Golden Skulls MC #10
Vicious
I never wanted a family until someone tried to take it away ~ Vicious.
Vicious:
Life as a nomad was all I knew. All I ever thought I wanted. Funny how things never go as planned. Finally, putting down roots for my daughter, I settle into domestic life, begrudgingly. Everything was Golden until it wasn’t.
I never wanted the traditional family. I had my club, my brothers and my daughter. I was happy with that until she walked into my life. Now, everything is messed up. She woke something deep inside me I kept hidden. Rattled, I try to resist only to succumb to her charms.
When both of our pasts collide, I must face a life I walked away from. Seeking help from an old friend, I am faced with a decision that will change everything. To protect my family, I will do whatever it takes, and when someone tries to take what’s mine, I will unleash my true, vicious nature.
Linsey:
All I ever wanted was a life that was my own. A fresh start, far away from the life I once knew. As the nanny and schoolteacher to the Golden Skulls children, I thought I found my happiness. Then there was him. The one brother who actually saw me until he shouted his true feelings.
My whole life, I knew where I stood. I was the spare. Molded and cultivated from birth, I was there as the backup, just in case something went wrong. I never dreamed it would. When the unthinkable happens, I step in and do what is required of me, only to find resistance from all sides.
With no choice, I am forced to leave the only place that felt like home and return to a life I never wanted. When help comes from an unlikely source, I realize that family isn’t just blood. It’s those who will stand beside you in the storm and fight with you.

I do not know how to rate this book. Because what is happening in this book is beyond my comprehension. If you take the Vicious and the plot, then this will be a great book. It's an interesting story. New events and twists. I liked. But.....I didn't like the rest. I still don't understand why this happened and how we came to this. Maybe there will be some explanation in the next books because I'm confused.

And she does it again!
I'm in absolute shock!
What the actual hell!
This womans brain is like no other. I tell ya
I'm giving no spoilers because it would absolutely ruin the book for you, but I will give advice.
When going into this story, hide your knives, stay away from the kids (because profanity) will fly, and read on a kindle and not on your phone to prevent yourself from sending messages to Rebecca that have a few choice words in it!
I actually believe what happened happened?!
On another note, I loved the little snippets we got of the next 3 releases, and as usual, I am impatiently waiting for their release!
If you haven't read any of Rebecca's books yet, start with Reaper and do NOT throw the Kindle during the ride!!!!

This whole book is pretty much another MC that Vicious joins. Suppose to be the biggest most dangerous etc.. But Linsay still ends up being violated. Can't believe what Remi did!

Vicious is a single dad in an MC. Linsey is the new custodian of her three nieces. Their privileged upbringing brings them together even when it might not be what they both want.
Nevertheless, this book did it for me just to find out about Remi and what she did. If you like Remi and want to know why Reaper did some of the things he did, CHECK THIS OUT. Happy reading. 🙋🏽♀️

Great story! Loved both Vicious & Linsey. I liked how this book is messing us into a new series.
What I hated? Remi & Reaper. MAN!!! What a shit ending to their story. I hate it for them. I hate what Remi has to live with and I hate what Reaper was forced to do. I get it, but I just felt like there were so many options. Now the club has gone to shit! They survived the Society just for this shit? I hate it. I hate how they went from being so strong & capable & resourceful to weak. It’s almost like the author is starting these three new series and is killing off the originals. I don’t like it!!!

I have just binge read the whole Golden Skulls series and was absolutely captivated by each book. The series has been a huge rollercoaster of emotions, secrets, lies, deceptions, angst and drama but in this book there is a jaw dropping moment I didn’t want to believe I had just read. We are introduced to three new MC’s in the last couple of books. King - Sons of Hell is already out, and I cannot wait to read the 2 spin off books that are due out at the same time as the next Golden Skulls book.

Vicious never thought himself a family man until he found himself with one, his daughter Elizabeth. When Linsey enters the clubs life, things dont start off well between the two, but as feelings grow so does the trouble facing not only the club but Linsey, Vicious takes action in leaving the Golden Skulls and joining the Souless Sinners, but at what cost. Well written this story will have you hooked from the start and the twists they just keep on coming with shocking exists and revelations revealed youll be needing tissues!

Emotional roller coaster!!
This is Vicious and Lindsay's story.
This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with found family, friendships, lies, betrayal, heartbreak, challenges, danger, suspense, intrigue, loyalty, humour, secrets, making choices, violence, undeniable chemistry, and unconditional love, which all leads to an entertaining, twisted, unpredictable, and heartfelt addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Vicious - the once nomad is a bit of a closed character. Until he meets Linsey, and vows to help her and her sisters three little girls. But that means leaving the Golden Skulls MC, and selling his soul to another Devil.
As much as I like Vicious as a character, I feel I appreciated the broader plot-line, and club machinations than I did his story. Lots of shocks and potential new story threads in Vicious, so much to look forward to.

the best series ever
Omg. Every single book gets better and better. Vicious came from money. Gems. He left his family for the open road coming to rest with the golden skulls. While there he meets the love of his life. Filled with danger and intrigue the journey is difficult and heartbreaking n

I gave this book a 5, because it's excellent writing as always, but Vicious killing the kid, and the whole club is just like "oops sorry no witness's" Montana ordering the killing and encouraging Vicious to kill the kid, no big deal right? and him putting a hit out on Reaper, well he isn't my favorite person. Hopefully he will redeem himself. XD

Vicious by Rebecca Joyce
(The Golden Skulls M.C.)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rebecca Joyce's "Vicious" is an electrifying ride through the gritty world of motorcycle clubs, packed with drama, romance, and a heart-stopping storyline that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
As we delve into the life of Vicious, one of the oldest brothers in the Golden Skulls M.C., we discover a man who thought he had it all — a strong bond with his club, a loving daughter, and a content lifestyle.
However, everything changes when Linsey, a woman seeking to carve out her own identity amidst the shadow of her family's expectations, walks into his life.
Joyce expertly crafts a tale of intertwined destinies as Linsey faces unimaginable challenges and resistance from her past, compelling her to confront her true self.
As Vicious steps up to protect her, readers are taken on an emotional journey filled with tension and uncertainty. The exploration of "what if" and the dynamics of family loyalty versus personal desire adds depth to the narrative.
And just when you think you know where the story is headed, Joyce pulls the rug out from under us with the complex subplot involving Remi and Reaper, leaving readers questioning moral choices and the weight of past actions and where the future is headed for them as well as the club.
The chemistry between Vicious and Linsey sizzles, adding a layer of romance that balances out the dark undertones of their respective lives. Their journey is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, showcasing the strength of love amid chaos.
"Vicious" is more than just a love story; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Rebecca Joyce captures the essence of motorcycle club life authentically, offering readers a thrilling escape into a world where family, duty, and desire collide.
If you enjoy books brimming with raw emotion, complex characters, and unexpected twists, "Vicious" is a must-read!
