Hell's Handlers MC #3
Jigsaw
After being disappointed by her family one too many times, Izzy’s convinced the only person she needs is herself. Seeking a life with fewer relationships, she leaves the bustle of the city and moves to small-town Tennessee. Her plans for quiet and solitude don’t last long after she’s adopted by both the men and women of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle Club.
Once upon a time, Lincoln had a picture-perfect life. Sweet, loving wife, beautiful daughter, enviable career. But one fated night, it’s all wiped out, leaving him scarred both mentally and physically. Now known as Jigsaw, he’s a force to be reckoned with, and a valuable asset to the Hell’s Handlers MC. He’s also done. Done with love, done with dreams, done with women…unless it’s to work off some tension.
Despite their resolve to avoid entanglements, chemistry blazes between Jig and Izzy and becomes harder to resist with each encounter. When the club’s enemies set their sights on Izzy, the Handlers pull her even further into the fold. Everything Izzy believes about families is challenged as Jig and his club prove they can be counted on again and again.
Fighting side by side with a fearless woman, even one as smokin’ as Izzy, isn’t something Jig wants, but it might be exactly what he needs. If club business doesn’t destroy them, is there a chance Jig and Izzy can let go of their pasts and find happiness?

Jigsaw by Lilly Atlas was Hell’s Handlers MC third book. I’m totally in love with this series.
Jigsaw was the MC’s treasurer. He was moody, solemn, brooding, grumpy and angry at life. After a tragedy changed his life forever, he exacted revenge, joined the MC and formed no attachments other than his MC brothers. He mostly stayed away from the women and children and vowed to never get close to a woman again.
Isabelle “Izzy” Monroe had a horrible upbringing. As a result, she was independent, self sufficient, void of friends and family, and totally in control of any interactions with others. She was the new tattoo artist in town and immediately proved her talent and strong warrior status among the MC clan.
Jig and Izzy had off the charts chemistry from the start. They both had tons of baggage and refused to form attachments so they stayed away from each other as much as possible; however, their paths kept crossing once the MC old ladies befriended her. Atlas took us through their interactions alongside an MC plot that was a continuation from previous books.
I loved both Jigsaw and Izzy. They were broken souls but they fit together perfectly. I enjoyed their push and pull, bantering and the developments when layer upon layer were peeled back from both of them. They had tough exteriors but wonderful prizes buried deep within.
All in all, it was action packed, sexy, somewhat suspenseful and a quick and entertaining read. Our favorite characters from past books were central to the storyline as well as a few new ones. Atlas also continued to build the anticipation for Copper and Shell’s story, which thankfully is up next in Copper and I can’t wait!

Jig is a man who now lives a completely different life than he did when his name was Lincoln. That was before his beautiful wife and daughter were brutally murdered and his world came to an end. Lincoln finally ceased to exist that night, he worked his body hard and fought through his pain of his loss and Jigsaw emerged from the broken shell. Emotionless and hard, loyal to his brothers but alone and that’s how he likes it.
Then Izzy enters his world and everything changed, she’s not his type but he finds she is on his mind constantly. Izzy is a spitfire of a woman, she’s strong, likes to rule her own world, depends on no one and will never rely on anyone else ever again, she’s been down that road before and been let down badly. Can she bring feeling back into Jig’s life? Will he let her try?
This was a terrific story. The character development was very good, I liked Jig, his pain and subsequent recovery was very well written and very descriptive. And Izzy was a real fire cracker on the out side but had hidden depth to her character which she wished to keep hidden....a very intriguing lady.
Altogether an awesome read, very entertaining, I can’t wait for Copper and Shelli’s story.

Ehhhhh I have to say I was underwhelmed:( The story started off good but once it got to the whole “underground” fighting for her ummmmm that’s a no for me with my “h”. Then it just fell flat for me unfortunately.
Oh well you win some and lose some. I still enjoy this author and will continue on with her other books for sure:)

Interesting secondary characters.
One look at her shining blue eyes, platinum hair piled high on her head, and the sparkly pink dress that made her look like a feminine present, and he was gone, never to glance at another girl again.
Jig wanted nothing to do with most women. Unless he was fucking them.
He liked ’em blonde, blue-eyed, small, sweet, and docile. Not tall, dark-haired, and mouthy. She’d even shaved the sides of her head, adding to her badass-bitch look.
He’d always had a thing for girly girls. Soft, gentle woman who needed protection. A hardened fighter wouldn’t trip his trigger.
Izzy was the exact opposite of the women he sought out.
“Tiny, blond, blue eyes, delicate, non-assertive, timid…am I right?”
His wife had been prom queen. And he’d been prom king.
With a shrug, Rocket smirked. “Because I figure you’d rather talk about that than why you’re only interested in punishment-fucking women who resemble your dead wife.”
“Shit, woman, you’ve got some power,” he...
Jig half-coughed, half-laughed as he tried to imagine Izzy as one of the Honeys. “Good stock? You running a breeding program now?”
She was not his typical lay.
Never had he hurt a woman, but he rage-fucked, to steal her phrase. It was the truth. Rough, raw, intense, punishing.
No woman would be his. Not ever again. But if he were to have one, he’d sure be proud for it to be Izzy. Shit.
Been there, done that. The T-shirt wasn’t worth it.
“About six and a half years ago, I had a wife and a little girl.”
“They’re both dead now.”
I was a Ph.D. student in physics. I’d never been in a fight, hardly swore, never held a gun. I was…normal.”
“She was the definition of sweet. Small, a tiny little thing, soft-spoken, non-confrontational, a pacifist.”
“She was just a good, loving, supportive wife. We met when we were fifteen, and I fucking loved her.”
I don’t trust anyone, Jig. You get burned too many times, and you learn to only rely on yourself. At this point in my life, I don’t think I can learn anything different. So I have nothing to give you either.”
She wasn’t really his. No woman would ever be his again,
Children… Shit, did she want those? That was one thing he’d sure as fuck never be up for again.
Never before had he felt so connected to another woman on such a raw, primal level. Not even his wife.

Ms. Atlas is one of my favorite MC Romance writers, and I am thoroughly enjoying the Hell Handlers MC series. The stories are filled with amazing characters and beautifully written narratives. From the moment I started reading this tale, I was engrossed in the story. It was refreshing to see Jigsaw take an interest in someone outside his club, which was a delightful surprise.
The scene where Jigsaw and Izzy first met was downright hilarious, and the story continued to be engaging and entertaining throughout. Izzy's sense of humor had me laughing out loud numerous times, making her a standout character. I appreciated the strong female character Izzy portrayed. She was tough, independent, and had a great sense of humor, which attracted Jigsaw to her. Their shared experiences of pain and regret created a strong bond between them.
Izzy was my favorite character, as she was lovable, funny, and fiercely independent. Beneath her tough exterior, she longed for love and connection, which made her relatable and endearing. The drama in the story, involving the club's dangerous activities, added an edgy and emotional element to the narrative. Jigsaw's heartbreaking backstory added depth to his character, making him more relatable and sympathetic. The chemistry between Jigsaw and Izzy was sizzling, and their intimate scenes were passionate and intense. Their connection added a layer of heat and excitement to the story.
Overall, I loved this story from start to finish. It had the perfect blend of drama, romance, and engaging characters. The emotional depth of the story made me both laugh and cry, creating a memorable reading experience. I highly recommend this series to all fans of MC Romance. I am eagerly anticipating the next installment in this captivating series.

They just get better and better y’all! I was not prepared for the way I would connect to the closed off and damaged Jig. And Izzy was the opposite of the ladies we have seen so far in so many ways, all of her fragility something that might never be on display. But how that was opened and expressed to a hard and rough man did everything for me. Also the over all arc of a war between MC and gang is heating up and holy hell its so good.

Izzy moved to town to work at the tattoo shop the guys frequent. When Jig comes in to add on to his tattoo Sparks fly between the fiercely independent Izzy and the grumpy scarred biker. Weeks later they meet up as Izzy goes to fight at the underground fights. The ol' ladies and the guys adopt Izzy into the fold and though Izzy has learnt all her life never to depend on anyone and she moved to town to resist emotional entanglements she soon gets tangled up with Jig, caught up in the mc business and adopted by the extended mc family.
Years ago Jigsaw was another man. He had a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed quiet,shy wife and a lovely daughter until a case of mistaken identity leads to them being brutally murdered and him scarred for life. On his quest for revenge he meets Copper and prospects for the mc. Now Jig is a scarred, fearsome biker with blood on his hands. He rarely smiles, avoids any en ounters with Beth and only has hard punishing sex with women all to avoid having a repeat of his past. His women are all replicas of his dead wife.......until Izzy. The tall, dark haired,fiery badass tattoo artist is the complete opposite of his wife but soon Jigsaw is able to heal from the trauma of his past through his newfound love for Izzy.
The dead ex trope is one I hate and though Jigsaw's ex is mentioned frequently until the very end it didn't bother me. The gruesome manner of her death of course had a huge impact on him and he needed to work his way back from the darkness to the light. I never got the impression that Izzy was second best in any way, especially as she was completely different to his wife.
Izzy reminded me of Zoomie from Katy Wilde's hellfire riders( which I loved). She was a badass who could handle herself and was able to take down grown men in the ring. She, like Jigsaw avoided emotional attachments after seeing her mom marry and divorce different guys until she committed suicide. Izzy has learned that people never stock around and she has her walls up. Though she and Jig started off as hard sex without expectations she falls hard and fast for her biker and his mc family.
I liked them both and understood their reasons for pushing away. The sexy times in this one was fiery though not as frequent as one would expect in an mc book. Still it definitely delivered.
Lefty and his bastards continue kidnapping,raping and selling girls and this one brought me to tears as girls as young as 12 are violated. I'm hopeful that Lefty's reign of terror is stopped soon because the guys,though scoring some wins, are coming across as a little incompetent.
This series has been a pleasant surprise by this new to me author and I'm hopeful each of the guys gets their stories told. Though there are similarities between each of the books so far they're different enough to be interesting.
This one ended with an epilogue with my most favorite part of a romance book. It left me greedy enough to hope this author would give a novella with Jig and Izzy after the happy news.
I'm ending this one on a high and moving hesitantly on to the next. I just know the Copper/Shell storyline will drive me bonkers!

March 15, 2019Let's start off by saying that Ms. Atlas is one of my favorite MC Romance writers.I am really loving the Hell Handlers MC series as the stories are filled with amazing characters as well as having beautifully written stories.
The moment I started reading this tale I was engrossed in the story.I loved that for the first time we were seeing Jigsaw take interest in someone other that his club members and "that was a very happy moment for us."
We loved the scene in which Jigsaw and Izzy/Isabella first met and it was down right hilarious.The story for me was engrossing and engaging from the onset of the story.I loved that the story made me laugh out loud so many times throughout the story and most of it was because of Izzy's sense of humor.
"We absolutely loved her!"
I loved that this story had a strong female character.Izzy was a bad*** in her her own right.I loved that Izzy was such a strong women and this was one of the things that attracted Jigsaw to him in the first place.
I loved that Jigsaw and Izzy had so many things in common and that both were used to living in pain and with regrets.This just was one of the many things that made them ease into the somewhat easy friendship and had an unspoken sense of what the other was feeling most of the time.
Izzy was my favorite character she was just so love-able .I found her to be very funny,be tough as nails,had a sense of humor,was beautiful,independent,detached and interesting and beneath that armor of hers was just a lonely girl who craved for someone to love her and for her to love someone in return.
Jigsaw to Izzy “You’re pretty fu***** fierce, you know that, Iz?”
I loved the drama the story brought as the club was engaged in some serious and dangerous stuff of riding a vipers nest from their territory which made the story edgy.The story was also emotionally engaging and you could not help but, be affected by both Jigsaw and Izzy's stories.Jigsaws story was so heart-wrenching and my heart bleed for the constant pain that man lived in since losing his whole world in a blink of and eye.
"We felt that man's pain!"
Jigsaw impressed me the most throughout the story as we saw him blossom slowly throughout the story and it was all due to Izzy in the fact that she made him feel again and in a sense take interest in life again and not just existing.We loved seeing the "Happy" Jig, but, we also loved the bruting Jig as well.
The chemistry this couple has was hot, hot ,hotter.We loved the super sexy scenes between this couple as they were explosive as well as fun and playful and packed with tons and tons of heat.
Book quote- "The chemistry they shared was enough to burn the place to the ground."
Overall we loved the story from the beginning to the very end and it had the perfect mix of all the things that make us enjoy a story as it had drama,romance,had a great cast of characters that were engaging,fun and love-able.What we enjoyed most of all though was that the story engaged us on an emotional level and how the story made us cry as well as laugh out loud time and time again.
Some of our favorite quotes
“A bird can’t fly with one wing.”
“Now, baby,” she said in a syrupy-sweet voice so un-Izzy, “you know how much I appreciate your love of my sweet a**, but you’re out of your fuc**** mind if you think I’m going to scurry home and bake you a fuc*** ’ pie like the little woman.”
I am so loving this series and I am always looking forward to the next read in this ongoing series.
A Recommended read to all!

4.5 Stars ~ Jess
Jigsaw used to be someone completely different. Like so different, I was a little bit shocked actually. He hasn't really dealt with his tragedy and is that never happy, always moody, the beast on the outside of the crowd.
Izzy is a beast of a woman. She is snarky, bold, and edgy. She is the type to take what she wants when she wants. She doesn't do relationships or people really because she has learned not to rely on anyone but herself. And then she meets the Handlers.
This the 3rd book in this series and in order to really understand the threat that is lingering I would read them in order. You could read this alone and you do get enough information to "get it" but I would start at the beginning. All of these brothers and their women play a role in each other's lives and this problem has been around since the beginning. That being said, Jig and Izzy's story does stand alone. They are fighters and two really strong personalities. They do not want a relationship, they do not do love, one has been down that road before and the other has no interest. But despite all the pushing away, they have this explosive chemistry that is so strong it slaps you in the face.
There was a lot of action, some laughs, tons of tension and also quite a bit of story. There were some parts I felt a little long but it didn't matter because I just enjoy this series that I don't mind spending more time in it. Now I need the next book because this story has been brewing since the beginning and I am dying to know how it plays out.

So good!! So glad I got started on this series and can't get enough of it. This is book... Jigsaw and Izzy. Two of the most screwed up people to grace this MC club but both have good reasons. Don't miss out on this series. I'll give you one hink about this book... They both get what they don't want. If you have read this far into the series then you are probably like me... Wanting the next book and I can't wait to get started.
This book is for adults only

Thoughtful read
With lots of hot sex. Tough as nails Izzy is a great character. I have a girl crush! Guts and determination yet vulnerable and sweet. Great read about trusting and finding love!

Lilly Atlas has become one of my favorite authors! Each book I've read so far is better than the previous one! Jigsaw wasn't an exception! I just L-O-V-E-D it! Izzy was the best kick@ss heroine and just the perfect match for Jig!
November 6, 2018
WOWOWWOWOWOWOW Lilly Atlas you've done it once again just amazing if two broken souls were meant to be it'd be Jigsaw and Izzy my heart broke for them while it beat fast for how much chemistry they shared . Jigsaw is book three in the Hells Handlers series and it can be read as a standalone but why would you want to do that when you can meet the couples in the first two books . Once Izz and Jig meet the attraction is instant but they both fight the pool towards one another until it reaches a breaking point that can't be stopped . Loved how they challenged one another and at times let the other in when no one have broke through the walls that were built . You don't want to miss this it also has also has alot of appearances of a certain couple I lurv and I need the next book to be about a stubborn president and the woman with so much sass she knows howto push his buttons .

Lilly Atlas has brought it to the table with Jigsaw. She has raised the bar and Lord did she raise it. I love The Hell's Handlers MC and the men and women in it.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What a great romance novel!! Not only is he able to take out the bad guys but she is too. Jig has a really rough past experiencing some stuff that no one should ever have to causing him to build a shell around himself. Izzy also has a rough past though different which caused her to build her own wall around her heart. Life throws the two of them together and what starts as a friendship quickly blossoms into more. A feel good romance that deals with real life issues in a realistic manner that really draws you into the story. Great for fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

4.5 Stars. Strong characters with a strong love story between two damaged individuals. Jig is not afraid to let Izzy be herself and watch her be the strong, independent woman she is.

Lilly Atlas is quickly becoming one of my favorite MC author! Her books are amazing.
Jigsaw and Izzy’s book was so good. I read it in one sitting. 2 broken people that find love when they were not looking for it.
Jigsaw’s story is heartbreaking. What happened to him and did family is so awful. My heart broke for him. But that made him the brooding man and the beast he is today.
Izzy suffered her whole life from abandonment. People always leave her and she doesn’t trust anyone. She was bad@ss a Warrior Queen and one of my favorite heroines.
Loved that even though Jigsaw was very much Alpha male and very protective of Izzy, he knew to let het do the things she needed to do.
Very good storyline and love the suspense.
Can’t wait for Copper’s book. I know it’s going to be epic!!
5 amazing stars!!

His warrior was also a queen.
Jigsaw is book #3 in the Hell’s Handlers series. It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend you start with Zach, book #1 and then Maverick book #2. They lay the foundation of the Hell’s Handlers series. There is a major situation that is carried over from book to book as well. Jigsaw can absolutely be read as a stand-alone but you will miss some of the back stories and understanding of certain characters. Now that my warnings are done here is my review!
Hell’s Handler’s. That’s what he was. That’s who he was. A biker, an outlaw, a man with a past who suffered.
We meet Jigsaw (Jig) in book #1. His story tore me up and that was only the surface story. This beautiful broken man stole my heart! His past has led him to guard his heart. He is unwilling to suffer as he once had with the devastating loss of his wife and daughter. Fate taught him a terrible lesson. One he never wants to repeat. He still bears the physical scars as a reminder. Jig is soooo alpha! As his layers are peeled away we see his transition from Lincoln to Jigsaw. He is so raw, brooding, sad and almost detached. He avoids relationships all together for fear of getting hurt.
He liked’em blonde, blue-eyed, small, sweet and docile. Not tall, dark-haired and mouthy.
Let’s talk about Isabella (Izzy)! What an amazing heroine!!! I love her! Strong, tough, fearless, brave and independent. She too has a history and had a tough youth. Disappointment, neglect and loneliness. This has left her hesitant to form relationships for fear of being hurt or abandoned. I love her ability to be a bad-ass and yet still be feminine. Jig and Izzy meet and the sparks fly!
Not only had she interrupted him, sassed him, and tossed attitude at him, she’d thrown down a challenge. His damned male pride left him no choice.
I am loving the Hell’s Handlers series! I am glad I took the time to go back and start at book #1 Zach. It is well written and has just the right amount of “grit” to it! There are many secondary characters that flow throughout the series as well. There is also humor between the Handler’s and a certain amount of “ribbing” they give each other. But that ties closely with the love and respect that they have for one another and their significant others. Lilly Atlas is a new to me author and I am glad I took a chance on her!
I am now on to Copper- Hell’s Handler’s #4!! If you are look for a sexy, hot MC series with strong men and even stronger women then Hell’s Handlers is for you!!!
He wanted to conquer her. To get this strong as hell woman to submit to his every desire.
4.25 stars

So, I'm continuing my introduction into the MC genre with Jigsaw. This is the third installment in the Hell's Handlers MC series and WOW.....this was INTENSE! Not having read the other two I didn't feel lost at all so I'm comfortable saying it can be read as a standalone.
"Jigsaw" aka Lincoln Miller had had one of the most gut wrenching pasts.....something that was out of his control but something you can never overcome. I think some may misjudge Izzy or have preconceptions about her. The way she was raised and life experiences have made her hard, aloof and tough, to me she's a complete bad ass!
When Izzy and Jig meet it's like, can two broken, tortured souls ever mend, ever soften enough to let there shields down?
Jigsaw is an emotional and turbulent story. It is off the charts hot and I live for the banter between these two! I'll definitely read this author again!

Jigsaw by Lilly Atlas was an MC read that made me want more from this series and this trope. It’s the 3rd installment in the Hell’s Handlers series by this author but reads as a standalone. I never felt like I was missing any puzzle pieces to these characters but rather wanted to go back and read previous books because I really liked the others brother’s and their leading ladies.
I enjoyed the storyline and writing style of this author. There was darkness and tough subject matter but it was done in a way that didn’t make me want to turn away. The characters personal demons were understandable and the way it was developed made them easy to connect to.
This read was 3.75/4 stars for me and makes me want to dive into the MC trope even more.

Jigsaw is a stand-alone adventure in Lilly Atlas's Hell's Handlers MC campaign. Jigsaw does his best to avoid relationships outside of the club after the death of his wife and child years before. Izzy avoids relationships due to a history of abandonment by everyone she should have been able to count on. When Izzy crosses paths with minions of the BBEG from the prior book, the tentative friendship they've built while working out together at the Handler's gym starts to become more than either of them expected.
Skill Check Success
- Izzy is a smart, strong FMC that stands up for herself, doesn't shy away from trouble, and has enough wisdom to avoid being TSTL.
- Jig's ability to deal with Izzy's strength and walk beside her instead of trying to be the party leader.
Skill Check Misses
- Something said during the heat of the moment results in a dreaded 3rd act breakup.
Overall, this adventure was a success, and I enjoyed it enough to want to continue the campaign.

This book was ok. Jigsaw had a bad past and Izzy was a real badass woman. All in all a good read, but I can't stand it, when the story is just about 30% of the book, and the rest is just rolling around in the bedsheets, on the countertops, in the car, at a party, in the gym....... about 4 times a day, every second page.....

Coming from a world where you are known as Lincoln to become a person named Jigsaw means that you have been through some trauma that would make a man break. Reading how things work out for him in this story was really a ride.

Adorei, achei a história bem construída e interessante.
Só não dei 4 estrelas porque senti que estava lendo um livro no meio da série, e não sei porque isso me incomodou.

God this series takes a little more of my heart with every book. I'm so glad Jigsaw found love after the hell he had to endure. This series is an amazing MC read. ❤️

I really loved Jig but his book fell shy of short for me. Didn’t care for Izzy either-reminded me of a guy!
