Publisher's summary

Welcome to Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rules. Get ready to get Down & Dirty because this is Axel's story...

When you’re a cop, life can be complicated when the woman you love is MC born and raised....

Though the club blood runs thick in Axel’s veins, he’s despised by them for being a cop. They also hate him because his family turned their back years ago not only on the club but his brother, the president of the Dirty Angels MC. However, he's loved Bella forever, watched her marry the wrong man, one who broke her in almost every imaginable way, and yet she's still the strongest person he knows. Despite their rivaling families, he won't let anything stand in the way of making her his this time.

Bella hasn’t known anything other than alpha bikers her whole life. Her marriage to one turned into a tragedy, one that changed the rest of her life. She was never the same after that one fateful night that Axel came to save her. Though he remains on the outskirts of her life, he’s always there: watching, waiting, worrying about her. Especially when a rival MC continues to wreak havoc on all of their lives.

Like Romeo and Juliet, his family may never accept her, and hers him, but they’re both determined to tear down the wall that divides them.

Note: This audiobook can be listened to as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, some violence and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who like to take charge, this book is for you.

Wild and Hot!

Holly hell, what a hot listen! Teddy Hamilton and Ava Lucas brought it to the front! Hot cop is just what you need.

Finally!!

I’ve been waiting to hear Axel and Bella’s story and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve loved both characters from the beginning and I’m so glad they finally got their story.
Both Teddy and Ava did a fantastic job narrating!! Really bringing Axel and Bella to life for me.

Love this book!!

I love this book!! The love between Bella and Axel is great! Axel has loved Bella for the longest time so them coming together is so sweet! Axel’s interactions with Diesel are too funny. Jeanne St James writes another masterpiece here! The audio of Teddy Hamilton and Ava Lucas are top notch!

Loved this!!

I love Axel and Bella's story even better the 2nd time around! I read the book when it was released and the audio made it even better. Ava Lucas and Teddy Hamilton did a fantastic job with the narration.

Axel and Bella!

Axel has wanted Bella from the moment he saw her however she is part of the Dirty Angels MC and he is a cop who wants to keep his distance not only from the MC but from their President, his brother Zak.

Bella has survived a horrendous marriage which has left both physical and emotional scars. Axel was there for her on the worst day of her life but she is not prepared to let anyone get that close to her again.

Axel watched her marry another man once and this time he is determined to get the girl but first he must not only help her heal but he must also mend the rift between him, the MC and his brother or they will never be truly happy.

Axel and Bella are perfect for each other and it was great to catch up with the characters from the previous stories. This is an emotional story about healing, forgiveness and new beginnings. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Heart wrenching!

Out of all the books in the series so far this one hit my heart the hardest! I wasn’t sure how much I would like Axel but he really is a good guy and Bella is such a strong woman. They are so in love but come from two different worlds. They struggle so hard with wanting to be together but their two worlds are so different it makes it impossible. Your heart aches for these two and their fight to be together. They both love each other so much but the world doesn’t want them together and it just breaks your heart right till the very end. Bells has gone through so much and she really does deserve her HEA which really has you rooting for them. Bella is one of my favorite woman in this series and I hope more good things come to her. Her and Axel deserve them.

Oh Axel...Swoon

Axel almost, almost, kicked my man Diesel from his number 1 perch. This book for me really gave me perspective into a non Dirty Angels MC character and what it’s like to be on the outside. That doesn’t mean Axel is any less Alpha or possessive because of he sure as heck isn’t.
It was just nice to see the other side.

Bella’s story broke my heart as it would anyone but her strength in the face of it all really draws you to her character. I can completely see why she didn’t want to start anything with Axel because they are from two different sides of things. But isn’t that what makes the best love stories.

I swooned, I teared up, I laughed and smiled. This book really shows you all the emotions of having a tragic past but a hopeful future if you have the gut to put yourself out there to have it.

What do I say about the narration that I haven’t already said about these two fantastic narrators? Ava and her man voice I swear she gives me the shivers in a great way and Teddy, oh sweet Teddy when you say the naughty words I am a pool of mush I tell ya.

Another win for St. James and Hamilton

Series keeps getting better. And man I love Teddy Hamilton narrating! Ava Lucas was outstanding as always. They really brought the St.James MC story to life. Worth every penny and many hours of sleep lost! 5☆

EXCELLENT!!

I'm currently on a binge of This series and Axel was a great addition to the series! There were so many issues keeping this couple apart, but the loved each other and had such a hard time dealing with life outside of just them. Great book, really enjoyed it!! Ava Lucas and Teddy Hamilton are perfect choices in narrating this book!!

i was totally blown away

i had read this story before but listening to it gives a whole new prospective. axel wasnt one of my most favorite men and knowing so little of bella's tragedy made me hesitant. but listening to their story totally blew me away and i think axel is now like number 4 of my favorite damc men. (even if he isnt damc).
