The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

It should have been easy. I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death. I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent. The worst part is that I should have known better. Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes. “Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.” Guess what? I didn’t listen. I signed the contract. World tour. Three months. Four Continents. 100 shows. My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

A Return To Form For Shen...
- By FaithSelina123 on 22-05-20
Summary
A fortuitous encounter. A meeting that should never have happened.
Many years ago, two children from completely different worlds forged a connection, a fateful connection, an unbreakable bond that would change their lives forever...
Salome knows only one way to live - under Prophet David’s rule. In the commune she calls home, Salome knows nothing of life beyond her strict faith, nor of life beyond the Fence - the fence that cages her, keeps her trapped in an endless cycle of misery. A life she believes she is destined to always lead, until a horrific event sets her free.
Fleeing the absolute safety of all she has ever known, Salome is thrust into the world outside, a frightening world full of uncertainty and sin; into the protective arms of a person she believed she would never see again.
River ‘Styx’ Nash knows one thing for certain in life - he was born and bred to wear a cut. Raised in a turbulent world of sex, Harleys, and drugs, Styx, unexpectedly has the heavy burden of the Hades Hangmen gavel thrust upon him, and all at the ripe old age of twenty-six - much to his rivals’ delight.
Haunted by a crushing speech impediment, Styx quickly learns to deal with his haters. Powerful fists, an iron jaw, and the skillful use of his treasured German blade has earned him a fearsome reputation as a man not to be messed with in the shadowy world of outlaw MC’s. A reputation that successfully keeps most people far, far away.
Styx has one rule in life - never let anyone get too close. It’s a plan that he has stuck to for years, that is, until a young woman is found injured on his lot...a woman who looks uncannily familiar, a woman who clearly does not belong in his world, yet a woman he feels reluctant to let go...

Best MC series
Re-Read 1/30/19 I still feel all the feelings from this book. Styx, Kai, AK, Flame, Rider (Yes, him) and even that blockhead Viking still own my dirty heart.
This review will not be coherent because I am full of feelings and things.
All you need to know is that the characters in this book are flawed to all hell and they are now my babies. This is a MC romance, but not the usual type. The characters are way rougher round the edges than what I'm used to, and I can see why this wouldn't be for everyone. But I was HOOKED, especially because the narrators were AMAZING.
This focuses on Styx and Mae. Styx can't speak because of a bad stammer and Mae was raised in a religious cult. They briefly met as children and hadn't ever forgotten about each other even when they met (okay so that part was a little suspend your reality but shush) 15 years later.
As is typical with me, I've latched on to the side characters (even the one who broke my heart) and I was often in stitches from laughing so hard.
It was rough in places, no doubt, and there's a bunch of TW for rape, abuse, assault, murder and really bad language in this. This is not a book for kids. But I'm now obsessed with the Hangmen and Tillie Cole might be my new fave.

Action and dark romance with many engaging characters.. great story!
I really enjoyed this book, I haven't read an MC story before but this caught my eye. The characters were engaging and drew me in. Mae and River had an endearing connection that started with a brief engagement when they were young. She's the tormented runaway who has endured so much at the compound where she and her sister's led a sheltered life and were brought up. He is a young handsome President of an MC withdrawn due to his speech impediment, yet confident in leading his MC, trusting the brothers who surround him and would die for him. When Mae and River meet again their connection rekindled once more, draws them to one another. Reading this makes want to find an MC (minus the killing, guns, and treatment of women if they're not head over heels in love with you!!). The passion is simmering rather than explosive, but that is expected i guess for someone who has experienced such a harrowing upbringing as Mae. I am excited to read the other MC brother's stories.. especially Ky, Flame and Ryder.

I could gush all day about the tears, the laughs, the gripping characters, and the kick-ass brothers, but I strongly suggest you find out for yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the Hades Hangmen series. And what a great start to my first MC, and, my very first Tillie Cole novel! Brilliantly done, lady. Loved it.
Bikers, alphas, humour, heart, wonderful dialogue, and a well written story, you can practically smell the leather.
Read the book, or listen on audible, the narrators were excellent.

Not for the faint of heart
This MC romance is definitely hard core. Women are bitches, there are club whores, there's gun running, torture and murder. Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it.There is also a look into a religious cult that santions rape of 8 yr old girls. If you are sensitive or gave triggers, this isn't for you. That being said, there are also some wonderful characters that develop beautifully throughout the plot. The thesis seems to be that the human soul can overcome unbelievable adversity. Worth a credit, in my book.

Warning ~ Not For the Faint of Heart!
Wow! What an emotionally charged story!
I fell in love with the story and look forward to listening to the rest of the series; however, this was one of the darkest MC's I've listened too so far. It may not be for everyone.
Tillie Cole did an amazing job creating a heart wrenching story that captures the essence of the MC world, and the horrors of a depraved fanatical religious cult. Told from two POV's from different worlds, we follow the characters as they are reunited by chance, deal with the horrors from their past, hang on to each other with everything they have, and what one man will do to keep the love of his life.
Some spoilers:
Styx's whole life has revolved around the Hades Hangman MC. This club doesn't hold back, it's tough, crude, does illegal activities, and all the sex, drinking, and killing has shaped Styx's into one of the toughest MC's Prez. Due to a speech impediment, he's only been able to talk to three people, his dad, best friend and the young girl he's been obsessed with every since their unexpected meeting years ago. Because he doesn't talk around others, he's earned the scary reputation as the Hangman's Mute.
Mae was raised by a fanatical religious group, and due to her beauty, she was deemed a "cursed." As one of the cursed, it was believed they would more than likely sway a man from their righteous path. Due to these wrapped views, she suffered many horrors from an early age. Fearing for her life, she made a desperate attempt to escape, and was hurt badly. Barely alive, she found herself at the Hades Hangman's MC. Recognizing each other from years ago, a bound between Mae and Styx starts to grow. Styx would do anything to protect Mae, and she's never felt safe except with Styx.
While the journey for these characters was hard, intense and at times not easy to listen too, I found myself totally engrossed and unable to stop listening. The characters and plot were well thought out, developed, and had twist all through the story. This was one of the best MC's I've listened too; however, I have to warn you, it's dark, unapologetic, full of bad language, and has sexual abuse, but it's a story that will stick with you well after you finished it.
J.F. Harding and Annie Green's performance was AWESOME. Due to one of the main characters, this was not an easy story to narrate, but this dual nailed it. They really brought this story to life!
Definitely worth a credit!

YES!!! IT IS YOU BABE, FOR SURE 100% !!!
I am a big fan of Tillie Cole's, and I decided to start reading her Hangman Series, with "IT AIN'T ME BABE" being the first book in the series. I was hesitant at first, I do love a motorcycle club book and a Hot, Sexy, Bad Boy Motorcycle Man is always delicious, but a book with cults, and a club named after the Greek God Hades which is the Devil/Satan, had me feeling uneasy, but leave it to the Brilliant and Talented Writer/Author Our Tillie Cole to make everything blend and work well together to bring us readers a dark, twisty, romantic, edgy book that does not cross any lines or leave any feelings of uncertainty and/or uncomfortableness at all. Instead, a book that I enjoyed reading and enjoyed more by listening to and a series that I am looking forward to continuing on with the other books that follow.. Find your Motorcycle Man, hop on for a Dark, and Dangerous, Wild ride with Tillie Cole's Hangman Series!!!

PEDOPHILIA IN THE NAME OF RELIGION
The publishers summary is spot on. This is a very different MC series. Fitting that the MC's name is Hades Hangmen since they fight a religious cult.
I never give spoilers but I think people need a warning with this series. The cult, adult men, rape girls starting at the age of eight years old all in the name of religion. Of course, the men also have more than one wife.
This series is dark, gritty, and sometimes sick. I cringed through parts of the book. We learn a lot about how the girls/women are mistreated in the cult and there's talk about religion.
Tillie Cole has once again written an all consuming series. I also love her Scarred Souls series.
J.F. Harding and Annie Green gave a fantastic performance. Especially since Styx stutters. Annie's voice is perfect for the young girls she's portraying.
This is absolutely worth a credit if you like dark and gritty.

It’ll Rev Your Engine
First of all, I think both of the voice actors did an amazing job! They fit their characters really well and I found myself looking forward to hearing both of their parts equally – I think their performances would give an edge over reading the book.
Fortunately, I had read other reviews and was prepared that the story would be dark, involving a motorcycle gang, a creepy as crap cult and child sexual abuse. I have some mixed feelings about the characters themselves in that many of them demonstrate behaviors that I would characterize as less than ideal (or evil), like alcoholism, murder, rape, prostitution, sexism, wearing too much leather while not wearing underwear… And yet many of the characters, particularly the main ones, express redeeming qualities like bravery, perseverance, loyalty and amazingly enough: selective kindness. I feel like I should not like someone who is frequently violent and murders people… and yet Styx is somehow sympathetic and dynamic enough that when paired with a kind, naïve and slightly damaged young woman, something about it just works. Given the environment that each grew up in and the traumatic things they experienced, I can appreciate their struggle. There was something unique and really interesting about the characters, setting, and situation that kept me wanting to keep listening to more. Despite being dark, I wasn't ever depressed - I kind of wanted to see Styx f*** some s*** up.
Of the main duo, there was an insta-love element, or rather, obsession, that at least makes more sense here, regarding it’s formation, than it does in many other romance stories. On multiple occasions I found myself thinking “You guys don’t even know each other yet!” I don’t think the obsession had much to do with actual love. It started with intrigue and a strong connection, then gradually got around to the love part – after a lot of lust – and a few flesh wounds.
If you go in knowing that this book will be dark and violent in places, and you’re in the mood for a gritty sort of romance with some alpha-male antics, guns and motorcycles then you will enjoy this! It definitely leaves an impression, days after finishing it I’m still thinking about it.

Great series starter
This was a new author for me and this audiobook delivered a spellbinding story of a connection between two souls over many years and distance. Having only seen one another once as children through an impenetrable fence, the hero and heroine find each other again in the midst of terror. This book has dark elements, but the story of love is the focus. The narration was excellent and I really think the male narrator did a fabulous job depicting a person with a speech impediment. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Really good story
What did you love best about It Ain't Me, Babe?
I loved Styx's heart. The book is filled with a few too many swear words, but I guess that makes it realistic. Even with that, I loved the story. It is well written and I have a new favorite author.
What was one of the most memorable moments of It Ain't Me, Babe?
The dynamics between May, Strider and Styx. The scene's were well done, the story heart rending.
What does J.F. Harding and Annie Green bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrators are fantastic in this book. I love the way they speak without the choppy broken sounds that so many use. They speak smoothly, with emotion taking nothing from the story, just adding to it. Both do a fantastic job!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I never know what to say to this question... they should replace it... I'm a reader, not a writer of taglines...
Any additional comments?
This story is well worth the credit. There is not one bit of it that I would wish changed except maybe a few less swear words. It grates on the mind a little but its still so good that I'm going to buy the other two knowing full well they will be in the same format. Very talented author!

Absolutely LOVE this book!
Fantastic narration! Superb story! Can't fault this book at all. It's been a while since I've heard a good book. And I see this author has plenty of other good read so I'll definitely be snooping in her bookshelf.
