Saints Purgatory MC #1
Unholy Soul
There isn’t a person in the world who hasn’t committed a sin. Some sins are worse than others, but seven of them are deadly. But those seven worst of the worst? They’re what drive Saints Purgatory MC to keep fighting.
Soul…
What is a person supposed to do when they learn the world is a breeding ground for evil? As the president of Saint’s Purgatory MC, it’s my job to lead my brothers in the war against the wicked. Not only do we find transgressors in our day-to-day lives, but my twin sister regularly brings us the names of sinners.
In my world, love doesn’t exist. At least not the healthy kind. But when we’re charged with eliminating a doctor with a tendency for sloth, everything changes. His patient barrels her way into my life and my heart, and I will stop at nothing to ensure she’s mine. Even if that means letting her see the darkest parts of my soul.
It’s not lost on me that to do what we do, we must become the very thing we despise. Hell, it’s our club motto: See evil, hear evil, become evil, purge evil.
Cece…
I love my life. I’m a business owner, a daughter, and a friend. But two words are all it takes to send me spiraling into chaos. Obstacles are continually hurled at me from every direction. My world is ripped apart and it takes everything I have not to lose my mind.
After the latest middle finger life flips me, fate steps in and offers me a lifeline. Too bad it’s in the form of a dominating, possessive, sexy as sin man. I’ve always considered myself to be independent, but just this once, I want to give in and let him take care of me.
Retribution is the man’s promise, but can he deliver? Can I trust a stranger to help me, when there’s more at stake than revenge? Or will my heart suffer the consequences?
Welcome to Saints Purgatory, where sinners take out the sinful.

Great Start to New Series
Soul is the Prez of the Saints Purgatory MC and Cece is a strong woman and with these two combined is made for a great read. The action and chemistry in this book was great.
I have read Andi Rhodes’ books before and I have them all but I have not read Lacy Rose prior to this book. Let’s just say these two are a match made in heaven! Even though this book is not the “usual” I loved every moment of it. The characters in this book are amazing and I can’t wait to read from about them in future books.

This was a kind of disappointing read and letdown. The beginning was so promising and intriguing. I had no choice but to go ahead and read the entire book, but soon, it became apparent that the story was going to be atypical. If you are expecting an MC book, don't. This uses MC tag but not the lifestyle or basic MC tropes. Yes, there are "Ole lady's", nicknames, and motorcycles, but that is where it all ends. I liked the character who is deaf, so I will come back for that read.
Concerns:
😮💨Here, the MMC isn't OTT protective but mimes all of the words to appear to be. He's a little bland. A little to on the nose. He's, therefore, a little boring. It's almost like MC paint by numbers.
😮💨 there is a state of the art clubhouse because of course. I think this would have been a better read if it was labeled as a military or milita trope. It would make more sense than calling it an MC
😮💨 this was presented as a dark romance, and even though dark themes reference the tone of the story, it is morally gray at best.
😮💨 the FMC had a different background; boutique businesswoman and a mother who falls ill, but she becomes a forgettable Mary Sue in a lot of different ways. There wasn't any real bite there, and her reasons for the 3rd act break-up were asinine.

Quit at 20ish percent. Mentality of the book? Immature fantasy. As in Batcave with a sliding door entry blended into the mountainside of a middle-of-the-desert clubhouse. Lyme disease does not progress to a deadly stage in less than a month and fingerprints taken from children in grade school 20 years ago are NOT readily available in today's computer systems for hackers to access.

Cece is with her mom in their boutique Naughty/Nice doing inventory when her mother just passes out. She died in the back of the ambulance. Cece still can't understand how it had happened. There and then gone.
A few weeks after the death of her mother her friend dragged her to the emergency room because her head and body aches weren't normal. Only for the doctor to tell her she was in grief and to get counseling. And then he walked away without ordering any tests.
Tests that would have shown that it was anything but grief.
Matt and his twin sister Mary were raised to be devout Catholics. That changed when he turned sixteen. When Mary, John and he stopped in horror when they realized what was happening to their best friend Paul.
That was the day their plans began. See evil, Hear evil, Become evil, Purge evil... they will make sure they pay for their sins.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is the first book in the Saints Purgatory MC series and I can't wait to read the rest of this series. This is the first time I have read either of these authors but boy do they have me hooked.
This dark MC romance is action-packed from start to finish. This book is full of danger and smoking-hot chemistry. There is plenty of angst as Cece fights Soul trying to dominate her life.
If you love dark MC romance get ready for a ride because this book hits all the emotions and this series is just getting started. Highly recommend!

I'm torn with this one, it was both just ok and I liked it. Not sure why it felt that way, maybe the religion and how it got twisted? But what is more weird is that I don't mind who the club goes after because there are people who are evil in the world and should die. I loved the club house and how high tech it was, also love how due to one brother being deaf, you always had to sign if he was in the room and if you didn't you were fined $50 for each instance, so a quick conversation back and forth a couple times will cost you a lot. I was so so on Cece, hated all she went through, yet it also seemed like she played the victim, even though she didn't, maybe it was she seemed airhead dumb, but that wasn't quite it either. Soul too, something not quite there for me with him. There was enough I liked here that I plan to check out the next book, but it will be a make or break book for me and if I keep reading the series.

Good
This is a great start to the series, and I can't wait for more. Cece deserves her happiness after all the pain she has suffered, and she survived.

OMG! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and this book is just what I needed! Soul and CeCe are a perfect couple. They deal with some adversity, but they do get their HEA! The story surrounding CeCe and what brings her to Soul's attention is very original. The authors did a fantastic job at providing the medical details without making it dry/clinical. I cannot wait for the next book! While Soul & CeCe were the focus of this one, the other characters are a large part of the story and I greatly anticipate reading their stories!

Saints Purgatory MC is a brand new MC series cowritten by Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose. It's a series that will lead you down a path of sin, a path of a very dark romance full of twists and turns where the sinner is almost a saint and where right and wrong exist in a shades of gray, yet it's a series you won't want to miss. Thrilling, compelling, gripping, raw, edge of your seat page turner, dark, twisted, and a wild ride that I enjoyed from the beginning to the end with effortless and poignant writing and storytelling.
It follows a club determined to rid the world of the seven deadly sins, with the help of the president's twin sister, a badass hacker with the same convictions as her brother, even if they become sinners themselves. Soul, Malice and Grim are a tight-knit group and the core of the club. These three learned at the young age that they can only count on themselves having each other's back which made their friendship / bond stronger and unbreakable.
This book evokes every single emotion. It's invigorating and engaging from the start. These two authors bring their A game crafting a beautifully imperfect masterpiece, dark world and relatable characters.
Soul is the Prez of the Saints Purgatory MC. He can be lethal, unapproachable, unpredictable and intimidating yet protective and vulnerable. All he does is in the name of club and people he cares about. Throughout the book his other layers are discovered too.
Cece is determined, courageous, brave and spirited, vulnerable and jaded.
Their transformation and development throughout the book is incredible. I felt the anticipation and their build up while trying to confront their past and demons. These two are magical. Their love story is not easy: it’s messy and emotional yet so worth it in the end.
So well-written, so enjoyable, so entertaining with amazing characters, banter, action / danger and romance. An amazing start to a new series. Cannot wait for the next book.

UNHOLY SOUL is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult SAINTS PURGATORY MC dark, erotic, MC romance series co-authored by Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose. This is club president Matt ‘Soul’ Hodges, and twenty-four year old business woman Cece Parker’s story line.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from several first person perspectives including Cece and Soul, using present day and memories from the past, UNHOLY SOUL follows in the wake of the introduction between our story line couple. Cece Parker is a business woman who owns and operates a lingerie store. Her most prolific client is a woman she knows only as Mary but Mary is a woman with connections to the Saints Purgatory MC but life is about to throw Cece several curve balls, and Soul, and the Saints Purgatory MC will become Cece’s guardian and protector when her life begins to spiral out of control. What ensues is the building relationship between Cece and Soul, and the potential fall-out when Cece becomes the target of a vengeful and rotten mind.
The world building introduces the who, what and why of the Saints Purgatory MC. As young boys, Matt, Mark, Paul and John would find themselves the victims of the Catholic Church, and in the ensuing years Soul, Malice and Grim would become the judge, jury and executioner of those deemed to be sinners.
The relationship between Cece and Soul is one of mutual attraction but Cece is a businesswoman, and Soul doesn’t believe he is worthy of love but when Cece’s life begins to spiral, Soul is determined to claim the woman that calls to his heart. Cece is strong, independent woman who knows what she wants but struggles in the face of incompetence and betrayal. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.
We are introduced to several interesting and intriguing characters including several members of the Saints Purgatory MC: Malice, Grim, Abyss, Thorn, Rogue; Soul’s sister Mary aka Jez, as well as Malice’s brother Mark, and his friend Apple. The requisite evil has many faces.
UNHOLY SOUL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, abuse and murder, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated; the characters are strong-willed, animated and unconventional.

Unholy Soul is the first book I have read by Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose. Both authors' writing style is original in the story, gritty, filled with drama, mystery, action, and spice. This book is a dark MC romance and is the first in the series. I am so ready for a series like this. I gobbled this book up in one day. I was eager to know what was happening next and was sad when I got to the end. This book had my heart-wrenching for both characters. When a book can make me feel what each character is feeling and what they experience, I love it. I couldn't put the book down from the first chapter. I loved the characters; they were complex and had amazing chemistry.
I really enjoyed the banter and quick wit of all the characters. The twists and turns in this book had me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails with anticipation. I also really loved how the story progressed. The main characters didn't just meet on the first page. I got to read and experience the characters day to day life.
CeCe is a total spitfire and free spirit. I loved her attitude, independence, and determination in this book. She didn't back down from anything or anyone. Soul is all Alpha. He is dark, broody, loyal, and possessive. I loved his dedication to his brothers. He was gruff, bristly, and totally grumpy. The angst, push and pull both characters dealt with was like butterflies in the stomach, heart soaring, and hot. I really enjoyed CeCe and Soul's story. It was painful, hopeful, and had such heart.- Brooke

Unholy Souls by Andi Rhodes and Laci Rose is book one in the new series ‘ Saints Purgatory MC’ and boy was it a great book. The story focuses on Soul and CeCe. Soul learns at an early age that the world is not a good place and there is a lot of evil in it. As an adult he started the Saint’s Purgatory MC to try and rid the world of those who were sinners and who couldn’t be redeemed. Enter CeCe, a woman who is thrown into the path of Soul due to a diagnosis by a doctor which is confounding. With the death of her beloved mother and her life spiralling out of control. CeCe has to depend on Soul a man who promises retribution for anyone who stand in his and CeCe’s way.
I loved the story between Soul and CeCe straight away, there was instant chemistry and CeCe definitely had verbal diarrhoea at points which was hilarious. Soul is also dark and broody, and I liked the introduction to him and other characters at the start of the series and how they became who they are.
Soul and CeCe just work and even though there are times that Soul makes decisions without conferring with CeCe to begin with, you understand why and also how sassy CeCe is in retaliation to being left in the dark. This is definitely a delicious start to a new series, and I can’t wait to see what else happens as the series progresses.

Welcome to Saints Purgatory MC, where the men are hot, protective, and downright sinful. To the general populace, break a sin if you dare, but know that you will pay the price. Saints Purgatory are the judge, jury, and executioners for those who break the seven sins.
Unholy Soul was one helluva rollercoaster ride! Spine-tingling, intense, gripping, gritty, rip your heart out and keep you on your toes. Soul and Cece make one heck of a couple. Their attraction sparks from the second they meet and doesn't let up. Sparks are flying, neither giving an inch, toe-to-toe interactions that you know will land them between the sheets.
Soul is the president of the MC, a bachelor who doesn't expect to find love until his sister begs him to take on the case of her friend, Cece. There's something fishy about how the doctor treated Cece at the ER, and it just about cost her life. She's not the only person affected by the lazy ER doctor. She lost her mother recently, and the doctor says grief is to blame for making her sick. When strange occurrences happen to Cece, Soul goes out of his mind, his protective side kicking into overdrive, and the caveman persona he has kept hidden surges to the forefront. Can Soul claim Cece without losing himself, or will the beauty be the one who wins their personal war?

This was another freaking fantastic MC story by Andi Rhodes, my first by co-write Lacy Rose and I will most definitely be reading her books. This new Saints Purgatory MC series has everything your heart could desire. It has action, darkness, danger, unaliving, intense chemistry, OTT protective and possessive alpha male, MC brothers who are just as protective, brotherhood, dark pasts, vigilante anti heroes, and so much more.
This is Cece and Soul’s story and it’s not an easy one. Cece has just lost her mother and is now fighting with her health, dealing with a Dr. who doesn’t care she’s fighting to live. When she meets Mary they become instant friends so when things get bad for Cece Mary turns to her brother Soul to help. Soul is a hard man who’s not looking for anything serious, but when he sees and meets Cece for the first time everything changes. He finds himself wanting to protect her and shield her from every bad thing in the world.
Their story is definitely one you won’t want to pass up. It’s intense and nerve wracking. There’s heartbreak and steam and danger galore. Ends on a HEA for these two. Can’t wait for Malice’s story. Definitely a must read and I highly recommend this series.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the first book in the Saint's Purgatory MC. It is a dark romance so you will want to heed the warnings in the beginning of the book.
This is the story of Soul and Cece. He is the President of the Saint's Purgatory MC. I loved their motto. I thought it fit them perfectly. "See evil, hear evil, become evil, purge evil." They are a club that is very determined to rid the world of the seven deadly sins. Soul's sister is often the one to tell them the sins that are happening. She is a hacker and really good at what she does. Soul is lethal, you never know what he is going to do next, he is intimidating while being protective and vulnerable. He loves his club and everything they do. Cece is one determined woman and he meets her at one of the worst times of her life when she is really going through something. The chemistry between them is absolutely amazing. It is a book filled with twists and turns and you will spend more time on the edge of your seat more than relaxing. I loved every single second of it and can not wait to see what the next book brings. This is certainly and absolutely amazing beginning to the series and I couldn't get enough of Cece and Soul.

ARC Review of Unholy Soul by Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose
* * * * *
Another MC series that has me looking forward to what else is down the road.
Soul and his band of brothers are badass biker men with a major goal - bond they strengthened in their youth after witnessing a great evil, and it soon leads out leading man onto a task and a sinner...and leads him to Cece.
Cece has had a bit of bad luck, and after a tragic loss, she is left with a nasty piece of work to question her on her grief. Now, she's stuck with him in her own health issue, and his practise is starting to raise questions.
Thanks to a connection, Soul now has come into take care of Cece and a problem in her life.
Sloth.
Really loved the introduction to this series. It is dark but not too much, and it delivers more of a story before the love interests come together. Poor Cece, so many big blows!
Soul and Cece together were wonderful and I enjoyed their blooming romance. It was not instant hot and heavy but already she is drooling over him from just his voice.
Dr. Franklin, love the nickname and VERY fitting. If I ever had a doctor like him I would sooooo humiliate him before firing him!

I've been a huge fan of Andi Rhodes since the day I first read a story by her, but now I'm also a big fan of Lacy Rose, and they're certainly a fantastic team. Unholy Soul kicks off a new MC series, and frankly, I'm already in love with the Saints Purgatory MC, as their life is about taking real evil off the streets so super sexy vigilantes. Soul is the president of this MC, and his life takes a turn when his twin asks for a favor for our heroine, Cece. That poor girl's life has really taken a nosedive in a short amount of time, like I couldn't believe the things going on after her mother died. She's the perfect addition to Soul's life, and the sparks are flying between them, but it takes a minute before they act on it despite the fact that she's temporarily staying at the clubhouse. There's nothing more that I want to do than talk about every last detail but I won't, however, I will say that there's suspense with twists all over the place, heat in spades, humor despite the darker undertone, and a fantastic supporting cast whose books I CANNOT WAIT to get in my hot little hands! So it's safe to say this story is perfect in my eyes & I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

What we have here is first instalment to Saints Purgatory MC series with their prez as a main character and in my opinion it is a great start. I cannot wait to read more :).
Once upon a time...sinner meets his saint-ish ,
wonderful story of love between two completely different people-from different worlds and backgrounds and yet...
Don't get me wrong it isn't just a sweet story , it touches very serious subjects which may be triggering for some , but what I like about it -its the overall message - love conquers all.
I like the interactions between Ce and Soul,full of sass and passion,tenderness and respect.
All of the guys from SP are giving me a bad boys vibe in a very good way :) (if you know what i mean).Love me some biker alpha male .
I'm looking forward to get to now Malice's story as well as all of the other brothers. It feels like a good start to a ride with MC.
Thank you to authors for letting me to be a part ot ARC team and to enjoy Cece and Soul's story.
Job well done, a very good read. I know I will be waiting for next part very impatiently :).

Soul & CeCe
She had a good life with the business she and her mother had done well with. She didn't have a lot of other people in her life. When she ran into Soul both felt the chemistry but neither admitted it. At least not right away. Little did she know that one of her best customers was Soul's twin sister. When she learned about CeCe's situation she confronted him. The person hurting CeCe also fell under the list of things and people Saint's Purgatory MC spent their time making them pay.
Soul and his brothers had reasons for their need to deal with certain people. Their history gives it to them. The more time Soul spent with Cece the closer they became. Neither was ready to admit their feelings. I loved watching the club brothers learn to care about her as well. Great characters, with different reasons for clearing the world. There is plenty of steam, action, and so much more. Since this is book #1 must mean it will have more to come--yay!

Love this book. Love Cece and Soul’s romance story. Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose do it again. Another amazing MC romance story. Soul is the president of Saints Purgatory MC and their mission is to purge the world of sinners. Cece and her mom own Naughty/Nice where Soul’s twin sister likes to shop. Cece ends up losing her mom to what she thinks is a brain aneurysm. After Cece’s mom dies, she ends up getting really bad headaches. Cece goes to the hospital to get checked over but the doctor is lazy. The doctor tells Cece that she is suffering from grief and to get into a grief support group. Cece goes home and while she is working, she gets dizzy and faints. Cece learns that she has a spider bite which caused her to catch Lyme Disease. The untreated Lyme Disease caused her to get Lyme Carditis. Soul’s sister informs the club about Cece and the doctor. This ends up putting the doctor on the radar of the club. Cece ends up recuperating at the club and Soul ends up meeting his match with Cece. Love how these two ended up together. Worth the read

I loved this book so much and the story between Cece and Soul
Soul learnt from a young age that there were sinners in the world and ended up becoming president of Saint’s Purgatory MC, to bring the sinners to justice and because of that he never thought love could be part of his world or believe in it.
Cece loves her life so much being a business owner with her mum, but everything goes wrong with 2 words and everything just seems to go wrong after that.
When she meets Soul you can see the chemistry from the start, but Soul is an Alpha and so possessive and hot as hell and Cece is someone that does everything herself and is very independent, so will she let Soul help her.
When something starts coming to light Will Soul persuade Cece to trust him that he will protect her and help her get the revenge she deserves after she has been through.
With everything that is happening can they find love with each other.

This series is different but still kind of like Andi’s other series in that these men take pride and care for the underdogs. This series is an unusual theme, for me, and I love it. As always, Andi’s writing is superb, as well as Lacy’s (who I have not read before). Cece was a fantastic heroine. She was strong and boy did she live through all kinds of issues in her life and still she maintained her badassness and thrived. You go girl! Men in MC romance are so delicious and caring and even though they are morally grey they steal our hearts. Soul. He is exactly that and more. Such great chemistry between these two makes this slow burn romance a hit out of the park.
If this book is anything to go by, I bet the other books in this series will be exciting, nail-biting, and hairs standing on the back of your neck awesome. Let me just say Grim is such a special character and I will leave it at that. His book will be coming.
I received a complimentary copy from the author.

More, More, More, the first story in the new Saints Purgatory MC, and I am already ADDICTED, Andi Rhodes and Lacy Rose you have a hit series on your hand's ladies, and I just want to know when the next one will be out, this was a pure MC romance masterclass, perfect in every way, the dynamics between Soul the President and Cece was exceptionally well written, the slight banter took nothing away from the dark edge of the club, and a really well-thought line of business the club is into, the prologue set up the book really well and gave us the tragedy background as to what drives the club, and best of all there is such a great assortment of guys and let us not forget about Jezebel Souls twin sister who added the perfect mix, Soul and Cece's is a slow burn but the smouldering undertones make it hot, and the plot was extraordinarily unique. Twist turns, danger, heat, as well as extra little teasers added along the way, make this a must-read for 23.

This is the first book of a new MC series, The Saints Purgatory MC; and, I can't wait for the rest of the books! However, I need to focus on this book -- Unholy Soul (Soul and CeCe's book). Soul is the president of the Saints Purgatory, which for me is, a different 1% MC club in that most of their businesses are legal except the "taking care of sinners" one. CeCe, until recently with her mom, owns her own business. After her mom dies, CeCe cannot catch a break. After she is hospitalized, her friend brings in her brother to help CeCe while she heals. Yeah, that first meeting went as well as you'd expect involving two stubborn people. lol You will need to read how their relationship progresses. We have commentary from all of the side characters(can't wait for their stories!). Yes, it does end with an HEA. I'm ready for Malice's book!

This is the first book in a new MC series. And all I can say is WOW WOW WOW. This is a can’t put the book down and I want more more more.
Unholy Soul focuses on Soul the MC President and Cece.
We learn straight of the history between Soul (President) Malice his Vp and Grim the enforcer as well as Jez (souls twin) and how they learnt that there are sinners everywhere. Saints Purgatory MC is born.
CeCe is owner of Naughty/ Nice boutique and an independent woman.
Things happen that throw these two together. The alpha male and the independent female. The chemistry is there between them and we navigate through their relationship and the obstacles that are thrown at them.
Great couple and the background stories of other characters are there. This opens up for a fantastic Mc series and I can’t wait for more.

I have never read a book by either of these authors but they had me at MC. This book was fantastic! The whole idea behind the Saints Purgatory MC was so very creative. It really was not like other books in many ways and it made it that much better. Soul is so endearing and the way he is with Cece just makes him more loveable. Jezebel is the sarcastic sister with whom we can all relate. Malice is fighting his own demons and the loyalty and love that he receives from Soul, Jez and Grim is palpable. And Grim? Who wouldn’t love him? His special circumstance and how it is handled is fantastic. I had a hard time putting this book down and I am having a really hard time waiting for the next one. I’m so glad I’ve been introduced to these authors. I’m excited to read more of their books.

“We’re NOT who dies tonight”
This is such a GREAT start to a series. Definitely worth the read!
Cece and her mom own a boutique and one day her mom collapses. Leaving her in a world of grief and now experiencing health issues in the hospital herself - she confides in one of her friends “Jez”. Jez offers her to stay at her brothers clubhouse with her brother and the rest of the Saint Purg MC. Needless to say, Soul is NOT on board on first - but it changes as soon as he lays eyes on Cece. From there it’s so my tension between them two and then a freaking plot twist that’ll make you say WHAT.
It’s crazy to think any medical professional would be so slack to giving patient the right treatment.

Unholy Soul is a great start to this new series, can't wait for the next installment. These characters each have their own little quirks to go with their names, which are very unique. They truly are a family and will do whatever necessary to support those they love.
There is lots of action that you aren't expecting throughout this story.
CeCe's heart break is felt and then we see her grow independent again but then Soul has his own ideas of how things should run and tries to pull some fast ones but isn't quite fast enough for her. She is as strong as he is powerful and they make the perfect couple.

I am so excited for this new series!
In a world full of sin and sinners, it is hard to know who to trust. Especially when you have been failed by people that should have protected you from those very sins. The Saints Purgatory MC was formed on the basis of purging the world of the worst sinners. Those guilty of one of the seven deadly sins.
Sloth doesn’t sound so bad does it? But what happens when sloth causes deadly and life altering consequences?
A must read that will keep the pages turning. The chemistry between Cece and Soul will leave you sweating and begging for more!
