Iron Fury MC #1
Whiskey Burning
In the darkness is where I first met him.
Alone at a water fountain, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Ready to give up.
From the shadows, his voice came to me.
Soothing. Comforting. Rough as the blackest night.
I didn’t see him.
I didn’t even know his name.
All I knew was he saved me that night.
He put my back on my feet.
And he kept me on them.
Every single time I needed him, he found a way to come to me.
My stranger of the night.
My dark warrior.
My name is Scarlett. You probably know me.
I’m America’s number one country music star.
I’m also the loneliest girl you’ll ever meet.
He’s as free as a bird. A nomad. Travelling alone.
Nobody to hold him back.
He holds the freedom I pray for every single day.
He shows me that life can be so much more than what I’m living.
When danger comes knocking, he’ll also show me a different world.
A world I never knew existed.
A world that both terrifies and fascinates me.
A world that goes against everything I’ve ever known.
A world of Iron Fury

Why did it have to stop there!
I 've been dying for this book since the author announced she was doin a new MC series. I m a huge fan of her other books so I couldnt wait for this book. I was a lil scared cause I loved them so much but I wasn't disappointed at all. The story was brilliant I couldn't get enough once I started it.
The story is about Scarlett she's a top country singer. Scarlett loves her singing it feels like her life isn't her own anymore. All she as is people telling her what to do every 5 mins and she can't deal with it anymore. She tries to escape where she can and one nite she ends up talking to some guy. His voice is sexy husky and deep and it did something to her but she never saw the face to the voice until a few days later and she wasnt disappointed at all.
Maverick is a member of the Iron Fury MC. He is taking some time out from the MC when he bumps into Scarlett. Maverick needed some time way from his brothers things had happened that made it hard for him to stay. Seeing Scarlett and talking to her seem to take his mind off everything. Scarlett is gorgeous sexy and has a voice of angel just what Maverick needed. He just did expect for her to get so under his skin.
I really enjoyed the mix of MC and rockstar in this book. I wasn't quite sure about it when I heard what the story was goin to be. I have to say I was very surprised how good it was. I got sucked into the story straight away. I really liked the relationship Scarlett and Maverick had. They were super hot together there sexual tension was crazy hot. They really suited each other even though you had Scarlett this sweet country singer and Maverick who is this strong hard biker. Though there is a soft side to Maverick that you can help but love he has been through his own hell and is still dealing with it. You mite also think that Scarlett is this sweet cute girl but she has had to deal with her own hell as well. This is what makes these to characters so good together.
I can't believe this book ended where is did. Then it says it's not a cliffy what else can you call it. It left me dying for more which ye is great but I don't want to wait I want it now. I really can't believe the author said it's not a cliffy.
Overall I really enjoyed the book. I loved the characters Scarlett and Maverick are just brilliant. I like how the author has as started to create another relationship with the other characters i m looking forward to more of that. I would recommend this book its hard to put down once you start.

2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!

Sex with other women after meeting with our heroine.
She catches him in the act.
They were not together, but he has sex with others thinking of her. And she feels betrayed to see him with another woman.
Nothing new in history, I took the opportunity to read because I already had the book since May 10, 2018 in my kindle.

“Look beyond what you see. Stop starin’ at what’s right in front of you and gaze past it. You might just find what you’re so desperately seeking.”
“Through the burning I see fury, so wild and carefree, and, oh, I wonder what it would feel like, to have him next to me.” “Scarlett.”
The crowd screaming in my ear is making me want to pull out my gun and shoot the lot of them, just so they’ll shut up and let me hear her sing.
It’s been a long fuckin’ time since I’ve looked at a woman more than briefly. The women I’ve fucked, since ... since her ... I barely speak to, I don’t know their names, I just take what I need and move on.
“Barriers don’t have to be objects, darlin’. Barriers can be simply your own heart. No matter how far you travel, or how many people you meet, none of it can penetrate if the barrier is around your soul.”
“Let’s not jinx this. I’m goin’ to show up, and be around, when you need to me to be. Okay? Lettin’ fate handle this one.”
“Maverick?” “Yeah?” “Ride hard. I like the way it makes me feel.” Fuck me. I think I just fell in love.
...an attractive, busty blond wearing next to nothing standing in the entrance. I look her up and down. She’ll do. I’m not fussy. “Make it quick, I need to sleep.” She walks in, batting her eyelashes, and I toss some money at her. She counts it, tucks it into her purse and then looks at me with sultry eyes. “What do you want, big boy?” “A fuck, bitch. Isn’t that what you get paid for?”
And after sitting with Scarlett all night, feeling her body heat next to mine, smelling that perfume, I’m so fucking horny I could burst.
I start fucking her, hard. I close my eyes and drown out her moans of pleasure. I think about Scarlett.
Wishing like fuck it wasn’t her. For the first time, wishing I felt something other than release when I fucked. Wishing for that familiar feeling of home I haven’t felt ... Since her. Fuck.
I’ll be finding some pussy tonight when we stop, fuck knows I need it—the only way to remove some of this tension is a good, hard fuck.
Maverick is with a woman, against the wall of a small building just outside of the parking lot, maybe an old toilet? She’s facing the building panties down around her ankles, hands on the wall, and he’s behind her, hands on her hips, fucking her so hard she’s not even making any noise, her mouth is open, her head is back, but she’s not screaming, probably just gasping.
“We’re not together.” “Fuck. You.” “Which means—” he squeezes my hands tighter “—that I can fuck whoever the hell I want.”
And dammit, I want him. But not tonight. Not after he was just with someone else. That thought is like a bucket of cold water being splashed over my body, and I jerk my head away, panting, nipples rock hard, sex wet and so damned hot I could nearly come just being this close to him. “No. Not after you just had you dick in another woman.”
I just fucked her like some sort of cheap whore.

I was so excited to hear that Bella Jewel was coming out with a new MC series. Bella knows bikers, her books are addicting, even when she is pushing at the limits of my comfort zone and Whiskey Burning is a great example of how she draws you into the worlds she creates.
Whiskey Burning is the first book of her new Iron Fury MC series. It is an impressive start to what I feel will be an intense, sexy and gripping romance series. I cannot wait for book two to release this month!
I have mixed feelings about Whiskey Burning, I couldn’t put it down because the suspense part is very interesting, however Maverick was a bit of a jerk and Scarlett is really to docile. However they work! Their chemistry is off the charts and sex scenes scorching there are just times I want to shake Scarlett and junk kick Maverick. To clarify, for the most part Maverick is most likely really close to how a real life biker would act, which is a little crazy and a real tough guy, once he finally stops acting like a jerk he is totally devoted to Scarlett. Scarlett is a top country star, think Taylor Swift, but her manager runs all over her and Scarlett gives in way too much. I was jumping for joy when Scarlett finally stood up to her manager.
Now that I’ve explained all of that, I really couldn’t put this down, I want to know how it is all tied together, I hope to see more of Maverick and Scarlett and a progression in their relationship. I want Mal and Amalie. I want to know about Bishop and Koda. I want it all NOW!!!
This book ends on a cliffhanger, but not for Mav and Scarlett, the cliffhanger is the overall storyline/suspense aspect.

It could have been so great. But no, the Hero can't keep it in his pants. And I have to read about it, in detail. Not good.
And then Hero doesn't believe the Heroine, thinks she's deceiving him and gets all angry and aggressive and brutal. My respect for him went out the window. Right there. So childish and immature. And no "I love You" is going to change that.
And then there's the cliffhanger. I know it says it's not a cliffhanger. But for me it is.
I'm just disappointed, is all. But that's my personal opinion, because I really don't want to read about such things. Not sure if I'm going to read the next book. Definitely need "Safety Infos" beforehand.

Scarlett and Maverick's story was meh... I'm not a big fan of music star related love stories but this one featuring a motorcycle club. I decided to make an exception but I ended up not liking Maverick's actions that much... Why would you have your main character pay for $ex and fantasizing of Scarlett while doing the deed... and not only that after Scarlett and Maverick kiss passionately, he ends up with a random girl in a back alley... Whatever...

This was a quick read to clean up some old books that have been sitting on my kindle for YEARS. The blurb doesn’t give much away.
Scarlett is a country music star that has a stalker/dangerous ex and allows her manager and pretty much everyone to treat her like a teenager with no say on how to live her life. It was utterly ridiculous, like she's grounded, and they take her phone and there’s nothing she can do even though she’s the actual star.
Maverick is a member of the Iron Fury MC. He’s taking a break from things when he runs into Scarlett. The two have a connection, but initially he’s sort of using her to get info/see if she’s working with the dangerous ex.
The rest is pretty uneventful. They spend large chunks separated, running into each other in between her performing and him hooking up with other chicks. There’s a misunderstanding where they sort of have a falling out then it is rushed together so quickly that I really thought it was going to end in a cliffy, but nope. She just has them go from 0 to 100 in the last 5% of the book.
Bottom Line- Not great. Scarlett was a limp noodle, and Mav was a bit of a dick. The pacing was also off. Some parts dragged and were SO BORING, while the ending was SUPER RUSHED and jumped over what should’ve been the H groveling for acting like an ass. Instead, the h got

There were issues with this story from the start. The way the hero acted and the heroine didn't have any say about anything. Felt she was constantly treated like a child/teenager rather than an adult and the third act thing was completely bullshit. I hate that this reaction have been in more than one "romance" I've read. The hero believes the heroine have lied and been played him, so he miss treat her and "have rough sex with her", no its rape. I hate that it happened I hate how it resolved and I wasn't even disappointed at the end as I just completely lost any interest in the couple or the story.
I havnt written a rant in a while but I just finished it and is very disappointed.

Typical authorial insta lust-love variance ... he is a Neanderthal, and she is a gray mouse that doesn't dare to express her thoughts, but which suddenly gets a blur and a boom .... we get the most confident human being ...
I will slowly cut out the author for her lack of quality, since she was one of the best in the MC genre from the beginning .. she repeats the insta thing of publishing stories, which are losing their meaning and charm.

“Barriers don’t have to be objects, darlin’. Barriers can be simply your own heart. No matter how far you travel, or how many people you meet, none of it can penetrate if the barrier is around your soul.”
I think I am officially a fan of Bella Jewel but that ending.....
On to the next!!

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
Whiskey Burning by Bella Jewel is the first book in her newest series, Irony Fury MC. In this series, Bella introduces readers to two lost broken souls who found solace, comfort, healing, and possibly love within each other.
Scarlett is America’s country singing pop star sensation. She has it all from millions of adoring fans and a life that many would die to have an opportunity for. But here’s a secret that not many know about Scarlett, she is miserable. She is tired and just wants a moment of peace and alone time. And so when a stranger sees Scarlett crying, he approaches her and for the first time recognize her sadness.
When Maverick sees Scarlett crying, he felt drawn and connected to her. He knew she was a famous celebrity but at the same time saw her as someone he could relate to. Soon Maverick finds himself attending her concert tours and forming a friendship with her. When feelings for her begins to get blurred, Maverick finds himself wanting Scarlett and that could also be said for her as well. As the two begin to have an intimate relationship, what happens when Scarlett’s past ex threatens her causing a rift between Maverick and her? Will Maverick be able to trust Scarlett and protect her?
Whiskey Burning is an enjoyable read. I liked it but I felt Bella Jewel took so long with the character development with Scarlett and Maverick and so when the couple actually progressed, it felt rushed towards the end especially what happened towards the end. So I am hoping that in the next book, it won’t be a slow burn kind of romance since the plot line got a whole lot interesting and so I am looking forward to Amalia and Mal's story.

Which will win, the fear or the fury?
Let me tell you, when I saw that Bella Jewel was writing a new MC Romance, I was excited. Yeah, I admit I'm addicted to badass bikers. I've read over 300 of them, so I know what I'm talking about when I tell you she knows how to write them. Some authors have good stories, but they don't have the dialogue or the attitude right. There's something about bikers, they have their own language, using fewer words, with most of them being explicit. They are bossy and get their point across with a chin lift or a raised eyebrow. All that being said to make my point that Maverick will most definitely be added to many BBF lists once readers meet him in Whiskey Burning.
Scarlett is a country music star. She's loved by millions but spends most of her time alone. She feels trapped by her own talent, unable to leave her tour bus or hotel without security nearby. Somehow she manages to sneak away for a breath of fresh air and finds herself sitting near a fountain one night. She's exhausted and frustrated and feeling hopeless about her future. She thinks she's alone, until she hears his voice. She can't see him, but his voice is soothing. He comforts her with his words and his presence. She doesn't expect to ever run into him again, but then she sees him, the sexy, muscled, tattooed biker. She's drawn to him, and then she hears his voice and realizes he's the same man. He's big and bossy and badass and he makes her feel safe, and other things...
Maverick is a nomad. Or at least he has been for almost a year. He's running from his past and his pain. He plans to go back to his MC, eventually. But he needs time to get his head straight. When he meets her all chances of that go out the window. She makes him lose his mind. She has the voice of an angel and the face to match. And don't get him started on her body. She's the first woman to interest him for anything other than a temporary release. He wants to know her secrets and her dreams. He wants to keep her safe. He wants her...
I read this book in one stretch in a single day. I could not put it down. I love music themed books and when you mix that with MC Romance, I'm a gonner. Another of my weaknesses is broken bad boys and Maverick certainly fits that description. Throw in some sexy time, suspense, and some witty banter and this book checked all my boxes. I loved it. I can't wait for the next one, especially now that I know who it's about. The line forms here...

Blurb:
In the darkness is where I first met him.
Alone at a water fountain, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Ready to give up.
From the shadows, his voice came to me.
Soothing. Comforting. Rough as the blackest night.
I didn’t see him.
I didn’t even know his name.
All I knew was he saved me that night.
He put my back on my feet.
And he kept me on them.
Every single time I needed him, he found a way to come to me.
My stranger of the night.
My dark warrior.
My name is Scarlett. You probably know me.
I’m America’s number one country music star.
I’m also the loneliest girl you’ll ever meet.
He’s as free as a bird. A nomad. Travelling alone.
Nobody to hold him back.
He holds the freedom I pray for every single day.
He shows me that life can be so much more than what I’m living.
When danger comes knocking, he’ll also show me a different world.
A world I never knew existed.
A world that both terrifies and fascinates me.
A world that goes against everything I’ve ever known.
A world of Iron Fury

I just love books about motorcycle gangs! This story is awesome! I've been looking for a good MC book for a while and this was perfect!
I really enjoyed the writing layout and the characters were fab!
A very enjoyable read!
And that ending, I hate it when books leave you hanging.. I need book two.

I'm in love with anything Bella Jewel. I have a been a loyal reader from the beginning and there hasn't been a book she's written that I don't love. I especially love that she's back at it again with another biker series. I absolutely adore all her biker books and I couldn't get enough of this one. The first book in her brand new biker series, the Iron Fury MC, and it started off with a bang! Bella has a way of creating alpha males who make you feel all tingly on the inside and had me falling before I knew what was happening.
Scarlett and Maverick shared a chemistry that rivaled all others. It had me melting at my feet. The combination of their traits was the perfect mix and made for such a sweet yet rough love story. I liked her sweetness and his roughness. I also felt like this book started off so strongly but fell flat towards the end and was void of any major plot twists. However, it was still very satisfying and I can't wait for the next book!

“Look beyond what you see. Stop starin’ at what’s right in front of you and gaze past it. You might just find what you’re so desperately seeking.”
I read a few MC/Biker genres and this is the first time I encountered the H fell for someone famous. So I thought hey, this is different. How will Scarlett be in Maverick’s world? Though Maverick came across like a stalker for me even if he is that good looking😅. I like that it's a slow burn and not an insta love. It has suspense, mystery, and romance. Enjoyable story but ended in a cliffy 😉
“Look beyond what you see. Stop starin’ at what’s right in front of you and gaze past it. You might just find what you’re so desperately seeking.”
I read a few MC/Biker genres and this is the first time I encountered the H fell for someone famous. So I thought hey, this is different. How will Scarlett be in Maverick’s world? Though Maverick came across like a stalker for me even if he is that good looking😅. I like that it's a slow burn and not an insta love. It has suspense, mystery, and romance. Enjoyable story but ended in a cliffy 😉

L'angolo degli inediti: Recensione Whiskey Burning di Bella Jewel http://www.leggereromanticamente.com/...
September 30, 2017
Maverick= the worst hero I have read about. The dude couldn't keep it in his pants. He was horny all the time as he said, so am I supposed to forgive him for sticking it into 2 different ladies in this book? The first time happened around 25% of the book after just having met Scarlett so I let that pass. But the second time happened at 50% in an alley and he missed Scarlett's concert because of it? And I have no idea why would he do that when he was pursuing Scarlett. Was he so horny he couldn't keep it in his pants after things didn't go further with Scarlett? And he did it in an alley. Why do it in a public place? Of course Scarlett saw them and minutes later she let Maverick kiss her because "his lips hadn't touched anyone" in a year. But his member did a lot of touching in this book. How am I supposed to accept that he loves her after that? Honestly, and excuse me for my language, I think Maverick is happy to have a hole to stick it into because I won't call this book a romance book. There is no love on Mavericks part. He slept with two other women after meeting Scarlett and his thoughts on Scarlett seeing him with the blonde were that she shouldn't act like he cheated on her because they are not together. But a few days later he says that he loves Scarlett. How am I supposed to take him seriously after that? How can I like a man who prefers to fuck other women rather than spend time with the woman he supposedly loves? After the second woman, I started hating the book. The cherry on top of the cake came when Maverick had to prove that he trusted Scarlett and actually show some love and compassion to her. He was supposed to trust her and support her. I am sure you can guess what he did. He got angry at her without learning her side of the story, ignored her, abused her (he was manhandling her and the sex scene seemed a little too rough and forced for me) and he immediately thought that she was with the bad guys. As you can see Maverick is made out of pure perfect male materials. I wish Scarlett had chosen to leave him and find her happy ending elsewhere.
That, of course, wouldn't happen because Scarlett is the definition of dormant. She lets her manager run over her and she doesn't fire her. There is no indication that her firm is forcing her to keep Susan and she doesn't owe her anything, so I don't understand why she was keeping her. Her second and biggest mistake is Maverick. I don't understand why she loves him. She saw him having sex with another woman, she run away and after he pulled his dick out he ran after her. When he caught her she let him kiss her and almost had sex. GJ Scarlett. You got a real catch there. Then when she needs him to support her he is not answering his phone and basically accuses her of being with the bad guys, Maverick never trusted her and was always questioning her. In the end, he wasn't there when she needed him the most. I could have a moment with anyone like she did with Maverick, but in the end, I want someone to protect me and support me. So, someone who is the complete opposite of Maverick. I don't understand why she chose him and forgave him. I would spend the rest of my life wondering if he is doing someone else while I wasn't with him. The only good choice Scarlett made was keeping Amalie close. I believe that she and Mal will have a good story and they are the only reason I am considering reading the next book.
P.S. While the story of this "couple" ends in this book, the story about the bad guys continues in the second book.

4.5 stars! This book has a heroine that is a country music star and a hero that's a member of the Iron Fury MC. I really enjoyed this one and the new heroine. She was different and not really what you'd expect in an MC. We are also gifted with music in this one and I loved that. To me, Bella Jewel has a way about her where she sucks you in and keeps you reading.
There were a few times the hero frustrated me, but hey, that's a biker for you right? You don't expect a perfect love when reading one of these.
This book to me seemed to end in a cliffy. I guess not a huge one and Bella promises the next book to be out next month. I was left with so many questions about how their relationship would progress and I'm really hoping that we get a lot of that in the next book, which I will, of course, be reading.

Maverick doesn't like to see his lady in distress, "She’s crying. Eff no. I’ll kill whatever mothereffer made her cry." Maverick likes to give his woman options, “what do you want to do first? Shower, or eff, or both at the same time?” I loved this book, great start to a a new series. Loved the characters, I'm anxious for more.

Getting really sick of reading the word “pure”
Scarlett is pure.
Amalie is pure.
Pure pure pure
Oh, and innocent.
EVERYONE IS PURE AND INNOCENT
(Just to make it’s clear, in case y’all didn’t catch it the 711 times it’s mentioned... okay, maybe not 711.. but it’s an obnoxious word lol)

Maverick was horrible. He was beyond alpha and into Neanderthal.
Country singer was imprisoned and pathetic in that she was hopeless at speaking up for herself.
I'm sorry I read this...so many better biker writers. Scott Hildreth or Bink Cummings come to mind.

4 Country MC Stars
I was excited to give this new series by Bella a look see and I was disappointed. These days because of how busy I am in my personal and work life I'm only picking up books that I feel like I'm going to like or from Authors I love. This was in both categories for me.
Whiskey Burning by Bella Jewel is the first book in the Irony Fury MC series. We meet two very lost souls, Scarlett is a country music singer. She's loved by millions but is so lost and unhappy. Maverick is a member of Iron Fury MC but for the last year his has been a nomad, He has needed time away from his cub while he sorts out his own problems and gets over he own losses.
He comes upon Scarlett by pure accident but all he wants to do is help this sad beautiful woman. Although he comes across as an ass in some of the book, I think its just his way of dealing.
I read this book pretty quickly and it drew me in, I just wanted to know what happens. I love when you come across a book like this. This book ends in a little bit of a cliff hanger but to be honest I liked that. It's made me very excited to get my hands on the next in the series. I know a lot of people hate this but I feel this is a good way to get people interested and excited for the next book. I'm defiantly excited for it.

WTH kind of ending was that? I am so mad! Then the author said it wasn't a cliffhanger...news flash....that's exactly what it was. Maybe she doesn't consider it a cliffhanger because Maverick and Scarlett's story is finished and she'll she just throw a little bit of them in with Mal and Amelie's story? Can't start a new story until the first one is finished...that's just wrong. Very disappointed with this one...
The story was pretty good, I would say 3 stars...I only gave it 2 because I'm pissed off...I might change it later... when I get over the trauma of that ending.

Maverick is a member of Iron Fury MC but for the last year he has gone nomad after losing the woman he loved due to the mistakes of others. Still hurt and extremely angry he keeps asking himself constantly what if. Then he comes across the crying girl at the fountain, the girl who is about to change the way his life is going although he doesn't know it quite yet.
Scarlett Belle, biggest country singer in America. Exhausted and on the verge of breaking, being lonely and unable to go anywhere or do anything due to the demands of her career is enough to drive any girl to tears. Then comes the deep, husky voice "That's the prettiest damn cry I've ever heard". One guy with the power of words and actions is able to show her what it's like to be free again. The question is can they be free together because their lives are polar opposites from each other?
I am a long time fan of Bella Jewel's books and it's very rare she writes a book I don't like. Recently Bella has been writing romance thriller so when I heard she was writing a new MC series I may have got a tad excited and jumped for joy. I loved every second of it and just couldn't get enough.
Maverick is all sorts of alpha yummy and certainly a hit with the ladies especially in the bedroom because he certainly likes to take charge and know' what he wants. Scarlett took me a while to warm up to but once I did she became really likeable. Both characters have sadness in their lives and you get to learn their journey throughout the book. I really needed more of an ending with these two but by the quickness of the ending I am presuming their story will continue. I need the next book like now so I am glad we don't have long to wait.
