He lost four years of his life. Now he’s back with vengeance on his mind.
Blade Four years ago, I was convicted of killing my own brother. I didn’t do it, but I sure as hell know who did. Now that I’m free, I’ll stop at nothing to avenge him. My plans begin with a beautiful, curvy blonde with blue eyes. Olivia Davis. She claims to be innocent. The blood running through her veins makes her guilty. She’s the key to taking down the Feral Kings MC and that’s really all that matters. Nothing can save her, least of all me.
Olivia Blade Aetos is the type of man that women dream of. He’s the answer to every prayer I’ve whispered. I can’t believe it when he tells me he loves me. He puts a ring on my finger, but too soon I realize my new husband is just a fantasy. He doesn’t have a heart. The real Blade Aetos is a monster.
I'm just a simple small town country girl, haunted by Alpha Men who talk in my head 24 hours a day.
I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them.
Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people.
Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there.
Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books.
Secrets, lies and betrayal lie at the heart of this one but a little more complicated than that too😳
Blade is Bear’s brother but also the Club’s lawyer. For appearances, they’ve agreed to keep his “image” clean for the project they are working on. At the beginning before the project gets off the ground, Bear introduces Blade to Olivia aka Livy.
What a fantastic read and I’m sitting here cursing Jordan for that ending…I need the next book STAT🙈 I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review💔
This is the first in a new duet, and this is Blade and Olivia’s story. Blade is Bear’s brother, and is a lawyer, who is going to help the club with their casino, and then reclaim his VP seat. Bear introduces Livy to Blade, and he is instantly attracted. This story ends in a doozy of a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the conclusion! This is a well written easy to read, action packed, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, secrets, lies, betrayal, heartbreak, vengeance, trust, humour, witty banter, challenges, complex storyline, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, haunting, twisted, and unpredictable, addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
As soon as this book hit my kindle i had to stay up to read it. I absolutley love this authors duets. She always destroys me in the best possible way.
After reading this one i am a little bit broken, the characters of Bear, Blade and Olivia completey consumed me.
Their story is interwoven beautifully, it's full of secrets, lies, pain and heartache. These characters have a raw and complicated history, loyalty is key, some secrets are meant to stay hidden because the truth could destroy everything.
My heart, i swear it skipped a beat a few times during this book. My head and my heart were in a constant battle and they still are.
That Cliffy 👏👌You are Evil, but so so good at it. You've left me a frustrated, tormented nervous wreck until the next book, a job well done. Thank you. 😂
Wow, what a great start to this duet. This book will keep your interest and leave you wanting more. It gives you the backstory of what happened with Blade, Livy, and Bear that we briefly heard a little bit in one of Jordan‘s previous books. I highly recommend this book. This book had secrets, lies, twists. But keep in mind it ends in a cliffhanger, which will make you wanting to throw your book, tablet or iPad. Now, when is the next one coming out?
Jordan Marie starts the SOMC Cherokee, North Carolina with a bang! I can't wait to see where she takes these characters. Olivia is someone who doubts her worth and doesn't know how strong she really is. Blade and Bear are brothers in the MC and in blood their bonds are gonna be tested. highly recommend this book!
What I liked: I loved how Olivia(h) didn’t let what she went through define her. I loved how Blade(H) was all in with Olivia and took his time with her.
What I didn’t like: That we have to wait for the rest….cliffhangers make me crazy LOL
***Major Spoilers/ Details/Triggers/Tropes: h was physically abused and sexually assaulted, H keeps secrets, h also keeps secrets. H is a lawyer helping his brother with a deal that will help the people and the club. H sees the h and right away knows he wants to get to know her. The H’s brother tells him that the h is good girl and doesn’t want anything to do with the MC. H and his brother decide to keep that H is the VP of the MC and that the president is his brother a secret. H and h start talking and h decides to give the relationship a chance. h doesn’t tell the H that she and the H’s brother have a past. The brother also keeps that information from the H. h also doesn’t tell the H that her brother is the president of a different MC and he is evil (her brother was the one that almost killed the H’s brother). At the end, the h’s brother found out about her being with the H. He demands her to come to the garage. She goes when she sees that her brother has the H’s brother… to be continued
Final thoughts: I can’t wait to see how this is going to go, especially when all the secrets come out. Hopefully the evil brother gets what he deserves slowly and painfully!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The first book in a brand-new duet delivers Blade and Olivia’s story with all the intensity, grit, and emotional punch fans expect from Jordan Marie. From the start, the stakes are high—Blade and his brother Bear are devising a plan to build a casino while hiding their connection. With Blade poised to reclaim his role as VP once the deal is approved, the last thing he expects is to be blindsided by an introduction to Olivia… and the instant attraction he feels.
What follows is an adrenaline-laced ride filled with explosive chemistry and heart-pounding tension. It masterfully blends action, romance, and raw emotion, bringing readers on a journey of secrets, lies, betrayal and heartbreak.
Blade and Olivia’s connection is undeniable—fiery, consuming, and charged with the kind of intensity that makes every scene between them crackle. As the plot twists deepen, the book becomes an addictive page-turner that keeps you on the edge.
And then comes the cliffhanger—haunting, twisted, and perfectly timed. The kind of ending that leaves you staring at the final page, desperately anticipating the conclusion. Once again, Jordan Marie proves why she’s the reigning queen of duets: she knows exactly how to hook readers and leave them hungry for more.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
Yeah so that happened! Ummmm no why would you do this to me. Book 2 is just too far away to end the story like that please no fair! Ok well now that I have cried about not having the rest of their story yet, OMG how good are Blade and Olivia. Ok I have to admit their relationship is built on a house of cards that is going to cause a lot of damage when it falls (although it has already). Their meet cute, adore, Olivia's past trauma makes her unable to trust easily especially with certain things that happened before. Blade is playing a role, one he is very good at and has worked hard for, but in the end he just wants to take up his rightful role as VP of the Saints Outlaws, big problem with that is now he wants Olivia just as much but these 2 worlds are not going to mix well. Olivia cannot get on board with club life - gives her connections understandable but is Blade worth taking as risk. So good for each other but their entire foundation is built on secrets and I can only imagine how they are going to reveal themselves in book. Waiting patiently um not lol!😍❤️📖
This first book in the Saint’s Outlaws MC, Cherokee Chapter, is the story of Blade and Olivia’s relationship, of making choices and deciding whether to trust the other person. It is also the story of two rival MC clubs, betrayal, and revenge. Of hope and plans for the community and the native indigenous people.
Olivia has secrets that are so traumatic that revealing them would be extremely difficult. Blade is desperate for her to trust him enough to share her story. My heart went out to both of them, it was definitely not an easy situation for either of them. I really like these two as a couple as they shared an easy camaraderie as well as terrific chemistry.
There is plenty of action-packed drama where lies and deceit take centre stage. This first half of a duet really packs a punch and the old emotional roller coaster is in action as well. The ending is a cliffhanger that is a killer! Bring on the next book.
Blade and Bear are brothers, blood brothers, that is. Bear is the prez of the Saint's Outlaws MC Cherokee. Blade is the VP, but no one can know at least not right now. Blade is also a lawyer, and everyone can know that because he's helping the club get their casino off the ground. Bear introduces Blade to Olivia and let the hearts in the eyes begin. How is Blade going to keep his secret from Olivia? How is Olivia going to tell Blade her secrets? And trust me, hers are pretty bad compared to Blade's. This was such a good story about Blade and Olivia falling in love. Everything is going along, and then bam, there's the cliffhanger, and what a cliffhanger it is. Holy crap, now I have to wait for the next book, darn it. Thanks a lot, Jordan Marie. I absolutely recommend this book.
I couldn't put the story down, it's packed with so much, so many emotions, the plot was strong, the characters were as well, it's a 5 star must read. Blade & Livy and Bear, they will pull at your heart string, their journey wasn't easy, they were fighters though, fierce, but the journey is an emotional rollercoaster for sure. It's hard to talk about it without given too much away so the best I can suggest is to read it, it's a wonderful story, a tear jerker, I'm looking forward to reading more, I'd highly recommend reading this. Jordan Marie did a wonderful job on it, it was written well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful work Jordan Marie! Thank you ❤️
This was such an amazing story that kept me captivated from beginning to end! It really pulled at my heart also! So many secrets, lies, betrayal, guilt, suspense, love, and loyalty! This book just had it all. I absolutely loved how Blade took one look and just fell so hard! Olivia is one heck of a woman and just stole my heart! These two were fantastic together! So many amazing characters and a wonderful storyline! I couldn’t put this book down! That ending almost broke my heart! I’m sitting on pins and needles to see what’s coming next! Very highly recommend! This is my honest opinion of this complimentary copy of this book
Wow!! I’m completely speechless, this one left me praying for the next book like yesterday. Jordan Marie delivers an epic duet that will truly be unforgettable.
I really love Blade and Olivia together, but there’s so many secrets between them and all the main characters. I just hope they come out on the other end whole. This book really has it all , it’s a classic Jordan novel that delivers one hell of a punch at the end.
I’m counting the days for the next book! It can’t come soon enough ❤️
A new MC series for Jordan Marie. This series kicks off with a duet and book 1 will leave you wanting more. That cliffhanger, all I can say is I'm dying to read book 2.
Blade and Olivia's story seems to be off to a good start with instant attraction, thing is she doesn't know he's hiding things. While she's insanely attracted to him the lifestyle he's hiding is the one thing that could tear them apart, so Blade keeps it all hidden. When it all comes out in book 2 I imagine it's gonna be quite the page turner.
Wow, what a great start to this two parter.. This book will keep your interest from page one and it will leave you wanting more, especiallywith the way it ends. It gives you the backstory of what happened with Blade, Livy, and Bear, characters we've had a glimpse of in this authors other books. . I highly recommend this book. This book had secrets, lies, twists. But keep in mind it ends in a cliffhanger, and all the tension that comes with that. Now, when is the next one coming out?
A fabulous start to a new series and what a book this was! There was secrets, drama and a doozy of a love triangle that was very interesting and had a huge twist. Blade and Livy were such a beautiful couple but they both had their secrets and although it was a slow burn with their relationship you felt the passion with every word you read and how can you not dwell on that massive cliff hanger at the end? I’m still reeling and I cannot wait for the next book in this duet. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Blade & Olivia: triggers- illness, assault, kidnapping. not sure how I feel about this one. I totally wish the next book was out already because FRACKING CLIFFHANGERS.... and I got a bag feeling about this couple .. like maybe they aren't meant to be. I found Olivia a little annoying and a bit contradictory at certain points. I felt bad for Ayita, bear's girlfriend because she doesn't know what we all know but she suspects... and blade... well that's sure to blow up in his face. so...JM, HOW LONG WE GOTTA WAIT? I need the end to this story.
Blade and Livy have have all the components of an extremely complex story filled with secrets, lies, betrayal and unrequited love. Even with it being a duet and ending on a cliffhanger, it’s still an amazing first part. From the first page I was hooked and I will be waiting impatiently for part two to be released. I highly recommend you reading this book and I give it 5 stars even if it’s worth more, it’s the highest I can give. Happy reading ❣️
Blade's Return is book one of a duet in the Saint's Outlaws MC; Cherokee,NC written by the amazing author Jordan Marie. This is Blade and Olivia biker romance story. What a start for a new series from Jordan. The plot is fast pace, great characters ( LOVE BEAR ), full of emotions, secrets, lies, pain, deceit, and more. Remember it ends in a cliffhanger, which will make you want to punch someone ( not you Jordan ). This book was worth the wait, NO Spoilers! We need part 2 asap, PLEASE!!
Omg what a story - filled with love built on lies and deceit its a page turner, Blade is just perfect, apart from Liv does know who he really is, Liv is also hiding who she is, both have their reasons but JESUS i want to bang their heads together. as always steamy sex scenes that are written well and a story that flows - but come on what a cliff-hanger !!! please hurry with the next in the series
Jordan Marie did not disappoint with Blade’s story!
When Blade sets about to be the front man for the new casino he and his brother are securing, he doesn’t expect to hit the jackpot with Olivia Davis. One look and he’s all in. But she’s holding as many secrets as he is. And they might just cause his carefully orchestrated house of cards to fall.
The cliffhanger has me anxiously awaiting if these two go all in or will the impending circumstances cause them to fold.
What a story Jordan wrote and you need to read this series and any books Jordan writes. This story ends in a cliffhanger and can’t wait for the next book. Blade is the VP of the Saint’s and attorney plus his is Bear’s brother. Blade meets Livy at a meeting for a casinos that Saint’s plan on investing in for the town of Cherokee. This is an emotional roller coaster but a great story.
This was a fantastic start to a brand new MC series by the Queen of MC romance! Blade and Livy are both keeping a lot of secrets and telling each other half truths. You can’t help but cheer for these two to have their happy ending! This book is a duet so it does end on a cliffhanger! I cannot wait for the second book!!
This action packed love story is about Blade and Olivia. Blade meets Olivia and realizes she is the one for him. Bear, the MMC President, is Blade’s brother. Bear also has been looking out for Olivia. Both Blade and Olivia have secrets they need to tell each other. Can they both survive these secrets? And what a cliffhanger. Looking forward to the conclusion!
I dont know what i just read but I need more. Blade, Bear & Livy are all keeping secrets that just may destroy them and test their love and loyalty. This book had it all...love, lies, betrayal, loyalty, brotherhood...it had me on the edge of my seat. Now I'm not one for cliffhangers, but d*mn was a good one. Can't wait for next one. ❤️
Oh the secret drama going on in this book! I am loving the main couple but they have secrets from each other. I am reading and watching them fall then HOLY CRAP there is another secret that I didn't suspect. Jordan Marie writes books that hook me and don't let go. But this I was reading wide eyed. Then the jaw dropping ending book 2 is going to be explosive!!
Jordan Marie has me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Blade's Fall. This book has everything suspended to find out everyone's secrets. Bear and Blade brothers both of them keeping secrets from their women, two women caught in the middle of everyone's happiness. Mind blowing
The QUEEN of MC duets has done it again! What a ride this story is! And that ending! Ugh! Right in my heart. I’m a mess, woman! Love Bear, Olivia, & Blade’s stories. Such amazing character development! ♥️
This amazing new release from Jordan Marie pulls you in and refuses to let go! The twist I never expected left me in tears and wanting more! I cannot wait to read “Blade’s Fall.” Jordan Marie never, ever disappoints! 💜
I’m really not sure if I wanna praise Mrs.Jordan or cuss her. So much happened but also Blade and Olivia hid so much from each other. Bear is a whole mother story I really hope Aiya forgives them all. I really can’t imagine what’s gonna happen next without loosing my crap!
