Blood & Bones: Judge

Blood Fury MC #3

by Jeanne St. James, Ava Lucas (Narrator), Aiden Snow (Narrator)

Some risks are more dangerous than others....

Judd “Judge” Scott lives a simple life running a successful business with his cousin, Deacon. As a bail bondsman and bounty hunter, he’s good at what he does.

He never expected Trip to come home and resurrect the Blood Fury MC, reopening old wounds. Being asked by the new prez to fill his late father’s boots as the Sergeant at Arms should be a hard no for Judge. Not only are they some pretty big boots to fill, but he also has too much to lose if things go sideways. Besides it risking his bail bonds business, he’s worried history will repeat itself and Judge wants to avoid ending up in prison, or dead, exactly like his father did. Even so, he reluctantly takes the spot as the club’s enforcer and wears his old man’s colors on his back.

Despite having no interest in a woman complicating his life, he’s intrigued by the young mother who shows up in town with her little girl. And once Judge learns why she’s come to Manning Grove, he finds he has no choice but to get involved. And that could create more complications than they’re worth.

Note: Blood & Bones: Judge is the third book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliff-hanger and an HEA. It’s recommended to check out this series in order.

Judge and Cassie are probably are probably my favorite so far but I think that about every couple so we'll see. ❤️
I love that Cassie was so protective of her daughter and a new guy. She knew Judge was a good guy to her but waited for Daisy to bond with him. OMG the French toast sticks and braids and nail polish was so adorable.
I also loved that he had a son too but they weren't the same age because that's too much coincidence for me. And he showed up at the end! It was the perfect happy ending though I expected to go that way. I wish we got more about how his son felt finding that phone but I think we may see him and Saylor together later in the series.
The whole part about the ex was kind of unnecessary to me. She could have easily been just a single mom and I think it was a bit much but that's okay.
This series is going too quickly!

This book didn't start actually moving along until after 77% and then everything flew by. I felt like the beginning was just drawn out and the meat of the relationship was just beginning when the book ended. I want more of Judge and Ry and their reconnection. I'm not ready to move onto Deacon at this point because of how little we got of the payoff here. On top of that, I feel like there was no follow up with Sig and Red and barely any from Trip and Stella. Since Sig and Red ended before the meat of their relationship, too, I was hoping for some inclusion in this one. I feel like these couple get abandoned on the cusp of the best part.

That said.... Cassie absolutely bugged the shit out of me on how her mind wandered during sex. I hated it. Her thoughts were unnecessary and a lot of time felt too much like she was trying to talk herself into settling for Judge. And, while Judge goes out of his way to get her consent, she just blows through all kinds of boundaries and jumps on Judge without protection, even knowing he is against that and then guilts him into going bare. "you trust me, right?". She felt manipulative and it turned me off.

Eh, well, onto Deacon when it comes out although I'm really looking forward to Shade's book the most.

Judge reluctantly took his father's position as Sergeant at Arms of the Blood Fury MC. He doesn't do relationships the last thing he wants is a woman complicating his life. But when a new woman in town and her rambunctious daughter crosses his path he finds himself wanting more. Cassie has come to Manning Grove to stay with her sister and get back on her feet. She's not looking for a man but the tattoed biker makes her feel like a woman again. JJ's books are more than MC romances. Her characters are real, flawed, and relatable. I finished this book with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.
I loved Cassie and Judge's story.

[Liz [reads books] · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been waiting for Judge and Cassie for awhile now, and they're finally here.
Their story was a quiet one, I think. Boy meets girl, boy wants girl, girl has a lot of baggage, boy takes care of baggage, boy and girl fall in love and HEA. 4 stars

[Ola Adamska · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't, I just can't pass ANY book written by Ms. James - even when those seem like easy read - big bad MC member falling for an unexpected woman... nope, not here - add to it LOTs of emotions, sexy bikers, a heroine that will melt your heart as well.
Judge - I didn't know if I liked him after reading two previous books, but I was interested in him all right! This author has a way with her men - that we all LOVE, ad I grew on Judge so much - especially when his backstory was revealed! Be warned to bring tissues and save time to read this story in one sit!
Cassie is a mother of a five-year-old little girl that will make you laugh out loud! I love Daisy - she's so pure and her way with a big bad biker is priceless! Cassie is strong, but not in the way you can expect her to be, she tries to be the best mum and person for her little girl - I had admired her so much for this!!
This author once again stole my heart and I'm begging for more of her words! I can't wait for the next story in any series written by Ms. St. James

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even though Judge has his reservations he finds himself honoring his family tradition and back with the Blood Fury MC in the same role that his father held. He has been burnt by love in the past so he is content to be alone until a fiery five year old girl decides to play matchmaker between him and her mother.

Cassie has recently come to town and only wants to leave her past where it belongs. She is focused on giving her daughter the best life she can and because of her painful past isn’t looking for a relationship especially with a man like Judge who not only intimidates her but intrigues her as well.

These two couldn’t be more perfect together. Although initially Cassie isn’t sure about Judge she soon finds out that underneath his demeanor is a protective man with a big heart and once she realizes that her feisty personality starts to emerge while Daisy is a scene stealer who is sure to bring a smile to your face.

5 star review of Blood & Bones: Judge (Blood Fury MC #3) by Jeanne St James

Audio Review
Where do I start? It was great to be back in Manning Grove and the Blood Fury MC. I fell hard and fast for bad boy Judd “Judge” Scott and the women that brought him to his knees, Cassie and her precocious 5 year old daughter Daisy. Blood & Bones: Judge was a great addition to the series.
The performance by Aiden Snow and Ava Lucas was spot on and they brought the characters to life for me. I loved how protective Judge was of Cassie and Daisy and I particularly enjoyed the relationship that he developed with Daisy. What a sassy little girl she is and in my opinion there were times that she almost stole the book away from Judge and Cassie.; I just adored her.
This was a gritty, emotional, at times humorous story that touched me on a number of levels. Both Aiden and Ava brought all that to life for me with their performances and I for one cannot wait for the next book in the series.

[Nicki - The Overflowing Bookcase · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nothing better than watching a rough and tough MC Sergeant of Arms brought down a few notches by a pint size little girl, but when Daisy insists that Judge say hello and become "not a stranger" it starts a series of events that brings Judge to his knees. Cassie is trying to start a new life for her daughter and herself, one where she stands on her own to feet and relies on no one. With Daisy setting the relationship in motion will the baggage that Cassie brings with her be too much to overcome? Or will Judge's help be more than she bargained for? I absolutely loved this book. Big and burly come together with soft, sweet and innocent. Every page will pull your heart strings and will become one of your favorites.

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Of all the new people, Judge is the one who reluctantly seems to be in the MC. You weren't sure why, but seeing his version of things from the past and how he was hurt made sense. I loved how smitten Judge was with Cassie right away, loved even more that Daisy wasn't not one lick afraid of Judge, even though she should have been. Her determination to make Judge her new friend made me laugh.

I thought that Cassie and Judge's relationship went at a good pace, considering all that they were up against. While I was glad that Cassie finally was free, just wish things would have went down quite like they did.

The ending had me laughing, loved how Judge's past came around to his present and gave him one of his deepest wishes.

Dnf 40%. The FMC buggs the shit out of me. When I hear one more of her dumb questions I am going to throw my Kindle against the next wall.

This one didn't grip my attention like the others and I did skip through in places. I also thought the child was not endearing but in need of some good old fashioned discipline.

[Shelley L · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 3rd member of the Fury MC. He was the son of the original who as an enforcer murdered his own brother, left his family handing and died in prison.
As the enforcer for the new BFMC, he takes his role, reluctantly, but seriously. He was scared as a child watching his father, but then burned his new role when he failed, in his mind, the club dealing with the crazy meth-cooking Shirley clan.
The romance part was ideally written.
This story was great, fun read with Judge and the little girl, Daisy, and also a great bromance between Judge and Deke and honest connections between family.

[KDLediting · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have very few authors that I like everything they write. Readers have genres they like and some they don't. When an author writes several series it's common for readers to enjoy one and not another. Jeanne St James makes every single book readable, enjoyable and enthralling. Whether it's law enforcement, contemporary or MC. MF, MM, MFM or MMF. Action filled or just dramatic.
This book grabs you from the beginning (most especially if you've read previous Blood Fury books, though that's not required to enjoy it) and keeps you going. You'll feel sympathy, empathy and anger for these characters. You'll laugh and you'll cry. But most of all, if you don't read it, you'll miss out on an amazing book.

Ladies, meet your new book boyfriend. Judge knows the instant he’s sees Cassie that he definitely wants to get to know her better.
Cassie and Daisy her 5 year old daughter are staying with her sister while trying to rebuild her life. She’s rockin the mom bod and knows she should work out more but dang it she’s tired. But Judge, he wants every inch of her and has no problem with her curves.
Despite Judge not being her “type” she’s soon drawn in by the man himself. The way he treats her daughter, his dog and his family shows the kind of man he is. But Cassie has to accept the club too because it’s a package deal, just like her daughter is.
Another fantastic addition to the BFMC.

Blood & Bones: Judge
Blood Fury MC, Book 3
By: Jeanne St. James
Narrated by: Ava Lucas, Aiden Snow

I don't know where these stories come from, but Jeanne St James never ceases to amaze me. Each story so different, each character, true to their own personality, it truly amazes me. This one is my new favorite. I know, every story I feel that way, but there is something about Judge that has totally won my heart. Hurt in the past, Judge isn't looking for an old lady. He is content with his sweet butts until he sees her. Cassie is running from a horrible situation. With her adorable, sassy daughter, Daisy, she has temporarily taken residence in Manning Grove. When she first sees Judge, her feeling isn't mutual. But leave it to Daisy to break the ice. When Judge's company takes on a new case and the person of interest is Cassie's husband, there is a whole new dimension added to their "budding" relationship. Will Cassie come around and see Judge for who he really is? Is Cassie even available? Will Judge be willing to take the chance on love? Be still my heart. This man is so alpha and has the heart of a teddy bear. Sargent in Arms for the Blood Fury, I was ready for the darkness, but while he held a little, his warmth and love shone bright. Cassie is a strong woman, and I loved how she realized just how stereotypes aren't always what they seem. And the dogs. I am a total dog person, and those English bulldogs along with the humorous antics of 5 year old Daisy had me laughing and my heart melting. St James has done it again, bringing flawed, realistic characters together and creating a story of second chances a happiness and love. Not to say there isn't some danger, suspense and drama infused! Banging the gavel on Judge, this book is a winner.

Ava Lucas and Aiden Snow are two of my favorite narrators and teamed up to give us this performance is just icing on the cake! Lucas is fabulous as Cassie and Daisy. Cassie has a protectiveness surrounding her, and in the beginning Lucas let us feel her trepidation, and slowly let us hear her change as the story progressed. Daisy's voice you would think was a child, and the comedic timing, priceless. Judge enters with the deep, baritone of Aiden Snow. His voice projects that masculine protectiveness, but has a hint of warmth that soothes the soul. I loved these two together! If you love Jeanne St James, this one is a must listen!

[Vallsykes · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Blood Fury Mc is coming together, and though the hero, Judge, wants a brotherhood, again, wants to live a good life, with maybe a family, the shadows of the past cast doubt on his decisions and future. Yet, some of those wants come into clear focus when another damsel in distress crosses his path, and this time, this woman, is his. He will look out for her and her daughter and he will not waver in protecting another like he blames himself for doing in the past.

The damsel? Cassie.
Judge is a a man that Cassie would never have thought of, yet with a thief husband, who she wants to make an ex, with money problems, Cassie tries to keep her eye on what she has to do, and that should not include fucking the biker or even contemplating a life with him.

Cassie and Judge have a lilting chemistry that sparks fewer times than it simmers, and it simmers like a warm stew or like a comfortable den couches, with foot rubs and bed-spooning sleeps that all make it like two weary travelers joining in a safe dwelling they somehow found themselves in, and they choose to stay.

This author uses this nesting mood and the protector hero trope as par for the course of a motorcycle-club series. It sometimes hits off the charts enough for a 4-star, but mostly the books fit more like 3-star comfort reads, where the reader settles in as a voyeur, watching the MC be built and unfold.

This third in the Blood Fury series has a somewhat sleepy plot, with a conflict that is dragged on and murky. Yet, the warm fuzzies do come as Judge's regard for Cassie is one of a man who appreciates a woman and wants to build a life with her.

Well hello Judge...or Judd. The third member of the new Blood Fury MC. He was the son of an original who as enforcer murdered his own brothers, left his family hanging, and died in prison. Where did that leave our big, brute of a beard? In the care of his uncle, who put up with no BS and had no tolerance for Judd dragging his son Deacon down. But the truth of it was, Deke was the silver tongue and could talk Judge into just about anything, including getting colours put on his back and his name on his dad's cut in front.
As the Enforcer/Sargent at Arms for the new BFMC, Judge takes his role, albeit reluctantly, very seriously. He was scarred as a child watching his father, but then burned in his new role when he failed (in his mind) the club dealing with craz,y meth-cookin' Shirley clan. Only someone who truly cares would care! And Trip sees that and refuses Judge's request to step down....I loved his conflict within himself. It really made him 3-dimensional and realistic.
On to the romance...oh, the beard! The meet cute is in a parking lot when h and her little girl see H for the first time...and for her little girl Daisy...It was love at first sight of the beard! See Daisy wants a dog and she thinks Judge just might be almost as fun to pet. Well, Cassie (the h) found out that he was even more fun to pet...especially when he was so very talented with his beard and the gorgeous mouth hidden behind!
This story was a great, fast, fun read that had some great moments with Judge and Daisy (little sassy pants herself), a great bromance with Judge and Deke, and some honest connections between family.

But still...cannot wait for my man Shade! Glad he was patched in, but where did the man go?

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Three books in and it's easy to see the Blood Fury MC is going to be an amazing series. I'm so excited to hear there are going to be many books in this series. Each one can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading them in order. The Blood Fury MC is being resurrected and reading the books in order helps to see that progression.

In Judge, we get a prequel that gives us insight into a 16 year old Judge's life. The stuff he saw and was exposed to has shaped who he is and who he doesn't want to be. Once we're introduced to 37 year old Judge, it doesn't take long to fall in love with him. I think, for me, it was his interaction with Daisy. You can tell right then what a sweetheart he is underneath that rough exterior. Oh my goodness, and Daisy, she is such a cutie. Although a little scary in this day and age, I loved her first meeting with Judge. It's like she had an instinct about him and the man he truly is.

Cassie has had her world ripped out from under her. She has nothing left except her daughter. Starting over, living with her sister and brother-in-law, the last thing she's looking for is a man. Having had past trouble with a woman, the last thing Judge is looking for is a commitment, especially one that includes an additional commitment. Too bad for them, but fantastic for us readers, the chemistry between these two is explosive and something they can't deny. I loved watching their relationship unfold. I also love watching the brotherhood of the Blood Fury MC develop, grow stronger, and expand. I can't wait for the next book.
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my honest review.*

Story of overcoming what could break weaker people - highly recommend

For mature readers only (18+ years old) due to subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language throughout, steamy intimate scenes and violence.

This is a MC story in the Blood Fury MC (BFMC) series. While it could be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend it be read in series order, and after the Dirty Angels MC (DAMC) and the Brothers In Blue series for maximum reader satisfaction and to prevent spoilers as there are reoccurring characters and themes.

I love this series and this story is no exception. This is written with a sense of humor that one wouldn’t always expect with this type of genre. I found myself laughing and being almost embarrassed in the very best of ways by some of the things he says. Overall this is well-written with well developed characters and story universe.

Judge is a gruff, large, crude, blunt alpha male with a heart of gold hidden within a rough and tough exterior for the right females, which he meets in a store parking lot one day. The 5 year old could see right through him, but it might take a little bit more time or persuasion for the adult version. Fortunately for him he is willing to take what time is needed.

When he finds out what drove her to their smaller town, he is even more driven to protect both of them and find what will ultimately set Cassie free.

I highly recommend this story for a variety of reasons, but his heart ❤️ and the wrongs done to him I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy (and that is saying something since I have quite a vivid imagination with those I don’t like 🤣).

[Leslee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to say, I loved Trip and Sig. They were great books, awesome reads. But my heart belongs to Judge! This guy was not what I expected at all. He was kinda gruff and closed off, seemingly resembling Diesel from Down and Dirty who is a giant jerk. That all melted away when he was so sweet to a little girl named Daisy. He can't help but be very attracted to Daisy's mom, Cassie. She calls to him on every level. When he discovers that she is connected to a bail jumper worth some scratch, he isn't sure that he should continue to pursue this curvy single mom. Before he knows it, they are entangled and he wants nothing more than to keep them safe and make them his. I can't begin to explain how flipping right these two were for each other. Judge is comfortable in his own skin but he isn't cocky. He takes his responsibility as the enforcer for the club very, very seriously as well as his vow to never turn out like his dad. He is just yummy. Cassie is a firecracker, her banter with Judge is so adorable. She opens up to Judge, she lets him in and sees him for the amazing guy he is. Her daughter is a total live wire, you never know what she is going to say next. I pity them when she is in middle school. Another phenomenal read, I completely adore seeing an MC rise from the ashes of the Originals mistakes and creating something to be really proud of. There aren't enough stars in the sky for this story, for Judge and Cassie. I absolutely, completely love them, they are perfection together!

4 Judge and Jury Stars 

Blood & Bones: Judge is the third book in the Blood Fury MC Series by Jeanne St. James. This book was very slowed paced to start and if I'm being honest didn't really start until about 70% 

He didn’t like little. He didn’t like petite. He needed tall and solid—since he was big himself..

Judge is guilted into taking his father's old position of Sergeant at Arms of the Blood Fury MC against his better judgment. He promised himself and his sister he would never end up like his father or in prison, so jumping back into Blood Fury Mc was not what he had in mind for himself. He also doesn't do relationships or trust women but when a new woman in town and her daughter cross his path he finds himself interested, very interested.

“Shouldn’t be hard since I’m so fuckin’ lovable. Like a giant fuckin’ teddy bear.” 

Cassie has just moved to town and is trying to start a new life for herself and her very talkative daughter Daisy. Broke and down on her luck she is determined to not to reply on anyone but herself. Not looking a big, tattoo biker to be her knight in shining armour but somehow seems to have caught the eye of the bearded biker! They are both completely different but work so well together. 

This book was a very enjoyable read, Judge was very likable and the chemistry between both Cassie and Judge was fantastic and the secondary characters as usual spot on. Even with the slow start, I recommend giving this book a go.

Judge

Jeanne St. James continues her Blood Fury MC with Judge’s book. It’s the third chapter in what is turning out to be another absolutely amazing series. As usual, the author had me hanging onto every word of this story.

I fell completely head over heels in love with the quiet mystery that was Judge. Now at first glance I was only a little intrigued because my heart was still owned by the one and only train wreck called Sig. I thought that I was a one man woman but it turned out that I was wrong. I fell hard and fast for Judge on the first few pages.
It was nearly love at first sight for Judge and Cassie, and then it was like fate was stepping in as their paths kept crossing. My heart melted at the way that big bad enforcer looked after Cassie and her cute little girl, Daisy. He needed them too, of course, because those still waters ran deep in that man. Let’s just say that Cassie wasn’t the only one carrying some leftover baggage from the past.

Like always, Jeanne St. James did an awesome job with this book. The well written story pulled me in with amazing characters who just grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go until the last page was turned. I can’t wait for Deacon and to see what the author has waiting for him in the next book.

If you’re looking for your next great read then I highly recommend this book / series / author.

I received an advance copy from the author for my honest review. Jeanne has written yet another amazing book. Judge is the SAA for the Blood Fury. when Trip resurrected the MC he wanted Judge to take over where his dad left off. He worked hard to move away from the past and doesn't want to repeat it. He also knows the only female he can count on is the love of his life, Jury....his American Bully. Women are only good for one thing, then they need to get up and get out. One day after a ride a cute little girl, to the horror of her mother comes running up to him wanting to be his friend....Judge on the other hand decides he wants to be the hot Mother's friend too. Cassie has come to Manning Grove to get away from her old life, a life she has found out was a complete lie. When her daughter Daisy runs up to the huge biker she is terrified and flushed.... dang he is HOT! Suddenly Judge is everywhere....is he stalking her? When Judge finds out about the details of Cassie's past life that she ran from he knows he is going to help her and that sassy daughter of hers. I love this book, the way Jeanne writes you can actually see the wheels in Judges head turning sometimes LMAO and the interaction between not only him and Cassie but him and his cousin Deke are fantastic!!!

JUDGE....SWOON, I LOVE JUDGE!!!
Judge, the newest Blood Fury installment from Jeanne St. James is AMAZING! Judge is the big, bad enforcer for the club and is quite conflicted about it. His father was the enforcer and that did not end well for him or his family. Judge does not want to follow in his fathers footsteps which ended up tearing up the family and was part of what destroyed the original Blood Fury club. But when Trip came home and brought back the club he reluctantly joined (mostly because of his cousin Deacon's excitement over it.) Judge is quite content just petting his beloved dog, enjoying a good drink and the occational casual companionship. Then one day he is blindsided by the beautiful, blonde Cassie and her precocious little girl Daisy. He can't stop thinking about her and runs into her a few times around town. When they finally get together it is everything they have both been fantasizing about. They are wonderful together and Daisy is a Hoot! I love this book and we get to know Deacon a little better too. There are also some great moments from Judge and Deacons's past and when Judge went to live with him. Great addition to the Blood Fury MC! One-click today! Romance , drama, danger and wonderful relationships!

Judge: KU 347 pgs *** 12/29/22 Judge, Cassie & Daisy

3 stars. It took me a little bit but once I got into the story, I was more invested. I love Judge, he is a huge, muscular beast with a soft heart for those he cares about. He can also be a beast when needed. He owns a bails bond company and hunts for criminals when they break their bond. Deke, his cousin, works with him. He met Cassie when her crook of a husband ran out on his bond. Cassie is a classic mom with a sassy 5-year-old daughter that I fell in love with the first time she entered the story and wish there was much more of her even though she needed her butt spanked a few times! It took a while for Cassie to trust Judge enough to even talk to him, she thought he was stalking her for the most part. There was a lot of sex scenes and those scenes lasted pages and pages which wasn’t necessary and was due to a huge amount of in the head talking so that quickly became boring. It was like the only time they spent together was having sex. The magnetism just wasn’t there between them. The entire story felt like something was missing in their relationship. At the very end, there was a smidgen of more than just hook ups but not the loving feeling I like to get throughout my books I read.

Jeanne St. James has once again outdone herself. Her characters and writing grab a hold of you and won’t let go. Judge is the Sgt. at Arms of the Blood Fury MC. He is a man scorned from a past relationship and doesn’t have time for a woman in his life other than his beloved American Bulldog, Jury. Cassie is looking for a new life for her and her daughter, Daisy, and they decided to come to Manning Grove to start over. When these two meet, sparks fly but not between Judge and Cassie, but between Judge and Daisy. Daisy is a sassy, brash, and outgoing five-year old who forms an unlikely relationship with Judge. When Cassie finally decides to let her guard down and give Judge a chance, sparks fly and the connection between these two is strong. This book has a few twists and turns, and their journey to their happily ever after is filled with adventure, sorrow, and joy. The dialogue between Judge and Deke will have you laughing. The bond between these brothers and their club is one that will never be broken. I will say that the epilogue intrigued and, and I can’t wait to see where that may go. Join the club and take a ride with the Fury. You will not be disappointed!!

I have been looking forward to Judge's story and this exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning Judge's attraction for Cassie could not be ignored but he had his work cut out for him in convincing Cassie to give him a chance. Cassie also had a lot of problems that Judge just wanted to help her with.
All the members of Blood Fury MC have a special bond and not only look out for one another but their families also. They are there for each other no matter what or when it is needed.
I can't say enough about Jeanne's stories. They are that exciting, suspenseful and romantic. Her characters are strong, mysterious and lovable. There were times Daisy had me laughing out loud. Jeanne has a way of describing what is happening that you just can't wait to turn the page to see what happens next.
Wow, what a surprising and fantastic ending. I just loved the epilogue. This was a great addition to the series. There is definitely something going on with Shady/Shade and he is a mystery I look forward to reading about.
I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

[Reva Parks · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you see how Judge falls for the not-shy, sassy five year Daisy he lets pet, braid and hold on to his long beard, you'll love him, too. When you see how devoted he is to his American Bulldog, Jury, you'll understand why he is depended upon by his brothers. When you see the lengths he goes to console Daisy's mother and find her bail bond skipping husband to get his signature on divorce papers so she won't be debt for life, you'll be rooting for Judge, too. When you understand the bad end his father came to and the promise he made to himself and his sister to not ever go to prison, then your stomach will be in knots when you fear he's following his father's tracks, even to wearing his father's Blood Fury MC Sargeant-of-Arms cut and assuming those responsibilities that got his father sent away! But then understanding his sense of loyalty to his MC family, you'll shed tears at his heartache over having his ex-wife steal his one-year-old son from him and how he pays for a phone he sent him ten years ago so he can send text messages monthly and call for birthdays and holidays! Surely this man deserves a HEA and you'll be smiling through tears when he gets it.

Bring on the next one!!

Sargent at Arms for the BFMC and his only love (he thought anyway) his American Bulldog Jury. Life hasn’t always been easy, Judge still isn’t sure he is where he wants to be. And women, well they are just there to get off and then get gone.

He meets a little girl name Daisy who brings a smile to his face because of her larger than life attitude and her mom who isn’t sure what to make of Judge. Cassie’s life has been turned upside down by her soon to be ex-husband and she wants to find a new place to put down roots for her daughter.

Two strong characters finding their way after being dealt a crappy hand at certain points in their lives who find each other. A witty couple, some funny moments between them, and some very soft ones, I love a soft man who knows how to show it. The epilogue…oh my prepare yourself for some water works readers, I couldn’t stop them!!

Great series so far, throughout each book you get a glimpse into the other guys in the club. I could not put this book down, it was another fantastic read by Jeanne St. James. Absolutely loved it!!!
