Move the Sun
Lilli Accardo moves to the dying town of Signal Bend, Missouri, where the citizens have made a devil’s bargain to stay afloat.

Action, sex, and drama ensue as Isaac and Lilli try to navigate the rocky terrain between trust and threat.
Note: explicit sex and violence.

About the author
Susan Fanetti
84 books1,417 followersI was born and raised in the Midwest, but I was transplanted into the dusty soil of Northern California and have apparently taken root there. An inveterate geek and gamer, I am a fan of many things considered pop culture and maybe even lowbrow.
As a reader, my favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy, but as a writer, I've found my home in romance--or perhaps it's better to say simply "love stories." I have a yen to try other genres, too, at some point, but for now my muse wants to tell stories about lovers and families.
I write for the joy of it, and I write stories that I want to read. If others like them, too, that's just the cherry on top. I’m not interested in rules and formulae. I follow my muse and my characters and let them take me where they want to go, wherever that might be. I like big emotions, dark and light.
I like complicated characters with flaws and weaknesses as well as strengths, and I like each character’s strengths and weaknesses to be different from those of other characters. I’m much more concerned that my characters be interesting and diverse than that they be widely considered to be likable. I try to create people, not types.
Likewise, I want my stories each to be distinct from the others. Once I’ve told a story, I don’t want to tell it again. So even within a series, one of my books might be very different from the next. Some might be very dark, others equally mild.
That isn’t to say there aren’t trends and recurrences in my work. I’m drawn to certain themes and settings, and my muse has her favorite toys and tools. But I guard against those tendencies becoming a formula.

Well-worn black engineer boots. Dark straight-leg Levis. Black button-down shirt, folded back on his arms and open at the throat. Leather cuffs. Leather kutte. Black Ray-Bans. He looked like Mr. June in the Harley biker Beefcake calendar
Yeah, yeah, I hear you say, “another biker book”! Yes, it was a biker book but so much more. I cannot believe I got this gem of a book FREE back in December. As with nearly ALL my free books, they stay on my kindle… usually never seeing the light of day again. Not this one!
Women with big purses freaked him out. What the fuck was so important they had to carry a damn suitcase with them everywhere they went?
This was the story of Isaac and Lilli. Lilli arrives in town, she catches the eye of Isaac, who is the President of the local Motorcycle Club. But this story was not out to shock me. I do think a lot of the MC books like to throw in the shock factor, the gritty scenes… Granted there were some gritty scenes here but not like some of the other books I read.
"Fuck, you have a great cock," she whispered.
I don’t want to say much as I think you should just go and read it without knowing too much about it. There is an instant attraction between Isaac and Lilli. I think Lilli must be one of the strongest heroines I have read about. She knew what she wanted and she took no shit from anyone.
"Jesus, you’re prickly. No. It means I know I like you more than just a fuck. I think there’s something happening here. I think you feel it too. I want to play that out a little."
As I said I don’t want to say much. Yes, Lilli is hiding something, yes there are background stories that all intermingle. Great book, look forward to the next in the series.
EVEN SWEET, THOUGH, HE STILL MADE HER SCREAM

“The love which moves the sun and the other stars.”
I have so many trusted friends who love Susan Fanetti and this series, so I knew I needed to read it. When I saw the author was attending a signing near me this summer, I knew I needed to bump it up on my TBR. I'm so happy I did. It's been a while since I've read a biker book this good. It hooked me from the start, and now that I'm invested, I want to read allllll the books in this series!
When Lilli enters the small town of Signal Bend, she's on a mission. The last thing she's looking for is a man. But then she sees Isaac. Isaac is the President of the local MC and I think it's fair to say they both catch each others eye right away. There is a pull between them and their chemistry is undeniable. Even though neither one of them are 'relationship' people, they can't stay away.
Move the Sun is different from the normal MC book in a lot of ways. It's deeper. As much as I loved our biker Isaac, Lilli completely stole the show for me. Talk about a bad ass heroine! She shocked me more than once and I just loved her!
This is one of those books that I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to read. It's gritty, suspenseful, action packed, and super hot. It's also very well written. I can't wait to read more from this author and I'm jumping in to book 2 straight away.

4 f@ck-me-rough stars. Review completed March 31, 2014
When an attractive yet mysterious woman rents a place in Signal Bend, Isaac Lunden, President of the Night Horde Motorcycle Club, casts an eye at the sexy woman when she turns up at a town's dive. They share a meal together, have some 'fun' in the form of a little brawl and continue to have some more fun between the sheets. From an economical point, Signal Bend is a very crisis-ridden town and Lilli moving here stirs up some interesting questions. Isaac is more than willing to combine the sexy pleasure with the serious matter.
This goes both ways, though. Isaac amazes Lilli too. He's a bearded badass biker hunk, incredibly tall, ripped, broad-shouldered with very long and thick hair with a penchant for and if I hadn't fallen for him already I would have when I knew that his hands are not only good to bring tough Lilli to screaming orgasms, but he also knows how to To top everything off, Isaac is a very well-read man. Me likey. Very much so.
Not so long ago I've had a chat with my friend Kels and she was talking about how much fun she's had by reading Susan Fanetti's Signal Bend series. After having experienced another train wreck together with my friend and buddy reader Glamdring, we were both in dire need of a good read. We decided to give this series a shot and I must say it was worth my time and money! Yowza. I'm back in a very good place and I'm positive that some good reads lay ahead of me in the foreseeable future.
I liked Lilli very much. She was right up my alley because she's the opposite of an idiotic and screeching biker babe. Lilli is used to give as good as she gets and then some. She's a very well-educated, polylingual and strong woman who has nothing much to lose anymore. She's quite experienced sexually but not so much in the matters of the heart and hasn't settled down yet. She sure as heck hadn't expected that to happen when she set foot in Signal Bend for the first time, though. But things never turn out the way you expect anyway. I must say that I was more than a little bit thrilled when I knew more about Lilli's background and realized what a badass chick this woman is. Lilli
Move the Sun is a fast-paced and very engaging read that provides lots of sex (a bit too much for my tastes actually); it is funny in places and rather gritty and violent in others. A couple scenes made me wince, i.e. Isaac is honestly not my kind of fun but I've got to deal with it. Bikers are no angels, after all. Friendly heads up, the f@cks are definitely on the rougher side, but as long as both parties love to play it wild all is fine. Anyway, they are real good at what they're doing and might achieve to rev up your libido as well. Mission accomplished, right? In consequence, smut lovers will get their money's worth, but also those readers who enjoy a good story will most likely end up pleased.
Bottom line
Move the Sun combines the hot as fuck sex with a hot as fuck hunk of a hero and a sexy and tough as fuck heroine and a really well-developed storyline. Satisfaction guaranteed. Pun intended.
Go read it!

Isaac is more than willing to combine the sexy pleasure with the serious matter.
"Are you asking me on a date? Won't the town gossips have a field day?"
"Baby, they started hearing wedding bells when they saw us at Marie's. I'm not known to feed my fucks. There's nothing we could do to stir them up more--unless I knock you up, which I have no intention of doin'.
"I think we're getting to know each other in the important ways first." He lifted her hand to his mouth for a kiss. His lips still brushing the back of her hand, he said. "You amaze me, Lilli. I'm not afraid to say I'm gettin' caught up here."
This goes both ways, though. Isaac amazes Lilli too. He's a bearded badass biker hunk, incredibly tall, ripped, broad-shouldered with very long and thick hair with a penchant for and if I hadn't fallen for him already I would have when I knew that his hands are not only good to bring tough Lilli to screaming orgasms, but he also knows how to To top everything off, Isaac is a very well-read man. Me likey. Very much so.
"I'm not gonna fuck you, baby. I'm gonna move you. Let me. Let me have you."
She spread her legs, and the cool eddied over her tender flesh. Closing her eyes, she let the water take her, her hair loose and swirling softly around her.
"Jesus fuck, you feel good," he breathed. She didn't say anything. She was too wrapped up in the amazing feel of this night, of him sliding inside her. Moaning, she tipped her head back, and he latched on, suckling at her throat, then kissing along her shoulder where the surface of the lake lapped at her.

4 Stars
I love you, Sport. You're it for me. You fill up a space in me I didn't even know was empty.
I'll keep this short and sweet. I'm a sucker for a good biker book, and the good ones are few and far between. There's a lot of imitation and lackluster reads, so I've stopped getting my hopes up when reading a new MC series.
This is why this book came as such a pleasant surprise, considering I got it as an Amazon freebie back in December. I got my biker fix, and a verra steamy one at that.
I loved how kick-ass the heroine was, it's not often that's done right. The sex scenes were plenty and smoking hot, and the story gripped me from the prologue. My only quibble is that it felt stretched out. I am not a big fan of a single couple being the focus of a series as I tend to grow bored with the story. But I'm definitely interested enough in this one to continue with the series, so I suppose that says something. If you're wondering about a HEA .
So if you're looking for a steamy and well written MC book filled with action, suspense, and plenty of dirty talk between a hot biker and a kick ass and I really mean Kick Ass heroine, then definitely give this one a try.

4.5--Why Did I Wait So Long To Read This--Stars!!!
This is definitely one of my most favorite MC books/series...and I can't wait to read more about Issac and Lilli and the other Horde members.
First and foremost...Lilli was a
One of my most favorite heroines ever.
And Isaac was
He was the perfect mix of sweet and asshole. He wasn't afraid to go after what he wanted and he was honest about how he felt about Lilli from the get-go.
The sex in this book....OH. MY. JEEBUS. It was HOT!
Lilli is new to Signal Bend...she's blown in with her fancy car, and unassuming looks...and Isaac immediately takes notice.
Signal Bend is his town. And no one moves in to Signal Bend.
There's an immdediate attraction between Isaac and Lilli. And as the story progresses we're given bits and pieces as to why Lilli is in Signal Bend.
I don't want to give away anything about the story. But I loved both Isaac and Lilli. I loved how their relationship grew and they learned to trust each other. There was no unnecessary, immature drama. Just two people whose paths crossed, that fell in love when they weren't looking for it or expecting it.
This was more of a HFN type ending, I suppose. There was no cliffie.
But there are some parts of the plot that are left unresolved (Issac and Lilli's story continues in Behold the Stars). Move the Sun was more about Lilli and her past, while the next book focuses more on Isaac and the Night Horde Motorcycle Club.
Definitely recommend for any MCs lovers out there!

"...sh*tstorm threatening to become a tsunami."I've been asked how this book compares to the Undeniable series. Undeniable is a total mindf*ck. It reminds me of the TV show SOA. I love the Undeniable series and I love Move The Sun. The Night Horde MC is a milder version of SOA. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of dirty sex and fights to make it a worthy MC book.

★★★★ 4 Stars!
"L'amor che muove il sole e l'altre stelle."
"The love which moves the sun and the other stars."
Move the Sun was a fun, fast-paced, action-filled, hot, original story that I very much enjoyed reading. I love a good biker book, especially when they're done right, and this one was right up my alley. But Move the Sun was so much more than "just" another biker book. It has a solid varied plot that constantly kept me on the edge of my seat, a amazingly strong, feisty no-nonsense heroine and let's not forget - a bossy, controlling, sexy biker alpha male.
When Lilli Accardo moves to the small town of Signal Bend, Missouri she immediately gathers the attention of the entire town. Why would a 33 year old city girl move to a dying town in the middle of nowhere? What nobody knows, but what many people suspect, is that she's there on a mission. One that might possibly endanger the rest of the town which is why the town's protective guard and their charismatic leader Isaac Lunden has decided to keep a close eye on her...
Isaac Lunden is the president of the Night Horde MC and unofficial authority figure in and around Signal Bend. He's the kind of guy who doesn't get attached and who enjoys his freedom and independency when it comes to women and relationships. In the bedroom, he's as raw and dirty as they come and Lilli has no problem keeping up with him. Beneath his rough exterior though - he has a soft and caring heart and the combination of those two aspects constantly made me either swoon or fan myself.
While Isaac and Lilli are slowly but surely getting to know each other better, the town of Signal Bend is under the attack of a vicious crime lord and the constant pressure to sell their properties and their lifelong homes so that crime can become it's sole resident there. The people of Signal Bend all depend on the power and protection of the Night Horde and it's up to Isaac to fight to protect their beloved home town.
"Who do they want you to be?"
"A fucking savior."
"I don't know, love. I think maybe you saved me."
I will not say much more about the rest of the storyline. Just know that there is never a dull moment throughout the entire story and that there's a perfect combination of action/suspense and romance. Also, there's no cliffhanger.
If you're in the mood for a "real", raw, gritty, sexy MC book, look no further - this book has it all! The MC's are wonderful together, they have the best chemistry and a strong solid connection (which is needed with all the chaos going on around them). I can't wait to read more about them and the rest of the Night Horde members in the rest of this series! :D
"You astound me."

”Welcome to Signal Bend!”
[image error]
Lilli Accardo moves to Signal Bend, Missouri for ‘work’ purposes. She has all sorts of plans but what she didn’t plan for is falling for the town’s motorcycle club president. Things get tricky when Lilli’s mission and Isaac’s attraction and curiosities collide. These two are powerhouses in their own right but together made one kick ass couple.
”A man pays what he owes.”
Isaac and Lilli were off the charts hot together (loved the yoga mat/tree scene). Lilli is a great tough heroine, while Isaac won me over from the first page. I really loved the way he carried himself and put his feelings out there from the beginning. I also love his hobby and those show scenes.
”That wasn’t sex talk, Lilli. I’m tellin’ you I love you. Don’t make a fuss. Just sayin’ what I feel.”
As for the big picture of what is coming to town it will definitely have readers one clicking book two of the series to see what happens next. Overall this is a good biker book that gifted readers a strong, loyal and wonderful President to back and a small town to protect.

What a ride.
What a writer.
This story is wonderful!
Move the Sun is a story about honesty, loyalty, trust and the truth. It's an MC tale so, as one would expect, its raw in places and that rawness got me right in the feels. It has one of the best prologues I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading... The author totally sucked me in and cleverly made my emotions flow for Lili, the heroine. I felt sympathy, angst and heartache. How does one get through life after experiencing that kind of trauma?
Lili moves to the small town of Signal Bend, home to Isaac's MC Brothers. There's an element of mystery, as to who she is and why she's there, which makes Lili even more alluring and, of course, there's a whole load of chemistry going on.... raw sexual want and desire.
Isaac is the MC President and most influential man in town. He takes his duty as town protector extremely seriously... He's powerful, intelligent and as tough, hard and brutal as MC's come... He’s, “…the complete package.”
In terms of appearance Isaac wouldn't be my go-to kind of guy with his long hair and beard but boy does Susan Fanetti make him completely appealing in every way. She writes Isaac’s physicality in a stunning manner giving him immense book presence. His introduction gave me the book tingles, I fell in lust with him... “She couldn’t recall the last time she’d been so viscerally attracted to another human being.” ....and then I fell in love. I felt their intense attraction to each other….. The way Lili describes him, through her eyes and in her thoughts is so enticing and creates the most charismatic picture. The sexy tantalizing descriptions of how they touch each other, hold and explore each other are delectable.
There first kiss is gorgeous.
There's an undeniable attraction that smolders on the page. I love their banter, their, "...verbal sparring," and the sex is wow! Hard. Erotic... sometimes rough, always passionate and so very, very lovely. They're both insatiable. I felt the equality in their fucking. She is thoroughly his match in EVERY way and, more importantly, he is hers
There's no frills or drama for the sake of it It's naturalistic... There's character driven motivation in every detail, making them honest and tangible in their thoughts, words and actions. I love the way Isaac's musings are slightly broken at times. It gives an authentic vibe. It's as intense as it's subtle and the story constantly evolves in terms of the characters, plot and emotion.... Susan Fanetti's writing is perfect for me; she keeps it totally real and authentic. I could feel the emotion, see the happenings and hear the characters; it was like watching a movie. Her writing bombards the senses.
The small town mentality is completely evident. We get to meet the other MC Brothers who I know feature in their own story... I'm looking forward to becoming further acquainted with each and every one of them.
The way the story is structured, the telling of it with interludes is just perfection. They give the story provenance, show layers, depth and history, ultimately providing credible reason for everything the character's do. They take the reader to times in Lili’s life that directly affect her existence and current plans…. The interludes are enlightening and gripping and move the story forward in a totally captivating way. And the Oh-My-Goodness of the story comes at EXACTLY the right moment.
Move the Sun has the perfect dose of intrigue added to a mix of emotion and erotic love…. It made my mind work over time... How did it all connect?
There's a moment between the hero and heroine that moved me to tears, the words, the emotion, the feelings that this author emotes with her characters and words is spectacular. I watched as Lili and Isaac devoured each other and evolved as people. The one unsolved mystery for me is why the average rating for this story is not higher? I cannot for the life of me fathom it. For me it's an outstanding read and moves this author into the automatic buy category. I highly recommend to all those seeking an MC book with truth in the telling and soul in the characters.

5 -By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars - Stars
Boy did this book blow me away. I have had several people tell me that I must this series. Well, my dear friend Jxxx won this book in a contest and she bequeathed it to me as she is in the UK. So together we started out our BR and we discovered together the amazing and phenomenal writing of Susan Fanetti.
I am not much on motorcycle club books but this one is fantastic. The heroine and hero are incredible. Isaac, President of Night Horde MC and Lilli, a woman with secrets, are a breathtaking couple; strong, feisty, sexy.....they can hold their own with each other. I love that they are both powerful in their own right. Lilli is one of the most fascinating heroines I have read about. Her strength and her commitment to her secret are inspiring and she can protect herself like nobody's business. Isaac is a powerful leader and protector. He cares and loves his Club and will not let anyone try to take them down. His strength, his swagger, his commitment makes him one sexy man. Their intense chemistry is way beyond the charts- the sex these two have is earth shaking.....(I couldn't put a gif that really showed their explosion for fear I would get flagged)
It's hard to really review this book as there are secrets and discoveries and you should read in order to find them out. Telling you would spoil but I will say that from the beginning, Ms Fanetti sucks you in. This story has intrigue, suspense, great verbal bantering, and hot sex. The way the story unfolds will keep you completely immersed. Lilli shows up in Signal Bend, Missouri, renting a house. There is nothing going on in this dried up town but it's protected by the Night Horde Motorcycle Club. Isaac is the President of the club and he knows all that goes on in his town. From the moment he saw Lilli, there was something, they just clicked. The way their relationship develops is so real and honest. There is no unnecessary drama-the story is rich and deep and full of emotion. I loved getting to see them come together as a couple despite Lilli's secret. I loved how they both learned to trust one another and take a chance. I definitely can't wait to continue their story with the next book in the series.
I must thank Irene and TeriLyn for adding another author to my favorite list. ♥♥♥
Boy did this book blow me away. I have had several people tell me that I must this series. Well, my dear friend Jxxx won this book in a contest and she bequeathed it to me as she is in the UK. So together we started out our BR and we discovered together the amazing and phenomenal writing of Susan Fanetti.
I am not much on motorcycle club books but this one is fantastic. The heroine and hero are incredible. Isaac, President of Night Horde MC and Lilli, a woman with secrets, are a breathtaking couple; strong, feisty, sexy.....they can hold their own with each other. I love that they are both powerful in their own right. Lilli is one of the most fascinating heroines I have read about. Her strength and her commitment to her secret are inspiring and she can protect herself like nobody's business. Isaac is a powerful leader and protector. He cares and loves his Club and will not let anyone try to take them down. His strength, his swagger, his commitment makes him one sexy man. Their intense chemistry is way beyond the charts- the sex these two have is earth shaking.....(I couldn't put a gif that really showed their explosion for fear I would get flagged)

Four holy hotness biker stars! Move on over fellow biker books, there's a new biker series in town. Move the Sun has all the great elements of an MC-based book...hot biker guys, tough as nails club politics, a strong heroine, and hot hot steamy sex scenes.
Move the Sun doesn't waste much time heating up the pages. Isaac, president of Night Horde MC Club, spots the new chic in town immediately. It's his job to know everything that goes on in his town so it takes little time to get the info. on her...which isn't much. She's got some serious information walls protecting her past. Even his IT guy can't get past it. Isaac will just have to go to the source.
Lilli has had a pretty tragic past, enduring the loss of both parents and her nonna...finding two of the three. She's coming to Signal Bend, a no-man town, on a top security project for her "job." She doesn't need anyone nosing around but this Isaac is hard to resist...and will definitely make being "low on the radar" difficult. Seems he runs the town more than the police.
This wasn't a case of complete insta-love but they clicked from the start physically. It sucked you in early on...with feelings following suit.
I really enjoyed this read. Writing was good, editing virtually flawless. It kept my interest and the heat in it was...ah. Really nice. My only beef with the story was a huge event towards the end being rather "breezed" over. It was pretty much the climax of the story and parts just weren't addressed in its resolution. It's vague but a total spoiler if I explain more. Don't click if you've not read the book.
This is a series and it appears the next book is the same characters. Looking forward to more from this author.

"You amaze me Lilli. I'm not afraid to say I'm gettin' caught up here."
I. Loved. This. Book.
This was my kind of MC book. It didn't try so damn hard to be badass. This is the mature, older brother badass biker book to the petulant little brother biker book with little man syndrome. These guys have a certain code of honor and respect for people other than themselves. Sure, there's a certain level of skank going on but that's life. It happens everywhere.
These guys have actual lives and like to live them. It reminded me of Sons of Anarchy more than other MC books I've read. That's a good thing for me. The club helps with drug running, but keep it out of their town. Many of the guys are family men. Many of them grew up in this small Missouri farming town and are content to stay there.
Lilli...with less makeup/tattoos. She is a complete and total badass and if I liked girls, I'd be all over that.
Lilli is alone in the world. She's been wronged in many ways but her purpose in life right now is to right one of those wrongs. Vigilante mission? Oh, yeah. Can she handle it? Bet your ass!
To put it mildly, Lilli effing rocks. She's confident and beautiful but doesn't really care. She's not prissy and pissy. She's ex army and feels comfortable in her own skin. She's absolutely PERFECT for Isaac.
"You don't do the lime and salt thing, huh?"
"Not unless I'm looking for attention at a bar..." and those of us who have read this know just how hilarious that sassy comment is because Freaking cracked me up!
Isaac...MC prez, badass enough to handle Lilli, a nice guy underneath it all...
"He looked like Mr. June in the Harley Biker Beefcake calendar..."
The best part of this book is how these two complement each other. The flat out fit, in every way imaginable...in the bedroom in particular, but also having random conversations, you see just how well they mesh. This town is really small, and everyone knows everyone. Lilli's arrival doesn't go unnoticed.
"Are you asking me on a date? Won't the town gossips have a field day?"
"Baby, they started hearing wedding bells when they saw us at Marie's. I'm not known to feed my fucks."
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
Some favorite quotes:
♦♦ "Damn, Sport. I don't want to sound all flowery, but I don't think I've ever had a fuck like that before. You're somethin' else."
♦♦ "At least try it. I promise you won't turn into a vegetarian if one meal doesn't have an animal in it."
He pulled his plate back. "Yeah, something tells me this is a gateway sandwich."
♦♦ "You're it for me. You fill up a space in me I didn't even know was empty."
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦���♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
Anyone who is hesitant about MC books...I AM TOO! But this is good stuff. There is ROMANCE EVERYWHERE, people. Even badasses love someone, even in real life! So yay on the romance and don't even get me started on the sex. Blow your head off sex, ROUGH and DIRTY and so hot. Lilli is a wildcat and not afraid to show that side of herself. We should all take lessons, for real. There's some suspense, some blood and action, a really fantastic plot but also a series arc that leaves you wondering about the next story. I highly recommend this book!

4.7 Stars - Stunning captivating, touching and romantic — this one "got" me
'Signal Bend' is a m/f MC (bikers) series I've curiously peeked at for a while. Felt good to at last start this first installment to see if these could be MC-books in my (delicate picky) taste. ~ Karen, Mo and many friends with them, loved this one (and some of the other parts) so why not try it.
Wow, Hurrah, Yay!!
Move the Sun was just PERFECT for this crancy Swedish Lady. I drank in every word, and just want more from Lilli & Isaac's interesting —but scary— world. Looking forward to pick up book #2 - Behold the Stars, the continuing sequel.
*********************************************************
Signal Bend, Missouri, U.S...
Stories set in a small Midwestern town called Signal Bend about the members in the 'Night Horde Motorcycle Club'. This series (7 books) opener Move The Sun is the introduction to the towns newcomer Lillian 'Lilli' Accardo's and the club president Isaac 'Ike' Lunden's grand love-story.
A yummy breathtaking lovely biker MAN...
...some hot, steamy but so very tender love...
...and a tough incredible heroine Woman.
*********************************************************
What to say? Why...?!?
First of all: this novel has a intriguing storyline, a interesting topic and a great thrilling plot. You don't get "it" all to start with. You have to wait, discover and get piece by piece. In some ways predictable (the romance) in other not at all (the plot and twists).
Maybe not intense but kind of moldering emotional.
It's hard to say why but this story felt slightly different (compared with many other m/f CR) with it's own style, way of telling. Quietly dramatic without being overly melodramatic (thanks for that!!). No what ever to be compared to any silly cheesy romances stuff. Instead a bit rough and thrilling exiting.
Best of all (you have all heard me nagging about it over and over before..): I'm not a young girl myself and I ADORE those great contemporary romances with mature grownup adult characters - like in this one (~ 33 and 38). ~ Thanks for that! ~ I always want my sweet heart wrenching stuff too, and this is rough and raw in parts but also so very awesome romantic and freaking intense HOT. You could feel their connection.
Lilli: A mysterious heroine to admire. So far from an damsel in distress a romance heroine could be. It was good to wonder most about the heroine instead of the other way around. She is a anmazing, but shadowy character it took time to get a grip on. She both has a high independence and strong self-confidence about herself and her desires. ~ Lilli (Sport) is doubtless the kind of interesting heroine I like to meet more often.
Isaac: A tough guy but also the most tender and lovely biker man you can imagine. I loved, LOVED, this yummy wonderful man from the very first page. ~ Isaac is the kind of manly sexy MAN hero I prefer (need, want, love..) in m/f romances.
A thrilling, gripping story... for me. Yay!
Just a wonderful good m/f read. This will be a great adventure to continue. We didn't get a annoying unfair cliffy here —we have them in a quite nice place— but life (or the all over plot) isn't solved. I just NEED to really soon get to know what's up next for the 'Night Horde' boys and these unforgettable lovebirds. ~

A yummy breathtaking lovely biker MAN...
‘He was leaning back against the steps, his hands linked across his chest, his legs outstretched and crossed at the ankles. Damn, he was big. And not hard at all to look at.
Well-worn black engineer boots. Dark straight-leg Levis. Black button-down shirt, folded back on his arms and open at the throat. Leather cuffs. Leather kutte. Black Ray-Bans. He looked like Mr. June in the Harley Biker Beefcake calendar.’
...some hot, steamy but so very tender love...

‘She wanted it rough; she always wanted it rough. But Isaac found that he was too overwhelmed by love and too haunted by the fear of losing her to be anything but sweet right now, to this woman who’d found a place in his heart he hadn’t known was there.

4.5 MC, Love, Saviors & Duty Stars
"L' amor che muove il sole e l'altre stelle."
In the sleepy town of Signal Bend nothing really changes...
Isaac as the president of the Night Horde MC has a duty towards his brothers and his town. Serve and protect. Uphold the law, defend and make whatever he has, illegal or not to keep them safe and well.
An honorable man, a talented artist, a biker that doesn't afraid. He knows violence and he does what needs to be done. Until a stranger in his town will threaten the bonds between the brotherhood and his heart.
Lilli is a woman of many secrets, layers and nightmares. Familiar with tragedy a true loner with a strong sense of honor and duty. Lethal and tormented, she needs vengeance to claim the peace that eludes her. Coming to town seemed easy but she wasn't expecting a biker to stand with her and steal her heart.
Together will set the sheets on fire and come to realise that will have to fight together and make a stand against what threatens them. Now, if they only manage to survive it...
Holy cow.... That was awesome! Sexy, dangerous, mysterious, it hooked right from the heartbreaking prologue right until the promising finale. It reminded me of the good ol' Linda Howard books that I used to devour back in my late teens, with a biker twist. Strong, determined heroine; awesome, powerful hero with a huge dash of steam and love.
Move the Sun is an intriguing story that keeps you on your toes and steals a piece of your heart. Well-adjusted characters, multi-layered plot, it's kinda unique and easy to read. Suspenseful and so damn sexy, it won't disappoint you and you will become invested in Isaac & Lilli's relationship and if you are a bit like me you will start the next immediately!

5 ultimate biker book STARS
Move the Sun was utterly perfect and I'm in awe. I know what you think...not another biker book, but I swear this one is different. Seriously!
The latest conquest on my biker-book-bender was a full on surprise, a success and downright amazeballs. You don't get those very often.
When I first read the blurb my head went all damsel in distress, on the run from the big evil and hell...I couldn't have been more wrong if I'd tried. It's not like the others and I'm so grateful that I finally gave it a try.
This is the story of Lilli and Isaac. She is the mysterious new girl, who right away catches the eyes of the local bad boy and leader of the Motorcycle Club.
You see, Signal Bend is in the middle of nowhere, people don't move in...they usually just run of there. So it isn't strange that the pretty dark haired lady, with a proclivity for too short running attire raises eyebrows and most definitely warrants a check-up ...really a full body search... by one very curious biker.
Simple enough, right? Ahhhh, but this one has a twist and I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it is highly entertaining and sexy and pretty original as far as biker book plots go.
Lilli Accardo is an amazing character and heroin. She is cool, calculated, not much can shock her and she is as far from a naïve little girl as one could possibly get. But that's just window dressing; she has secrets, big secrets and I was biting my nails trying to figure it all out.
And of course while keeping all those secrets and playing all mysterious and such, a girl can always dabble in a little 'something' with a gorgeous man.
I especially liked how Ms. Fanetti neatly wove in some flashbacks to create a bigger picture for us to see what happened in Lilli's past and what ultimately lead her to this town. It's not a coincidence that she is here and you bet your ass that woman has an ulterior motive.
Also, the same day Lilli appears in Signal Bend trouble within the community and the clubs business dealings arises. Coincidence? Well, who knows? Curious? Most definitely.
Isaac Lunden is the president of Night Horde MC Club. For Signal Bend he is the law and order, without him and his club there wouldn't be a town left. Signal Bend is for all intents and purposes a dead town and the only things that keep the lights on are the illegal dealings of the Horde. He loves his town and his people and he will do just about anything to protect them.
Yup, he has a lot on his plate and when Lilli walks into his town he is highly suspicious and well...horny, really. Ever since their first meeting these two have some insane chemistry and they are very much in tune with each other, even though they can't explain why.
Suffice it to say that Lilli is Isaac’s match in every sense of the word. She is one tough cookie and these two strong willed characters don't do anything halfway. They even challenge each other in bed, bargaining for their pleasure and it's the most fun I've had reading in while.
Mmmmmh, Lilli and Isaac are a pretty fun couple. They don't do bullshit. They both know what they want and they take it. No questions asked...deal with truth and consequences later if you will.
But beside the obvious relationship storyline, Ms. F. created a very rich world with real characters and interesting history, a very complex world and a well thought out plot.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a non-annoying kick-ass heroine, hotter than hell biker shenanigans, sweet romance and occasionally a rough ride. Pun most definitely intended!
Can't wait to read the next one!
**Thanks for the fabulous BR, Suzanne and Stephanie!! ;D

”I don’t know any other woman like you—as strong as you, or as smart. You make me stronger. It’s when we’re not working together that we’re weaker. We make a good team. We fill each other out. We fit. I feel that. Do you?”

I ❤ Isaac
I ❤ Lilli
I really haven’t read all that many MC books but something about this series caught my eye. I read a few review for Move the Sun and others within this series and though there appears to be some grittiness about them, they also had a bit of a different vibe to them.
Move the Sun was an amazing story. It was lsaac and Lilli’s story and I LOVED it.
Lilli shows up in Signal Bend, Missouri. Being a stranger in town, she catches the eye of just about everyone, including Isaac who is the President of the local Motorcycle Club. Lilli has her reasons for being in town, ones that she keeps to herself. Lilli is a lot of things. She is beautiful and sexy. She is also very strong willed and independent.
Isaac was more than just your badass biker. He was a protector. Seeing Lilli stirred something within him that he wasn’t expecting. The attraction was instant. He knew what he wanted with Lilli but he also knew Lilli had secrets.
What unfolds between these two was sexy and hot as hell. Isaac and Lilli just fit perfectly together. Their desires for each other were intense. Each giving the other exactly what they needed.
❤Under the Oak Tree❤
“Ah, Christ. Do you know how fucking good you feel on me? So damn tight and soft, holding me in. I love the way you smell, the way you taste. I love the sounds you make. Fuck, baby, I love you.”
As Lilli’s secrets come to the surface and other things within the MC comes to a head things start to get intense for everyone. Watching Isaac instinctively protect Lilli made my heart do funny things and I loved watching Lilli slowly give pieces of herself to Isaac.
“I really love you, Sport. You’re it for me. You fill up a space in me I didn’t even know was empty.”
If you love MC books you will absolutely love Move the Sun and I would have to assume the rest of this series!
I ❤ Lilli
I really haven’t read all that many MC books but something about this series caught my eye. I read a few review for Move the Sun and others within this series and though there appears to be some grittiness about them, they also had a bit of a different vibe to them.
Move the Sun was an amazing story. It was lsaac and Lilli’s story and I LOVED it.
Lilli shows up in Signal Bend, Missouri. Being a stranger in town, she catches the eye of just about everyone, including Isaac who is the President of the local Motorcycle Club. Lilli has her reasons for being in town, ones that she keeps to herself. Lilli is a lot of things. She is beautiful and sexy. She is also very strong willed and independent.
Isaac was more than just your badass biker. He was a protector. Seeing Lilli stirred something within him that he wasn’t expecting. The attraction was instant. He knew what he wanted with Lilli but he also knew Lilli had secrets.
What unfolds between these two was sexy and hot as hell. Isaac and Lilli just fit perfectly together. Their desires for each other were intense. Each giving the other exactly what they needed.

5 ASTOUNDING STARS
I love biker stories and yes, like many of you, I’ve read A LOT of MC stories. But, I gotta say, I’m putting this book among the top of the heap.
It was a captivating read. I've read other really good biker books and while I was riveted and loving it, I felt like I was watching it all unfold through the window; I wasn't in the thick of it. Not this book. IMO, Ms. Fanetti's writing style draws you in. I felt like this was my story, like I was there in Signal Bend. And Lilli, Isaac and the others, were my people.
LILLI ACCARDO
“She was something special, something to behold. Something dangerous.”
Lilli is an amazing heroine!! There are very few like her. Susan Fanetti creates wonderfully, amazing female characters that kick-ass!! Lilli is smart, brave, strong and knows what she wants and knows just how to get it.
ISAAC LUNDEN
“Fuck, the man was all elemental sex.”
Isaac is unlike any other MC president I've read and I freakin' LOVE him!!
And together...Lilli and Isaac have this wild, unbridled, lasting passion.
“I’m not gonna fuck you, baby. I’m gonna move you. Let me. Let me have you.”
“I love you, Sport. You’re it for me. You fill up a space in me I didn’t even know was empty.”
If you like Motorcycle Club stories, kick-ass heroines and hot as f*&k Alpha males, READ THIS BOOK.
This was a Buddy Read with Flo and Stephanie. Thanks girls for joining me on the ride!

I really enjoyed this one. Lilli was a badass lead and Isaac was a drool worthy MC biker. And boy could these two throw down in the bedroom. Throw DOWN.
It was also refreshing to read about a MC biker GANG that actually acts like a GANG. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love me some Kristen Ashley Chaos action, but let's get real people - Tack's MC is a little more rainbows and unicorns and a little less reality. Now I am totally down with pots of gold and mythically horned horse, however, it's also nice to get a little authenticity now and again.
Isaac and his boys drink, smoke weed, and fuck people up. Bring. It. On.
Definitely looking forward to book two.

Needing some space to regroup, I took a ride back to re-discover books and authors that touched me and wouldn't let go. Susan Fanetti has been a solid rock for me.
2021
This was the book that started my love affair with Susan Fanetti. Friends on GR were talking about this amazing new writer and since I valued their opinion, I hopped on board. This series came at a time when MC Clubs were very strong in pop culture, think Sons of Anarchy. Only this series ran much deeper and hit places in the readers more personally. This wasn't a series to take lightly, we never could see what was coming. There were times of amazing joy and times that ripped your heart out causing readers to decide whether to continue. All I can personally say is it was worth it to me and I have been a devoted fan of Ms. Fanetti's writing ever since.

4.5 Disturbing, Incredibly Strong, Character-Driven Stars
* * * * 1/2
In my life, the only contact I have ever had with bikers has been either just seeing them on the road or through film or television. In 2008 a show came on cable... it was raunchy, full of drama, yes... lots of eye candy... but also had real character development and plot. It was Sons of Anarchy. That show was my personal experience... until I started reading all of the MC books that have been out.
I have to say my education has been thorough. I have read all types from Biker Lite to Hardcore. All of the books have given me different concepts of this life; people with the unifying love of freedom and making rules which are held, dear. There are core principals; break these rules and people will pay. The men are strong, Alpha and sometimes have an actual love for their women which develops into a life-changing event.
Move the Sun (Signal Bend#1) by Susan Fanetti was a very special read for me. I knew it was about bikers... but this felt personal. It felt like the author had a real stake in it... like she was telling her life...somehow, at least to me. It had the feel of what has taken place in America; parts of our country becoming more and more isolated due to no employment or industries to support the community. The question is what is the remedy for these people... what does a town do to survive...
This book addresses this perfectly and gives us an understanding of why and how this all happens. But this part of the story provides the background for the real story... the real draw for this book. This book has provided us with an Epic couple... we get the love story of Issac and Lilli.
These two characters, in my opinion, happen to be the most perfectly matched. Both have had life experiences that have groomed them for each other. Issac ... all Alpha, Bearded, huge in stature and has the responsibilities of the town and club placed firmly on his shoulders. His outside maybe be rough but his heart is caring.
Lilli is a woman with strength, purpose and focus beyond compare. She is one of a kind. It is worth reading this book and series just to meet her.
To tell you more about her would take away from your read...
This is a series that needs to read if you have any interest in the biker life. It is not a diluted version; it is gritty, raw and off-color. But it also is humane... there are moments of great sweetness.... like in real life..by people who are not sweet or nice...I just felt all of it rang true and not forced.
This is only the beginning... and if the level of excellence stays the same... then I promise, you will not be disappointed. I know I haven't been.

******10+++ Badass Stars******
MUST READ!!! MUST READ!!! MUST READ!!! MUST READ!!!
I'm a total fan of Motorcycle Club stories; anything I can read, watch and research about the MC lifestyle, I'm all over it... I really mean no disrespect or comparison to other MC books but Move The Sun might be the best one I've ever read in this genre. This book was brilliantly written, the plot was gripping from beginning to end and the characters were strong and compelling. I can't wait to continue reading, good news for me, there's four more books in this series.
Lilli Accardo is the mysterious new woman in town; the day she arrives in the town of Signal Bend she encounters the dangerous Isaac Lunden, president of the Night Horde MC. Lilli is badass and she is far from scared of him, turn on is more what she's feeling towards the man. Isaac and Lillie don't waste time playing games and they are both people who take what they want; and after an explosive night together they simply cant get enough. But there's a lot of secrets hiding, and Isaac's priority is his club and his people, for Lillie is her mission; a personal vendetta that has become her life purpose. Will their interests collide and put them against each other? or will they own up to to the intensity of their feelings and fight the world in order to stay together?
I must be blunt and admit that I have a girl crush on Lilli, she's got to be one the coolest, most clever female character I've read about in a book. While there was angst in the story, it was never over dramatic and this chick handled herself in such an mazing way, every single time. She was successful in more than one way but also humble about it, and I love strong female characters that don't take BS from anybody, Loved her!!
Absolutely terrific novel, brilliantly written. I'm totally hooked! Do yourself a favor and go pick up this book, you will regret not having read it already.

Let me tell you a secret: It’s been a long long time since the last book where I loved both the hero and the heroine!
OK, as far as the hero is concerned, I must admit that I’m not so picky.
But, would you resist?
Isaac
I did not, that’s for sure!
As for Lilli, well I confess I made my mind very early, since this heroine has practically the same name as me, she has Italian origins/family like myself and we share a love for Dante. The Divine Comedy is one of my most favorite classics.
When I tried to picture Lilli while reading the book and for my review, I kept visualizing something like this:
Yep, that’s Lilli!
And then I was naturally in the mood for something like this (biker story and all):
I definitely got this:
And I'm not complaining!
I really loved these characters separately, and then as a couple their chemistry was off the charts! One of the best couples out there, IMO.
But even though I had all this, I’m still missing something. I had higher expectations from the story and the past events that determined these characters and their behaviors, especially regarding Lilli.
Still, it was a very good book that I undoubtedly enjoyed buddy reading along with the awesome C.D. Canaries!

*** 3 STARS***
I liked Move the Sun but I didn't love it...
Wait, wait, wait, before your start rolling your eyes at me please
Some readers have an aversion to inaccurate language translation,while others loath cultural misconceptions. As a prior service member (hence my sailor mouth) whom spent 8 years collecting "delicate" information, my biggest pet peeve is erroneous military storyline details.
***Contains spoilers. Please don't open until you've read the book -->
....okay, you may roll your eyes to your hearts content.
Now, I would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU to Susan Fanetti for writing one Fan-Fucking -Tastc heroine.
......it's true. Likable heroines are extremely few and far between.....at least for me. I loved Lilli....nuff said.
I enjoyed Issac's character as well. I appreciate the fact that he wasn't your typical uber alpha motor mouth club president . He gets my seal of approval.....but Showdown gets everything else ...yup, I don't know what it is with me and supporting characters but I'm team Showdown.....for now :-)

4.5 This Moved my Sun Stars!
This little gem sat unread on my kindle forever...dummy me! What a fabulous start to what seems to be a great series.
Lilli "Carson" is tough.
She is mysterious beauty who has taken residence in Signal Bend. She has no one, nothing...perhaps this is just a new start.
Isaac Lundan knows "his town." He knows everyone in his town. He knows everyone's business in town.
Now there is this strange beauty that has piqued his interest both mentally and physically. Like any other tough talking, bad ass acting MC prez...he stakes a claim.
Their connection is immediate. Lilli plays no games. She may have her hidden secrets and her own agenda, but he she wants the danger and the intimacy that this bad boy is offering! Oh, and what he offers, and what she takes is beyond amazing!
What happens with Lilli and Isaac is raw, primal, and yet beautiful. Both have secrets, both have issues, but one thing is for sure, they have found an unlikely partnership with one another. They have found a comfort and real connection...a need to "be" with someone for the first time in ages.
I love this story. I love the sensuality and the erotic nature of their relationship. I loved the mystery and the hidden danger and violence. What I loved the most though, is the way this author made the big and bad fall in love without losing the "big and the bad." Reading Isaac and Lilli's progression was amazing. The chemistry was hot, the communication was open and honest, and the overall future looks promising. Somehow, I don't think it will be HEA just yet!!!

I absolutely LOVED this book! It has been some time since a book has captured my whole focus from the first page; but this one did that from start to finish! The prologue was intense, and from then I knew I was hooked! "Move the Sun" has got to be one of my top fave MC books out there. Yes, it is dark at times; but not to the point where it over powers the whole book. There is just as much romance, but it isn't your "la-dee-da" flowery kind of romance..It is the primal, hot, and animalistic kind; basically what you would expect from the president of the Motor Cycle club and a woman who is hard core mainly due from her life experiences. This was the first time I had read a Susan Fanetti book, but I will add that this woman knows how to write. I am now officially her reading slave! I will read whatever she writes, and I can't wait to dig into the rest of this Signal Bend series!!
Lilli Accardo is hands down my most favorite heroine out of most of the stories I have read..and that is saying something because I have read thousands of books! This woman is a badass, and she arrives in the town of Signal Bend,Missouri with secrets. She catches the eye of the President of the Night Horde MC; Isaac Lunden immediately when she drives through town in a car that most men drool over! Isaac wastes no time in approaching her, and very quickly he picks up on the vibe that she is surrounded in mystery. He needs to figure out whether or not she is a threat to his club or town, and he decides if she is..then she is going down. Unfortunately though, he wants her in a bad way, and so he takes her; and let me tell you; when these two come together, it is nothing short of a major explosion. These two give angry,primal,animalistic sex a new definition! Holy hell, when they get it on, there is nothing that can pull me away from my Kindle! Wowsa, these two know how to burn up the sheets, and then the next day they are counting their many bruises and scratches, and wondering why they are both limping! I LOVED it! Actually, every scene with the couple in it was awesome. I love them together. My favorite thing about them is how honest they are with one another, and they put all their cards on the table and don't mess around. It is a refreshing change to see the main couple not throwing out all of the drama because they are cheating on each other or bickering. Lilli and Isaac both know what they want and they grab it and hang on with both hands. The only drama in this story is from outside forces, and believe me; it keeps them all on their toes.
All in all, this is a must read for anyone who loves a great biker series! This is going down as my favorite, and move over Sons of Anarchy; there is a new club in town..and they are known as "The Night Horde." I have decided to head right into the next book and get back to Isaac and Lilli to see what else they are up against..One thing is for sure..as long as they have each other; they will remain unstoppable!!! Ms. Fanetti, you are brilliant; and I can't wait to discover what else you have in store for the town of Signal Bend!
Just need to add a thank you to my Buddy Reading partner Steph! I am so glad you joined me in reading this series! Also, happy to have Nicole and Shanna join in too! The more the merrier, oh..and I think Daisy also joined us as well! Great series, and even better Buddies to have to read it with!♥

Move the Sun was a well written, original, hot, biker story. I did struggle a little in the beginning, but once the story got going I really enjoyed it.
"L' amor che muove il sole e l'altre stelle."
The story starts with Lilli arriving in Signal Bend, where she catches the eye of Issac, president of the Night Horde MC club. Lilli is such a kickass heroine. She is tough, honest, and focused. I really liked her. She and Issac share an intense sexual attraction from the start and begin seeing each other. Meaning, lots of rough, hot sex.
But things are complicated for both Lilli and Issac. What is the real reason for Lilli's arrival in Signal Bend and will Issac stand in her way? Issac is dedicated to his club and town, but Lilli awakens feelings he didn't know he had.
“I love you, Sport. You’re it for me. You fill up a space in me I didn’t even know was empty.”
So both characters find themselves in difficult situations. As things heat up fast and feelings grow. Lilli and Issac find themselves torn, in the end where will their loyalties lie?
This one is pretty steamy, Lilli and Issac are off the charts hot. I liked having both Lilli and Issac's POV. There is a bit of insta-love/lust, but I still found the relationship building compelling and didn't take away from the story. I am looking forward to seeing how the series progresses.

I take it back; I like biker books after all. I’ve heard Susan Fanetti’s praises sung over and over so I was eager to read one of her books. Amy (Foxy) suggested I start with this one but I don’t consider myself to be a fan of MC books so I was braced for disappointment. Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! I enjoyed the heck out of this novel.
I honestly think it’s best if you read this book knowing nothing other than what you read in the book blurb. I will say that the story alternates between the present and the protagonist's past. I think I enjoyed the process of discovering Lilli’s motivations more because I went into it blind. I’m one of those pesky readers who can frequently predict the path a plot will take and accurately guess the stupid things a character is about to do. I can see a plot twist coming a mile away and figure out whodunit long before the detectives solve the case. The fact that Lilli’s backstory and intentions weren’t obvious to me is a testament to Susan Fanetti’s writing skills and execution. She also took the sting out my objections to any given character’s actions by addressing them immediately after I raised them. Mad skills I tell you!
Lilli Accardo in three words: focused, sexy, badass. She is, hands down, one of my top five favorite book heroines. There isn’t an ounce of deception in her character. Yes, she is secretive; however, she refuses to lie which makes her a woman of integrity. Lilli is determined and scary smart. She knows what she wants—in bed and in life—and she doesn’t ask for it or even demand it; she just takes it. She’s tough and maybe too hardened but I like her. I want to be her when I grow up.
Isaac Lunden in three words: dependable, sexy, badass. Wait. Did I just describe Lilli? No, but they’re perfect for each other. Isaac is a stereotypical biker dude in many ways. He’s got that whole leather jacket, beard, long hair, outlaw, tough guy thing working for him. He’s also warm, funny, honest, and extremely sensitive. Isaac asking Lilli to talk to him about her feelings took me by surprise yet seems perfectly natural.
Lilli and Isaac together? Can you say, “spontaneous combustion”? These two have hot and dirty sex all over Signal Bend: on the floor, in a public restroom, against the wall, under a tree, in an office, in a lake, on a yoga mat. You get the picture. There’s definitely insta-lust here which normally bugs me but for some reason it works.
I love that in the middle of all the action, suspense, and sexy times there are many moments of humor between the pair.

“Who even came up with a stupid word like falafel? Sounds like a frog with tonsillitis.”Consider me a Fanetti fan. I didn’t have to think twice about rating this book five stars. Isaac and Lilli’s story continues in Behold the Stars.
“It’s Middle Eastern, and you are a being a big baby. At least try it. I promise you won’t turn into a vegetarian if one meal you eat in your life doesn’t have an animal in it.”
He pulled his plate back. “Yeah, something tells me this is a gateway sandwich.”

4 - I Love Hot Bikers
Issac is the president of a local motorcycle club named the Night Horde. His dad was the president and he got put in charge after his dad passed away. (Sidenote: Isaac may not look like this but all the biker pics I found of guys with long hair were nasty and you know Jason Momoa is H-O-T!)
He basically runs Signal Bend, Missouri. So obviously he notices when a new person shows up in town. That new person is Lili. She definitely catches his eye when she shows up in her Camaro SS.
They both have an instant attraction to each other which leads to a LOT of hot and rough sex.
So if you like reading about some sex....This is a good book for that...
Instead of having lots and lots of sex, Lili should be focused on the reason she came to town. She is falling for Isaac and enjoys hanging out with him
But she has to business she needs to attend to.
Is that business with Isaac and his MC? or is it someone else? Isaac is determined to find out. I will say that to be the President of a MC Isaac didn't seem to be too bad of a guy.

~~~ 3.5 STARS ~~~
I am not a MC fan, never was. I've never been attracted to the whole biker culture either. But. BUT. This book was good, maybe even making me a bit of a fan..;-) Isaac was phenomenal. He was a man that was kind as much as he was strong. He told it how it was and never feared being vulnerable in front of Lilli. You'd think he'd be an arrogant, aggressive man. After all, he was the president of the Horde.
But no.
Don't get me wrong. There were times Isaac was a vicious vigilante, out for justice of the primal kind. He corrected wrongs using his fists, he kept the peace using his presence. But even with his outlaw ways, he was a fair man, an honest man. And really, I loved that delivery of justice. Don't waste the paper, just go after the perpetrator and make a point! When he meets Lilli his whole world gets turned upside down. What he never thought to want faces him head on and I loved it. The best thing about him though? His unwavering maturity and honesty with Lilli. It blew me away.
Lilli was a great heroine. Rolling into town under suspicious circumstances, she catches the eye of the only lawman in town---and I use that term loosely. But she's attracted to Isaac as much as he is to her. And despite the questions circling each other, They can't resist the pull. There were many hot scenes. Seriously HOT scenes. These two don't mess around, it was crazy.
Instead of beating around the bush and turning juvenile, Isaac and Lilli handle their issues incredibly well. I was blown away by how strong and capable these two were. The suspense was good and although I very much enjoyed the banter and getting to know each other bits, there were times this book moved slowly. The lulls were a bit discouraging but the end was fantastic and was worth pulling through.
So am I a fan of MC or bikers now? Ummm...no. Am I a fan of Isaac and his horde? YES!!! what I love about GR is seeing what your friends are reading, so thanks Mo, for finding this great book..:/))

2020, May - another read of one of my all time favorite series. Just to go back and remember; to hurt and feel and love through these amazing characters.
2017 re-read of the series. Isaac and Lilli are just as amazing as I remember. So many things to remember. Even more learning all over again the beauty of this group. In love.
5++++ "Something dangerous." Stars
Move the Sun chronicles the journey of Lilli Accardo and Night Horde MC President Isaac Lunden. It’s an awesome MC story. I’ve become a total Susan Fanetti fangirl. Recommended to me by a GR friend, I started Move the Sun with no expectations of what I’d find in Signal Bend, a small town hanging on by a thread held by the local MC. Any expectations I may have had would be blown right out the water. Fanetti’s descriptive writing allows us to feel like we’ve teleported right to the heart of Missouri in the dying small town of Signal Bend. Colorful depictions of the Night Horde MC put us right in the middle of their club. The Night Horde, while maintaining a stereotypical MC vibe, are interestingly different than any other MC I’ve read about. A fluid, moving, unique plot keeps up entranced as we enter this politically un-correct world of debauchery and mayhem. With a hero and heroine who enchant us with their character in a story that isn’t meant to enchant us, we see the world of Signal Bend in varying shades of grey rather than black and white.
The character development in Move the Sun is the most intriguing element of the book. Lilli Accardo quite simply is a bad ass; smart, strong, sassy. She’s one of the most unique female leads I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Her courage, bravery, and sacrifice attribute to her overall beauty. This is a woman whom we should all respect. I adored her character and would stand in her corner any day. She’s one of my most favorite heroine’s I’ve ever read. The plot surrounding Lilli engrosses you fully with the nuances of mystery woven into her character development. The strength you come realize in this character based on the adversities she’s faced sets her apart from any other. The author takes into the past with interludes set inside the present story giving us further insight into Lilli. Isaac Lunden is amazing. I adored this character. He’s an older male lead with wisdom and a forthright sense of duty and establishment. While it is anti-establishment, Isaac rules with a humility and grace that personifies his entire being. Isaac respects the town he calls home and the residents of Signal Bend respect him dearly. He’s all the more attractive and alluring because of it. Lilli immediately sparks Isaac’s interest with her beauty and hot car. Isaac comes to understand Lilli as a partner he can not only respect but respects him with great admiration. She is taken almost immediately with Isaac as well. As we delve into the journey that is their relationship we find a perfect match made. The two of them together are refreshingly and brutally honest in with each other about everything they can share. The passion they share is explosive. Isaac and Lilli have found something in each other that they didn't even realize they were missing.
All the elements worked brilliantly in Move the Sun; plot, conflict, characters. It’s a raw, gritty story. Descriptive prose about the town of Signal Bend, its people, and its business beautifully centered these two characters right to the epicenter of the story. Everything happening in the story is real; very telling of the kind of people Isaac and Lilli prove themselves to be. I'm excited to move on to the next book and see where their story goes from here as I’ve found a new series to add to the favorites list.

I love myself a good biker book and this was definitely a good one ;)
Lilli has just moved to the very small town of Signal Bend, for some personal reasons. Being new in town, and beautifull, she immediately catches the eye of Isaac, the president of the local MC.
I absolutely loved Lilli, she was one kick-ass heroine...just the way I like them !!
The Night Horde MC runs this little town, and Isaac, being the president, knows everything about everyone. The only one he doesn't know anything about is Lilli and he's determined to fix that !! And boy does he ever...these two burned the pages of my book !! They both gave as good as they got.
The more time they spend together (fucking each other raw), the closer they become. Which is a bit of a problem, because neither of them are used to letting anyone close... However, secrets are brewing and problems are coming, so they need to get their shit together and make some decisions.
The only thing that pissed me off, was Isaac pushing Lilli for all her secrets, while keeping his own locked inside. Lilli didn't seem to mind though and since she's my favorite character in this book, I let my anger go too.
I'm not going into the plot, since I don't want to spoiler anything. Just know that this is an awesome MC book with an great kick-ass heroine ! I'm jumping right into the next one.
Don't know if I will be reading all of them, since I've read some spoilers of the next books... I do however want to read the next book about Lilli and Isaac ;)
4 stars from me
