Pierce "Fury" Duhart is an outlaw by nature, born and bred to ride with the Notorious Devils.

I'm thinking this is one of those it's not you, it's me books because .... what the hell did I just read?

Take one chicken shit zero (he ain't no bloody hero that's for sure), add a TSTL doormat, miscommunication, pregnancy, push and pull and so much unnecessary skank action that I needed to superglue my eyeballs in place to stop the eye rolling after bleaching them, so much OTT drama it was ridiculous and I got a not so good read.

I'm thinking I'm being overly generous with 2 stars

DNF @ 16%

I really could not finish this. I have zero tolerance for Heroes who don't respect women. I'm okay with Heroes calling the heroine with vulgar names during sex scenes if they're both into it, but I'm not okay with Heroes calling heroines vulgar names for "overreacting."
"You fucked me with no protection, and then you expected me to compromise my morals, because you fucked up? Get out of my house," I say, a bit firmer.
"Crazy bitch," he bites out, sliding his jeans up his hips.
"I'm not the one fucking girls with no protection, asshole," I grind out as I stand and walk over to this stupid vest thing.

"Should have stayed with the club whores instead of trying to deal with a civillian princess cunt," he grumbles.

"You're a crazy fuckin' bitch, you know that?" he mutters, his eyes focused on mine.


No thanks.

So I started reading this even though some of the reviews mentioned stuff that I usually don't want to read in a book. But I am having trouble finding books I really want to read so I figured I would step outside my comfort zone. I have no one to blame but myself for the wasted time I spent on this book. I dnf @ around 30% I just couldn't do it. So my problem with this is hero continues to get bj's from club whore after sleeping with heroine, I could have gotten past it because heroine did kick him out with no plans to ever see him again. However she gets knocked up and goes to tell him of course when she sees him he is about to get blown by club whore, he kicks ho away and they go to his office and she freaking has sex with him. Then some trouble comes he tells her to stay locked in office he will come back for her, hours later she wakes up to him saying damn I forgot you the woman having my baby was in here. So that's it for me, I can't stand a heroine who knows she being treated wrong but none of it matter because the hero looks, kisses, touches or plain tells her to forget it.

“Katie Powell was just about to service your cock when I walked in. No way am I letting you anywhere near me.”


"Kentlee isn’t Old Lady material; not that’d I’d ever have one. She’s not strong enough."


“Yeah, I get you, Fury,” she says, her voice quivering. “Good. Now take off your shorts and get on this bar. I want to watch you make yourself come. Finish the goddamned show, Kitty,” I say with a grunt." (club whore)


Não me impressionou.
Tem os elementos comuns à todos livros sobre motoqueiros. Sexo sem proteção, guerra com clubes rivais, vadias do clube causando problemas, cenas de sexo com outra mulher, cenas em clube de strip tease, herói não querendo uma old lady nem compromisso, heroína que aceita tudo quanto merda que o herói faz, gravidez inesperada.
Adorei a cena (minha cena favorita).
O resto é tudo muito igual, não teve nada que se destacou na escrita da autora.

Not impressed me.
Has the elements common to all books about bikers. Unprotected sex, war with rival clubs, Club whore causing trouble, scenes of sex with another woman, strip club scenes, hero not wanting an old lady or commitment, heroin that accepts all that shit that the hero does, unexpected pregnancy.
I loved the scene (my favorite scene).
The rest is all much the same, had nothing that stood out in the writing of the author.

Five Steamy-Sexy Biker Stars

Kentlee and Fury cross paths one day by chance. And right then Fury decides that the goody girl with a rocking body must be his. Kentlee comes from a good family and usually wouldn't think twice about some one like Fury, the President of the local MC, the Notorious Devils. Only problem is, she can't resist him. One night of hot steamy sexy with a dirty talking biker leads to trouble for Kentlee. Kentlee spends the next 3 years alone struggling to keep her head above the water while Fury is paying for his mistakes. When he comes back he doesn't think that he deserves Kentlee's forgiveness, but she does.

Fabulous sexy love story. This book if full of hot sex scenes and dirty talking bikers. Fury will leave you drooling and your panties wet *wink wink*. The story is from different POV so you get all sides of the story. Most of the side line characters were really good - Sniper was my fav, and it looks like he is getting his own book, Yay!

I could of done without Kentlee's horrible family though. They are just awful, leaving her alone in her biggest time of need, some parents they are. Brentlee, her sister, isn't to bad, although she did disown Kentlee like the rest of them. Hopefully she will make up for it in the next book.

If you enjoy biker books, you will love this one!

Truly not sure how I managed to finish this book.

Every aspect of this was over the top and not in a sexy alpha way. The H was a jerk who wasn't even man enough to claim his woman until the end really and even then he was a pansy about it. Also he may not have cheated but asking a club whore to put on a show for him after leaving his woman is just low and not my thing. Again did I mention he was a jerk. He tried to justify his actions but honestly he just looked weak.

Oh and don't get me started on a weak h. The chick was a doormat who let this guy sweet talk his way into her pants and let him walk all over her all because she loves him? I'm sorry have more self respect then that!

The story itself was so unbelievable that I couldn't even deal with it.

I have no clue why this book has high ratings

Waste of time

H. F. Writes incredibly weak heroines. I've only read one other book by her, "Unscrew Me", and wanted to compare. She writes the heroine as "forgiving" and therefore by forgiving, she's strong. It takes an incredibly talented author to pull that off and Ms. Faiman doesn't do it. This is a quote from this book, Rough and Rowdy, and I believe it sums up her heroines perfectly.

“I’ve been sad, depressed, fucking angry, and disappointed over the past three years. But you own me. You own my heart. I’m yours, always. I’ll always forgive you, but don’t ever leave me like that again.” Also this quote made me giggle " I’ve de-maned him." 3 guesses as to what she meant, lol.

Nope, she's just a sucker. This will be my last HF book.

4 and a half 🏍 stars.

Loved both these characters Kentlee is such a strong heroine. I absolutely LOVED her. And Fury him and his man bun had me swooning!! Great story I love MC stories my only thing I hate is how degrading the men can be to women sometimes. I just will never understand it. But no matter if you read it or watch them on TV they are the same. This book reminded me so much of a SOA season. Loved it Fury reminded me a lot of Jax after his 3 year stint the only difference was Jax never wore a man bun and this story made me wish he had!! Can’t wait to see what is to come great start to this series!!

I read this one after reading the 3rd one. I liked the 3rd one more.

This felt very insta love/lust.

Hero is in jail for 3 – 4 years and heroine is pregnant with his kid but he hadn’t claimed heroine as his Old Lady, therefore, the club won’t help her much. She is employed by them as a waitress at their strip club and Sniper, a club member, does help her because he knows her from when they were in high school and he dated her sister.

Anyways, it did annoy me that Sniper and heroine kiss to see if they have feelings for each other, they both realize after the kiss that they felt nothing; however, it annoyed me that the kiss is never mentioned to the Hero. Hero is pissed that another man has been staying at his house with his woman and child and heroine says nothing ever happened between them, even though something did. I know it’s a minor detail but it bugged me.

Also, who names their kid Bear?

Good Start to the series. This book focuses on Fury (Pierce) , President of the Notorious Devil's MC and Kentlee a sweet girl with no experience of the MC life.
In the first half I wasn't that keen on Fury....he seemed to be a bit of an ass with the odd glimmer of good hero attributes. In the second half of the book he steps up and is much more likeable. I really liked Kent, she is a tough little cookie under the sweet exterior.
Will definitely be reading Bates' (Sniper) story next.
Lots of swearing, sex, violence , club whores and alpha badass bikers in this book. I'm looking forward to more about the Devils.
HEA? Yes
Cheating? No [I worried Fury was going to for a minute but he doesn't]

Wow this sucked so bad if I could give it 0 stars I would. There’s absolutely nothing to recommend in this “story”. The writing style is a wannabe Kristen Ashley and just so stilted. The zeroine is TSTL, the zero is an absolute zero. Now you wonder why I finished the book, it’s coz I kept hoping that something would redeem it. However, this book was just horrible from start to finish. Run far away and I will never read this author’s books again.

2.5 maybe a 3 at a stretch. Okay, really quite difficult to rate this one... while it sucked me in and I read to the end, it wasn't a really satisfying read in the end. Lackluster HEA might be the best description.

Spoilers may follow!!!!

The reason I was sucked in was that I was expecting and hoping for a massive, epic grovel... because, let's face it, the hero was a massive, huge, ENORMOUS, wimpy COWARD. One of the most cowardly and selfish heroes I think I've ever read. I'm glad we got his point of view, so we know how bad he felt about being such a wimp and the fact that he KNEW he was doing the wrong thing, not least because the heroine didn't really get that (she got the 1.5 second, after 3 years, "oops, sorry, I'm here now, lets forget it ever happened" crap), and so without it we readers would never have known. But that just proves how not only cowardly, but selfish, he was being. It was all about how he didn't want to see her and have her make him face how cowardly, wrong and selfish his behavior was.

I get that while it was insta-love from her pov, it might have only been insta-lust from his, so I can maybe see why abandoning the relationship after only a month or so might be excusable to him in his own mind - but in this case there was also a child involved. His own child. You don't abandon a child the way he did, especially after the promises made and the fact that he knew what her circumstances were (no family support, no club support, no help from him, and precarious job/money situation, etc). But then, as he realised it was more than lust, it was actually love, he should have stepped up. You don't treat someone you love that way, leave them dealing with those circumstances. Then to top it off, she did the doormat-insta-cave. God I HATE that. Have some self-respect woman! After what he put her through, she was owed - and he should have had to show - some atonement, some effort, some regrets for what he did.

I also get that she just wanted him back, she loved him, and after struggling pretty much alone for so long, she wanted him and his support, but he should have had to WORK to get her back, and he should have offered her support with no expectations as part of that. He should have had to prove to her, and us readers, that in future, in difficult circumstances, he won't take the easy way out and just bail AGAIN. I mean, his abandonment, not only of her, but of his CHILD, could have had pretty dire consequences. If it hadn't been for the bestie and his sister stepping up, it definitely would have. Have to say, I loved the bestie and his sister, and want books for them. Pretty sure guy-bestie is definitely on the horizon, I just hope that he's not gonna do an about-face and be another douchy hero when he gets to star in his own story.

Back to the current book. I loved seeing the heroine discover her own strengths and capabilities. But then again, she had no choice. She couldn't bail the way the hero did. She had to step up. Which just made it doubly disappointing when the "hero" returned and she caved instantly. So yeah, a yellow-bellied, lily-livered, coward of a hero who can't prove he's there for the tough stuff, and a heroine willing to except crumbs and shitty treatment all in the name of love. Luckily for the author, I liked the main supporting characters enough that I'll give her another chance and read the next in the series.

“What we had for that short amount of time, that was my dream come true….. I want it all. I want my little dream. A family with a hard man, a rough man, a fing rowdy man.”

5 fury stars!!! This has got to be one my all time favorite MC books!

Kentlee has never been a fly by the seat of her pants kind of girl. She lives her live on the straight and narrow. So when she meets Pierce, or Fury if you will, by accident; the bad boy biker from the Notorious Devils MC, her whole world is flipped upside down. She wants nothing to do with the bad boy, but when Fury sees her, he knows she’s everything he’s ever wanted. She finally gives in to temptation, but is one night enough??

Whoa, this book…...where do I even begin? I was hooked as soon as I started reading and I didn’t want to put it down. The minute Fury stepped in, I was like a little girl crushing over a boy. He’s perfect! Can’t wait to read more from this series!

Rough and Rowdy – A Notorious Devils Novel
4 stars
Hayley Faiman

Kentlee Johnson is exhausted with her mother’s whims of her girls marrying a wealthy man. She is playing the good sister all while feeling sorry for her little sister Brentlee. Only nineteen years old and the girl is getting married to the creepiest guy she has ever met. Scotty is a douche bag and makes her gag with his too perfect hair, manners and his soon to be attorney status. Its not his looks or his accomplishments its that he stares too long, lingers too long and is always putting her sister down along with the fact that he is nine years older than her. GROSS! Her sister though has morphed into someone she doesn’t know. She is popular … Kentlee is a loner. Fleeing the boutique and the cackling ladies is all she can think of….. finally when she escapes … BOOM … Pierce Fury Duhart is an encounter she didn’t expect. That encounter .. wears a Nortorious Devil’s cut.

Pierce Fury Duhart sees one of the sexiest “good” girls he has ever seen coming out of the shop. Decked head to toe in a secretary type outfit he has got to see what is underneath. Taking a chance he invites the self proclaimed angel to the clubhouse. Walking away laying the ball in her court mentioning his name at the door will get her to him safe and sound. Fury knows she will be his .. she just doesn’t know it yet or at least she is pretending to not know.

Holy wow .. what a great story. There isn’t a lot of drama of suspense in this one but it’s a tale as old as time … beauty meets the beast and I love it. There are some fantastic secondary characters. I love the fact that Kentlee comes into herself as well as knowing what she wants and doesnt want standing up to her parents. This isn’t your normal MC read where there are guns blazing and people shooting each other up and let me tell you it was still something Im putting on my shelf as a “read again.”

Book two comes out this summer giving us Brentlee’s story and Im afraid for the girl. Rough and Raw is going to be a story of stories. I hope we get more of Fury and Kentlee so we can see where they are as well in that release.

Thank you Hayley for the ARC! This one is a keeper. Love the story line and love the characters. Click this one up friends!

No. Nuh-uh. The story was a good one, if I'm being honest. The characters? God, I don't like them. I couldn't understand that girl. She doesn't stand up for herself. We're told she does, but her actions never line up to that. The guy talks about this connection, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't figure out what they like about each other. I didn't feel their connection. This book frustrated me. I had to force myself to finish.

HOLY HELL HAYLEY FAIMAN! WHY OH WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO KILL ME?! Don't you know how much I love you?! Your #EVILWHORE is reaching new levels of torture. Kentlee Johnson is a sweet, good girl, with simple dreams. Pierce "Fury" Duhart is the president of the Notorious Devils MC. A change meeting face to face has sparks flying, and while Kentlee knows it would be a very bad idea to get involved with the MC, Fury has decided he will have her. Kentlee steps out of her comfort zone, and decides to surrender to Fury's advances for one night, but afterwards, will she be able to go back to her simple life?

This author never fails to flip my girly girl dramatics on, but I'll never get enough of her books. I freakin' LOVED LOVED LOVED this story, although my heart was ripped out, set on fire, stomped to pieces getting said fire out, before finally shoving it back in stitched up. The character development is fantastic, with a colorful cast of secondaries that need their own stories ASAP. An exciting, gut wrenching, intense, and extremely well written storyline flows effortlessly. Flammable chemistry ignites FIERY FLAMES of sexy scene goodness, and OMG moments coming from all directions that kept me on the edge of my seat. Hayley Faiman's brilliant, and yet diabolical, writing style grabbed me, held me hostage in one place, all the while keeping my heart racing cover to cover. I was transported into the story, and physically felt the palpable pain of Kentlee like it was my own. Although I have absolutely LOVED every book of hers, her talent was showcased at new high levels in this story, and I'm convinced that I would rate her to-do list 5 stars at this point. I will stop the fan girl gushing, and end with this, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rough and Rowdy to all!

This was quite the angsty MC read! It had a set-in-his-ways alpha male, a sweet heroine, OW drama, swoony "family" moments & plenty of sexy times.

I liked Kentlee & Fury together. I only wish they had more time together, before he was put away for so long.

Kentlee... This girl has been through the wringer. Crap family, d*ckhead for a baby daddy, b*tches who hate her for no reason, getting her a** smacked while she waitressed at a strip club... Thank gods she had Sniper, Mary-Anne & the lady down the street to help her out! I love how strong & caring she was but I wish she had a backbone made of steel when it came to Fury. She melted for him at EVERY turn, no matter what he did. *sigh* I mean, I'm happy they got together but it was hard to witness her embarrassment & sadness throughout the story.

Fury... Well, he's definitely not the brightest MC President I've ever read about. His refusal to man-up time & time again, even after multiple people told him to, was incredibly frustrating. Yes, he knew Sniper would help out but c'mon... He knew her family was full of a**holes (so no support there), that they just bought a house (& she wasn't exactly making bank on her own), that the club wouldn't help (unless he claimed her) & that she was pregnant with his kid. Why in the hell wouldn't you make her your Old Lady, dude?! #idjit On the upside... LOVED how he "took care of" Kitty but wish he would've walked away from that cesspool a helluva a lot sooner than he did. How dare he be with her & then soon after, NOT use protection with Kentlee!

Looking forward to the next book in this series, Rough and Raw. I have no idea how it'll happen but I'm excited to see Brentlee & Sniper's second chance at romance!

Side Note: Brentlee & her siblings' names made me roll my eyes. Wish they didn't all sound the same because it was annoying.

The only reason I even started reading this book was the mention of the Notorious Devils MC in the Russian Bratva series.
This book was a mess. The h has zero spine and was so pathetic that I had to take several breaks from reading. The H was a massive a-hole. Here are the all the times he treated her horribly and she let go:
1) refused to acknowledge her or give her his protection.
2) refused to call her or have any other forms of communication with her when he was in jail.
3) forgot about her for hours after putting her in his office.
4) as soon as he got free he started dictating to her and pushing her around.
5) shamed her for working where she did and slut shamed her (such a hypocrite)
6) didn’t take care of her financially while he was away and she had his child.

After all this (suffering and being a single mother for 3 years- you would think she would have gained some self respect) she forgives him for everything. Like not even a token protest. All because she just can’t help herself and is so in lust with him.
All in all a disappointing and frustrating read.

I love a good hot MC book but this one had the addition of a sweet little frustrating love story. I really enjoyed it!
A story showing time, distance, circumstance or a stupid pig headed man can't stop love. Kentlee and Peirce certainly didn't have a perfect or traditional start to their relationship and it definitely wasn't a smooth ride. But in the end love just exists you can fight it and deny it but it doesn't go away.
I am really excited to see this is a series because I am really wanting the sisters story.

This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it.

What more can you ask for in an MC book? Fury is the hot older MC President and Kentlee a sweet, innocent, girl. They have a one night stand that ends up with her pregnant. She family disowns her, Fury ends up in jail! Clue wars! Everything is just amazing!

I almost didn't read this because of the heroine's absolutely ridiculous name. Regardless, I enjoyed it very much and it had loads of drama and over the top alpha insanity/dirty talking. I'll be picking up #2 despite the fact the heroine in that one has an equally hilarious name. :)
