Blade
Alaska is my kingdom, and as President of the Kings of Anarchy, I keep control of my men and the secrets that could tear our lives apart.
Life here is simple: no one asks questions, and I don’t offer answers.
But when I find Hannah, stranded and out of her depth, everything shifts. She doesn’t belong in my world, yet I can’t stop thinking about her.

Hannah
I came here to escape my life in Los Angeles.
A fresh start away from friends, family, and him.
After my accident, he left me because I wasn’t “perfect” anymore. For over a year, I tried to make it work, but every time he looked at me, I saw the revulsion in his eyes.
So, I sold everything I owned, packed up my cat, Grace, and moved to one of the remotest places I could find—Alaska.

Can Hannah accept the beast inside of Blade and the broken men he leads, or will the brutal truth of their worlds rip them apart?

Get ready for a raw, gritty ride through Alaska’s wild terrain, where danger lurks at every turn, and love is anything but easy in Property of Blade, Kings of Anarchy MC Alaska.

Motto:
Nobody fucks with the Kings.

I went into this book blind and I am glad I did. I like switching things up and this being a paranormal romance hit the spot. The story was strong and the characters (Blade and Hannah) pull you in. I loved the setting in Alaska, it fit this story perfectly.

This was my first book by this author and I need to go and read her other books.

Loved It!!

Wow! This author always kills it for me and this book was no different. You just know there is something/someone lurking under this whole storyline and it has you guessing throughout. Blade is the President of the Kings of Anarchy MC and him and his band of brothers are at their last stop in Alaska.

Hannah is from the lower forty-eight and is trying to put distance from her ex and start a new life in this rugged land…in a Mini Cooper. What you would expect to happen in Alaska does and she gets her little car stuck and is need of a tow. This is how Blade and Hannah first meet.

Sparks fly but for some reason Blade is trying to stay away from Hannah. It doesn’t last long because there is no way he can deny himself of Hannah and Grace. This was an awesome page-turner that made this a one sit read for me. I cannot wait to read Vex’s story next in this series.

Kathleen Kelly dives into the mysterious world of shifters in this incredible story. I can't say too much about the story itself. That would give it all away. I will say that Blade and Hannah heat up the pages with such an unbridled passion. He's primal and she feels it. Kathleen Kelly writes their story with such ardor. Her characters are just brimming with life. Their story will captivate you from the beginning. I know I couldn't put it down. Reading until the wee hours of the morning to see where their story went next. I'm anxious to see where Kathleen takes us next in this exciting world. I'm so ready to read Vex's story next.

Wow! I need book 2. I’ve never read a book like this before and it hooked me from page one. It’s has twists all of the place and I never knew what was going to happen. You don’t know until the near the end what Blade is you just know something supernatural. The relationship between him and Hannah is very fast paced. But seeing her confidence improve throughout the book is great. You also start to see little glimpses of the other MC characters and how they get on with Hannah. Overall a really good book to read.

A solid, straight forward and good paranormal romance for you all to read. I loved the fact that there was very little fluff in this story. We got right into meeting the characters. Then each of the scenes moved us into the moment without exaggerated or flowery words needed. There was a good balance of witty scenes, smooth conversations, serious moments, and enough nods to the secrets everyone had in plain sight that on a second read you'll be let into the inside jokes club. There was also this level of suspense that I was drawn to the whole time. I was equally looking over shoulders while reading to see who the hell was stalking Hannah; as well as, who was trying to pick off Blade's people. "Nobody Fucks with the Kings" was the absolute best phrase the gang could have picked.

The romance in here was delicious! It had a very small element of slow-burn that makes you want to keep reading, but as in most paranormal romances, once we get a green light, our Main Man is quite an animal in bed. Pun Absolutely intentional. After maybe 1 or 2 very steamy moments, the romance moves into fade-to-black scenes as they get ramped up. Truthfully, I actually liked that turn for the story. It showed me that there was more to the characters and the world than just focusing on the banging each other moments. I appreciated it. especially since I have become invested in this group of misfit paranormal people. We got our spice still. It just wasn't all consuming. I will say though, Blade and Hannah's connection is just perfect! She calls him out on his BS and he practically grovels at her feet to prove that she is his world now.

This was perfect sit down, dive into the Alaskan wilderness with a bunch of super hot looking men in a Motorcycle crew kind of a book. A simple, forget about the worries of chores that are around the house, type of a read. Literally. I sat down one evening to start reading and next thing I knew it was 3am. Thank goodness it was a weekend or that 5am alarm was going to WRECK me. Overall, this is a great pick to other paranormal romance readers! Or if you are dipping your toes in for the first time, pick this one! There are some interesting individuals hiding out in Alaska. That being said, Kelly keeps the exposure to this new world fun and quite enjoyable for us humans. I'm looking forward to following this series!

I love Blade and Hannah! Blade is an interesting and swoonworthy MC. This is a paranormal MC romance that has a great mix of heat, mystery and banter. I enjoyed the layer of intrigue throughout. This first book has made me very much invested in the rest of the series.

Blade is pure alpha. Cold, controlled, and totally in charge of his MC. Alaska is his turf, and he doesn’t let anyone in—until Hannah shows up, lost, broken, and completely out of her element. She’s not cut out for his world, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her anyway. And damn, the tension between them? Off the charts.

Hannah’s story hit hard. After her accident, being dumped by someone who couldn’t handle her scars? Brutal. But instead of falling apart, she picks herself up, grabs her cat, and runs as far away as she can. Alaska was supposed to be a new start—not a full-blown collision with the president of an outlaw MC.

Their connection is messy, real, and intense. She challenges him, and he protects her in the only way he knows how—rough, loyal, and without apology. The backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness just adds to the danger and isolation. You feel the cold, the risk, and the constant edge of violence. And somehow, in all that, love still finds a way in.

This book is raw, emotional, and full of grit. The club life isn’t glamorized—it’s hard, violent, and full of secrets. But the loyalty? Unmatched. And Blade? He’s the kind of broken that makes you want to fix him… even when you know you shouldn’t.

‘Property of Blade’ is my first book by author Kathleen Kelly. I found it to be a welcome surprise to the usual MC romance. I have read, and enjoyed, a certain MC romance series that features Orcs—this one lands … different. All of the club members are paranormal ‘monsters’, but they couldn’t feel more human. Very well written book. Really looking forward to ‘Property of Vex’.

I like how Blade pulled her car out of the ditch free of charge and go her safely to her home. A simple cute gesture of baking cookies to say thank you takes Hannah down a whole path. Does she trust the president of the MC? Does she fully open herself up to a whole new vibe and possibly love?

Blade is so thoughtful and caring. I love his vibe 10/10.

Crazy the twist of the MC!!! I was totally not expecting that at all but I love it!! I cannot wait to read book about Vex.

I received this as an ARC and I’m obsessed! Thank you!!

This series is definitely for fans of the Sons of Anarchy television series. If you enjoy bad boys, supernaturals and a bit of spice, Property of Blade will be right up your alley.

The supernatural twist caught me be surprise, as there was only a hint of something in the book synopsis mentioning 'not of our world'. The story was captivating from beginning to end, and left me wanting more. I can't wait to read Vex's story in book 2.

Wow. What a great start to a new series. Kathleen Kelly did an amazing job on this book. I couldn't put book down once I started.

I don't want to give anything away, but I absolutely loved Blade and Hannah. Also getting to know the other members.

I can't wait for more.

This story is about shifters with a paranormal twist. There's action, heat and some humor. I've read other MC books with a paranormal twist, but not with so many different shifters in one MC. HEA.

This MC romance surprised me with the romantic suspense, the paranormal tie-ins, and the overly gritty, wild vibes of the story. But I quite enjoyed the overall read. The characters are morally grey, protective, quirky, and interesting. I love the variety and the family dynamics. Blade is caring, a true leader, and the MC president. But what he is, isn’t revealed right away. Hannah is looking to start over;  she is damaged and is human. I love her cat, Grace, in this story, truly the best character out of them all. I would read the series for the cat. The author pulls in a lot of tropes I love with the fated mates, human mate story, MC romance, grumpy/sunshine tropes, and so many more. This was truly a good read.  

Blade is the president of the Alaska chapter of the Kings of Anarchy MC. He has the keys to the frozen kingdom, not that he wants them.  I love that he helps out the tourists who get stuck in the wrong vehicles, like Hannah in her Mini Cooper, because the car just isn’t made for Alaska. 

Hannah is damaged by looking to start over a new life away from the one who hurt her before. But it is unclear how she was damaged, and either way, she is self-conscious about the scar. But I admire her independence. 

This MC is gritty and raw, just like the place they are based in, wild like the land they call home.  Most of the guys are tough, but this club is about survival, not trivial things. 

Hannah is still adapting to her new life, but  I love her cat's sass, the menace, and of course, the conversations with it. She is funny and charming. Oh, her story and her damage do come out. Now I see the ties to the motorcycle.  She might be a hermit due to her scar, but she has a sweet and caring nature. She is an accountant and works from home, and is very practical, minus maybe the vehicle. 

The cookies and not kitchen skills are charming. I love her sunny countenance that seems to contradict Blades' grumpy nature. However, the electric-like touch is intriguing.  Blade and the MC guys may be rough around the edges and outlaws for the most part, but the way cheerful Hannah fits in with them is soothing to the soul. I love the protective men to the strong heroine, even if she is damaged. 

Her past is haunting her in more than just her memories. I love Prophet's interpretation of this newfound happiness and what may come of it. His premonition is enlightening.  There are some paranormal hints in this MC romance, but nothing outright is revealed.  But something strange is up with Blade, Vex, and some of the others. 

This book gets steamy before they even finish dinner, and he claims her, but idk if Miss Human even knows what it means yet. But I guess she is gonna find out that something disturbing and traumatic happens with the cat. I love that Prophet fixes it. This book needs a trigger warning.

I think I know what blade is with all the breadcrumbs and paranormal hints the author has given up to this point in the book, and while I don’t agree with the bonding without her knowing. I'm insatiably curious to know what kinda paranormal he is, but I’m also not going to reveal it to you, as you have to read the book to find out. There is a whole gaggle of them in the MC and more that I could ever describe in the review. I was really surprised the author included so many species in one MC club. So maybe it is time for the big reveal, as this part feels like a heavy conversation. Will she stick around, or will she run away? 

Under threat, Blade is forced to protect and finally become the paranormal we have been waiting to see. I was right in my guess, and it makes sense for the setting of stories, but did you guess correctly? 

I don’t blame her for her shock; it is a lot to take in. Well, the forgiveness comes fast enough and the sizzling after that. I kinda miss the cat in the storyline. Toward the end, we get fewer interactions with Grace and more with Blade and Hannah. The book ends with a nice happy-for-now ending and a lead into the next characters and next book. This series of interconnected standalone stories and cast of quirky characters could keep you in this world for a while. 

I read this book as an ARC, and I am leaving an honest review.

#OppositesAttract #MC #Paranormal #Shifters #ARC
I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This is a first-in-series- book set in a larger multi-author world of the Kings of Anarchy. Written in first person from an alternating multiple POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. This was my first book by this author, and the first book I have read in the KoA world. I can tell you now that I am going to continue to devour this series as it develops. I am hooked.
I was offered an advance copy of this book and once I read the premise, I knew I had to read it. After living in Alaska for the majority of my adult life, I can be a little critical of books set there. This book did not raise my criticism though. Alaska has a history of attracting the misfits of society, people who want a new start, and those running from their past. It makes it a perfect setting for this MC which is composed of a variety of paranormal MC misfits. This is the first book in a long time where I wanted to make a notebook of characters as I read it. Not only are Blade and Hannah fascinating, but the secondary characters are introduced in a way that makes me yearn for their books RIGHT NOW.
Blade is the president of the Alaska chapter of the Kings of Anarchy MC in Alaska. He has secrets. We find out along the way he isn’t quite the man he appears, but we don’t know what he is until almost the end of the book. I had a guess, but I was wrong. He is a pleasant surprise. His protective and caring instincts toward Hannah are a thing of beauty. Hannah is full of self-doubt after an accident leaves her with physical scars and her ex left her with emotional ones. She picks up her life in LA and moves to Alaska for a fresh start. I loved her resilience, her analytical nature, and her acceptance of things that are unexpected along the way. She sees Blade for his heart and is not deterred by his outward, intimidating appearance. They share a mutual attraction that quickly becomes more as Blade shows Hannah how much he desires and adores her.
The rest of the MC is introduced, and I feel like I got to know them just enough to be desperate for their stories. I am excited about this series, and I am putting the next release on my calendar now.

Where do I start with this one??? I'm so invested in this new series, I can't wait to see where it goes next! I absolutely love Hannah, from beginning to end she blooms. And then there's Blade, totally swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is fire! I love this band of misfits, and I love it even more finding it paranormal! There are so many twists and turns, I didn't see that coming moments, and of course, emotional tissue moments for me! I have followed Kathleen for a very long time and I soak up her words like a sponge. I'm looking forward to many more stories and adventures with this new MC chapter. Kudos Kathleen, I have mad respect for you! Much love!

Property of Blade by Kathleen Kelly
This is not my typical genre. I have never read a shifter/paranormal romance book, and I honestly never had any desire to. But I was offered an arc, and the plot sounded interesting, so I figured, why not take a chance on a new-to-me author?

You guys, I devoured this book in an afternoon. It reads so smoothly. I loved the premise, the scenery, and the characters. The wild thing is that the two main characters aren’t even the most memorable.

I loved how Kathleen told this story. The alternating perspectives and inner dialogue were all well done, and I love that things moved consistently and quickly, without being too over the top.

This is the perfect balance of paranormal and reality. I loved the balance between the characters and their alter personas and enjoyed how they were used. The descriptions were fantastic.

This was a fairly spicy book, which added another delicious layer to the story. I loved the instant connection between Blade and Hannah and their chemistry. It felt authentic and protective without being possessive. It wasn’t creepy or too much on the “you’re mine” side.

I am very invested in the series and cannot wait for the second book. I cannot wait to get to know these characters even more and see what happens next. I am so happy I agreed to read and review this book- I feel this series will be well-received.

Great story! I love watching “underdog” characters find their place and connect wth others. For Hannah escaping her LA life and ex, Alaska is quite a change. Crossing paths with Blade and his unique MC club opens doors to unexpected relationships. The otherworldly/mythical/paranormal aspects of the story are wonderful-varied and unique in very interesting ways. Seeing values of integrity, duty and protecting faculty at all cost were welcomed themes to embrace. Loved how things came together in the end with a nudge toward the next novel in series.

Loved this book and can’t wait for Vex’s, because Tessa is gonna run him ragged. When the new woman, who just moved to town gets stuck, Blade is ready for her or the way she makes him feel. When Hannah moved to Alaska to get away from her past,she was just trying to fit in and spending time with her cat Grace.
Hannah and Blake are both not really sure about the other, but slowly work to having deeper feelings for each other.
When danger starts to play with Hannah both Blade and the MC will stop at nothing to protect her. Blade and the MC are more than they seem and the world will never be the same again, not for Hannah and not for the town.

I don’t know if I’ve ever read a supernatural MC book, or if this one is just so good that it’s erased the others from my mind.

So many unexpected elements in this.. I had an inkling that there was some supernatural but blew my right out of the water. And I so called Jasper, but I still have some unanswered questions on that. I’m about 80% my inkling is right. Can’t wait to find out hopefully in book two, as I think he’s more tied to Vex….

Fantastic story. Is book two ready yet? I need it STAT!!

I didn’t actually read the blurb for the book but I saw MC & automatically wanted to read it haha!

I loved this book, I was actually surprised to find out that there are soooooo many different kinds in one book!

Hannah, moved to Alaska to get away from a bad situation. Her accident left her super self conscious and she just wanted a fresh start.

Blade, President of the MC a crazy shifter you don’t see often! He falls for the new chick in town.

Loved the twist about what was being left at her doorstep, I didn’t see that one coming at all!

You're the new girl in town. Once a big city girl, but now you're tired. City life makes you feel judged and trapped. From all the staring to the crappy now ex-boyfriend that left you feeling no longer good enough. All now because of one thing: the scars, the ones he literally and figuratively left behind.

Not being able to take it anymore, you flee, hoping to start a better life in a simpler, quieter place. You find Alaska and make your nice little picket-fenced sanctuary with your adorable yet intuitive kitty, Grace. You start to breathe again.

But of course, you're not fully set up for being out here in these rough terrains, and your little coupe gets stuck in the Alaskan snow. And that's when you meet him. Blade.

The connection between you two is near instantaneous, and no matter how you keep meeting and how hard it is to trust again, he makes you feel beautiful and finally safe. Even amongst all the new situations, chaos, and danger closing in, he'll be by your side forever.

This is the story of Hannah and Blade; a romance told in equal switching perspectives between the two.

Their dynamic is a very healthy and mature take on the supernatural fated mates trope. Blade is the president of an MC. They do secret deals behind the scenes and practically live in a world, always treading the line between potential danger. Each member of the MC has their own unique place, identity, and role defined by secrecy and one motto: Don't Mess With The Kings. And yet, despite everything and the heavy hand Blade has to have to keep the place running, he's still ultimately protective and understanding. He leads his chapter into the bonds of brotherhood with his willingness to put in effort and understand each individual member and help them understand themselves so they can have a place to belong.

That's also how he leads his relationship with Hannah. Despite having this mystical pull towards her, he never steps on her boundaries. He gets to know her and why she's insecure the way she is. He asks permission before advancing in any important step of intimacy with her. He always makes sure that this relationship is something she wants and is comfortable with, never pulling her too far down before she might be ready. But at the same time, she has the confidence to guide her back out of her shell and the physical and mental scars that city life has left her.

And Hannah isn't a slouch either. While the accident has left its marks on her body and psyche, I found her to be much stronger than she gave herself credit for. While she has her safety nets against the world (her home and the insecurity she now hides behind), I never found myself viewing her as a damsel in distress. She goes out and faces the world. She does what needs to be done even if it's challenging. She relies on herself and her practical mind until pushed to the limit that an average person can handle. Even when things start steering toward the unmanageable, foreign, and unknown, she still comes out with her compassionate and resilient heart intact. She is a complete person who just needs help remembering that.

Blade and Hannah mirror each other in a way that the apparent heavy differences become merely superficial in their wake. They are both strong with soft centers. People who are capable of forging lasting bonds between themselves and others. Blade pushes Hannah towards confidence. Hannah pushes Blade toward being open. Blade leads his brotherhood with a firm and guiding hand. Hannah shows them how to be open to change. He protects her from the unknown dangers of Alaska, and she helps protect his heart, showing him he's worthy of love regardless of being called a monster. The relationship has a beautiful, symbiotic give and take to it that I admire.

The compatibility of the pair allows for the sparks of passion to fly. The tension slowly roasts just enough with stolen kisses and cute dates so that when it finally gets there, you'll be saying, "Oh yes." Believe me when I say the heat turns up when they consummate their relationship on more than one occasion. Blade is quite attentive to all of Hannah's needs, and she tells him that with all her eager whimpers and screams. The consent-focused lovemaking and body worship to show Hannah is loved, scars and all, only makes it more satisfying. Like the rest of their relationship, Hannah also fulfills the needs of his instincts back. Her delicious submission to both the pull and the act of marking without needing force shows off how naturally they go together. This is showcased even further by the end, where Hannah accepts Blade for what he is feeling, like a slot has been filled in both their bodies and souls.

There is also a very special character I'd like to mention. They helped Hannah realize early on that she could trust Blade as well as the other MC members. Her name is Grace.

Yes, even the adorable fluffy cat gets her own special mention, but, dear readers, I'll assure you there's very much a good reason why. Instead of being reduced to a background accessory to show how much of a cute, quirky loner Hannah is, Grace serves as the readers' and Hannah's safety meter. She knows when someone has a kind heart and is safe. The fact that Grace ultimately shows favor to Blade and the members of MC shows how they truly are just misfits carving a place for themselves in the world. Being in her good graces will get you all the love and affection you never knew you needed. On the flip side, when she thinks someone isn't worthy of that favor, it's very obvious why. Act like an ass and be treated like it, as they say.

Grace owns her territory and safe spaces, whether it be the MC clubhouse or Hannah and Blade's homes. She's a little sweetheart with sass who will make your heart drop if you think she's endangered. But she always comes out safe, happy, and on top. She serves as both the book's adorable mascot and ever-important moral compass.

Now, while being an enjoyable read and having many positive factors, there's something that itched at my mind a tad; I feel as if the complexities of the relationship could have been drawn out more in a potentially longer novel.

While I enjoy the ease and maturity that Blade and Hannah's relationship has to offer, it serves as a bit of a detriment to securing that legendary lovers' status at times. The emotional struggles outside of the immediate physical dangers don't appear to hit with the same intensity.

We have Hannah's scars as a stepping stone, getting in the way of her self-esteem, and Blades' reluctance to be completely honest about his and the MC members' true natures. These two issues are supposed to be the core of what prevents them from fully cementing their bond. But they don't come off nearly as pressing as the stalking that leads to the endangerment of the MC and Hannah herself. Both the scars and the differences between worlds' issues almost seemed dashed aside at times due to how well the chemistry and the pull played out. I'm told how Hannah feels about her scars, but I only get to feel it for very few moments at a time between her interactions with Blade. I don't get as much of that deep inner struggle in the before or after scenes of her going home after an outside interaction before the POV switches, and more time passes between each event.

Blade says he struggles with trying to keep distance from Hannah and keeping her from that world, but I don't get to see that when he ultimately ends up glued to her side after an encounter. The inner struggle and emphasis on differences seem minuscule at best when you combine how both their similarities are frequently highlighted and relationship progression occurs at a faster pace than expected.

Hannah tells us she can't and shouldn't be trusting a man she barely knows so easily, long after opening up her heart and body to this man. She's already hooked. Blade mate marks her long before explaining any of the supernatural stuff, to the point it doesn't feel like that world did much to keep him away from her at all. Instances of previous relationships that fell through were mentioned briefly about Blade, but I never get to see the impact of what makes Hannah so special and different in the first place, and how those past experiences get to affect him when this man is always strongly taking charge of his MC and having very passionate and open moments with Hannah.

I'm essentially told these are heavy factors, but I don't get to see enough of why that is or feel those quiet moments that show that they have an effect. Which is why, in the end, I'm left wishing to have had just a few more moments in their world to really hit it all home.

I will say, though, it's also a testament to the author's ability to make me care about these characters. I want to know more about their inner thoughts and past because of how well written they are. The world is a wonderfully established and magical place with many hints of future pairings and plotlines. Thank you, Kathleen Kelly, for a wonderful first book, and I can't wait for more.

And as for you, my dear readers, I could ramble about this book all day, but if you want to know all the juicy details, I'd recommend checking it out for yourself.


Until Next Time,

Holy cow! Let me tell you, this isn’t your typical motorcycle club (MC) story. I chose this book without any expectations and was completely blown away by the world of the Kings of Anarchy. If you’re looking for a thrilling take on MC romance, trust me, you need to get your hands on this one!

Blade, the reluctant president of the Kings of Anarchy, has been exiled to Alaska alongside a crew of misfits, screw-ups, and loners. Blade isn’t just your typical brooding hero; he’s thoughtful, protective, and shows a soft side, especially when it comes to Hannah. But let’s be real; he also comes off as pretty distant and mysterious. He makes Hannah feel right at home, but there’s a lot about him that remains cloaked in shadows. The question is, can he reveal his true self without sending her running for the hills?

Hannah, the new girl in town, is starting fresh after a tragic accident left her with scars both physical and emotional. I love her quiet strength. She’s got a genuine spirit, and while she struggles with her trust issues, particularly given her complex past, she’s not afraid to challenge Blade or even get a laugh out of him. Throughout the book, we see her grow as she slowly realizes that with Blade, she doesn’t need to keep running from her past. It’s a gratifying moment that makes you root for her journey all the more.

As the plot unfurls, I found myself noticing all the little hints and subtle clues that hint at the deeper layers of this MC. From the palpable tension to the mysterious elements lurking in the Alaskan woods, each twist had me engaged. Getting to know the other members of the Kings of Anarchy was a particular highlight, as each of them has their own intriguing backstory that adds incredible depth to the narrative.

What sets this MC apart is the playful yet lethal dynamic among its members. Trust me, if someone dares to mess with Blade’s woman, you can bet there’s going to be hell to pay. I can’t wait to dive into the stories of the other Kings as well. And let’s not forget Grace the Cat, who is a standout character with her feline instincts and ability to win over even the toughest bikers with her charm.

Overall, Kings of Anarchy is more than just a romantic suspense, it’s about finding home among misfits, healing from scars, and building trust in the most unlikely places. If you’re up for a ride that’s both thrilling and heartfelt, I highly recommend checking this one out.

Thank you to Ms. Kelly for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

How can you not love a paranormal MC. You have an alpha male who’s also a shifter….wow.
You get the background of KOAMC Alaska chapter before you fall in love with the man and the beast. And the other members of the misfit MC.
Hannah has been hurt by her ex boyfriend in more ways than one. After he caused an accident and then left her, Hannah finds it hard to trust.
Blade is the President of the Alaskan chapter, not a position he looked for but takes very seriously. He has feelings for Hannah but tries to stay away. When she’s threatened Blade has to step up.
Hang on for one of the best rides.

Property of Blade is book one in the Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska and is Blade and Hannah's story. I went into this book thinking it was your regular MC read. I was wrong. This book is more than just your average MC read. I'm excited to see what's next for this series.
