Really enjoyed this story. Hope and Ryan are the sweetest couple and their relationship is developed in a lovely unexpected way. There was a bit of predictable story lines but overall a good book.

This is a sweet, sexy accidental pregnancy story with plenty of familial drama and a bit of motorcycle club thrown in. Hope and Ryan were each kind of sweet, insecure and uncertain. They struggled a lot with just being comfortable around each other and this story revolves around them getting to know the other better as well as when and how to let their families know they were having a baby. Despite all the family angst, this felt like a low angst read to me. There are plenty of sexy times as well as a nice dose of humor. The hero is endearing in his ability to get a bit flabbergasted over the heroine. While he definitely stands up for her, I wouldn’t consider him to be an alpha hero. Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading this book and seeing more of the Burns brothers and all their family dynamics.

Fast is a two worlds collide biker story. Our heroine, Hope is the daughter of the MC President of a 1 perenter club. The hero, Ryan is with a more morally safe biker club, who also happens to have their own reality tv show for the bikes they build.

Hope is not what you would expect from a 1 percenter club and that's only because her dad is a recent figure in her life. She isn't aware of what kind of man and his club are like until he thinks she "disrespects" him when she hooks up with Ryan.

Hope is a sweet heroine and has a heart of gold where children are concerned. She's a pretty likeable character. Ryan is also very likeable. There is mention of his anger issues but you don't really see too much of that in this book. He's very respectful of woman and I really like how he handled the news of Hope being pregnant.

Who wasn't likeable was his brother Nathan. I haven't read book 1 so I'm not sure if his character is always that way. Overall this was a good book and I would consider this a safe biker story since the main focus is on Hope with Ryan and not too much on her dad.

This is the second book in Gillian Archer's Burn's Brothers series, but could be read as a standalone. I picked up this books because I loved the first one so much and this one did not disappoint. This book was about Ryan and Hope. Ryan is the undervalued brother of the four and feels like his accomplishments are not being noticed. Hope recently found out that she is the daughter of the local MC's leader and moved to the area to get to know him. Since the MC is the main source of income for Ryan and his brothers, it is easy to guess that dysfunction ensues. This book was full of funny moments, thrilling moments, and drop dead sexy moments and was one that you will not want to miss.

There were things I liked and then didn’t like.

I love this family and that is why I wish there were more scenes with them together including Hope. Didn’t care for how the MC was portrayed and how that all played out. I still can’t understand the reason one character did a 180.

Really wished we had more scenes with Wyatt. He’s an entertaining little dude.

Nathan..... boy was he an ass for most of the story.

Dylan.....one word... blackmailed????????????

Hope.... really liked her character. Definitely one that needed her HEA.

Ryan..... he’s actually a really great guy. Behind Austin, he seems like the most mature at the moment!!

I wish the birth had happened earlier in the story. Really like reading about these bad ass guys taking care of little babies.

I liked this book more than the first one in the series. Ryan has grown up a lot after seeing himself on the reality show about and him and brothers. He proved to be an amazing hero and provided the heart of this story. Hope is a less fully developed character which kept the focus on how sweet and supportive Ryan is as they grappled with an unplanned pregnancy. I still dislike the family dynamics between the Burns brothers but luckily there were fewer scenes of their idiotic bickering.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

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.

The Burns are HOT! Archer's Motorcycle novels rev the reader with great characters and romance. The First Burns Brothers was BUILD- This one also was a winner but does not have to be read to enjoy FAST! When eyes meet and can't be forgotten the chemistry blooms no matter the bumps in the road. Daughter of the President of the tough motorcycle club West Coast Kings; Hope meets Motorcycle builder Ryan Burns. No matter how past events can overshadow the trust needed for a relationship these two find comfort in each others' embrace. "A copy of this book was provided by NetGalley with no requirement for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

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.

Ryan is just the sweetest man, “want to join me on the balcony while I grill these up? Is chicken okay? I should’ve probably asked, but I didn’t know what you’d like. Can’t go wrong with chicken though. Right? Unless that wouldn’t sit well with your stomach? Do you want something else?” Ryan doesn't really like to ask, "Ryan snorted. “There’s no asking here. You’re doing it.” I liked this book, I loved Ryan.

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.
