Jaxon

by Cami Carlisle

A steamy, protective Daddy romance with romantic suspense, a dangerous second chance, and a possessive hero who will burn the world for his girl.

Eight years ago, the General framed him and stole his freedom. Now Jaxon is out, harder, darker, and more possessive than ever.
When the same man who destroyed his life sets his sights on Tazzy — the sweet, fiery woman who waited for him — Jaxon will stop at nothing to keep her safe. She’s his Darkling. His second chance. His to protect, cherish… and claim.
But the General doesn’t play fair.
He’s already proven he can get close enough to touch her. This time, Jaxon won’t lose what’s his. Even if it means becoming the monster they both fear.

I just finished Jaxon and it was more than I ever could have hoped for. Anyone who has read the series knows that Sabre has been trying to overturn Jaxon’s conviction and get him home, knowing he’s been innocent of fabricated crimes. Each book digs at the reader a little deeper, as we learn more about the missing Sabre brother and wish for nothing more than for him to be free as we turn each page. From the beginning of this book, we’re finally given the story of how Sabre evolved; as a way to save their brother, Jaxon. The emotions of the guys, especially Reid, as he’s talking to Jaxon before his conviction are raw, and the reader feels just as angry, shocked and hopeless as Reid. Jaxon is finally released and we see how much he has changed from the cool, calm, and pristine man he was before prison into a man with sharper edges who lets his possessiveness and darkness seep through to protect the woman he loves. The love story of Tazzy and Jaxon was heartbreaking and beautiful. Tazzy had so many protective walls due to Jaxon’s rejection, but still loved him, and Jaxon was determined to break through those walls to find his little girl and finally be able to tell her the true story of why he stayed away. I loved that Tazzy and Jaxon were able to reconnect early in the book and face their troubles together after having been apart for so long. My only complaint is that there was no epilogue as I always feel a story is incomplete without one. Other than that, this was a definite five stars.

What a fabulous book I couldn’t put it down at all I have been curious about Jaxon from the beginning of this epic series and let me just say it was definitely worth the wait. Not only does it uncovered more of the mystery behind the bad guys and so many answers we finally get to know Jaxon and his feisty girl on a more personal level. One of the things I loved most about this book was how no matter the time apart or how different they are they could still truly still be themselves no matter what or without judgement from each other. I felt like they helped one another a lot with outlets in so many ways! It’s left me with all the feelings my heart is so happy with the outcome for everyone involved. I can’t believe all the dangerous things that continue happening this is for sure an action packed event over and over again. Compared to what I would do in Jaxon situation I think he should get a medal for staying in one piece during all crap happening around him! I loved getting to know past and present versions of the mr and Mrs darkling they definitely keep each other on their toes! So many funny moments, heartwarming, conflict, enemies to lovers vibes! This story is so incredible well written plus has me mix feelings cause I don’t want the series to end!

Absolutely riveting! This story has it all! The entire series is incredible and I couldn’t wait for Jaxon’s story to be told. If you read the other books, and I highly recommend that you do, you know that Jaxon went to jail and left his beloved Tazzy, his Little girl behind. But when it comes to light what really happened, your mind will be blown. When, after eight long years, he comes back to Darling to find his Tazzy and to reclaim her, he did not expect what he found. Tazzy has definitely changed and he realizes he is going to have to show her he is back for good and wants to be her Daddy again. But will Tazzy make it easy for him? Highly doubtful! I love Tazzy with her sassy, beautiful, funny personality who brings love and happiness to all she knows. She loves Jaxon but he hurt her deeply and it will take a lot of groveling on his part to be able to be part of her heart again. These two made me laugh out loud so many times with their witty banter. And I loved how Tazzy kept him on his toes. When outside forces threaten both Tazzy and Jaxon, he will do anything to keep her safe and protected. Their chemistry is so sizzling I thought I would need a fire extinguisher to put out the flames coming off my Kindle! This story isn’t just about a Daddy and Little girl, it’s about a reclaiming and second chances for love. A truly delightful and delicious story! My heart is full of love for Jaxon and Tazzy!

What a great conclusion to the series. Jaxon and Tazzy had a past, before the General framed Jaxon and sent him to jail for eight years. When he's finally freed, his sprite has changed in his darkling, and Tazzy doesn't want to speak to him not knowing he denied her for the last eight years in order to protect her. But Jaxon has changed too and is no longer the straight arrow FBI agent he used to be. I loved that Tazzy didn't hold his decisions against him for very long once she learned the truth. And I loved that Jaxon accepted the changes in Tazzy and still loved her all the same. Lots of suspense and intrigue with the bad guys Sabre have been fighting, but a good conclusion and perhaps even a peak at a spin off series (hint, hint). Tazzy and Jaxon get the HEA they both deserve.

This is hands down my favorite Cami Carlisle book! I’ve been waiting for Jaxon’s story, and it exceeded every single expectation.

After eight long years in prison, Jaxon is finally back home in Darling and he’s ready to reclaim his girl. No matter what it takes, he’s determined to have Tazzy again.

The journey these two have been through absolutely broke my heart. Their story is intense, emotional, and packed with action, keeping me hooked from beginning to end.

I was lucky to receive an ARC for this book and let me tell you the wait for Jaxon's story was well worth it. Jaxon and Tazzy were in a relationship before he was set up and sent to prison. Their story is intense but so rewarding when they get their HEA. I love this series so much but Jaxon will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends. This was a perfect ending for this fantastic series and I really hope that somewhere down the line we get to visit these characters again.

Cami once again has blown me away with her story weaving and world creating!!
This is book we all have been waiting for since Hutch's book!!
Jaxon and Tazzy's story for me was the cream of the crop! They had to get through the back story to get their real true selves - individually and as a couple!!
Cami ties up all the loss the ends and gives them their HEA with a bow on top!!
I am so sad to see in the end of this series but I know that Cami begin a new world for us to fall in love with!!

I’m not ready for it to be over!!!

Sabre Security is God Tier DD/lg! Every book in the series just got better leading up to the long awaited Jaxon. He was everything I wanted and everything Tazzy deserved. She watched her friends fall one after the other and it broke my heart! I love her spooky dark soul and Jaxon matches her perfectly. Please tell me we still see them in the crossover! Bring on Ravage!

Romance & Ruin

Jaxon provides answers to the questions we've been asking throughout the series. The bonus chapter gives us a glimpse into her new series, featuring Ravage & His new MC. This is my favourite of the series. Tazzy & her Little friends get into shenanigans. The danger is real, as is the romance.

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great finish

Loved this book to pieces. The ending was so good and satisfying. Jaxon got his little back, and even though both had changed in the eight years they both had a darkness that had changed them for the better.
And as for the general, well he got his just deserts well and truly.

I absolutely loved this book. I love how you got to see how Jaxon and Tazzy changed over the years. I felt like it was a new beginning for them and loved watching that develop! This was such a great read that had me laughing and feeling sad. The spice was on point too!

[M Leonard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it

The last book in the Series was absolutely fantastic and was the best. All the characters from the first books were in this last book and it was awesome.
I can't wait to see what Cami brings in the future.

Absolutely wonderful resolution of the Sabre security story. Jaxon’s redemption is fantastic. I am so happy that Tazzy got her happily ever after. This couple deserves their ending! Absolutely loved this story.

Long awaited

And so worth the wait.
Now onto Ravage and the mystery that is Lovie and Zane's mother...where will the series take us next?

[Shannon Bolton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great Sabre story. Jax and Tazzy had so much heartache and such a complicated past. Took some time to reach their hea. So many emotions with this one. A++++

[Prue M · Rating 5 out of 5]

After so many years in jail the freedom afterward and the longing he has for his little girl only to be met with a the force of a hurricane of little fury. Love how no matter how hard she pushes him away he comes back over and over again. Love the love story between them both and the action we packed drama included! Much love for this book!!

I’ve been privileged to be a ARC reader and have voluntarily leaving this review.

I have just finished reading this wonderful story of heartbreak and lasting love and it wrung all of my emotions in a spectacular way. The love and deep feelings from Jaxon and Tazzy, his Darkling, leap from the pages and grab you by the throat.
You invest in their trials and tribulations as you read and clap with glee as they surmount so much.
I particularly liked how at least one of the super villians of this series get what is coming to him.
Brilliant 👏
