In the darkness is where I first met him.
Alone at a water fountain, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Ready to give up.
From the shadows, his voice came to me.
Soothing. Comforting. Rough as the blackest night.
I didn’t see him.
I didn’t even know his name.
All I knew was he saved me that night.
He put my back on my feet.
And he kept me on them.
Every single time I needed him, he found a way to come to me.
My stranger of the night.
My dark warrior.
My name is Scarlett. You probably know me.
I’m America’s number one country music star.
I’m also the loneliest girl you’ll ever meet.
He’s as free as a bird. A nomad. Travelling alone.
Nobody to hold him back.
He holds the freedom I pray for every single day.
He shows me that life can be so much more than what I’m living.
When danger comes knocking, he’ll also show me a different world.
A world I never knew existed.
A world that both terrifies and fascinates me.
A world that goes against everything I’ve ever known.
A world of Iron Fury

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Can I tell you how excited I was to see Bella Jewel was writing another MC series! She has such a way of writing hot MC guys and sassy women that keep them on their toes. This one was no different and I absolutely love Maverick .

Scarlett is the face of Country Music but when you have strict schedule and cannot be alone it can be stressful and confining. Scarlett manages to sneak away one night and hears a deep husky voice that was comforting to her. She thought she would never see him or know who he was but little did she know Maverick had other plans. She was drawn to the biker she following her bus. Then when she saw him and her concert and heard him she knew he was her mystery man from the fountain.

Maverick is a member of the Iron Fury MC trying to outrun his past and get his life back together. Then one night he hears the prettiest cry every that makes even his heart hurt and he has a new direction to follow for the time being. Even though he knows his brothers need him back at the club to handle all that is going down there. He found his new mission and it includes a few concerts watching the beautiful Scarlett.

The way these two broken soles melted together was solidifying. I enjoyed the twist and turns this book took me on. I was flying through this book the suspense and everything else had me burning through the pages. I absolutely loved seeing both sides of Maverick not only the strong alpha side by the sweet kind side too. I so need more of this story and find out what happens next. I am so looking forward to Amalie and Mal story.

A few of my favorite lines:

“What’s a girl with a voice like an angel and tears that are makin’ even my heart hurt, doin’ sittin’ out here alone? It’s not the safest part of down, darlin’.”

“Barriers don’t have to be objects, darlin’. Barriers can be simply your own heart. No matter how far you travel, or how many people you meet, none of it can penetrate if the barrier is around your soul.”

Maverik’s broken. His entire world came crashing down around him without warning, stolen from him brutally in the night by the one female he entrusted his soul to. His Wolf is all he’s got left, both are bitter, wary, untrusting and dangerous. They hide behind a wall of snarky, biting humor erected to keep the rest of the world at bay as they try desperately to cling to survival each and every day. He’s managed to find shelter in a clan of shifters. They have given him the support he needs to nurse his wounds in his solitary, self-imposed emotional isolation. It’s barely an existence but it works for him, only now it’s getting harder. His clan is growing; they’re finding their Mates, their One. They‘re having babies, loving, laughing – living. And he’s not. He’s feeling more and more isolated. And the fact that he’s stumbled across another female that gives every indication that she’s his Mate is not helping. The last one almost destroyed him; there is no way in hell he will allow another female, any female, an opportunity to complete the job.
Valerie’s a Lion shifter. She’s independent, strong, loving and kind. She’s got more curves than a country backroad and gave up the struggle to be model perfect years ago. She’s learned to love who she is and knows exactly what she’s got to offer the right male. Her Lioness has dreamed all her life of finding the One male who’s meant for her, the one who will love her unconditionally and be proud to call her “Mine.” Unfortunately for her; the wild, tatted, mohawked and oh so sexy Wolf shifter who joins the local clan that frequents her brothers bar is the male that her Lioness decides is hers. And the bastard won’t even acknowledge her existence! His repeated rebuffs of her attempts to just have a conversation with him end in her blazing hatred for him. If he can’t see past the curves that adorn her body to the amazing female underneath, it’s his loss, not hers. Why then, is it his face she sees each time she closes her eyes at night, each time her new fiance’ kisses her?
Maverik’s had enough. The little Lioness calls to him in a way that he can no longer ignore. He wants her; forever. But before he can do anything about it, he’s got to deal with the ashes of his past. He’s got to go back, lay it all to rest and try to salvage some semblance of who he once was, of the honorable male that died that night. Maybe then he’ll be enough. Maybe then she’ll see him as the male he once was proud to be. Will he be able to man up, to make peace with his past before her hatred of him becomes so intense that she’ll never be able to see around it? He certainly hopes so, because without her, he’ll never survive.
This is the fourth book in the Avaleigh’s Boys series, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of South Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix-matched group of shifters who depend on one another and are loyal to no end. These are their stories.
Warning: Intended for mature audiences. These stories contain hot bear, dragon, wolf and lion shifters. They like to cuss, fight and love their women. This book contains explicit love scenes, lots of use of the “F” word (among others), some violence, and possibly some abuse both real and inferred that may be disturbing for some readers. If you are offended by these subjects, please do not buy this book.

I purchased this book.

Oh Maverik-Ass how I have longed to see your story!!  We saw glimpses of how you COULD be if you weren’t broken but to see your tale and then see you become the man we knew you could be….yep I had a new teary moments.

Mav has denied Valerie since the day he knew she was his mate.  He has been hurtful and making her think he would rather sleep with any other shifter but her.  He has destroyed her.  Once he got to snuggle with his niece, Daisey, he realized he wanted THAT.  He wanted a family.  He wanted love….he wanted his mate!!

Mav goes back to his past to put it at rest.  We meet some very important people in his life and then see him go 110% after his Mate, Valerie.  When Valerie rejects him then we see a new clan member, Maia, go and plead his case to Valerie.  The story of the two of them coming together, dealing with his past and present was a great emotional read.

We also got to see 2 other stories starting in this book.  We see Riley and Maia find each other and boy is THAT a hysterical couple.  I can’t wait to see what happens with them in the future!!  Maia is no weeping flower and with her new buddy Delilah at her side…she will not be pushed around by anyone!!!  But the story that I have been WAITING FOR…the “Ever” that I have been needing to read…..BAM meets his Mate.  OMG the chills at the scene………….I had tears in my eyes because Bam is so lost and confused.  His mate is just as confused because she thinks Bam isn’t interested when in reality he thinks she isn’t his.

There was so much family in this book.  So many amazing story lines like Kaid and Delilah plus the Avaleigh and Daniel’s new adventures!!  Seriously this series makes me so excited when I buy one.  I make sure I can sit and read it undisturbed because I need to know my Alpha and clan are ok.

Coby Porter and Brogan are back for a great novella incorporating Harper Sloan’s Corp Security in Hope Town, GA.

Coby and Brogan are still working through everything they have endured. a little push from the one and only Dr. Santo’s has Coby on a mission. One he is keeping from Brogan who as every woman miss construes things a bit when he is gone and won’t tell her everything. Coby is trying to work on him and Brogan to get them back. What he is doing is so heartwarming and fives me the feel goods. I never would have expected Coby to do what he is doing but WOW makes my heart flutter.

Watching the interaction between Coby and the Corps Security family is fascinating. I loved seeing the connection Coby has with Hope Town and the military guys. TO see that Brogan was able to sit in the one and only Sway’s chair and get a scalp massage was high pitch squeal worthy.

J.M. Walker did a great job of melting her King’s Harlot series and Harper Sloan’s Corp Security together for this Kindle Worlds. She had my emotions all over the place for a novella she tapped into every emotion and hit them hard. Makes me want more of both series.

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.
