⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Axel” by Lola Wright is an electrifying continuation of The Devil's Angels MC series that masterfully intertwines romance, humor, and action.
Axel, the bald, tattooed, and buff VP of the club, is perfectly portrayed as a charming ladies' man who never saw love coming until he literally encounters Bailey, a fierce spitfire with a troubled past. As Bailey seeks refuge from dangerous foes in the embrace of the Devil's Angels, the chemistry between her and Axel ignites like a roaring flame.
Wright adeptly molds and crafts a fast-paced narrative packed with witty banter and laugh-out-loud moments that keep readers engaged from start to finish.
The slow-burn romance is a highlight, with steamy tension that builds gradually, making every interaction between Axel and Bailey all the more satisfying. Unlike many romance novels, the relationship feels authentic and real, with mature themes that reflect the complexities of love and life.
The return of familiar characters from the first book only enhances the reading experience, making it feel like a reunion with friends. This is not just a love story; it's a beautifully constructed tale of attraction, vulnerability, and resilience. The heartwarming yet thrilling journey culminates in a fulfilling happily-ever-after that leaves you craving more.
Axel has firmly secured his bald headed place in my heart and on my reread shelf—this is a book I'll return to dive back into every few months!
Lola Wright is truly a master of her craft and continues to outdo herself with this amazing series!!!!
Highly recommend for anyone seeking a thrilling, romantic escape.

Loved the banter between Axel and Bailey. There were still issues in regards to how plausible this story was but it still kept my interest.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of this author.

Man, I don't know what it is about this author. I love her. I found the first book by chance. Second book was funny as well. You get the same crazy characters and dialogues. You won't be disappointed

I originally gave this book (and book 6 which I read first) four stars. I went on to binge most of the series. There were so many little red flags that I am upset with myself for ignoring. There's problematic language that gets excused away by saying, "oh well they're bikers, they're not going to be politically correct." But there are lines that are just completely unnecessary, transphobic comments especially.
Just a few qualms:
- The fourth book (Cash) has a gay character that hits on the guys in the club to make them uncomfortable as a "joke" and is always wearing something rainbow.
- The repeat background character named Candy (appears in Pooh's book and Cash's book) who they make fatphobic and transphobic jokes about because she is not conventionally attractive so obviously it's open season on her.
- Craig, the four year old who talks and curses like a 30 year old, was cute for like five minutes but it quickly reaches an unrealistic and uncomfortable point.
- The "club sluts", something I know that is going to be in any and every MC book. But to have the female main characters constantly talk terribly about these while simultaneously calling out the double standard of the men's sex lives to the club girls' sex lives. Pippa (from Pooh's book) literally says that girls like the "club sluts" are the demographic for the halfway house she runs, but never once offers them help or to come stay at New Horizons. How this author constantly preaching feminism, while tearing down background women in the book, disgusts me. If your feminism isn't inclusive, it's not feminism.
I was so desperate for an MC romance because I love the found family trope that often comes with it. But I'm done. (And yes, I am cross posting this to all the books I read because I think its important)

The Devil’s Angel’s MC Book Two Axel
MMC is Axel the VP of the club… bald, tattooed, and buff! Axel loves the ladies and has no plans to settle down until he is literally knocked off his Harley by a tiny spitfire named Bailey.
FMC is the lovely Bailey who is running from some very bad men. Finding a safe haven in the Devil Angel’s in none other than ladies’ man Axel. This book continues from book 1 of this series with a new storyline about a different brother but with the same characters from book one. The action is fast-paced, and the constant battle of wits between man and bird will have you laughing so hard. Spice is a slow burn but so delicious. Mature themes, language, a love story with a HEA but not all “fluff” and insta relationship and love. Attraction is there but the author beautifully builds it up without dragging anything out. This book will stay on my reread shelf to return to every few months I enjoyed it that much!

This is so different then any other MC that I have read and I am loving every moment. There is so much humor, yet some drama and trauma also.
Axel and Bailey were heartwarming. They way he loved her just made me smile.

Lola Wright is a new author to me in the MC world. Her fist book had me laughing so hard that I was crying and my sides hurt. As soon as I heard that Axel's book was out I one clicked that bad boy right away. Let me tell ya, she didn't fail me again. This book is the story of Bailey and Axel. Axel is the true biker bachelor who doesn't want an ol' lady, Bailey is a strong woman who doesn't do casual relationships. When these two meet sparks fly. Their story has the right amount of angst, humor, sexy scenes, with an awesome story line that leaves ya on the edge of your seat.
If you are looking for a great MC book with all the above you won't be disappointed in this series.
