Stolen

The Devil's Disciples: Dante and Rachel, Book 1

De: JM Johnson

Narrado por: Lucy Rivers, Ben Hart, Joe Arden

When faced with love in its most raw and savage form, can it truly conquer all?

Dante wasn't looking for a woman. He was content with being a single dad, and slowly but surely taking his place as leader of his club, Devil's Disciples.

His life was busy, and he didn't need women complicating things. Fuck them, leave them.

Don't catch feelings.

But Dante had never met a woman like Rachel.

Rachel has a past. One she has worked hard at erasing. With others paying for her crimes, she moved halfway across the world and put it all behind her. Until a chance encounter with Dante seals her fate, binding them both together in a toxic, violent embrace of passion.

As the two strike up a relationship that is as fiery as it is all-consuming, she begins to unravel, revealing wounds that time has failed to heal, igniting a protective fury within Dante.

But in a world where loyalty is currency, and strength is power, betrayal strikes, threatening to destroy the very foundation of the Devil's Disciples. Dante is bound by his loyalty, and Rachel soon learns that the biggest danger may not be the secrets she hides, but the man riding at her side.

Absolutely loved it!!

If you love MC romance, don’t miss out on this one. The MMC was a rage filled, jerk quite often but, he met his match with the FMC, Rachel. She was just bad a** with her sharp tongued, take no sh*t attitude and I loved that. The two of them together made this story one heck of a ride. I couldn’t wait to see what Rachel had up her sleeve for the big bad biker next 🫣😂 Don’t get me wrong it was dark but, there were moments you couldn’t help but to laugh. Lucy Rivers, Ben Hart and Joe Arden did an incredible job narrating. They really brought the characters in this story to life. I absolutely loved it! It ended on a cliffhanger so I’m dying for the next book. I gotta know what happens and how things progress between Dante and Rachel!

Exciting, dark MC Romance!

4.5 stars

Stolen is a wild, exciting, dark biker romance that I ate up in a day. It's brutal, gritty and raw. Dante wants an "old lady" to take care of his five year old daughter. When he sees Rachel he knows she is it. So he takes her. LiterallyRachel may go willingly, but she will not go quietly. She is a force of a woman and lets Dante and the other biker men know it.There's a lot of spice, but also a plot. Yay. This is narrated in duet by Ben Hart (new to me) and Lucy Rivers. I definitely need more Ben Hart narrations in my life. I loved his voice and accent This ends on a cliffhanger and I know I could read the next book right away, but I'll be waiting for the next audio.

Dante and Rachel

Lust at first site for Dante and Hate at first sight for Rachel. Lucy did a wonderful job at an English accent at with delivering Rachel's sassy lines. Joe was so good with his accent I forgot what he usually sounds like. Ben is a new narrator to me and I loved his portraying of Dante.

I was not expecting the cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for the next book.

"Let me take all the darkness in your soul as my own. Let me take it so your light can shine through."

♡This was my first read by J.M. Johnson & I freaking devoured it! Stolen has easily become one of my favorite enemies-to-lovers books that I have read. The plot kept me engaged, the banter was top-tier & the spice did not miss! The ending had my jaw on the floor as I begged for more!

The duet narration for this book was phenomenal! Lucy is one of my top narrators & she brought Rachel our smart-mouthed fiesta FMC to life perfectly! Ben is a new to me narrator & I thought he did an amazing job voicing our morally grey, broody biker Dante to life! The emotion Lucy & Ben put into this performance was impeccable & the connection felt between these two Mc's was perfection. Joe did an amazing job as a cameo for this performance as well!

If you like morally grey bikers, a strong af fmc, & a true hate-to-love trope look no further!♡

~As Always Happy Reading~

Love a MC dark romance!!!

I absolutely ate this audiobook up! First off we have one of my favorite female narrators with Lucy Rivers in this book! She is absolutely one of my top three favorite female narrators next to Angelina Rocca and Marie Hawkins! Then we have Ben Hart as our MMC narrator and this is actually the first book. I believe I’ve listened to with Ben Hart and he did a freaking phenomenal job as our MMC Dante I feel like there’s only like a select few male narrators who can do a British narrating voice, and he was absolutely hitting it on the nail throughout the entirety of this book. Then just for an added bonus throughout this book, we get little cameos of Joe Arden as he is one of the characters in the book, but I’m not gonna reveal who it is. I’m gonna let you all try to figure out who Joe is in this book! But kind of a quick snippet of this book is RFMC is Rachel played by Lucy Rivers. She is kind of a nanny/caregiver to this American family who has come back to England for like their yearly vacation and she catches the eyes of Dante, who sees her as his perfect mothering figure for his five-year-old daughter so he decides to abduct her from the family. She’s working for and decides to make her his old lady because he’s also the vice president of a motorcycle club! This book has the best prologue I have ever heard or listened to as well. I was sitting in my chair at my work, giggling and kicking about how good the prologue was. Then the story is just I cannot get enough of it and this is just book one of a three book trilogy so obviously this book ends on a freaking cliffhanger, but you are holding onto the edge of your seat the entirety of this book to me. I feel like this is kind of like a true enemies to lovers just because Rachel and Dante cannot stand each other but they also have like that kind of instant lust because they both want each other pretty early on. Then Rachel is always talking back to Dante and it’s the funniest banter I have ever heard or read in a book. I mean Lucy did just such a freaking amazing job as Rachel in the way she performed this character as much as I loved the other two narrators Ben Hart and Joe Arden. Lucy was just amazing. I could not get enough of her character.

An Awesome All-Consuming Story & Listen🎧

It is always great to check out new-to-me authors, and with J.M. Johnson’s intriguing bio and this book’s blurb, I was in, well that and the amazing casting of her audiobook. Johnson writes dark, spicy romance with morally grey men and strong women who are fierce, and this book is just that and so much more, an enemies-to-lovers romance like no other. Rachel was running from her past life, getting a job across the pond as an au pair, not really liking the parents, but she tolerated them for the sake of the son who she was great with, and for. She was in the UK with them on a trip and was worried her past would catch up, so it was a relief that their stay was ending soon and they’d be returning to the States. Except that never happens, what happened instead was Dante, the V.P. of The Devil’s Disciples. Dante takes what he wants, and he wanted Rachel, and he always gets what he wants. Dante wanted an old lady, someone to help with his daughter, someone he could bend and mold, a submissive. He thought he knew what he was getting with Rachel, but he was in for a rude awakening because he met his match, someone who was going to give him a run for his money and gave as good as they got. Wow, just wow, the push and pull between them is amazing, and I am not sure who is wilder or more cunning, Rachel or Dante, equally cunning and equally psychotic. Though of the two I think Rachel is the most broken of the two and Dante is trying to help with that, in Dante’s way. Their volatile relationship is intense and sits on a thin line between love and hate. Besides the romance storyline, there is an introduction to the Devil’s Disciples motorcycle club, the key players, and we get a glimpse into their world and the drama going on within. I loved the dynamics among the MC members and Dante’s family, except for the traitor(s) in the midst. This cleverly plotted, multi-layered story has plenty of drama, angst, some humor to lighten things up, heartfelt emotions, steamy scenes and romance. J.M. Johnson, thank you for this amazing story, a wild ride that has your heart racing and a mind-blowing ending that leaves you wanting more.

🎧📚🎧Lucy Rivers, Ben Hart and Joe Arden deliver an incredible performance, bringing the characters to life, from the pages to your ears. Their character voices are fitting for a perfect portrayal of each and they were believable in every role. Ben Hart and Lucy Rivers perform the roles of the two lead characters, as well as side and secondary characters, with Joe Arden covering Vienna’s role, full of personality, charm in an MC sort of way. Hart nails it as Dante, grasping all aspects of his personality, from his no-nonsense alpha-tude to his angst and rage, to his caring side and all in between. Rivers does the same in Rachel’s role and is just as amazing, embodying her personality completely, including her fierceness, sharp-tongued wit, and her vulnerabilities. They were naturals in handling the witty banter and dialogue, landing the sarcastic humor effortlessly. They were great at conveying all the characters’ emotions, making you feel them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, and their captivating performance rivets you to the story.

Dark MC Romance

Stolen by JM Johnson is a dark MC romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lucy Rivers and Ben Hart with a cameo by Joe Arden. This is the first book in The Devil's Disciples series.

This is the first book of JM's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I loved the chemistry and banter between Dante and Rachel. Their relationship is toxic but yet I can't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ended on an amazing cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Saved to be released on audio so I can get more of Dante and Rachel's story.

Lucy, Ben, and Joe did an amazing job on the narration. They really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a dark romance, MC romance, or romantic suspense.

5 stars

Stolen is Book 1 in The Devil's Disciples series. This is Dante and Rachel's story. Rachel has spent years hiding in the shadows, burying the past she's too scared to face. Now? She's done hiding. When Dante firsts sees Rachel. He's immediately smitten by her. In his eyes she would be the perfect trophy wife. It was supposed to be simple. He would take her. Break her. But nothing about her is simple. Her sharp tongue cuts deep every single time.

This was my first book by this author. I loved her writing style. Very fast paced and never a dull moment. Think of Sons of Anarchy with all the drama. I loved the characters so much. Dante had an alpha persona and had a business mind. He was a take action kind of person. Rachel was such a spitfire. She had a backbone. Everytime her and Dante butt heads she knew how to get him all worked up. I loved her confidence and sass too. She's such a fierce, brave character.

As for the audiobook narration, it's amazing! Performed in duet by Lucy Rivers and Ben Hart with cameo by Joe Arden. These three did a fantastic job. I loved Lucy's English accent. She conveyed Rachel with so much confidence and sass. Ben is a new to narrator. I loved how he conveyed Dante with a deep, broody tone. He was very expressive. I loved Joe's English accent. I loved his cameo. His character was very loyal to Dante and very protective. Together Lucy, Ben and Joe embodied their characters and brought the story to life. There is a huge cliffhanger. I'm excited for the next book!

We’re toxic but I am where I want to be

I have never seen such a toxic relationship from start to finish in my life. Like usually it starts toxic and then fixes itself but noooope. Incredibly toxic from start to finish 😂

BUT Rachel is NOT a pushover and gave as good as she got…she’s usually the one who started it, to be honest. That girl has a nasty streak lol but Dante matches her one for one with ease and sometimes even winning. But even when Dante wins, Rachel retaliates 😂 so again toxic 💀

I will say though that a lot of their problems could’ve been resolved if Rachel just learned to talk instead of assuming.

Be warned this ends on a cliffy
