Naomi Porter is raising the stakes and entering the darkness with her new dark MC romance, Hells Bells. The gritty, angsty, and dark stand-alone is set in the Knight's Legion MC universe. You won’t want to miss this book!
His name is Rocky Jones. Dark, disturbingly delicious, and domineering, his piercing gray eyes tempt and disarm. But he doesn't affect me anymore—well, maybe a little.
So what if he's the new president of Hell’s Bells MC? He disappeared without a word, leaving me brokenhearted. I don't care that he's back to rule our town and exact his revenge against the notorious Knight’s Legion MC.
Even if I did want Rocky with every cell in my body, it's far too late for us. He betrayed our love. And so have I. When the club's vice president, Vegas, offered me protection and a job, I accepted. Now that Rocky has returned, Vegas wants me for himself.
With Vegas as his number one enemy and the Knights as his very unlikely allies, none of us know what to expect from Rocky next. Will I be the future queen of the Hell’s Bells MC? Only if he doesn't burn it to the ground. ------------------------ **Rocky Jones (RJ) appeared in Buff’s Reign, book 3 of the Knight’s Legion MC, North Dakota series. This book is legit dark.

DNFed at 60% There is Dark Romance, then there is Disgusting And this was a mentally vomit enducer🤮
There were so many many MANY things wrong in this book and I had to check several times to make sure it was written by a Female author!!!
I've read NP's Knights Legion MC and they were very good MC books Dark, heartwarming, savage with powerful FL and possessive Alpha holes who love them
What happened here is a try to push the boundaries but ended up with falling over And my time is too precious and my tbr is too long to be wasted on trash
I’m behind on reviews and I read this book in one sitting. Please check the note at the beginning of the book for trigger warnings. While I may use trigger warning lists as a happy-time shopping lis, I know that other readers aren’t as twisted as me! This book contains a hot, dominant, unhinged lead (Rocky/RJ) and a female lead (Ella) that does whatever she has to do to protect her child. Themes in this book include a secret pregnancy, motorcycle club dynamics, revenge, found family, etc. The spice in this book is amazing. You have kinks like primal play, detailed chase scene, CNC, spanking, biting, somnophilia…and the list goes on and on. For many dark romances I’ve felt like kinks were thrown in all Willy nilly just to hit a market quota, that isn’t the case in this book. Everything feels organic and perfectly right for the characters. This is a dark/darker book and there are topics of gang gràpe and child abüse that take place in the book (though not in detail). You can feel the love, and obsessive like attraction/relationship, between Ella and RJ. It makes parts of this book so very sad - but the story and read are so worth it. I loved this book and I hope that the author continues with more darker MC themed romances.
Make sure all trigger warnings are looked at before you read this book.
If you are expecting KLMC boy vibes then I’m sorry to say you won’t get this with Rocky. He is another breed of man altogether. What Naomi Porter has done is move away from those alpha males which would do anything for their woman and give us a man who is dark, dangerous and unforgiving but all in the best ways.
This is a dark Mc romance and nothing like anything we have seen from Naomi Porter and I have to say I was not disappointed this is a dark read, that does have you going through a range of emotions and your heart breaks for both Ella and Rocky who both have had to deal with their own turmoil.
This is a story of young love, of a young girl being showing a different life, a way to live until it is all taken from her. These two are pulled apart through by outside sources and each blame the other until they come together years later and have to get over their distrust for each other to get back to what they should have always had.
I didn’t want to like Rocky as I do love those KLMC boys but you can’t help to love him.
Well OMG what an epic read that was. It was Awesome, it was Brilliantly written. Full of drama, full of chaos, full of deceit, lies and very bad men. I absolutely loved Rocky and Ella’s story ❤️❤️❤️ time couldn’t diminish the young love they shared but Ella, after having her heart destroyed fell into a wicked man made trap. Rocky was living a life that didn’t feel like his until his mind cleared and he saw the truth. I was thoroughly entertained throughout this book, it is one you don’t want to miss out on. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎
First, be sure to read the trigger warnings before reading this book. There was a whirlwind of emotions while reading this!!! Seeing Ella and Rocky develop their relationship and the turmoil they both went through after was heart breaking!!! From lust to love to forgotten memories, this book has it all! Oh and the spice, man the spice is crazy good!!! Both Ella and Rocky go through their own versions of hell but in the end, love wins out! I loved the fact that our beloved KLMC plays a part in the overall story as well!
WOW just WOW....... couldn't put it down!! Rocky Jones is something else,dirty, depraved, erotic, dark,but all through the book, there's was an air of being a Knight about him. Characters like Ella normally put me off, yet I found myself willing her to survive (which is a testament to Naomis fantastic wrighting) and get her HEA, which again Naomi didn't disappoint on. Can't wait to see this family develop through the KLMC in future books!
Every book is better than the last!!!

Genre: Dark, Biker MC Romance Series Type: Standalone, but connected to another series. Book Length: Novel POV: Alternating Dual Setting: South Dakota Male MC: Rocky Jones is a young bad-boy biker who is prospecting with the Hell’s Bells MC as he’s the president’s nephew. He had a terrible upbringing with a drug addict mother that turned him into a hard, violent and rather unhinged man. Rocky is 19 when he meets Ella. He has dark brown hair and gray eyes. Female MC: Ella Hill is a sweet young preacher’s daughter with a bit of an edge. She is 16 when she meets Rocky. Ella has blonde hair and green eyes. Endearment: Baby Spice Level: Medium/High Frequency of Spice: Medium Angst Level: High Cliffhanger: No Epilogue: Yes My Review: This was really gritty, sad, emotional, sexy, action-packed and very entertaining. I devoured Rocky and Ella’s story so fast because it was incredibly exciting and super angsty. They definitely didn’t have a sweet romance, it was hard to read sometimes as both of our MCs are put through the absolute ringer throughout their relationship. I really enjoyed it though and couldn't put it down.
One of the best books I read this year! Rocky and Ella’s story is all consuming, you won’t want to put it down. I want their love story; dark, dirty, hurt, happiness and raunchy!!! Everyone wants an earth shattering alpha like Rocky. Love that Naomi always puts family first and foremost.
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Whew, I need a cold shower after reading this book. We finally get to read about Rocky and Ella. Mrs. Porter takes us on an up and down journey with these amazing characters.

As they discover what has kept them apart and why, they struggle to forgive each other as well as those that kept them apart. Will they overcome the obstacles put between them and get their happy ever after? Read to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

BUT!!!!!!!!!! When they reconnect ⚡️⚡️ will fly and people will get their just deserves in what led to them being parted in the first place……AND the KLMC are here!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This author is finally letting her darker side come out in Hells Bells and she has all kinds of warnings because this book isn’t for the faint of heart. This is an in your face dark and gritty MC book that if I could give more than five stars I would.
Rocky and Ella who at a young age were drawn to each but they were from two different worlds with Rocky being brought up in an MC and Ella was the preacher’s daughter. Their lives took such a turn earlier on that separated them and put them through h*ll before they found their way back in the same town trying to overcome so many obstacles.
This book was packed full of lies, betrayals, and darkness with plenty of MC action. If you can handle your MC reads dark and dirty this is the perfect book for you. I can only hope that this author keeps showing us her “darker” side because it lit my world on fire.
I told Naomi Porter at about 30% in I was so mad at her. Luckily, she redeemed herself. This dark romance grabbed me right from the beginning and held me right up until the very end. This book is dark but it’s endearing, romantic, sexy and such a tragic, beautiful story that I couldn’t help but love it. Ella and Rocky’s story is complex. I dived deep into all of my emotions and I was angry, sad, happy and then cheering these two beautifully flawed people who were victims of circumstances. In true Naomi Porter fashion, she surprised me at the end. Again, characters from previous books crossed over and we got glimpses of their lives. We were introduced to new characters and I have already asked Naomi Porter for the next book in the series to be put out yesterday. She told me she’s not quite ready so now I wait impatiently for another perfect story. Naomi Porter is a creative, brilliant author and I can’t get enough of her books.
Got to give it to Naomi Porter, she knocked it out of the part with this wild emotional rollercoaster ride that is totally dark & twisted. Really enjoyed this emotionally charged thriller, Rocky & Ella's story starts out as teenage love that changed into a really wild and slightly twisted lust and love & something thrilling and a tad raunchy ride.
There is trigger warning on this read because of some of the things that happen in this thrilling read that spans on for years and has a time gap, but if you love spice, smoking hot scenes and you don't have triggers this is absolutely the read for you.
Rocky is rough, dark & totally alpha member of the Hell's Bells MC and future Prez who is in love with a beauty young teenage girl Ella who ends up being his and they end up going for such a thrilling ride of emotions that will have you at some point going crazy wondering what will happen next because he and she has a dark side but they totally are meant to be.
Ella is a preacher's daughter and innocent to the MC world till she meets Rocky who triggers the dark side of her with the wild and crazy things he loves to do to twist her and mold her to the person he wants her to be.
The twist a turns in this book was amazing. Honestly I want to go back an reread all of the knights book an then read this one again. I did not see a lot of the things that occurred in the book coming an normally I can guess but not this one it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time an I absolutely loved it!! Naomi has done it again with an amazing story! I also love how my favorite knights were in the book as well. I love that Ella an RJ got their happy ever after an RJ finally got the meaning of what a true family was. You get to feel see a read side by side with RJ as he grows into the man he was also suppose to be a finally have every bit of love he deserved from the time he was born! #AnxiouslyWaitingOnTheNextStory

Naomi Porter has written a family saga and epic love story spanning years. When Ella and Rocky met as teenagers, they fell deeply in love and planned a future together. They were separated by circumstance and kept apart by manipulations and lies. They might be able to ring their way back to one another if they can get past their trauma and deal with family secrets.
Porter has done an outstanding job creating this super dark MC romance. The characters are well-written, the world building is great, and the plot is strong. Ella and Rocky are great characters with heartbreaking stories. Rocky has grown up part of an MC - he’s dark, depraved, and brooding. Ella is the daughter of a pastor, innocent and inexperienced. When the two connect, it’s as if they are soulmates. Once they are separated by forces beyond their control, their lives change dramatically. They have bad experiences and trauma, but that serves to make them both more fierce, especially Ella. I love the connection the book makes to the Knight’s Legion books. Please check TW/CW - there’s a lot of darkness in this book. Porter did not hold back. If you’ve read her previous books, you know there’s always a strong family element - this isn’t that. It’s very different and very dark.
Hells Bells is a standalone, but you’ll enjoy reading the Knight’s Legion series as well to get to know history and characters. Read and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss.
Absolutely loved it. Read in one sitting. I'm going to reread the Knights Legion series now. Which are fantastic! I didn't think it was too dark but it would be triggering for some. but I've got a little black heart. The dark parts are handled really well with the scenes happening off page. If you love MC you'll love this. You smashed it N.P. I truly believe you belong on the dark side. My favourite read of 2023 Can't wait for Tomcats book. I'm off for a jog in the woods see if I can get me a Rocky. Oooh and I would really love to read about how the Hells Bells MC started and Rockys early years and how his Mom got involved with the Knights Legion because I'm greedy!

Genres/Tropes • Motorcycle Club (MC) • Dark Romance • Forbidden Romance (bad boy and pastor's daughter
This book did not stop! There was never a lull in the story or a dull moment. You can't help but love Ella and your heart just feels for her throughout the entire book. Rocky is very...morally gray. I wasn't sure I was going to like him but by the end I was rooting for the two of them!
I don’t typically read books that are dark but I am so glad I did this one, it was amazing! But please read trigger warnings. This is my first Naomi Porter book and I will for sure be reading more. Although it is not required (and I didn’t follow the advice), I would recommend reading the Knight’s Legion MC series first.
The story of Rocky and Ella is heart wrenching. So many lies and betrayals these two had to endure before finding their HEA. Naomi really knows how to tell a story. Highly recommend this one. I couldn’t put it down.
What a beautifully well written story 🖤 it has lots of drama and chaos be sure to check the trigger warnings this book has plenty and I personally love them all.
Rocky and Ella’s story is very intense and emotional 🫣 and very dark. It’s filled with deceit, lies and and betrayal. Time couldn’t diminish the love they shared but after Ella had her heart destroyed fell into a wicked man made trap by the club and Rocky was living a life what didn’t feel like his until he saw the truth.
You should know it was going to be amazing perfection when you take an innocent preachers daughter and hook her up with a badass biker.
You need to read this book it is absolute perfection one of the best books I have ever read
The way Rocky calls Ella his good girl 🤤 ❤️❤️ I’m in love
I cannot say how much this book effected me. The roller coaster that is Rocky and Ella will leave you reeling! I cannot imagine the love they had to survive ❤️🖤 If you like dark and sexy then pick up this book and don’t stop u til the end! But beware of the triggers before reading.
Wow! What a fantastic read! We have a ministers daughter and MC Presidents nephew. Elle is 16, Rocky is 19. Things happen with a rival MC and they are separated for 5 years. During that time both are miserable and heartbroken. When they finally reconnect...WOW...just WOW!
Definitely read the trigger warnings before going in. This book has some triggers I was not ready for and had to stop a few times to think about what was happening. I did love RJ and Elle’s story and was just so sad over all the lies that kept them apart, happy they got there happy ending.
I was given the opportunity to read an Arc copy of Hells Bells by Naomi Porter. It will be released on August 12th so I will try not to give any spoilers.
I will start by saying that this is my very first dark book I've finished. Naomi does give a lot of trigger warnings at the beginning so make sure to check those out if you have triggers. I normally love books like Savage Storm, also by Naomi Porter. Kaleb aka Storm is one of my favorite book boyfriends. Hells Bells is about his half-brother, Rocky Jones. I know this was Naomi's first dark book and I think she did a great job. The book starts off when Rocky and Ella meet for the first time as teenagers, and it was so great to see their relationship build, and their chemistry was intense. I found myself unable to put the book down and drawn into their world, even with Rocky's very dark kinks. Learning about his past and understanding his kinks definitely helped. There were many twists and turns in the book and I love when you don't see them coming. Naomi did a great job developing the characters and I felt love, heartbreak, tears, and all the other emotions in the one book. I also got attached to some side characters, especially Tomcat (whose books is next!) I also loved seeing my favorite characters from Savage Storm again in this book. I definitly recommend this book, even if you're not a fan of dark books you should give this a chance. I'm glad I did!
Two worlds collide. Ella pastor daughter. Rocky biker. Young love learning it’s ways. The world fights between them. Years past. The love is still their. They have grown up. You won’t put it down. Dark romance. With trigger warnings.
Hell’s Bells, this author never holds back in her MC romances, they are hot, and the storyline is always on the edge of uncomfortable, which makes them a compulsive read, and there is nothing more compulsive than Ella and Rocky’s story it is brutal in places, part 1 is gripping enough but that was nothing on Part two five years later, that is when we don’t sit on the edge of darkness we dive head first, my heart went out to Ella, what this brave young girl had to endure was gut-wrenching, and when we find out what happened to Rocky you wonder how Ms Porter was going to give them the HEA they deserved, but in her usually hot way she gave us a perfect one.
WOW!! This true love Ella and Rocky fought soo hard to come back to each other they deserve the HEA! Especially after what they both went through. I’m so happy Rocky finally got his real Knight family ❤️ that was so emotional 😭

I can already tell that this is going to be a long review. There's a lot of moving pieces that need to be discussed, so I'll go ahead and break it down as much as possible. The story is told in two parts, so I'll stick with that format, but these are just observations. Some good. Some not so good.
Part I:
-I don't mind being uncomfortable when reading, but there was something about this part of the story that made me uneasy. I'd put it down, and not even five minutes later, I was back at it. I had to know how it was all going to play out, but I also felt like a little kid reading through my fingers because it was naughty.
-They're babies! At the start, Ella is 16, and Rocky is 19. I don't know if this led to my uneasiness, but I wanted to yell through the pages at them. Sure, there's a whole world for them to explore separately and together. I just thought they were trying to grow up too fast. It actually made reading this section easier by imagining them a little bit older.
-The Tattoos (Shakes my head with a smile)
-When you start to get towards the end of Part 1, it's very obvious that their relationship is not without it's flaws. It's also pretty clear that the trial and tribulations are just around the corner. There's just something about them that makes you want to stay in that honeymoon phase for a little bit longer.
Part 2:
-I was confused at the very beginning of Part 2. The first couple of chapters seem like a catch-up to what has happened within the five years that have passed. However, I was left with more questions than answers. Most of the details are cleared up but not until much later.
-I didn't care for Ella at this stage. It's like she fell out of the tree and hit every branch on the way down full of bad choices. There's one point in the story where she's talking about all the despair she's been through, and it was only then that I could understand why she had allowed herself to live like that. A depressed person can't see their way out until they are shown the light.
-I am just going to leave it like this - the way Rocky wins back Ella's trust. He doesn't grovel. He doesn't do it with fancy words or gifts. He's relentless and chips away at her outer shell.
Not So Good Things Overall:
-I am pretty sure this is a me thing. I am not sure what to call it, but there's errors in some of the details that are presented. In Wary Wolf, there's a Russian last name that ends in A for a man. Traditionally, the man's last name is -ov, and the woman is -ova. I could overlook that even though it threw me for a second. In Hell's Bells, it's an issue with a DNA test. I'll stop there, but if you know anything about genetics and DNA, it's obviously wrong. A simple Google search would have fixed that.
-There's a five year gap in between Parts 1 and 2. Normally, I wouldn't think anything of this, but here's my issue with it: The end of Part 1 has already been told within KLMC: North Dakota. Hell's Bells was the club that Buff's Reign was held captive at. Part 2 starts roughly 5 years after that, which means that all of the characters are 5 years older. The brothers. The old ladies. The kids. The relationships of the brothers who haven't had their stories told. If the timeline had been shifted forward to start the next generation, I would have been okay with that. However, depending on who's release it is, we'll bounce back and forth between the two.
