When I left Long Beach ten years ago, I vowed to never return.
I left all my bad memories and regrets behind me.
Kept my head low and became a nomad.
Now, I’m the one who has been chosen to raise this charter out of the gutter.
To repair all the damage their former President made.
And try to salvage the club's reputation.
Severed ties need fixing.
Old scores need settling.
And I need to learn which brothers I can trust.
The last thing I need is a distraction
Especially one as innocent and pretty as she is.
She’s young
She’s optimistic
She’s everything I ain’t
But when the past she’s trying to run from catches up with her,
I’ll live up to my name and RAZE hell to protect her.

4.5 stars
Ms. Creed is introducing a new series, a new MC chapter, and everything we have come to love about her books.
Raze is setting the scene for this new chapter of the Dirty Souls crew and provides us with just enough of his back story to get my interest quickly. Raze is returning to Long Beach to clean up a mess left by the previous Prez. Payton is running and it is her father who recommends the Dirty Souls for her safety.
This book is a page turner; I laughed, enjoyed the twists, plenty of action, and drama. Secrets, SO many secrets. She needs help and he needs redemption, and together they find themselves needing each other.
I feel another great series is coming our way, grab this book and get started.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Incredible Beginning of a New Charter
I have loved the Lost Souls MC and now Ms. Creed begins a new charter in Long Beach with Raze in to do clean up after the last president left things in a mess. Ten years as a nomad and now the Prez is quite a change. Peyton is on the run but she has secrets of her own.
Together, Raze and Peyton took me on a crazy roller-coaster ride that made this a book I won’t soon forget. This was an amazing dark and dirty MC read with that has left me wanting for me.

Not really sure what I felt when I started reading this book. In one hand, I was returning to a world whose last book had left me with a bitter sweet taste in my mouth, and in the other hand, I knew most of the characters would need introduction. Proper introduction, that is. The story itself was enjoyable, it was good to know Raze a little better - okay, a lot better - although I never felt him as someone in his forties... Don't know why, I thought him to be younger. Anyhow, the story was fast paced, and it left me thinking: what kind of victim of sexual abuse wants to have sex with her rapist laying dead nearby? The one that is getting a new grip in her life, clearly. Can't wait to read the next ones.

Great story!!
This is the first book in a new series and this is Raze and Peyton's story.
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, loyalty, heartbreak, challenges, intrigue, suspense, danger, humour, witty banter, unconditional love, and leads to an entertaining, haunting, twisted, unpredictable, and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fantastic start to the Long Beach chapter of the Lost Souls. This comes with gritty Bikers, so many twists and turns, action, suspense, and plenty of spice. I love the progression Raze makes as Prez with the support of Peyton. So eager for more Lost Souls.

I’m a fan of the Dirty Souls universe but this was a no for me and the first one I haven’t enjoyed. I didn’t like the h. She came across as immature and one dimensional and how she came to be at the clubhouse was particularly random. I didn’t get the connection between them. I will continue with the series but this was almost a DNF.

After ten years of riding along the road you’re bound to hit a few bumps and take a few turns that you didn’t expect…now the call came and you’re headed home.
But, what has become of the charter that you were forced to leave?
And, how will YOU bring it back from the hellhole that it’s become?
Jimmy Carson knew that Raze was the only man for the role…
I gotta question myself on what the hell I’m doing back here.
Raze has a lot on his shoulders now that he’s taking over the Long Beach Dirty Souls and even as he rides into town he can already see the difference. What doesn’t help is a pretty doll knocking over his pride and joy…But, events see that fate will intervene with Raze being introduced to Peyton.
Peyton is a young woman with big eyes taking in everything around her and clearly stands out in this MC charter. With nowhere else left to go, Raze can’t see her out lost in her rundown car and can see the broken edges she’s covering up.
The only thing is though, Peyton is getting under his oiled bloody skin and suddenly the protectiveness is turning into something more.
“I’m very dangerous, which is why you shouldn’t be here.”
“And yet here I am, with you, feeling real safe.”
Getting this charter back on track is high on Raze’s to-do list…yet so is succumbing to this temptress that is shining soo bright in his normal grey life. But, not all that glitters is gold and some demons are determined to drag you back into your nightmares.
With a rival MC hot on their tail causing trouble and unease within the Long Beach charter, can the new prez handle wearing the badge?
Or, will it be covered with not only his blood…but Peyton’s?
“Darlin’, I ain’t nobody’s hero.”
I’m very excited to start a whole new ride to Long Beach!!
We’ve always known that Long Beach MC was the almost the black sheep of the family within the Dirty Souls. The rumours of what they all got up to, the swimming pool-no water just blood staining the chipped tiles and their club girls were certainly not in a wholesome group chat!
This really was all set up nicely with the knowledge that Jimmy Carson, the legend that this man is, had everything in hand and knew that Raze could be the man to turn it all around. I loved how everything has been leading to this series, the groundwork has been built up and now this still feels like a whole new story with exciting new characters to meet!
Raze & Peyton were a couple that you wouldn’t have put together normally, but in this story and given their pasts they fall together perfectly. They form a fast bond with Raze struggling with his feelings but, you understand this with the pressure of his own with reforming the broken charter.
I can not wait to meet more characters from this charter and we all know that the ladies who will be riding behind them will rock their world!
I’m starting to learn that with her there’s no boundary of intimacy I won’t cross. I’d break my own damn rules just to be that little bit closer to her.

(prepare for a rant of all my thoughts)
i’m gonna start by saying i love Emma Creed and her books and i love the dirty souls so much! i will say however i was a bit disappointed in this book. maybe it’s just personal preference but i didn’t really like the storyline of this book. one of my biggest dislikes was the big twist with Peyton’s brother Kane. i’ll admit i was not expecting it at all. but i’m a bit confused of the timeline of how her stepfather ended up being the one going to prison and leaving Peyton with her brother. and why on earth he thought that was a good idea? especially if he knew her brother was the one abusing her. how was not telling her helping her? just by trying to save her feelings? idk it just rubs me the wrong way that she never knew the truth. especially when she had a very close relationship with her brother and was bonded with him because she thought he also suffered from the same trauma.
i also feel like besides her past trauma Peyton’s character didn’t have any other substance. i think she did end up having a bit of growth and became a good match for Raze. again this may be a personal preference/opinion but i didn’t really like that her coping mechanism for her trauma was to have sex. i know that probably a very real thing for people who went though what she did coping by having good experiences of sex with someone you trust to erase the past. but i just didn’t really like that we read a scene of her literally being sexually assaulted by Sonny/James and then right after we have to read a sex scene between her and Raze. idk it just didn’t sit well with me. she also had like no reaction to everything that happened to her at the end. finding everything out about her brother was so shocking i feel like she should’ve had more of a reaction but again that was probably her way of coping by just avoiding thinking about it and not talking about it.
i still liked the book it was just not my favorite. i am very excited for the rest of the Long Beach series to come out and i will be reading them all! however i think nothing will ever beat the Colorado Dirty Souls!!
(this was a very badly written review i apologize i just had to try and rant my feelings)

Well, here we are in the long (ish) waited new series from Emma Creed.
This book contains adult content suitable for proper grown-ups!
This is the first in the Long Beach chapter of the dirty souls and we have met Raze, the male protagonist, in previous books in the Dirty Souls series. From those books we know that Raze is a reluctant appointment tp the President of the long beach chapter, he was convinced that he is the only man for the job. And he has his reasons, and as the book unfolds, we learn more about those reasons.
The Long beach chapter had been run by Cliff Adams who was in no way good for the MC, or the community of Long Beach, so Raze has a big challenge ahead. He really doesn’t need any further complications. But complications he has in the shape of Peyton.
Peyton and Raze briefly meet in a rather awkward manner, and that could have been their only encounter. Peyton is hiding from trouble, but when she calls her dad his advice, leads her back to Raze.
When Peytons past comes knocking unexpected twists had me on the edge of my seat. Now, can Raze and the members of his MC do what’s needed to keep Peyton safe? This and other questions can only be answered by reading this amazing book! Oh! What a devious mind Emma Creed has. There were surprises here which literally made my jaw drop and not just once!!
This opening book in what is sure to be a dramatic new series gives us an insight into the Long Beach chapter; it’s members, prosects, women and more. There are some characters who am very excited to discover more about in future books. And some I do hope will get their just desserts!
Raze is a great character, and I’m half in love with him myself, and as for Peyton, well she starts off sweet and needy but grows throughout this book to be a good match for him and I’m sure she and Raze will become stalwarts of future stories! I am excited to discover more!

A New Charter, A New Family, and All the Drama!
As Emma Creed finished up the Dirty Souls MC- Colorado Charter- I waited oh so (im)patiently for the new book for the new series to follow up with the Long Beach Charter. We’ve had little snippets of this charter from Emma’s Colorado Charter books, but now- we get to dig down deep into the depravity and drama that has been waiting for us!
Raze has been a nomad for a long time, but when Jimmer Carson from the Colorado Charter reaches out to him and requests that he come back to the Long Beach Charter as the new President- to clean it up and get it functional again- Raze knows that he’s walking into a nightmare. He just doesn’t realize how much of a nightmare it’s going to be from the start.
Peyton- sweet Peyton- has her own demons to battle, what with her past… nah, you’ll have to read the story to get that information. But she does stumble upon Raze, and they’re inexplicably drawn to one another. What they don’t realize is everything that’s going to unfold- not just to try to keep them apart, but also to try to destroy the Charter and the family that Raze is determined to build.
Emma keeps you guessing from the first few pages and, let me tell you, she knocked the wind out of me with the twists and turns that I was NOT expecting. I honestly wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the Long Beach Charter, but these new boys are already worming their way into my heart. I will always love my Colorado boys, but these Long Beach boys might just be the distraction I need after my book hangover! Highly recommend and can’t wait until the next one!

I’ve been so excited for this spin off by the author and a new Chapter of the Lost Souls MC. This book did not disappoint as an opener. I really recommend reading the original Lost Souls MC series (because it’s great), but it isn’t necessary to do so to enjoy this book and start of the spin off.
Raze has been a nomad for 10 years for his own reasons and secrets. He is very reluctant to be President of the Long Beach Chapter. Not only is the chapter a mess after the last President (and probably has snakes in the grass) but he simply doesn’t want to be President.
Peyton is in danger and on the run. Her father, from prison, tells her to seek sanctuary with the Lost Souls MC and that no one would look for her there. She’s had a traumatic past and doesn’t trust easily. She meets Raze in a not so great first meeting, before meeting him later on at the clubhouse.
Raze is a somewhat somber, gruff, tough, and smart man looking to clean up his club when he’s broadsides by the young, innocent, and in need of help Peyton. Peyton is a little too naive for my tastes. I get that she’s young, but sometimes it was bordering on dumb.
Overall, I liked the book a lot and it’s an awesome start for the chapter. I cannot wait till we have more stories for the other brothers.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.
Dirty Souls is a favorite MC series by Emma Creed. Now we are getting the Long Beach charter. In previous books about the Colorado charter, we learn how messed up this Long Beach group is. Raze is sent to shape up this group. In the admidst of all this, he needs to figure out who is loyal to the club and who still has allegiance with the outed Prez, Cliff.
Add Peyton to his troubles. She is on the run from Satan's Reapers. She is told to seek out the Souls, who could hide her. She meets Raze when she backs her car into his bike. Their chemistry is steamy but she is keeping her secrets from Raze.
This Long Beach group has the heart of the the orginal group. We get to step into their world. All of the things I love about the Dirty Souls are in Long Beach. The brothers are an interesting group and I am looking forward to getting to know them. These guys live in a morally area but their loyalty for each other always comes first. 'Whatever it Takes' is alive and well with Raze and club.

This Long Beach group has the heart of the the orginal group. We get to step into their world. All of the things I love about the Dirty Souls are in Long Beach. The brothers are an interesting group and I am looking forward to getting to know them. These guys live in a morally area but their loyalty for each other always comes first. 'Whatever it Takes' is alive and well with Raze and club.

This first book in the Dirty Souls MC, Long Beach Charter, is an incredible start to this new series! I laughed, cried, sat up as straight as possible in fear for certain characters, and thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Raze is one heck of a guy who I believe is perfect as the new president of the Long Beach Souls Club. It's a tough job, considering that rotter Cliff left it in such a disastrous mess. The civilians don’t trust the club with good reason, so Raze has to gain their trust again.
Peyton is a young woman who literally bumps into Raze. She had a traumatic past but is quite levelheaded, considering everything she’s been through.
Peyton and Raze are so good together that even though he fights against their chemistry, it gets harder and harder. But 🤐 about anything else.
The intensity of this story makes you read as quickly as possible, I couldn’t put it down. There’s so much that happens, lots of drama and action. As usual, the romance is top-notch, and the twists in the story certainly come out of left field—great storytelling. Now, I’m looking forward to book two, especially after that ending!

What a start to the new chapter of the Dirty Souls series! Raze is definitely a contender for me as the “Daddy Thorne” of this series for me, because yeah he checks ALL the boxes. He literally rolls back into town setting down the new law, but he has an uphill battle that will be challenged by a few of his brothers. He runs into Peyton, or maybe SHE ran into him but there was no going back from their first meet-cute that wasn’t all that cute. She has some secrets that might get in the way of her having a lasting relationship with Raze. Oh, but make no mistake Raze has his fair share of secrets, too. While he’s being tested by some of his brothers she’s being tested by some of the women of the club, too. There’s one woman I really hope gets her just desserts before the end of this series. Peyton also has to deal with the skeletons in her closet which she finds aren’t even the right skeletons! Ms. Creed really knows how to throw some hella curve balls on us and I’m here for it all!!

Oh yes!!! Dirty Soul MC but in Long Beach.
Emma Creed brings us a new chapter with all new characters, enemies and storylines and I'm so here for it all!!
In Book 1 we get Raze and Peyton's story and what a story, what a ride, it was.
These two met when Peyton accidentally reverses into Raze's motorcycle.
And...
While they share a little spark neither is in a position to even think about it. Peyton is scared and on the run and Raze needs to settle in to his new role as club president.
But....
When Peyton brings around some 'apology' muffins it is evident Raze never stood a chance and we quickly see some 'touch her and die' vibes from Raze.
Then... from this point..... We get close proximity, OTT protectiveness, secrets, a little suspense, drama, tension, steam, shock twists, and of course some MC action. So really the perfect blend that I absolutely devoured!
I also love the hints of future stories! I mean Wrath!!! I need the story ASAP!
Bring on Book 2.

This author is new to me but I love the MC genre so I wasn't sure what to expect. This is one of the better written books of this genre that I have read. It took me by surprise. The story was well written and engaging, both main characters were layered and had evolved personalities. He is back in town for some redemption, she needs his help, he wants to keep her at arms length but they are drawn together. There is club drama, family drama, drama from both of their pasts, and the drama of finding their way, but they do find their way together and it does not disappoint. I immediately went to look for the next in this series but it doesn't come out until September. I am going to give one of her other series a go while I wait!.

Wow! Where do I start. I have read- & LOVED Emma’s Corrupt Cowboys series, but this was the first MC book I’ve read of hers. Now I want to read her others & I can’t wait for book 2 in the Dirty Soul MC Long Beach series!!
This book had me right f/the start & I couldn’t put it down. I loved everything f/the plot, to the characters & especially the big age gap between Raze & Peyton. I even got a quick out of “Sinner”, & I was laughing at how Peyton made Raze apologize to Reggie- her pet raven!
Raze was packed w/it all- angst, suspense, betrayal, love, loss & humor. There were moments I was smiling, laughing, wanting to shake sense into the characters to tell each other the truth, & a moment when I had tears in my eyes for a loss I totally wasn’t expecting.
I really enjoyed this book & definitely recommend it.

FANTASTIC read!!!!
WOW!!!!!!
What a way to start off this Chapter of the Dirty Souls MC series!!! Long Beach is going to be wild if this 1st book is any indication. Buckle up because this book goes 100 mph and doesn’t let up.
Raze and Peyton and the King and Queen of this chapter and it all starts with a basket of muffins. I absolutely love them together.
There is sooooooo much that happens in this book. The foundation is laid for the reclaiming and restructuring of this Chapter. A whole host of characters is introduced and we settle in with some of our old friends from previous series.
This book has it all - action, adventure, spicy good stuff, mystery, intrigue, love, loss and everything you think you have figured out will be all wrong. Fantastic start to the adventures we’ll go on with this group!!!

What a fantastic start to the Long Beach Charter of the Dirty Souls. I have lived the Souls for a long time and I'm so excited for this new chapter, especially when names I know and love keep popping up. This story was dark and dirty and so much MC fun.
I adore Raze. I love his broken bits and his determination to make Long Beach great. I loved his attempts to stay away from Peyton, but how he ultimately caved. And I love how he protected her and how he ended up saving her.
The twists in this story were fantastic. More than once I was flabbergasted and found myself wondering how I the heck I didn't catch on quicker. And then the end with the cliffhanger into book two, woof. I. Can't. Wait. Gimme gimme gimme.

Wow, I loved it! I have read other novel by this author and loved them. This novel did not disappoint. From the first chapter I was pulled head first into this novel and it held on tight until the very last page. Even them I did not want this novel to end. I loved the previous series and this novel I think is even better than the rest. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat reading the entire time. I could not put this novel down even If I stayed up late into the night to finish it. So worth losing sleep over. I loved Payton and Raze. Their chemistry was so good! I loved watching them come together and fall in love. I can't wait to see what is coming next from this author. So good!

This was the first in this series. This was about Peyton. She went to see her brother Kane at the Reaper clubhouse. Something happened and she had to do something that she didn’t want to have to do. Kane found her and gave her the keys to his truck and told her to leave and he would take care of it. So she did what he said. She left town and she found a town and went to a diner. This is where she met Raze who had just come back to town after being gone for 10 years. He met Peyton because she backed into his bike. She was panicking. He told her to leave because he saw something was about to go down at the diner. She did as he told her to do. She called her dad and he told her a safe place to go. She did as she was told. She became very close with the members of the club. So good.

Raze is here with the long beach charter and damn what a wild ride that was. Another brilliant edition.
I instantly loved him but that's not hard, I love every mmc Emma writes and fmc for that matter. She definitely knows how to weave a fly by the seat of your pants story.
Raze has been given the task of taking on the long beach charter after it's been left in the dirt.
Peyton is running with secrets of her own. I loved how feisty she was, she's the sunshine that he needs.
Raze is filled with death and the deadly destruction that I've come to love.
I could not put this down, I felt every single emotion right down to my core
Can't wait to see what's to come.

Raze left Long Beach years ago, Jimmer Carlson asks him to take over the charter as President, to clean up the damage Cliff has done to it. Peyton is on the run from a rival club, the Reapers, her father tells her the safest place for her is with the Dirty Souls. She first meets Raze when she hits his bike, she later shows up at the club. Raze tries fighting his attraction to Peyton, she is only twenty, but the man is fighting a losing battle. There is lots of action with the Reapers, plenty of hot action with the main characters. Some may find in triggering regarding past abuse.
This is a great start to the Long Beach charter, cannot wait for Wrath’s story.

What a start to this new Dirty Souls MC Series.
I was a bit apprehensive but excited at the same time, going into this book after the ending of previous series broke me. I need not have worried though, I was drawn straight into this brand new series. Loving every minute.
If you have been following the Dirty Souls on their journey through the pages, you will know Raze has his work cut out for him. Long Beach has been run into the ground with their previous President. Has Raze got what it takes to turn things around?
I adore the Dirty Souls MC and I’m so pleased we get more books about them.

Raze is the new president of the Long Beach chapter of the Dirty Souls. Peyton is on the run from her past. This is their love story. It’s a convoluted one, and not easy to read. The story is not Safe (due in part to SA and CSA) and it has some serious violence. If you can get past that, this is a good book. The hero and heroine both have uncomfortable pasts but when they come together it’s magic. Very steamy and quite romantic. I give this book a 4.5/5, taking the half point off because of the triggers.

New author to me, but expected it to be written in regular MC terms. It has great characters and storylines. There is a lot going in in and around the Dirty Souls MC individuals. There are several main characters, each being given their issues in addition to how the place within the club hierarchy. In the main, Raza and Peyton are fundamental to the whole, eith each dealing with demons of different kinds. Raze is struggling to bring order to the chaos within the club and meets opposition. Peyton settling in also facing different kind of opposition.. secrets and lies do not play out well.

Raze, a former nomad, is sent to Long Beach to resuscitate the failing MC chapter. It was run into the ground by a ruthless, corrupt president and members, and after their removal, Raze is there to rehabilitate his former chapter. Peyton is running from another club and her estranged father sends her to the Dirty Souls MC in Long Beach to help her. There is instant chemistry, but a rather big age gap. This book has great characters and, a well-paced storyline. Full of sizzle, steam, action, drama, and more, this is a great read.

Emma Creed you have done it again. You made me fall in love with a new charter of the Dirty Souls MC when I vowed I would never love another charter other than our original Dirty Souls in Colorado. I loved Raze and Peyton. Their story was raw and brutal and it had me in knots throughout but there was no way I was going to put this book down for a minute. I was so hooked and it was great to know a little of the back history as to why this charter was in such a mess. I know I am going to be hooked on all these characters, already a few have spiked my interest and I cannot wait to read more in this fabulous new series. Well done Emma Creed on another great success.
