Summary

Who’d want a guy like me?
Sure, I can make my MC brothers laugh, but I’m not good for much else.
Muscle? Sure.
Smarts? Not so much.
At least Brennan knows I’m one hot mother.... Well.... You know.
No one ever wants me for more than a roll in the sheets.
No one except Brennan.
Will he still want me when he realizes how messed up I am? 

Joker is more than just fun and games.
He’s full of wisecracks, seems to live to rile everyone up, but the club enforcer has hidden depths.
Depths that only I see.
When the MC has a job for me, it’s the perfect opportunity to get close to Joker.
I want to keep his smart mouth busy.
With my lips.... And other things.
But the closer we get, the more of his pain I see.
I want to find a way to help him heal.
Will he let me in when he’s spent his whole life hiding? 

Joker always has a wisecrack ready, but Brennan can see the secrets and pain he’s hiding. These two collide in Joker, Book 8 of the Hell’s Ankhor stand-alone m/m romance motorcycle club series.

Joker....

I loved seeing Joker be vulnerable and tear down his walls to let someone in. I can't wait to see how he evolves with the "dirty" jokes in future books because he can't let that completely go.

Don’t Judge a Biker by His Jokes

My heart ached for Joker. He had the worst self esteem, and wasn’t used to anyone caring for him, and when he finally found people who did, he had trouble believing it was true. I wanted to hug him throughout the entire story.

Brennan was such a great guy. He was perfect for Joker, and vice versa. I loved how encouraging he was and how he saw Joker for the man he was trying to hide.

This series has weasled it’s way into my heart, and I love these guys. I cannot wait to listen to Nix’s book.

David Allen Vargo does a phenomenal job bringing these men to life. He can capture the gritty couces needed for these tough but gentle men.

Another amazing romance!

I've said it for every audio in this series, but I'll say it again: David Allen Vargo is a fantastic narrator, and I especially love the way he's been bringing my favorite MC club members to life. I had my suspicions that Joker wasn't the menace everyone made him out to be, but even I couldn't have predicted what a heart of gold this sweet man had lurking under his rough exterior. I've always been a sucker for the misunderstood ones, the guys who seem tough and abrasive but are really just hiding behind a shield. Joker was the perfect example of that kind of man, of a man who would rather be loud and annoying than invisible but who would never admit his insecurities to anyone. As I learned more about his past, about his family and his amazing volunteer work, my heart absolutely melted and all of Joker's actions made sense to me. Every crude joke, every outburst of anger wasn't coming from a bad person, just a person who didn't know how to be anything but the class clown and lone wolf. As this story progressed, it was such a joy to see Joker shed that outer skin with Brennan and finally start to open up to someone. Gaining Joker's trust was a fragile, delicate process, but Brennan was up for the challenge. I absolutely adored watching these men take pleasure from simply being around each other, and their sexual chemistry was off the charts. What elevated this story from a lovely romance to something truly special was seeing Joker gain acceptance from his MC family after so many months of tension. By the end of the book, Joker was almost unrecognizable from the closed-off, loud-mouthed man I met before. Seeing him happy, seeing him find peace and love with Brennan and feel worthy and supported by his Crew filled my heart to the brim with happiness.

Another enjoyable audio in this series

Joker is the wisecracking, sarcastic club enforcer that keeps everyone at arms length and that everyone takes for granted, but the pain he’s hiding beneath the surface is no joke. Brennan sees it and wants to uncover what Joker is masking and help him work through it and heal. The result is a really steamy, romantic (in an MC gritty kind of way), emotionally charged story. As usual, it’s well-written and the characters have dimension and depth. In terms of narration, David Allen Vargo gives a solid performance. His voice fits with the tenor of the book and the series because it has a richness and depth to it that is the appropriate counterpoint to the characters and the story. He created two distinct voices and consistently delivered them. All in all, another great story in this series.

Another winner

I felt so sorry for Joker as this book started. He doesn't think much of himself and he really is such a great guy. A sweet, marshmallow interior hidden behind the enforcer walls of jokes and smart remark so that no one can get close to him. Then, there is Brennan who is just the man to get past those walls and let us and Joker see how great he is. This is a romance where love really does change a life and stories like this are why I will never miss an entry in this series. David Allen Vargo did a wonderful job with these characters. You totally believe his Joker with no self-confidence at the beginning and you can actually hear him change as the story progresses.

Beneath the mask

This is another incredible story in the Hell's Ankhor series. The authors did a great job job slowly revealing Joker's fears and insecurities, his past, and all the things that made him so volatile, going from open to shut down to flying off the handle in seconds. I really liked Brennan. He was so strong and understanding, giving Joker every chance, not being put off by his moods. He was truly the first, and maybe only, person to ever really SEE joker. The kids were great, and I loved how the motorcycle club once again showed what a committed part of the community they are. It was also fantastic the way they treated Joker after they learned his secrets, and offered to help him, like a true family would. I'm still puzzled as to what was wrong with Joker's parents and why they would devote their lives to one son and completely ignore the other, but I suppose it happens.

The narration was very good, full off emotion, and really brought out the characters' feelings. Good pacing, and voice differentiation for the characters.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
