All’s Fair in Love & Juárez

The Vikings MC, Book 3

De: Cathleen Cole, Frank Jensen

Narrado por: Allyson Voller, Tyler Darby

Love, loyalty, and family. Which one will save them, and which could get them killed?

Ming would’ve loved to finish her residency in peace, having nothing to do with bossy, possessive bikers. But that just wasn’t an option—not after her friends dragged her into MC business. Now, the only way out is to find who is responsible for bringing Fentanyl-laced drugs into her hospital...and to keep her mind (and hands) off a certain broody, sexy biker.

Axel knows Ming deserves the kind of safe, happy life a guy like him could never provide. So he’ll figure out how to shut down the cartel’s drug operation and do whatever is necessary to keep her safe—then, he’ll have to let her go. Even though that’s the last thing he ever wanted to do.

Deadly enemies, a lifetime of emotional baggage, and a nasty secret stand between them. Can Ming and Axel overcome it all? Only time will tell....

All’s Fair in Love & Juárez, book three in the Vikings MC series, is a dark, steamy, angsty biker romantic suspense story full of action, adventure, and sexy times.

*Be forewarned: These books contain violence and descriptions of illicit activities. If you enjoy sexy antiheroes, fast-paced and action-packed storylines, and steamy love scenes, these are the books for you! There are guaranteed happily ever afters for the characters, but the underlying storyline continues from book to book and ends on a cliff-hanger. It is recommended you begin at book one, Heart of Steel.

Book three of series

This is the third book, first series I've read/listened to by Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen. They write well with great storylines and easy to like characters. I'm enjoying this series. Axel is our antihero and Ming is our heroine. Loved their story. What's the best is these ladies and how the men attempt to take care of them. Makes for great laughter. The story is fast, with some steam, and the couple had a HEA ending. The underlying series storyline still has us hanging wanting to know what's next!

Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby are excellent narrators. They continue to bring these audiobooks to life with emotional performances. Great voices. Perfection.

My Soul

I love Dr. Ming Chen and Gabriel "Axel" Juarez. They've been circling each other for some time, and it is good to see the lines crossed. Axel's personal hang-ups about being like his father get a little old after a while, but I can sympathize with the idea. He is a little full of himself.

I love how Axel steps up when it's needed, even if it is begrudgingly. I also like that he proves be can make decisive calls and act on them appropriately.

Rosario being put in her place is hilarious! She definitely earned the comeuppance. 😂

That is a nice twist at the end. It's a good lead-in to the next book. 😍

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are fabulous with their principal characters, and each does well with the other characters. Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby are great with the various accents, too.

All’s Fair in Love & Juárez

This is the third book in The Vikings MC series. This is Axel and Ming’s book. I loved how Axel finally realized he loved Ming and couldn’t live without her. Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby did a great job narrating this book.

Axel and Ming-Feisty Heroine and Protective Hero

This series just does not disappoint. The third book and couple with a new set of barriers and yet an attraction that develops through action and danger.
An ongoing underlying storyline that continues through the series. Strong female characters continue with Dr. Ming who falls for Axel with dubious family.
There is action, romance and a storyline that makes me anxious for the next book in the series.

Couldn't Stop Listening!

Great narration brings this one to life! Axel knows he can’t have love because he’ll put the one’s he loves in danger. What happens when the one you love is already in danger and you either choose to be there to protect them or let them continue being in danger? Ming came in like a whirlwind and got to Axel and he got to her but they don’t’ see how their love story will unfold. This was an action-packed HEA that only has me waiting on the edge to see how the foreshadowing plays out in the rest of the series. Get ready to be sucked into this MC and what happens next!

Awesome Story & Listen🎧Captivating & Action-Packed

Cathleen and Frank Jensen continue to wow me with another amazing “Vikings MC” novel, the third book of the series and while each book features different lead characters, it is best to enjoy the series in order written. This book is Axel and Ming’s story, and they are in the center of the ongoing drama the club is facing with rival clubs, gangs and the mafia. Ming has been staying at the club for her own protection, and she is also determined to find out who is bringing the Fentanyl drugs into her hospital. And when she finds out who it is, it is someone she never would have imagined. Then Axel’s brother needs medical attention, and she volunteers to help him and goes on a road trip with the protection of the MC. The plotting and world building is fantastic and I am loving and all the layers to the story, its depth and complexity and how the pieces fall together. Also, love that the female characters hold their own up against the alpha biker dudes and Ming is no exception. It was great to learn more about her and Axel’s backstory as well. This story has it all, plenty of drama, angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.  

🎧📚🎧 And for fabulous narration, Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby are entertaining storytellers and versatile voice artists. Their portrayal of these characters is spot on and their character voices fit each character’s persona perfectly, accents and all. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and have you feeling every single one. These two make a great team and their narration enhances an already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen. 

The storyline….just WOW!

LOVE this one!!! The humor between the MC brothers is classic! Then the women jump on board and it becomes epic! I laughed or smiled numerous times while listening. Yes it has its serious sides too. The more I learn about Axel the more I really like him. He just impressed me and his background is no joke. He has risen above.

The story…just WOW! I loved every second of it. There are shocking moments as well as a few surprises sprinkled in there. These two got their story but we also get caught up on the continuing one that runs through all the books. I am super excited for more in this series!

I listened to this on audio. Tyler Darby and Allyson Voller do the narration. They both do an excellent job and are enjoyable to listen to.

New to me author

This was a great listen. Loved the dual POV's with the narrators. The story was action packed. I definitely have to go back and listen to the first two books.

Book 3 - can be standalone

This is book 3 in author duo Cole and Jensen's The Vikings MC series. First, I love the dual narration that is perfect for this dual point of view read / listen. The accents as well as the pitch and tones, smooth vocals make this such a pleasure to listen! The storyline flowed wonderfully and was easy to follow as our main characters doctor Ming and biker Axel delight in this chemistry filled MC romance. Great level of steamy chemistry as well as action, danger and the perfect gasp of a twist! I also really enjoyed how these two seemingly come from completely different backgrounds and worlds but come together so well. While this can be read / listened to as a standalone, to get the full experience of the storyline and characters it's best to read / listen in series order if able. So - will all that said, I can't wait to see what's in store for this MC and these brothers (and the girls) next!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Finally! Ming and Axel

Finally! Ming and Axel have been dancing around each other what feels like forever, and they finally give in and discover how amazing it could be...if only they can get over their perceived obstacles. Learning more about Axel's past you cannot help but feel empathy, but luckily his MC brothers have his back and help him see the light. I got to say, Ming pleasantly surprised me with just how fiesty and determined she was...it had me laughing because she crazily fits perfectly into this chaos. And Axel has so much depth and sweetness for Ming. After some action-packed, harrowing, dangerous situations with edge of you seat suspense, a battle is won and Ming and Axel work out their much deserved HEA. Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby did a great job bringing it to life. And all that set up for the future! Can't wait to find out how that all goes down!
