Tidal Wave

Broken Chains MC, Book 1

De: E.M. Lindsey

Narrado por: Logan Anare

Two men, two different worlds, one destiny.

Gunner has spent half his life running from his past, and the other half trying to protect himself from ever being vulnerable again. He’s escaped his old club and worked hard to earn the VP patch on his cut after joining the Broken Chains. But his entire life is turned upside down when Gunner’s past comes back to haunt him, and the club’s Deaf delivery guy ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

When his president asks him to protect the injured man, Gunner wants to say no. After all, he hasn’t been able to take his eyes off Logan since the day they met, and Gunner can’t afford that kind of distraction. But ignoring him is damn near impossible when every time he looks at Logan, he starts to feel something. And Gunner doesn’t think he has the power to resist him for much longer.

There will be no promise of a future though, if the Broken Chains can’t protect Logan from the mess he’s in, but even if they succeed, Gunner isn’t sure there’s a place for Logan in his world.

Broken Chains MC is a Motorcycle Club Romance series with dubious morality, mild violence, and happily ever afters.

Two men from different worlds fight for what

I love this author. Their ability to create charaters struggle in different worlds day by day. One from violence and survival, another from place silence but sees the beauty of every second.

Gunner and Logan's MC Romantic Suspense Story

Series starter ‘Tidal Wave’ sets up the characters, and what is likely to be just one of many conflicts, of newly established motorcycle club Broken Chains. They have a small membership, few allies and operate legit businesses. They also want to maintain a fierce reputation against other clubs coming into their small town of River Crest. Their first challengers are Satan’s Soul MC, the club Gunner fled with his baby sister five years ago.

Gunner is VP of Broken Chains, but worries his old club coming after him. Logan is a deaf man working as a dance instructor to Gunner’s sister and also delivers for Broken Chains’ mechanic shop. It’s inevitable the two men will run into each other. Gunner feels an immediate attraction, but knows getting involved with a civilian will put Logan in danger, so he keeps his distance. Logan has no interest in the biker lifestyle, but is intrigued by Gunner nonetheless.

Lindsey fills this MC love story with suspense, moral ambiguity and some violence. Trope-y goodness abounds with opposites-attract, hurt/comfort, close-proximity and even a small dose of single-dad, ‘Tidal Wave’ is a great beginning to what promises to be a wonderful romantic suspense series. I’m looking forward to what Lindey has in store for other club members on their journeys to finding love.

Logan Anare does a very good job with the narration of this book. His interpretation and delivery of the unique personalities of the main characters helps bring Lindsey's story to life.

This audiobook was given to me by request as a free review copy. I’m now submitting a voluntary opinion of it.

Good story. Good narration.

Having grown up in biker gang territory in the 80's, the mystique of MCs is usually lost on me, but Lindsey has an interesting way of putting the counter culture life of a motorcycle club in perspective. The Broken Chains club is one of those groups trying to recover from the unchecked violence of other MCs.

Gunner and Logan have an interesting dynamic, and I appreciate how Lindsey continues to show how conditions seen as disabilities can be assets. I very much enjoyed the way Logan teaches ballet. As a former ballet dancer, I agree with his perspective on music. Tchaikovsky has his place in the ballet world, but dance really could use some music that can be felt!

This was an engaging read with a nicely performed narration. I will be looking for more books narrated by Anare.

Good narration

I thought the narration of the book was good. Sometimes, it can be difficult to listen to narrators perform a child’s voice but this narrator did it very well. The story itself seemed to drag at parts but I enjoyed the narration.

Beautiful start to a series!

I actually listened to the second first. I lov d it so much that I had to go back and listen to the the first book! This motorcycle club series is so good! A lot of motorcycle series are well established clubs and this show the struggles of being new. I love the reason the new club was formed and that the characters are very unique. The narration is spot on and I love the voice!
