Author: ML Nystrom
Genre: MC Romance
Publisher: Hot Tree Publishing
Release Date: 23 June 2018





“He’s a strong man and a smart man, but deep down, he’s a hurting man.”

Bold and brash, Eva MacAteer has spent her life working in her blue-collar family’s construction business. In doing so, she’s had to fight for her own place away from her overbearing father, as well as for her own identity as a woman. Struggling between her loyalty to her brothers and her desire to strike out to be her own person, Eva knows one thing for certain: getting involved with a womanizer, no matter how hot he may be, is not the path for her.  

Stud is not one to be tied down to any woman. Fiercely loyal to the club and his single ways, the last thing he expects is to become fascinated by the fiery Eva. He sees his own life reflected in hers and is not quite sure how to handle the connection.

Can two mismatched people find enough common ground to overcome their fears and allow love to grow?

Stud is the second book in the MC series, The Dragon Runners. It can be read as a standalone but I would advise to read in order (plus Mute the first book was fabulous!)

Stud is well known in the MC for his prowess with the women in the MC and up to now he has never questioned his ways. However it takes one sassy and headstrong Eva to make him start to change his ways. He is an enigma being the brains of the MC, taking care of the monetary and legal business for the MC.

Eva has never known anything else except life on the road with her father and her brood of brothers. The only girl in a male dominated world she has learnt to be tough and do the work of a man. Her family business is in construction which brings the family to The Dragon Runners to build a new bar for the MC.

The Dragon Runners is an MC with a difference and in this book there is little MC drama, the drama is more to do with Eva’s family and Stud’s family. It was good to get to know Stud’s background and I knew his happy outlook was hiding a past of hurt and anger.

The romance was very slow burn and I liked that Eva and Stud were kind of opposites attract. In some areas Eva was a little too ‘butch’ for my liking but I was so glad she wasn’t an annoying drip like some women are portrayed in MCs. There was a lot of banter and fun as well as some emotional moments. Stud’s family were a shocker and as for Eva’s Da? Don’t get me started!

I did enjoy this book but not as much as I loved Mute. However it was good to catch up with the MC and their interaction (I just wanted more of Mute again!)

Overall a good read and a four stars recommendation and I can’t wait for the next book!

I've had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold.  I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities."   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!
