Publisher's summary

Truck

Badly burned and injured, I’ve lost everything. I can’t fight fires anymore, or even ride my bike.

I brood, alone, even have thoughts of ending my life.

That was when I hit the lowest point and the start of wanting to fight back.

I needed someone beside me. I didn’t expect to find a friend in Allie.

Was she like the rest of the sweet butts, just wanting to become an old lady? Had she sunk her claws into me, as she thought I was easy? Was she ignoring my scars, just so I’d patch her?

Was she encouraging me back to the club for her own interests or for mine?

Could I move past the fact all my brothers had known her intimately?

Allie

I enjoy sex. Not going to apologise for that. But Truck? He was different. It wasn’t just getting off, with him, it had been something else. Something I wanted to explore.

Before I’d got my chance, he’d gone and never came back.

The club wants him to return to them, so I volunteered to try to reach him.

My heart shattered when I found him scarred, broken, and angry, but I wouldn’t let him push me away. He needed a friend, and I could be that.

I can’t hope for anything more. Bikers never fall for sweet butts, do they?

A story about hitting rock bottom, and having the right people to rely on to get you out <3

Wow! Amazing! This book is written differently than the others in the series, but it was so well done! It’s a love story, a brotherhood, a passing of the torch, and growing old story. Hits home in every aspect. No matter who you are, something in this book will draw you in. Beautiful story telling, as always. Wonderful characters, many emotions, and several different perspectives that everyone can relate to.

Truck Stopped by Manda Mellet

Truck Stopped by Manda Mellet is your typical motorcycle club Romance with lots of twists, turns, and lots of unexpected events. Manda Mellets writing is up there with the greats for this genre. This is book 11 in the Satans Devils MC and apparently the last book in the series. Truck is a veteran and a firefighter, recently inducted into the Satans Devils MC, who is severely injured during a fire. He is struggling so much that no one can reach him. The club sends in Allie, a “sweet butt” of the club, to try and reason with him because things were “different” between them than just biker and sweet butt, wasn’t it? Truck can’t quite believe it and Allie feels like he’s a lost cause, but is he? I ran the gamut of emotions with this one. I loved Truck, and then I thought he was a jerk, in nice terms, but he was able to be redeemed. Allie had been through an immense amount of crap and she was able to maintain a good outlook on life which I admired. The audiobook was performed really well, voices for each of the characters, and I didn’t want to stop listening. I have a hard time listening to audiobooks usually, I zone out, lose time, or have to back track, but this one pulled me in and it didn’t let go until the end. I had to listen through headphones most of the time due to the 18+ content and having kids but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Truck Stopped.

Loved it

Truck Stopped, Satan's Devils MC, Book 11

I love how this final book in the original Tuscon chapter wraps things up with this generation as well lay the path for the second generation of Satan's Devils Tuscon chapter.

Truck isn't one of the original members but became a fixture pretty early on in the series.   He gets through being a prospect only to go fight a wild fire.  Things go from amazing to garbage in the blink of an eye.

Ally is such a strong woman.   She did what she had to do to survive, fate stepped in and changed her life for the better.

I find myself getting so lost in the story that the narrators are definitely the story.

If you're a fan of the Devil's you will know everyone and their stories. If you're interested in the Devil's I cannot not stress enough to start with Book 1.

When you feel you lost it all.

Truck was a fireman, while on duty he was caught in a burning building that almost ended his life. Spiritually that is, he can't ride, he can't work, all was lost. Until help was sent to him. He is angry and wants nobody around. Allie volunteers to go see him. To be his friend, to give him reasons to come back to the MC.He is scarred and broken. But Allie does all she can to motivate him. So that is all you get, no spoilers. Because this story is a romance of a different kind. One that will keep you glued to the story. I recommend you read the series in order. The author has once again impressed me with her writing. The story is a fast paced rollercoaster of emotions. I loved it, it's well written and easily keeps you reading. I look forward to the next in this series.

Truck and Allie forever

Once again this author has us delving into the world of the Satan’s Devils MC and finding happiness. There is such a feeling of home and friendship each time I hop into this world. Sure the characters are rough and grumbly. This may not be everyone’s idea of family. But through each and every book I have read or heard in this series, love, friendship, family are the overarching themes. They, down to every last man, do what they need to do for the ones they love, including their brothers.

This one was unique as it is told through a series of flashbacks as two of the mainstay characters reflect on the past. Drummer and Peg tell this story. As I listened, I came to realize that this was the series ender, at least of this chapter. So let me set the stage.

Truck had gotten patched in and was off doing his firefighting duty in California. Truck was injured on the job. He returned to Arizona but not to the club. He has put off seeing everyone.

Allie has been at the Club for going on 10 years. Not that she hasn’t enjoyed the life that being with the Club has offered her but she is realizing that she might want something more. She isn’t looking to be an Old Lady, she just doesn’t want to be what she is anymore. When the Club members start noticing that she hasn’t been fulfilling all of her club duties, Drummer calls her into his office and has a discussion.

Allie is tasked with a special job. Reach out to Truck and see if she can talk to him. Get him to come back to the club. When Allie does make contact with Truck, it only highlights that Allie doesn’t want to be what she is anymore. There has to be something else for her in this life.

This is where I wanted to smack some sense into Truck. The way he talks to and about Allie. UGH!!! I get it. I do. But, just ugh! Luckily for both myself and Allie, one of the brothers manages to talk some sense into Truck. *insert happy dance here!* But even after getting what you want, life isn’t all rainbow colored candy and beer. Each, Truck and Allie, make some life-altering decisions that have ripple-effect consequences.

In the end, Truck and Allie find their version of happiness. If I haven’t mentioned it before, I love, love, love this series. I have slowly started branching out the other chapters and 2nd Gen, but my heart will always be true to the mother chapter. One day, I will learn to ride a motorcycle or get some really good AI app, and ride off into the sunset with these characters. Until then, I will slowly add book after book to my library!! Satan’s Devils ride together!! Ride Satan’s Devils!!!

Fantastic and Bittersweet

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow…what a fantastic story. Truck Stopped is
Book 11 in the Satans Devils MC series and even through you could listen to this book as a stand-alone I highly recommend listening to all the books as this is a fantastic series.

Truck is a veteran and a firefighter who is also a member of the Satans Devils MC. While trying to tend to a fire call, Truck is injured and burned badly. Feeling down, damaged and angry, Truck just wants to be alone and just feels like a broken monster with all his scars.

Allie is a “sweet butt” for the Satans Devils MC but knows she wants more. Her mom throwing her out at a young age, Allie is a fighter to survive…Allie never forgets Truck as they shared something special before he leaves. When Drummer, the president, wants Truck back at the club he sends Allie to convince Truck to return……but does he?

Allie and Truck continue their bond even though there is lots of hesitation. Will Allie and Truck each overcome darks pasts that lead them to light?

I loved every minute of this story including hearing the future of the club with Drummer and Peg of what is to come and what has happened. I’m very sad this is the end of an era but love to see more from Manda that would include the clubs children as they grow up as a possibility.

This is my favorite in the Satan’s Devils series!

Five Stars

Truck Stopped is the eleventh book in the Satan’s Devils MC Series by Manda Mellett. This is my new favorite book in this series. It was gut wrenching and heartwarming with my emotions flying between laughing and crying throughout. This is Truck and Allie’s story and I love the way it was presented. I especially love the flash forwards into the future as Drummer relates the story and fills in information on other members of the MC. I highly recommend this book, series and author.
This story is narrated by Sierra and Logan as all the books in this series so far. They do an awesome job bringing the characters to life. Their voices complement each other for an all around great listening experience.

Heart tugging drama

Dang, this story will rip your emotions apart. Yes, it’s anMC but they are human. Two people that have made some questionable choices and got dealt scrappy handin life. Most can relate to this. Watches two work through it is painful and heartwarming at the same time. They both have support from the group. Tough choices are made. It’s such a well-developed and thought out story. The author has a fantastic narration team. They are a large reason I love to hear her stories on audio. This is a outstanding audio all around.

perfect ending

Once again, this book proved why this is one of my favorite series and I'm so incredibly sad to see it end for the Tucson chapter. This was wonderfully and beautifully written. I felt every single emotion between Trucker and Allie. I found myself unable to stop listening and when I had to "put the book down" I found myself thinking a out it. I loved how this followed the same normal format as all the other books but also gave closure to the Tucson club. As always the narrators were fantastic and were absolutely perfect.

A must Audiobook

This is not my first audio book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a series that I have enjoyed reading and listening to from the start. I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and how engaging they kept the story with their voice. The author did a great job of creating something so amazing and the characters are steamy. Truck is badly scarred from his past but will Allie be his savior? Will she show him there is more to her than just a friend? Loved their chemistry. This is a must listen to audio! I highly recommend this audiobook.
