Es gibt ein letztes Buch in der Lords-of-Carnage-Reihe.
Eine letzte Geschichte muss noch erzählt werden.
LILA
Ich bin keine Clubprinzessin.
Ich bin eher ein Aschenputtel für Arme. Nur das rothaarige Stiefkind.
Jude dagegen ist der Kronprinz des Lords of Carnage MC.
Gutaussehend, unverschämt und unerreichbar.
Schon seit ich ihn kenne, muss ich so tun, als bedeute er mir rein gar nichts.
Dabei ist er doch in Wirklichkeit alles, was ich jemals wollte.
Doch als meine Welt um mich herum zusammenbricht und ich um mein Leben fürchten muss, sind die Lords of Carnage meine einzige Anlaufstelle.
Ich weiß nicht, ob sie sich überhaupt an mich erinnern. Ich weiß nicht, was ich tun soll, falls sie mir nicht helfen wollen.
Als sich diese eisblauen Augen zum ersten Mal seit zwei Jahren wieder in meine bohren, wird mir klar, dass ich verloren bin.
Jude hat mich immer sofort durchschaut.
Und jetzt steht er kurz davor, all meine Geheimnisse aufzudecken.
Wenn ich ihm alles offenlege, wird er dann mein bestgehütetes Geheimnis entdecken?
Dass ich alles tun würde, um ihm zu gehören?
JUDE
Sie ist knallhart. Sorgt immer für Ärger.
Lila Dunn ist wie ein kampflustiger Drache.
Sie braucht niemanden. Unabhängiger geht es kaum.
Doch eines Tages taucht sie im Clubhaus auf,
übel zugerichtet und gebrochen.
Und plötzlich erwachsen.
Sie ist in Gefahr. Und nur der Club kann sie retten.
Als sie uns erzählt, was sie getan hat, schwören wir, sie zu beschützen.
Doch jetzt spüre ich, wie ich mich in sie verliebe, mit aller Macht.
Sie wird mir gehören. Ich muss es nur schaffen, sie am Leben zu halten.
Niemand legt sich mit Lila an. Und niemand legt sich mit den Lords an.
Denn mit den Lords ist nicht zu spaßen.

I loved Jude. It was amazing and a beautiful ending to the series. I can't wait to see what comes next.
Read
May 12, 2021I'm finished with writing Jude! I'm working on the final edits and formatting now. I'm so excited to get this book out to you -- but it's also bittersweet, since it's the last book in the series. I've also changed his release date to June 9! SO get ready -- here he comes!

Jude was the twelfth and final book in the Lords of Carnage MC by Daphne Loveling.
We met both Jude and Lila previously in Angel, book seven. Jude was Jewell’s younger brother and was seventeen when we met him. By the previous book, Striker, book eleven, Jude had grown into a young adult and was an MC Prospect.
Lila was thirteen when we met her but she had been gone for a few years, until now. It was her eighteenth birthday, she was in trouble and had no where to go. She had great memories with the Lords and hoped they would help her.
Although Jude can be read as a stand-alone, I enjoyed going back to Angel’s book to remember the two teens. It wasn’t necessary, but it was enjoyable.
Loveling took us through Lila’s current situation while briefly catching us up on the last few years. She then took us through a suspenseful plot with love, heartache and ultimately new beginnings. Loveling also briefly introduced The Vengeful Gods MC, a “Do Gooders” MC that may be positioned for a spin off. One can hope!
Ultimately, it was a quick read and I enjoyed catching up with the Lords and their families. It was sad to see the close of the series but Loveling also introduced us to the second generation, some of which were now almost grown, so hopefully we’ll get the Legacy series soon. Until then, the Ironwood Chapter of the Lords of Carnage is up next with book three, Iron Fist.

Ok, first off, the cover of this book is off the charts! Those eyes...wow! Now that that’s out of my system, on to the book...it’s amazing! Jude is so amazing! It’s hard to think back to the angry, hurt teenager dumped on his sister and now see the man he’s become...definitely some growing up! So glad Lila is who he ends up with, just glad to have her back. The childhoods both of them had are so miserable but they overcome their pasts. This book is a welcome addition to an already fabulous series. Exciting, sexy and heartbreaking...so worth the read! Thanks Ms. Loveling, you’ve done it again!

Jude is the last book in the Lords of Carnage series. It can be read as a SA, but it's highly recommended that you read at first at least Angel and Beast.
Jude is Jewel's brother and the club president's brother in law. But that doesn't mean that he had an easy entrance in LoC club. Quite the contrary, he was always tested. It wasn't until he risked his life to save someone that he finally proved worthy of the LoC cut.
Lila is Brooke's protege. She had a rough childhood so she spent so much time at Super Girls gym, where she was taken under Brooke's wing. We've seen glimpses of her at LoC's party and reunions. Even at their lockdowns. But after a few years she stopped going and put a wall between her and the MC.
It's been a few years that Lila and Jude didn't saw each other. But when Lila is forced to make a hard choice she has nowhere else to go but the club. They are happy to have her back there despite the circumstances. When Jude is assigned with her protection, their friendship is renewed. And soon, other feelings emerge. They open up to each other in the way they never opened up to anyone. When jude's past comes knocking at the door, lila is the only one who understands him.
I sympathized so much with Lila, maybe because i have so much in common with her. We both hate being seen as weak or revealing our feelings because people would use that to hurt you. We both hate to be burdens and often push aside people who sincerely care for us out of fear that they won't love us once they get to know us.
Jude has got a long way since the annoying teenager that we saw in Angel. Becoming a part of the club, spending time with his sister's family changed that angry teenager into a reliable, confident sweet man.
Their love comes so natural, so easy. Despite both of them having traumas from the past, they are both eager to embrace their feelings and see where the road takes them. They are so sweet together.
This book was the perfect ending for LoC. We got to see everyone and got to say goodbye to their characters in a nice way ( altough, fingers crossed for second generation cause i'm dying for Faith's book).
I received an ARC for an honest review.

I was an ARC Reviewer for the author.
This was the final book of the Lords of Carnage MC Series, it was a great book about Jude and Lila, pulling in both past and present. It was hard to stay with the past but it gave you alot of information as to how Lila became involved with the LOC MC and after an situation happens that involves Lila and her step dad's corrupt criminal friends she ends up needing LOC MC to help her again and keep her safe. This in turn caused her to get reacquainted with Jude a member of the LOC MC as well as being protected by LOC MC (Beast and his wife Brooke) who Lila had known since she was a young child. It was a great book, one of those books that keep you never wanting to set the book down. I am sad to see this series go, but am hoping that Daphne Loveling may do some sort of spin-off perhaps with Lila's father who she learns is still alive lives in another state and has his own MC. To find out the rest of this story, you should definitely purchase this book and if you have not read her other LOC MC books buy them all you won't be disappointed!

Watching these main characters grow up then overcome adversity to achieve their happy ending was wonderful. If you haven't read the Lords of Carnage you better start now

Wow, another amazing story. I could not wait to read Judes book, I wish this wasn't the last in LOC books. Jude and Lila are truly one of my favorites, great chemistry. I will not post spoilers but this one you don't want to miss.. If you haven't read any of the previous books your missing out. A must read.

Jude: Lords of Carnage MC by Daphne Loveling is full of drama, suspense, action and plenty of steamy moments, which is bittersweet as this is the end of an outstanding series.
Jude and Lila's romance was full of passion, danger and intrigue. Jude's life was not easy as he was always in trouble until his sister Jewel helped brings him into the LOC when she married Angel, President of the club. Jude is this sexy cocky alpha biker who had to prove himself to be accepted into the club, but when he saved a club member he became worthy of earning his cut. Lila had no one in her life, no mother, an absent father and an Aunt who wanted nothing to do leaving her in the hands of her evil step-father when she left Tanner Springs as he used her to handle his deals with the Syndicate. When a delivery goes bad, Lila's life is in danger when she learns she is part of the payment, this feisty young woman takes matters into her own hands when she was severely beaten from being sexually assaulted. Now she is on the run from her Uncle and the Syndicate, knowing her life is in danger, she returns to the Lords of Carnage MC clubhouse, bloody and in pain asking for help when she falls into the arms of Jude, the one person who she had feelings for and is able to see right through her. Even though Jude hasn't seen Lila in years, one look at her he finds he wants and needs to protect her. Now Jude is told by his brother-in-law Angel that he will be Lila's bodyguard until they can get to the bottom of the trouble Lilia finds herself in. As the members of the club will do all they can to protect her as she had a close relationship to Jewel, Angel, Brooke, Beast and Jude when she left the club without saying goodbye. Lila is this feisty, sassy strong young women who learned how to protect herself from her mentor Brooke and will discover that their bond is closer than ever and that she is still considered family.
The interaction between Jude and Lila is full of chemistry and passion as they bring out the best in each other as the feelings they kept hidden is finally recognized, the explosive relationship between them is fast, hard and full of desire leading towards an undying love, one that neither one thought they would be able to achieve. Will Jude be able to protect her once her past comes for her as she will discover that the man she thought she killed has returned seeking his revenge. This story was full of intrigue, chaos and passion, but most of all the the close bond and love between the men and women of the Lords of Carnage MC as all characters from previous books are back in this final series ending. Jude was an outstanding read, and I highly recommend to all fans of the Lords of Carnage MC. Looking forward to the next generation to come!

I literally read this book almost straight through I enjoyed it that much. I’m sorry to see the series end but it ends well. The sense of family that is part of the Lords of Carnage is especially obvious in the epilogue.
I liked the way the relationship between Jude and Lila changed from a casual teenage one to a more mature adult one. While they are younger than most of the other main characters in the series this is not really a “young adult” book. I found it to be both sweet and sexy with ice cream sandwiches, trips to the fair and library, very cute but it also has steam.
We get to see Beast and Brooke again, I loved Beast offering support to Lila after a particularly traumatic event.
Lilias still feisty, not afraid to stand up for herself, take someone on in a game of pool or darts. Jude is strong, caring, capable of apologizing and being a hero.
You don’t have to have read the rest of the series but it will add to your enjoyment if you do. Myself, I don’t have any trouble reading out of order. While this series does have a story line that runs through the books, each book is still able to stand on its own.

I'm sure everyone is sad to see this incredible series end. It's been a truly incredible reading experience, one I'm sure I'll read over again. This final book revolves around Jude and Lily. Lily has always been independent, determined if you will. But when something is bug enough for her to ask for help from the LOC, it's time 5o sit up and tame notice. Jude hasn't seen Lily for quite some time and she has grown in all the right places. Even though she's gorgeous, will the LOC agree to step in and protect her? Will Jude.
I hope everyone should read this series. I mean start at book one and let roll. I'm looking forward with great anticipation. Wonder what Daphne Loveling sends up now. I'm sure no matter what it is, it'll be will be worth the wait. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and then some!

Danger and Romance
What a great story of Lila a young woman in need of protection from a syndicate group. She has no mother; her aunt does not want her and her father has been absent all her life. She stays with her evil stepfather because she has nowhere to go. After a serious altercation with this syndicate mob, she runs for her life. She ends up at the last place she ever expected to go. The Lords of Carnage Club House. They take her in. Lila has always been a force to be reckoned with. She takes crap from no one and knows how to defend herself. She has people there who love her. But she has a hard time trusting anyone. I feel badly for Lila as the people she was supposed to be able to count on let her down and made her feel like she was a nuisance and a piece of crap. But the club started to change all that. The story pretty much covers the interactions between Jude and Lila. There is some action but not till the end. I felt I got to know Lila better than Jude. He did seem to be his own man, takes responsibility for his thoughts and actions, say what he means and means what he says. He is good for Lila and in turn she is a good influence on him too. I really enjoyed reading this and do recommend it.
I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lila and Jude are the latest characters in The Lord's of Carnage MC that will certainly keep you entertained and glued to your Kindle. This installment has a gripping storyline and also allows you to catch up with past characters within the Series.
I have read Ms. Daphne Loveling's publications for many years, however, this is my favorite Series of hers. Lila, at only 18, has had enough struggle and strife in her life, more than most. When Lila is tasked with yet another errand, by her horrible Step-Father, danger like she hasn't yet had to face places her on the run to the only place she has ever felt comfort and love.... To The Lord's of Carnage MC. Jude, a respected Brother in arms is tasked with becoming a bodyguard and keeping Lila safe, until the matter can be dealt with. What neither expected was to fall in love while facing down their enemies. Can they come out on top and get their happily ever after? I encourage everyone to read along to find out.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Jude in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this release, as well as the entire Series as a whole.
Please note that this release can be read as a standalone MC romance, although I prefer to read the Series in it's entirety.

Jude & Lila
I'm sad to see this series end, but I'm so happy it ended with Jude and Lila's story. The sense of family that is part of the Lords of Carnage is obvious in the epilogue. Jude and Lila changed from casual teenagers mature adult. While they are younger than the other brothers and ol ladies their story was action packed an, steamy and emotional. I loved how he remembered she loved ice cream sandwiches, and have a first by taking her to the trips fair and library omg that was so sweet. Lila's still feisty, not afraid to stand up for herself and challenges anyone to a game or arm wrestling. Jude is strong, caring, capable of apologizing and being a hero. I'm so happy they got their happily ever after!

Phenomenal!!
Daphne did an awesome ending to the Lords of Carnage!! Jude and Lila are so good together. I loved reading about them as kids in Angel's book. He was such a cocky kid and Lila was such a competitive can't touch me kind of kid. She had to best everyone. Sad to see the Lords go but this was such a good book. Great ending.

Loved it so very much!!!
So many mixed feelings!!! This is the last book in the original Lords of Carnage series and I’m going to miss these men and their ol ladies so much. But I absolutely loved this send off to this series. Jude and Lila’s story is so dang good. I’m so glad they ended up together and get their HEA. Of course, there is tons of intrigue and suspense. I do hope we get to visit with these folks in future LOC MC chapter series. Thank you for giving Jude and Lila such a terrific story and for the lovely send off of this unforgettable group of people.
So many mixed feelings!!! This is the last book in the original Lords of Carnage series and I’m going to miss these men and their ol ladies so much.

Jude and Lila's story is a great conclusion to the Lords of Carnage MC series. And who doesn't love a friend to lovers romance? Having a few of the Lords making an appearance and involved just adds to the story readers have come to expect in a Daphne Loveling read. Filled with suspense, action, drama, romance, and twists, readers of the genre won't want to miss this one. It is a standalone read, and as a reader of the series, I can't wait to see what is next from Daphne Loveling. **I was gifted "Jude" leaving my review based on my reading** 4.5 Stars!

Jude🖤Lila
Sometimes getting to chose your family is for the best and you should never feel sorry for those choices… Jude and Lila were inevitable it just took them a few years to understand it, and it’s an inspiring yet hard journey to get there. The story line was good and the characters are well developed along with all the secondary characters make it an awesome read. It’s a definite recommend

Oh wow what a brilliant read.
Lila is literally running for her life but will the Lords of Carnage take her in and keep her safe, because no-one else has.
Jude can't believe that Lila is all grown up now and he will do anything to keep her safe.
The chemistry between burns and when they give in its explosive but with danger still looking for her will they get time to spend together.
Full of drama and plenty of suspense and even more emotion but also so much love.
This is a must read to she how much of a fighter Lila is and how Jude will do anything to protect her.
A brilliant ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Beautiful ending
Jude's story was a beautiful way for the author to end The Lord of Carnage series. Jude has been so angry has a young boy and a man. He can't forgive his parents which is understandable. Lila’slife was no better. But when she got into trouble she went to the only people who she trusted the Lords.
Through their story they had many emotional moments. Jude finally getting his head out of his ass, Lila’s father showing up. Beautifully written. Going to miss the Lords.

Lila and Jude will take you on an action packed, very emotional, full of twists and turns with an ending that will make you smile and have you wanting more. Lila is in trouble and runs to the Lords for help. Jude and the others offer her help but will they be able to save her before it's too late? Love being back with all the Lords and their ladies. With this final story I was pulled right in and I loved every second of it. You could feel all the emotions and the chemistry between these two are off the charts. Absolutely amazing read and I so can't wait to read what she has next.

This is a great friends to lovers romance. Jude and Lila have chemistry for days. Sad this is the last in the series. Would of loved to get more of the other brothers. Kinda felt like this one was centered around the heroine instead of the brother or hero. But still another amazing story from Daphne. Hopefully we can get a Christmas special or something with an update on the brothers. Couldn't put it down. Kept me intrigued and entertained from start to finish.

Sorry to see this series end!
I have enjoyed reading this series, each book keeps getting better. The Lords of Carnage MC has everything you want in a great read, alpha hot bikers that are flawed but noble that find strong women who can show their core of steel as well as a softer side. I'm going to miss these characters!

I can't believe that this is the final book in this terrific series that has kept me on the edge, made me breathless, left me swooning and had me falling in love again and again. I really, really don't want to say goodbye but if I have to (and I do), I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to finish up this much loved series. Jude and Lila give your heart quite the workout with the barrage of callosal feels, intense emotions and heart melting sweetness that the romance between these two hits you with. I thought it was simply beautiful and powerfully moving how the complexities of these characters and the sharp edges of their flaws and baggage fit together so smoothly. I felt that it gave this couple a very meant to be feel. Of course, along with this incredible romance you get plenty of drama, danger, intensity, action and heat. While you could read this book as a standalone I truly feel it would be to your benefit to read this entire series. This will provide you with a much richer experience by giving you a deeper insight into all the characters, their relationships, the club and all the events that have occurred over the course of the series. This is my freely posted, frank review.

Jude:Lords of Carnage MC
Lila is a strong, stubborn woman that never had an easy life. Jude also grew up in a troubled home. They are perfect for each other. A fitting end to this excellent series.

Loved this series
I have waited for awhile for this book. It was worth the wait. The two main characters are young but it was exciting to watch them grow together. I’m so sad this is the final book in the series. But I’m looking forward to other books by the author.

Leider geht eine super Reihe zu Ende. Ich hätte gerne noch neue Mitglieder des MC kennen und lieben gelernt. Vielleicht erfahren wir ja was aus den Kids des MC wird😋😍

Great book!! I don’t think there’s a book on the series that I haven’t loved. These guys (and ladies) and great. Protect what is yours at any cost. I can’t believe this is the last book of the series but I know this author has another great story lined up.
I love how we get Lila’s back story of how she knows Jude. Seeing him jumping into action and going with his feelings about her is great. To watch Lila deal with everything and still come out standing, I absolutely loved it. She’s so strong and you have to admire her.
