Luke “Mad Dog” McLanahan and Isabella Castellari have a history. Kind of. He’s a member of the Avenging Angels MC and one of four brothers whom she thinks slept with her sister three years ago. Or did they? Nothing is as it seems. Isabella’s world is turned upside down when lies are exposed, truths revealed, and the man she’s been fantasizing about for three long years makes her an offer that she should refuse but can’t.

When Mad Dog recognizes Isabella stranded on a rural country road, remembering her toxic sister, he almost doesn't stop. Seeing her as an end to a means, he brings her back to the Avenging Angels MC clubhouse and quickly learns that she's different—very different—than what he expected. She's a curious innocent, and willing to submit to his domination. But there are complications. A mob boss uncle, protective parents, a traitorous friend, and secrets that have been kept for far too long. Secrets that will either bind them together or tear them apart.

This book has adult content and may contain triggers. Written for ages 18+.

There's never a slow moment in Nia Farrell's stories and this was not an exception. I loved coming back to the family and get to know a few new characters.
The interaction between Isabella and Mad Dog....
I'd like to get to know more about Mr Visconti later on. He sounds intriguing.

Another amazing read from Nia Farrell. The series is just as hot as it can get... or is it... This series definitely leaves you on the edge of your seat guessing what next. I can not wait for Book 3 now!!! OMG! You have where the introductory Keeper leaves off and it totally starts from the beginning and it gives you so much more. It is sexy and I am totally addicted to the characters!!!

This is the 2nd book in Nia's MC romance series and wow, I loved it. Isabella has had a crush on luke aka mad dog for 3 years since the night she first seen him whilst he was dropping her sister off at home. Believing that her sister slept with him she refuses to be anyone's 2nd. However when she finds herself alone with her broke down car it is Luke thats find her, he takes her to his clubhouse and gives her the best night she could ask for.
Isabella agrees to become Luke's sub and he is more than willing to her all about the lifestyle he lives. Following a very hot scene at the strip club things big to happen unfortunately for Isabella. I do not wish to reveal anymore but I highly recommend this book though it is best to start at the beginning. What more could you want hot tattooed dominant bikers, loved it.

Keeper is book 2 in the Avenging Angels MC series. Luke “Mad Dog” finds Isabella stranded on the side of the road. When he sees it is Krissi’s sister, he almost changes his mind. Mad Dog ends up helping Isabella and they end up at the MC clubhouse. Isabella has had a crush on Mad Dog since bringing Krissi home from the night she was rescued 3 years earlier. Krissi is now living in CA and is a famous porn star. Isabella is the total opposite and despises any man who has been with or compares her to Krissi. Mad Dog is the exception to that rule and they end up having sex the 1st night together. Mad Dog likes his sex rough and is a total dominant. Isabella is a virgin and doesn’t tell Mad Dog. His dominant side is ready to punish her for not telling him. They are side by side from the 1st night since Mad Dog agreed to train Isabella to be his sub. There are several hurdles these two have to overcome due to their different backgrounds, her parents, and his club. Isabella’s uncle, Giovanni Visconti the mafia boss, seems to be the only one on their side. That is until Isabella is kidnapped under Mad Dog’s protection. I really enjoyed Isabella & Mad Dog’s story even though it was not as intimate as Rose & Michael. I also felt the ending was abrupt. I’m still invested in the series and can’t wait for book 3.

This is the second book in Nia Farrell's Avenging Angels MC series, and I couldn't wait for it to come out!

For the last three years, Isabella Castelllari and Luke 'Mad Dog' McClanahan have avoided each other. Since the night he brought home her wayward older sister, Isabella hasn't been able to get him out of her mind. To Mad Dog, she was just a gangly fifteen-year-old. But when he finds her stranded by the side of the road, he realizes that she's all grown up now. And it seems they both have a secret or two.

This is the story of two people who are destined to be together, no matter what. The romance between Isabella and Luke is heartfelt, and the BDSM sex is HOT! If you've already read the first book, FINDER, you absolutely have to read KEEPER! 5 HUGE STARS!!

This is a down-low & gritty MC tale - that picks up and expands on Keeper: The Introduction and Find Me, the beginning of the new MC series.
The author's writing is, as always, well done. The sexual chemistry is Hot, as always with this author.This is an abrasive look at the relationship between a dominant who only plays "hard" and an innocent, that takes up where Keeper left off. Luke, "Mad Dog", gives Isabella a crash course in some BDSM play. Then they try to figure out how they will work this "relationship" out with the rest of their families.
I definitely recommend this for lovers of the steamy MC genre.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it . It's a well written story of opposites attract love story, I love the way the main plot of the previous book is slowly told throughout this one so for me I was learning at the same time as Isabella ( I will go back and read 1st now), the characters are likeable, some nice twists in the plot and of course being MC is big plus for me. My only problem with it is believing someone can go from virgin to full time sub in one night but hey, it's a work of fiction so anything is possible.

VERY INTENSE READ.

Isabella encounters Mad Dog (Luke) on a back road one evening when her car broke down. The fact that hes been in her dreams for years is nothing compared to the life she is about to see first hand.

Mad Dog is the VP of the Angels motorcycle club. Walk into the club and you see all sorts of sex! Hard and fast, rough and raw. Their lifestyle on display.

Life takes a jump in the wrong direction when a private dance gets uploaded to You tube isabella is devastated and Mad Dog is out for blood. Not surprising Reaper makes an appearance. He is out to even the score.

~~~~~~~~~~Julie's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

This book was a delight to read. This MC and their men take care of their lady’s and they love them forcefully. Mad Dog doesn’t know what to think of Isabella. She comes from a protective family and her uncle could be a problem. She is a natural submissive but he wants everything out in the open. Isabella is a great character and she is very innocence. This second book in this series, will make you want more of this MC and more of the Authors writing. Excellent storyline.

I really enjoyed this book BUT

have to say I had to suspend disbelief at times. Some of the sex scenes where too unrealistic: seriously a virgin fucked every which way consecutively n shes just a little sore from taking a 10 inch dick as a virgin and in her arse? Multiple times a day, day after day n no time to recoup? No way. Not happening. So for me the sex scenes were just unrealistic.

Insta love, older guy, teenage virgin again sigh. Come on !!! We've read this story a million times.

Notwithstanding this it was hot af and I did enjoy so will continue onto the next book

This was an intense, hot sometimes funny book. "Bullet deflecting bracelets", I was laughing out loud a few pages into the book. There are some serious themes in the book that may be triggers for people that are sensitive, but they are handled extremely well. All of the characters are well written, the situations realistic for the MC world, the sex is as HOT as F**K! I want the next book NOW!!!

This is the second book in this series. Luke aka Mad Dog and Isabella have been avoiding each other for the last 3 years since he returned her kidnapped sister home. When Isabella is stranded at the side of the road, Luke comes to her rescue. Luke instantly recognises that she would be the perfect submissive for him, despite them being total opposites. This is a good story which is filled with secrets, twists, action and love. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Nia has another hit on her hands with Keeper of the Avenging Angels MC Books. And to hear her tell it MC is new to her. Keeper is Mad Dog's story and what an incredible one it is. The book is a stand alone but I didn't want it to end. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I want to hear more about the 'war' and see how life unfolds for Isabella.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was I surprised. I was hooked from the get go. I think every woman wants her own “Mad Dog”. The way he treats Isabella is amazing. Some of the scenes made me squirm!! I will recommend this book to everyone.

Gosh it was Good!! Mad Dog (Luke) and Isabella are great for each other. It was easy to fall in love with them since the start. Had me smiling, laughing at how she’s able to tease him. Never would’ve thought a clubs Vice President, kinky Dom has a heart of gold. Amazing job. On to book 3.
