Ace

Hounds of Hellfire MC #10

by Fiona Davenport

Colter “Ace” Maddigan didn’t gamble on anything he couldn’t control. Until a bubbly compliance assistant crashed into the grumpy biker’s world and rewrote the odds. Now the Hounds treasurer was all in.

Poppy Fairbanks always thought she was too much, but Ace acted like she’s exactly what was missing from his life. And when Poppy ended up in someone’s crosshairs, Ace was more than ready to show them how far he’d go to protect his woman.

Such an easy story to love!

As we know with this club, one look, and it's game on!

Ace wasn't looking for anything but answers when he strode into the building, but there she was, and his heart screamed "MINE."

That's the best part about this club... they lose their hearts and the priority is protection, claiming, and there is no room for distractions! She is moved in, claimed, and pregnant in no time, just like all the others.

Oh - and the dangers she faces? Yeah, no.
Nobody threatens his woman.
Handled. Permanently.

Poppy is adorable and loves the steamy chemistry and possessive behaviors that Colton lavished on her. I loved the intrigue and the actions the guys take, to ensure everyone's safety.

Please read in order for the best experience. It's an easy binge read that I recommend.

Sweet Read

Ace’s story starts with an instaeverything bang and keeps the drama low. The angst is nonexistent, so this is definitely a good read for you anxiety readers.

The spice was delicious and started early in the book. I loved Ace, and Poppy is definitely relatable for those of us who have been told we are too much.

This was a great book with a protective, possessive ace (colter), a biker who is in fianance but also is great at cards. He’s instantly saying poppy another finance girl is his. I will say I thought and sort of wish ace’s girl was someone in the card dealing world instead of the finance side but this was still another great book by fiona davenport with a possessive guy with insta love and no ow drama or club girls.

As I’ve said Ace deals with the clubs finances and sees where someone is testing their boundaries and traces it back to a company that actually rents a building from them. He goes and is directed to a junior associate, you guessed right, is poppy. He’s instantly in love with how she’s always talking and has something to say. Even though she’s a little insecure about it as people all say she’s too much. Ace says she’s just right and asks her on a date. They go and their connection is great and it leads them to the bed room 😏👀 Of course she is a virgin but ace is not a man hoe so it’s perfect.

Instantly poppy is basically moved in with him 😂. Okay not instant but ace slowly moves her in with him. Then Ace figures out that who ever is trying to set poppy up to make it look like she’s doing it. Sketchy people visited her at work and of course Ace has to visit them back to send a message. Then they go take care of business and make sure the other company is burnt to the ground.

This was a great book with some insta love, spicy times, and a possessive guy who only cares about our girl and some added action with the club. It ends in the way that poppy is expecting and introduces the next book. I loved it as usual with fiona davenport.

Ace was slightly unhinged when it came to Poppy in all the best ways! He was so obsessed with her but in a way that made her the center of his universe while building up her confidence in herself. She thought she was too much, but he listened to everything she said and then made it happen. He took her protection very seriously as well, I think he was more angry about her safety being questioned than the hits to the club. He wasted no time in making her his and orchestrating their life together well before she even caught onto it. He never questioned her loyalty once, not even for a second, he was perfection! Poppy was so sweet and had felt like a burden her whole life, so Ace and all his intensity for her was exactly what she needed in her life. No cheating or OM/OW drama, virgin FMC, lite breeding kink/no condoms, dual POV, HEA and 2 of the most adorable epilogues in the future. Cannot wait to read Rebel and Clara's story! I was hoping she would get a Hound too, but I feel like she's going to give him a run for his money!

You Are Never Too Much!

The tenth book in the Hounds of Hellfire MC series is called "Ace," and I absolutely adored it! The connection between Ace and Poppy is such a sweet insta-love story—they make a really adorable couple. Of all the characters, I relate to Poppy the most. I’ve always been told that I talk too much or that I’m just too much for anyone to handle, which can be tough to hear. That’s why I love how Colter “Ace” sees Poppy for who she truly is right from the beginning and wants to embrace her just the way she is. Their chemistry is so intense and absolutely sizzling!

When Poppy is unfairly set up at work and finds herself in danger, Ace and his brothers rally together to protect their loved ones. It’s so heartwarming to see that support! This book is definitely a must-read in the series, and I’m super excited for the next one!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love being the Hounds of Hellfire MC world. And Ace doesn't disappoint in the steam and drama levels we've come to love from them.

What to expect
♥️ Morally Grey and Protective MMC
♥️ Age Gap Romance
♥️ Dual POV
♥️ Interlinking Characters
♥️ Interconnected Standalone
♥️ Touch Her and ☠️
♥️ Steamy Scenes
♥️ Smart and Sweet FMC
♥️ He Falls Hard and Fast
♥️ HEAs

Ace gives us Poppy and Ace/Colter where some unexplained attempted security breaches on the Hounds Bank accounts lead Ace to Poppy. And let's just say he falls hard and fast (is there any other way with these men) and makes sure Poppy knows she's his, and he's hers.

Brilliant read, I've loved all the Hounds books. I'm excited for Rebels story next if his meet cute is anything to go by it's going to be chemistry overload.

[Jennifer Brewster · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved Loved Loved Colter & Poppy so much!!!! These two were so easy to fall in love with. From Poppy's nervous chatter to the way Colter eased her nerves and showed her that she was not "too much" and she was just enough for the right person.

Coming back to a Hounds of Hellfire book is like coming home. These tough men fall fast and hard for their women and Colter / Ace was no exception. After some unexplained attempted security breaches on their accounts, Ace goes into to do some recon where he meets a junior compliance analyst Poppy.

This read was perfectly paced and plenty of heat to keep you turning the pages. I loved how Colter basically moved Poppy into his house without her even realizing it. I can't wait for Rebel's story next. If the meet cute between him and Clara are anything to go by, he is in for one heck of a ride.

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ace handles the finances for the MC so when he realizes that someone is trying to breach their account he is determined to find out who is behind it. His search brings him to the company where Poppy works and once he sees her information isn’t the only thing he wants from her.

Poppy was stunned by Ace and couldn’t believe he was interested in her as she believes she is an acquired taste. When she finds herself in a difficult situation he is there to protect her and ensure that she doesn’t become the scapegoat for other people’s actions.

The chemistry between them is intense and the romance is enchanting as Ace is both possessive and unwavering in his support of Poppy while Poppy finds the home she has always wanted within the MC.

[BecReadReview · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ace is hot, sexy, steamy, and undeniably cute. Watching Ace become completely smitten with Poppy is half the fun. Poppy’s sweet, flustered, and chatty nature makes her instantly endearing, and it’s easy to see why Ace becomes so fiercely protective of her—you feel it too while reading.

Their chemistry is full of playful sparks, and the banter keeps things lively throughout the story. As always, the brotherhood shines with their loyalty, humor, and unwavering support. Add in the old ladies and the kids, and the sense of family and love within the group makes the whole story even more enjoyable.

Ace: Hounds Of Hellfire MC Fiona Davenport

Insta was right Colter (Ace) meets Poppy qnd knows she is the one. He has her moved in and connected to him before she even knows it. I always love this duos motorcycle romances. They are all “mine” possessive biker when it comes to the one they want as their ol lady. Poppy was all sweetness and I loved that he loved every part of her and built her back up.

2 Things You Never Touch; a Hounds Money or his Woman !

Ace/Colter and Poppy’s story is a hot and sexy filled romp in the Hounds of Hellfire MC Series. We get to see Ace in his element:numbers & computers and Poppy fits just fine with him. And in true Hound fashion he knocks her up in less than 3 weeks beating King and Stella’s previous record ( I think ), lol. Lot’s of misadventure trying to head off a hostile takeover of their financial information by an outside firm, that soon learns the error of it’s ways at the hands of Ace, Blaze and a few others. Best news is Poppy’s best friend is the next female to catch a Hounds attention. 5✨’s

[Didi · Rating 4 out of 5]

The tenth book in the Hounds of Hellfire MC features Colter “Ace” Maddigan and Poppy Fairbanks. Can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the previous books to enhance this one. Ace falls instantly for the young woman he comes across in a financial investigation. I loved how he made Poppy feel perfect for who she was. Of course, the spice was spicin’ and the possessiveness was perfection. And when the danger threatens one of theirs, the HOHMC men and women rally to protect. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Cannot wait for the next in this series about Rebel.

[Mary Pack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh, I enjoyed this book. It's an instant love story that takes a couple of hours. But it's well written. It contains everything, spice, HEA, danger, protective MMC, and surprise, not so surprising pregnancy. Which makes Ace and his club brothers even more protective. Poppy is a junior compliance officer and when Ace, the financial officer for the MC, noticed someone trying to take small sums of money, he goes to see about it but meets Poppy, his future old lady. When the bad guys try to get her tangled up in their mess, well the MC doesn't like it and well you need to see how the MC handles it.

[Oriana Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

And another Hound fell head over heels for his woman😏 Ace is the clubs financial guy and when he sees that someone tries to break into their accounts discreetly...he investigates. That's when he runs into junior analyst Poppy. The sweet, bubbly and innocent knocks him on his butt and he instantly knows she is His. Poppy and Ace fell hard and fast and their HEA was kind of a fast paced whirlwind 😉. And when someone tries to threaten his woman a storm breaks loose and nothing and nobody can stop Ace from keeping his woman
safe and happy.😍 Instalove, sweet, steamy, romantic and safe with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍

FABULOUS!!!!

I’m so loving this series
Each time a new book comes out I say” this is my favorite “!! I love Poppy and Ace, their chemistry is hot right from the beginning to the very end! One thing I love about this author is she writes her main male characters they’re so domineering, possessive, toucher, and you d*** , they would do anything for their woman. They’re loving , protective. And their club is their family and they’ll do anything for their club. Their women are strong independent may be a little damsel in distress, but it doesn’t knock them down. Incredible book absolutely loved it.

[Melissa Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Hounds of Hellfire MC men falls hard and fast for their woman. Ace was investigating a threat when he meets sweet Poppy. Poppy has always been told she's too much. I found her character adorable especially her rambling when she's nervous. Ace 'Colter" loves Poppy just the way she is. Ace is the finance guy for Hounds of Hellfire MC and he has no trouble doing what needs to be done to protect Poppy. Love the interactions with Poppy and the other "old ladies". Fiona Davenport writes endearing MC lite reads that give you just enough of the biker world. Good addition to the series.

[Carrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Poppy & Colter move fast! 😄 Ace walks into her office, asks her to dinner, & she's moved in 3.5 seconds later. It's great! Especially bc she doesn't realize that's what's happened until like a month later & when she does realize it, it's super cute. 🩷🩷🩷

I loved their connection & fun they have with each other. They're quite 🌶🔥🌶🔥 as well. 😊

We get to catch up with a bunch of our couples & their kiddos at a nice club BBQ & we get some excellent banter with the guys. Always makes me smile!! And I LOL'd at the preview for the next couple! 😄🩷😄🩷

😍😍😍

[Nicole M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great minds think alike because Ace and I are on the same page... Poppy is a lot in the best possible way. She reminded me so much of me in ways that at one point I hated about myself (because the world told me I should), but have come to embrace and love. I loved her innocence in this story. I loved how the girls just scooped her up and accepted her. I loved the way the guys rallied together, as they always do. I loved the chemistry and heat between Colter 🫠 and Poppy. They were just a delight and I can't wait to see Rebel come undone.

[Whiskers & Waffles · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ace & Poppy

Wow! Do these guys move fast or what!? The phrase “when you know, you know” should be their motto. With one look, they see and they know and then they will move mountains to claim what’s theirs. Ace lives up to the challenge when he makes Poppy his. She is so sweet and so obviously meant to be Ace’s. Loved their story! Very steamy! 🔥 So happy to know there’s another story coming. I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to this club!

Ace/Colter and Poppy's story is easy to love. Ace, the grumpy, biker who thrives on control. Then theres Poppy who thinks she's too much and talks too much. Even her own family thinks so. Not Ace though, he thinks she's perfect just the way she is and wouldn't want her any other way *swoon*.
As always, the spice is spicing, theres the perfect sense of drama and mystery brought to the story, and what we all love, a good sprinkling of "mine" mixed in. 🥵

This is book 10 of the Hounds of Hellfire MC series and is about the Hounds treasurer, Ace and his woman Poppy.
Poppy is bubbly and sweet and talks a lot while Ace is grumpy, barely talks and gets annoyed a lot but with Poppy..it’s the opposite, he can’t listen to her enough. They have a lot in common because they both work with numbers. And that’s how they met.
When the numbers don’t add up and Poppy seems to be the blame, will Ace figure out what’s goin on? Will Poppy be able to prove she has nothing to do with it? Will they get their happily ever after?

First of all - the cover is AMAZING!!!!! Love it. This duo keeps writing the best MC books. I love the Hounds of Hellfire!

Ace is all in with one look at Poppy and I love how protective he is of her. He's not overbearing but protective and falls sooo fast. Poppy is a chatting catty and very sweet. The connection that they share is adorably cute, sexy, and undeniable. Great read!

Thank you to the authors for the advanced copy, the review is mine.

Never Too Much

Ace aka Colter finds someone electronically testing the accounts of the Hounds and immediately jumps on the issue. When he goes to the compliance firm it traces back to he meets Poppy and immediately knows she is his and claims her and moves her in that day, subtly of course. But as his investigation continues he learns the culprits are try to set up Poppy and Ace having none of that in this exciting read.

Ace, the treasurer for the MC club, spots someone probing the MC finances. He discovers a new compliance officer at a company in town who he is immediately struck by—and he wastes no time by inviting her to dinner. And much more. 🔥

Ace keeps investigating the financial issues and realizes that Poppy is being set up by someone after the club. And he’s not about to let that happen.

Loved the epilogue that hints to the next MC book!

Ace and Poppy’s story was so good!
Poppy is such a lovable character, especially with her fear of always being *too much*.
The love and chemistry between Ace and Poppy are amazing, and seriously hot.

Ace would do anything for Poppy, just like all the Hounds do for their old lady. I also love the suspense in these books and how characters from earlier stories return. Such a great series!

Another Hounds of Hellfire brother meets his match in this lovely read. Yes, there is a threat against Poppy, but the majority of the read is focused on the relationship between Ace and Poppy. They clicked at first meeting, and it only got more intense after that. They totally accept each other, flaws and all which makes for a great read!

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Are you a believer in love at first sight?
Well, this story may just convince you!
Or it will for a few hours at least! LOL!

Thank goodness Colter, "Ace, is there when Poppy needs protection!
Who better to provide that, than the man who has fallen so hard for her!

Loved Poppy! A breath of fresh air! She definitely made me smile!
Believe me, Colter did too!
