Meet The Beckett Boys. Each One Dirtier, Rougher, and Sexier Than The Next…
A standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA
AXEL
The first time I see her, I know I’m in trouble.
She’s different from any woman I’ve ever met.
Innocent.
And yet I want to take that innocence, defile her. Make her dirty. Make her mine.
I can feel something in my heart start to shatter when I’m with her. This woman is going to sink me hard and fast like the iceberg that took down the Titanic. I have to stop it now, before it gets worse.
Even if I savor the feel of my girl in my arms after she’s come, how warm and soft she is against me. The rich smell of her hair, her skin. How she sighs in her sleep, her lips delicate and parted. The way her fingers twitch to touch my skin when she’s deep in the throes of sleep. Like she’s unconsciously reaching out to grip me. Vulnerable. Sweet. Beautiful.
Or the fact that lying with her, I sleep better than I have in months. Maybe even for years.
The problem is, I’m a Beckett.
I’m not meant to be tied down, not meant to be with one woman. My heart is cold as stone, and I’ve long since given up on finding anyone who I can really trust.
If I care about her even a little bit, I should make sure she stays far away from me.
Because I’m the worst thing that could ever happen to her…
KENDRA
I know what my problem is.
A man.
Someone who confuses me to hell, arouses me, irritates me. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever known before.
I’ve never seen such raw masculinity embodied before—muscular and covered in tattoos—compounded by a sexuality that is almost vulgar. His lips are full, always seemingly curled in a smirk.
He’s a bad boy, one hundred percent.
This man is sin incarnate, and I can’t help but want to give in.
I tell myself this is just sex, nothing more. Maybe if I can keep repeating that, I won’t feel more. I don’t want to, anyway. I just want this—the carnal lust crackling between us.
Am I starting to fall for him? And if so, is that insane?
And could I even stop it if I wanted to?
I don’t know any answers. I just know that Axel Beckett is driving me crazy, making me lose myself.
And I sense that being with him could break me into a million pieces, but somehow I have to keep tempting fate. I just hope and pray that maybe, in the end, everyone will be wrong.
Then again, maybe they’re all right, and falling for a Beckett boy is simply a recipe for heartbreak and disaster….

Axel and Kendra are the cherry on top of the Beckett sundae 🍨! They are your classic different world story - the princess and the commoner 😉 Kendra comes from a world of money privilege and presitage. She is sheltered and innocent and when Axel strolls into her life she is positive she has never encountered anyone like him before. Instantly drawn she cannot help the attraction and dispite being completely out of character she follows Axels lead to new and exciting places. Axel is tired of feeling like the family outcast and now that he is only Beckett left following the "true path" he is determined to keep in the up and up now more than ever. When he spots Kendra for the first time he can't help but be captivated, but he swears it's just business as usual and proceeds to let it play out. Soon they both find that what they thought was a bit of fun is actually so much more and undeniably deeper. But coming from such different world can they really bridge the divide?

Great!
I chose this rating because this was a really great book. I loved almost all the characters. But there are some that was really interesting. Axel was in his feelings about his neighborhood. But it turns out he didn't want to stay home anyway. Even though their dad was locked up in prison. But I'm so glad that Kendra came into his life, and she changed him a little bit.
All in all everything turned out alright. Axel and his brothers made up. And he and Kendra that together. He accomplishes goals she did what she had to do they stay together. Great read. I recommend this book to all romance readers.

Last Beckett Standing
I honestly loved reading this eighth Beckett book. Axel was truly a man with a chip on his shoulder, but with the right love in his life he was able to get through it. Kendra was one hell of a virgin who know who and what she wanted. The ending was a little fast and cheesy for me, but it was still really good. Great job Olivia Chase.

AXEL is the eighth book in The Beckett Boys series, and it's been exciting, sexy, as well as emotional. This was a fantastic story about Axel, the only half-brother in the family, and Kendra, a somewhat sheltered woman who is from a wealthy family, and has never been on her own. Although they don't seem like they'd work as a couple, they fit one another perfectly, much to the dismay of her father.
They both have things from their past that has been holding them back emotionally, but neither realize how much until they are together trying to make it work between them. Can they both get over the hurt and abandonment issues they have before it's too late? Can Axel forgive his brothers and cousins, or will it be himself that he needs to be forgiven? How far will Kendra's father go to ensure that she ends up with the type of man that he thinks that she deserves? Will Kendra allow him to have his way, or will she finally decide that it's time to be on her own? Will Axel and Kendra finally get the HEA that they both deserve? You're going to have to read this to find out!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and great author.

Love and Family
An amazing attention grabbing storyline full of chemistry and heat. This final book details the feelings and turmoil Axel is facing about his family. I like how the story depicts Axel holding on to a past and a family tradition that is misguided,. How he fights to overcome his demons and feelings about his family. We see how Axel and Kendra meet, their instant attraction, fall in love and evolve to become the people they both want to be. Closing the chapter on following their families path but, loving and accepting their family to find their own HEA. I enjoyed reading the entire series.

I can't believe the series is done..😢
This was such a great story. Axle was a unique character in all the books. He was more of the silent personality. Always feeling the odd man out. Finding himself and his purpose was a great ordeal. Kendra was just the personality to help him prosper. What a cute and sweet love story for them. This entire series was addictive and so well-written and portrayed perfectly for these characters. Would you consider a future book if it comes to you of a sort of update on all the characters including Butch in the future??

If I could give half marks it would be four and a half stars, but it just didn't have what it takes to make a five star read for me. That being said this was the best of the bunch of the Becket Boys stories, I loved following Axel and Kendra through their relationship and their individual journeys towards being the best for themselves first then for each other. As with all in this series the sex was hot but, for me it's always great characterizations that make it a good read and this book and the entire series does that well. It was a lovely afternoons read. Thanks.

For me this book was just okay. Axel is a bit whiny (or maybe I'm reflecting my mood?). After reading the other 7 books... This story was utterly predictable. Rough mans man, innocent/virginal woman, hot sex, conflict, and then HEA. The author did attempt to but a bow on the series. There are still a few editing mistakes. I think these books/stories could be amazing with development and editing, but they are enjoyable enough for what they are.

Omgosh!
Absolutely LOVED THIS SERIES!!! Loved the storyline, characters and ups and downs. The beginning of the book stated different than I thought it would. The ending was more a surprise. Butch...what was wrong with him? Puzzle not to be solved. The family home - definitely did not see that coming. What about the cabin? Thought that might have been incorporated in the end...wedding present? Author did a phenomenal job with this series and would recommend it to anyone.

Great series
I thought each book was well written. The story lines, characters, struggles etc had me pulling for these couples to have their happy ever after. The characters were hot, the sex/love scenes were hot. Ok did I mention it was hot.... Defiantly want to read this series.

Loved this book. Loved the whole series more.
This was the last book in the Beckett boys series. I highly recommend getting to know them.
Axel and Kendra were so great together. Self-improvement and family is the main theme.
Olivia Chase ended this series so well. This last book tied everything up nice and neatly. I will miss all the Becketts, from Smith to Axel. Each one was awesome

It's sad when ppl don't feel accepted
Axel doesn't feel like his half brothers accept him. He feels abandoned by everyone. Then when he has a one night stand that turns into more, he don't know how to handle it. He thinks it makes him weak like all his brothers. If course, in the end it all comes together. Loved all the Beckett Boys Books!!

I enjoyed this series. I will admit that the stories are all similar with just different names for characters. It’s not a riveting series where your hanging on the edge to see what happens but it’s enjoyable!

Final book
Well I liked Axel and Kendra's story. I liked the whole series of books how bad boys turned their lives around after finding love.
The only negative I have is, it would of been nice to find out what happened to their Dad?

A good read
I enjoyed this series. It makes you think about different relationships in one's own life. But, I have one question, what happened to Butch?
