Wrath

Dirty Soul MC: Long Beach #2

by Emma Creed

I left Long Beach with pain in my heart and hate in my soul.
My Father didn’t just destroy his club.
He destroyed me too.
I ruined the girl I loved enough for her to want me to think she was dead.
And I let down a man who put all his trust in me.

Now, there’s a new hope.
Raze has returned and is fixing all that my father broke.
And despite how I betrayed him, he wants me by his side.

When Eden shows up at the club, I don't care that she's mad at me.
I see a chance to make things right.
A chance to give her the life I promised her.
And a chance to prove to Raze that I can be the man he believes in.

Long Beach is changing,
Our bonds are getting stronger.
Now, it’s time to claim the girl that was always mine.
And ensure the man that caused my destruction feels my Wrath!





Wrath is Book Two of The Dirty Souls Long Beach Charter.

This was a wild ride. I love wrath, but Eden was annoying towards the end. Like, just listen to instructions. There is a lot that happens in the book, so if you’re triggered by anything, check those out before hand.

5*
Wrath is loyal to Raze and wanted to tell him about Eden but when his dad Cliff demanded he take a final initiation, it's not what he expected.
His patch was all he ever wanted but knew what he needed to do to keep her safe.
Eden has made a new life for herself burying Eden to become Katie. However she's having doubts and needs to be sure. Returning to see her brother the truth starts to come to light.
Great story

Holy moly this is a fabulous addictive read! Wrath and Eden have a history, she reappeared at the end of the last book when she punched him. We learn so much more about them and their tragic past - hankies at the ready. This is fast paced, dark at times and totally absorbing! Trust me, you will not stop til you reach the end.
Incredible read

[Julie Workman|Bookaholic Sisters Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't know what Emma puts in these books but damn, I can never put them down.
Wrath held my complete attention from start to finish, the emotions that poured out of me was ridiculous.
It was sweet and deadly heartbreaking and heartwarming.
I absolutely love this world in whatever form it comes in, I can't get enough.
I'm so excited to see what's to come.

Here we go again.😏
Wrath & Eden. I love them together😩 That man would burn the world for her and I’m here for it every step of the way.🔥
We LOVE an assertive man. Sir, tell me what to do and I will thank you for it🥵🫡
We have the perfect amount of action, plot twists, suspense and SPICE. This series has everything I crave.
Emma, You’ve done it again and I’m unwell🫠

Talk about holding on. This is book 2 of the series Dirty Soul Mc Long Beach. Wrath is Vp and best friend with Raze who also is president of the dirty soul. This story is based on Wrath and Eden’s story. Boy get yourself ready for the ride. Eden change her name her life to get away from her pass. But I turns out she never stop loving Wrath and wanted to be back to her past. There’s so much pain between Eden and Wrath. Eden is going to prove she a strong women and make something for herself. Wrath find out what happen to Eden when he left that night he sword in to be a member of the dirty soul. And what he find out is what he never thought it would happen. In the mean while girls are being drop died in the Dirty soul property. At the same time they find out we’re cliff been hiding.
Their so many things going on but at the same time wonderful hear old members of the Dirty Soul Colorado’s well . I recommend this book and give 5/5

[Catia Santiago · Rating 3 out of 5]

Maybe it was me, but I had a really hard time understanding Eden. After all she's been through, she isn't afraid of going after her heart, but what happened to the fears that made her forge her own death? And why return to the city where her abusers were from? At first I thought Cliff would be the next Chop, but now it seems there is a new enemy emerging. And when everyone is on lockdown, what does she do? Crashes the gate and flees. Just how thick can she be? Everyone putting their neck on the line and she breezes through the gate. Couldn't find her... likeable.
Even so, I feel like it's hard to like these Long Beach guys... I think I miss the original ones, even though some of them take a peak here and there.

“I came back here because I was fed up with living a lie. Maybe it’s time you stop living yours too.”

After the dramatic arrival of Eden in the previous book we’re now getting the full event…and from two young souls so close to riding into the happily ever after how did Wrath & Eden end in a crash leaving them both burnt out?

Emma will always keep us flipping the pages and with this new series slowly growing we won’t be left disappointed!

You can already see how the Long Beach brothers are starting to come together to make the changes their club really needs, feeling the strong bonds forming and the protection that comes with it.

Eden's brother is the newly appointed Raze and she has a deep history with VP Wrath. Being this close to Wrath after all this time is stirring old feelings that they both share, but the past is holding them back and secrets are awaking old nightmares too.

“You gonna let me show ya how it shoulda been?”

I really love how Emma doesn’t hold back, you know the details that will come with these books and just when you think you’re already in the moment…bam! The story flips, taking you on a new route that you couldn’t have predicted.

There are a lot of emotions, the main storyline starts to really develop too and with the different characters you can start to see how their stories will unfold too…which is very exciting!

Add in some faces from the past that we won’t ever forget and this story really does bring old souls back together…can they finally ride together after all this time?

After all these years I get the same yearning for him each time I hear the roar of an engine, but tonight is different.

[Robyn Corcoran · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this second Long Beach Dirty Souls MC book, many exciting and sometimes frightening events occur while the hunt for Cliff Adams continues.

The lead characters are Eden, Raze’s sister, and Wrath, the vice president of the club. While they are definitely the main couple, all of the characters are integral to the storyline. I truly like how this author weaves each character into the story so carefully and makes them vital.

Eden is such a great character, but one who has been running from a traumatic past for years. I liked Wrath in the previous book and still do, but I will admit I wanted to slap him over the head a couple of times. 😆 I’m pleased to say he redeemed himself, and I even understood why he did what he did.

Talk about some unexpected great twists and turns that shocked the heck out of me. I know, I know, this writer always includes excellent plot twists, but when they happen, they are just so good they deserve to be mentioned.

Be prepared for a few hairy moments emotionally, but also know that there is some terrific humour. Once again, readers are given a brilliant story to enjoy.

[Heather Hahn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emma Creed does not disappoint in the second installment of the Long Beach Charter of our Dirty Souls! After Raze and Peyton’s story, Wrath’s NEEDED to be told. At the beginning of the story, we are brought back to Long Beach, and into the turmoil that is Wrath’s life (VP of Long Beach and completely in love with Prez’s sister) and Eden’s entire life upheaval (Eden is Prez’s little sister). Their history goes waaaaay back, and as Emma unravels their story, I found myself gasping and crying, and angry… so angry. I don’t want to throw in any spoilers about the shockwaves that go through the Charter in this book, but I will say that I love how Emma can bring out all the emotions when it comes to these characters. Any shots at them or their families feels personal.

I honestly didn’t know if anything could measure up to the Colorado boys that we’ve come to know and love.. and that we’ve wept over, but these Long Beach boys are sliding their way easily into my heart. I am so excited to continue this journey to find out what all else happens….especially after that ending to Wrath. That’s all I’ll say. I HIGHLY recommend these stories!!

[Detra Newhouse · Rating 5 out of 5]

First, let me just say that the cover model for Wrath just shot to my #1 spot out of all the Emma Creed books! Holy Hotness, Batman!! Wrath unearths a LOT of truths and mysteries we only got a taste of in Raze as well as from our Colorado chapter. We even get some visits from some of our beloved Colorado chapter member, too. Wrath is on a path to determine whether he can have a second shot at what he once almost had. It won’t be easy and given that up until this moment, we don’t know the half of all that went down when Wrath took off and Eden died. Let me tell you right now, get your tissues out and let your family know that even though they may see your mouth wide open it doesn’t give them free rein to toss things in it! This book has a lot of “OMG” moments, some are super dark and twisted. Wrath’s father, Cliff Adams, continues to prove he’s a scumbag and very much like the scumbag we had to deal with in the Colorado chapter - just a bit more evil. You’ll also find a lot of “WTF” moments as it relates to some Colorado crossover, too! This one doesn’t disappoint, as if Emma Creed could even do that, and you will want to know what happens next for sure.

[Jane McDougall · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emma Creed is back with the second book in Long Beach Dirty Souls MC series, and to say I was excitedly awaiting this book in a massive understatement. Now the hunt is escalates for the ex president of the long beach chapter, we learn why no-one is happy with Cliff Adams many misdeeds and none more so that his son Aaron, aka the eponymous Wrath. As the actions of this book unfolds, we have a look back in time to see just why Cliff is so hated.
Current Prez Raze’s sister Eden is back, and we soon learn of the shared history with Wrath, and boy is it a doozy! We soon learn how her own father Vex and other well-known characters in this world have been involved in how Edens disappeared for many years.
Read on to discover secrets, lies, mischief, mayhem and misdirection.
Motivations become clear and surprises are revealed and some of these totally blew my mind!
This book is jampacked with everything we can hope for from Emma Creed, and as I write this a few days after finishing the book, it is still front and centre of my thoughts. I loved it.

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️

Chills. Literal chills. Wrath and Eden's story brought me (emotionally) back to the beginning of the OG Souls series, it was so dark and so good and I absolutely loved it.

I really adored both of these characters and their story. This is a second chance with tragic backstory and it got me all up in my feels. Wrath (and Raze too) went through so much as more of Eden's past came to light and it broke my heart watching him handle it all. Eden was so strong and such a baddie, and although she did make a TSTL decision, I still loved her to pieces.

The ending was perfect. Wrath's big moment for her and the Vex situation were really emotional and beautiful and they made me so dang happy.

Just a heads up, it took me a minute to remember some of the Eden stuff that went down in Raze, so I'd recommend a reread if you have time, but I did catch up eventually and it's not necessary.

[lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again what did I just read. This author is a phenomenal storyteller one that can portray different plots and they all fit together perfectly. Eden and Aaron aka Wrath’s relationship started off being kept in secret until Wrath could get his best friend and Eden’s brother’s blessing but before that could happen tragedy happened and tore them apart. Until Eden walks through the clubhouse doors walking back into Wrath’s life. Unknowingly bringing back chaos and anguish into their lives. Now it’s up to Wrath to keep Eden safe. This story was full of emotions and more twist and turns than I could count. I absolutely loved Eden and Wrath. I love all of the members in the club, they are fantastic. I highly recommend this book but start with book one. You won’t regret reading this series. I loved it.

[Carmela Dimattia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Could this series get any better? Just when I think Emma Creed has outdone herself she delivers another spellbinding book that had my heart in my throat all the way throughout. I devoured this book until the early hours of the morning and then I still kept wanting to flip more pages because I just wanted so much, much more of Wrath and Eden (Katie). Their history is long and heartbreaking for them both but ultimately Wrath did all he did in order to keep Eden safe. The Dirty Souls MC have been in my heart from the very first book I read and I know that the men from Long Beach are locked in there with original Dirty Souls. This series is truly outstanding and you know that when you pick up one of Emma Creed’s books you will never be the same. Loved it and I highly recommend this series.

[Riley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an advance review copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

Dirty Souls Long Beach is really starting to get good. I was worried it won't compare to Colorado. This series has romance, darkness, mysteries, laughs and tears.

Once again Emma Creed has written a book that embodies brotherhood and the women they love. Initially, I wanted to shake Wrath to wake up to his feelings. Eden proves she is quite strong and goes after what she wants.

There is a mystery thread that is ongoing but in general the couple is happy for now. It is great having the fun tie-in with the Colorado gang and then having members come to Long Beach from all over. I cant wait to get to really know these guys.

[Allison Comis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book. This was about Eden. She left town 10 years ago to start over with a new identity. Her new name was Katie. She was at a bar with her friends celebrating her bachelorette party. When they went outside to leave she hears a bunch of bikes ride by when she recognized them especially one being Aaron. The love of her life. She tried to put him out of her mind but it didn’t work. She was at the church getting ready for her wedding to Mark. She knew she didn’t love him the way he loved her but she wanted a fresh start. She couldn’t go through with it though and left the church and went to see Aaron at the clubhouse. Her brother is also there. He is the president of the MC. So much took place in this book. Can’t wait to read the rest.

[Brittany St Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man does their history hurt. There's so much pain between the two of them, but Eden is strong. They both are, but she's resilient. What she's been through, it's a lot to take in, but she doesn't cower because of it. She holds her high, and makes something of herself.
They both push thru the hurt, and do what they need to do to move on from the past, and build their future.
There were laugh out loud moments involving Grimm, which is always a treat. I love seeing the Colorado men in Long Beach. And the drama that keeps you interested and wanting to know the truth. The end sets us up for something really dark and twisted, and I'm excited to see how it plays out.

[Lisa Parker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story will hurt your heart after what this pair went thru. Wrath left Long Beach after what happened to Eden, but he and Raze were led to believe that she was dead. Wrath went nomad until Raze talked him into coming back to Long Beach as his VP, his father had fled. Except he finds out Eden is not dead; she is about to be married but calls it off after she sees Wrath.

Their beginning is so heartbreaking, what both of them were subject to and the pain afterward. Each story keeps getting better, cannot wait for the Ruckus’ story. While the story is a standalone for Eden and Wrath, the series best to read in order to enjoy the complete storyline.

[Clare · Rating 5 out of 5]

If ever there was a series in which you thought "no it can't ever be beaten by an other one" then you'd be wrong! Dirty Souls Long Beach Chapter is shaping up to be just that...I thought the Utah boys were good...😏
Aaron and Eden bring us a story of heartache,tragedy,some immense "close call" moments,but at the same time,an incredibly moving and passionate journey between the two of them.
The whole book kept me hooked from start to finish,and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next! Five stars!

[Amanda BikiBookworm Vermaak · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story of Wrath and Eden gripped me. From beginning to end. The hell they went through was nothing compared to the love that survived. I'm grateful that Eden is such a strong woman. Why do men always feel they are not good enough?
What caught me by surprise was Vex. Totally did not see that one coming. And what Raze did for his daddy. Super cool. Happy Cliff got his in the end. I love this series. It's always a twist at the end. Who did it? Get this series and find out. It's so worth it. It's always a surprise, too

[Mrs J · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a prospect, Wrath is forced into an initiation by his malicious father the President, leaving him broken an filled with hatred. He turns his back on his father and the Long Beach chapter to become Nomad. But now he is back as the VP for the new President.

In true Dirty Souls style, this is a fast-paced gripping read, with plot threads and layers within the main story, twists, turns, betrayals, danger, trauma and action. We get to meet some old familiar faces from the Colorado chapter and unfinished business that I’m really looking forward to reading

[InkedandCurvyBooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second installment of the Long Beach Charter of the Dirty Souls! Here we get a better glimpse at what gave Wrath his name and the struggles he went through with Cliff as his father. When the bodies start to pile up, the club tries to draw out Cliff to keep everyone safe. The reconnection between Wrath and Eden makes the story even better, and the torture they went through adds up to make the demise of Cliff so much better! You don't want to miss this installment of the LBC Dirty Souls with the stage set for future destruction on the horizon!

The hunt for former Long Beach president Cliff Adams escalates as dark secrets come to light—including suspicions that he’s connected to the deaths of several women. His son, Aaron (aka Wrath), leads the charge, determined to hold him accountable. When Eden, sister to current Prez Raze, returns, hidden connections and family secrets emerge, revealing shocking truths.

This book is packed with suspense, surprises, and everything fans love from Emma Creed. Days after finishing, it’s still on my mind. A fantastic read

[Ana Armstrong · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Eden and Wrath have a long history and that past and present are woven together to create the is amazing story.
I can’t wrap my head around some of the things in this book - in a good way. Will definitely have a book hangover. I mean…WOW.
Long Beach is turning out to have so many mysteries, drama to the maximum and so much to share. Lots of storylines converge in this book. We do get some resolution of a major storyline that has crossed over many Chapters of the Souls. Buckle up - you are in for one bumpy ride!

[Rebecca Coleman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a standalone but if you want to know the backstory and the characters read Emma's books! Wrath has been a Nomad but his best friend asked him to come back to the one place he never wanted to return too. .. Long Beach! Wrath and Raze are trying to help the club rise from the ashes and in walks the love of his life that he thought was dead. Will Wrath and Eden get a second chance at HEA? But there are so many secrets! So many obstacles! A great read that i could not put down!

[Mrs J. Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anther great book from Emma. I do envy the way she dreams up these stories. It seems to be so easy for her and she is a master of her trade.
Whilst the books are romances and this one is a "best friends little sister" trope, there is sooooo much more to Emma's books than just romance and sex.
This is the second book in the Long Beach spin off from Dirty Souls and previous characters also re-appear.
I'm really looking forward to the next instalment, thank you Emma.

[Sophie Ruthven · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a long awaited story and it did not disappoint.
So many things were weaved throughout this one book, that it couldn't not end up on my top reads list.
My head is reeling, it was very cleverly done and I can't tell you about any of it.
We get so many answers in this book, most that we didn't know we needed.
Definitely recommend after you've read the first book, and I can't wait for the next one.

[Terri West · Rating 5 out of 5]

An exciting and engaging read, 5 stars. The plot is complex and takes many twists and turns, keeping the reader glued to the pages. As always Emma creates great characters and Wrath and Eden are no exception. Whilst some answers are revealed, there us also heartbreak for some club members. I loved the rekindling of this romance and the push and pull between our two MCs.
Brilliant read with a tense ending that will only be answered as the series continues. I can't wait for the next book.

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 2 for this series and its continues with more drama and twists for these Dirty Souls!
Wrath is suffering from severe guilt over what's happened in his past and it all comes to the front of his mind with the past becomes his present!
Wrath and Eden are meant for each other and seeing them open up and start to let each other in again is great.
Looking forward to starting Ruckus book next!
