I just love this series each book gets better and better. This is Axel and Bella's book these two have known each other for years but she is part of Dirty Angels MC and he is a police officer I just loved that for once it is the woman who is on the wrong side of the law. I just loved the chemistry between these two and while at first, you may not think they are suited I thought they were just perfect together. A great addition to the series I would recommend it

Sweet lord. I need to break a law and find me a hot as hell cop like Axel. This man was pre deliciousness. The love he had for Bella was truly epic. My heart hurt at their story and past.

The author did an exceptional job at maintaining this world and creating characters that feel real. Especially, at how hard it was for both sides when one was law abiding and the other walked in a gray area.

On to Slade. Mow.

Sometimes a series comes along that you cannot get enough of, and this series is it for me. Each book has something in it that keeps me riveted to the story and makes me feel like I am part of the club experiencing it all with them. Jeanne St James explores the relationship between Axel and Bella this time and while I thought Diesel was the one I loved the most, Axel is the ultimate hero. Axel has the club running through his veins, but circumstances throughout his life have kept him away. With his job as a cop and his brother as the president of DAMC, things are definitely at odds. Bella is part owner of the town bakery and is DAMC straight through. Nothing will pull her from the club, but her feelings for Axel are strong. Will these two be able to overcome their issues? This modern day Romeo and Juliet had me listening all night to see how their story would turn out. Bella is a strong woman, has lived through a horrific attack and needs to decide if a relationship with the man she loves will work out. Axel is clear on what he wants, but will he be able to live with the love of his life being in the club? St James masterfully weaves the tale with love and care with these two. Axel is not only honorable and hot, but he is determined to make things work. Bella has some self confidence and trust issues she may not be able to work through. Add in the men of DAMC and Axel's dad fighting the relationship and things are not looking good! The best part of these stories is nothing is easy. The couples have to work through their problems, it may get worse before it gets better, but there is no immediate fix. It's true to life and makes the stories so much better. Love this one, hoping we get to see where these two go in the future in the next installment.

Ava Lucas and Teddy Hamilton are a narration team like no other. This particular narration I found incredibly moving. Lucas gives voice to all the women in the club, but her portrayal of Bella is emotional and full of feeling. Bella has been through a lot, and you can feel her struggle in this story. While you want to shake her, Lucas gives her the voice so you can feel compassion and hope for Bella. Hamilton is the perfect voice for Axel. He needs that clean cut sound that Teddy has for him, but also gives him that alpha feel. He pulls it off without a hitch making Axel the man to love.

You're really good read filled with angst and drama between two people who have been separated by circumstance and family duty all their lives. Essentially a modern day Romeo and Juliet with a much happier ending, I loved Axel and Bella's story.

All I can say is WOW - you better have Kleenex available when you read this book!! I have always been a fan of this series and my favorites were always the couple it all started with but they have now been dethroned as Axel and Bella have won my heart. This book was filled with so much drama, anguish, angst and love that I had to stop reading and wipe my tears before I could continue. Two extremely broken souls finally finding there way to each other. But will their families accept them or are they going to have to walk away from their entire lives to be together? With an extremely emotional journey as the storyline and characters who have become bigger and better than the rest in the series this book cannot be missed. Jeanne St. James has outdone herself!!
