Kelly Clan #3
Noel
When the Kelly Clan needs something handled, they always turn to Noel. He’s a man who was trained from childhood to get things done.
He never thought about much else until the night he was captured and tortured by the Kelly Clan’s greatest enemy: the Russian Mafia. Now his every waking moment is consumed with revenge.
Noel also never planned on catching the eye of the feisty but innocent Haley. He doesn’t understand why she’d be interested in a brooding, scarred criminal like himself. Nor does he want to risk her being endangered by the many enemies that come with his lifestyle. Still, he can’t deny his passionate yearning for the woman.
When an old nemesis in the Russia Mafia slithers out of hiding, Noel and Haley realize just how dangerous their attraction to each other can be.

About the author
Madison Stevens
73 books327 followersMadison currently lives with her husband and two children in the Valley of the Sun. Phoenix, Arizona. After leaving the frozen tundra of the north, Madison was more surprised than anyone with how much she has enjoyed living in the desert. Seeing as she had stated on more than one occasion how much she hated the heat, it was an odd move. But it seemed her hatred for sub-zero temps and ice, or really the things that ice could do, won out in the end.
When she’s not writing, she’s enjoying time with her family. Madison and her family frequent festivals in the area, as well as local cultural events, and spend time with family in the area. In the summer she is most likely to be found in the pool with the family and in the winter by the fireplace. Since both her children are autistic, days can be a little chaotic but with her husband beside her, there’s nothing she can’t handle. Luckily he is also an author and able to share in all the activities (and chores) special needs kids require.
Madison has a full schedule of releases planned for 2014 listed and updated on her blog:

Loved how the heroine pursued the hero. Loved their interaction. The scenes with the minor characters were kind of cheesy.

Noel is probably my favorite character so far. His story is just so heartbreaking I can't help but want to take him in my arms and give him a big bear hug.
After being tortured and burned by the Russians, all Noel can think about is revenge. He will show those who hurt him, just how much pain he can inflict himself. He has no room in his life for a little kindergarten teacher with curves that tempt him to distraction. Noel knows no woman will want him now and with all the blood on his hands, especially and innocent like Haley.
Haley is a fiesty woman and knows what she wants in life. She has wanted Noel since she first laid eyes on him, even if he was aiming a gun at her. But he won't give her the time of day, especially since the night he was taken. But she wants Noel scars and all and will do anything to show him that his scars don't define him.
When Anton starts playing games with Noel and threatens Haley, Noel can no longer stay away. He will protect her at all costs, but keep her emotionally at arms length. Will Haley be able to break down the walls Noel has placed?

Loved the story
I loved the story... I love the whole series and anxiously await the next book as well as others from this author. The only reason I couldn't give this the five stars is that there were so many spelling errors it was distracting... even putting "Fubb" instead of "Finn". It's distracting and I find I have to re read sentences and sometimes paragraphs just to make sure I understand what was supposed to have been said.

Love me a wounded man. One who thinks he’s not worthy and needs to see the good in himself. I love how Haley made him finally see how much he deserves!

Oh my great ending!!!
I love when a serial book resolved itself with potential for another without a cliffhanger ;) I love Haley and Noel! I really like the female characters in this authors books. They are strong women but need a stronger alpha male to harass...keep them on their toes. Anton is still there but I am super happy Noel was able to find his 'love'. I have torn through both the Allen and Kelly series and I need more!!!!

Ok. I liked Noel before but I totally love him now. Rough. Tough. All alpha male. Haley is the sweetest most patient person ever. She stood strong and proved to a stubborn Noel she was the one. I still live Finn. He is always there for his friends and family. Tell me Riley is next. Please!!!!!

Another heart stopping story!!
Madison doesn't disappoint!! I've waited so long for Noels and Haleys story and it was as always amazing. Though I wish I could read more of them. This will definitely be on my comfort reads list.
