Beast

Being the big guy ain’t so bad. The women love it and our enemies fear it, but seeing my brothers claim their women has got me thinking that maybe it’s time for a change. Maybe it’s time for me to claim a woman of my own.
I know from the minute I see her, she’s mine. It’s probably not the smartest move, to make a play for the crime lord’s daughter, but then again, I was never very bright.

Belle

I’ve never been scared of the bad guys, even though technically my dad is one of them.
So when I was ordered to take safety with the Black Hearts MC, I wasn’t scared, but the feelings the big, rugged and dominating biker was awakening within me were terrifying.
I have all the experience in the world with bad guys, but zero experience in falling for one.

No outlaw love story is simple, and for Beast and Belle, they’re about to face a lot more than their feelings when family secrets unearth a desperate and vicious enemy that will slaughter anything or anyone that gets in his way.

I'm a self published author. I fell in love with reading as an adult, when I found the romance genre. I immediately got sucked into the stories and fell in love.
The romcom, the dark, the Suspense, all of them!

I struggled a lot with reading and writing when I was younger. Being dyslexic made it extremely hard for me, but I loved writing stories even then.

I wrote Rise Above in secret too scared and embarrassed that it wasn't good enough, that people would laugh at it, at me.
My husband pushed me to take the leap. So I did. Not having an editor to start with and a friend making my cover it scary jumping into a world your unsure of what to do. Learning as I go.
Its the best decision I ever made. The response was amazing.
I am currently working on the rest of the series. And plan on writing until I run out of words.
I love it and one thing I've learnt is you only live once and you should to do what you love and what makes you happy.
I hope that people enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

Typical rehashed same old same old MC story. I love original content. A lot of the MC “romance “ books are not romance in the least. I’m not talking walks on the beach and flowers I mean romance where the characters have strong feelings attraction for each other and their relationship is developed within the story. No fucking others and no purposely hurting each other either emotionally or physically.

You won’t find that here. It’s not the worse I’ve read but it’s far away from the best or even being good. We have Beast who meets Bella is super attracted to her. The first night she is at their clubhouse for protection she goes to the kitchen and beast comes in. They flirt big time. Only for some OW to come looking for him who he had fucked that night. So he was super attracted to Bella flirts with her while a woman he fucked was waiting in his bed. He goes back to the OW most likely to fuck her again. He does say later on that he kicked her out of his bed that night that Bella had saw her and he wanted her to know he was serious. How would she know? He told the OW in front of Bella to go back to bed. He leaves Bella to join her. We can easily see he used the OW. They refer to women as bitches and have club bunnies.

So Bella is pissed because she thought he was flirting and was going to kiss her. Anyway, continuing on. He finds out she is a virgin (hate this of course he has fucked god knows how many and she is a virgin). They fight he is like never wearing condoms with you. They don’t talk about being tested or STD’s at all and he does not wear condoms with her. He ends up claiming her but acts like an ass and does not tell her what’s going on. She thinks he is fucking around it’s never confirmed if he did not just that he had not been partying at the clubhouse.

They end up married and pregnant but it was so boring. Big dick slept with everything even fucks OW after meeting her no safe sex no STD talk. Miscommunication check danger check treating women crappy check bunnies check. Nothing new to see here. Yes technically he did not cheat but that’s not what I disliked here it’s the fact that it’s portrayed as it’s ok to fuck OW to get off from being attracted to someone else or to forget the MFC. I don’t care if the OW is the bad guy or a bunny they are still being used in place of someone else. That’s what I find disturbing is that it’s out there like it’s ok. I always struggle when the MMC can go ahead and fuck someone else after meeting the MFC I don’t like what it says about his character using someone in that way. It also reduces my believe that the MMC will stay faithful and is really in love.

They do declare their love and all that but it fell flat.

Beast and Belle’s book has the names, but not the storyline of Beauty and the Beast. Rage, another book in the series, is much more that fairytale. Of course, these people are bikers, so there’s some good-natured teasing about the names, but it’s quickly abandoned for story.
Story goes, Belle is a mafia princess whose father is a close contact of the MC, and he wants her kept safe and off the radar because there’s threat. Popsie can see to it himself because he’s currently reposing in prison. He also running the underworld from said prison, but he can’t do *everything*.
When Belle is brought among the bikers (which would be a great book title, btw, and I said it first), there’s an instant attraction between her and Beast, and Instalove ensues, although he falls first and harder.
I love a book where He Falls First, and I enjoyed the way that he gets her to realize that she is as in love with him as he is with her.
There are shenanigans, and we learn why Beast got his road name as soon as he drops his drawers. Plus there’s jewelry. Lots of sexytime that’s fun to read. Also love the way Star goads her old man until he throws her over his shoulder and takes her to the bedroom.
Beast and Belle’s story is fun to read, although I was confused why this was written in British English when Rage was not.
Book is SAFE.
HEAT is EXPLICIT, with a PIERCED HERO and a BREEDING KINK.
TRIGGERS include violence, language, sex.
TROPES include Mafia Princess, Who’s the Daddy?, Having My Baby, Alpha Male, Instalove, He Falls First and Harder.

This was a phenomenal mc romance, the story is full of action from the beginning until the end. The chemistry between Belle and Beast was smoking hot. I loved the banter within this book and made it extremely enjoyable read but was very difficult to put down. LG Campbell has gone and done it again and written another astounding read with this book and makes me wonder how she does it every time.

This book has been one of my favorites from the series so far! I love the entire MC, but something about Beast draws me in--I guess I like the big biker dudes! I feel like Beast and Mammoth (from Beautiful Lie of the Satan's Outlaws series) are two of the most intimidating but most loving guys in their clubs. I loved getting to know Belle and seeing the dynamic between her and Beast as they navigated their feelings for each other amidst the chaos of the outlaw life. As we learn about the bad guys in this book, I had a little suspicion that something wasn't quite as it seemed, and I was so excited to see where the story brought us at the end. I loved the little twist and how it all came together, and I am so happy Belle found her Beast!

The beast and his beautiful Belle!

This is yet another fun, action packed stay with the Black Hearts MC!
Beast was sent to collect a package….said package turned out to be the daughter of a mob boss in need of protection…..!
Belle is a sweetheart, she lives an independent life and loves her Dad, but she knows to stay out of his world. When things start going down she agrees it’s safer to be with the MC.

Beast is instantly smitten by the young red head and makes it his mission to protect her…this is my only issue with the whole story…it’s a bit too instalove from Beast, not insta-lust which I can handle from these guys…..after all they are all insanely intense in everything they do!!!!

I love the brothers and their banter, their devotion to each other and once again the girls are keeping them on their toes…..it’s hilarious as the more the girl brigade grows the more trouble they cause…..Love it!!
I’m intrigued about the newest visitor in the clubhouse and can’t wait to get back and see how it all unfolds!!

"I love you isn't enough for how I feel about you. I am addicted. You consume my every thought. When you're not with me, my body craves you. Fuck. Even when you're with me, my fingers itch to touch you. My eyes are forever drinking in your fucking exquisite body."

Finally a black hearts member that didn't lose his personality in his book. I absolutely adored Beast I loved his pesonality and I love his banter that he had with everyone. I will be honest the whole beauty and the beast mention did have me cringing a little but I feel like everyone does that. I liked Belle she was a good character. However by now the plot line for all these books are pretty much the same, a girl turns up at the club, the go missing or get taken and their choice of biker protects and comes gets them and I feel like its getting really repetitve now. I love how we still get to see the other bikers in the series but I would like to see a different plotline from the series if it is to continue, I would love to see a female main chatacter not be so broken and maybe just be strong from the get go. I will say Beast and Ghost so far have been my favourite books and I just hope from now on the bikers that get books keep their personalities during their stories.

I just don’t know where to start with beast!

I had high expectations from the way he was in the previous books - beast by name, beast by nature! But he thoroughly lived up to his name and the hype!

What’s more fitting than a girl on the back of his bike, named Belle, right?!

Belle is fiesty, and she knows what she wants - pleasure and happiness, only she hasn’t experienced the former. But boy does Beast rock her world in more than one way.

Once again, the author wrote the story between Beast and Belle absolutely beautifully. Perfect spice to plot ratio, and the spice is DEVINNEEEE.

The spice was spicing, the plot was plotting and the twists were twisting!

The only fault I have is that my expectations are WAY TO HIGH and I REFUSE to settle for less than Beast in a man now!

This series just keeps getting better and better. I feel like all these characters are friends and family at this point 😂

This book picks up where Hawk cruelly left us hanging! 😂 And what a ride Belle and Beast took us on. As always we have drama, angst and spice. Oh the spice 😍 Not forgetting the humour, so many one liners that I was constantly cackling at! I laugh so much reading these books (in a good way!) I love how they can be dark but still have the humour to go with it, it's the perfect balance. I'd love to spend a day in Lauren's head whens she's writing! I seriously can't wait for the next book 🖤🖤

not the best of the bunch

Didn’t enjoy this as much as the other books in the series so far but for me the highlight is from the one character that’s consistently the best in all the books, Rage!!! He’s so funny and he’s not trying to be. Just cracks me up.

The scene at the dinner table where he tells Belle her face is making him angry is a classic!!!!!

The plot in this one is rather weak, and I know this one is about Beast and Belle but give me my fill of Rage and I’m happy.

Book 5 of the series and this time it gives us Beasts story and who better to sweep him off his feet but his very own Belle!
Beast is starting to get broody when the girls start bringing the babies around rhe clubhouse so when he sets his sights on Belle he knows just how he wants their pairing to go!
Belle just so happens to be the daughter of Mob boss Bobby so how will this go down with daddy dearest??
As always there is truths, lies, chaos and calamity, especially between those old ladies!
Into Spiders book next although Rage continues to be my absolute favourite so far 😍

I love a good dark mc romance and this one hits all the right spots. The story is full of action from the get go and doesn’t let up till the end. Belle is an absolute beauty inside and out and I loved how Beast was instantly smitten with her. The chemistry between them literally lights the pages on fire but I loved how Beast reigns his feelings in until Belle is on the same page as him.

I’ve loved being back with the Black Hearts MC and as much as I loved Belle and Beast, I absolutely loved being back with Star and Ghost as well. I love the banter between them and I love how Star keeps the brothers in line. Star literally steals every scene she’s in and I love how she takes Belle under her wing.

As always with LG Campbell, she always manages to exceed my expectations and delivers another amazing story. The story itself is amazingly well written, fast paced and I couldn’t stop laughing. I loved all the twists and turns the story took. I absolutely flew through reading it, I just couldn’t put it down. It had me hooked from start to finish. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

A tale as old as time..... well not quite but it does have a happily ever after. This tale of beauty and the beast is no fairy tale. There are dark secrets, blood stains and wild bedroom antics.

Book five of the Black hearts series has not disappointed. LG Campbell sucks you in to an erotic thriller like no other always leaving you wanting more. Beast is no different. It comes highly recommended from me.

Continues to grab hold of my attention!

Yeah this was a great book and devoured it in one sitting. Good storyline with a twist, and lots of action.
But as always stealing the scenes for me is Rage, he is an unconscious comedian.
Beast and Belle had such chemistry and a beautiful love, like a fairytale, if it was dark, dangerous and rode a motorcycle!
Great spicy scenes with lots of dirty talk.
Fast becoming a favourite series.

The Beast 💎 😉

I know I keep saying this, but I love this series!!!!!!!!!

Beast has a task……..get the ‘gift’ 😉

The ‘gift’ isn’t what he thinks………..but watch how he goes from ‘ladies man’ to…….well I’m not going to ruin the story 🤣🤣🤣

We’ve seen Bobby throughout the first 4 books, well we’re get to understand more about him and why he needs the ‘gift’

Fantastic 👊😮‍💨😉🤤😋😜

And still my heart is with Rage 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Loved this addition to this series.

Belle & Beasts story was fast paced from the beginning. Full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. Loved the insta love trope in this story, Beast is a man who falls first and hard.

Can't wait to read more about the new arrival at the club house!

Beauty and her Beast

When LG Campbell wrote the Belle and Beast story she did them Justice. Beast knew immediately Belle was his but she had to see it before he made it official. The story is full of love, danger and funny at times.
Beast is determined to make Belle his and his only. Great story

When Beast is sent to collect the package the club has been asked to look after he is shocked to discover the package is the beautiful Belle. He wants her, but she is off limits because her dad is a crime boss, he’s in prison and needs the club to keep her safe and malice isn’t far away.

A gripping read full of danger, drama, twists, turns, action, angst, ol’ lady mischief and the usual banter and humour we have come to love from the Black Hearts MC

This is a brilliant series, I’ve read each book in one sitting and can’t wait until the next book

***Received an ARC for my honest review***

Yet another wonderful read from this series.

Beast is a teddy bear when it comes to anything to do with Belle aka The Package. He just knew from the moment he saw her that she's the one for him. What I loved was he didn't jump her bones from the beginning.

Belle had a good life with a loving father. She lost her mom when she was young but had her father who protected her, her whole life.

Beast and Belle's story was not as sweet like Beauty and the Beast, it was so much more.

This book had it all from shocking secrets that were revealed, heartbreaking moments, some laugh out loud moments to a HEA. Loved it so much.

The next book looks like we're getting Spider's story. Looking forward to reading his book.

I LOVE the Black Hearts MC and this book did not disappoint.
Beast and Belle are swoon worthy. The chemistry they have from the beginning is great. I love seeing the softer side that Belle brings out in Beast but also the stronger more confident side that Beast brings out of Belle.
Now I'm torn who my favourite man is.. I'm torn between Hawk and Beast.
