Wrath

Rate this book
An addiction can be deadly. But the right kind of addiction can be heaven.
It was only meant to be one night, a little taste, some fun. But when she turns up in my city I struggle to resist, I’m completely drawn to her, like a moth to a flame.
My first mistake was taking what I want and trying to keep her at bay. But when she gets too close to breaking down my walls I make my second mistake and push her so hard she falls into an enemies grasp. An enemy the brothers and I didn’t know we had.

The moment I realise she’s gone, I finally admit to myself that one taste was never going to be enough. With the Soulless Knights by my side I’ll set every inch of this world on fire to find her.
She is intoxicating.
Infuriating.
Consuming.
And all mine.

Safety note - OW drama. Manwhore MMC. On page scene of OW giving MMC a BJ, after he already met FMC.
He was with his ex for three years, she cheated, so he swore to never get in any relationship again.

•———•———•
“I got what I needed. I wish it had of been someone else on their knees in front of me. I suddenly feel my own wave of disappointment wash over me. I can’t believe I just face fucked this bitch while imagining Marissa on her knees in front of me."

"I swore after she left me, I’d never get into another relationship again. I swore I’d never let a woman get close. I’ve fucked around, used the club whores, but I’ve never felt like I wanted anything more. No woman has had my attention longer than a quick fuck. No woman since Chloe has garnered anything close to the reaction that this Marissa chick just did."

"I thought I loved Chloe, but having Marissa behind me right now makes me question everything I’ve ever felt. I can’t let her get to me. I can’t let her get under my skin. When Chloe fucked a brother from another club, I swore I’d never let another woman get close to me again. I swore I’d never be so fucking stupid. I decided the moment I caught them that I’d only treat women as warm holes to fuck and use as I saw fit. And the club girls have been just that for the last few years. They’ve been what I needed, everything I wanted. But now that I’ve been with Marissa, I no longer feel certain about the decisions I’ve made."

uh…what?!

First off, lots of errors.
Second she forgave him too soon.
Third, they basically acted like she’d get the sexual assault as if it was nothing.
Then the whole club doesn’t blame him…dude, she wouldn’t have been wondering by herself it wasn’t for Wrath.

I don’t read MC books often but when given this one as an arc I ate it up.

This was a lot darker than any previous MC books I have read, with the MMC being called Wrath you can understand the type of person he is, take no mercy.

Watching his and Marissa’s relationship develop was enjoyable and overall I did enjoy the plot.

But it felt unfinished. There was too many unanswered questions and a lot of the time it was hard to tell when the scene was changing or time was shipping. Overall I feel it could use a bit more work.

Overall

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Wrath is such an awful guy, there's nothing redeemable about him. Every other main side character guy from the MC seemed to be way more caring and amazing than the MMC. I know I give this a 1 star, but I did enjoy it and basically read it in one go. It was corny and it felt like the characters got no development at all, I mean these characters don't even know each other, Wrath and Marissa don't know each other at all.

I really wished this could have been better, but Wrath sucked balls and was such a woman hater. The way Wrath talked about women was vile and disgusting, as another reviewer said, it's surprising a woman wrote this book considering who would want to be referred as the stuff Wrath calls women in this. Absolutely disgusting his behaviour.

I wish this trope would die.

*SPOILERS*

I truly don’t understand the appeal of making your MMC say the most vile, nasty, horrible things to your FMC; have her stand up for her self, just for her to have something traumatic happen to her by outside forces and then immediately forgiving the MMC.

Marissa 1000% should have blamed Wrath. She also should have never been so forgiving after her being rescued. It ruined the whole story for me. I was loving it up until that point. And then everything after that just felt rushed because we needed to get to the HEA, instead of doing an ounce of work to actually make them coming back together feel good for the reader. Wrath did not deserve Marissa. He deserved to stay at the bottom of the bottle. He did nothing to deserve her after the fact either.

The only reason this isn’t getting a 1 star is because I was really enjoying it until about to 76% mark.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I love MC and the cover instantly attracted me to the book. Downside, it took me a little while to get into the story, there was just too many characters at the beginning for my liking. However, once Wrath and Marrisa moved down to London the characters evened out and I got into the story more. I didn’t like Wrath at all. He was an arrogant pillock and even his past didn’t really excuse the way he treated Marissa. However, Marrisa and what she goes through from other people, I won’t give the story away, made up for the bits I didn’t quite like. I sat on the edge of my seat reading the end chapters. All in all, a decent story, it flows well, it has many moments that I liked, if you like a darker MC read then this is one for you.
Beware, it has triggers. It is dark. But it is an MC and you expect some level of darkness from those books. 😊

One of the worst books I have read in a long time. Think of every biker stereotype that you’ve heard of, and it can be found here. Also, so many glaring grammatical errors felt sloppy and distracting. Not all the ends are tied up. Why are there flaming skulls on the cover? There is no arson or fires in the story. Give this a pass.

Wrath, Soulless Knights MC London, Book 1 by Toni Kelly
Star Rating: ★★★½

Grit, Heart, and Heat — A Standout MC Romance

Wrath makes a compelling opening to Toni Kelly’s Soulless Knights MC series, immediately immersing readers in a gritty, authentic motorcycle club world. The novel’s strongest asset is its complex, well-crafted characters, particularly Wrath (Ty) and Marissa “Flex” Brooks. As the club’s new vice president, Wrath is a memorable antihero—tough, fiercely loyal, and deeply scarred by betrayal. His struggle with vulnerability and his tendency to push Marissa away create palpable tension and emotional depth. Marissa, meanwhile, shines as a resilient, headstrong heroine who refuses to be sidelined. Her determination and willingness to confront Wrath make their dynamic crackle with both vulnerability and strength. The romance is intense and tumultuous, providing a satisfying emotional arc as Wrath learns to open his heart and fight for Marissa. The supporting cast, including Nitro (Kai), the steady London Chapter president, and Ice, whose promotion to SAA stirs up conflict, adds further richness to the world. Characters like Tongue (Enforcer) and Dylan (Prospect) help round out a vivid, multi-layered club community, leaving the reader eager for more.



Toni Kelly expertly balances romance and action, weaving in enough plot twists and suspenseful moments to keep the narrative engaging from start to finish.

While a few plot points move a bit quickly, and I would have appreciated more development for some secondary characters—especially from the other chapters—these are minor quibbles in an otherwise gripping read. Fans of romances with a rough edge, high stakes, and a blend of drama, steamy chemistry, and danger will find plenty to enjoy. I’m eager to see where Toni Kelly takes the series next.



**Notable Characters (London Chapter):**

- Marissa “Flex” Brooks: The spirited heroine. Loyal and has a huge heart, but not afraid to confront awkward situations head-on

- Wrath (Ty): Vice President, Hero of the story, fiercely loyal and protective.

- Nitro (Kai): Chapter President, reliable and respected.

- Ice: Newly promoted SAA, his advancement causes friction with some members.

- Tongue & Blades: Enforcers, known for their quiet and deadly ways.

- Gears: Road Captain, keeps the club moving.

- Tank: Treasurer, manages the club’s finances.

- Priest: Secretary, handles club records.

- Data: Security, tech-savvy, and protective.

- Dylan: Prospect, Marissa’s bodyguard, eager to prove himself.

- Doc: Club doctor, provides medical care and support to the members.

- Georgia-Rae: Ice’s baby sister, silent, sweet, but strong-willed. Possible future love interest of Nitro

- Maria: Doc’s Ol’ Lady, adds emotional depth.



Other chapters (Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Birmingham) and some club businesses (Knights Garage, Knights Cafe, and Soulless Ink) are briefly featured, helping to build the world for future books.

- Juggler: Newcastle President, Known for his unpredictable sense of humor and unwavering loyalty.

- Griff: Newcastle SAA, runs Soulless Ink Tattoo shop, longtime friend of Marissa

- Knuckles: Manchester President, tough and fiercely protective of his brothers.

- Brick: Newcastle VP, A fun, friendly, flirty, and humorous member, valued for his strength and reliability.

Summary:
FMC is friends with Soulless Knights Manchester members. She is back in town because her grandfather died. MMC sees FMC at a tattoo parlor and falls for her. But due to his past relationship he believes all women are patch chasers/users. Eventual HEA.

Full Review:
This book was alright. I enjoyed that the FMC was known by the mc. I felt she dealt with a lot of body betrayal syndrome. The MMC basically takes what he wants from her while telling her to stay away from him. I really wanted the FMC to stand her ground and make the MMC work for it. Make him apologize for all he had said to her. This story also just ended...not really on a cliffhanger but just ended. What happened to those who assaulted her, etc.? I guess I will find out in the next book.

Overall, I did enjoy this book, but I couldn’t shake the feeling by the end that something was missing.

The story has a lot of strong elements—interesting characters, a solid MC backdrop, and enough tension to keep things engaging. However, what held it back for me was the lack of certain key moments that would have made the story feel more complete.

There were a few scenes that, in my opinion, really should have been included. Without going into spoilers, I found myself expecting certain reactions and confrontations that never actually happened. For example, I would have liked to see more consequences or responses from others after the way Wrath treated Marissa. It also would have added a lot more depth if Wrath had taken the time to fully explain his actions—though it wouldn’t necessarily have excused them, it would have helped strengthen the emotional impact.

Because of this, I ended up feeling more invested in Marissa’s interactions with the other club members than in her relationship with Wrath himself. That imbalance made their romance feel less developed than it could have been.

In the end, this was a good read, but for my personal taste, it needed a few more key scenes and a bit more emotional depth to truly feel complete.

🔥Stalker Vibes
🖤Obsessive & Protective MMC
🔥Feisty FMC
🖤 Dark Romance

Firstly i would like to thank Toni for the wonderful opportunity to read her amazing book. This was my first book by Toni and i loved every minute I can’t wait to see the rest of the series.

Wrath is the first book in the Soulless Knights MC London series. Wrath and Marissa have such a wonderful and special connection it’s like they were made for each other.
This wonderful book had me on the edge of my seat with suspense, twists and turns.

Wrath is obsessed with Marissa and will stop at nothing to get her even when he is his own worst enemy. Marissa is sassy and doesn’t take crap from no one. Throw in some angst, drama and denial makes one book you don’t want to put down. Let’s not forget about the spice between them 🥵.

If you’re looking for a MC Romance that will keep you guessing and hoping for the happy ending make sure you check out Wrath - Soulless Knights MC London.

📖 Toni Kelly

The perfect dark MC romance. Wrath is book 1 in the Soulless Knights MC London series.

I really enjoyed this book, it was dark and the perfect introduction to Toni Kellys books. Wrath is a Alpha male who lives and is prepared to die by the code of the MC club. I really enjoyed that for how hard and savage he is, for Marissa he is the complete opposite for her. Marissa brings out his softer side and their love story is beautiful. Wrath would burn the world down for her and I love that when He loved he loves deep and its everlasting.
I read this book in January and at the time I remember thinking so many of the other characters could get a book because I just want to dive in deeper with them and know more about the other members of the club.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes MC romances, if you like a bad boy with a heart of gold then you will love this book. There are dark themes so I would recommend you check your triggers.

Dominate alpha male, strong, stubborn female, insta attraction...what's not to love?! Wrath falls hard for Marissa from the moment he sees her, but his past experience has him fighting his attraction, and her, at every turn. When he moves to London, he is shocked to find her there, in HIS neighborhood. Wrath was such an ass, I wanted to hate him, I really did. But when Marissa is kidnapped and horribly abused, he felt so awful, so guilty, you couldn't help but feel for both of them. I loved how he finally manned up, claimed her, and did everything in his power to make her feel loved and safe again. Hot alpha male, beautiful stubborn female, steamy romance, intrigue and betrayal. This book has it all! I can't wait for the next book, and see how they deal with her tormentor and a traitor. Bring it on!

This is the first book I’ve read by Toni Kelly and omg I’m so pleased I started with this book from her.

Wrath is an absolute alpha male, being apart of a motorcycle club, these men stand by a code. They live and breathe the club, they’re brothers not by blood but by a promise. By an oath. In Wraths head, it’s the club and that’s it. Then he meets Marissa

Marissa brings out all these emotions in wrath and he doesn’t know what to do with them.
I didn’t expect what happened and I was looking totally the wrong way. With what I thought was coming.
I got that wrong and omg I wanted to pull Marissa out and hug her so tight.

Go give this story a read I can’t wait for the next story

This story was such a ride I didn’t want to get off, I felt pulled into the story and found myself feeling all these emotions for the characters.


No spoilers because I hate that.

Amazing start to a brand new world and series from Toni Kelly! If you love a broody MMC you will love Wrath ❤️ I love him and Marissa together but they certainly don't have an easy road to get to there.

Marissa knows a member of the MC that Wrath is moving to and that is how they cross paths. Something intrigues both of them from the beginning and feelings soon develop. This book certainly brings the angst and I was shouting at my kindle a few times with Wrath 😂 As well as angst we have spice and also the roller coaster of emotions to get to their HEA. It's a brilliant book that I couldn't put down! 💕

Wrath - Toni Kelly

Received this book as a ARC, and I quite enjoyed it.
This was the first book I've Read from this author, so wasn't to sure what to expect, but it was a good read.

Marissa is the Main Female character, and she was strong, stubborn, independent. She was back in town for a short period of time, when she runs into the one and only Wrath. The build up between these two was sometimes infuriating, but 90% of the time you were turning the pages just anticipating for them to finally connect.

I usually am not a fan of instant-love but this was done well. I definitely would read another book by this author

Wrath and Marissa

This was such a great debut book for this MC series! Toni did a fantastic job developing the characters as individuals and then as their relationship changes. Fair warning: you will want to slap Wrath a time or 2 but have a little patience with him, he’s been burned in the past and is trying to convince himself that he doesn’t want a relationship with Marissa, but he can’t get her out of his head! Marissa ends up a victim by association since Wrath hasn’t claimed her as his old lady and the bad guys get her. Does Wrath get the wake up call her needed to claim Marissa? Does Marissa escape? Does Wrath Grovel?!?! Guess you’ll have to read to find out!

This was my first of Toni's books and I do love an MC romance.

This was a dark and twisted romance with a sassy and feisty FMC and a moody, broody, protective MMC.
This featured some of my favourite tropes:
🏍️Stalker vibes
🏍️ Touch her and 💀
🏍️ He falls first.

As a proud Mancunian I loved the nods to Manchester and the in's and outs of the different MC chapters.
Wrath is the obsessive, morally grey and protective A-hole, Marissa is the ballsy, take no nonsense FMC. Join these 2 and the rest of the Soulless Knights on a rollercoaster of love, angst and a will they won't they have a happy ending journey.

Wrath has been burnt when his first love betrayed him, swearing never to trust a woman or have a relationship again he’s at a loss when he sets eyes on Marissa and finds that one night would never be enough, he keeps pushing her away and in the next breath turning up at her apartment until the final straw, he pushes her away and she’s taken.

Will he be able to find her in time or is she lost for good?

Honestly loved this story and I do hope we learn more from these two, as I felt as though there is something more for them, for me it felt unfinished.

What a great turn in direction for Toni.
Wrath was frustrating and I really did want to punch in the throat at times. But he finally realised. Although he was a dick the care and protection he showered her with was beautiful.
Marissa was absolutely perfect. I loved her fight and the fact she was so sassy and fiesty and stood up for herself.
The family created here is amazing and I can't wait to read more.

OMG 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩++++

Wow what a start to a new series of MC 🫠😜🫠

Wrath, will not let another woman get under his skin 😜

Marissa, photographer won’t let no man tell her what to do 😜

Then these two end up seeing one another and let’s just say that that all flies out the window 🤣🤣

With an unruly MC and a snake (pun intended) on the loose what could happen???

This is a very detailed and 🥵🥵🥵🥵 dark romance

Well done Toni 👏👏👏👏👏

Well, well, Wrath you, frustrating man, yet you made me fall for you hard and fast!!

Wrath and Marissa's story is fast-paced, full of action, and MC banter! I love the change in genre for Toni she has done it so well. Marissa is sassy, strong, and exactly what Wrath needs, but after being burnt in the past, Wrath doesn't easily let her in. As frustrating as Wrath was, he cares and loved really loud!!! Oh, and the spice was spicing!!!

Wrath is know not to take any bull so when threats come at his club he will protect them and he won't any woman get close to him after his ex until Marissa, Marissa is friends with the guys from the soulless knights Mc but when she meets wrath something clicks and sets her on fire.

Great book I couldn’t put it down and I’m not normally a fan of MC books too, I need book two !!! Wrath knows what he wants and don’t wants and a lady isn’t something he wants yes he wants a bit of fun but nothing permanent. But Marissa is someone he cannot say no to but it’s no way plain sailing he makes a total mess constantly her life is in danger.

Wrath falls for Marissa and one steamy night together was not going g to be enough desires that he pushed her away even when he finds out there both in London, but pushing her away puts her in the sights on his enemies and when she's taken, Wrath knows what he has to do to get her back. Well written steamy desires, action, drama, dark themes and more!

Wrath is a large sized baby and a full-on jerk. He got burned once by a girl and is determined to remain unattached. Boohoo. He’s a complete, bi-polar ass to Marissa yet she somehow falls at his feet every time he wants to have sex with her. Oh, and she gets kidnapped, brutally beaten and raped because of him, so there’s that…
