Publisher's summary

Hope, Faith, and Charity—the three virtues embodied into three sisters with unconventional upbringings. When Hope hits The Kraken MC's hometown of Ft. Royal, Florida, she sets into motion a chain of events that will change the club forever—starting with Cutter, its president.

Follow this adventure through three books and one short story that happens to now be exclusive to The Virtues box set.

Book One—Cutter's Hope

Hope’s lost her younger sister, but she hasn’t lost her namesake. It’s been almost two years since Faith vanished, but Hope hasn’t given up the search. She’ll either find her sister or some answers.

Cutter had given up on finding a woman when Hope sauntered right into his bar. With her straight talk, toned figure, and military training, she can disarm a man in more ways than one. But the mission she’s on will shake up Cutter’s world. Can Cutter keep his club out of trouble and help the siren in his bar on her mission?

One can only hope….

Book 2—Marlin's Faith

Faith. She’d managed to keep her namesake while in captivity, but now that she was free? The daunting task of rejoining society was in front of her, and it seemed that Marlin had to keep it for her.

Marlin can’t help how he feels about Faith. She was remarkably easy to like. The only thing he could do for her was to be there and keep his damn hands to himself which was the real challenge. Neither one of them knew if she would make it out of the darkness intact. Only time would tell about that.

During trying times, all you can do is hold on and have a little faith….

Stay with Me—a short story exclusive to The Virtues box set

Dominic Shepard is a Portland, Oregon paramedic and has just been called to the scene of a domestic dispute gone horribly wrong. He's never been so profoundly affected by one of his victims as he was by Corrine Tate, that night. Turns out, Dominic had quite the effect on Corrine, too.

Book 3—Charity for Nothing

Charity is home free with her degree under her belt and making a beeline straight for sunny Ft. Royal and her sisters, Hope and Faith. Excited to see them yet having been warned by Hope to watch herself when it came to the disarmingly charming ways of The Kraken, Charity never expected to walk right into the one man to flip all of her switches to the "on" position before she’d even taken a dozen steps into town.

Nothing was everything she liked. Tall, handsome, with a pair of eyes that any woman should swoon over. Just the right mix of tortured bad boy to pique all of her healer’s instincts. Charity knew that the men of The Kraken played for keeps, all except, it seemed, for this one.

Too bad no one told The Kraken that she played for keeps, too.

If you haven't yet, it is recommended you listen to the Sacred Hearts MC box set before embarking on the journey with The Kraken.

MC Box Set

Great MC box set!! Enjoyed following story line and characters through their journey. Strong family ties with sisters and MC. Took a little time getting acclimated to the narrators.

The Virtues

Each story was equally emotional, intriguing , inspiring and addictive. I was on the edge of my seat during each book and left with a big grin on my face. Narration was great. The narrators truly brought these stories to life. Great box set!

I really loved book 1, Cutters Hope, both the storyline & the narration.
I didn’t enjoy book. I understand the character and the real-life struggles but at some point (in a romance book at least) the character usually heals at some point. In addition the danger never reoccurs.
The narration was ok but I could hear noises (swallowing etc) in between sentences from the female narrator. Bob Carter was HAF 🔥🔥. At first I was sure about always hearing the deep breathes and heavy breathing but then I realized, I was totally submerged in the scene. Which was especially erotic during his sex scenes.
Book 3 was really good. The storyline was much better than book 2 IMO, strong female character, and vulnerable alpha male character and heartbreaking love story with great chemistry and lots of banter.
The narration was good. There were some errors and fumbles but nothing too dramatic. Bob Carter once again, has the perfect voice for these characters.
Each book has an HEA.

Full Box Set

It’s hard to write a review for a full box set without giving away any spoilers. I’ll give a little synopsis first.

All three books are about sisters and the big,m bad MC group they encounter. It starts off with the oldest sister looking for the middle sister who disappeared the year prior. Oldest has always taken care of all 3 of them and she’s willing to stop at nothing to find out what has happened. Her sleuthing brings her to a town where she meets up with big sexy biker guys. A lot of bad-assery ensues which leads to sexy times with the MC prez.

Book 2 is about the missing sister that was rescued. Trigger warning because it turns out she was sold into human trafficking. I found myself crying in several places and some may find it hard to get through.

There’s a short story I’m between book 2 and 3 but it gives a little backstory to book 3.

Book 3 is about how the youngest sister tries to find her way in life and integrate back into the lives of her 2 older sisters. She finds herself healing one of the MC guys who has been lost and heartbroken for a few years.

I’m so glad I chose this as a full set because I was hooked from word 1! I couldn’t stop until I finished it all. Great narration helped me feel the stories and I fell in love with this biker family.

Great MC romance box set!

I dont understand all the negative reviews on the male narrator. I thought he did a fantastic job. The women took some getting used to. Depending on whose narrating you have to adjust the speed. Every narrator speaks in a diffirent pace. As for the storyline. It was a great mixture of romance and MC life. You get to know the characters and see them throughout the books. I listen to ALOT of the MC troupe and I will be continuing this series. I plan to also listen to any others this author has. If you are looking for an MC romance with club business and a feisty Herione, this set will not disappoint.

Fantastic!

If you are looking for good stories, a bit of angst and romance all in an MC club, then you have found the perfect box set for you! AJ Downey is a master at writing amazing romance and here we get to know Charity, Faith and Hope. Each has their own baggage brought in, each finding their forever alpha male. I loved each one, easy to get lost in and keep listening to.

The narrators did a phenomenal job bringing each of the stories to life. Each book has the same male narrator whose voice has that raspy, alpha feel. The women each have a different narrator, perfectly cast to their counterpart. Get ready to enjoy this series!

What a Pleasant Surprise! I enjoyed these immensely!

This is a wonderful set of books! I enjoyed each one for different reasons but they will all be going to my favorite list! This encompasses three full length and one shorter story. I enjoyed that they all are about the three sister and how they come to be in Port Royal. The MC is just great! I loved meeting all those boys. They are hard when needed but soft at other times. I really grew to enjoy the who Kracken MC.

Each book follows a sister and one Mc characters. If for no other reason you should listen to the first one because of Hope! She is one of the most kick butt female characters I have listened to in a while. She ROCKS! Cutter has met his match with her!

In the second book we get back with Faith who was in a prostitution ring and being drugged regularly. What I love about this was the author did not gloss over the recovery process and move on to the relationship part. Nope she brought is the dirty, gritty terrible part then led us to her happiness. Marlin was a treat! He struggled but watching him fall for her was amazingly done.

In the last book we meet the final sister, Charity. She is a mix of Hope and Faith. The twist in this one…its the male that has the problem and needs to figure out how to deal with it. Very cool! While I did not love this one as much as the first book it nicely rounds out the set.

The narration is done by The Neighborhood Studio and for the most part everything was great. There are a few flubs in the last book by a female narrator but that is it.

Not an MC book

Spoiler!!!
If you enjoy Mc books. Pass this one. It was hard to listen to
Book1. All the moaning drove me crazy!!
Book 2. You feel sorry for her sister but then she told everyone her story. Did I miss her explanation of the bracelet
Book 3. She goes to his house without underwear. Gets laid then doesn’t like it when he doesn’t profess his love. She cry’s to her sister. Then he gets beat up. Stopped listening after that.
