Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I didnt realize going in how many books came before it so I was a tad bit lost. The age gap had me a little taken aback as well but I rolled with it. It turned out OK

A big thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series but reads well as a stand alone. This is a pretty violent book, so if that is a trigger you might not want to read this. For me, this was an odd twist on Romeo/Juliet. It has a different ending, not your usual. 3 stars

Mamba and Mandy’s story was really good. Mamba has hit rock bottom and struggling to get himself together and Mandy is fighting for independence from her controlling brother who is Mamba’s enemy from a rival group. The world was against them the whole story. I appreciate that the heroine was strong and stood her ground when she said no, and didn’t give up her independence. I wouldn’t say this is a HEA, but a HFN.

Stars: 3.5

I enjoyed Mamba and Mandy's story. The age gap was refreshing, not to wide to cause a case of the ewws. There were sexy and steamy scenes as well as coming into one's own. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it and will read more of this series. This book can be read as a standalone.

Moderately steamy with a bad boy with a good heart - a bit predictable but with good characters. Easy to read and enjoyable but not memorable

This book is another I Read Now rather than requested by Barbara Nolan. I liked this one a lot better than the Past Redemption one I read as well. I loved the misunderstood hero vibe this book gave off. Also, this is the first book in a while I have read that does not end with a HEA. That makes me like the book even more because it is usually a HEA when reading romance. I felt like I could really connect and relate to Mandy on a personal level more so than Nolan's other characters. Overall, a solid read to adventure into something new.

This book was ok, not the usual MC stories I like to read. Not sure I will read more of this series. Just not my type of book that I like.

I'm sorry - this was huge miss for me.

The spice-part was fine - but the story (stories... this is the 4th one in the series, I have read)... I just don't buy it...
It is just not how, I believe or want, a biker club to be...
I guess the only biker universe that works for me is SOA...

Good MC steamy romance. Mamba is ten years older then Mandy. Her brother is the head of a rival gang but he doesn't care. He is crazy about her and will do anything to be near her.

I devoured this book in one sitting. Loved it, I am a big sucker for cage-fighting love stories. Mamba and Mandy went through a lot together and I love that she found her voice in the end and that she made a life for herself without needing a man.

She needed to realize that her life was going from one possessive man to another, but in the end, Mamba also changed for the better and it is an important thing in all relationships to make each other be the best versions of themselves.

Can't wait to read more from the series!

Beyond Salvation/Mamba was a really good streamy and spicy read! It kept my interest entire time. I am really looking forward to reading more books in this series
