But when Jupiter Quinn walks through the club doors, his heart shifts, and the powerful desire to protect her only outweighs his feelings.
When Jupiter’s past collides with her newfound future, she’s forced to either flee or face the danger.
Can Rubble keep her safe, or will they tap out?

A little while ago I was offered an ARC of ‘Rubble’. This is the third book in the Macha MC series, but a standalone. Although I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, the book description made me really curious about this read. So when I had the opportunity I started reading.

In ‘Rubble’ we read the story of Jupiter Quinn. Jupiter is on the run from an abusive husband, and has been for awhile now. Her life has been horrific, and she is really scared her husband will find her. Her one last hope is contacting an old family friend. Soon Jupiter finds help in an MC club. What she didn’t expect was to find Rubble. Rubble is an ex MMA fighter, and has devoted his life at the club. He doesn’t do relationships. But from the moment Rubble meets Jupiter, he wants to keep her safe. And soon he realizes Jupiter is the one he want to fight for.

I was a bit afraid that this book wouldn’t work for me, since it was the third book. But luckily, this wasn’t a problem at all. Sure, I didn’t know some of the side characters, but the author explained enough to understand the relationships. And ‘Rubble’ was definitely a fun read.

I loved Jupiter and Rubble together. Jupiter really needed someone to take care of her. And not in a woman-needs-a-man kind of way, but she really needed to feel safe with someone again. And Rubble made her feel safe. Jupiter really wanted to get her life back, and she did what she had to, to get to that point. Rubble’s character was a little harder for me to love from the start, she he really was a bit to crude for me, but in the end I definitely enjoyed reading about him.

The one problem I had with this book was the “nymphs”. Women who are used to take care of the MC guys “needs”?! This is probably how things work in the MC world, but this really bothered me. Unfortunately it bothered me enough to make it a bit hard for me to continue with this read. But in the end the romance was fun enough to keep me going.

And I’m definitely interested in seeing what happens in the rest of the books in this series.
