Title: ICE (Regulators MC, #1)
Authors: Chelsea Camaron and Jessie Lane
Release Date: December 8, 2014
Blurb
She's an investment banker. He's an outlaw biker. A little bit of heaven is about to meet a whole lot of hell. Morgan Powell was raised to be perfect, to set an example for her sisters to follow. Her life has been dedicated to making something of her career, so she wouldn’t know what to do with a man even if you gave her an instruction manual. Brett 'Ice' Grady spends his days trying to keep up with his teenage daughter, his nights consumed in Regulators’ MC business. He has no time for anything more than a casual hookup. Two worlds collide when the dangers of his life crash into the calm of hers. Can she go beyond her own boundaries and chip her way through to the man known to be as cold as ice? Loosely attached to Chelsea Camaron's Hellions Series and Jessie Lane's Ex Ops Series.
EXCERPT
~Ice~
Parking my bike on the edge of the road, I hop off with
Hammer and Coal following suit. They don’t bother asking questions, because my
reason for coming here is obvious as we make our way into a house full of
drunken teens.
Walking inside like I own the place, I see kids in every
corner, making out. The sight makes my blood boil. If I find some little
dipshit with his hands all over my baby girl, it is going to take both Hammer
and Coal to keep me from beating the shit out of him. I don’t care if they are teenagers;
no little prick is good enough to touch Brooke.
I glance into the formal dining room to my left, and someone
has one very expensive table that seats eight, making a perfect set up for beer
pong. Jesus, this is the nightmare of every parent. If I see one kid doing any
drugs, my head is going to explode.
“Brooke,” I call out. “Brooklyn Rayne Grady, get your ass
out here… Right. The. Fuck. Now!” I roar without a second thought.
All the teens stop and stare at me and my brothers filling
up this ostentatious entryway. When nobody moves, Coal steps up to be right
behind me on the left.
“Brooke, find her now,” Coal clips out, giving his cold
glare to every teen in the room.
At the top of the stairway, I watch my daughter meet Coal’s
gaze without one ounce of trepidation. Baby girl is showing balls of steel for
her friends. Her short as sin shorts make my blood pressure shoot up even
higher. The camisole tank top that I bought to go with pajamas is far from
hiding her buds from all these teen pricks.
“Dad—” she starts as I interrupt.
“Don’t say another fucking word. Get your ass on my bike.”
“Death of you,” Hammer chuckles behind me as he turns around
to get ready to leave.
Yes, my daughter will be the death of me. I watch as she
grabs her friend by the wrist and half drags her down the stairs, mumbling at
her the whole way down. When the two girls reach me, I don’t move.
“Come on, Dad,” Brooke lets out a huff. “Let’s go. This is
embarrassing enough already.”
“Everybody here, you have twenty minutes to get this house
cleaned the fuck up. Since you dumb shits have been drinking, a bus will be
here to pick each one of you up and take you home. My man Coal here is gonna
stay behind and make sure you do as I say.”
“Daaaad,” Brooke whines, “leave everyone alone.”
“Brooke, I suggest you shut your mouth and get your ass over
to my bike. If your friend needs a ride, Hammer will take her. Outside. Now.
You’re in enough trouble, don’t add more.”
Defeated, the two girls stomp off while Hammer shakes his
head at me while I turn to follow them all out. I haven’t even made it to the
door when I hear some pre-pubescent shithead slur out a question.
“Do you think they are, like, real biker dudes? Maybe we can
ask them to pop a wheelie or something. Wait!”
His voice cracks as he gets excited. “Maybe they’re from that show on TV! We
should ask for their autographs!’
God save me from teenagers. No doubt, Hammer is cussing me
out in his head for sticking one on his bitch seat.

Ice Playlist
Ice’s playlist is filled with hard rockin’ songs that we feel represent the rugged men of the Regulators Motorcycle Club. These guys may be rough and tumble, but deep down they’re the type of men that would fight to the death for their woman.
Chelsea Camaron’s Songs
Evanescence - Lost In Paradise
Thirty Seconds to Mars - Hurricane - This is the lifestyle of The Regulators MC (would you kill to save a life, would you kill to prove you are right are some of the lyrics).
Don Omar, Tego Calderon - Bandoleros - Tied up in a world with the Cuban Mafia.
Three Days Grace - Give Me A Reason
Halestorm - Better Sorry than Safe
Staind - Something to Remind You
Three Days Grace - Home
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You - When Morgan first meets Ice he's an ass. The first few times they are around each other there isn't love shared between them.
Jessie Lane’s Playlist
Otherwise - Darker Side of the Moon
Hellyeah – Moth – How I see Ice’s slow burning infatuation with the innocent Morgan.
Starset - My Demons
Nonpoint - Breaking Skin
Devour the Day – Respect - Ice isn’t the sort of man who would trust easily. You’d have to earn that sort of respect by showing him just what sort of person you are. A pushover would never be able to hold the position he holds in the Regulators MC.
Demon Hunter - The Last One Alive – Ice has personal demons that follow him in the form of his dead wife. He’s a haunted man.
About the Authors
Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming. Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice. Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works. When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

REVIEW
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in. I knew it was suppose to be a mix of bikers with something military. And that is exactly what it is.
The big story of the book is that girls are disappearing. There is a dark blight of kidnapping and sex slave trade taking place upon the city. Some parts dealing with this get a little dark, but not in the way readers usually think of dark. I hope this isn't a spoiler, but I have to mention it because I love it. The partial darkness I'm referencing is from the badies getting their just rewards. It's nice seeing this take on a popular story topic. So often in current books the sexual predator is romanticized, but that is definitely not the case here.
The love interest of the book is Morgan and Ice. I really liked both characters as themselves, but I wasn't so into them as a couple. Nothing was really wrong with them, but they just seemed so cliché. The virgin meets the bad boy. Sometimes I like that scenario, but their love scenes felt overdone and unoriginal to me.
What made me like Ice is that he is a single dad with a very active role in his daughter's life. He's a real take charge kind of guy and a total alpha male. A good father is such turn on (especially one who's as sexy as Ice).
In all my life, I have never analyzed a man's body enough to know they could be built in such a way, and now I realize I have been missing out. Backs built like Ice's are sort of beautiful and might just be my new favorite body part.
I believe that the next book will be Hammer's. He seemed to be really fun and wise so I would like to see more from him. But the character that totally stole the show for me is Coal. I can't wait to find out what his past is hiding. I'm calling dibs now.
thank you for your review <3
