Their bodies were sliced and diced by a psycho with a machete, and no matter what angle I look at it from, I know it’s only a matter of time before I have to get my hands dirty. Real dirty. Things gets even more complicated when the girl who captured my heart a decade ago, moves back to New York City. She has secrets, that much is clear, but I can’t help but be drawn to her warmth. She’s a haven from the chaos that lingers at my doorstep, and she’s my responsibility to protect. But my life with my MC is a threat to her—and so is the man with the machete and the hunger for blood. Maybe I’m the one I need to protect her from. Maybe I’m the reason it will all fall apart.
Hi! I’m Ali Parker, a USA Today bestselling author who has been writing contemporary and new adult romance for over a decade, creating heartfelt, swoony stories that give readers a place to escape and feel a little lighter. Every book I write starts with a simple “what if” and is crafted the old-school way; with imagination, long nights, too much coffee, and a deep love for storytelling (no AI here, just heart and a dedicated human team I treasure like family).
I left my career as a CPA to follow that calling, inspired by the power one great story can have to bring hope and joy. These days, I live in Tennessee with my husband (my real-life book boyfriend), our family, and my sweet grandbabies who make life even sweeter. When I’m not writing, I’m dreaming up new stories, crafting A LOT, and soaking up every moment with the people I love most. Oh, and drinking way too much coffee. Don’t judge.
Welcome to my stories, your escape, your adventure, and maybe even your next favorite love story.
Jax has been getting a little jealous of Ryder with Dani and Axel with Ellie. As he is thinking of wanting what they have The Black Hearts have a new leader named TJ.
The MC learns that someone went into The Black Heats club and killed 7 of their crew. This isn’t looking good as Jax and Sabian talk things over and while on the road car tries to take Jax out.
Axel, Hannah and Ellie are out for a family dinner when he notices Holly, an old friend and old flame of Jax. They learn she has left her mean ex in PA and now lord back home.
Jax and Holly start hitting it off but can Holly tell him the one truth that might run him off? Can she deal with the MC and what goes down with the Black Hearts?
I am enjoying this series. I noticed some time frames are starting to get a bit off but other wise the story and characters are great to read more about and we get small glimpses of the past characters and their lives going forward.
This is probably my favorite in the series so far, though I was pretty fond of Ellie and Hanna in Axel's book. Ryder's book he actual graphic sex scenes with an ex and then him all the time thinking about her way too much. It also had Axel talking about how he just he just he sex with someone else and said Ellie's name. I know he and Ellie weren't together yet, but that was gross and made it difficult to read his book because his recent manwhoreness was still in my mind. This book was hard to read because Jax had been super slutty in the other books. He turned out to be a better guy than I thought, but he'd recently been with other women and he's supposedly been in love with her all along? I don't think so. It's all disgusting and makes no sense. These guys are gross manwhores who do kinky intimate things with random people. That's awful. Settling down now doesn't make up for or erase their previous gross behavior. It's hard to read a love story in which the guy was just being a whore the other day. It's hard to believe he really loves the woman he's now with and it makes the sex scenes between the main characters not special because they were just doing that with other people.
Jax is Book 3 of The Lost Breed MC Series by Ali Parker and Weston Parker and it is absolutely fantastic!! I have read all three books now and each one is getting even better than the previous story which I really didn't think was possible but it may be because I now 'know' the main characters and see where they are coming from. having said that please realise that each one can be read as a standalone but for greater depth it is more fulfilling to read them in order. The story starts with the announcement that seven massacred bodies of seven of their rival MC gang being found chopped up by a machete but really no clues as to who did it or why! Meanwhile there is a return to New York of Holly whom Jax used to follow round like a lost puppy when they were younger but she didn't want to be involved in an MC gang so left with another man, Keith, who is the father of her little boy but is a bully and alcoholic who is dangerous. When Axel and Ellie [book 2] go for a meal with their little girl they see her waitressing and they chat as Axel grew up in the neighbourhood and knew her too. He later lets Jax know that she's back and Jax seems to almost stand taller and f;lex his muscles as he has never been able to forget her[ or even want to]. This time Holly is not going to avoid Jax as her feelings for him were always strong and when he steps in to help protect her and her son [and sister Kim] he can do no wrong as far as she is concerned. I liked 'meeting' jax in the previous two books and so this all fits in nicely with the overall series. I must admit that my heart was thudding wildly when Jax and the other two go to the mansion and are caught in the trap but Jax was amazing!! Ali Parker and Weston Parker really know how to spin a yarn. This series wonderful and I loved how the rough and tough men react to small children and how kind they are. This really is about a family of bikers who have made each other Family and stick together no matter what. Obviously you will need your fan/air con set to Absolutely MAX Cool as when Jax and Holly get together it is pure HEAT! I also loved how Kim's neighbour, a little old lady, threatened to report him to the police if he hurt Kim, Holly and her son! Can't wait for the next episode as this is a must have read that I didn't put down till I'd finished reading it. I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.
I really enjoyed Jax and Holly's story...my favorite couple so far. Being the romantic that I am; I a sucker for second chance romance. I really couldn't put this book down.
To me this was a second chance at love romance, and not a MC Romance. The authors did not deliver on the Motorcycle club feel that the series needs. I am not sure if this is because I've read one too many MC Romance, but this series lack that element. I wanted to learn more about the club, Ryder is the President, who is the VP, road captain, sergeant at arms--where are the club whores. Where is the action, where is the guns fights, where is the getting rid of the body...where is the gritty bad boys?
Okay so Jax rode is his Harley once--I think...
Don't get me wrong...the book is not all bad. I just think that the authors should put some focus on the club...since this is a MC Romance... However, I love the romance aspect of the book. The chemistry between the two is HOTTER THAN HOT!!
The book is romantic, funny, and sexy! All elements for a great romance story!
They do know how to write a sex scene though...gotta give them that. I think that I may have skipped some parts of the book, because Holly didn't have a car, she takes the bus...suddenly, she has a car (did I miss something?)
Also, they had sex and in what...2 or 3 days she took a pregnancy test and got a positive result...again did I skip some pages in the book trying to finish? Not sure
I also felt that there were several opportunities for more suspense or a bigger plot. For example, there is so many ways the husband's storyline could've played out, but...
I am missing the bad guys feel...even the bad guys were not bad, I read a lot about what they are capable of doing, but they fail to live up to their badness (is this even a word).
Every book there is a new "bad guy" and by the end of the book, they go to jail and the next book the same thing.
The beginning of this book📑 made me laugh. I know it's not supposed to be funny, but the book📑 starts out like a soap opera or a 📺tv show. Jax 🐺🍆🌋💪, the hero of this story, cruises in on his bike to the garage the brothers own and operate. Most of the characters are introduced as Jax🐺🍆🌋💪 strolls around the building. There are a lot of women working at this shop! Jax🐺🍆🌋💪 is slightly jealous of Axel and his new family👪. Jax🐺🍆🌋💪 wants what he has! He wants his own woman💃!
Holly💋👗 is running away with her little son, Luke, from a bad relationship with Kent, a bounty hunter. She comes to NY to live with her sister, Kim. The only job she👗💋 can find is waiting tables at The Roost, a country restaurant/ 🍸bar, owned by Talon.
Gruesome murders by machete🔪 of seven members of the Black Hearts, a rival MC gang, have Jax🐺🍆🌋💪 taking his mind off women💃💋 and 🍺beer for a while, but not long! This wasn't business, it was personal!
Men are worse gossips than women! Word of Holly💋👗 coming back spreads like wildfire 🔥 among the single bikers! Jax🐺🍆🌋💪🔫 can't wait to see her.......
YEHAW! Ride Em Bareback🍆, Cowgirl! 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
ARC Received for a Voluntary and Honest Review. I also got the book📑with KU. This definitely an Adults Only XXX MC Romance
Who doesn't love a good Ali Parker book, right? Especially her Lost Breed MC book. I am a huge fan of hers to begin with and this is one of my favorite series she has written so far. This is book 3 of the series and Jax and Holly always had feeling for each other even back in high school. When she left New York to move with Kent to Philadelphia neither one of them thought they would ever have a chance to be with each other again. Jax has been part of the Lost Breed MC for years and they are his family. Holly came back to New York because Kent was drinking more and more and she feared not only for her safety but the safety of her 6 year old son. So she now lives with her sister Kim and works at a restaurant waitressing. When Axel (who is from previous books) tells Jax that she is back in town, he goes to see her. Can they rekindle what they used to have? What will happen when he finds out she has a 6 year old son? What will happen when Kent comes for her since she left without his blessing? This is another well written book that should definitely be on your TBR or one-click today. The whole series has been good and she keeps the characters in each book together so the stories flow very nicely. Enjoy
Jax is the third book in The Lost Breed Series and is a part of The Lost Breed MC Box Set (Books #1 - 10). I binged this series back-to-back and found a dark MC romance series with all the ingredients needed to make for engrossing reading. Everything from action, violence, revenge, intrigue, drama, danger, tension, bad boys, high stakes, emotion, chemistry, steam, suspense, challenges, angst, family dynamic/drama, sweet and tender scenes, vulnerability, passion, band of brothers, sinister foes, agendas, secrets, and more. And with all the tropes that we know and love like opposites attract, second chances, protective Alpha-type males, damsels in distress, chosen family, ride-or-die, finding love unexpectedly, single parent, risking it all for love, redemption, eye for an eye, romantic suspense, and good girl/bad boy ---- just to name a few. This was such a great introduction to the author’s work, and even though this is my first time between her covers, it certainly won’t be the last. If you love MC romance and all the sexy, intriguing, suspenseful details that come with a band of bad boy finding their ‘one’- then this is definitely the books/series for you. Happy Reading…
Wow! “Jax” is one of the best MC romances I've read. I immediately fell in love with this thrilling well-crafted story and the fascinating characters. This book is the story of Jax the gorgeous bad boy biker with a heart of gold and Holly Jax's high school sweetheart. After eight long years, Holly is back in town with her son and running from her violent ex. When Jax and Holly see each other the chemistry ignites once again. There is no way that Jax is letting her go this time. Unfortunately, there is extreme danger brewing with their rivals the Black Hearts MC. People are being murdered by machetes and someone is following Jax and the rest of the Lost Breed MC. Will the secrets of Holly's past and the violent life that Jax leads prevent them from finding their HEA? This suspense filled intriguing plot delves into the gritty world of the MC. If you like fast-paced action with unrestrained passion, danger and heartwarming emotion “Jax” is for you. I certainly recommend you read this exciting well-written story. It is definitely not to be missed. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I read this book as part of an arc program. This is the third book in Ali and Weston's MC series. In this second chance romance, Holly returns to NYC after a few years living with her abusive ex. When Jax learns Holly is back, he wants to see her and see if they can return to where they were before she left. Holly and Jax were seeing each other while in high school and Jax was broken hearted when Holly chose to follow her ex instead of staying with him. Jax has never dated seriously since and only had flings, but he was starting to want more. Holly returned with her young son and wanted to protect him from her ex. When she sees Jax, she agrees to see him again and when she tells him about her son, he tells her he wants to get to know him too. While Jax is trying to protect Holly from her ex, the club is also dealing with threats from The Black Hearts, who are trying to start a war. There is danger everywhere and drastic measures are taken to protect everyone. This was another great book in this series. I love how Jax was so protective of Holly and her son. I also love how the whole MC looked after everyone. Jax and Holly were great together and had their happy ending. Great one
A story of Love lost and then eight years later Love found even though Jax was unaware of his LOVE for Holly. Holly had left town with her boyfriend Kent to travel to Philadelphia. She left behind Bryan a.k.a. Jax to try and have a life with Kent.A not so happy life ensued but she gave birth to her son Luke. Holly is brave enough to leave Kent and makes her way back to New York and as luck would have it soon into Jeremy a.k.a Ryder the leader of the MC and a friend to her and Jax from high school. Ryder takes no time of telling Jax that Holly is back in the city and staying with her sister. When Jax meets Holly at the restaurant where Holly works sparks are rekindled and a date is quickly planned. There are many threads to this story; threats, suspense, murders all laying the groundwork for a truly great book. The alpha male is in true colour and his to protect and love attitude. I liked this book and can not wait for another MC from this author to wet my appetite.
I love reading about the MC Biker club. Now that Jax is in the picture he is a force to be reckoned with. He never took any mess from anyone in particular the Black Hearts another MC Biker club that is now leaderless. There was a truce between the two clubs at this time. Alex aka Jeremy was dining at the Roost with his family when Holly recognized him. During their conservation he mentioned Jax, someone that was important in Holly’s life during their high school days. Alex told Jax that Holly was back in the city. Holly recently moved back to New York from Philadelphia to escape from her husband Kent. Holly and Jax were always attracted to each other during their earlier years. Holly felt that any type of romance between her and Jax would not work out because of being opposite, him a biker and she a mother of a young child. As time went by things changed between the two of them. This is another romance book that I truly loved reading. Ali Parker please keep writing MC Biker books. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC book for my honest review.
Loved this MC romance book. Jax is a no-nonsense kind of guy. He fights hard and his MC family comes first. He has always had a soft spot for Holly Whitton, the one who got away. She left NY to follow her high school boyfriend and Jax hasn't seen her in close to eight years. His friend, Axel tells Jax that he saw that Holly was back in town and waitressing at The Roost. Jax is stoked and can't believe Holly is back, he only hopes she ditched her old high school boyfriend, Kent. Grab this book today because not only will you find out what happens when these two see eachother again, you'll also find out Holly's secrets and what's been going on with Jax 's MC since she's been gone. This is an action packed, heart stopping story that you don't want to miss. Loved it and definitely recommend this book as a must read.
Well then! Jax just became my new favorite out of the bunch! I mean.. woo! Jax and Holly's second chance tale is a gritty, love bursting at the seams, hot in ALL the right places romance that once I started, I could not stop! The two protagonists have chemistry I felt throughout the pages, even with all the heartache and danger that surrounds them, the light-hearted wittiness, sexy times and bold in your face love made it all seem worthwhile! Jax is an all-out alpha male with a huge heart! Loyal to a fault, he is swoon material to the highest degree! Holly is a strong, independent woman, who wants what the heart wants, and is not afraid to take chances to get what she desires! Add in a fast moving, hot n heavy, dark MC storyline and you have a book worth reading many times over! The best one yet IMO!
First, I am usually not a fan of MC books, but I have loved all the books in this series, including this one. Their main focus is not violence, and is only used if necessary. One, I love second chances, and two, I love a book with a child in it. Since this book has both, and is written by Ali Parker and Weston Parker, that is three things in its favor, and it lived up to my high expectations. Jax, is a big, tough MC member, very protective, and the sweetest man as he has a second chance with the woman that he loved, but let get away. Holly has come back home with her young son to get away from an angry drunk that is also her husband and her child's father. This book has lots of suspense and action, as well as steamy hotness, humor, and love, all intertwined into a very well written hard to put down book. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and I highly recommend it
>Book Review – Jax >I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 3rd in the Lost Breed MC series and ends in an HEA for the primary couple, but the plot continues. Jax is the womanizer. He meets up with an old high school crush and realizes she is the one. Holly comes with a lot of baggage, though, including a son. >Once again, there is a threat to the MC. This threat is particularly crazy, as he kills with a machete. The threat with Holly’s ex seemed a bit weak. There weren’t any huge battles for custody or anything, just a drunken visit. The final battle is quite vivid and very exciting. > This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. When photos were taken of the MC members and their families, Ryder would have gone nuts. As written, everyone was warned, but no one lost control. A strange reaction to a group of men not known for their control.
I love second chances! Jax has kind of been the joker in the background of the previous books and now her gets to step into the spotlight of his own. Holly was the one that got away from him; a gentle bookworm that made him want to be more. I loved that we get the chance to see what had turned Jax into the player we saw in the earlier books, and I loved even more that Holly is the one to finally tame him. The chemistry between this pair has that special balance that bridges sweet and sizzle. The action that occurs is dynamic and explosive. I can’t wait to see who’s the next member of the club to find his forever and to see how the club weathers the next storm. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.
Wow just wow JAX by Ali and Weston Parker was one fantastic book with action, suspense with some great emotions and very gripping though out the whole strory. The writing is very well done it grabs you from the very start of the book till the very last page. A real page turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat reading quickly so you can see what will happen next. Jax and Holly a wonderfully exciting couple with some major chemistry who go though some dangerous twist and turns with plenty of ups and downs. Worth reading you won’t want to put it down till the conclusion. I absolutely loved this story and 100% recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this Great book.
I chose this rating because this was a really great book. I enjoyed all the characters most of them were intense. I loved the way Jax had com back for every situation wether dangerous or not. Jax was a character. Then he found out his ladylove was back in town. He went to her place of employment. And it was on from there. They were childhood sweethearts. Even though he was part of an MC she was still in love with him even though she had married the wrong man. She left him and came back to her hometown. To sum it all up. Holly and Jax picked up right where they left off. Great read. I recommend this book to all romance readers. Also readers that love a great MC biker story.
I’ve struggled with this series and although I’m finishing to see if it gets better it’s different. So far there’s an MC but no real club. And a President that only is a president when it suits him to be. No real leadership just a follow my orders or else type persona. I’m really hoping that changes in the other books because this MC has good people with good hearts but not what I’d expect. They’re always one step behind because leadership has them behind everything for “fear” of what will happen since they have families. I’m not saying it’s bad it’s just one of the first like this I’ve read and I’m interested to see how they grow further into the series.
Second chance romance between Holly and Jax. After eight years, Holly has returned home after leaving a bad situation and is living with her sister Kim. She chose Kent, her ex, over Jax once before and she won’t make that mistake again. I loved reading their story of how they reunited, dating as adults, and the dramas of having a determined ex, and the pitfalls of being in an MC. There are return visits by some of the characters in the first two books in the series, but you can read this as a standalone, too. I read this in one sitting as I was glued to the action! Loved it!
I received an arc of this book and have voluntarily reviewed it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations for leaving a review. This review is being left voluntarily and any and all opinions are my honest thoughts on this book and the authors work. This duo of Weston Parker and Ali Parker bring us a fantastic book with an intriguing storyline. There is plenty of action, is intense, has hurdles to overcome and a great romance. This story flowed flawlessly and the writing went along smoothly and was understandable throughout. And let's not forget the chemistry that was a hit out of the park. Awesome book with a solid recommendation from me to read.
This is book 3 in the series & it is fabulous. I love MC books that show that these guys are true romantics at heart. With Jax & his club trying to keep the other club off their backs he’s also trying to pick up with Holly his love from high school that left with someone else years ago. She’s back but has a son now. She’s afraid that will make a difference to Jax. But that’s not the problem. It is her ex that comes to town that thinks he can tell her she has to come back to him. Jax has to show her that he means it he wants to be with her & her son. You’ll fall in love with this one as much as you have the others if not more. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Wow...just WOW!!! I can't believe this series just keeps getting better and better. Again, I wasn't able to put it down. Although I loved reading Holly and Jax's story, it took me on such an emotional roller-coaster with laughter, crying, and all the other emotions. I think the two main characters were meant to be together. This book will not disappoint as it has everything, including very steamy in more than one way. Although this is an easy read, you won't want to miss a word of it. It is well written and the characters are well developed. An overall outstanding job. Definitely one I would recommend to one and all.
The men of The Lost Breed series are sexy AF! Ryder, Axel and now Jax... I can not wait for Sabian’s story (awesome name btw). This book is about Jax and Holly. It’s a sort of second chance romance and I found myself truly rooting for them! They both have their own “baggage” that they are dealing with and together they give each other strength to overcome the obstacles they’re facing. It’s sweet and sexy and all consuming. I received this book for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.
Loved this story from the start. The intensity of the feelings, the danger and suspense and the connection between Jax and Holly, this story will grab you and keep you interested until the end. I highly recommend you block out some time, because once you start, you will not be able to put this one down. It was interesting to find out more about Jax and his personality, his loyalty to the club and his devotion to Holly and her son. I received an advanced readers copy of this story and am voluntarily leaving this review.

This is the third story in the Lost Breed MC series, it's a standalone story with no cliffhangers and a wonderful HEA.
Well-written gripping mc story filled with drama and action, Jax has loved Holly forever and she returns home after leaving her abusive ex, before he becomes violent towards her and their son, Luke. While dealing with club business Jax starts anew with Holly, the chemistry is sizzling. He knows what he wants and goes all out to protect what's his. Loved this story and the series...
This was an extremely captivating read that I was sucked into from the very beginning! I love the "Lost Breed Biker" series and this one is my favorite out of the three. It's a stand alone but I do recommend all three of the stories. This is a great second chance for Holly and Jax. I loved Jax this bad boy has such a big heart. I really enjoyed the banter in this story! This book was a roller coaster ride with it's action, suspense, danger, passion, steamy chemistry and romance. It's definitely worth the read!
