Their lives just got complicated, but neither of them are the type to travel the easy road.
Book Two of the Bash trilogy…
Will Bud want to tear Bash to pieces? How is Dawg going to fit into all of this? Will the Disciples retaliate? And now that the District Attorney is in Angelica’s life, can she get him out?
Bash may have claimed her in both wolf and human form, but Angelica isn't likely to just roll over and show him her belly every time he gives her an order. One night of incredible sex doesn’t mean the relationship will be smooth sailing. They both want it to work, though, and they’re both used to getting what they want.
Warning: A touch more BDSM, tons of raw kink, blazing hot sex, danger, intrigue, and there might even be a sexy ménage.
This is volume two of a three book story. Beware of the cliffhanger at the end, but book three will release a mere two weeks after book two.
Candace Blevins writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, epic fantasy contemporary BDSM romance, and two kick-ass motorcycle club series. She’s published more than fifty books. Candace lives with her husband of twenty-four years and their two teenaged daughters. The family’s beloved, goofy, retired racing greyhounds are usually at her side as she writes, quietly keeping her company. Or sometimes not so quietly.
Her urban fantasy series, Only Human, gives us a world where weredragons, werewolves, werelions, three different species of vampires, and a variety of other mythological beings exist.
Candace's various paranormal romance series are all sister series to the Only Human series, and give some secondary characters their happily ever after.
Her Dark(ish) Faerie Tale series gives us a close-up and personal look at Queen Mab, and her Dark Underbelly series is, as you’d expect, dark and (if you’re a little twisted) oh-so-yummy.
Her contemporary Safeword series gives us characters who happen to have some extreme kinks. Relationships can be difficult enough without throwing power exchange into the mix, and her books show characters who care enough about each other to fight to make the relationship work. Each couple in the Safeword series gives the reader a different take on the lifestyle.

Well, well, well.. Candace Blevins surely gives us all a run for our money. She really heats up this volume. We have a ménage, a stalker, and a raging father and MC Prez, who is out for blood. Tense, sexy, exhilarating and scary as f**k. Ohh lawdyyy is all I can say.
Bash and Angel have started their relationship. Everyone is on edge. From the Prez, to the club. Claiming Angelica as his own wasn't an easy feat, keeping it that way is even harder than they both considered.
Neither Bash nor Angelica shies away from their true essence. Both are hard core tough asses. Stubborn and difficult, yet so very in sync at times. Such a conundrum for me. The sexual aspect of the story is amped up. Bash and Angelica engage in a ménage. Which creates certain tension with Dawg. He doesn't know where he will fit in. The layers of conflict only adds to the intensity of the story and the already surrounding tension with the MC and Bash and Angelica. Serious angst. Yum!!
“You were always stubborn and headstrong.” “Right, so it should come as no surprise I still am.”
I loved the way Candace showed the complexity of Bash, yet made him so likeable. He was intense and determined. The need to protect Angelica as well as the MC was fierce and so endearing.
As the novel progresses Candace hits us with trouble from the District Attorney. In retaliation to Angelica's unrequited love. Along with trouble for the MC. The story itself is complex and travels from one obstacle to another, all thickening the plot.
Another cliffy.. Volume 3 now.
*ARC provided by RockStar PR on behalf of the author for an honest review* Thanks!!
Volume II continues right after Volume I ends. The plot thickens as the DA is a bit cray-cray over Angel. This story moves fast and is a complete page turning. I read it hours after receiving a copy. I kept telling myself to wait so that I can read it right before I can get my grabby hands onto volume III. This time, my ability to defer gratification failed. Wee into the hours of the night, I'm aroused and debating whether or not I can sneak in a little "me-time" whilst my spouse is sleeping peacefully next to me.
The sex is kicked up a notch as readers are treated to a delicious menage between Angel, Bash and Dawg. Ms. Blevins keeps it as vanilla as she can with only a light spanking when the thrusting begins. It is graphic and wet inducing. With the dominance play because Bash is a wolf, it generates more heat and it is mmm-mmm good.
This story is more than just the sex. The plot moves forward as Angel and Bash's relationship develops. The down side is the stalker DA who can't take no for an answer. The way Angel protects herself is a bit too similar to how Gen had to do the same for her ex-lover. It works but it makes me wonder why are all these guys who are supposed to be on the right side of the law such criminals.
Another part to this story I like is how Angel is not ashamed of her family. She see the good in what they do. Some of their businesses may not be legal, but from an ethics standpoint, it's hard pressed to see how they are wrong. For example, the pimp business - I fail to see the problem or issue here. I realize prostitution is illegal. I have never understood this and do not agree with it. I like how the Rolling Thunder protects the sex workers. It is how I wish it would be. This type of protection is popular among romance writers. My personal take on it is that romance writers do not see sex as a bad thing so they are more accepting of it being sold as a commodity.
The ending left me hanging again. I screamed in frustration as it ended. *glares at Candace*
What do I do? I start re-reading volume I and II over again. Each time, I like Bash more and more. I can't wait to see how it all ends in volume III. It can't come soon enough! Highly recommended to erotic romance readers who like intelligent women, protective men and hawt sex.
*I received this book as an arc in return for an honest review.
OMG....ok this one is a cliff hanger! This second book in the trilogy of Bash and Angelica does nothing but pull us further into the RTMC world and shows how saavy Angelica really is about both her worlds. Multiple scenes show just how smart she really is both scientifically and politically. Bash is slowly finessing her into the kinkier aspects of his sexy times and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how far he can get her to go cuz I'm pretty sure sexy Bash is a sadist. Once I picked this up I couldn't stop reading until I ran into that dang cliff hanger and I wasn't ready for it to stop. I wish there was 6 stars because volume one was fantastic and volume two has upped the ante....Can't wait for volume 3!
This is freaking amazing. Loved it Delving deeper in to Bash and Angelicas relationship, getting a little kinky and extremely HOT. Candace has outdone herself with book two of the three for Bash and it ends in a brilliant cliff hanger. Man is Bash going to do some damage when he catches up with those who took what is his. Cannot wait to read more about the RTMC and their members, especially Angekica and Bash who is fast becoming one of my favourites...not something I would have thought would ever say haha
OK, so the cliff hanger did not end the way that I thought that it would. Bash and Angelica are good together, great friends and completely, well almost, totally in sync with each other. Now, to jump the hurdles that could possibly be their downfall.
As you all may know, this is a continuing saga … Volume II came with some surprises, ends in another cliff-hanger and has us learn a few things about both Bash and Angelica. The biggest surprise to Bash may just end up to be the hottest scene in Volume 3. I can’t wait to read it.
Now, there was plenty of action to keep me riveted to my seat in Volume II. A break up, a ménage (well a couple of them), a spanking, a DA that won’t give up and the set-up of what is going to be an explosive ending. Love getting to know more about Bash and his past. Love the interaction between Dawg and Girly. Love that Bash and Angelica are getting back to the way they were and exploring where they could go. But I absolutely love the direction this story is going in.
In reality, I have no idea where Ms. Blevins is taking us. There are so many outcomes of this cliff hanger that could happen that she really has me guessing. Who is going to be the hero? Who is going to pay and how? Just how is Bud going to take everything that has happened? Wow, I have a funny feeling that, to get answers to all my questions, we are going to have to go through a hell of a lot to get there.
Candace never let us rest in Bash Volume II. Something was always happening, and it moved as fast as a well-greased motorcycle. She never kept us guessing, got right to the point. We always knew what Bash or Angelica were thinking or feeling. Maybe she knew that the ending was going to be enough of a guessing game or maybe she’s just that good of an author. Satisfying both the mental and physical needs of her readers is her number one priority. Telling a story that not only brings you on a journey but into the lives of her characters, making them and the storyline true to life is a trademark of Candace Blevins and I am thrilled to have the honor of reading and reviewing her work.
I realize the current trend is away from paranormal romance and back towards contemporary. I've always been a believer that there is room for everything, and I have missed having really strong, substantive paranormal worlds in which to escape. That is why it is always a real pleasure, and one I will sing long and loud about, when a stellar storyteller combines both into a series that just keeps getting bigger and badder and ultimately begins to take on a life of its own.
Bash, Part Deux. Bash, Plus. Plays on words don't even begin to cover just how much Ms. Blevins has upped the ante in this instalment. No give-aways here, but suffice it to say there is more action, more intrigue, and more intelligent plot points than I have seen or read in a long time. And they not only lead to what I am certain will be a very satisfying finish in Bash Volume III, but also to another three or four potential character stories involving the entirety of the Kirsten O'Shea Universe.
This book, or series of Volumes is about the RTMC, make no mistake, but those tantalizing glimpses into the other supes provides a delicious co-mingling of character and world, and about makes a reader giddy with the possibilities.
But I digress; this is about Bash and Angelica. The expanding, quite realistic contemporary plot is beautifully and seamlessly woven into a paranormal world, spotlighting two strong, capable and infinitely likeable characters who fit in either world. Or both worlds.
Once again, our heroine is smart and savvy and no shrinking violet, while at the same time, being all Bash's. Bash is sometimes frighteningly dark, but full of complexities that make him somehow relatable, and utterly steadfast in his commitment to his brothers and his woman. All very human traits magnified by the fact that they are also wolves.
It all just works. It is, very simply, a brilliant read.
...Not to mention, brilliant cover art, because my fellow readers...*that* is Bash!
Candace Blevins just keeps outdoing herself with each story I read! In Volume II, we get more of the daily life of Angelica and Bash as they try to establish some type of relationship. This might not be as easy as they thought, what with danger coming at them from outside sources that really want to cause them harm.
We also go further into the MC world and find out what Angelica will do to protect her new MC family. One of the best characteristics of this authors writing is her strong female characters, Angelica is more than literally strong, since she is wolf, she is also strong mentally. She will stand up to anyone and works very hard at being able to do so, whether with her hands or a gun (as we learned in the first volume).
As for Bash, he is truly an anti-hero. He protects but also will not blink at really harming someone when deserved. He has claimed Angelica and has his work cut out for him because she will not be that wolf that will just roll over and show her belly. Let’s not forget Dawg and how he gets involved in a very sexy ménage, seriously hot!
Passion ignites, fantasies are made to come true and we the readers are left salivating, well at least this reader was. The intensity of their joining really astounds me and it is really just the beginning since we still have another volume to go. I cannot wait to find out what happens, especially since this volume does end in a cliffhanger, but don’t worry, the next book is only 2 short weeks away!
* Copy received from author in exchange for an honest review
Things are going good for Bash and Angelica, they've claimed each other, Angelica's been accepted by the club, they have a little extra going on with Dawg and Angelica's dad is ok with the relationship with Bash. But...there are still somethings that are unresolved and starting to blow up to more. The DA has a case of bitter grapes when loosing out on Angelica and he brings in old enemies in the Disciples. The MC is working things on both fronts, but at the end things don't look good for Angelica.
Not at all sure why I love this author and this series so much but I every time I think I can walk away from not buying the next book....I race off to buy the next book in the series.
I thought Bash and Angelica were a really intriguing couple. I like them best so far and I'm surprised anyone surpassed Brain and Harmony in my list of strong couples from this series.
This trilogy is more kinky than some of the others but that totally works for me. Communication, though imperfect between Bash and Angelica is really solid because they work really, really hard at it and adding Dawg just made it all the more poignant to me.
I like the mix of strong women, brutal men and situations that just have to be dealt with that makes everyone stronger in different ways just makes this a great series.
ok, survived book volume II but barely cause I'm about to strangle Candace for the cliffhanger and cause I need to get my hands on Volume III. The woman has brought the craziness in me with this series !!!
what to say ... its the best of all worlds - the biker worlds gets more interesting with every chapter and you get to really love each member of the MC (and reading the series you already have your favorites LOL). But we also get deeper into the relationship between Bash and Angelica now that all previous breaks were removed and that they are honest with what they feel for each other. It gets romantic and sweet but also jaw-dropping-and-cringing badass so you don't know what to think any more and you just feel.
~o~ “You were always stubborn and headstrong.” “Right, so it should come as no surprise I still am.” ~o~
OH, and a BIG SPOILER for you all - Bash is a romantic after all (shocking, I know !!!)
~o~ Damn, she almost made me hard watching her tell Duke how it was going to be. Of course, her stating how I’m hers so matter-of-fact didn’t hurt, either. ~o~
“My fantasy in this moment is to either pull my pants up or take them off,” I told him with a smile, and he chuckled as he sat up and tugged them off my legs. “If those are my choices, I’m pretty much always gonna take ‘em off, Princess.” ~o~
The sex in the series just gets better and better, and let me tell you, I have strained my neck trying to imagine certain positions that they are doing (I can imagine the research for this ROFL!!!) and it just blows you away. In this series Candace mixes just the right touch of BDSM (or SM to be exact!) so that even if you aren't a fan you will get taken by a storm of it all.
~o~ “Want to use my belt on you. One strike, over your jeans, then pull ‘em down and fuck you. Tell me I can, Princess.” ~o~
He’d scorched me and then soothed me with a passionate violence only Bash could manage, and in less than thirty seconds I was screaming through an explosive orgasm I thought might take the top of my head off. ~o~
Also Candace is cracking me up with this volume - example Dwang admits he's a bit of a sadist (go figure right ?!?!??!?!?! ROFL !!!!).
~o~ “I get that you’re a macho bad-ass he-man who thinks he can go all caveman on the little girl. Don’t forget, though. This wolf has teeth.” ~o~
All in all its just an apetizer for the grand finale that I can't wait to dig into !!!! see what she does to me ???? going slightly crazy over here !!!
~o~ I hoped I was strong enough to take all of him. Bash was a force to be reckoned with. I’d always known it, and now, that force was in my bed, focused entirely on me. ~o~
well, I'll leave you to do your own reading, I've got an author to hunt down !!!!
Re-read: March 10, 2016 Originally Read: November 26, 2016
As a fan of Candace Blevin’s Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club series, I was pretty bummed when I saw that instead of one complete book, Bash’s book would be released in three installments. I really don’t like when this happens. I have no patience, hate waiting between books, and I detest cliffhangers. The total cost to me was $9.97 which is more than I generally pay. I did get 759 pages in total so I can swallow that cost, but it goes down hard.
With all three installments of Bash now released, I decided to re-read Duke and Brain before diving into Bash. Now that I’m done, I’m still trying to process what I just read. Ms. Blevins definitely added a lot more BDSM into Bash than she has previously in this series. At times I felt like I had stepped into one of her Safeword books which I liked, but went a bit beyond my BDSM comfort zone. Just a warning, Bash gets rough. Really, really rough. No doubt, a lot of the sex scenes were hot, but several made me a tad uncomfortable.
Volume II:
The structure of the story within Vol II was spot on. Bash emerged as a more likeable character and I breathed a sigh of relief. His relationship with Angelica was solidifying and in turn I became more invested in their characters.
A couple of little niggling issues I can’t let go unmentioned. I don’t mind ménages, but Bash had such a hard time with it, why Angelica didn’t just scrap the idea was beyond me. She wasn’t as TSTL as she was in the first book, but there was a huge dumbass move at the end that contributed to the cliffhanger. Unfortunately, she wasn’t alone, they all seemed to have lost their brain cells thinking it’s okay to go alone to have a beauty treatment when the bad guys are threatening mayhem.
~~ ARC gifted by the author for my honest review ~~
Yeah I can never say enough good stuff about the amazing talent of Candace Blevins. Its like she’s going fishing, baits her hook with a fat juicy worm, dangles the bait in the water and when we bit, snap and she catches and reals in her prize.
Bash II, I read in one day!, Rolling Thunder MC is turning out to be such an amazing series I find myself on pins and needles waiting for the next book. Its a good length not short and not too long, We know the characters Candace just adds another level of foundation to them. It has a cliff that yeah will not make you happy, but with a promise of book 3 soon.
It picks up where Bash I left off, its time for Bash and Angelica to come clean well at least with the MC powers that be and her dad. The MC and Angelic will have a big issue to deal with, when she tries to break it off with a public official. Not everyone in the MC wants the Princess around and are vocal about their distrust.
Bash is male personified and Angelica knew him when she was young, now that she is an adult its them both getting to know each other on a different level. They both give and take, meet each others needs. There are a couple of issues that come up, that will have to be dealt with, some Angelica will know of some she wont. But being an MC Pres. Daughter its not like she is walking around with rose colored glasses on.
Its def hot! Smexy sassy and toe curling. A touch of BDSM, more so alpha(ism) spankings and showers. Nope not telling you more. (smiles)
Of course I recommend it, no you cant read it as a stand alone. But why would you want to. Read the from the beginning! Go on get it, grab it, read it ... Enjoy!
This book begins barely one second after the ending sentence of Bash Volume I, so I strongly suggest you read that first. Yes, you could read this as a stand-alone but you would miss so much context that I think it might be less enjoyable. And enjoyable is definitely what I would call this book, while also “enjoying” the fact that I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for a fair review. This book has a great deal more tension than Volume I, since it builds on some sub-plots left unresolved previously, and has a cliffhanger of an ending. Boo! I hate cliffhangers but since Candace isn’t doing it to force a few dollars out of you (her books are long and amazingly inexpensive) but because the story is just too long to tell in one book, I forgive her. More or less. I hate going to bed wondering what will happen next! This book introduces a ménage à trois element, which ups some of the hot sex scenes and adds a number of layers on conflict; Candace is really good at that. Because we have so many layers going at once, this volume doesn’t move as fast as the previous one, but there is plenty of meat there, and you know that it is all leading up to a complicated set of solutions. The one BDSM scene in the last book doesn’t really reappear in this book, although there are certainly elements of (consensual) rough sex and pleasure/pain play. There is a strong indication of more of the same to come between the two major protagonists. For those of us who enjoy reading about this, we are left drooling for Volume III!
This is book four in the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club series and the second book for Bash and Angelica. This book starts off where the last book left off. Bash and Angelica have sex in the club house and he claims her. I really like Angelica she is smart and sexy and kickass and she rides and fixes motorcycles. When Angelica breaks up with the DA Thomas he threats her but she is smart she has Brian tape the conversation Thomas plants bugs in her apartment and the MC sets him up and it was funny to me what he finds. In this book we also find that the guys that Angelica shot want to kidnap her and that Thomas has set her up. The sex scenes where hot and I was surprised that Bash would agree to have a menage with Dawg or I should say that he would let Dawg touch her. I also like Angelica's dad Bud although I did think that he would not approve of her and Bash he was happy for her. I also want to find out more about Teresa and why she didn't want to join Randall's pack. This book left off with a cliffhanger and thank god that I don't have to wait to long for the next book. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling like the rest of Ms. Blevin's books. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The thing I love the most about Candace Blevins’ books is the mix of romance, hot sex and real story. This, the middle volume of the Bash books, gives all three in large amounts.
Bash isn’t the most romantic of men, and Dawg has to give him a few hints, but he and Angelica are working their way into their new relationship. Bash is used to having his own way, and although Angelica is happy to let him dominate in the bedroom, she isn’t going to let him take over all her decisions. She also has to face the fact that Bash has a very dark side, and won’t hesitate to deal with problems as he sees fit. Bash also wants to give Angelica a chance to experience her fantasy of a threesome, but has to get his wolf on board with the idea first. This leads to a couple of very hot scenes – have the fan ready!
Meanwhile, the DA is unhappy that Angelica won’t abandon her MC family, and is cooking up trouble for the club and Angelica herself.
Be warned, there is a cliff hanger ending for this one, but Volume III (with its very hot cover) will be out in a couple of weeks.
This is a fun trilogy. Angelica keeps growing, and while Bash stays a bit of an alpha-hole, he can be endearing. The sexy stuff is smoking hot, but can too rough/intense for my taste. Totally believable, and well written. This is definitely edgy, but not 'dark.'
I totally love Angelica's relationship with her father, Bud. Very tender and very realistic.
Unlike Volume I where the cliff-hanger was subtle, this one was a bit abrupt. The only sour note in otherwise excellent read.
As always Ms. Blevins has another hit on her hands. The story is getting hotter, sexier, and kinkier. Great cliffhanger and I love it. I can't wait for Bash 3. I just have to see if Bash and Angelica can work out all of the details and can she get out of her situation.
So many things left open n this book, not to mention the cliff. I'm really hoping she ends up theirs and not just his because I really want the romance for her.....
I am loving Bash. Oh how hot he is. And very protective of Angelica. You can see how much he loves her in his actions. The RTMC has been part of Angelica's life since she was born. In this book we get to see more of Bash and Angelica 's past and how they are working toward an very strong loving ,with lots of kink relationship. This book is one of those you pick up and will not put down. The sex scenes are very hot. There is a lots of action and danger in this book. I can't wait to start Vollume too see how their relationship/ mate goes. If you are looking for a book with wolves , bikers and lots of kink this one you'll love.
3.8 I Have to say I tolerated Bash better in this book at least he wasn't raping kat anymore. Though if that was a reward spanking he gave Tink I hate o see what a punishment spanking is, poor girl. At least she is a wolf so she can recover faster. I like Angelica so I hope he doesn't cheat on her. I don't get why there was so much going on with them and Dwag if they weren't going to become a threesome for good. Just seems like a lot of wasted time to have to find whether they are going to get a happily ever after. This could have been two books if more than one. This one is just mostly sex which I skimmed over a lot, took a couple of hours to read. And the covers are looking better.
Oh my I'm loving this series. Cant wait til i begin the next book
You have a lot of alpha males in this series. They are dominant but yet they have to protect their woman. And Angelica wants to be controlled in the bedroom but Bash wants to take that control. Will Angelica listen to Bash because he wants to protect her or will she get herself in trouble.
Wow, there was a lot of heat in this story, but a tonne of emotions as well. Angelica and Bash need to work on them as a couple. What are the implications, how far is it going to be, can they even rein in the emotions they have for each other? As they work through the minefield of their emotions, and their relationship, the exploration in the bedroom continues, with little to nothing held back!
I appreciate the concessions and confessions both Bash and Angel (Princess) make towards each other as they navigate their relationship. Love this couple!
