What I liked- I liked this book, particularly the characters. That was the book’s greatest strength. And I loved that the book checked in with the women from the previous books in the series.

What I didn’t- there wasn’t much plot, really. Good playlist, though.

Hammer knows from the first time he lays eyes on Francesca, she’s the woman for him. But her hidden secrets threaten their newfound love. Can Hammer protect her while giving her his heart or will she flee? Hammer is an unforgettable dark MC romance. I have read all the books in this series, and I think this might be my favorite couple. The romance is hero falls first which is quickly becoming my favorite trope. The family of this motorcycle club is so supportive and welcoming. The emotional narration is deep with plenty of tension. Are you hooked yet?

Let’s start with the characters. Like I already mentioned, I fell hard for Hammer. He’s a likable hero with charm and personality. He doesn’t have many skeletons or a dark past which is a refreshing change for this series. His protective nature towards Francesca gave me all the squishy feelings. He’s not an alpha with cockiness but instead he allows Francesca to be her beautiful self.

The romance is written with an expert pen, like all of AG Kirkham’s books. She writes stories that are addictive to read with characters that are realistic and relatable. I’m able to fall in love right along with the characters.

If you’re looking for an emotional dark MC romance that’ll melt your heart, pick up this book. Another gem by this author and one I recommend to all romance readers.

My Rating: 5+ stars

Hammer & Frankie

When a beautiful new woman moves into the house within eyes view of Hammers room at the club, his interest is immediately peaked.

When Risk, who has been doing the renovation on the home for Frankie, and Sofia who is Frankie’s attorney head over to visit her, Risk invites Hammer along.

Upon meeting Frankie, Hammer is struck by the beautiful and exquisite woman. Hearing her English accent and how much she dislikes all the unpacking, Hammer offers to lug boxes for her. Frankie agrees and they begin the friendship.

Hammer discovers why Frankie left the UK and vows to do what he can to make her feel safe in her new home as well as help her with the issue that caused her hasty leave.

Frankie finds not only a friend, but a man who can be trusted in Hammer and falls fast for his protectiveness and charm. The sparks fly and she finds herself falling deeply not only for Hammer but the lady pride.

When her past begins to encroach, she’s ready to run again. But can she run from love?

A fun, steamy and always great story from author AG Kirkham.

If you are a fan you are gonna love the ride in the Satan’s Pride Series.

If you’re a new reader, you are absolutely going to fall in love with her style of writing and her books.

I highly recommend this book!

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. Compared to the earlier books in the series, this one had less danger and suspense but the emotions still packed a punch. Hammer has gone through his own demons, adjusting back to civilian life after his tour of duty and grappling with the leftover guilt and accepting that things happen for a reason. He sees Francesca (Frankie) and knows that she is fighting her own demons and vows to be at her side, to help her find her peace and happiness again. Whilst there is an element of insta attraction, they do take the time to get to know each other so you see their relationship grow as they find their HEA. Was very happy to see the cross over characters from the mafia series and Hawk from the Redemption Riders and it seems like there is going to be exciting times ahead for Hawk so can't wait!

Francesca leaves England to escape the scandal her ex step father left her with, even though she was exonerated from all dealings, her families company suffered but with her giving control to her CEO and taking a back seat it’s recovering.
When Hammer first sees the new neighbour he knows he wants to get to know her better, luckily Sophia is Francesca’s new lawyer and needs to speak to her so he and Risk tag along on the premise of Risk making sure all the contracting work they’d done was ok and he offers his help with all her boxes, as the days pass they get closer and she opens up to the reason why she left England and he vows to help

Loved this story and can’t wait to see more of the Satan’s Pride.

This MC has the sweetest, most protective and family oriented members around. They are devoted to their one and the MC family accepts them into the fold with love and care. Francesca came to town for peace and tranquility. The last few years of her life have been a dumpster fire of epic proportions. She hesitates to get close to the MC even with the Lady Pride welcoming her with open arms. She is worried if she takes a chance on Hammer and the MC that her past will be too much for them to take. Fortunately, she shares her past with him early on and he immediately makes a plan to make things right. Hammer is a perfect example of what a good man is. He doesn't hold back his feelings or intentions with Frankie and she quickly gives him her trust. Love this series sooooo much!

Book 13 of Satan's Pride did not disappoint. Hammer finally finds love. Francesca, Frankie, moves into a home next door to the Pride's compound. She's escaping a complicated life and bad press. Trying to start over again she finds family and love from Hammer, the Lady Pride, and all the men of the Pride. I've read each installment in this series. The author continues to get better. Not only does she bring us a story, but she brings us emotion too. Characters who once were "lost" have now found family with the Pride. A family we all want to be a part of.

Another great story of the men of Satan's Pride who protect and right the wrong done to their women.
Hammer and Francesca, or "Frankie" as Hammer has nick named her. Hammer falls as soon as he sees Frankie and is determined to find out and correct whatever make her move to the other side of the world. They along with the Lady Pride show Frankie what it's like to be accepted and have a real family. Good story line, a little spice. Characters from other books but can be read as a stand alone. This author always tell a great story. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Hammer and Francesca's story is a steamy, good read, full of likable characters. She's hiding out from the press (and everyone else) in Satan's Pride's neighborhood, thanks to her no good stepfather. One look is all it takes for Hammer to be hit by Cupid's arrow, with Francesca not far behind. There's not a lot of drama even when Hammer and company set a trap for the villain. It's all pretty tame. This is really just a good old love story about a big, protective alpha male who will stop at nothing to right the wrong done to his lady. This is an enjoyable read in a great series.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I absolutely love the men and women of Satan's Pride. They are not 1%ers, but also won't back down to protect the ones they love. As soon as Hammer sees Frankie, he knows she is meant for him and wants what his MC brothers have found. However, Frankie has been burned before in standing by the wrong person and has left her life in England behind to escape the media and judgemental people. This is another great story of the Pride banding together to help Frankie feel safe and incorporate her into the family.

[GKP2460 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hammer is the newest, fantastic addition to the Pride and is Hammer and Francesca's story. Again this author pulls her readers in and makes us quite at home with these great characters and consuming storyline. Francesca has worries that are quickly put to rest once she confides in Hammer. He's a no holds barred protector of those he cares about and he makes it clear just where Francesca fits in. This series just keeps getting better!

I give this entry into the Satan's Pride series 4.5 stars

The whole Pride was mentioned throughout the book, but the main focus was on Hammer and the new neighbor, Francesca Deleigh. She reminded me a bit of Hanna and her struggles with confidence. But the Prides are eager to stand by her when Hammer stakes his claim. Nice addition to the series with wonderful characters and a drama filled story.

I really enjoyed this book. I have not read a motorcycle club romance in a while and I may need to make it a point to read the others in the Satan's Pride series. Francesca and Hammer's story is fairytale esque. I always love some turmoil, makes the HEA all the more sweet. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy alpha male "mine" mentality in your male lead and strong but broken in your female.

Frankie had moved next door to the Prides compound getting away from the upheaval her step father had left her with the company she ran. Hammer is instantly drawn to her, and when she opens up about her troubles he vows to be there to protect her and be by her side. Well written steamy desires, drama, and more, you'll swoon for Hammer and his love for Frankie. A great addition to the series

This is the thirteenth book in the Satan’s Pride MC series. I enjoyed Hammer and Frankie’s love story. I loved that he was there for her in her time of trouble. It’s a steamy story with drama and spice. A very good read.
