can Emily and Reb find a happy ending in the midst of these issues?

Reb and Emily were very good for each other. Reb exposed a wild streak in Emily and she brought a sweetness to his life that he'd never had. I loved this story because it showed a gentle, caring and kind side to a man who is certainly not the poster child for a genteel lifestyle. His close relationship with his son was also something to love.

I'll say this again: I love this series because the author chose to emphasize the community within the MC and their friendships, instead of serving up more of the dark stuff we usually get from MC stories.

After talking with Tucker she finds out that his mom has left him again and the other neighbors that he usually goes to has left for the weekend. Being that really good and loving person that Emily is she takes him home with her feeds him pizza and tries to contact his dad seeing his mom is nowhere to be found. Who knew that his dad is not only a biker with the True Brothers MC but he is the Prez of the club? Emily’s friend, Jessica, happens to be living with and getting married to one of the bikers from this club as well so Emily figures that Jessica would have an address of where Tucker’s dad, Reb, could be found. A little scary pulling you crap car up in front of a biker compound but Emily is determined to find Tucker’s dad and make sure that Tuck is taken care of. Even though some of the bikers try to intimidate her she will go toe to toe with anyone just to make sure that Tucker is taken care of.
What does a big ass biker who is the Prez to the True Brothers MC do when confronted with the sweet innocent and oh, so sexy little librarian who just happens to be taking care of his son? Oh, my, this is where things heat up between Reb and Emily because they both feel this pull and you know what they say about opposites attracting. Emily comes with a little baggage though and that is that she was brought up in the system and when she did finally get out she found a low life boyfriend who liked not only liked to beat her but ended up stalking her after she left him. So is Emily going to be able to handle any type of relationship with a biker who has two sides; one being the loving father that she has seen with Tucker and the other being the big, demanding, volatile biker that the president of a motorcycle club has to be? Reb keeps telling Emily she has nothing to be afraid of concerning him ever doing harm to her but she has lived in fear most of her life and has panic attacks occasionally from everything she has been through.

Is Reb going to be able to push the system and get to have custody of Tucker since his mother could care less about him or is living the biker life going to stop that from happening? How far is Emily willing to go to take a chance on something that feels so right to her? Being the Prez’s Old Lady also puts her in the crosshairs of the rival club so if she does agree to try this relationship with Reb what kind of dangers are in store for her? Is Reb going to be able to keep Emily safe from everything in and out of the club life? This is another good installment of Ms. Archer’s biker series that has me waiting for the next book to come out. These books let you see how the bad boys can be good and the good girls can be bad.

Rebellious is the second book in the True Brothers MC series, but can totally be read as a stand-alone. Told from dual points of view, Rebellious follows the story of Reb and Emily. Emily’s life has never been easy. She’s worked hard for everything that she has and wants nothing more to be independent. The last thing she planned for was Reb. This unlikely pair cross paths when Emily finds Reb’s son left home alone. From the moment these two meet, sparks fly and the connection is instant. Emily isn’t looking for love when she meets Reb, but their chemistry can’t be denied…..As Prez of the True Brothers MC, Reb’s life revolves around his club. The only thing more important than his club is his son. When Emily blows into his life, she turns his whole world upside down…..

Overall, I thought this book was an ok read. It was a pretty quick read for me and kept me entertained. I liked Emily right away. I loved knowing that she came from a complicated past and I loved her vulnerability. She was a lot tougher than I think most would give her credit for and I loved the way she cared about those close to her. Reb was everything that I was looking for in a badass biker. He was tough, alpha and wasn’t afraid to go after what he wanted. Even though Reb and Emily’s story was a case of insta-love, I think it worked pretty well for them. I thought they had good chemistry and I liked the pull they had for one another.

Like I said, Rebellious was a fun and entertaining read. It had plenty of drama, action and lots of sexy good times. There were a few little bumps here and there with the writing, but I never once wanted to put it down. It kept my interest the entire time, and the twists and turns kept me on my toes. I think this series has a ton of good potential and I would definitely be open to checking out more from this author in the future.

I loved Reb and I loved how he was this tough biker, but he was also a single father who didn't even know if he's son was his. But he didn't care and fought for him in his divorce from his horrible wife
Emily is still recovering from her last relationship that didn't go so well, so she was not in a good space. But she was trying to move on with her l ...more

This was a quick and exciting read. A lot happened without the book feeling weighed down and too long. I loved Reb! I also really liked the sassy attitude from Emily, but not so much the cowering. Although I understood the need for it, it just didn't sit well with me. It was great to see the events unfold from each of the main character's viewpoints. The supporting cast was very entertaining. I hope Nicole ends up with one of the bikers. That would be a riot!!!! All in all this was a well-writte ...more

After being introduced to them in the first book, this couple made me want their story. There is lust, a strong connection, friendship, exes, a stalker, and blood in this story. Add in some steamy sex scenes and it was a good read.This book is about two people with similar pasts, who find each other because of a little boy, and fall in love with one another. They have some large obstacles to fight in order to get their happy ending, but they eventually do get it. Their love for one another is st ...more

I LOVED this book! I thought it was awesome from the get go! I really liked that Emily stood up to Reb regarding his son even though she was scared of being in the MC compound and that Reb was an intimidating man, being the president of the True Brothers MC.

3.5

The storyline wasn't always feasible, but the sex was pretty hot. I don't think you can find a more alpha male than the president of a motorcycle club. This was a pretty good read, and I am already planning on recommending this to some that I know enjoy the genre.

Emily gets a shock where Reb is concerned, “I might need a little more foreplay before we— holy hell! Are you pierced?” I stared in disbelief at the glint of metal coming from the head of his p***s." Reb sometimes just has to shut down his woman's ideas, "Reb glared at Emily. “No effing way are you naming my ***k. And definitely not some lame-*** name like Albert. If anything it should be something dangerous.” I really loved this book, and I can't wait to see whose next in this series.

I liked this book a little more than the first one. This one shows more of the MC life. Opposites attract in this 2nd installment of the series. Reb is the Prez of the True Brothers MC. He is hard, ruthless and unapologetic. Emily is the shy librarian that still feels the effects of an abusive relationship from years ago. Reb scares her yet at the same time she feels safe with him. She is cautious and so is he. He is getting out of a toxic relationship and is not looking ...more

Rebellious is the first book I have read by author Gillian Archer. I didn't realize it was the second book in the True Brothers MC series. I realized it when I got a bit into the story. Usually I am a stickler about reading books in series order. I can honestly say that Rebellious can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order. Readers will enjoy it either way.

While I absolutely loved the first book in this series, I didn't have the same reaction to this book. Don't get me wrong, the book was still really good and I would recommend it to anyone who likes MC books in a heartbeat; it just didn't have that wow factor that the first book had.

I'm not a fan of "insta-love" which I found this book had too much of. While the first book moved very quickly, I thought there was enough written to really bring the couple together. This book didn't have that same ...more

This is the second book in this series by Gillian Archer. I read the first book and it was quite good. This book, too, really kept my attention. Even though this is a biker book, Ms.Archer can make a bunch of hard core bikers look good. They don't always do good things, and she shows that too, but somehow her characters always have redeeming qualities, and we get a good romance. This book is about the President of the club, and a quiet unassuming young woman who has been hurt before. The romance ...more

Oooh I really liked this book. I'll admit that I DO like motorcycle romances so it might have been a little easier for me to like this. Rebellious is book 2 in the True Brothers motorcycle romance series. I liked Book 1 but I think one might have been even better.

I thought Emily was a great heroine and a wonderful way to get a peek into the motorcycle world. She's not a judgy person by any means but she still shies away from the more dangerous Review copy courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley.

Oooh I really liked this book. I'll admit that I DO like motorcycle romances so it might have been a little easier for me to like this. Rebellious is book 2 in the True Brothers motorcycle romance series. I liked Book 1 but I think one might have been even better.

I thought Emily was a great heroine and a wonderful way to get a peek into the motorcycle world. She's not a judgy person by any means but she still shies away from the more dangerous things in life. Like many MC romance heroines, she has a bit of a sad past but she's moved on and is dong her best to take care of herself. I liked how independent she was and her immediate discomfort with being bossed around by a manly biker guy. She's a school librarian but since it's summertime, she's got a part time gig working at a book store. I thought the juxtaposition of her being such a good girl while dating a bad-boy biker was totally hilarious.

Reb was straight up awesome. He's the president of the True Brothers motorcycle club and he's a total bad ass. I loved him. Like all MC romance heroes, Reb has a hard exterior that hides his sweet and squishy middle. This time, it's a little easier to get to Reb's sweet side because he has a son. As per the usual, Reb's ex is a real piece of work who is an awful person. But he can't hate her because she gave him his son. Blah blah blah. Some of the situations Reb is in and his reactions to those situations were predictable but I still thoroughly enjoyed them.

The progression of the relationship between Reb and Emily felt quick but I don't think it was. Emily liked him but didn't want to trust him...and why would she? But it was fun to watch her work through her issues with him. I guess it was fun because Reb deserved her trust. He's a good guy, even if he's doing bad guy things. I loved how Reb and Emily and Reb's son all got along. He was a cute kid and I loved the scenes he was in with Reb and/or Emily!

I loved this book. Sure, there were parts of the book that were really predictable. For example, the identity of Emily's stalker was totally obvious but Reb kept thinking it was someone else. For me, that was a minor issue though. Reb and Emily were great together and this was a really fun book to read. There was plenty of action and humor and the Sexy Time was hot and plentiful. This would be a great book for fans of motorcycle romances who don't really love storylines that are heavy on club business. It would be okay to start the series here but I think readers will like this book enough to go back and get the first book in the series!

So Rebellious Even better than the first installment (Ruthless) of the True Brothers MC series. In this installment the reader has the opportunity to read the tale of Emily and Reb and man this was an entertaining read. In Rebellious is like the author knocked on my door and asked what I would like to see in a story and I must say that Ms. Archer delivered.

The good girl Emily mixes it up nicely with our hero (Reb the MC president). These two were a good pairing and it was good to see Emily come ...more

Though this second installment of the True Brothers MC series isn’t as dark and gritty as the first book, I absolutely adored Emily and Reb. Theirs is a much softer, sweeter romance, but steeped in tension to keep me flipping the pages.

I really enjoyed this one! Fantastic writing and story. Reb and Emily are great characters and I adored Tucker. Rhonda not so much. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star read for me was the lightning speed the relationship between Reb and Emily formed. One minute she's berating him for being an uncaring father (and yeah talking to an MC Pres like that ... hmmm) the next she's at his house and bam! The pairing is intriguing though. Big bad biker pres and the sweet local librarian. I l ...more
