Stitches

Devil's Fury MC #13

by Harley Wylde

Marci -- My sister and her boyfriend had been my entire world, until I lost them both. Laura died, and Stitches walked away. I’ve lived in hell for the past seven years thanks to a brother who should have protected me. Instead, he used me to further his career, not caring whether I lived or died. Now Stitches is back, right in front of me. I always thought of him as an older brother, so why does he suddenly seem so sexy? What would Laura think if she knew I was falling for the man she loved?

Stitches – When I lost my woman and daughter, I walked away. I should have taken her little sister, Marci, with me. Instead I trusted her family. My mistake. If I’d checked on Marci, kept in touch, I’d have known she was in trouble. Now she’s back in my life, battered and broken. The men who dared to hurt her will pay with their lives. Especially her older brother. I failed her before, but this time I’ll get vengeance for all she’s suffered. It never occurred to me I’d end up falling for her along the way. I only hope if Laura is watching over us, she’d approve, because I don’t think I can hold myself back.

Guaranteed happily ever after, no cliffhanger, no cheating. Recommended for readers 18+ due to adult situations, language, and violence.

About the author

Harley Wylde is the International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil's Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.

When Harley's writing, her motto is the hotter the better -- off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can't deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you've come to the right place. She doesn't shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

The times Harley isn't writing, she's thinking up naughty things to do to her husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She's also fond of TV shows and movies from the 1980's, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990's to today, even though she'd much rather be reading or writing.

I wasn't expecting this, but it was amazing. I loved this one. Can't wait for more.

[Grinning Cat · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one falls under the category More Triggers Than An NRA Swap Meet, because it gives details of SA/R/CSA/Abuse. So keep that in mind when you decide whether to read this book, and be considerate of your mental health. There’s NO CHEATING but I definitely would say this book is NOT SAFE.
There’s a certain rot that has crept into the Devil’s Fury MC, which was revealed when people turned on Minnie, and then turned on Meredith (whose erratic and destructive behavior was an indication of a serious mental illness). This club looooves its scapegoating, so now the fault apparently lies with Farrah and Mariah, who are straight-up awful b*tches. Seriously. I’m glad they got their comeuppance, but tbh, I think they are just a symptom of the scapegoating, elitism, negative attitudes, and rudeness that Badger has allowed to infect the club without putting a stop to it. I’m hoping that this will be the end of that vibe, because I don’t like most of the Fury right now. I don’t like that Mariah’s old man Savage has suddenly jumped sides, because I think he’s just as much a part of the problem as his wife. Frankly, the whole lot of them could use counseling and mediation. And they need to keep trying until they find a counselor that works (looking at you, Marcy and Stitches, o great FMC and MMC of this book).
Heat in this book is EXPLICIT.
TRIGGERS include details of SA/R/CSA/Abuse, Violence, Blood, Stillbirth, Thoughts of Self Harm, Death in Childbirth, Child Abduction, Exploitation for Breeding Purposes, Language, and Guinea Pig poop. Sh*t definitely gets real.
TROPES include She’s All Grown Up, Sibling’s Ex, Lost and Found Children, Found Family, Mean Girls, Club Medic, Marriage of Convenience.

Stitches is book 13 in the Devil's Fury MC. It is Stitches and Maci. Stitches is the one that takes care of the clubs medical needs. Maci is the little sister of Stitches late girlfriend. Stitches lost his girlfriend and infant daughter and is still trying to get over the loss. Maci has gone through severe trauma of her own that has her not able to trust anyone.
Stitches is sent to rescue a group of women and children and it is at that time that his past has come back to haunt him.
Can Stitches and Maci overcome their heartbreaking pasts to make a future together? Can Maci let go enough to trust Stitches to take care of her an dnot betray her trust?
This story is a beautiful, heartbreaking and an emotionally charged read that will have you grabbing for the tissue box. The journey will leave you emotionally drained, yet truly satisfied that Maci has had all her dreams come true.
Thank you Harley for giving us such wonderful stories and captivating characters!

Stitches aka Adam has kept a secret from the Devil’s Fury for a long time. He doesn’t want anyone to know about his loss of his daughter and girlfriend. When a part of his past comes through the gates, he needs to finally open up. Marci was used by her brother Richard as a pawn. With being rescued by Ram and his woman, she is free. But what does that mean? When she sees Stitches again she is surprised. Will he be able to heal her heart and soul?

OMG, what a piece of work Marci’s brother, Richard is. How can he do that to his own blood? He deserved his fate. Stitches has so much guilt but he needs to let that go. These two need each other to heal. They also get so much more and deserve it too. I want to know about Mariah and Farrah. Granted they are a PITA but still want to know. I hope the Devil’s Fury heal soon. Badger is a great prez. He doesn’t need all this drama in the club. They all need to pull together and fix the problems.

Stitches, of the Devil's Fury MC, used his medical knowledge to help out his club and to help when they would rescue women and children. A new group of women had been rescued from sexual abuse, and though they were too fragile for a physical exam, he could at least see them and judge the amount of physical and emotional damage. Little did he know that the last women would bring back a past he was trying to forget....and one he never told his pack about.

Marci was now ten years older than when Stitches knew her as a teenager....and no longer the carefree, happy girl he knew. Now she was a grown woman, a victim of abuse and betrayal. He could not walk away....could he?

Will there be a happy ending to the tragic lives of two damaged people who need to heal and find their way in the world?

This is the 13th book in the Devils Fury MC series and we meet Marci and Stitches. They are both not in good places when they meet again as Marci has been used and abused but is rescued by the MC and Stitches has a past with her sister and is not happy to find out Marci has been abused as he thought her brother would protect her.

They meet and have chemistry but both are broken, this is an emotional read and both start healing slowly with each other and there are good surprises and vengeance (which is well deserved) along the way. Harley Wylde never fails to deliver and this is no exception as long as she keeps writing her amazing stories I will keep reading them!

[Leslee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was so heartbreaking, I got teary a couple of times. Marci had literally given up hope of anything ever changing. If Ram hadn't found her and the others, she knew it was only a matter of time before her torture would finally end. To end up at the Devil's Fury, face to face with her sister's ex, Stitches felt a lot like Fate. Stitches never thought that anything would hurt worse than his baby daughter's death. To see Marci again after all these years, knowing how she has suffered, just about took him out. I fell in love with this couple, to see them both safe and happy was everything I could have hoped for!

[Laura Criddle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches’ story was such a treat! They all are of course but sometimes a surprise twist makes these books really shine! A chance reunion that was written in the stars reunites two old acquaintances. Marci and Stitches were separated years in the past after the loss of mutually loved family and fate puts them together again…. terrible circumstances then and now. So much detail of the suffering Marci endured throughout the horror she experienced. Tough subject matter very well written. She needed Stitches to patch heart and soul…. and reunite her with her missing children. Twists and turns and retribution keep you on the edge the entire story! Another superb addition to this series!

[julie winslett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Harley Wylde did it once again. More of the Devis Fury, starring Stitches and Marci. Marci was a past life Stitches wasn’t prepared to deal with. But once confronted with it, he was determined to make things right. As far as the Devils Fury goes I’m glad to see them moving forward as a club Without all the drama and separation between the brothers! This book was outstanding, and I highly recommend anybody reading. This review, reads it! I finished it in one setting, because I couldn’t put it down!

[Tanieka Pelmore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches was in love with Laura, and when she died in childbirth and their daughter died with her. It was a tragedy that he just couldn't deal with so Marci, Laura little sister that she took care of he just couldn't bear to see. He never knows that her home life became hell for her over the years until when he is doing medical exams on the women that were rescue from human trafficking and he see Marci just how bad her life became. Stitches does everything to make her life better and they fall in love as he helps Marci have a life again.

[Dark and Angsty · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I love Harley Wyldes book this one definitely one of my new favorites! Stitches has a kept his life before the club a secret so when someone from his past life walks through those gates after living through hell his whole life is shaken up and when he least expects it with who he least expects it from his life changes in all the best ways ❤️ Harley killed it with this book! It’s different then any of her other age gap, forbidden story lines and while Harleys books are shorter they are never lacking in plot or spice! I can’t wait for the next one

[GKP2460 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a heartbreaking, emotional story. Stitches comes face to face with his past when some rescued girls are brought in. He hasn't had to think about his past for years until he saw Marci. Their journey is not an easy path, but then again, none of these guys have it easy with their women. Stitches and Marci have lots to work through in this great, fast-paced, age gap read. True to this authors style, she's given us another fantastic story!

[Peggy Darrow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches has had a really rough life, when he couldn't handle his pain, he locked himself thinking everyone would be ok. Marci, only had one person that cared and he poofed on her. then her family betrayed her in the worst way possible. When Stitches sees Marci again, he realizes that he did a horrible thing. wading thru thier pain together, they find they are stronger than they thought. This book was awesome, and heartbreaking. loved it

[Andrea Fernandez · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story was powerful, strong, meaningful and heartfelt. Stitches and Marci will take you on a journey that will break you apart and then put you back together in a way that you never expected. I can’t even put into words how much I love this book. It was raw and gritty but definitely worth all the heartache. Harley Wylde never ceases to amaze me.

[Debbie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches fces his past whe he sees Marci for the first time in years. She was the little sister of his girlfriend that died giving birth to his stillborn baby. They navigate their new life's and start dating and getting married. I'm glad to see the Devils Fury move past the drama and the brothers being t odds with each.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches is trying to let go of his past but coming across Marci opens the wound. When he finds out about everything, she has gone through he goes ballistic. This touching story will pull at your heartstrings and have you in their corner as they build a life together with the help of his MC brothers.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

[Carly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!!! What a great read!!! Stitches finds someone from his past who needs help so of course he steps in. Marci and stitches start as friends more before the romance starts. A few twists and turns along the way. Heaps of spice of course. I bit of a stupid thing/misunderstanding that Stitches does near the end but he’s a man so that’s pretty much expected. Definitely a 5 star read!!!

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love all books Harley Wylde. Stitches doesn't disappoint but it does take heartbreak to a whole new level. The atrocities that happened Maci are beyond comprehendible. When Stitches finds her in the apartment and realizing who she is and making sure she's safe and protected. It's great to see Badger getting his club in line.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally!

I was really tired of the sisters, I am glad they are finally feeling some consequences. Really enjoyed the background and the history between the characters. Them already having a prior relationship I honestly believe was to the only way to make them work together. It was really heartfelt and made you invested in their happiness.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gorgeous, heartbreaking sweet read.

After stitches loses everything he isn't looking for something new.

Than in walks Marci, wow loved it can't wait for more the emotions you feel is just stunning ❤️

[Autumn Rose Tate · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book brought me too tears!!! Stitches never thought he would see Marci again. After her sister and niece died during birth. He definitely didn’t expect to see her so broken and hurt. These two both needed to heal, and they needed each other. While stitches helped Marci heal by showing her he would do whatever it too, she helped him morn his baby girl and her sister. This couple deserved a happy ending. It was hard fought. Not only did this author write and emotional roller coaster, but the way she involves past characters and helps pave the road for new ones is amazing!! I can’t wait for who’s next

Book Review

Love and humor that was put in this story as well as the showing family is not just about those who related by blood are those who are family through love! This author has a way of telling about hard subjects in a way that helps people understand them!

[Nadine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the characters, loved the story line. Stitches finally gets his hea. I laughed some, cried more. The story was an emotional roller-coaster ride from beginning to end. It was gut wrenching with some lightness in between and a hea at the end. A must read for sure.

[Martha Abell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice addition to the series

The story isn’t right for everyone but it was well thought out. I liked the characters. Always want the book to have more pages. I like Ms. Wylde’s books a lot and have most if not all of them.

[Lisbeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little boring, otherwise ok read. Side note. Really glad the two bitches sisters, were told to leave, not sure, how it will work out, ones they are back, we will see. Still don't like the club, sorry.

Oh my goodness I absolutely loved this book, Harley's books are so good, and I can't wait for the next book.Yes there may be triggers for some but don't stop reading as with any love story good & bad things happen. & love always wins.

[Danaca Edwards · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stitches is clearly one of my favorites 😍 the way he found Marci and took her in. I swear the men in Harley's books just do me in every time. And then helping her find her kids had me in tears absolutely loved this book can't wait for more ❤️

And when the past comes to light, he can finally have some peace and happiness
