Raging Barons MC - Knuckles, from Amazon International Bestseller J.E Daelman.

Brother, security officer, bouncer, and underground fighter. A lone soul who didn't realize he was ready for more.

Knuckles
Jo needed protecting while at a fight. I did it as a favor to her brother, a fellow fighter. When the situation became more dire, Mia, my Pres’ Ol’ Lady, suggested a brother claim Jo to have to club’s protection, fuck anyone claiming her! I offered without thinking, wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into. What did I know about being in a relationship? All I know was that from the moment I first saw Jo, she was mine. I owed it to both of us to see if this was real. But it soon got real enough, as that asshole after her, showed his ugly head. No one touches what was mine!

Jolene
I was tired of running and feeling guilty that my brother Lincoln had to work and fight to make ends meet for both of us. So, when Mia offered a couple of suggestions I cautiously accepted one of them. I was already attracted to Knuckles, from the moment I laid eyes on him. Plus, he wasn’t the type to force anything I wouldn’t want. There wasn’t anything I didn’t want…plus he had those dimples! I’d follow him anywhere. And no sooner did I agree when Tommaso made his appearance. I had to dig deep to save not only myself but Knuckles as well.

Knuckles was awesome!

Knuckles meets his girl Jo and her brother, she is running from a crazy mafia thug who is trying to overtake the current Don that the club has had interactions with through Nell. This guy is determined to make her his mistress at any cost, and Knuckles is determined to make her his old lady. Somehow she's ok with that.
Meat is up to his usual antics and meets a mysterious woman. It gets really interesting, as he's dressed as Captain Avenger and she shows up out of nowhere dressed as Wonder Woman..
Jan Daelman brought a little more heat to the kitchen in this one and it was great. The characters were so well suited. This book was awesome!
Read the whole series!

Lincoln who is Jo brother asked Knuckles to watch his sister while he was fighting. Jo is in hiding from a capo for the mob, who says Jo is his.
When Mia finds out she says that Jo needs to be claimed by someone in the club so Jo will be protected at all times from Tommaso the Capo. Knuckles offered without thinking about what he was doing.

Jo was already attracted to Knuckles, from the moment she saw him while he was protecting her when her brother was fighting. Jo was brought the solution to protect her and she agreed.
When they both get kidnapped she sees how far Knuckles will go to,protect her.

Each book keeps getting better. Knuckles is a member of the MC but fights at night. One fight night, he's asked to watch the door, and a fighter Lincoln asked knuckles to watch his sister Jo. Right away, he is smitten with her. He finds out Lincoln and Jo have been in hiding from a man who has claimed Jo as his. Well, Knuckles isn't having that and will protect her with his life.
This story has suspense, love, and family. And let's just say Knuckles dimples will make a girl swoon.

This book drew me in and I couldn’t put it down. Knuckles meets Jo through her brother who fought in the same fights the Knuckles did. Jo and her brother were hiding from a man who had decided he wanted Jo for himself. When events happen and Jo and Knuckles are kidnapped Knuckles goes in to protective mode. I love all the brothers and how they are always there to have their brothers back. I couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

what a great story

Each book gets better. The characters are amazing and full of mischief when they interact. Always a HEA, and thankfully more story than sex! Looking forward to the next book! Thank you JD for a very enjoyable read!

This time we get to witness Knuckles find his forever love. Their love story does not happen in a typical way, but I think that is what makes it that much better. Knuckles finds himself working at an underground fight when he agrees to watch over Jo while her brother takes his turn in the ring. Little does Knuckles know that Jo has trouble surrounding her. Jo’s not sure how she feels at first about Knuckles, but she, like me, is a sucker for dimples. And Knuckles has them!

Jo and her brother have been working hard to keep Jo out of sight, since someone took an unhealthy interest in her. Jo feels awful that she can’t help her brother, Lincoln, with expenses because working would expose her and leave her vulnerable. Luckily, Jo’s neighbor Sybil reaches out to give her a job and lets her feel as if she is helping. With Sybil, I have found another character I want to be when I grow up!!

Knuckles has no idea how to be in a relationship, but is willing to give it a try. Just when Knuckles and Jo decide to give it a real shot, the man with the unhealthy obsession shows up and puts their budding relationship to the test.

Going in I wasn’t sure what kind of story Knuckles would bring. But this one has turned out to be one of my favorites of the whole series! Of course with any Raging Barons book we get glimpses of all of our favorite characters. Can’t wait to see who falls next and what happens!!

Knuckles is at one of the underground fights and is asked to watch out for Jo the sister of one of the fighters. Jo is running from a Mafia Capo who saw her at a restaurant and decided she would be his mistress.
First Jo meets her neighbor and begins doing some things to help her around the house. Well turns out this neighbor is part of the "grandma group" of the Raging Barons. (They rank right up there with the old guys from Satan's Guardians) and the bring in the Old Ladies who all jump right in to help.
When Knuckles and the club find out they want to help. Mia suggests someone claim her to keep her safe.
Knuckles has an attraction to Jo and she to him. He also has this insanely strong need to protect her so they agree that he will claim her. When Jo and knuckles get kidnapped by the crazy Capo, he does everything and anything to protect her and so does the club. Great book but I have so many questions, what will happen with Lincoln? Who is going to knock Meat off his feet, have we met her? What will happen with the new girl they rescued? Can't wait to continue this ride with the Raging Barons

This was another awesome read by J.E. Daelman which I read in one sitting! Knuckles and a few of the other brothers are at a underground fighting event when Knuckles is asked to keep an eye on Lincoln's sister Jo, which is no problem since she's caught his eye. But he's never been one to think of being in a relationship and even though girls are NO problem, especially with the dimples he just hasn't been looking, just having his "fun'. Reasons come to light as why she needs someone to keep an eye on her and after some discussions it's suggested that someone claim Jo to protect her, and lets just say Knuckles has decided he will, no one else is getting that chance. They talk and decide to give it a go, I love how he took the time for them to get to know each other and see where the feelings took them; and boy do they take. There are so many wonderful characters with The Raging Brothers, old ladies and side characters. Meat and his costumes and antics are hilarious and the mystery woman that pops up in costume too, I'm so here for it!! Great story and wonderful to see Jo and Knuckles fall in love, can't wait to see what's next in this world.

Out of boredom, Knuckles participates in underground fighting matches and also works the door as a bouncer. A fellow fighter asked him to keep an eye on his sister Jolene (Jo) during his match. Turns out, a mafia capo is after her because he wants her as his mistress. In order to keep her safe, Knuckles claims her as his old lady so she has the protection of the MC. On the way to the compound they are kidnapped. After a week they finally are rescued along with another woman (future book about her and Stitch? We’ll see). Join the ride as Knuckles and the MC search for the mafia capo, Jo, who is an aspiring author, gets her books published, and the craziness ensues. A random woman shows up a few times and catches Meat’s eye……a story for him soon??? This was a great addition to the Raging Baron’s MC books. Just a nice story with no unnecessary drama.

Take a big strong silent badass biker, add a sweet gentle soul who’s running from a nasty man, and add a girl gang that could clear the halls of hell faster than a freeze over. What do you get? Well if it is this talented but wickedly funny a writer, you get a chaotic twisted ride on a roller coaster with no brakes.
This is Knuckles’s story and it really does amp up the adventures the Raging Barons are know for. And he has dimples! Ooooo, poor guy.
When Mr. Nasty takes prisoners, the real fights begins. With Knuckles beside her, Jo joins the fight to take back her life. The Barons are truly raging and the surprises keep coming. Teasers from the next book (OMG) or books take the cake! All I can say is “ cue the evil author laughter as she twists our tails!”
Seriously, what a ride!

Another one that is packed full of crazy! I felt for Jo at the start, her world so small, all because a man "wants" her and not in a good way. You have to give it to her brother for doing all he can to keep her safe. I thought it funny how Jo got pulled into the MC, but so glad that it happened. She and her brother now have a larger family, one that will always keep Jo safe, no matter what and give Lincoln the peace of mind he needed so that he can go after his dreams.

It sucked that it took so long for the bad guy to get caught, but it gave time for Jo and Knuckles to get to know each other, for Jo to feel comfortable with the MC, to get to know everyone and revel in the crazy. The ending was great, Jo finding success on her own and safe with Knuckles and the MC.

Never gets old

No and Knuckles story was so great. How he steps up to rescue the damsel in distress and they fall in love. One again the author gives us the hero and heroin, the danger and drama. The old ladies becoming strong accepting Jo immediately into their coven as BS calls them. The brother's bonding even more when looking to rescue their brother's and Jo. And let's not forget Meat because any female reading this series loves that crazy male. I hope we get a book where he finds and catches his wonder woman.

Absolutely love Knuckles and his protective personality

Now all the men in the Raging Barons have that alpha protective personality but Knuckles sees himself a very strong but sensitive man. I think so at least. When he is asked to keep watch over a fellow fighter’s sister he readily agrees. When he life is found to be in danger by the club he steps up. Jo has a quiet yet strong personality that blends well with Knuckles. Oh boy and Meat has a story beginning that will get you laughing and hoping things work out. Let the chase begin…

A Must Read!!! Jan hit this story out of the ballpark and had all of the ladies swooning whenever Knuckles flashed those dimples. The story line just flows and has you turning the pages to see what interesting character might show up next, or what shenanigans might be going on. Jolene and Knuckles find themselves kidnapped by her obsesser, but wait until you see what happens next, so grab your copy and find out. Happy reading!

Fantastic

I cannot say enough good things about this book and series. Jolene is in trouble and needs help, in steps the MC and Knuckles who should be called dimples puts up his hand to pretend to claim her.But what starts off as pretend soon turns into something real.Knuckles and the MC step in when the bad guy comes for Jolene.All of the awesome characters from past books in the series make an appearance in this book and they are as funny and awesome as we have come to expect. If you’re looking for an MC series that’s funny,has loveable characters and happily ever after s then I totally recommend this series and author 🖤❤️ 5 star ⭐️

I hope Stitch sorts his heartache out. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ grab a copy, you won’t be disappointed 😎

Knuckles by J E Daelman

This is the ninth book in this series and I loved it like all the others. It is a light MC which I prefer. It is Knuckles and Jolene’s story. A mafia Capo is after Jo and she has only her brother for protection. Her next door neighbor Sybil becomes involved which drags in the “girl gang” from the Raging Barons MC. Knuckles claims Jo and the drama begins. They definitely have a HEA with the drama mixed in and a little role play from Jo’s romance books.

Another brilliant Raging Barons story. Jo is being hunted by a Mafia Capo and is in hiding. Her brother is a fighter and that is where she meets Knuckles. Knuckles instantly falls for Jo and when it is suggested that an MC member claims her for protection he immediately steps forward.

The book is full of drama, danger, plot twists and of course the hilarious escapades of the usual culprits.

Loved recieved an ARC for an honest review.

Wow Knuckles and Jo have a connection from when they met.

Lincoln and her are on the run from what or who?

She is put into the protection of the MC but what happens to her and Knuckles and will the MC be able to get them back.

Loving the series you need to read to see what happens.

Back with the Raging Barons, and it's time for Knuckles to get his love story. Our boy goes to a fight and meets a girl. He is of course intrigued by this girl, and when he learns that this girl is in trouble he wastes no time in coming up with a solution that will bring them together. I loved Knuckles and Jo, but I think the best part was watching Amelia and her ladies get in on the action.

Those Dimples

You know it's a good day when another Jan Daelman book becomes available. That model was prefect too. Absolutely loved Jo for Knuckles. She needed a hero and Knuckles and the MC delivered all the heroics, testosterone, and girl gang antics we love. Hoping both Meat and Stitch get the happily every afters they deserve soon.

Let the mayhem continue.

I loved this so much. It was hard to put down,when real life intrudes. The guys are dropping fast and they’re loving it. There’s danger and worry brought to the clubs door again, but they pull together to overcome. There’s concern for Meat, rightly so, but he provides so much humour as well and does he have a gleam in his eye? We shall find out I’m sure.

beyond outstanding

I enjoyed this one so very much. I forgot everything and stayed reading. Now I am stressing because I don’t want to leave the characters. I think I may have to reread this series….highly recommend the series and this book. I am looking forward to reading whatever this author writes next. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger. Highly addictive (ha ha).

Good Read! Yabba Dabba Doo! 😉😉

This was a fun read. Knuckles is very protective of Jo and I liked that they are together. My favorite character in this series is Meat. Jo and her brother Lincoln are in hiding and they end up getting help from the Raging Barons MC which makes this book kick into high gear.

Raging Barons MC

Love this series!!! I’ve read Books 1 through 8 and can’t wait until more come out. I get so disappointed when I have to wait for more..I’m really not interested in finding another book until Ms. Daelman’s next book comes out..the waiting is awful!!!

The characters draw you right into their lives and I’ve enjoyed every minute.

Enjoyed the characters

I wasn't prepared to like Knuckles as much as I did and Jolene (Jo) is even more likeable. I enjoyed getting to know both characters. Lincoln, Jo's brother, is working every job he can get so he do what he needs to protect his sister. There are some steamy scenes. There are some really funny scenes with Meat (no spoilers).

A great read a wonderful story.

How J.E. writes a story about an MC and within that story is another layer this time with the mafia involved. The writing is exceptional. I get interested in the other characters and wonder if will read about them. I hope there is more than ten books in the series. I am glad Jo and Knuckles got their HEA they deserved theirs.

Good Read

I really enjoyed reading this book. The story had me captivated and I loved reading Jo coming out of shell once she and her brother gained more support for their situation. I’ve liked Knuckles for a few books so I was glad to see him get his HEA in this book. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series and would recommend this one.
