Loreena & Maverick: a romance about healing, love and moving forward!
This series has the most heartfelt books, I swear! Each story focuses mainly on the main MC’s internal struggles and the ways they can overcome them – the club is a big supporter in that journey. But each story is unique, different and totally gripping! This one was no exception. Loreena and Maverick “meet” in a very unconventional way; they become pen-pals while Maverick is in prison with a ten-year sentence. His crime: using his computing skills to play vigilante against a crime organization, and justice decided that his crime was more serious, instead. The letters Loreena and he exchange become his lifeline and ground him. So, when he is released and settles at Hart with the help of his cousin Scythe (the Satan’s Angels MC Enforcer – and the most intuitive and sensitive person one can get, surprisingly – I can’t wait for his story), he goes straight to find her. But Loreena fights a battle of her own. She suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia, a result of a brutal assault. Maverick is determined to help her and she is determined to help herself. The journey to healing is not an easy one – for both of them, because the scars run deep. I loved their soul-deep connection and how they become shelter for one another. This was truly a very touching story that I absolutely recommend. 5 stars.

One thing that propels me to give a book five stars is the depth of feeling it invokes. This book made me feel: triumph and disappointment, joy and sadness, outrage, mercy, and sweet contentment.
The heroine, Loreena, has agoraphobia. I have read many books, and I have never read a book that portrayed agoraphobia more realistically than this one. I cried in empathy and frustration at one particular scene when she was so close to going outside and then couldn’t. When Maverick made her feel safe, my heart melted.
Maverick isn’t without his issues too. He spent the last ten years in prison and has dark times where he feels depressed and overwhelmed by his reintroduction into society.
The way that they complete each other is stunningly beautiful. They are soulmates, and not in a glib-description way. No, they actually fit so well that together they are greater than the sum of their parts.
I loved reading this book. Absolutely loved it, even when it made me cry. It made me feel good as much as it made me cry, and it touched my heart.
Book is SAFE.
Heat is EXPLICIT.
TRIGGERS include assault, depression, anxiety, injustice, violence, and kamikaze squirrels.
TROPES include Pen Pals, Ex-Convict, The Quality of Mercy, Forced Proximity, Friendly Kidnapping, Mental Illness Rep, Instalove.

Review of advance copy
Loreena, who has agoraphobia, starts a pen pal relationship with inmate Maverick. Maverick is released when his 10-year sentence is up. He goes to live with his cousin Scythe, who is a member of the Satan's Angels MC. Maverick decides to visit Loreena in Seattle to try to help her since she helped him with her letters while he was in jail. Maverick decides to take drastic action and comes up with a plan to "kidnap" Loreena and take her back to Scythe's place to try and help her get over her phobia. Lily gives you all the feels with two broken people trying to help fix each other and themselves. Will Maverick be able to help Loreena overcome her phobia and find the reason behind it? Will they ever get their HEA?
I recieved an ARC from Booksprout for my voluntary, honest review for NN Book Blog. Although this is part of the Satan's Angels MC series, Maverick is not part of the club. But the club is heavily involved in helping Maverick and Loreena. Lily keeps you turning the pages with their struggles, and that twist that you didn't see coming.

Loreena is an attorney that has one problem she is agoraphobic, has been since the assault she suffered in college. She has not left her apartment in years and her family does not understand. She has a pen pal who is serving a ten year sentence for a Robin Hood crime. The pair become close over years of communication. Maverick is grounded by the communication with the Loreena and cannot wait to meet her once he is released.
Maverick is the cousin of Scythe, the enforcer for the Satan's Angels MC, he has opened his home to him on his release. Maverick is determined to help Loreena, kidnaps her and brings her back to Scythe's house, where is he is staying.
I loved these two, both had their own issues with keeping people out. How they evolve over the course of the story is heartwarming. This is a great fit to the series.

In ‘Maverick’, authors Lily L James and Sarina Hart have gifted us an emotionally charged love story about two fractured souls, that find each other by chance, each feels they aren’t enough, yet they’re still drawn to each other … This is a fantastic book.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Loved Lorena and Maverick’s story ( especially since he wasn’t a Saran’s Angels at the beginning of the book , and the club still rallied around them both !! Agoraphobia is no joke ! I suffered from it in 2021-2022, after the loss of my sister and Covid . It took my whole family and friends, therapist and medical professionals to get me through it and living in the real world again. Kudos to Lily L. James for writing such an amazing story. I’m not sure what I’d have done if a friend did what Maverick did, but it made for a fantastic storyline. 5✨’s for a heartwarming story full of hope. No insta cure.

Review of advance copy
Maverick is book 11 in the Satan's Angels MC series and is Maverick and Loreena's story. It's highly emotional and I felt every single bit of it too. This is a pen pal/inmate story so the couple gets to know each other through letters. I've never read a story where this was the case and I was very intrigued with how it played out. Loreena's an attorney attorney and Maverick is the man she's been writing and getting to know. My heart broke for both of this couple in so many ways. They've suffered tremendously and still after everything neither of them feel worthy. I completely enjoyed Maverick and Loreena's journey from start to finish!
Review of advance copy
Maverick and Loreena is a quietly powerful story about two broken souls finding purpose through words before they ever find each other. Maverick, newly released from prison, and Loreena, a brilliant lawyer living with severe agoraphobia, form a pen-pal connection that becomes a lifeline for them both. Their relationship grows with honesty, patience, and emotional depth, showing how healing often begins with being truly seen. This is a heartfelt story of struggle, hope, forgiveness, and, above all, a hard-won and deeply meaningful love.

Maverick and Loreena
I read a lot of MC romance books and I don’t think I’ve read a book like this one with a person with agoraphobia. It starts with Loreena who is a lawyer stricken with this condition. She has found a prison pen pal with Maverick and this serves as the one thing that they both can hold onto. After Maverick gets out of prison he does something unexpected and Loreena and Maverick form a bond filled with patience and knowing what the other needs.
I loved watching these two broken people be able to find the peace they needed to heal and find their HEA.

This was another engaging addition to the series and I found it a really heartwarming romance. Loreena may be a lawyer but she's got agoraphobia. She takes up being a pen pal with an inmate, Maverick. She does help get him free and he, in turn wants to help her, as well. These two are rather broken but I love how they got to know each other via their letters, rather than after they met. Expect to be swept up in all the emotions, hope, forgiveness and love as these two journey to their HEA. I loved it!

Loreena is a lawyer with agoraphobia. Maverick is her pen pal and inmate. He is released and meets her.
This was a lovely story of two broken people. Their evolution to their HEA is characterized in the book. It is a journey filled with deeply felt emotions and you feel what it took them to get there.

This story was so good. I loved that Loreena helped Maverick through his darkest times in prison by way of communicating through letters. And how she helped set him free since she was a lawyer. The was wonderful and endearing. But Loreena’s agoraphobia was keeping her trapped in her home. For Maverick to want to hell her through the was absolutely amazing. This was emotional but a very sweet read. I loved it so much.

'Pen-pal romance. Broken heroine. Alpha biker who won’t walk away.'
The plot was intriguing and well paced. World building continues to excel and impress. The characters drove the storyline and they were so very appealing and complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this series.

I love Lily's writing, no matter what. This book makes me feel seen. I have PTSD and I know how it feels to be trapped in your own head, and subsequently in your own home. Scared to leave because it might hurt. How healing is sometimes just adapting to the new person the trauma has left behind.

This had so many emotions throughout it! I love the bond they built as penpals and how they stood together to fight their demons togyonce he was out. A part of her healing process had me going "uh why? And no!" But once through it, I understood the reason why it was done. Fun humor and the cats win favorite characters.

Emotional story. Loreen is agoraphobic and Maverick has been in jail for ten years. They have been penpals for four years and when they meet there is a connection. Maverick is determined that Loreen is going to get her life back and Loreen is going to help Maverick adjust to being free. This book is full of emotions as two people learn to trust each other. The emotions revealed are amazing and heartbreaking, but the story ends with a happy ending. I enjoyed reading this book.
