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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you to Edelweiss, the author, and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the opportunity to read and review this title!

Format: Edelweiss ebook
Genre: Contemporary, romance
Overall score:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice level:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
POV’s: Emilia “Mia” (FMC) & Aiden “Foxx” (MMC)

Foxx by Paisley Hope eARC Review 🧡

Paisley never misses. I ate this one up and left absolutely no crumbs. The second I started this one I was so invested and didn’t want to put the book down.

Aiden and Mia are it. The banter. The tension. The hatred turned so much more. The chemistry. The push and pull and the power dynamic between them is everything and kept me wanting more. They are both a little unhinged and they truly make a perfect match, it just takes them a while to figure it out.

The entire plot of this story is everything and keeps you on your toes. The ride that this book takes you on will be one that you don’t want to get off of.

What to expect:
Age gap
Rival mc clubs
Her plan is to unalive him for revenge
Ruthless club president
Found club family
Virgin FMC

Thank you so much Paisley for an arc!

ALC Review - June 2026
This was my second time reading Foxx, and it was already an infinity star book for me. But in audio? What's bigger than infinity? Whatever it is, that's what this audiobook deserves because OH. MY. GOODNESS. I absolutely loved this. It's fair to say I'm already obsessed with this story, but listening to it took everything to another level. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke brought their A-game and completely 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. There isn't a single doubt in my mind that he was the perfect choice for the role. Together, they completely nailed it. But it's not just they're portrayal of Aiden and Mia that blew me away, but also the side character's they portrayed. They brought to life all their personalities, individualities and accents that made it such an interactive-esque (is that a thing?) listen.
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!


ARC Review - March 2026
This was an ∞ star read for me. I’m completely obsessed! This story follows Aiden Foxx, the ruthless president of the Disciples of Sin motorcycle club and a former Navy SEAL whose world is flipped upside down when Mia Tyler walks into his bar. Mia isn’t just a mysterious woman with secrets, she’s tied to a rival club and hiding a dangerous agenda of her own. What starts as suspicion and tension quickly turns into something explosive between them. The enemies-to-lovers tension in this book was absolutely unreal. From the very first interaction between Foxx and Mia, the chemistry was intense, sharp, and completely addictive. Every scene between them felt charged with danger and desire, and I loved how their relationship slowly shifted from distrust to something deeper and far more emotional.
Foxx as a character… wow. He’s the perfect morally-grey MC hero, he’s protective, ruthless, and intimidating on the outside, but with just enough vulnerability underneath to make your heart ache. Mia 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. The motorcycle club world feels gritty and dangerous, the stakes are high, and the emotional moments hit just as hard as the action and spice. This had everything I want in a MC romance, it was gripping, addictive, emotional, and impossible to put down with the most delicious MMC, YEP Foxx officially owns a permanent spot in my book boyfriend hall of fame. Paisley absolutely nailed it with this one, but let’s be honest whatever she writes is pure gold. It’s why she will forever be on my auto buy list.
Huge thank you for this ARC opportunity

I’m going to start this off by saying, please check the trigger warnings. There’s a lot of heavy topics.

🏍️slutty glasses
🏍️”little goddess”
🏍️”Rhiannon”
🏍️pierced peen
🏍️boss/employee
🏍️secret identity
🏍️bourbon
🏍️spitting
🏍️breeding
🏍️squirting
🏍️belt (handcuffs)
🏍️hand necklaces
🏍️knife play
🏍️age gap
🏍️rival clubs

First there was Wolf.e and I loved every moment. And then there was Dove, and I loved every moment. When I tell you, Foxx just hit so good.

“All of this mess for the man you tried so hard to fucking hate.”

There is a thin line between hate and lust. When Mia (Mason Tyler’s sister, the Sergeant at Arm’s for the Hounds of Hell) walks in Aiden’s strip club, looking for the man who ruined her sisters life, she didn’t expect Aiden Foxx (the President of the Disciples of Sin motorcycle club) to own the club. Mia’s mission is to find out who was third man who ruined her sister’s life, and hopes it’s not the man she wants, Aiden.

Holy Aiden Foxx, I was not ready for this. Once again, I was hooked from the beginning, and could not let go. All of it. Mia is fierce and out for revenge. Aiden knows Mia is lying about who she is. The banter was amazing. Mia was not backing down.

Also… did I get a little teary eyed? Yes. Don’t judge me.

The tension leading up, so fantastic. The spice. I mean did you see the list?!? Aiden Foxx is everything and Mia is the one that gets him there.

What to Expect:
Motorcycle Club
Forced Proximity
Age Gap
Forbidden (Rival Clubs)
Hate to Love
Hidden Identity

Move over Wolf, there's a new prez in town and Aiden Foxx is everything I want in a MC president. Foxx is a fantastic edition to the Soldiers of Bedlam series and I could not get enough of the dynamics between Mia and Aiden.

When Mia decides to go undercover in a rival motorcycle club's gentleman's club, she does not expect to immediately run into the club's president. The very same president who she is trying to investigate undercover, believing he has something to do with her sister's death. But Aiden Foxx can immediately tell that Mia is hiding something and is determined to uncover her secrets while trying to ignore his attraction to his newest employee.

This book is delicious from the first page. Mia is a badass character and was more than willing to go toe to toe with Aiden. I could not get enough of the way she pushed Aiden and defied him at almost every turn. And Aiden, this man was a morally grey wet dream. He is obsessive, protective and willing to do just about anything for those in his care. Even as he is trying to find out Mia's secrets, he was magnetic and only soft for her.

This story is what I come to expect from Paisley: full of emotion, spice and twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat. I loved every moment of this book and cannot wait for the next time we get to visit! Thank you so much to Paisley, her team, Sourcebooks and Netgalley for the early copy of Foxx.

I’m at a loss for words right now because wow!! Paisley well and truely blew my mind with this book and saying i’m obsessed is an understatement. Foxx is officially my favourite of the series and I couldn’t get enough of this book.

Mia and Aiden OMG, these two were absolute fire. The banter from their first meeting was elite. I couldn’t get enough of these two and found myself laughing out loud at some scenes, the chemistry was 🔥

Paisley always delivers with the spice but there’s some that will live rent free in my head, the bourbon scene 🥃🐱🥵. But the 🐊 scene 👀 what the helly! My brain chemistry has been altered and what a man Aiden Foxx is 🥵 Seriously the mouth on this man, I was sweating and eating up every minute of it 🥵👌🏼

Mia the FMC, wow. I fell in love with her right away. Her fiery personality stood out immensely and I loved it when she put Foxx in his place, he’d never had that before and what a woman she is. I found pieces of myself in Mia and this is why I felt connected to her and loved her immediately.

Aiden the MMC, 😭 This man is seriously everything. He’s the most unhinged man Paisley has written so far, the things he did for Mia had me melting. He was so protective over her the whole entire time so there’s just something about a rival club relationship that has me weak in the knees.

The whole plot and twists had me on the edge of my seat. There was a twist that had my jaw on the floor, never saw that coming 😮 I never found myself bored and applaud Paisley for the masterpiece she has created. I couldn’t fault this book if I tried and i’ll be thinking about these two for so long. The epilogue had me thinking…a second gen? 👀🤭 That would be elite hehhe.

Thankyou so much Paisley for the ARC, so blessed to read your work early and what a book this was!

Foxx is out July 14th everywhere 💛

No notes, pure Paisley Hope perfection, like always.

What I love most in this series is the women. (Don’t get me wrong, I love the guys too, I mean Sean is instantly in love AND cooks and cleans for her and the way Aiden treats the women who work for him is an example of how respectful he is.)
But all the women in this series are so fierce and not afraid to speak their minds and own their desires, they are strong and show you do not need to change (for) a man to accept and love each other

Mia is so though, even though she is scared she is willing to do whatever it takes to get her revenge.
The back and forth banter between Mia and Aiden was pure perfection and full of sparks.

This story is a perfect mix of a great (love) story, a viking of a man with a heart of gold and a fierce goddess who is his perfect match, both verbally and physically plus there is spice and suspense, it had me at the edge of my seat.

5⭐️ (ARC) This was my favourite in the series! Paisley Hope does it again. I didn’t actually like motorcycle club books until I started this series and now I don’t think anything else will compare. Foxx is to die for (maybe literally 😉) I was engaged the entire time from beginning to epilogue. Mia and Adrian were unexpected and thrilling to say the least. I’m going to think about some of the happenings in this book for a long, long time. ❤️

Ohhhhh boy did Foxx deliver!!!

The way these two just needed someone to match their freak, and boy did they find it 🤌🥵

Mia is one feisty, strong little firecracker. The way she stands toe to toe with any man trying to bulldoze her 💪 my girl!!!

I LOVED the spice and the push and pull between Aiden & Mia, but the plot twisted in a way I didn’t expect and boyyyy was on the edge of my seat until the end!!!


Tropes:
• motorcycle club
• forced proximity
• age gap
• forbidden
• hate to love
• she's undercover
• the spice is SPOOOICYYY

March 15, 2026
I am a huge Paisley Hope fan. I genuinely don’t think people realize that I could probably post about her books every single day on my Instagram—but that might come across as mildly unhinged, so we try to pace ourselves. What I will say is that I absolutely love the way she writes. You could never convince me she writes a bad book. You can absolutely have your opinion, and I will respect it … but just know that in my mind that opinion is wrong. Respectfully.

So with that out of the way, let’s get into the non-spoiler review.

This is hands down my favorite book of the series.

I loved Mia from the moment we met her. She’s dealing with the very recent loss of someone close to her, and instead of letting grief swallow her whole, she channels it into something else entirely—finding the person responsible. Mia has this unstoppable spirit. She’s fierce, determined, and honestly a complete badass. From the second you meet her, you know she’s someone you shouldn’t underestimate.

From previous books we’ve followed the Hounds of Hell MC, and Mia has grown up around that world. But in this story she’s trying to get in with the Disciples of Sin, specifically Aiden Foxx, who just so happens to be the president of the club.

Through a few carefully pieced-together moments—including the bikes she keeps seeing—Mia manages to land herself a job at the club that Aiden owns. And like any MC story, danger is always lurking around every corner.

Right now though?

Mia’s biggest danger might actually be Aiden himself.

The funny thing is that Mia isn’t really scared of him. She knows what he’s capable of, but she refuses to be intimidated. In fact, I’m not even convinced she’s afraid of what he can do either. She just starts realizing that the things she was told about the club—and what she’s actually seeing—don’t quite line up. The girls working there are protected. There’s no exchanging money for services inside the club. They’re treated well and kept safe, which isn’t at all what Mia expected walking into this world.

There’s a scene in the clubhouse that had me laughing out loud because Mia’s defiance is legendary. That might honestly be the best word for it. She just gives absolutely zero f*cks, and for some reason that drives Aiden absolutely insane.

As the two of them are forced to work around each other, it becomes very obvious that there’s a lot more than tension brewing between them. That becomes especially clear when a less-than-pleasant member of another motorcycle club decides he wants Mia for himself … which kicks off this intense brat dynamic between Aiden and Mia, and it should be pointed out Mia is in fact the brat.

The best part?

Neither of them has the correct read on the other.

The story eventually leads to a cabin in the middle of the woods—and yes, there is an alligator involved. There are also a lot of pet names (which I personally love), a moment where Aiden absolutely loses his mind asking Mia why she’s doing what she’s doing, and why she didn’t bring up who she has hung out with in the past (I won’t spoil it, but if you read it you’ll know exactly the scene I’m talking about), a really meaningful bike run honoring someone who’s gone, and when they get to said destination…a cornfield with real life possibilities.

Tropes and elements you can expect:

• Age gap
• Rival MC tension
• Ruthless club president
• “He makes her his to protect” (swoon)
• Virgin heroine
• Found family
• Brat energy for sure
• Protective MMC energy

Honestly, in my opinion this is the perfect dark MC romance.

Do yourself a favor—read it, preorder it, and then join the rest of us in patiently waiting for the audiobook.

3.75⭐️/5 (rounded up to 4)

I would recommend this if you enjoy:
- MC romances
- Dark romances
- Age gap (22 x 35)
- Fiery FMCs
- Virgin heroines
- P!erced MMCs
- Forced proximity
- Spicy scenes

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book follows Mia and Aiden Foxx who meet when Mia takes a job at a bar so that she can find the last person involved with her sisters unaliving. Aiden is the club president and known to be scary and Mia catches his eye when she's in the dressing room.

I LOVE Paisley Hope's books and have loved the previous instalments in this series and was intrigued by Aiden's character from the mentions but after finishing it, it's sadly my least favourite in the series.

Aiden as an MMC was scary towards others but he fell a bit flat for me and was a bit creepy. In the dressing room at their first meeting, he touches her without asking and I didn't like that. There were a couple other moments but there were mostly positives. I did like how protective he was of Mia, how he wanted to her be okay and his mouth during spicy time was so hot. The later scenes with the tribute to her sister were so sweet and it showed that he really listened to her and I liked that.

Mia was such a great FMC. She was strong, fiesty and wasn't afraid of defying Aiden. Her quips were really entertaining as was the banter she had with him. I like that she could explore her darker desires with Aiden safely and he made her comfortable enough to do that. I preferred her in the beginning and end as in the middle it felt like she lost herself a bit, forgot her purpose and became so lust-filled for Aiden I craved seeing her fire again.

The spicy scenes were slightly reminiscent of previous books.. namely the ass stuff. I do think that the author is talented at writing engaging spicy scenes which I love and this couple definitely had a connection but their relationship felt way more physical than emotional and I would've loved more conversations of them getting to know one another. The part with Aiden and the alligator shocked me.

One thing I love about these books is the plots and the author did a great job at handling the darker themes. The plot twist with a side character did make me gasp and want to throw up at the same time. It connected to previous books so I'd recommend reading this series in order.

Gabriel's MC club is rivals with Aiden's but the respect and understand the two leaders came to was really nice to see. It showed growth and signified healing and I loved that. I also loved the cameos so much. I wanted there to be more as I love those characters (Gabriel, Brinley, Sean and Layla) and can't wait to be back with them again in the next book.

Overall, I would recommend this book and this series. It's one of my favourites and by one of my favourite authors so I'd re-read it as well. The acknowledgments mentioned Kai's book and I definitely want to pick up that book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ … and then some.

At this point, I’m genuinely concerned there are no stars left in the sky because Paisley Hope has stolen every single one of them for the Soldiers of Bedlam series.

And excuse me, Paisley… HOW did you make Foxx even better than the previous books?! Because somehow you’ve gone and delivered my favourite book of the entire series.

I would also like to formally submit a claim for heat damage to my AirPods because Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke absolutely set them on fire. Their narration wasn’t just good—it was an audiobook eargasm. The chemistry, the tension, the emotion, the attitude… every single scene was elevated by their performances. These two have become an elite narration duo and honestly, hearing them bring Aiden and Mia to life was pure perfection.

Now let’s talk about Mia.

This woman is chaos wrapped in determination and I loved her from the very first chapter. She’s grieving, she’s angry, she’s hunting for answers, and absolutely nobody is going to stand in her way. Least of all Aiden Foxx.

And Aiden?

Sweet lord above.

The man radiates dangerous motorcycle club president energy, but Mia walks into his life and proceeds to challenge him at every opportunity. Their push-and-pull dynamic fed my soul. She refuses to back down. He refuses to let her win. The banter, the tension, the arguments, the obsession… it was everything.

What I loved most was that neither of them truly understood the other at first. Mia arrives expecting a monster. Instead, she slowly discovers that not everything she’s been told is true. The women at the club are protected. The people around Aiden are loyal for a reason. And the more she learns, the blurrier the line becomes between revenge and something far more dangerous.

And honestly?

Mia’s biggest danger might not be the secrets she’s chasing.

It might be Aiden himself.

This story had me laughing, swooning, stressing, and kicking my feet one minute before gripping my Kindle in panic the next. The interconnected storylines across this series continue to be one of my favourite things. Seeing threads from previous books weave into Mia and Aiden’s journey made the world feel even richer and more addictive.

The tension? Delicious.

The romance? Explosive.

The plot? Had me completely hooked.

The narration? Absolutely flawless.

If you love:
🏍️ MC Romance
🔥 Enemies-to-Lovers
🔥 Age Gap
🔥 Secret Identity
🔥 Rival MC Clubs
🔥 Possessive Protective Hero
🔥 Found Family
🔥 A heroine with legendary brat energy

Then you need this audiobook immediately.

Paisley Hope has delivered another absolute banger, Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke knocked this performance out of the park, and Foxx has officially claimed the top spot in the Soldiers of Bedlam series for me.

Proud to be part of the Podium Influencer Team and even prouder to shout about audiobooks this good.

Now excuse me while I impatiently wait for Kai’s book because if Foxx was this incredible, I have a feeling Kai is about to send us all into complete chaos.

Thank you to the author and Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this title.

“I knew that smart fucking mouth was good for something more than back-talking me”
…SIR??? EXCUSE ME???

This book?? UNHINGED. In the best way possible.

Mia is coming in hot with grief, rage, and a one-track mind after losing her younger sister—and instead of falling apart, she decides she’s going to burn the world down until she gets answers. And honestly? I respected her immediately. She’s bold, reckless, and has a mouth on her that gets her into trouble…especially with a certain MC president.

Enter Aiden Foxx.

This man is the head of a rival motorcycle club, and from the second these two are in the same room, it’s game over. He’s intense, controlling, and very used to people fearing him…except Mia did NOT get that memo. She challenges him constantly, talks back like it’s her full-time job, and I swear it only makes him more obsessed.

And let’s talk about the dynamic because WOW.
This is very much a brat vs. “touch her and die” situation—and Mia is absolutely the brat. She pushes every button he has, and he just…keeps coming back for more. The tension? Insane. The banter? Top tier. The chemistry? I was sweating.

Also—he calls her Rhiannon?? As a Stevie Nicks fan, I was DONE. That detail alone had me giggling and kicking my feet.

What I loved most is that Mia goes into this expecting one thing from the club… and gets something completely different. The women are protected, there are rules, and not everything is as dark as it seems on the surface. It adds this layer of complexity that makes the story even more addictive.

BUT don’t get it twisted—there is still danger everywhere. And when another club member decides he wants Mia?? Oh it’s ON. Aiden goes full protective mode, and the possessive energy?? 10/10. No notes.

There are so many moments that had me losing my mind:

Aiden absolutely snapping and demanding answers from Mia
The emotional moments that hit you out of nowhere
The banter that had me laughing out loud
And THAT cabin scene…
Because WHAT do you mean they are out here getting busy with a literal alligator nearby?? Close enough to SEE ITS EYES?? And this man is telling her to stay quiet and relax like that’s a normal situation??? I’m sorry??? I will never recover.

And somehow in between all the chaos, there are these surprisingly tender moments that show just how much these two start to mean to each other. It’s messy, intense, and completely addictive.

Tropes you’re getting:
✨ Age gap
✨ Rival MC tension
✨ Ruthless, protective MMC
✨ Bratty heroine
✨ “He makes her his to protect” energy
✨ Found family vibes

If you want a dark MC romance with attitude, heat, and characters who go toe-to-toe in the best way—this is it.

Final thoughts: chaotic, spicy, and completely consuming. I ate this UP.

A huge thanks to the author Paisley Hope, NetGalley, and the publisher Sourcebooks Casablanca for the digital Advanced Readers Copy of this book!
This is the first romance of this kind that I have read, and I was surprised at how much I liked it! The romance between Mia and Aiden is definitely on the darker/intense side. While there are several mentions of a past rape event that took place, everything that happens between Mia and Aiden is consensual, which is much appreciated. However, if you're someone who prefers not to take in certain content, you will definitely want to read through the author's trigger list of the book, which she includes a link to before the first pages of the story.

Lil' summary: Mia's younger sister is dead, and Mia wants revenge. Her sister's death is more or less ruled a suicide, driven by a past traumatic rape. The rapists were members of the Disciples of Sins bike club, both of which are now dead (happened in the last book I believe), but Mia heard from her sister that a third member was also there. Mia is sure that the perpetrator is the president of the club, Aiden Foxx, but she needs proof, as it is possible it could be someone else. To find out more before she extracts her revenge, she goes undercover and secures herself a job at Aiden's strip club. Not only is this incredibly risky in and of itself, but Mia's father was and brother is a high ranking member of the rival Hounds of Hell club. If she's not careful, she could start a war. However, the attraction between Mia and Aiden is immediate, much to Mia's frustration. Aiden is also suspicious of Mia, after noticing her observing nature in the club. When the brutal president of another club that Aiden works close with shows a sadistic interest in Mia, Aiden goes full protection mode, claiming that Mia belongs to him. Mia plays along, but it is getting harder and harder to resist the attraction, especially since they both share vicious kinks.

So we got some forced proximity, possessiveness, and fake relationship tropes in here. It's an extremely steamy/spicy romance, and I'm finding myself a fan! I am going to read the first two books in the series now, but I don't think it's necessary to enjoy this book.

The only reason for the missing 5th star is just a personal preference: there is a lot of anal play in the book, which just isn't my thing. If it was, this book would surely be worth 5 stars. I also wish that there was a bit more of a buildup in Mia's and Aiden's relationship. Their initial meeting's sparks felt a little forced, in my opinion. However, the rest of the book makes up for that.

Mia is put for revenge for her sister's death. She decides to take matter into her own handd and ends up working at a club owned by the man, the myth, the legend Aiden Foxx.

Where do I even begin? I am speechless so I have no idea how to even begin this review. No words that I'll type about this book will do it justice. I binge read this book in 24 hours and I never wanted it to end. I was fully hanging on to every single word I read in this book. Paisley's writing is something else and the worlds and character's she creates are pure perfection.

Paisley Hope, the queen of MC romance has done it again !!! This might be the HOTTEST book I've ever read. No but this is the HOTTEST book I've ever read 110%.

I'm obsessed with Gabriel and Sean but Aiden is something else and I'm completely and utterly obsessed with him. His dirty mouth is like chefs kiss.I love how sassy Mia is and how she refuses to back down. I also love the way she is towards Aiden, sassy and such a firecracker.

I knew this book was going to be spicy and let me tell you, the spice was spiceing like CRAZY. It's well written and it's detailed which I love. It's also filled with heat which I adore. The connection and the tension between Mia and Aiden are of the charts and when you read about it, it's like you're in the book with them, like next to them. I loved the spice and the steamy tension. I love how Mia is always sassy when it comes to Aiden and she has the funniest comments ever.

There is two scenes that lives rent free in my head. The 'run' scene and The gator scene !!! Oh my god these scenes was the hottest scenes I've ever read. The Gator scene is a scene I'll never ever forget. I am so obsessed with this book and I'll never ever stop talking about it.

This book is well written, I loved the plot and it kept me fully engaged in everything that happend. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book and I loved everything about it. I'm so here for Paisley and her MC romance books because I am so completely and utterly obsessed with them. Holy moly.

Phenomenal, fantastic, perfection, amazing, chefs kiss, off the charts. MINDBLOWING.

Paisley you have once again outdone yourself with this book queen and if I could I would give this book 7 ⭐️ !!!
