🤡 me at chapter 1, snapping Jess: hey can you remind me who the fk these people are?!

[Bookishness · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was so boring, zero plot, and 100% predictable!! Such a disappointment, especially because it was the book I was most excited to read! I really thought it was going to be my favorite in the series, but it wasn’t. Dove is still my favorite.

I expected the forbidden romance to be the main focus between the two motorcycle clubs, but it just didn’t deliver. The relationship felt like instant lust instead of tension, banter, no personality , so I was not emotionally invested in either Aidan or Mia.

FINALLY IT IS TIME!!! forbidden romance? MC Romance, I have a feeling this may be my favorite one in the series!! So here we go guys!! 🖤💋

~PRE-read~ I am obsessed with this cover~ I cant wait to start this, literally counting down days.

Miss Paisley, I don't know your middle name, Hope... this book was so damn good! This series just keeps getting better and better. I devoured Foxx and didn't leave a single crumb.

I absolutely loved Aiden and Mia. Their push and pull power dynamic was feeding me. Aiden, that man truly has big dick energy but he truly met his match with Mia because she has big titty energy. Like clearly Aiden wears the pants in the relationship but that doesn't mean that Mia didn't give him a run for his money. The way she was always trying to choke Aiden out but he loved it. He was exactly where he wanted to be. In fact he smiled at her and told her she wasn't choking him hard enough 👀 These two are level out each other's crazy. They are perfect for each other.

I loved the evolving plot that has been carried over from book to book in this series. For example, Mia is the sister of Mason, whose sister was rǎpęd by one of Aiden's ex MC members that we learned about in Wolf.e. So it's nice to see how certain scenarios play out. It's one of my favorite things about interconnected series.

Ugh Paisley, another banger! I can't wait for Kai's book! He's going to be an unhinged psycho golden retriever!

You should most definitely read this book if you like:
- MC Romance
- Age Gap
- Virgin FMC
- Rival MC Clubs
- Secret Identity
- Boss x Employee

Thanks so much to Paisley Hope and her team for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Read this if you love:
• motorcycle club
• forced proximity
• age gap
• forbidden
• hate to love
• she's undercover
• so much spicy goodness

I have loved Dove so much, but Foxx is just the best!!! I knew from the first page that Aiden and Mia will make me fall in love with them and that's exactly what happened. I had an incredible time reading it!
Aiden and Mia and fucking crazy throughout the book and I love them so much! The way Aiden loves her is absolutely everything you would want in a MMC.
Mia wanting revenge, the lies, but also the hate to love, the caring, the spice!!! I honestly didn't know Paisley could write spice like this. It's sooo incredibly hot!!!
Foxx definitely became my favorite from her and I can't wait to see what comes next!

Wow!! PAISLEY!!! You absolutely did the dang thing with this book!!! I have loved each book in this series, but this on absolutely took the top spot for me!! Aiden Foxx 🥵🙌🏻

This book was so full of revenge plot, intense enemies to lovers, unhinged characters, and absolute spice that will have you sweating!! This one didn’t disappoint in the slightest!! Mia & Aiden had a chemistry so full of heat, tension, and angst that just kept me wanting more!! The push & pull between these two kept me on edge & loving every minute of them together!!

When I tell you this man was top tier & would absolutely burn the world down for her!! Aiden is that man!! & the way Mia reciprocated that was so intense!! She was a fiesty and badass FMC, never once backing down. I was just blown away by these two & the heated scenes they had were ones I was not expecting (in the best way)!! These two brought the spice & the kinks to a whole new level!! 🤭

If you love morally grey, motorcycle club MMC, with age gap, badass FMC, rivals, and forced proximity… this one’s for you. Trust me when I say you need this on your TBR!!

Thank you paisley & team for this early reading opportunity!!

Emilia has lived with guilt since her sister took her own life after a brutal attack by a biker gang. Determined to find the last man involved, her search leads her to Aiden Foxx.

Certain he’s the one, Emilia goes undercover to get close and uncover the truth. But the closer she gets, the harder it is to ignore her growing attraction to him, and the danger that comes with it.

This is the third book in the Soldiers of Bedlam series, and I think it might be my favourite even though I loved Gabriel Wolfe.

The plot was insanely good, and the villains were written so well you couldn’t help but despise them. The protective MMC was everything, tough on the outside but a total cuddly bear underneath.

This one is very spicy, so definitely check your trigger warnings. I couldn’t put it down, Paisley has really outdone herself with this one.

Once again Paisley makes you fall for another Morally Grey Motorcycle man! Aiden Foxx that man! I also loved Mia as she was so fiesty and gave it back to him! I love a strong FMC. The spice in this was hot! Erm the scene with the gator 😮 and the corn maze!! Oh and the whiskey! 👀

Also he's a tattooed pierced morally grey biker what's not to love! The plot of this book kept me invested and I loved their chemistry.

[NJS Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Audiobook 🎧

Paisley Hope has outdone herself. This series just keeps getting better and better. I’m obsessed.

Mia is searching for answers about her sister’s tragic death. She is out for revenge and won’t stop looking until she gets it. How does she get it? She goes undercover at a strip club which is owned by the President of her brother’s rival mc club. Surely, this isn’t going to go well….

Mia is a badass who can hold her own. She’s fierce, feisty and one of my favourite FMC’s I’ve ever read. I love how Mia didn’t back down to Aiden even when he was unhinged - in the best way.

Foxx is broody, ruthless and fiercely protective. Definition of morally grey. The way he was completely obsessed with Mia and would burn the world to protect her from any harm.

The chemistry was explosive. I ate up every second of it.

The suspense and romance worked so well together. I was ok the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was coming next. I was fully invested from the beginning and couldn’t put this down.

This series is on the darker side of romance with some tough subjects so be sure to check those triggers.

The audiobook was so good. Samantha Brentmoor was perfect for Mia. Jason Clarke as Foxx - say less.

Love everything about this series and so excited to see that Paisley Hope has announced another book is coming. Impatiently waiting, already.

She’s done it again!!!! One of my most anticipated releases this year and it was everything I hoped it would be. I binged the whole thing in 24 hours because I couldn't, and didn't want to, put it down.
Mia is easily one of my favourite FMCs. She's strong, fearless, and willing to go to any lengths to get justice for her sister's death. She takes absolutely no shit, and I loved that she never backed down from Aidan, not phased at all by the fact he's the ruthless and powerful president of a rival MC club. She’s completely thrown Aiden of his axel, she is nothing like anyone he's ever met and the way he becomes so totally obsessed by her had me kicking my feet!
Together they're such a powerhouse couple. Their chemistry was incredible from the start, but the emotional development made me love them even more.
It's no secret that Paisley writes amazing spice, but there's just something next level about the spice in this dark romance series. It was ridiculously hot and there were a few scenes that were so unhinged my jaw was on the floor 🐊
I absolutely love this world and Paisley's writing, and I'm already counting down to the fourth and final book. Sorry Wolfe, Mia and Aidan are officially my favourite couple in the series.

[Steph ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you to Evermore for sending me an ARC of Foxx.

I enjoyed this one. I feel like it was actually a bit more darker than Wolf.e and Dove. I liked the plot of Mia infiltrating Aidan's MC in order to find out what happened to her sister. And the addition of Dagger being obsessed with her made it extra interesting. I liked that there was such a huge time jump for the epilogue as well giving us an insight into the future and a potential full circle moment.

Wolf.e is still my favourite in this series but this was definitely my next favourite.

All the freaking stars ⭐️

[em (whats.em.reading) · Rating 5 out of 5]

when both characters are just as unhinged as eachother - Mia & Aiden are everything.

Mia Tyler, the heroine undercover seeking revenge for her sisters death. She enters into the world of the Disciples of Sin, the rival club to the one her brother is Enforcer for. Mia is fiesty, so smart, strong and has spent months training in self defence, she feels an unexplainable draw to danger.
Enter Aiden Foxx, the ruthless prez of the Disciples of Sin, who inherited a corrupt and broken club. He’s dangerous, and Mia’s new boss.
Paisley has done something amazing with this couple, Mia has traits of innocence, ones in which Aiden craves to corrupt. But she’s also as unhinged and drawn to the flame as he is, they go hand in hand, fuelling eachothers fire and their chemistry is electric.
This story is non stop, from twists, action and the most deliciously unhinged spice i think Paisleys ever given us, I could not put this down. It’s dark, emotional and oh so sexy.
My kindle highlights are never ending, I included a few on the slides but here’s a few more of my favourite Mia & Aiden moments :

“Make no mistake my little goddess... That which you loathe, you end up weaving into the very fabric of your soul...until you can’t loathe it any longer.”
~
“To thank me...” He nods to the space between his boots. “You kneel.”
~
“I knew that smart fucking mouth was good for something more than back-talking me.”
~
“I would burn the fucking world down around you if you told me you were cold”
~
Thankyou so much Paisley for the ARC of Foxx, if you haven’t already go read the Soldiers of Bedlam series, they’re unhinged, possessive and delightfully sexy.

Foxx is out July 14th

[Xeli · Rating 5 out of 5]

One thing I never have to worry about with Paisley is whether there’s going to be a solid plot and once again, she delivers. Every book in this series continues to match (and honestly, sometimes exceed) the strength of the first, which is so refreshing.

Mia, as the FMC, was incredible. She’s the kind of character that you want to read about in a MC series. She is strong, resilient, and deeply human. Even in the middle of so much sadness and tragedy, she never completely falls apart. The tragedy woven into the story was deeply emotional and, at times, heartbreaking, which made her strength stand out even more. She finds a way to hold herself together, and that quiet resilience made her journey even more impactful.

And Aiden… I truly didn’t know what to expect from him, but wow, he completely surprised me. I absolutely loved his character. Give me an unhinged, obsessed MMC and I’m all in…why not? It’s like he couldn’t help himself. He just couldn’t stay away. And that made their story that much more entertaining, sweet, and honestly addictive.

What I really loved was how well they complemented each other. As the story developed, they matched each other’s energy so naturally, and it never felt one-sided. They truly felt like they were on equal ground, growing alongside each other, which made their connection even more satisfying to read.

And needless to say, Paisley’s epilogues never miss. They’re always the perfect final touch, and this one was no different.

♾️⭐️
So Paisley Hope does it again with another absolutely fantastic read! This third book in the Hounds of Hell series will give you absolute LIFE! I could not get enough of the intense chemistry between Aiden and Mia. How they were so incredibly drawn to each other despite Mia at first wanting to out Aiden for a crime she thinks he had a hand in. And Aiden? Boy did this man try to keep his distance to start with, but Mia just intrigued him so much he couldn’t stay away. Their connection was off the charts and I just ate this book up! Their connection storyline is intense and keeps you gripped whilst also sucking you in with how obsessed these two are about each other deep down. I don’t know how Paisley does it but I manage to fall more in love with the MC characters the more she writes them! This was another book that had me in a chokehold from the word go. And the spice??? Let’s just say I will NEVER look at an Alligator again the same way after this! And I don’t think I’ve ever read a scene so intense and hot all at once! Wow!
I could not of loved this more- everything about it was top tier perfection and it will be a book I won’t be able to get out of my head for a while

Infinity stars! No notes!! This book was thoroughly enjoyed by not only me but my husband as well and he didn’t even read it 🤪🥵🔥

Just when I thought Gabriel Wolfe was my favourite Paisley man in comes Aiden Foxx and slides right in to top place! This book was everything I wanted and more! I love the whole Soldiers of Bedlam series and this book was no exception

The way Aiden says “Darlin” had me weak at the knees and everytime he spoke I was a sweaty panting mess!
I was on the edge of my seat at times and I just loved the whole story! Can not wait for the next book! 🤭👏🏽

Thank you so much Paisley Hope for the chance to be on your team and read this amazing eARC

I devoured this book! Paisley Hope can do wrong, I love every single book she writes. This book was just so good and delicious.

I loved Aiden and Mia. Their dynamic was so good. Mia was a badass and I loved it. I mean she choked him out and it just turned him on. Aiden was morally grey, obsessive, protective and would burn the world down for Mia. I could not get enough of their push and pull. They were perfect for each other.

This had emotion, spice and a twist I didn’t see coming. I loved seeing characters from the other 2 books and the evolving plot between them too. I love this series and can’t wait for Kai’s book! Another banger from my girl!

Every book in this series has a scene that leaves my jaw on the floor. In this one, it’s the alligator scene.

This gave me everything I want from this series - an MMC whose absolutely fucking unhinged (and scares me) and a take not shit FMC who has no problem trying to kill him. Add some delicious spice and you’ve got one very happy me.

These two love each other fiercely and loudly.

Aiden & Mia will leave you throughly satisfied.

Eternal gratitude to Paisley and Sourcebooks for the advanced copies. It’s been an honor reading this. I will forever and always recommend this series.

Holy moly. I’m not usually a dark romance girl, but give me a morally gray motorcycle club president and I’m suddenly all in.

Aiden is absolutely unhinged in the best way. As the MC president, he’s ruthless when he needs to be, but I loved how protective he was of the people around him, especially the women in his club.

Mia is determined to uncover the truth about her sister, and I loved that she never backed down. Every time Aiden thought she’d fold, she stood her ground, making their chemistry even better.

These two were pure fire and ice, and the tension between them was so good. The spice was absolutely insane, and I flew through this book.

If you love protective alpha heroes, fearless heroines, motorcycle clubs, and lots of chemistry, definitely pick this one up.

ALC/ARC Review : Foxx (Soldiers of Bedlam 3) by Paisley Hope

What to Expect:
Age Gap
Rival Clubs
Her plan is to un-alive him
Ruthless Club Pres
He makes her his to protect her
Heroine undercover
Virgin FMC
Found Club Family

Paisley. How? How do you do this to me every time? I finish a book, and immediately have not only a new favorite Paisley book, but also a new favorite Paisley MMC.

Foxx was EVERYTHING. The story, the characters, the spice, the suspense. It had me hooked from the very first chapter to the very end.

Aiden and Mia are 100% THAT B*TCH. They’re both unhinged (in the best way). They’re both hot as all hell. They’re both so down bad. I knew that once the tension snapped it would be epic. And it sure was. The chemistry between these too is unlike any I’ve read before. I can’t possibly say enough about this couple. I truly loved them.

The story, as always, had exactly what I have come to love in a Soldiers of Bedlam book. It had the club history, the twists, the found family, the suspense, and the PASSION. Always with the passion.

Speaking of passion. This was by far Paisley’s spiciest book yet and I was a hot mess.

The narration was INCREDIBLE. Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor can do ZERO wrong in my opinion. The chemistry was palpable and they brought Aiden and Mia to life.

I never wanted this one to end and I can guarantee this one will be re-read for years to come.

Thank you Paisley, Podium, and Sourcebooks for the early copies of Foxx.

Another perfect installment to the Soldiers of Bedlam Series. I never thought Paisley would be able to write a man I enjoyed more than Gabriel Wolfe, but Aiden Foxx takes the cake 🤤 and no crumbs were left behind in the devouring that was this book. I’m literally speechlessness and will go and endure my book hangover now.

[Sienasummerrreads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, this was my first Paisley Hope book, and I’m obsessed. This was such a deliciously dark and suspenseful read. I was completely invested in the revenge plot and couldn’t wait to see how it would all play out and it definitely delivered.

Starting with Mia she’s such a bratty little firecracker, and I loved every moment of her challenging Aiden. Their back and forth felt like foreplay at and it was incredibly entertaining. I admired how strong and determined she was in going after the truth.
Aiden is a powerful character an ex Navy SEAL and now president of the Disciples of Sin Motorcycle Club but he’s changed the club since taking over. What Mia thinks she knows about him isn’t what it seems, and I really enjoyed seeing those moments unfold. His inner thoughts when it came to Mia were everything. The spice was so addictive. There were so many scenes that were intense, filthy, and absolutely delicious. These two are perfect together. The story also explores some darker, heavier topics, which I personally enjoy because it adds that raw emotional depth that really pulls me in.

I will say, while I enjoyed the spice overall, primal play isn’t my favourite. The first scene worked for me, but when it came up again I felt like we already done it. That’s more of a personal preference I sometimes find it a little unrealistic depending on how it’s done.
I was also a bit thrown by the name usage. Emilia goes by Mia, but Aiden calls her Rhiannon, which I assume is her club name. While I understand the purpose within that setting, it did frustrate me a little that he continued using it outside of the club. I just wanted him to call her Mia. Again personal preference.

Lastly, the audiobook was fantastic. Jason and Samantha are such a great duo, and I highly recommend experiencing this one in audio.

I definitely want to go back and read or listen to the earlier books in the series. I’m really looking forward to picking more up of Paisley’s work in the future.

Paisley went and rewired my brain chemistry again! My favorite author, with my favorite narrator duo - it was perfection, pretty much a dream come true 🤣. I am absolutely obsessed with this audiobook. There is nothing better than a sassy FMC and an alpha hole MMC, and these two are both fiesty AF. I think I have a new favorite Paisley couple! Mia and Aiden are completely unhinged in their own unique ways, I love them. And this had the most interesting first time story I’ve ever heard 👀 it was a bit of a slow burn, but once they started, whew 😅 I just love how dark and gritty this series is. The tension and chemistry were explosive, the story was addictive, and I love the way everything played out.

Paisley’s epilogues are my favorite! She always gets me there, they’re so special!

Title: Foxx
Author: Paisley Hope
Series: The Soldiers of Bedlam, 3

What to expect:
*Motorcycle Club romance
*Enemies to Lovers
*Alligator voyeurism 🫣

Foxx is my new favorite MC President!!

What started out as revenge and lies, soon turns into protection and love! I love that the main characters actually had conversations with each other, and didn’t just assume they knew the truth about past events.

Very well written and highly recommended! Not absolutely necessary to start with book one, but it does make the story and relationships flow better.

Safety:
No OW/OM drama in the form of jealousy, a lot of drama in the form of on page violence. No third act breakup, guaranteed HEA.

ARC & ALC Review

What’s bigger than infinity? Whatever it is, that’s what this book & audio deserves because OH. MY. GOODNESS. I absolutely loved it

Foxx as a character… wow. He’s the perfect morally-grey MC hero, he’s protective, ruthless, and intimidating on the outside, even to Mia at times but it’s clear that’s she’s the only one that could bring this beast of a man to his knees. When I grow up, I want to be Mia, she is such a badass FMC, she’s strong, determined, and walking into a world that could destroy her just to get answers about her sister.

It’s fair to say I’m already obsessed with this story, but listening to it took everything to another level. Samantha and Jason brought this world to life.
Samantha embodied Mia perfectly. You could hear every bit of her fierce energy, sharp wit, sassy comebacks, and heartbreaking grief. Mia is such a layered character, and Samantha captured every facet of her beautifully. She’s quickly becoming one of my all time favourite FMCs. As for Aiden MF Foxx, I genuinely feel like the role was made for Jason Clarke. He is Aiden Foxx. From the gruff exterior and commanding presence to the fierce loyalty and possessiveness he has for Mia, Jason absolutely owned this character.

Honestly, I cannot say this enough, I love this book. And after listening to the audiobook, I dare say it might be one of my favourite reads of the year. For sure the alligator scene will forever live rent free in my dang head!

Paisley absolutely nailed it, but let’s be honest whatever she writes is pure gold. It’s why she will forever be on my auto buy list.
