An MC President and his enemy’s son make for an explosive combination....

Blade has a motorcycle club to run, and he doesn’t need a turf war on his hands. When a beautiful young man with haunted eyes walks into his bar, Blade’s protective instincts roar to the surface. The kid clearly isn’t made for MC life, but once Blade has had a taste, he can’t let go.

All MCs can burn in hell, as far as Logan is concerned. He’s seen the way his father runs his club, and he wants nothing to do with the life. But infiltrating Hell’s Ankhor is his one chance at escape, and now he’s in the crosshairs of the sexy as sin, President Blade. How can Logan resist the strong, protective man when he’s everything he’s ever wanted in a partner?

But Blade is still a big rough biker who will do anything to protect his club. What will he do when he finds out who Logan truly is? And how much destruction will Logan’s father cause when he finds his son in bed with the enemy?

not only was there background noise in the narration but the random pauses mid-sentence, the repeating of lines and long pauses between sentences and chapters made listening unbearable!
I probably would've given the book better ratings if I had read the book versus listening to it.

This was very difficult to rate, because I absolutely love the story and his voice was wonderful, but there were so many issues with the recording that it threw me out of the story which made it very difficult to enjoy. I ended up finishing the book reading it because I got really frustrated. The first issue I noticed was that he pauses between every sentence for maybe a second or two. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's not how people really talk and sounds a lot longer when you're waiting for the next sentence. This was incredibly frustrating, but I counteracted it by speeding up the book to 1.35. This was fine, not ideal, but I have enjoyed other audiobooks with the same problem this way just fine. If this was the only issue I would have rated it better, unfortunately there were plenty of other problems. Next was that occasionally he would stop and repeat a sentence, going back when he didn't like the way something sounded or messed up. This is normal when recording, but should be edited out before selling it as a finished product. I mean one or two times in the whole book isn't a big deal, and even some of my favorite narrators miss something occasionally, but I only got halfway through the book and he had already done it five times which seemed a little excessive. Then there were the mispronounced or altogether incorrect words or names. You know by context clues what he's supposed to be saying, and if you follow along in the book (The way I like to do if I have the time) You know he was supposed to be saying another name or a completely different word. This was just irritating because it threw me for a second making me puzzle out exactly what was supposed to be said versus what actually was said. It can be especially jarring when there's two sides of a debate and the wrong person speaks what's supposed to be a point for the other side if that makes sense. The final straw was him swallowing in the background. It's one of those sounds for me (kind of like chewing or smacking gum) that kind of turns my stomach. It wasn't subtle And after the 10th time he did it, I was done. I would be willing to give this audiobook another try and rate it better if someone goes back and edits these problems because it really is a great book and I really do like his voice, but I listen for pleasure, and so when it's more frustrating then enjoyable I'm not going to force myself to listen.

a great story that Seriously needs editing

I've listened to this series out of order, so I was happy to go back and get Blade and Logan's story. The story begins the story of the Hell's Ankhor club and describes the president Blade as a hit-first-ask-questions-later kind of guy. He stumbles upon Logan, who hides who he actually is (son of rival MC president) in order to receive protection Blade offers. This story is good and you see more of these characters in later parts of the series. The narrator was okay but he mispronounced some words that are pivotal to the story it became distracting. He does not narrate the rest of the series.I recommend this series to anyone who likes MM romance. I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
