**I received a copy of Fast from Xpresso Book and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions were not solicited in any way they are mine alone**

Fast by Gillian Archer is the second book in her Burns Brothers series. I've read the first book and think that you can read this as a stand alone but if you can read both it will help explain the Burns brothers and their father's back stories.

I loved this book and how Ryan stepped up and took responsibility for Hope's and their baby. Being the middle child his brothers tend to bring up his anger issues and mistakes. There's a big issue with Hope being the daughter of the King's MC.

Hope meets Ryan when they deliver T-Bone's new MC to the Kings clubhouse and feels an attraction to him which leads to a one night stand and a baby. But because of who she will lead to a climatic ending. Because she didn't know who her dad was until she was older her relationship with mother and step-dad has always been strained. But finding Ryan and working at her job at the Boys and Girls club gives her a new goal to look towards. There a side story with the director of the Burn's reality show but in the end he proves to be a big part in the ending.

I hope that Sabrina gets her story as the epilogue hints at the possibility.

Loving Ryan!!

How can you not love a guy who stands by the woman who is having his baby?! Sure they met at a biker clubhouse since Ryan and his brothers build specialty bikes for some of the club members even the Prez, T-Bone. His eyes drew to her even though she was by T-Bone which should scare anyone away. Hope had those same eyes for Ryan along with fangirling on the famous reality star. Well, all it took was one night of stepping out on the wild side for Hope and the little stick turned pink.

This was just the beginning for the couple especially with T-Bone shaming his daughter and having Ryan as his target. Insta romance at its best. We finally have a “good” guy in Ryan whose attention is only on Hope and their baby…even with all the family drama surrounding them.

I hadn't read the first book in the series, so I will admit I felt a little lost at the start of the book. But, then I got into the storyline and felt the connection between the characters and didn't feel like I needed to read book 1. But, I will say that I actually am picking up Build (book 1) next, just because I want to see the background with some of the characters and storylines.

All and all this was a good book and I will continue to read from this author.

Ryan has it bad for the Hope. Just one problem - her dad is the president of the West Coast Kings MC and Ryan’s company’s biggest client. That’s where things begin to get complicated. It’s tough enough to build a relationship between two people add the family issues and pregnancy - and it isn’t pretty. You will be cheering on Ryan and Hope just as I was.
The Burns Brothers make me laugh as they are typical brothers and when they fall in love, they fall hard.
Gillian has a winning series with the Burns Brothers and can’t wait for the next book.

A one night stand has lasting effects when a pregnancy occurs. Ryan doesn’t hesitate to want to be an active father, which he never had. Hope came to California to get to know her biological father. She learns too late why her mother never wanted her to know him. There’s family drama galore on both sides but the two grow together in a meaningful way. I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced romance.

3.5*

I had not read the first book but I do not think this matters as it reads fine as a standalone.

Ryan and Hope were a great couple and an unlikely one. I liked that Ryan stood by Hope, there was never any doubt in his mind. It was sort of insta love but I didn't mind.
There was light MC interaction with Hope's dad - who was not a nice guy at all. There was not any angst but there was drama. What is the boys dad up to? Will he get his comeuppance - I expect we will find out in future books. Dylan is also up to something but who know what. The family dynamic was great for the brothers and their family.

Gillian Archer's Fast was just that! A fast-paced, intriguing read. 1+2=3 A 1 night stand with 2 attractive people equals a gorgeous baby and a family of 3!
Ryan and Hope are characters that a reader can really cheer for through all of their ups and downs.
I received an advanced copy of #Fast from #NetGalley in return for a honest opinion .

Ryan is attracted to Hope the first time he sees her but he doesn't pursue her because he thinks she's taken. When he meets her again, he finds out that she's free and they have a red hot one night stand that results in a pregnancy. When Ryan finds out that Hope's dad is the meanest local MC President he knows he'll be lucky if he lives till his baby is born. Enjoyable MC romance.

This one is such a great read!
I really enjoyed Ryan and Hope!

If you read the previous story in this series you already met Ryan Burns. Kind of a hot head in that book. In this story, he’s already taken anger management classes and he is a great man.
These two meet, have a one night stand where the condom breaks and then don’t talk for a few weeks until they run into each other at the store where Hope is buying a pregnancy test.

This is book 2 in the series but can be read on its own.

I’m not usually a fan of Motorcycle Club stories because of the violence, particularly towards women, but I did like this story. Hope and Evan were such a cute couple from the first minute they connected. And how Evan immediately stepped up when Hope told him she was pregnant was so sweet, particularly from such a hot tattooed man who had never had a relationship before. They had their issues to overcome but they never seemed to waiver in their feelings for each other. This does contain some violence, not a lot, but some so be aware. The steamy scenes were definitely hot. Overall, I enjoyed this book but I think you have to be a fan of MC romances to fully enjoy it. I received an ARC from #netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ryan and Hopes journey started very unconventional and set the tone for their relationship! It definitely wasn’t easy but they both overcame it all together and with the help of Ryan’s family! This is my first book by this author and I can assure you it won’t be my last! I find myself loving the burns and I want to know more about this right family and see what else unfolds!

Ryan is such a great man. His response when Hope finds out that she's pregnant is priceless. It doesn't stop there though. Family is everything to him. It's hard to remember the man with anger issues. Hope is very lucky and knows it. I loved reading, Fast!

Good story - I wish there would have been a bigger section of the story dedicated to them falling in love. The pregnancy premise worked, but seemed too instalove after that.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. This is book two in the Burns Brothers series but can be read alone. Ryan has always been hotheaded, not making the best decisions and meeting a beautiful girl at a MC club function just seems like a bad decision, but Hope isn’t just some club girl. Fast forward a bit and they find out she’s pregnant. While they both have issues with their dads Hope and Ryan really complement each other which helps build a strong relationship. There is plenty of drama with their respective families but their love shines through. This is a nice quick read with soft MC undertones and a light amount of sizzle but great characters. I can’t wait for the next book. 4.5 stars

Well hope wants to meet her father so she goes to the clubhouse and meets her father and he puts her up in one of their apartments close to the MC. At one of the clubhouse parties she sees a gorgeous tattooed hottie at the party, she’s definitely going to find out more about this guy! This book was really really good I definitely enjoyed reading this one! It had a lot of action, it had some humor, definitely some heart ache and some heartbreak! Oh and the fight scene between her father and Ryan OMG that was crazy! Definitely don’t miss Out on this one! It’s well worth the read!
