This was just an okay read for me. I was curious at first about what reason they had to build the walls they did. You can feel the sexual tension between these two. The sex was hot. There were times that the two friends did not come off that great to me. The heroine and us, the readers, were supposed to excuse the nasty Bridezilla behavior going on, but the heroine was just being a witch and needed to change her attitude or else. I really didn't like the girlfriends. She let it go for them, but they did not return that sentiment. They didn't really try to understand why she acted the way she did. You could feel that this couple were a good fit. They both saw deeper beneath the facade shown to everyone. They had some bumps in the road, but they got their HEA. I didn't like their story as much as I did the other two, but it was an enjoyable read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Bad-boy biker, Tank, is a handsome, brooding man who has secrets in his past that keep him from any romantic commitment. There is a high profile wedding happening soon in the True Brothers MC and Nicole Walker is attending the festivities when she notices Tank. Nicole is a college educated beauty who has secrets of her own and a "one night only" limit in her liaison department. Tank sees her as a "forever type" girl that needs a commitment that he's not willing to give. The story revolves around their relationship.
Gillian Archer scores again in the third "True Brothers MC" installment. I have to confess that I am not the typical reader of "biker romance/biker fiction". In fact, I've never read any other author but Gillian Archer! BUT, this is the second book that I've read in the series! I love it and I love Gillian Archer, the author! Deep reoccurring characters, complex situations, spicy sexual encounters and excellent writing give this book a big five star rating!
Resilient by Gillian Archer will be available July 11, 2017 by Loveswept, an imprint of Penguin Random House Publishers. An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
I love this book and this series. I feel like it gets better and better with each book. I had been looking forward to reading about Tank. He doesn't want to get involved with Nicole because he feels that she is a forever type of girl with a hint of snooty and sees her disdain for his biker brothers. However he can't seem to stop thinking about her the more he sees her. Nicole ends up coming on to him and tells him they should hook up...one and done. However they both seem to keep coming together until they finally realize they are in a relationship with each other. I like how they both have pasts that make them fearful of love and how they both feel they don't deserve the other.
True Brothers don't dissapoint. This was a badass, hot and steamy read. Tank and Nicole were perfect for each other. I can't wait for more!
Nicole Walker wants nothing more than to attend her best friend’s wedding. Growing up with a deadbeat dad, she has labeled all men the same and is determined to stay away from all things “bad-boy”. If only she could stay away from Tank. Protective of his MC, he thinks that Nicole is nothing but a goody two-shoes. However, one explosive night turns into another, and another. Soon, Nicole and Tank find that they can’t keep their hands or bodies to themselves.
Verdict: This is the third book in Gillian Archer’s “True Brothers MC” series. As an enjoyable read, Nicole and Tank will take you on a ride filled with ups and downs. They are the couple that doesn’t want to admit they are a couple, and will do everything but commit. I think the book had it right when, one and done, became two, which turned into three, then flee; and so on and so forth. Only there was no fleeing, just a progressively deeper intimate relationship between Nicole and Tank. I would have loved to have seen some more in-depth background on Tank. We get that he was in the military and that he required a service dog, who is now ancient and blind, but we don’t get much more than that. Overall, this was a great read and an awesome continuation of well-done series.
Of you haven't read the first two, I would recommend it. This will start off right in the middle of the two female main characters from the first two so this one will pick up when Jess is in the hospital with her fun shot wound and weeks after Emily was taken and beaten.
This is the first-time reading a story by G. Archer and I can say I would love to was more and I can't wait for more of this series.
This has some grittyness, drama, laughter, resentment, and right about of sex.
Copy was voluntarily exchange from Netgalley.com
Nicole Walker is has a rough childhood seeing her father yell, but her mother, and her older brother and her be emotionally abuse by her father. Until he went to prison for killing for his friends. Nicole HATES BIKERS and has been letting everyone know her distaste. That is until Tank gets under her skin.
Tank concurred a lot in life, enlisted into the Marines, married to a crazy women, PTSD, and being raised by his older sister but he is alive but broken. Or was until he saw Nicole in the hospital trying to stay strong for her friends Jess and Emily. One year he watched her from a car but wedding week took his admiring for a far to right up and personal with Nicole and her clear disdain for bikers and him.
Can this broken survival of war and death be awakened by a sassy, smart with an unfiltered mouth beauty and make his heart love again????
I love reading MC series and this is one that I truly enjoyed.
This one was not a grit and gore MC read and it was refreshing.
There is no shortage of that biker edge with Tank. The power, the presence and the sexiness. And, hello piercing!
Nicole came off snobby but as we read on into the story we see that she is not. She is confident with hints of sass. And can go toe to toe with Tank.
These two simply collide in a beautiful way! There was just no way that one night would be enough! And thankfully we get to read all about it!
There was a good balance of humor, chemistry, sex, drama, loyalty and angst to make this a smooth and enjoyable read.

The resilient is another good book in the series. But I did expected more of a plot for me it was way too predictable and what happens with Stich totally unnecessary for my opinion. Both Tank and Nicole were great characters well develop interesting. I liked Nicol and her sassy mouth it made me laugh more than once. She was also smart and strong. Tank was a giant with soft hart and what dose two did together hot hot and again hot.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly
Not reviewed because I thought story was subpart for premise. I thought female lead was ridiculously off-putting toward male with her not getting his name right. It wasn't funny but kind of bitchy. Not a good start. I have lots of book choices so I quit when a member of MC takes that kind of put down.
Ms.Archer keeps improving with each book she writes. My readers really enjoyed the first book in this series and they are sure to love this one too.
I love this book, she weaves a world you can instantly get lost into and I have to say that I am so glad I read her words.
I really enjoyed reading this book! I think the series gets better and better with each book and I enjoy seeing how the characters in the previous books are getting along now. I can't wait to keep reading more books from Gillian Archer.
Two troubled souls with trauma histories meet and fall in love. Tank, a retired Marine who now belongs to a motorcycle club, is drawn to Nicole, a friend of his club president’s old lady. He does not do relationships. Though physically attracted to Tank, Nicole vows to avoid motorcycle club men because of her terrible father. They agree to sex only, but find something more. Story was fine, the writing could’ve been better.
This series is fantastic....good characters, plot and of course sexy bikers. I loved Tank and Nic's story and how realistic their situation was and how they had to learn to let their guard down and open their hearts. I loved seeing the guys and gals from the previous two books as well. Can't wait for the next one in this series.
What a great book. I loved how Tank handled being called truck by Nicole. He was so into her and yet she kept putting up this resistance but he prevailed and they ended up together. I loved the wedding with bridezilla and all the effort everyone as going through to make it the perfect wedding for their friends. Her father was a real asshole and once he came back into the picture oh goodness I just knew something awful was going to happen. I do wish she would have ran to Tank and let him comfort her but instead she ran to her mom and hid out at her old home. Great writing and characters who are so interesting to read about. I love this series!!!
I didn't really know what I was getting when I requested this one. I wanted something light and fluffy and that wasn't what I got. Also, I haven't read the other two books in this series and, while I'm sure this can be a standalone, I was a little out of the loop.
Tank's first impression of Nicole is that he immediately wants her. (He used more explicit language, but I'd like to keep that off the blog.) His first meeting with her is also at the hospital where one of their friends are because she was shot. So. His friend got shot and he's got other things on his mind.
Flash forward a year to when their respective friends are getting married and Tank and Nicole meet again. They immediately piss each other off and Nicole gets a bad rep for being a mean bitch. Literally, her friend tells her that. As someone like Nicole, who freely speaks their mind and is always honest with others, that kind of bothered me.
Eventually Tank and Nicole take their mutual hatred for each other to the bedroom. They agree to be "one and done" but it never works out that way does it?
I did enjoy this story, but it was just a bit too much for me. There was a lot of drama to go along with Nicole and Tank's story. Some of it was drawn out from other storylines and some of it was their own. I liked the male characters in the books, but wasn't too crazy about Nicole's "friends", except Brittany. There was definitely some character growth here, and I do love that. I liked how Tank and Nicole's relationship changed and how they were able to open up to each other in more ways than one.
I'm not sure if I'd like the others in this series, but this one was pretty good.

Resilient by Gillian Archer is the third book in the True Brothers MC series by the author. I have read the previous books and even though Resilient can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the series in order. You will need a couple of tissue at the ending though just a fair warning.
Nicole Walker grew up part of the MC family who were to say the least a bit rough and now as an adult she is best friends with Jessica who is marrying Zag. However, Jessica has turned into a Bridezilla the closer to the wedding it gets. Tank has been assigned to them for the dress fitting as he's drawn the short straw and has been assigned to drive the women around for their errands. But he's got his eye on Nicole but neither want to admit the attraction that they have. But when Nicole's father shows up at her mother's she accidentally mentions something about the True Brothers MC that will have tragic consequences to the heart and soul of the club. She will distance herself from everyone in the MC because of her guilty admission. But will the MC and everyone forgive her or will she have to turn herself away from Tank and True Brothers MC.
Tank has returned to Reno and the True Brother's MC after his Marine service ends, they are his family even though he has a sister (who has issues of her own) he's able to find peace within the MC and their leaders. But when he meets Nicole and they agree to only one night, they both find that just one will never be enough. When a confrontation with Nicole's father occurs his faith will be tested and he'll want to protect Nicole and all of his brothers. But it will take everyone in the MC to heal everyone and learn to carry on in the face of a tragedy. Can both Tank and Nicole be able to survive and take their newfound love to the next step and heal their own grief stricken families?
I have loved each and every book in this series and love getting to know each member of True Brothers MC. I give the book 5 stars and anxiously await the next book.
Books about motorcycle clubs don't typically make the top of my reading list, but I will admit to enjoying Gillian Archer's True Brothers MC series. Tank and Nicole' s story is not to be missed!
Resilient is the third book in the True Brothers M.C. Series. Once again Gillian Archer has written a riveting tale, this time we have Tank and Nicole's story. It was great to catch up with the other couples from the previous books.
I would say there is a bit less angst with Nicole and Tank getting together than Emily and Jessica went through, but that by no means made this story less intense, in fact I felt that the way things turned out at the end were all the better for the slow build up, I had worked out who or what was responsible for the tragic events that unfolded but that by no means spoilt my total enjoyment of this book.
Another winner!
