About this listen

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.

Sometimes a series comes along that you cannot get enough of, and this series is it for me. Each book has something in it that keeps me riveted to the story and makes me feel like I am part of the club experiencing it all with them. Jeanne St James explores the relationship between Axel and Bella this time and while I thought Diesel was the one I loved the most, Axel is the ultimate hero. Axel has the club running through his veins, but circumstances throughout his life have kept him away. With his job as a cop and his brother as the president of DAMC, things are definitely at odds. Bella is part owner of the town bakery and is DAMC straight through. Nothing will pull her from the club, but her feelings for Axel are strong. Will these two be able to overcome their issues? This modern day Romeo and Juliet had me listening all night to see how their story would turn out. Bella is a strong woman, has lived through a horrific attack and needs to decide if a relationship with the man she loves will work out. Axel is clear on what he wants, but will he be able to live with the love of his life being in the club? St James masterfully weaves the tale with love and care with these two. Axel is not only honorable and hot, but he is determined to make things work. Bella has some self confidence and trust issues she may not be able to work through. Add in the men of DAMC and Axel's dad fighting the relationship and things are not looking good! The best part of these stories is nothing is easy. The couples have to work through their problems, it may get worse before it gets better, but there is no immediate fix. It's true to life and makes the stories so much better. Love this one, hoping we get to see where these two go in the future in the next installment.

Ava Lucas and Teddy Hamilton are a narration team like no other. This particular narration I found incredibly moving. Lucas gives voice to all the women in the club, but her portrayal of Bella is emotional and full of feeling. Bella has been through a lot, and you can feel her struggle in this story. While you want to shake her, Lucas gives her the voice so you can feel compassion and hope for Bella. Hamilton is the perfect voice for Axel. He needs that clean cut sound that Teddy has for him, but also gives him that alpha feel. He pulls it off without a hitch making Axel the man to love.

Axel...my new favorite

This series just gets better and better. I love finding out about another couple. Bella is such a strong lady she has been through the mill but come out of it stronger. Axel has the DAMC running through his veins but he is a cop and wants to keep his life on the straight and narrow only problem with that is he is madly in love with Bella always has been but she stays well away because she is DAMC and that is not about to change like ever. You could just feel the pull between Bella and Axel but also the angst because of the situation. This is so hot I was a little worried (not really it's queen St James after all) that Axel would be soft and have no back bone but he is amazing and I fell in love with him just like I did the others.
Ava Lucas is again the queen of the series she can do no wrong and she tells the story so well making you feel everything. Teddy Hamilton is smooth and totally Axel he was spot on for the part. I love love love this series and so glad I found itI just can't wait to carry on the DAMC journey. Jeanne St James is the queen of MC romance I would love to be her friend and pick her brains she is a cool chick.xx

one of my favorites this is. the raw emotion and attention to detail is yet again done to perfection. and yet again ava has pulled it out the bag along with teddy with the melt your heart voices. it was great to get an understanding of the reason behind her story and a push and pull romance battle between the 2. these 2 were made for each other and they are exactly what each other need. all in all a fantastic listen. and onto the next i go. DAMC men and sisterhood are truely an amazing read!

emotional!

Can't get enough of this series. I feel like I am part of the club experiencing it all with them. Axel has the club blood running through his veins, but with his job he finds it difficult to find a compromise between that and his love for Bella to make it work. Bella is DAMC all the way through, there is nothing and no one that will pull her away from the club, Bella is a strong woman, has been through hell and survived..
Axel is not only honorable and hot, but he is so determined to make things work. The best part of these stories is nothing is easy. It's true to life and that makes the stories so much better and relatable.
Ava and Teddy did a brilliant job. I found this incredibly moving. Ava's portrayal of Bella is full of feeling, you can feel her struggle in this story. Hamilton is the perfect voice for Axel, alpha with a hint of smooth, commanding and just hot!

So so so good
