Takeback #6
Dangerous Hearts
I was the daughter of Satan.
The sister of Zeus.
An unwitting outlaw motorcycle club princess that was my legacy—the past I knew I’d never outrun. I just didn’t know that would mean literally. Now I had two risk my father finding me and selling me to pay off a debt, or marry a deliciously hot stranger who hated me.
Fake marriage it was.
Now I just had to safeguard my heart and not fall for my fake husband. That should’ve been easy. Davis Wright despised my brother and he was a judgmental jerk.
Unfortunately, I’d misunderstood his intentions.
Jane Morgan was the sister of a man I despised.
An outlaw MC president I was going to help put down.
So why did I offer to marry her to keep her safe? Why was I drawn to her vulnerability, her extraordinary eyes, her grit and determination to survive?
My fake wife was more than I’d bargained for. I was falling hard and fast and wanted to take the fake out of our marriage. Just when I’d convinced her we had a chance at the real thing, I lost her.
Someone has my wife. And when I find them, there will be hell to pay.

It's really hard not to feel for Jane the more that you learn her story. You can see why she loves her brother Treavor, but hates Zeus and her father. And sure things seem fake with Davis at the start, but very quickly they don't stay that way. I really loved how at every turn Davis took the time to let Jane know how great she was and how he didn't see things as fake. Coming home could have turned into a disaster, but everyone of the Takeback crew accepted Jane with open arms and kept letting her know how much they wanted her around to be friends, something she has needed her whole life.
Things were a bit dicey at the end, especially with what happened with Jane and her brother, but she's in a great place, surrounded by friends and people her love her to help her work through things. Having Davis by her side just makes things all the better.

Dangerous Hearts🖤🖤🖤
Dangerous Hearts is the next book in the Takeback series and focuses on Jane, the sister of the man they all despise, Zeus and Davis. Their start is a little unconventional especially when Jane at the end of the last book calls to ask for help and suddenly disappears. Concerned about why she’s disappeared and where she’s disappeared to, Davis starts tracking her. Some time later he finds her and just in the nick of time too….phew😅
A great story and I can’t wait for Wilson’s story next especially when a certain person’s granddaughter was mentioned too🤩 Love this series and how it’s progressed…definitely recommend😍

Did I start reading this as soon as the pre-order hit my Kindle?? YES!!!
I loved this book so much. Davis & Jane were perfection. The banter was phenomenal and they were so hot together. The balance between the two was on point. I also loved seeing all of the other characters in this world. My heart is so happy right now.
Riley Edwards never disappoints. I cannot wait for Wilson’s book and the new series she has coming up.

Davis is swoon worthy x 100 and when he is assigned to protect Jane, the sister of Zeus, he didn’t expect to be attracted to the woman whose brother they are trying to take down. Jane is guilty by association, her brother Zeus, the leader of a notorious MC, isn’t the brother she knows and loves. For years people have judged her because of Zeus, but she has had nothing to do with him for many years. She mourns the loss of her brother Trevor, the brother she had before he became Zeus and now she’s made a mistake and asked for help from him. He in turn tells her to contact Takeback and Davis follows her to Hawaii to protect her….their story starts out rocky at their first meet but time and time and time again, Davis shows her what it’s like to be loved, cherished, heard and shows her what living a life is all about instead of just existing….too bad others are willing to use her against Zeus now that everyone knows he has a sister.
Sighing and swooning throughout this read as Davis, who doesn’t hold back, he protects with all he is, nor does he shy away from his feelings, goes all in with Jane from the start….no drama, true honesty and a connection between them you can feel through the pages.
A great read with steam, some suspense and amazing characters will have you flipping the pages and falling in love with these two.

This is book 6 in the Takeback series and while it could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the previous books before reading this one. You meet her brother and the team in all the previous books, so it would give you a more complete understanding of things that have happened and will happen. I was the daughter of Satan. The sister of Zeus. An unwitting outlaw motorcycle club princess that was my legacy—the past I knew I’d never outrun. I just didn’t know that would mean literally. Now I had two risk my father finding me and selling me to pay off a debt, or marry a deliciously hot stranger who hated me. Fake marriage it was. Now I just had to safeguard my heart and not fall for my fake husband. That should’ve been easy. Davis Wright despised my brother and he was a judgmental jerk. Unfortunately, I’d misunderstood his intentions. Jane Morgan was the sister of a man I despised. An outlaw MC president I was going to help put down.
So why did I offer to marry her to keep her safe? Why was I drawn to her vulnerability, her extraordinary eyes, her grit and determination to survive? My fake wife was more than I’d bargained for. I was falling hard and fast and wanted to take the fake out of our marriage. Just when I’d convinced her we had a chance at the real thing, I lost her. Someone has my wife. And when I find them, there will be hell to pay.
I have been waiting for the other team members stories and Davis was one that I was really intrigued by, followed closely by his boss. And let me tell you, I loved how this story played out! Jane is a character that I absolutely loved even while her childhood broke my heart. She had been through so much, and has such a strength of character that she made it through-while not exactly whole, she still turned her life into a different direction. Davis comes across as judgmental at first, and I was iffy on whether I was going to still like him. But he turned it around quickly and I loved how he was with Jane. I love how he makes her see herself the way he sees her. Now, here was where I couldn't decide whether to be broken hearted or not. What happens with her brother Zeus. Based on previous books, I wanted him to get his comeuppance. Then learning about their childhood, I was hoping for redemption of some sort. And then with what does happen?? I readily admit that I cried. Not for him, but for her. This book was such a great read, and I think it's now my favorite of the series!

It's always wonderful to have background on a storyline that just oozes action. And this one jumps right in with both feet while the plot thickens. Biker MC double up. Wow with rash and gut decisions, grit, explanations, revelations, tumultuous emotions, all rolled in. I had to dial back and listen again as this appeared somewhat out of Riley's box, not quite instalove but almost. Not quite innocent but almost, and not what I thought how a takeback alpha would be written Definitely unusual. Like the previous book, the tone tended to focus on developing relationships more than the action packed suspense in other books.
I found there was a lot of couples small talk and it kinda slowed the flow for awhile.
The h was more cagey than I cared for to start with, and I knew there was a reason.
I wasn't disappointed. Then the "out of the box" fell into place like a Riley Edwards jigsaw puzzle. Although at times I felt like I was listening to YA with the h's personal history and her responses to the family.
Alarm bells went off close to the end and I knew this story was going to swing into action. .. Riley style. I was coming up with all sorts of scenarios but this wasn't one so i was surprised.
I must say i was surprised to hear Jeffery Kafer, he's always narrated military type books so to have him in Riley's story was different. However in saying that, the plot allowed for a no nonsense, gruff, alpha, to wade into MC territory, and that is definitely Jeffery Kafer. His voice for the romance/steam side however, didn't quite give me the takeback feeling. It felt kinda choppy .
Lessa had some strong edges which again suited the h. Her voice also bled into the tone along with Jefferys for the story. Sometimes her narration had a little too much inflection and I got a little impatient.
Unfortunately this book is not one of my favourites, more due to narrators than story line

Dangerous Hearts
She's hiding, running from people that want things from her she can't control. She asked for help but didn't get it so she took off. But changing her appearance doesn't stop him from recognizing her. He doesnt out her though, he plays along in the bar to keep her true identity hidden til he can figure out what's going on. Why she's running? Turns out there are worse things out there than her motorcycle club president brother; her ends of the earth reaching motorcycle head honcho president dad that has ties to all things bad all over the world.
Davis thinks he knows all there is to know about Jane. But when she finally lets her dads bane drop, the guys at takeback are shocked. They had no idea what secrets Zeus really has or what has led to him being the bad guy he has become, granted he still loves his sister and will do what he can to protect her which is why he told her to call the guys at Takeback to help her navigate dealing with her Dad giving her as payment.
Davis believes marrying her will be one way to stop this, Zeus agrees but still doesn't trust this will keep the old man from trying something stupid to get Jane. She will be claimed and part of Takeback.
But there are other factors at play that Davis and the guys will have to deal with. There are still issues with Zeus that have to be dealt with.
The chemistry and interactions between these two plus getting back in touch with the Takeback gang was awesome as always. Just love reading Riley Edwards books

Davis Wright worked for Takeback, an organization that helped other organizations break up sex trafficking groups and get justice for those being held by them. They had moved their operation from Phoenix, Arizona to Idaho when one of their members got married. They had nothing else holding them in Arizona and really wanted to keep Rhode in their organization. They had been trying to breakup a motorcycle gang that was led by Trevor Lawrence, AKA Zeus. Zeus was getting more involved in sex trafficking , drugs, etc. and when Zeus took over the local leader, he edged into prostitution as well. Davis was especially anxious to tear down Zeus's hold on the area.
Jane Morgan (nee Lawrence) called Wilson McCray, the leader of the Takeback) for help when she learned her father, Satan, wanted to marry her off to pay his debts. She turned to her brother Terence for help and he told her to call Wilson. Wilson put her off for a few days and since she needed immediate help, she went to Zeus for false papers and went on the run. Their father was a horrible abusive man who both of his children disliked intensely. Trevor had protected Jane as they were growing up and although she disliked his current life choices, she still loved her big brother.
Takedown decides to help Jane when they find Satan is looking for her. With money supplied by Zeus, Davis flies to Hawaii with Jane where they get married. Wilson makes sure their picture in the papers where her father is sure to find it. Wilson hopes to draw Satan out and catch him. It is up to Davis to keep Jane safe.

Soooo good! Dangerous Hearts (Takeback #6) will grip you from the start. Jane's childhood was a battle to survive life with her father, always judged for who and what he is, she prefers to remain anonymous, shunning friends and relationships, trusting no one and now running for her life from her father who wants to use her to pay a debt. Takeback have been after Jane's brother Zeus for months and Davis Wright will stop at nothing to get him, tracking Jane down he believes she is the key to taking down Zeus but when Davis and Jane meet sparks fly and he quickly realises he is as guilty of wrongly judging her by association as everyone else and Jane is definitely not the woman he believed. Determined to protect the shy but stubborn and feisty woman who has taken up residence in his heart, Davis proposes a fake marriage to stop her father coming after her and all too soon the fake marriage begins to feel very real.
Absolutely loved Jane and Davis, he offers her the unconditional love she always wanted and shows her that she truly deserves to live a full and happy life. Emotion, action, friendships and difficult family relationships and proof that family isn't always blood but the people we choose to hold close.

Davis and Jane
This was a very entertaining read. Riley Edwards knows how to write the best protective heroes who fall for the strongest of heroines. This was super low angst with a touch of instant love. And as always, some major found family vibes.
Jane and Davis should have hated each other on sight. But they quickly realized their initial judgments of each other were wrong. They had so many commonalities and they were both headstrong and stubborn. Davis doesn’t hesitate to step in and protect his enemy’s sister, but he definitely got more than he bargained for.
It took some time for Jane to truly believe in what Davis told her. Lucky for her, he was as good with his actions as he was with his words. I loved the way Davis both showed and told Jane his feelings. He never hesitated to be honest with her and didn’t hold back. What started out as a fake marriage of convenience turned to a very real, very genuine marriage.
I loved Jane and Davis together. He gave her the family and friends she had always secretly wanted and none of them ever judged her for who her father or brother were. Their story was one full of romance, emotional moments, and just enough humor to keep it lighthearted. It was a quick, engaging read, with the perfect ending. I’m so excited for Wilson’s story next! It’s definitely been a long time coming!

*swoon*
I have so many feelings about this book. I adored every page I turned and fell more and more for Jane and Davis with each turn.
I don’t think I can fall harder for the characters in this series yet each time I am proven so very wrong.
I loved Jane, how despite her start in life she was most definitely not that. She was so totally different and had such a strong sense of herself, right and wrong and the grey in between. I adored how she loved the memory of what once was but recognised that the reality wasn’t anywhere near the same despite her wishing it was.
Davis just fell so hard, so deep, so fast it gave me whiplash and heart palpitations at the same time 🤣. I adored how despite their different standpoints on a certain topic, he worked hard to listen, understand and support what Jane needed whilst being protective and adoring at the same time.
The team are, as always, amazing and the girl gang is one I desperately want to be part of ☺️
The storyline is fabulously engaging, with emotional swings coming from all directions as lots of action culminates in an epic ending.
And that epilogue…..I just can’t 🫣💔🥰
Highest recommendation for this series. 5* all the way

Riley Edwards did it again! Dangerous Hearts is book 6 in the TAKEBACK series and this time is Davis and Jane’s time to tell their story.
Jane is the sister of Zeus, president of Horsemen MC. She is the daughter of Satan and she is on the run, trying to get as far as possible from her brother, her father and the lifestyle of the MC.
The Takeback team is working hard to take down the Horsemen and Davis has a mission. To find Jane. Well, he does find her and he offers to marry her to keep her safe. Wait. What? Davis has fallen for Jane almost instantly, now they are in a fake marriage and he has no intentions of letting her go.
Jane has never been loved and although she knows who exactly her brother has become, she still holds on to the memory of the boy once protected her. Davis is an unexpected breath of fresh air. Well, an intense, alpha male, protective breath of fresh air but still.
I love those two together, they both deserve an HEA and I’m always thrilled to read more about the other characters from the previous books in the series. Letty with her bookstore and the girl gang talking books and not only, Wilson, Mrs S…
“You can love a memory but not love the person attached to the memory”.
Already looking forward to Wilson’s story....

I absolutely love Davis and Jane's story. Jane is on the run from a man who should love her the most, Satan, he father. Satan is a well known leader of an MC and he needs his daughter for the cash she's worth. Jane was on the run and needed help to get out of this situation but who can she depend on, her brother Zeus? Zeus was the one person Jane could depend on but that changed when the hatred he had for his life bled from his veins and heart and he somewhat took that out on his sister. His motto was the only way out of his life was by death and he would make that happen any way possible but he would make sure Jane was okay even if she didn't understand it.
Davis saw Jane and instantly knew what he wanted and came up with a plan to assure Satan would no longer want his daughter. Marriage is something that would turn him away from her especially knowing who Davis worked for. He knew what doing this would entail but he worked with the best and the worst, in his eyes, to make it happen. Davis knew what he did once the marriage was done. He had what his heart and soul needed and he would do anything to keep her safe but can he do it?
I loved this story and Davis has moved up to the top of my favorites of the takeback crew (for now)!

Once again, Riley has given another in the Takeback series where this band of brothers fight against human trafficking and fall in love hard with great women. I enjoy her books so very much, and Dangerous Hearts is no exception. Davis has tracked down Jane, the sister of the notorious Zeus, leader of the motorcycle gang that the Take Back team has been investigating since the beginning of the series. These are not the biker gangs of romance novels; these are ruthless men who use and abuse women and sell them for money. Jane is not only the sister of Zeus but also the daughter of Satan, who is an even more dangerous motorcycle gang leader. Jane has spent her adult life distancing herself from her harsh upbringing with a father who did not care for his child and a brother who gave up being her brother to prove he was just as tough as his father. Davis quickly learns much about Jane and proves he can be someone she can trust and love. Their story is exciting and ties up a large portion of the Takeback series, but we have still more to come, and it's going to prove to be quite interesting. Grab this exciting and alphalicious series now!

Davis & Jane
Omh! I love this series so very much!!
Davis is INTENSE. Like, he doesn't even give her a chance to say no to the plan. LOL
For her part, Jane seems to be full of pee & vinegar when they meet, but as he - and we - get to know her, her heart shows differently. I adore Jane! Her strength in being able to have the heart she does after everything she's been through is awesome.
I love the way their relationship begins, their banter, the way they get to know each other & can read each other, the way they communicate... all of it! The way they each light up for the other is just great to read.
We get A LOT of continuing stories / updates on our other couples & characters. Jane is pulled right into the fold, giving her friendships she's never had. She fits right in, though! 💜
The suspense is intense, too - not because of the actual storyline itself, but the emotions involved.
I love love, love these two, and the tease for the next couple... oooh!!!
😍😍😍😍

November 3, 2023Well well well well well Davis you sure surprised me.
Talk about Alpha male. Davis was all yummies. He knows what he wants and what he wants is Jane. Even if Jane’s wants nothing to do with him, oh so she says.
🥰🥰🥰I’m just nervous. Sheesh, do you have to know my every thought? “When you’re nervous, scared, or unsure, yes I need to know your every thought. When you’re happy, excited, feeling good, yes I want to know that, too. The first so I can find a way to help you. The second so I can figure out how to keep doing whatever it is that’s making you feel those things so I can continue to do them.”🥹🥹
Loved everything about this book. It had good plot, LOL moment, some danger, some emotional moment and of course spice. I found the spice to be different (good different) Almost better then previous Riley Edwards book. Or maybe it was just Davis 🥰
Jane was fighting though but all she wanted to do was let her guard down and trust someone. But that isn’t easy with the life she had. Of course that doesn’t stop Davis 😉

I've been a Riley Edwards fan for a long time and have been reading this series since the beginning. Davis Wright has been sent to Hawaii to retrieve and protect a woman on the run. Jane Morgan has been living under the radar for years. Her father is president of one of the worst MC clubs in the country and her brother has followed in his footsteps with his own MC club. Jane has never wanted a part of this life and has tried to live as quietly under the radar as possible until her father decided that he wanted to trade her and her brother helped her go on the run. Davis plans to keep her safe and arrest her brother but had no idea how twisted her family tree ran. As these two loners get to know each other better a relationship blooms. What starts off as fake will become something more if Davis can keep Jane safe. Dangerous Hearts is mostly an emotional story. The characters in this series are mid thirties and older so no YA angst. There isn't much suspense in this book but it was well written. It was told from dual POV and has plenty of heat so be prepared!

'Sometimes you shock me in ways that rip my heart out'
Davis is completely upfront, he hides nothing from Jane, including the way her childhood and her confessions destroy him and fray his control. If I am honest, both their stories destroy me, children should never have to live that way or have those experiences, but the adults they have become, the challenges they have overcome fill your heart. I really like that Jane brings Davis to his knees, she steals his control and makes his protector not just growl but roar as he shows her just how loved and wanted she is.
I love the TAKEBACK team and everything they stand for, the women soften the rough edges but have enough sass and fire to stand up to their men too.
Unusually this book had a few typos: is instead of in, protect instead of protest (I am guessing), I have never known this in a Riley Edwards book so it was a little disappointing, but it won't stop me reading future books.

How is it that each and every Riley Edwards books is a 5 star, knock my socks off read? As much as I’ve loved the previous couple/characters, she someone makes me fall even more in love with the current on(s).
Davis has every reason to be dismissive and stand-offish with Jane, sister of Zeus, a total really bad dude. Surprisingly, he attracted, not afraid to act on it, and sexily (and often brutally when it comes to Jane’s unfortunate family ties) honest. Jane is a enigma wrapped in a mystery. While introverted and very much a loner, she’s not afraid to lash out at Davis, while also revealing a shy side.
These two are as sweet as they are hot! Every time Davis calls her baby, I swooned. I’m wondering if it’s too late to train my hubby to call me baby as well, lol. Filled with much beloved and familiar faces, Dangerous Hearts was my latest favorite book by Ms. Edwards. Can’t wait until the next man falls!

This is book 6 in the Takeback series. It follows Jane, the sister of Zeus and the daughter of Satan. She is on the run from Satan. He has offered her up for payment of a debt that he has incurred. She called Takeback for help but then disappeared before they could call her back. Davis was sent to track her down. He finally catches up with her in Hawaii. She has not only changed her name but her appearance as well. To save her from Satan Davis decides to “fake” marry her. After they get away from one on Satan’s henchmen they go on their “fake” honeymoon, then he takes her back to Idaho. Of course, when she meets up the other guys ladies from the team they take her in. Davis and Jane decide to not get a divorce from their “fake” marriage. This is the first time in her life that she has felt like a part of a family and had actual friends. This is something that she did not have being raised in a motorcycle club. Such a good story and a definite read.

Dangerous Hearts was such a good book!
Riley just has a way of capturing your attention from the first page.
This was one emotional, heartbreaking book.
Jane called Takeback for help, and when they are busy she goes on the run.
She has not had an easy life, her brother and father are both criminals and she does not trust anyone.
Davis is sent to find Jane, and he promises to keep her safe. Jane is not who he thinks she is. Jane is feisty and smart and is not apart of her families lives.
Jane & Davis have amazing chemistry, and awesome banter between the two of them.
They get married so Davis & Takeback can keep Jane safe. But neither of them can fight the feelings and love they have for one another.
This was such an awesome read, full of suspense, romance and awesome characters. I could NOT put it down.
I can't wait for more!

Great book
This now my favorite book in this series (so far). I really enjoyed watching Davis and Jane fall in love with each other. They had a rocky start in the beginning that quickly accelerated into something much more. Jane’s upbringing by her biker king father was a difficult life. Her brother protected her but unfortunately, later followed in their father’s path of illegal activities. Davis and the group hates her brother but he quickly learns that Jane is nothing like them. He is so sweet to her and does such a good job showing her what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a loving man. She’s no slouch and can hold her own against him. There are several sweet moments between them and the plot has enough action and intrigue to keep me riveted. I can see me reading this book again and recommend this book and series.

Dangerous Hearts is a fantastic read! Riley Edwards never disappoints! Who doesn’t cheer for the shy girl to get a hunk? Jane is withdrawn from life and stays hidden. Her going on the run has Davis Wright going in search of her. When he finds her she’s nothing like he imagined. She’s scared but still feisty and he is drawn to her. He even fake marries her to keep her safe when her biker sperm donor wants to sell her to settle a debt. Davis got more than a fake marriage and he wants to take the fake out of it. I love the way he offers unconditional love and builds trust with Jane. She finally realizes she deserves a full life with Davis and friends but danger still lurks. This book is emotional so you may need tissues, it is also full of friends, steamy scenes and love.

Jane Morgan was at the end of her rope. Running from her father and trying not to be indebted to a brother that was just as bad, had her at her wits end.
Finding out Jane was the daughter of the President of not only an outlaw MC, but the notorious club that everyone steered clear of Davis knows it is going to take more than their usual methods to keep her safe. Well then a fake marriage it is… or is it?
Keeping up the pretense gets easier when they get to know each other and after a while they wonder if they are still pretending. And will they figure it out before Jane gets caught up in her family’s troubles again.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Book 6 of the Takeback Series by Riley Edwards!
Tropes:
• Fake wedding
• Bikers
• Alpha male
• Forced Proximity
Another amazing story and I have no idea how Riley does this every time but I can’t stop listening to her books and find myself doing a relisten to most of them instead of something new!
Jane is shy and stays hidden to everyone around her and when people get close, she bolts! Being rejected by so many people growing up, she trusts no one not even the MC she is in.
Davis finds himself chasing after Jane knowing she is involved in the mess her brother is doing and wanting to stop all of them, little did he actually know her!
Not ready to give up, he stays and determined to keep everyone away from her, even with wedding bells!

Overcoming hardships
Jane and Davis. Picking up from the previous book we see the issues with the Horsemen coming to a head, but via action towards a sister of the MC President. Jane and Davis do not have a cute meeting or first kiss, but their view of honesty and attraction make for a lasting impression and start to their HeA. The danger is predictable and the ending was somewhat expected, but the emotion and conversations with couples and friends enjoyable. Mrs. S continues to be my favorite and the discussion of other authors and both men and women loving all types of books is a blast. The ending with Wilson has me intrigued and I hope Butch/Beck gets his own story down the road!

Davis & Corrine/Jane
Up until his book, we didn’t really get to know Davis, he had a few lines of dialogue in the previous books, but there wasn’t much info about his personality, so going into this book I felt like I knew nothing about him. It took me a minute to warm up to him, but you discover that he is the sweet and quiet type.
Jane annoyed me at first, she was standoffish and irritating and for the sister and daughter of MC presidents, she was kind of street dumb. How she made it as far as she did before Davis caught up with her, I’ll never know. But she did grow on me once she started letting Davis in and stopped fighting Takeback’s help.
I was a little disappointed in how things went with Zeus, I thought there could have been more to him than the villain.

Another amazing installment in the Takeback Series. Every time I think these books can’t possibly keep getting better, Riley Edwards says, Hold my Beer. I don’t know how she can keep coming up with new plot after new plot this many books in but you best believe I will be here ready to snap up each one as it releases. Davis is a known member of Takeback. Jane is the elusive sister of Zeus, the MC enemy of Takeback. But even the men of Takeback can’t imagine what Jane has been through and why she is running. Filled with all the action, passion, and excitement that we have come to know and love from Riley Edwards, you won’t want to miss Dangerous Hearts!
