Outlaw

Devil's Fury MC, Book 2

De: Harley Wylde

Narrado por: Umi Markkanen

Elena -- I lost my parents as a kid, but a reverend and his wife took me in. They were good to me, even if there had never been many hugs. Then they started pushing me to marry a man I didn’t want, so I ran. I should have known the moment I walked through the clubhouse doors of the Devil’s Fury my life would never be the same. I just didn’t count on a bad boy biker being the one to finally make me feel wanted.

Outlaw -- The Devil’s Fury are my family, my brothers, but I’m not the same man I was years ago. I’m scarred and broken, or so I’d thought. The little Latina who came to the clubhouse, then pulled out a damn book to read had my attention right away. When someone tries to hurt her, I know that I’ll keep her safe. In fact, I’ll just keep her. She’s awakened a part of me I’d thought I’d lost. Didn’t count on her bringing trouble with her, or nearly losing her, but she’s mine and I will fight for her to the very end.

Starting Over

Being groomed by her foster parents for a man in the church is still grooming. I was so happy to see Elena Vargas make her own path. Although, the fact that she felt like she had to run away as an adult was sad.

She's insanely naive, but I like how even when she struggles against what she grew up with, she finds a way to move forward. I laughed when she pulled a book out while at a party at the clubhouse. 😆 It's the kind of thing I'd do if the scene wasn't what I expected or enjoyed.

I loved getting Noah "Outlaw" Borden's story and seeing him get his HEA after everything that happened in Wire's book (prior reading not required, but might be helpful). It's sad to see the impact to his "usefulness" to the club, but it's also one of the most realistic aspects of this incredibly over-the-top tale.

He comes across as quite the alpha🕳 on a few occasions, but it's apparent that he is more teddy bear and fierce protector than anything else when comes to Elena.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen. I've listened to a couple dozen of the books she narrated. She continues to deliver a great listen.

I really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this story of protective Outlaw (Noah), member of the Devil’s Fury MC, and “his” virgin Elena, who fled from the house of her former foster parents because she did not want to be married away to a man she did not like let alone want.
While Outlaw rescues Elena, and thought he was too damaged to ever have himself a woman, she turns out to be all he ever needed. A great match!

This review is based on the audiobook. I liked the narrator, Umi Markkanen.

Good continuation

to the series. There is crossover from other series that for me I would have liked to have read/listened to before but it's not entirely necessary. I enjoyed this story, the FMC backstory was lighter than the previous whish was nice an I really liked Outlaw's story. There were some inconsistencies from the first one's characters but overall it's a good story with good narration.

Bookworm and the Biker

I have to say that this read int he beginning like my diary..lmbco!!!! Elena was not only sheltered but buried until she walked into the Devil's Fury. I love how Outlaw had his eye on her from the moment she stepped in..not just because he saw her as his but because she was sooooooout of place.

The storyline was unique and a great continuation of MC falling in love and showing truly that the addage is tru- birds of feather flock together.

As asalways Umi does not only the job but on a level that I have come to love and expect. Looking forward to more of the MC!!!
