<br>★★★★ <b>4 stars!</b><br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392555876i/8577459.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Bella Jewel has done it again. Once again she's created an awesome, riveting, deliciously dark biker romance. Still, it wasn't your regular/typical biker story but instead it was original, captivating and I could not put it down once I started it. <br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392573739i/8579479.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Meadow is a young girl on the run. Ever since her father died over a year ago she's been running from the man who killed him in cold blood. A man named Axel. A man she once used to adore, one she used to know so well. All of that changed though the moment he shot her father right in front of her. The moment before he died, her father gave her a USB stick with valuable information and made her promise him to never let Axel get his hands on that information. And so she ran. Never staying in one place for a long time, she's been traveling around the country trying to get away from Axel. But he's never far away and time and time again he's been able to track her down. It's becoming harder and harder to escape him but she's determined to guard the USB with her life and never let him win.<br><br><blockquote> <b> <i>"I know how it feels to be surrounded by darkness, Cricket. But don't you ever…ever let it consume you."</i> </b> </blockquote><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392573739i/8579480.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Axel himself has a dark past as well. No one knows what happened to him that one time when he went missing for almost six months. When he came back though, he was a changed man. He'd always been dark and moody, a bit unapproachable even. But when he showed up again after he'd been missing for so long, he appeared even colder and more merciless than before. Now he has built up an unpenetreble shield around his heart and emotions. All he cares about is succeeding the task of gathering the USB stick Meadow's father had given to his daughter right before he died. It information that might bring down his club and get him sent to prison. And he's willing to do <i>whatever</i> it takes to prevent that from happening. He's ruthless in his attempt to chase Meadow and capture the much needed evidence on that stick before it falls into the hands of the wrong people.<br><br><blockquote> <i> <b> “People don't change, Axel. They simply take paths that lead them down roads which are sometimes damaging. It doesn't change who they are, it merely adds to it. You're there, somewhere, past all that darkness and brooding.”</b> </i> </blockquote><br>At first I wasn't sure what to make of Axel. He seemed a bit cruel in his actions toward Meadow but at the same time his rare kindness showed that he did have a softer side. He was a very intriguing character and his history made me feel all the more sympathy for what he went through. Meadow on the other hand was a very strong heroine, albeit a bit reckless at times. But I liked the fact that she stood up to Axel and didn't let his darkness push her away or make her cower in fear. Their history made the development of their relationship all the more interesting. They're both stubborn and determined to not let the other one win and it was fun trying to figure out which one of them would give in first.<br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392573739i/8579481.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Overall, Angels in Leather was a thrilling, captivating story and it wasn't just another "biker romance" since it focused more on Meadow and Axel's relationship and past instead of on the usual "club business" of an MC. From the moment I read the intense prologue I could not stop reading this story and it managed to keep me hooked the entire time with it's many twits and turns. A highly recommendable read and I'm already looking forward to the next part in the series!

<b>4 Stars</b><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392321624i/8538378._SX540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><b> <i>I know how it feels to be surrounded in darkness, Cricket.

Angels in Leather was an addictingly dark thrill ride that I couldn't put down until the last page.<br><br>I was completely enthralled from the prologue. I also may have also been confused as hell, but I knew I couldn't put it down until I figured everything out. Every time I though I had one thing straight, Bella Jewel would thrown in something that would leave me questioning everything I thought I knew. I loved it!<br><br>After watching her father get shot in cold blood by the man that once meant everything to her, Meadow is on the run. Forced into hiding because of the information she carries, she's constantly looking over her shoulder. She's not paranoid. She knows that the man that killed her father is now after her and the information she has. He wants her caught, and he'll stop at nothing to catch her. Just because this is a man that she's known and been infatuated with since she was a little girl changes nothing, because the man that he is now is utterly terrifying. So she continues running for over a year...until he finally catches up with her.<br><br>Axel Wraithe is not a biker that you want hunting you. He's a mean motherfucker with issues that are a mile wrong. Ever since he's come back from the 6 months he was missing, he's been different. He's broken, fucked up, his cravings on the dark side. He's been running after Meadow for over a year. The fact that she's the daughter of a man he once called his friend, no longer matters. She has information he needs, and he'll stop at nothing to get it from her.<br><br>Meadow might be terrified of the monster that Axel has now become, but she's also confused by her attraction for him. How can a man that's putting her through hell in order to withdraw answers from her still be so attractive?<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392425789i/8557937._SY540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Ladies, if you like your heroes to be utter assholes. I'm talking completely, borderline-unforgivable-yet-you-still-love-them assholes, Axel is your man. The first half of this book was no light read. There was no starry eyed attraction, lust at first side, I-have-to-be-mean-to her-but-I-can't type of attraction. Hell fucking no! Axel was a total dick. He puts Meadow through hell.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392425789i/8557938.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>But beneath the dangerous anger and the dark sexual urges was the soul of a man that has been to hell and came back utterly broken. You want to hate him, and yet at the same time you can't.<br><br>And when Meadow's life is threatened, Axel is forced to realize just how deep his feelings for her might run. But if he can keep her alive, does he pose a greater threat to her in the end?<br><br>I loved Meadow's character. She was equal parts broken and strong. I understood how she can feel a pull to someone like Axel. She really gave as good as she got. She was determined to break down his walls, even if he was attempting to build up even stronger ones.<br><blockquote> <b> <i><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380397315i/766520.png" width="50" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy">I just want something.

If you like your books steamy with a side of kink, you'll definitely get that here. Axel's tastes definitely ran on the...darker side.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1392425789i/8557939._SY540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>There were a few minor things that kept this from being a 5 star for me.<br><br>1. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

That seemed just too convenient for me. I'd understand if he escaped, but to escape with the aid of one of the women? How did she get the means to unlock him? How was she not killed for it herself later? This was just too glossed over for me to understand and connect with it fully.</label><br><br>Those 2 things certainly didn't take away my enjoyment of the book.

I am a huge fan of Bella Jewel and I absolutely love biker books, so it pains me to say that this book was definitely not for me. It happens... nothing to do about it....but it still sucks, because I was really looking forward to reading this one. After reading the blurb and all the awesome reviews, I had such high hopes :( <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1568913258ra/28172293.gif" alt="such high hopes - Google zoeken" width="272" height="181" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I like my hero and heroines to be badasses and I don't mind if they are a bit on the cray-cray side...but this was just a bit too much even for me. I also don't think the heroine was really that badass. Sure she knew how to defend herself, but she was putty in the hero's hands and that definitely annoyed me. <br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1568913258ra/28172294.gif" alt="stand up for yourself gif - Google zoeken" width="189" height="166" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I mean he literally tried to kill her by feeding her something she was allergic to....how freaking romantic. I can understand being an "asshole" but this went way beyond that. Not to mention that she caught him getting a blow job from a clubwhore (they were not officially together) and instead of being disgusted ...she pushed the clubwhore away and finished the job herself !! I mean wtf, that is just gross, slobbering on that clubwhore's spit that was already on his dick !!!<br><br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1568913258ra/28172295.gif" alt="gross gif - Google zoeken" width="240" height="165" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I don't mind when the hero or the heroine is with someone else prior to being in a relationship... I can even overcome cheating if the groveling is good enough, but this...no, that was just disgusting. The fact that she also just jumps into bed with him, without asking for a condom, after he tried to kill her, and after finding out he was recently with someone else, really lowered my opinion of her. I like my heroines strong and badass... not stupid... <br><br>So yeah...this was really a miss for me. No worries though, there are plenty of books by this author that I do love and I will just re-read one of those ;)

My thoughts on this book are very mixed. If you can shut off your brain and just enjoy the relationship, you may enjoy this if you can ignore all the issues.<br /><br />First, I will start off with the things I did like. Despite all the issues, the story was very readable and kept my interest. The sex scenes were hot, they both got off on rough sex and rape fantasy type scenarios, which is fine with me when both are into it. <br /><br />Now for the not so great parts. The biggest issue is that the story felt so jumpy and disjointed with not enough detail about the characters or story. We barely know anything about the details of the lead characters lives other than what happens in the story. The heroine tries to commit suicide at the beginning of the book and we never really find out why or how she recovered or anything - just one example of big events that happened and are glossed over.<br /><br />The book is supposed to be a biker book but it barely felt like one. The details of a motorcycle club just weren't there, we were just told the hero was in one. The issue with the heroine's father and the reasons for his killing are way too vague. Also, we are told the heroine's father was going to dump her in another town with no support or help before he went into witness protection by himself, just another thing that didn't make sense because the heroine would have been in danger.<br /><br />Another huge issue for me was that the hero acts in despicable ways to the heroine and it is barely addressed and just glossed over. He is trying to get her to tell the location of this super important USB stick and he takes it to a crazy extreme. He starves her, chains her up, throws her off a bridge handcuffed and then gives her a food she is highly allergic to and she almost dies. The guy is seriously psycho and I couldn't forgive these because she could easily have died. Then she barely cares and just wants to have sex with him and heal his poor little broken heart. WTF. The best thing was, the USB stick that he chased her for an entire year to find then tortured her - he just throws it in a drawer and does nothing with it. He doesn't destroy any info on it that would implicate his club or use the info against other clubs or copy the info onto a computer for safe keeping. Nope, just leaves it lying around so she can steal it again. <br /><br />There are many other things I could complain about, like the heroine's almost rape that didn't affect her, the hero's many issues from his past, the ending where he shows up from another incident that should have screwed him up more but we aren't given any resolution except he is magically ok and then super quick HEA with no other details. Then instead of an epilogue with these two it's other random people we barely know.<br /><br />So suffice it to say, this wasn't a winner for me because of too many plot and writing issues. The story was readable and had hot sex scenes so I am giving it a weak 3 stars.

This contains spoilers.<br /><br />The premise was what really drew me in. There’s something that’s a bit different about it. It still involves MC people and all their fvckedupness, but it also focuses on the angle of a young girl being chased for she’s holding a significant piece of information. Well, naturally I’d be so curious what the information was for esp. when I got a glimpse of it. I just needed to know... <br /><br />However, I found out that the chasing and hiding became more of like a foreplay between the main characters. Actually, I’m okay with that as long as it doesn't deliberately feel that way. But it was too obvious here. The hero even got a boner with the fighting/chasing and the heroine felt weird that she was also aroused. <br /><br />Some things were unbelievable as well. The heroine escaped from them so many times. They got a hold of her as in the hero was literally holding her. He’s a big guy, she’s a little lady. She was even surrounded by ten bikers. But she slipped from them too easily by running with her own two feet. This was just one incident. It’s a waste of time if I’m going to write the other incidents into detail.<br /><br />There were also inconsistencies and inaccuracies. For example, in the beginning of the book, the h was about to jump off the bridge. She said it’s windy, but on the next paragraph, there’s no wind that she could hear the distant hum of beetles in the trees. What? Suddenly it’s no longer windy? And why did it have to be beetles? Another one was when the hero injected a sedative into her arm and she <u>immediately</u> loss consciousness. It doesn’t work that way. For it to take effect immediately, inhalants or intravenous administration is needed. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler. Toggle checkbox to reveal or hide." onchange="this.labels[0].setAttribute('aria-hidden', !this.checked);" id="c8ff57b3-f390-494c-aea5-198b27fafdad" /><label aria-hidden="true" class="spoiler" for="c8ff57b3-f390-494c-aea5-198b27fafdad">Well, intravenous could take effect within a few minutes.</label><br /><br />The hero also claimed that he’s fvcked up. Even other people said he’s fvcked up. That he’s a sick human being. It was mentioned too many times that he’s fvcked up. But really, he’s all talk and no act. I’m not convinced at all. Then, all of a sudden the heroine wanted to save him. Few more pages, she’s in love with him. Where the hell did that come from? They’re just on a serious cat and mouse game awhile ago. <br /><br />The story was actually all over the place. Halfway through, it suddenly became bdsm and role playing. A lot of the pages were about his cock which by the way had four piercings going around the base of his head. Then, I turned it to the next page and here’s what I see...<br /><br /><b>“Your monsters excite me, let them ignite me.”</b><br /><br />That’s like a lyric to a song. There were lines like that at the beginning of each chapter and I found them cheesy. The sex scenes were too generic as well. Not only that, the whole story was too similar to some other books I’d read before. <br /><br />At 80%, I was thinking what the heck was the secret? Where was this story heading now? When I found out what it was, I was disappointed. I felt detached with the whole revelation. And I forgot to mention, it needed editing. There were too many like these... <br /><br /><b> <i>A-A-Axel?<br /><br />H-h-h-he’s not who you remember.<br /><br />H-h-h-he’s fucked up now.<br /><br />H-h-help.<br /><br />H-h-he touched me.<br /><br />H-h-h-how did you get out?<br /><br />L-l-l-lady’s...<br /><br />He r-r-ran off...<br /><br />I w-w-went for a walk...<br /><br />W-w-w-who?<br /><br />What...the...hell?<br /><br />When...it...happened?</i> </b><br /><br />I haven’t mentioned all of them yet. There’s more in the book.<br /><br />I think this is the first time that I said something about editing. I’m not in the right position to point it out. <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler. Toggle checkbox to reveal or hide." onchange="this.labels[0].setAttribute('aria-hidden', !this.checked);" id="d0bead3d-6144-470a-a647-fcae5cf8ea77" /><label aria-hidden="true" class="spoiler" for="d0bead3d-6144-470a-a647-fcae5cf8ea77">English is not my first language</label>. But in this book, it bothered me so much...<br /><br />*sighs*<br /><br />Two-star rating means it was okay. But it wasn’t okay for me. I simply did not like it. I know I sounded harsh, but I invested my time and money on this. And it just frustrated the hell out of me. Sorry, but I had to Let.It.Out.<br /><br />

3 Deeply Tortured, Dark and Gritty, MC Stars * * * <br><br>Bella Jewel has dived deep into a darker harsher world of MC’s. In this new series, Angel’s in Leather, her characters are not easy, typical or one dimensional. She gives us people who have been tested by the horrors of past experiences… who are tied together by an invisible thread causing questions to remain unanswered and locked away.<br><br>None of this story is pretty.

This book earned a one star for the poor writing, but mostly because pieces of other books and a television show have been used to create this story. I have to admit that the author earned 5 stars for being creative enough to "borrow" pieces from different books to use in this book, I would have never thought taking characters and from UnAttainable and UnDeniable, and tossing in some dialogue from Bared To You,and a couple of other books, then adding SOA storyline to complete the story. The parts of the story that weren't "borrowed" from other books, were so poorly written that it caused me to wish for a time machine so that I could go back and slap my 1st grade teacher for teaching me how to read.<br /><br />Accusing someone of stealing another author's work isn't something that I do lightly, and I realize that this review is going to receive a lot of hate, but I am going to take a stand. Don't waste your time in attempting to convince me that the nightmare scene wasn't a combination of Gideon Cross's (Bared To You) and Dirty's (UnAttainable) dialogue. When reading Axel's story about his abuse, I realized that I had read parts of this story before, only it was Dirty from UnAttainable. Parts, such as the abuser, have been changed, but there are too many similarities in the dialogue between AiL and UnA to be a coincidence. If someone tried to sell me a book in which the daughter of the MC president has a friendship beginning at the age of twelve with an older biker who happens to be the president for another MC and who also has an exclusive relationship with a blonde hair club harlot with a big chest named "Miranda", I would have told that person that I had already purchased UnDeniable months ago. I expect similarities to occur between books, especially MC books, but when you can take pages of a story or character and can match excerpts from another book, but slightly altered, there's a problem. Most readers won't care if a story has been stolen from plots in other books, but I do, it isn't fair to the authors of the original works.<br /><br />My parting words to the author of this book that I'm sure are familiar to her, "Reel it in, babe; you feel me!.
