Havoc's Corruption

Havoc Guardians MC #3

by Lora Nox

She came after me wearing a badge.

Now she wears my brand.

I was born and raised to lead our MC. Our family comes first. Family. Loyalty. Protection. That’s the oath I took when I donned the President’s patch.

Then I see her. My butterfly. Nature's perfect creation. With one look at Mecca, I spiral into obsession.

But looks can be deceiving. She’s not just the good girl…

She’s a cop. Coming after me.

And the dark devil in me is more than ready to corrupt my good girl. We’re on opposite sides of a line that should never be crossed. But I obliterate it when I kidnap her, putting not just me at risk, but the entire MC.

When the truth comes out, and Mecca reveals why she was targeting me, there’s absolutely no way I’m ever setting her free.

I caught her in my fist. Caged her. Branded her as mine. Made her my queen.

But love me or hate me, butterfly…

You’re mine now.

This is the third book in the Havoc Guardians MC series. Since the series storyline continues throughout the books you should start with book one, and trust me you wont regret it.

Ash is the president of the MC and has a heavy burden on his shoulders. The MC should and does come before everything in his life until an amateur pole dancing night where he meets a girl that brings him to his knees.

Mecca is a cop who was dealt a pretty shitty hand in life. Her sister has been missing for over a year and everyone gave up on searching for her, but since Mecca is a detective she refuses to believe that her sister is dead and keeps on searching for her, one of her leads brings her to San Francisco and she decides to do something for herself for once and takes up an invite to amateur night pole dancing where she catches Ashes eye. She knows who he is and decides to use it in her favor. What she doesn’t expect is for Ash to figure out who she really is and kidnap her in order to find out why she targeted him.

Ash knows it from the moment he lays eyes on Mecca that she is the one for him. It takes a while for Mecca to let go of her judgement on Ashes criminal activities but once she does she is fully and completely owned by Ash.

Ash helps her find out what happened to her sister but not without paying a price.

The book is very exiting and spicy. The plot just keeps you glued to the book from start to finish. I cant wait for the next part in the series!

WOW. This book takes you on an emotional ride.

This was my first book in the Havoc Guardians MC series, and I honestly wish I would have started in order. It still works as a standalone but I am super curious about the other characters, and will be going back to read books 1 and 2.

I don't want to give away too much so here's a brief rundown of what you need to know:
Mecca is a cop on her own personal mission to find her missing sister.
She receives a tip that leads her to San Francisco.
She runs into Ash (MC president who she thinks may be involved) and accidentally catches his attention.

Mecca is not a damsel in distress, and will not easily bend to Ash. They begin to bond over time but Ash refuses to cage Mecca and Mecca has a hard time adjusting to life living outside of the law. There are so many additions to this plot that made it unpredictable, and I had my jaw on the floor several times. I was satisfied with the ending and I definitely can't wait to read Dom's story next... Something tells me he's not as bad as he seems on the surface.

If you enjoy MC books with suspense and spice, I'd definitely recommend this one. It's longer than books I normally read but totally worth it!

Thank you to Epica Book PR for providing an advanced review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

I loved Ash and Mecca's STORY.
Lora Nox is one of my absolute favorite authors, and with her writing an MC story , the only way she can, ALWAYS A MUST READ, for this Canadian reader.
Ash and Mecca are both on their own journeys for truth and answers, both,than their paths cross, explosion and fireworks , ignite to the sky.

ARC Review, thx Lora Nox

The third book in the "Havoc Guardians MC" series tells the story of Ash and Mecca.
Ash is the leader of the MC, while Mecca is a police officer searching for her sister; she suspects that an associate of Ash—someone from a different criminal organization—is involved in her sister's disappearance. For this reason, Mecca travels to San Francisco and gets close to Ash. When Ash quickly sees through her ruse and kidnaps her, the plot truly kicks into gear.
In typical Lora Nox fashion, the book is packed with twists, action, emotion, and passion. Characters from the first two books make an appearance, as do members of the Santoro mafia family, so it makes sense to read the series in order.
As for the characters: Ash is a criminal with a moral code—and despite his possessiveness, he has a soft spot for Mecca.
Mecca is tough and not easily swayed.
One thing that was a dealbreaker for me, however, is that Ash brands Mecca with his name, ensuring she can never remove the mark and will always belong to him.
Usually, something like that would make me stop reading a book entirely. Since "branding" was mentioned in the trigger warnings—and because I generally enjoy Lora Nox’s writing—I decided to finish the story.
Aside from the branding, the book is truly excellent, even if I recently read another story featuring these exact same elements. *Havoc’s Corruption* is definitely worth a read. I’m looking forward to Dom and Ry’s story.
HEA, no cheating or sharing
⭐️ 4/5

Ash and Mecca had me HOOKED from the beginning. Mecca is a detective searching for her missing sister Ry and her investigation brings her straight into Ash's dangerous world. Ash is a ruthless biker president who becomes completely obsessed with her and let's just say this man has absolutely no idea what personal space means lol.

This was my first book by Lora Nox and I am so obsessed already. I loved the dark atmosphere, the danger, the emotional moments and the way Ash and Mecca's relationship develops. Ash is unhinged, possessive, protective, and SO obsessed with his girl 🫠

Mecca was such a good match for him too. I loved seeing her become more confident in herself and finally embrace the darker side of her personality. Their chemistry was EVERYTHING, and the emotional side of their story made me love them even more.

The book is definitely lengthy and there were moments when I wished it moved a little faster, but honestly I still enjoyed this story so much. This is exactly the kind of dark romance that reminds me why I love reading this genre.

And now I'm SO ready for Ry and Dom's story.
Thanku booksirens for the ARC!!

I enjoyed Mecca and Ash’s story more than I thought I would! Ash is your typical MC pres, all possessive, protective and completely gone for his girl, which I loved seeing from a man in his world. 😂 And Mecca definitely wasn’t one to just roll over and let him have his way. These two had good chemistry and I enjoyed the back and forth between them.

There was plenty of drama, danger, some spice and all the MC craziness you’d expect. A few things felt a little rushed and I would’ve liked a bit more in some parts, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the story. Another good read from Lora and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Omg finally getting a story about Ash, the fearless leader of the Havoc's Guardians! Ugh absolutely loved this so much.

[Sandy S · Rating 4 out of 5]

HAVOC’S CORRUPTION is the third instalment in Lora Nox’s contemporary, adult HAVOC’S GUARDIAN MC erotic, MC romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s SANTORO MAFIA world. This is Ash Dexter, President of the Havoc Guardians, and police Detective Mecca Langden’s story line. HAVOC’S CORRUPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. For followers of Lora Nox, there is a slight crossover with the mention of, and some of the characters from the Santoro Mafia series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mecca and Ash) HAVOC’S CORRUPTION follows in the wake of the arrival of Detective Mecca Langden in San Francisco, as she searches for her missing sister Ryanne, a woman missing for close to thirteen months, after a gold medal win at the Paris Olympics. Following the clues that will lead her to San Francisco, Mecca is currently on a leave of absence, a leave that not only threatens her safety but a leave that is questionable in the face of the who, how, and why. Havoc Guardians president Ash Dexter is mystified by the beauty he spies at the club owned bar but a beauty that is keeping secrets that threaten them all. A deep dive into the web uncovers the truth about Mecca’s arrival in San Francisco, a deep dive that will also reveal a series of betrayals from the people at the top.

The world building focuses on hierarchy of the Havoc Guardians MC-their individual specialities and abilities, as well as the need to defend and protect. Although enmeshed in the world of crime, the MC also dig deep to save the most vulnerable, and assist wherever they can. From blood family to brotherhood, the MC share an emotional and powerful bond, a bond between brothers in a powerful MC

The relationship between Mecca and ash begins acrimoniously when Ash begins to suspect Mecca is keeping secret her reasons for arriving in San Francisco. Another deep dive reveals the history and background, Mecca’s prior relationship, and the missing sister no one has seen for over a year. Ash is determined to uncover the truth but finds himself falling for a woman who is struggling to trust in the wake of betrayal at so many levels. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative with some scenes of spanking.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, powerful and driven secondary and supporting characters, many of whom were introduced in the previous story lines including VP Bane and his ol’ lady Slade, SAA and RC Army, enforcer and treasurer Pix, security Digits; We are introduced to the leader of the Saints, Dominic Jude; Oklahoma City Police chief Julian Thorne, and detective Lance Angler; Police commissioner Angus Talon: FBI director Andrew Glass; and Azrael, enforcer of the Shadow Weasels. Ther requisite has many familiar faces.

HAVOC’S CORRUPTION is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, desperation and grief, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, detailed and dramatic; the romance is seductive and challenging; the characters are tenacious, bold and desperate. HAVOC’S CORRUPTION ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Havoc’s Corruption by Lora Nox | Havoc Guardians MC Book 3

This was an absolute rollercoaster! 🔥 This story had me hooked from the beginning, and between the intense chemistry, the danger, the twists, and the emotional moments, I honestly didn’t want to put it down. Although Ash and Mecca’s story can pull you in on its own, I highly recommend reading the series in order because the ongoing storyline makes everything even better.

Ash is the president of the Havoc Guardians MC, and carrying the weight of the club on his shoulders means there’s very little room for anything else in his life. That changes the second Mecca catches his attention during an amateur pole-dancing night. One look is all it takes for this man to become completely fixated on her, and once Ash decides he wants something, walking away has never really been his style.

Mecca, on the other hand, has a mission that matters more than anything else. As a detective, she refuses to accept that her missing sister is gone forever, even though everyone around her seems to have stopped looking. Her search leads her to San Francisco, where she follows a lead and ends up crossing paths with Ash. She knows exactly who he is and sees an opportunity to get closer to the answers she needs. What she doesn’t anticipate is Ash discovering her real identity and taking matters into his own hands by kidnapping her to uncover her intentions.

And let me tell you, Mecca is NOT a woman who makes things easy for him! She is stubborn, fearless, sharp, and more than capable of standing her ground. I loved that she didn’t suddenly forget who she was or abandon her principles just because Ash was attractive and determined to claim her. She challenged him, questioned his world, and made him work for every bit of trust he gained.

Ash is intense, possessive, and absolutely consumed by Mecca from the moment they meet. His certainty about her never really fades, even when she pushes back and refuses to surrender to his feelings. Their captive-and-captor dynamic was especially gripping because Mecca didn't simply give in overnight. Her resistance felt believable, and watching the walls between them slowly come down made their relationship all the more satisfying. Ash might have been convinced she belonged with him, but Mecca had to reach that place on her own terms.

What I appreciated most was that their romance never completely overshadowed Mecca's search for her sister. Ash becomes involved in helping her uncover the truth, but the answers come with consequences, and the price they pay adds another layer of tension to an already explosive story. The final revelations caught me off guard, and once everything started unfolding, I was desperate to know what would happen next!

The chemistry is scorching, the plot is packed with suspense, and the twists keep coming when you least expect them. Between Ash's unwavering obsession, Mecca's fierce determination, and the secrets surrounding her sister, there is never a dull moment.

I absolutely loved Ash and Mecca together! Their story gave me the perfect combination of dark romance, spice, suspense, and emotional intensity. I'm already eager to see where the Havoc Guardians MC storyline goes next because after that ending, I NEED the next book! ❤️‍🔥

[Heidi Cameron · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book in the Havoc Guardians MC series, and it definitely didn't disappoint! While it can technically be enjoyed on its own, it’s highly recommended to read the rest of the series in order so you fully appreciate the ongoing club dynamics and overarching plot.

This story follows Ash, the president of the Havoc Guardians MC, who carries the full weight of the club on his shoulders and famously believes that giving a ring to a woman is the last thing he'd ever do. That all changes the second he lays eyes on Mecca during an amateur pole-dancing night. He falls instantly, intensely obsessed with her, dubbing her his "butterfly." But little does he know, she is hiding major secrets.

Mecca is a fierce, good-girl detective who has carried heavy responsibilities ever since she stepped up to raise her sister, Ry, after their parents passed away. When Ry suddenly vanishes—following the disappearance of her Olympian partner—Mecca stops at nothing to find her. Her desperate search leads her straight to San Francisco, where her path collides with Ash.

When Ash discovers who she really is and why she targeted him, he takes matters into his own hands with a classic, ruthless MC move: he kidnaps her. What follows is a top-tier captive-and-captor dynamic. Mecca does not make it easy for him, holding her ground, fighting his control, and refusing to surrender her principles overnight.

If you love a dark, high-stakes romance, this one hits all the right notes:

🥀 Possessive MMC

⛓️ Captive romance & forced proximity

💍 Forced marriage, MC style

🔥 Forbidden attraction & dangerous secrets

🦋 A butterfly caught by the devil

Will Mecca end up staying with Ash? Will she finally find her sister Ry? You'll have to dive in to find out! Highly recommend for fans of morally gray, obsessive MC reads. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series following Ry and Dom!!!

Havoc Guardian’s MC #3 brings us the story of Ash and Mecca. Ash is the president of the MC. He’s responsible for not only himself, but the well-being of the MC and all of its members. Just when things had started to calm down amongst the ranks of the club, Ash meets Mecca becomes immediately obsessed. She turns his world upside down. When he finds out she’s a cop, the danger intensifies for him and for her. Keeping her close to find out what she is doing and why she has targeted Ash, turns into wanting to keep her safe the only way he can - by making her his old lady.

Corruption is definitely a good description for this story in many ways! I loved seeing Ash fall hard and fast for Mecca. His inner battle of doing what’s best for him and for the club was intriguing. I couldn’t help but love Mecca and her desire to stop at nothing to find her sister. That dedication and determination added so much depth to her character and really packed a punch. Nothing beats the sizzling attraction of Ash and Mecca. Their fire definitely can’t be extinguished. It’s so fun watching them fight against it and then cave! The angst is real! The way Ash protects Mecca is swoon-worthy for sure. There’s something for everyone in this book - dirty cops, crime, morally gray decisions, torture, good girl vs. bad guy, kidnapping, forced proximity, obsession, suspense, thrilling action, danger, spicy romance, possessive and protective instincts, and that HEA that is hard fought and so satisfying!

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ash has gone and lost his mind in this book. He is not the stoic leader he protrays in the first 2 books of Havoc Guardians MC.

We meet Mecca and find out she is searching for her sister. She is a cop from Oklahoma but is on leave due to her obsession for over a year of chasing down every lead to find her sister. She trust nobody. She captures the attention of our Prez and he become obsessed with his butterfly. He knows she is hiding something and knows she is trying to use him and his MC for something. So he makes thing better by drugging, kidnapping and keeping her prisoner in his room at the compound.

She refuses to tell him what's going on but of course he has his way of finding all secrets. She puts herself in danger within the club and the only way to solve the problem is to claim her as his Ol Lady and wife. Her sisters abduction is tied to a bigger issue the MC is foghting and its toes to Mecca's ex and boss on OK. She still does not trust the information, Ash or the MC until she confronts the ex. I felt like the trusting and her holding back information was dragged on for too long. But that is just me that wanted to shake and tell her to wise up and have Ash help find her sister.

It all comes to the craziest ending and I lived it. Talk about forced marriage trope. This is by far the best one I have ever read.

Thank you so much for the ARC coy❤️
If you’re planning on reading the Havoc Guardians MC series, definitely start from the beginning because the books connect and you’ll want to know what’s going on!(coming from someone, who hasn’t read any of the other books!)

Ash has a lot of responsibility as president of the MC, and his life has always revolved around the club. That all starts to change when he meets Mecca, who definitely isn’t your typical girl.

Mecca is a detective who refuses to give up on finding her missing sister, even when everyone else seems to have moved on. Her search leads her down a path that puts her directly in Ash’s world, and things get complicated pretty quickly. She has her own reasons for getting close to him, but Ash isn’t someone who’s easy to fool.

I really enjoyed these two together! Ash knows what he wants, and once he decides Mecca is his, he isn’t exactly the type to back down. Mecca has her own opinions about his lifestyle, so watching her navigate her feelings for him while trying to find answers about her sister made things even more interesting.

There’s plenty of suspense mixed in with the romance, and I liked that there was more going on than just the relationship. The spice was definitely there, too! This book kept me interested!

Havoc's Corruption is the third book of the interconnected series that focuses on the members of the one percenter motorcycle club, The Havoc Guardians.

This is Ash and Mecca's story. I was enthralled by this one! The bad boy/ good girl dynamic is always fun to read but the added layer of criminal/ cop was great.

A serially unattached Ash becomes instantly obsessed with Mecca when she graces the stage at Vixen's as part of her plan to find her missing sister. A domino effect of things then occurs eventually resulting in a HEA for our MCs. That being said they absolutely go through it in this story to get there.

The writing in this book is smooth, flows well and keeps you flipping pages with ease. The plot is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend reading the other two books in this series before this one because there are a lot of references made to previous books. You do get some recap but it would help a lot. My jaw was on the floor for huge sections of this book because I was so hooked. Its one of those books where you will absolutely want to talk about it to someone. Not necessarily with but definitely to. And yes, its a dark romance so yeah you are getting a solid dose of spice too

**ARC Read: Havoc's Corruption by Lora Nox**

I really enjoyed this book! This story follows Mecca and Ash, and what a ride their journey was!

Ash is an MC president who is ruthless, obsessive, fiercely protective, and completely gone for Mecca. Mecca is a detective searching for her missing sister, Ry. I loved watching Mecca grow more confident as the story progressed, especially with Ash by her side. Seeing her development throughout the book was one of my favourite parts.

The chemistry between these two was absolutely OFF THE CHARTS! But as much as I loved the heat and intensity between them, it was the emotional side of their story that really got to me. There was so much more beneath the surface, and I loved every bit of it.

This is a dark romance and the third book in the series. While I was able to follow along, I definitely think reading the books in order would help you understand the characters and everything unfolding a little better. I will absolutely be going back to read the other books!

And can we talk about Ry and Dom? I CANNOT WAIT for their story!

Thank you to Epica Book PR and Lora Nox for this wonderful opportunity. I received an ARC and voluntarily read and reviewed this book, sharing my honest opinion.

[Nicole Daniels · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lora 👏👏👏👏. This book was EVERYTHING!!!!! I loved the forbidden aspect of their relationship and the instant connection they both felt for one another.

Ash… daddy 🤭, you can talk dirty to me ANY time. I knew from the glimpses of Ash they we have seen in the previous books and the Santoro mafia series, that I would love Ash. He is possessive, confident and just down right sexy. Mecca is a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need sh!t from a man. She is fully capably of doing everything on her own.

When Mecca’s sister goes missing, she makes it her mission to find her with or without the help of law enforcement. She has a crap fiancé who doesn’t support her at all and WOW do we find out why. Mecca is convinced that the Havoc Guardians have all the answers.

Ash knew instantly that Mecca was destined to be his and he stopped at nothing to make that a reality. I mean ladies, get you a man who knows bringing a cop into the MC is a terrible idea but does it anyways so she is forced to be hai wife for protection. Or demands that you get a skin tattoo but it’s permanent and cannot be removed surgically. The level of unhingedness is almost bad yet it’s soo good.

I loved Ash and Mecca. Their relationship was everything. Ash helped heal Mecca in ways she didn’t know she needed.

OMG, Havoc’s Corruption is a MC romance with an undercover cop and an unhinged possessive MC president. This is Mecca and Ash’s story filled with a missing sister, corrupted cops and unexpected feelings. Mecca has been undercover and searching for her sister, but she has been following a lead that left her in Ash’s door. Ash is the Prez of the Havoc Guardians and was immediately enamored by Mecca, but didn’t know he was being watched. I love their witty banter and how instant their attraction are towards each other. Ohh also love the secondary characters and seeing the couples from the other books make an appearance, but also working together to protect her. When things get a bit twisted and unexpected truth comes out, they accepted her and helped her in finding where her sister is and who’s behind it all. Their story will give you the feels and also show how protective they both are to each other. I love how she finally opens up and tells him everything, but also accepts him for who he is. I really enjoyed their story and can’t wait to read more!!

I voluntarily leave my honest thoughts about this gifted advance reader copy.

🦋 Havoc’s Corruption


A dangerously possessive MC president, a good girl with secrets, and an obsession that turns into something neither of them can escape. The chemistry, the tension, the power struggle, and the morally gray vibes had me hooked! 🖤

I loved the contrast between Mecca’s strong, independent nature and the darkness lurking beneath Havoc’s protective, possessive side. Their story is packed with danger, suspense, twists, and that delicious forbidden attraction that makes you want to keep turning the pages.

If you love an obsessed MMC, a cop x MC president dynamic, forced proximity, and a love story that blurs every line between right and wrong, this one deserves a spot on your TBR! 🥀

Dark, addictive, possessive, and beautifully chaotic. A romance where obsession becomes devotion and the butterfly finds herself caught by the devil. 🦋🔥

And that guaranteed HEA? The perfect cherry on top! 🖤

MC romance, enemies to lovers, cop/outlaw, dark & obsessive, forbidden love!!

She came to bring me down. I claimed her instead.

He lives by one rule, family above everything. As President of the Havoc Guardians MC, loyalty is his religion, until the day he sees her. Beautiful, poised Mecca, who looks like everything pure in the world! And carries a badge that makes her his enemy. She’s here to take him and his club down. Instead, he becomes completely, ruthlessly obsessed. The line between right and wrong shatters the moment he takes her. What starts as a power play becomes something far more consuming, he doesn’t just want her compliance, he wants every part of her.

But secrets run deep, and she’s not exactly who she seems. When the real reason she was hunting him comes to light, everything changes, and he realises he’s never letting her go. Not when she hates him. Not when the whole world is watching.

She’s his butterfly now, caged, branded, and irrevocably his.

It’s intense, dark, and utterly addictive, a storm of two worlds colliding into one fiery, unbreakable bond.

Everything points to it being connected to Ash the leader of The Havoc Guardians a motor cycle club. Now she intends to dig deeper and get closer to the group and it's leader. Ash has always known what prople see when they look at him. Yes he's the leader of his club. But he still has rules. Rules he follows strictly. He's not easy to fool. When Mecca starts looking into the ckub he quickly sees through her. But he knows there's more to her and claims her for himself. However Mecca isn't someone who takes things simply, she's got a mind of her own and isn't an easy pushover. The chemistry between them is easy to see. But with everything going on can Ash really protect Mecca. Will she find out what's happened to her sister. Another great story in this series

Havoc's Corruption has President Ash going absolutely unhinged and feral when Mecca catches his eye.

Does he get slightly dark and unreasonable? Heck yeah! And it sends shivers down your spine with his uncontrollable obsession. Their steam sets off fireworks in exploding colours!

Mecca is sassy, strong, and so, so stubborn. You admire her determination, but at the same time, her narrow-minded view of good and bad can be incredibly frustrating, especially when the facts are glaring straight at her and she's a cop!

I loved how much Ash was willing to bend, break, and do anything to make her his queen. He was even willing to give her his protection for life, even if that meant it wasn't with him.

Mecca's fight to live will stop you in your tracks as you wait for Ash and his brotherhood to burn the world to get their queen back and for Mecca to finally get her closure.

It's dark, steamy, chaotic, and backed by a brotherhood that goes beyond blood. What a ride!

[Holly Gray · Rating 5 out of 5]

I could not LOVE this book more!!!!
Mecca is a police officer on a mission to find her missing sister. She has followed lead after lead, and she still has not found her. There is no way she is dead. Even though the people around her tell her to move on, she will never stop looking. Maybe the newest lead will be the one.
Ash is the President of a motorcycle club who she thinks could be involved in her sister’s disappearance. From the moment Ash lays eyes on Mecca, he is ruined for anyone else. No one touches what his and Mecca is his. He will do anything to keep her safe, even if that means letting her go.
Ash and Mecca’s story is the third in the Havoc Guardians MC series. This book has a little bit of everything – intrigue, spice, danger, and absolutely the best banter! I went back and read the first two books in this series, and they keep getting better. I cannot wait for Ry’s story!
I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance copy.

I was given a free copy of Havoc's Corruption to read. I was advised to read in order, so I went back and read books 1 and 2. That's why I'm a bit delayed in my review.

This book is about Ash and Mecca. Ash is the club president of the Havoc MC. Mecca is a cop/detective.

Mecca is on forced leave and is investigating to find her missing sister. One of her leads brings her to the Havoc MC and Ash.

Ash becomes obsessive and possessive over Mecca, kidnaps her and forces a claim on her for her protection. Mecca has a hard time believing this "criminal" will help her find her sister. She also has a hard time believing the betrayal of the "good men" and "law enforcement".

I got hooked on this from the very beginning. I really enjoy the duo POV's. The read was fast-paced, full of danger and drama. Having short chapters helped the read flow smoothly.

If you enjoy a dark romance with MC, mafia, forced proximity, morally grey characters and found family, then this is a must-read for you.

I loved them so much 😭

Mecca is a detective searching for her missing sister and comes across the President of the Havoc Guardians MC. The man is obsessed and possessed as soon as he lays eyes on her, so naturally kidnaps her. Mecca is a strong, fierce and absolute BADASS FMC!! She is on a mission and not even the commanding, sexy bike will deter her.

Now THIS is how you write a Captive X Captor !! The way Mecca HELD OUT HARD and held her ground for so long and took so long to trust and let go was so realistic!! And the way Ash never wavered, never gave up and always supported her (even if sometimes it was a little misguided 😂)

The revelations at the end were WILD and so much happened, it makes me so excited for the next couple (IYKYK)

This is the first book in the series that I've read so I may need to go back and read books 1 & 2 for full understanding of the characters but boy did I enjoy this one.
There is so much going on but the build up to the passion and his self control is to be commended considering the trust issues they have.
Ash is a true protector and although Meeca is a cop and professionally trained, she's grateful for his protection.
If you don't like violence, this one is not for you. However it does make the story. I got a true adrenaline rush during some of the scenes. Just when you think it's coming to a happy ending and then BAM, there's a plot twist. Sooo Good!
And the spicy scenes are in my opinion, very well written.
I'm really keen to read the next chapter with her sister Ry and her saviour Dom.

This is the third book in the series. Ash, the president of the Havoc Guardians MC, has always made the club his top priority—until Mecca crashes into his world. Mecca has one focus of her own: finding her missing sister. When she crosses paths with Ash, she sees an opportunity to uncover answers that might finally lead her to her sister.

The attraction between them is absolutely explosive, with Ash knowing from the start that Mecca belongs with him. But Mecca needs more time to figure out where Ash fits into her life when finding her sister remains her number-one priority.

Another great addition to this series! Ash and Mecca have incredible chemistry, and their story delivers plenty of danger, suspense, and off-the-charts spice. If you love MC romance with an alpha hero, explosive attraction, and lots of heat, this one is for you!

Lora Nox keeps me on the edge of my seat, just waiting so impatiently for her next book! I loved Ash and Mecca’s story: there’s so much chemistry between them from their first meeting that it’s visceral. Mecca’s life was on hold, desperately searching for her sister. Ash’s world is dangerous, but she captured his attention and disrupted his focus!

Her feelings of guilt and failure were heartbreaking, but her strength was awe-inspiring. Ash’s dirty mouth, his intensity, and his undivided attention left her with no choice and no doubt that she was his! The MC Prez vs cop, bad vs good, right vs wrong had NO bearing on their relationship: they’re meant to be together!!! I’m so invested in all of these books: the characters, and the underlying story that I can’t recommend them enough: definite must-reads!
5🌟5🌶️🔥

ARC REVIEW:

Holy CRAP, this book! I received this as an ARC, and I’m blown away! This world, the writing, the absolute FERAL mc! The only reason that this didn’t get a full five stars from me was because I was missing quite a bit of information from the first two books. Usually, with these interconnected standalones, theirs some mentions of what happened in previous books, but if it’s important to the story it’ll be more of a run down. Which can be annoying if you’ve just read the previous books, but if you’re going in blind, that information is pretty important to know. I was missing quite a lot of information, and it made a lot of the story confusing. That’s the only downside to this book, and honestly? That’s not too bad! I really enjoyed this world, and you better believe I’ll be going back for the first two books! Also, I can’t wait for book 4!!
