As VP of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle club, Ty is no stranger to complications, but nothing could have prepared him for Kelsie. Months ago, he and his club were part of a daring rescue that pulled her from the depths of a human trafficking nightmare. She emerged haunted by her ordeal and inexplicably drawn to only one man—Ty. Though she fled the help his club offered, destiny brings her back into the protective orbit of the Hell’s Handlers.

Now, Kelsie is grappling with shadows that refuse to leave her side. Still terrified of the world and haunted by her past, she finds solace in the strength of Ty’s presence. As their bond deepens, parts of Kelsie she thought lost resurface. But as hope starts to bloom, the past crashes into her life.

Kelsie’s estranged, notorious family reemerges, bringing a storm of danger and drama that threatens to unravel everything she’s worked for. Ty and Kelsie must navigate the turbulence of her haunting past, a twenty-year age difference, and the fragile threads of trust they’ve just begun to weave.

With so many forces pulling at the seams of their budding relationship, the question isn't only whether love can triumph but also whether they can survive long enough to find out. In a world where trust is as precious as life itself, can Ty and Kelsie hold on to each other and defeat the demons—both within and from their enemies?

Content This book contains topics that may be difficult for some readers, such as human trafficking and suicidal ideations.

This is the sixth book in this biker series, and it’s Ty and Kelsie’s story. I’ve not read any of the previous books. I don’t think it’s too much to drop in and out, but I do want to find out more of these bikers.

Kelsie is fighting both her past and her demons. Being held by traffickers has her jumping at shadows and detests anyone touching her, all except a gruff biker. But she needs to find her own way, so runs from the only refuge that was safe….
But when her past catches up with her, Kelsie returns to the only place that she felt safe, and the only man that touch didn’t freak her out. Making friends with the women (or old ladies) in the biker group is a start. They have their own stories to tell. And I’m interested in finding out (adding more books to my TBR) 😉 but the past has a habit of rearing its ugly head. Will Ty fight for her, or will it be safer for everyone if she runs again?

Ty is the VP of the Hell's Handlers MC, it’s the Florida Chapter. He’s no stranger to danger and it’s a guy you want in your corner. But rescuing a young girl has him using all of his patience and has him wanting to be there for her. And he’s devastated when she disappears. So when she turns up at the compound asking for her, he’s going to do everything in his power to be the one she turns to.
But Ty isn’t without his own demons and a dark past. So is he really the best person to help this wound little bird? You bet he is.

I loved Ty and the protective and caring way he was with Kelsie. The story was heartbreaking in places, so grab tissues.

It’s a well written action packed story. With emotions, finding new family, growing friendship’s. It’s got suspense, drama, danger intrigue and trust issues. But it also has banter humour and spice 😜

Be aware of the trigger warnings that the author has given out.

Gripping MC Book

Ty is the VP of the Hells Handlers MC and was a hero to Kelsie a woman whom he saved from captivity. She clung to him like her life and sanity depended on it. Ty was the perfect man for handling Kelsie when dealing with her trauma. As they spent more time together, they became close but Ty had many misgivings due to his age compared to hers.

All this time Kelsie was holding secrets of who she actually was and of her upbringing. Would Ty find out before it was too late to save her?

This was fast paced and on the edge of your seat kind of book that had me hoping throughout that this couple would find their HEA.

This author never fails to deliver, I loved Ty and Kelsie, not keen on age gap romance so I mentally just change their ages whilst reading lol
It was great to be back with the Hells Handlers family, love the over protective bikers, and the women who stand side by side with them, plenty of humour from Jinx and the girls.

This is part of a series, you could read it standalone but you will then want to read the stories of the couples we already have, starting with Curly, the author does enough background to read it as is though.

Jump in and enjoy!

Ty is the sixth book in the Hells Handlers MC: Florida Chapter by Lilly Atlas. This one is an age-gap romance with some hero worship and shocking truths revealed.
Ty is the VP of the club who helped save Kelsie from the trafficking ring she was a victim of. Ty went through a horrible marriage and divorce and has no intentions of ever committing or trusting a woman again. Something draws him to Kelsie though and he's the only man she trusts and will be around.
Kelsie has already had a horrible life and she escaped when she was 16. Unfortunately, when loneliness got to her she accepted a date with the wrong man and ended up in a trafficking ring. When her family decides it's time for her to come home she ends up in the women's shelter the club's ol' ladies are opening. Nothing can be simple though and trouble comes calling.
I gave this a 3-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I felt like the focus was all on the age gap between Ty and Kelsie too much. It was constantly referenced and drowned out other parts for me. Once the twists and truths were revealed the book picked up and there were things I never saw coming which I enjoyed. I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series with the way this one ended.

I've been waiting on Ty's book since I first met this man. I mean I wanted to see who could bring this strong silent man with no road name but VP down to his knees. And when Kelsie would only let him touch her when they rescued Brenna I just knew something was gonna brew there. And boy was I right although he fought it for a long time. Thinking his age and what she had been through was way to big of factors for having a relationship with her. But the stronger she got and the more secrets that come out about her family the closer they got. And he just couldn't resist her anymore. And let me tell y'all if they are men out there like Ty lord have mercy on all of us women's hearts!!! They way he was with Kels was just so dang sexy and hawt!!! The way he told her to take whatever she needed from him whenever she needed and ladies ya know what I'm talking about. 🌶🌶 Shew lord there were so many spicy scenes that were so dang hawt!! Oh and Trina can we just have her taken out please!! And wtf is happening with Pulse I'm in the need to know asap!!! One thing Lilly knows how to do is write some dang good MC books and this is another one!! Yes it is part of a series and best read in order but you can read it as a standalone. I highly recommend this book!

So, so much fun! I love everything Lilly Atlas. Let's be honest. You already knew it was going to be five stars. Although I'd just like to say that can we stop with the "old man" stuff when the characters are in their forties. For crying out loud, that ain't old. That's prime, baby. Prime.

Anyhow, both Ty and Kelsie were great characters. Despite Kelsie having such a terrible backstory, she was so strong, and I loved that she still had some great spunk. Ty was an absolute sweetheart, and you had to feel bad for him that he had to live with his terrible wife for that long. What a b!%ch. The story was solid. It moved quickly. Ms. Atlas' stories are always well-paced. And, of course, you get an MC romance with some deeper themes. Honestly, this is about as good as you get with MC romances. I have read A LOT. You can not get any better than this author. I've tried to find more.

I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter. Because there is no one.

Just a warning: This book deals with the aftermath of rape. It also deals with attempted suicide. The ending also has a series cliffhanger, though the actual main story is completely tied up.

Ty & Kelsie

The club ran a successful rescue of some abused women by traffickers. Kelsie was so terrified she was immobile near any man--but one. The club VP, Ty. He Gently carried the frozen woman and held her until they arrived at the hospital. She didn't want to be near any man--except the man who rescued her. Still, she escaped the hospital. Little did they know the situation they found her in was not all she ran from.

Ty is more than attracted to her but there is a big age difference, her emotional issues, and the problem that sent her running to begin with as a teen.

The ladies in the club have had their share of frightening escapes and been rescued by the men they now love and call their own. They are all in to help Kelsie get through her pain and fear. Of course, a little match-making on the way adds some interest.

With a past of a woman who couldn't be trusted and their age differences, Ty resists. Or at least tries to. Loyal friends old and new, a protective new family, and plenty of steam from a man she can't resist because he feels the same make this another winner. I love the MC and the brothers, their ol' ladies, and the family they have become

Kelsie has been through a hell of a time. She was kidnapped while on a date and was being auctioned off. Until she was rescued by the Hell’s Handler MC, Florida Chapter. She was so traumatised that the only man she would let close to her was Ty… No matter how much she wants Ty, he doesn’t see her as a woman. And on top of that she has a secret that she doesn’t know if she share with anyone…

Ty is the VP of the Hell’s Handler MC, Florida Chapter. Since he helped rescue Kelsie, he can't stop thinking about her. But nothing can happen between them. She has been through a terrible time, and not to mention the fact that she is so much younger than him. Until the attraction becomes too much and one thing leads to another…

Poor Kelsie didn’t have a good past. Being with the Hell’s Handlers feels like the first time she feels safe and part of a family. Now she doesn’t just have to fight Ty to be with him, but also her family to leave her alone.

The drama and the suspense in this one was on par. I enjoyed the story from the start and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. And especially that ending, so man I need the next one asap… 😊

Kelsie has her own share of terrible things in her life, but when she came face to face with Ty, she was caught up in a human trafficking ring. She won't let any other man near her but Ty, as they have an instant connection but she takes off out of the hospital, and he doesn't see her again for a minute. Turns out the other issue in her life has come knocking, so he finds her in the hospital after she harmed herself, and this time he's not letting her off on her own again, nope, his MC is going to help her this time. They still have that connection but he feels like she's too young for him, not to mention everything she's gone through so there's some push & pull that has taken place as she heals. Of course that past has come for her so she's going to have to confess to the other secrets she has so they can protect her, especially now that she & Ty are building a life together. This was a great story with tons of suspense, angst, humor with supporting cast, and sexy times so yeah, I loved it so much. I CANNOT WAIT to see what happens in the next book, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

3.5* for this new read from LA. Ms Atlas was the first author I read in this genre and one of my fave books is the original HHs - Copper. This story was pretty good, but it's the same old trope of girl in danger & her making a total bonehead move after being pretty level headed in spite of the trauma she went through.

The story was somewhat repitious as we don't need a recap of the chapter we just read every time we switch from the H to the h. The H Ty was a likeable middle aged (46 yo) hot guy (of course) who falls for the girl (woman) he rescued. We never get a full description of the h Kelsie. We know she has blond hair & possibly blue eyes & is around 21.

Anyway, it was an enjoyable read, though a bit boring in spots with alot of OTT villians in this one. Also, an ex-wife brought into the story for no real reason, except to cause a little drama,which was so stupid & added nothing to the story; that really annoyed me because it seemed the author just threw that one at the wall to see if it would stick - it didn't!

Ty the sixth instalment in Lilly Atlas's Hells Handlers MC Florida Chapter series, is a fast-paced, exhilarating ride that will have readers gripping their handlebars from start to finish. This age-gap romance introduces us to Ty, the brooding VP of the club, who steps into the role of hero for Kelsie, a young woman he saves. The chemistry between Ty and Kelsie is electric, and their passion leaps off the page, adding an intense layer to the narrative.

The age difference between Ty and Kelsie isn't just a simple plot point; it's a compelling twist that deepens their connection and keeps readers engaged. As their story unfolds, secrets and lies are revealed, adding suspense and intrigue to this mesmerizing read. Lilly Atlas masterfully weaves these elements together, leading to a breathtaking happily ever after that fans of the series will adore. "Ty" is a must-read for anyone craving a gripping, emotional, and hot MC romance.

Ty & Kels

I was so excited to read this book. The HH MC is one of my favorite &author to read. This book is about Ty the VP and owner of a tire shop who help rescue Kelies from a human trafficking ring. Ty carried her out of the nightmare she was stuck in and sat in the hospital with her until she disappeared. Kels has been on her own since she was 16 and hiding from her corrupt family. Two months later and she is back in the hospital after she cut her wrists and worst off. Pulse notifies Ty that she is in the hospital and he goes to stay by her side. Ty is attracted to Kels but he thinks she too young for him. Kels feels the attraction too and only feels safe around him. The HH family’s comes to help her heal from the trauma she suffered from. You can count on the whole HH family getting these together. You have hot sex scenes and laughs and parts that make you cry. I can’t wait for Pulse’s book to come out. Thank you Lilly for writing great books.

If you’ve kept up with the series, you’ve met Ty and Kelsie. TY and the Hell’s Handlers MC were the men that rescued Kelsie from a horrendous situation with the trafficking ring that held her. Since the night he carried her to safety and the hospital, Ty has had a strong protective feeling towards the girl. That’s all it could ever be since she is 20 years his junior and doesn’t need the constant reminder of the night he and the club found her - right? As for Kelsie, she’s never felt so safe as she does with TY around. So when a stupid mistake winds her up in need again, she doesn’t argue but accepts the MC’s help. But what about her and Ty, will he ever see her as a young helpless victim?

Outstanding addition to the series, which is a must read series for sure.

We first meet Kelsie in Locks book where she held is captive by a group of traffickers along with Brenna, Locks Old Lady. The club are in time to rescue them, but severely traumatised by her ordeal, no man can get close to her, except TY.

Overwhelmed by events, Kelsie flees the hospital back to her lonely, secluded life. Is she running from her distressing situation or is she hiding from something else too?

Ty, the club VP, is the only man who can get close to her, with his distrust of women and being 20 years older than Kelsie, he tries to deny how much he wants her.

A fantastic age gap, enthralling story, packed with trauma, peril, betrayal, bravery and plot twists along with the usual club banter. I’m looking forward to more of the series.

This is the sixth book in this phenomenal series, and this is Ty and Kelsie’s story.
Ty is the VP in the Hell’s Handlers MC, while Kelsie is haunted by her past, and the MC rescued her and other abused women from a human trafficking scheme, and Ty is the only man she would allow near her.
This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, drama, danger, suspense, intrigue, trust, an age gap, witty banter, humor, loyalty, secrets, healing, revelations, and love, which leads to an entertaining, haunting, unpredictable, tragic, and spicy addictive page turner.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the story of Ty and Kelsie. Ty is the VP of the Hell's Handlers Mc Florida Chapter. Kelsie is a girl who is fighting her past and for her future. She finds herself in the hands of traffickers. She is in a mess until Ty rescues her. He is the only man that she can stand to be near her. However, she needs to make it on her own. And runs...He was her safe place and she was holding on to some huge secrets and the past is coming back for her. So, she knows the only place she is safe. I really loved this story. It was filled with twists and turns and edge of your seat moments. The characters are amazing and so perfect for each other.

My heart broke for Kelsie. She’s been through so much. The ole ladies help her deal with everything but the only person she feels Safe with is Ty. When they take her to the hospital, she escapes. Only for her to end back up in the ER. When Ty finds out, he goes to her. When they find out everything she’s actually running from, things get worse. Poor Kelsie is on a rough road. All the ladies jump in to help her & a long the way they push her and Ty together. Although she feels a pull to Ty, will he give in and take what he wants? Or will it be too late? Will her past catch up to her and take her away from him before he faces how he really feels about her?
Great book!

Ty & Kelsey

Kelsey's story broke my heart. She has been through more than any young women should have to endure. Even through the ol ladies of Hell's Handlers MC are there for her and promise that she safe it's their VP Ty who she feels the safest with. Try is older and fights what he feels for her until Kelly takes it upon herself to ask him to fulfill her need and that's when their who relationship changes and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to get my hands on Pulses story.

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Ty is the VP of the Hell Handlers MC in Florida and when he saved Kelsie from a human traffic ring he was the only man that she could be around. Now she is back in his life but there is the complication and it is one that may end them all. I loved this book so very much and I couldn't read it fast enough. Lilly Atlas is one of my go to authors and this book proves why. Amazing characters they kept me involved and intrigued. I highly recommend this author, story and series.

Kelsie is no stranger to danger and lies. Her family taught her that. Ty rescues her from a total nightmare. He stands by her even when her pride gets in the way. Great storyline. Excellent writing.

A good story of a woman who was kidnapped find love and trust with one man. Kelsie was kidnapped and abused she didn't trust any men. Hell's Handlers rescued her, the only man she trusts is Ty.
Ty fights his attraction to her because she is half his age. Try as they might they can't stay away from each other, so when they get together is is magical. The age difference, ex wives and corrupt families can't come between them. You can't help but love this group, they are family and the addition of their women make it even better.

Lilly Atlas continues to up her already fantastic A game with each instillation of the Hell’s Handlers’ series. The primal response that these couples have to each other completely grip you and do not let go, especially in Ty. Older and completely jaded by his ex, Ty can’t understand why a mere slip of a girl can enter every thought and completely consume him. Kelsey knows that Ty is the only man who makes her feel safe and can explore who she really is with this man. This one was one of my absolute faves. Chef’s kiss!

All I can say is wow! This story had me turning the pages. Kelsie had been through so much and came out stronger for it with the help of Ty and the Hell's Handlers MC. Ty had his own issues to deal with but could not help the attraction and heat between them. I loved Kelsie's resilience, kindness, optimism, and the strength to rely on others when needed. Ty had my heart from the get-go. He was strong, loyal, determined, yet so gentle and patient. Loved this couple. Well worth the read.

A terrific series

4 1/2 stars

This was another intense, complex, and intriguing story with many unexpected twists that will hook you from beginning to end.
Although this is very unusual for this author, there were a few editing errors in this book. It wasn't anything major, nor did it take away from the story itself. There were some missing words, and a couple of misspelled words. Overall, it was a fantastic story that everyone will enjoy.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Kelsie and Ty meet under the worst circumstances. Ty, along with his MC brothers, rescued one of their brothers’ old ladies and rescued Kelsie at the same time from a sex trafficking ring. The only male that Kelsie felt safe with was Ty. Little by little they got to know and trust each other. And with the club’s help, Kelsie began to improve. And along the way, Kelsie and Ty fell in love. Of course, they each had secrets which takes the reader on a roller coaster ride. Don’t worry-it’s all worth it and it’s an excellent book.

good read

Thoroughly enjoyed this book as it’s been a while since I read from this author. Liked the older guy but wish he’d been quicker off the mark with his ex. As for his younger but exceptionally brave gal she certainly packed quite a punch for a reader. Wasn’t sure if all her family were tainted with the same stick but look forward to hearing about retribution, I hope as series continues .

Ty

An excellent read. I absolutely loved Ty and Kelsey’s story ❤️❤️❤️ trauma was a real emotion for Kelsey and more threats from her family sent her over the edge before she’d managed to heal from the last incident. Ty was so relieved to have found her again and although he was fighting it he needed her in his life. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎

Phenomenal read!!

Ty and Kelsie was a couple everyone could see happening from a mile away.
Their initial meeting came on the heels of horrific event in a previous book. When they connect again, it’s under terrible circumstances.
This stubborn man is no match for what Kelsie’s heart wants. Tons of mystery, intrigue, drama and super spicy good stuff make for a phenomenal read that had me turning pages fast. And the ending!!!!
