Publisher's Summary

There are a lot of things in this world that are easy to escape from. Having a son you didn't ask for isn't one of them.

Mack is a nomad. He likes his own space, and he struggles with emotion. His past is gray, and his future looks about the same. That is until his ex-girlfriend dies, and his son is handed over to him. A two-month-old baby he didn't know existed. Until now. His world comes crashing down around him. Desperate, he hires a nanny.

Jaylah has gotten herself into some serious trouble, so when she sees the job opening for a nanny pop up, she jumps on it. Of course she's not a nanny, but she figures she can pull it off. I mean, how hard can it be? She's thrown into a world of diapers, hourly feedings, and a whole lot of laundry. She's also introduced to the most rugged, gorgeous man she's ever had the pleasure of meeting. The best part: He's the baby's father. The worst part: He's a biker.

Their sexual tension is huge, but he's a hard nut to crack. She'll get in, though. She makes it her mission to break through the wall Mack has built so high around himself. Her world is about to spiral out of control, and she's taking Mack along for the ride.

NOT A DULL MOMENT... BRILLIANT & BEST YET

This book picks up where the last one finished where Mack is left holding the baby - not literally because he won't have anything to do with his two month old baby son Diesel who has been forced on him by his dead lover's Sister. So, the only thing left to do is to hire a Nanny but that is easier said than done because all of them are scared off..... well, all except Jaylah who desperately needs the money and a place to hide from a very bad guy. The trouble is Jaylah's never even held a baby before.... but hey how hard can it be right? Wrong.

The first thing that strikes you with this book is the humor as both Jaylah's thought's and actions are sometimes LOL funny and the banter, sass, sexual chemistry and interactions between her and the moody, broody handsome Mack are so delicious. Mack soon finds out that he's hired a strong, sexy, independent, caring, spunky, in your face woman who is going to torment his life, give him grief, melt his hardened heart, fit into the Biker lifestyle and.... become both an Old Lady and a Mother. But first Jaylah learns both how to look after Diesel and sees the hidden feelings that Mack has for his son and the heartbreaking reasons why. So she makes it her mission to soften Mack's heart so he can make room in it for his son.... and maybe her as well because not only has she grown to love Diesel but also the sexy Biker Daddy too.

But there's so so much more to this story than the broody silences, the sizzling chemistry the verbal war and the sexy romance.... a half Brother with revenge eating him up and he's out for blood, a stupid ex Boyfriend, an impatient bad guy and all the usual Clubhouse antics. So, drama, action, sex, humor, angst, blood, bullets, violence, Alpha leather wearing bikers, heartache, murder, kidnapping, tears and a very smouldering and touching romance. There's a great sense of brotherhood and the Old Ladies from previous books lend a hand, support and have a fun times with Jaylah.... and she, in turn, repays the love by saving one of them.

Dual POV's and a fantastic team of narrators which tops the listening pleasure off nicely as they bring to life all the characters, their action, the suspense, the intrigue and they add the heated, the bitter, the passion-filled and the heartfelt emotions into each and every Chapter which made it such an intense and enjoyable listen.

Worth a credit? It's got to be the best in the series so far and YES well worth a credit.

Anguish is the perfect name for this audiobook

Would you listen to Anguish again? Why?

Anguish is the perfect name for this novel/audiobook; it is the emotion I felt the strongest as the tears flowed. I think it’s because I can remember those feeling of putting everything, your entire being, your complete heart and soul into a relationship, and have it not be reciprocated. That utter feeling of devastation, the hollow feeling in your chest, that makes it hurt to breathe. Yea, that’s one of those moments in life that you don’t forget, so when a book can evoke those feeling again, it is like being brought back to that moment in time. Good or bad; for me the memories are now bitter sweet.

Luckily, this is a romance novel, so there will be a HAE, even though it takes lots of tears and heartbreak to get there. Through the journey, readers learn to love the characters and feel like you are going on their adventures with them, the good and the bad.

I love this series, and I LOVED Anguish, it’s getting 5 Boundless Stars. The next novel Desolation isn’t out in audiobook yet. Not sure if I can wait for that....Sara

Wow, this series needs more books!

I love this series, It's got a great story line, and great hottttt scenes! I don't like authors who write just about sex, sex, sex, it gets old! but Bella writes a steamy story with hot crazy sex AND a great story, which is hard to find anymore!, I hope the rest of her books are like this... Kim

Funny, charming and sad

The best book in the series. I still find it weird that they never mention where they live, what the club does to survive but, overall story is beatiful.
Everything happens, from kidnapping to bullet clouds...
Worth the listen.

I love sexy broody bikers

I liked this story much better than the last. Mack was hot broody and sexy. Jaylah was quirky and fun and goofy. She lost her quirkiness throughout the book and that made me sad but she was still likeable. I wanna know what Marcus' deal is. I got angry when Mack and Maddox turned on Jaylah because of Ash but still I enjoyed the book. Looking forward to the next book. Pippa and Tyke are gonna be cute but tortured. We were introduced to their sweet sides now it's time to see their darker sides.

story 3.25
narrators 3.25
