Hades Hangmen #6.5
Beauty Found
EVEN IN HELL, THERE IS BEAUTY TO BE FOUND.
There is life before the Hangmen. There is life before your soulmate is found.
There is life even when all seems lost.
Shane ‘Tank’ Rutherford is just seventeen when, escaping his father’s lethal fists, he ends up on the streets. Fighting for survival, he finds himself suddenly saved. Saved by a group that takes him under their wing.
A group that everyone knows . . . the Texas Ku Klux Klan.
Years later, Tank is disillusioned from the Klan and what they stand for. Recently released from prison, he is lost in a world he no longer knows. He is on his own. Until he picks up a woman hitchhiking on the side of a road. A beauty queen dressed in pink.
Susan-Lee Stewart is done with the crowns. She’s done with the glitz and glamor of pageant life. And she’s done with the bruises . . . the bruises gifted by the one person who should love her unconditionally—her mother.
Seconds after taking yet another pageant title, Susan-Lee makes a split decision and flees the stage. Flees the glossy life of a pageant queen, flees her violent mother . . . and jumps straight on the back of a tattooed muscled god’s motorcycle . . .
And never looks back.
As Susan-Lee holds tightly to Tank’s waist, neither of them know it’s a chance meeting that will change both their lives, and their hearts, forever.
There are stories of how you find your other half. There are stories of how someone can save your soul when all hope is lost.
Before they were Tank and Beauty, they were Shane and Susan-Lee. Two lost hearts who, together, were finally found.
Contemporary dark romance. Contains scenes of violence, offensive language, mature topics and sexual situations.
Recommended for ages 18 and over.

About the author
Tillie Cole
60 books26.1k followersAmazon & USA Today Best Selling Author, Tillie Cole, is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.
Being a scary blend of Scottish and English, Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her much loved dirty jokes.
Having been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.
Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed – they’re her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!
After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl... Ye-haw!

4 stars!!
Tank and Beauty’s story is the Hangman book I didn’t know I needed, but I was so happy to get this treat! Tank is one of the club members that I always found interesting, and I wanted to learn more about his past. I also love Beauty. She is a tough, but a kind soul and an awesome old lady. Hades Hangmen fans- You need this book! It does not disappoint!
Shane ‘Tank’ Rutherford had a rough life growing up. At 17, he found some guys that took him in and treated him like family. A true brotherhood. But after spending some time in jail and reflecting on his life, he realizes the Klan isn’t where he is meant to be. It’s not what he stands for and he wants out. The only person there he truly cares about is the guy he still considers a brother, Tanner. But even with Tanner there and at his back, he can’t stay.
On the day he gets out, Susan-Lee is trying to escape her life as well. As a beauty queen, even though she’s 25, she’s abused and walked all over by her mother. She can’t stand it another second. As she’s making her escape, there is Tank on his bike. She jumps on the back and they’re inseparable after that. It’s meant to be.
Tank soon finds himself in the company of the Hangmen. It’s a different kind of brotherhood, and they are hesitant to welcome him into it due to his Klan past, but Tank quickly proves himself. I loved seeing some of the older Hangmen and some of my favorites as young guys. I love these books so much! This story was fantastic and I can’t wait for more. I’m even more stoked to get Tanner’s book after reading this one!
Beauty Found is a novella that has a lot of steam and a lot of heart. Of course, it’s a bit raw and violent (I mean this series… LOL) but a for sure must read for all readers of this series. And if you haven’t read these books and you like biker books, I can’t recommend them enough!

**** 4.5 Stars!!!! ****
I’m rating this higher than I usually do for novellas; basically because I just love visiting my Hades Hangmen in any capacity! This is the story of how Tank and Beauty found each other and the Brotherhood!!! It also gives great background on Tanner and Tank’s friendship history! Perfect timing as I believe the next instalment is Tanner’s book!
If you haven’t dived into the world of the Hangmen... and you like dark reads.... then this series must be a priority! In my opinion it is one of the best! It is really dark though; but even with the darkness, this series has some of the most epic romances in the whole genre! An added bonus in this series are the covers of these books! They are 100% perfect to each story and so beautiful!
As you can tell, I’m a huge fan of this series and I can’t say enough about it!

MY REVIEW can also be found on my blog:
KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
So when a book by Tillie Cole arrives on your kindle, you put life on hold and you read it, this was a tease for what's to come, one minute I was reading, in my Tillie Cole bubble and the next minute I'd finished it, this was a super quick read, but it still packed one hell of a punch. I definitely can't wait for the next book to see where these characters are going to take us.
These two had very similar backgrounds, both abused by the very people who should be there to protect them, but that isn't how this story goes, beauty's mother reigns fists over her continuously and Tank aka Shane finds himself living on the streets after taking a beating from his old man to end all beatings, not long after living it rough he's surrounded by a group of young Mexican thugs who try stealing his wordly possessions he has in his bag, only to be rescued by a gang of whites and that's how he finds himself in one of the most feared white supremacy gangs in the country becoming one of the brothers in arms he befriends Tanner.
Doing a stint in prison and out way before his time due for good behaviour not knowing what was awaiting him on the outside we see him on that same day walking away from the gang life.
With no destination in mind he rides with freedom in his veins he encounters a damsel in distress flagging down his bike fleeing the shit storm of pageant life she's left behind.
Their attraction is instant, instant lust, instant love.

*****FOUR STARS*****
Tank and Beauty's story was not bad, but not quite as good as the other books in the series.
I realize this was a lead into the next book which is about Tanner. I think these stories need to be full-length novels because then we get all the drama, the darkness, and the all-consuming romances.

The romantic story is an instant love pretty hot and cute.
Entertaining, and leaves us wanting to see the story of Tanner.
BUT...
How did Shane know that the men who attacked him were Mexican?
It is impossible to know the nationality of someone just by looking at them, the only solutions I can think of is 1- Shane was already a racist before being part of the KKK or 2- The stereotyping of the story is a reflection of the author.
Whatever it was, it was a detail that ruined my reading.
“The way I see it, I get protection from a savage, muscled god, and you get free pussy on tap. What’s there to consider?”

Beauty Found is actually a short story, not a full-length novel. I only read it because I actually liked Beauty. She appeared in the previous books. She is sassy and strong.
This book focuses on how Tank and Beauty became a couple and joined the Hades Hangmen. Overall, I enjoyed it.

It has been a hot minute since I have picked up a Hades Hangmen book. But, I have to say, this was the perfect book to jump back into the series as it follows our OG couple - Beauty and Tank.
I am not going to say much regarding this book because it is a novella so anything I could say will be spoilerish. So instead - can we talk about just how awesome I think it is that every member inside the Hades Hangmen have their own little group? I love seeing them come together in one big group to form the Hades Hangmen, but I adore when they break away into their little groups. I love seeing the dynamics of it. And, of course, we get to see just who is in Tank's circle and how they came to be close in this one. ♥
I can't wait to dive into Darkness Embraced.
5 stars!

Una novela corta de mis Hangmen WUUUJU
Viene siendo como una precuela porque todos los acontecimientos ocurren antes del primer libro que es el de Styx pero también sirve para poner las bases para el libro de Tanner.
Bueno pues la historia es de una pareja muy querida que ya estaba formada desde el inicio y son Beauty y Tank.
Narra su vida antes de que Tank fuera un miembro de los Hades Hangmen de formó parte del ku klux klan porque salió de ahí y por qué ahora está con los Hangmen.
También se conoce un poquito sobre Beauty como una Beauty Queen de ahí su Nickname. Ella odiaba esa vida tuvo que lidiar con una madre controladora que vivía la vida a través de la de ella y por qué abandonó todo.
La historia de amor de Beauty y Tank fue muy intalove o sea MUUY , o sea se conocieron él la ayuda a escapar, al día siguiente él la defiende de un mano larga a la hora ya tienen sexo ya son inseparable forever.
En tiendo que tuvo que ser así porque es una historia muy corta y no esperaba tanto pero podría haber estado un poquito mejor.
Aunque no me quejo porque es una novela para que la esperara del siguiente libro sea más llevadera.
Algo que no me gustó y me van a decir que delicada eres Grecia es de los estereotipos sobre los mexicanos is seriously? Tillie Cole, you too.
Ahora sólo me queda esperar el libro de Tanner donde espero una guerra épica llena de acción gore y a mi Psycho Trio es su máxima expresión HE DICHO.
PD. Odié al papá de Styx que cabrón, como humillaba a mi pobre y amado Prez

“Live Free. Ride Free. Die Free!”
You can take a man out of the brotherhood, but you can't take the Brotherhood out of a man. So when Shane "Tank" Rutherford is rescued by Tanner Avery & Trace from a beat down, he thinks he's found his place in the world, but in fact they are using him by fanning his flames of hatred for their own ends. To keep a bullshit race war going where they see themselves on top of the race heap as White Supremacists. Tank is on the run and meets this beautiful girl who would change his life and path with immense love
A fucking beauty queen in a crown and sash climbing onto my bike changed it all.
She does hop on his bike and hop in his life to make it better. Tank gets a true companion for his travels and decides to keep her, till he meets Reaper Nash of the dreaded Hades Hangmen.
It takes a lot of patience and loyalty to be accepted.
We get to see Styx and Ky in their childhood and it's like meeting old friends again. This series just keeps on giving and giving. Still mesmerising, still captivating and still full of brotherly love and undying loyalty, it's always a pleasure visiting Hades Hangmen. From reading the end, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the Nazi Bastard- Tanner Ayers. Till then, ride a biker and save the Brotherhood!
5 "Beauty Crown stars"

“Ky Willis. VP’s kid. Resident slut. “
I stared at the door he’d just gone through. “Fuck. That kid’s prettier than me. Bastard”.
▫️ Beauty wins in life ▫️
5 well- deserves stars and my no. 1000 book read since August 2011!
*yes, I just high-fived myself #notsorry 😈
It’s not a secret I got a soft spot for Tillie Cole and her Hangmen series. (Because who wouldn’t, right?) 🖤
Beauty and Tank have been big characters in the previous books and I always wondered how they came to be.
Now? I finally got my answers and they were beautiful. I ship Beauty & Tank so goddamn much!
Beauty is sassy, got backbone and one filthy mouth.
Tank is big, strong and oh so dreamy!
Both of them has had a shitty past, and yet they conquer their obstacles and yes, I know this is cliché, but they really are stronger together.

1st. rating: 5 stars
Genre/tropes: Dark Romance/ MC
Will I recommend: With all of my heart!
Bonus info: Cannot be read as a single book. Must start with “It ain’t me,babe” (trust me you will fall in love with Styx!- Uh and FYI he is taken- like.. they are all kinda taken, so just forget it 😂)
Trigger Warning: Yes, if you don’t like it dark, this is definitely not the book for you.

‘They’d let me in. Beauty and me…we were no longer alone.’
If like us, you’ve read every book in the Hades Hangmen series, you were thrilled to hear Beauty and Tank were going to get their story. They’ve been in the background and forefront of every book, and we’d always hoped to learn a little more about them. We were eager to know how they met, to gain an insight into how they came to be such an integral part of the Hades family. Just how did their club names evolve, and how did they earn their place in the inner sanctum of the MC Club? Well, Tillie answers all these questions as we go back to where it all began and discover how two lost souls found each other, and how this love has survived the test of time.
Shane Rutherford was only seventeen when he fled home, leaving behind an abusive father and ending up vulnerable and living on the streets. He was ‘saved’ by what he thought was a brotherhood, a family, however, it was anything but. He had stepped into the KKK, yet as messed up and dangerous as it was, it was a family – something the young Shane so craved. And by sheer consequence (and luck) fleeing this life lead him into the path of another runaway escaping her own nightmare, a woman who would own Shane’s heart.
Live Free. Ride Free. Die Free.
It was while Susan-Lee Stewart was fleeing her abusive and controlling mother that she came face to face with Shane ‘Tank’ Rutherford and it was a meeting that would see the outgoing and ballsy Susan-Lee, meet the man who would become her everything.
In this Novella, Tillie Cole takes us to the very early days of the Hades Hangmen, when Styx and Ky were still young ‘uns living in the shadow of their Pres and VP fathers. Oh gosh, it was crushing to be reminded how ridiculed Styx was at the hands of his father, old memories stirred in our hearts that’s for sure. It also reminded us why this series remains one of our top MC reads and how Tillie’s words can have such a profound effect on us.
‘Family. As fucked-up as this place was, I guessed it was one.’
Beauty Found was a wonderful insight into two characters we’ve come to know and love throughout the series. Gaining an understanding of their bond and realising the importance of the Hades brotherhood bond was to the young Tank, was indeed a treat and a perfect addition to the Hades Hangmen Series.

Beauty Found is the story of how Tank & Beauty came to be the couple they are, it was a great insight into this loved up couple from the Hangmen family.
Tank left home at 17 years old and was looking for something better than the life he had living with his father. This led him into a life with some pretty hateful, evil men who took him under their wing, filling his head with bullshit. After a stint in prison he gets the opportunity to escape that life and hits the road on his bike, hoping to find a job as a bike mechanic.
Beauty has had enough of being paraded around from pageant to pageant by her mother and does a runner, like a bride escaping the altar. She literally collides into Tank & his motorbike, then takes up his offer to jump on the back to ride off into the sunset. Well, not quite a sunset, more like a dingy motel on the highway. One thing leads to another and these two are getting up close and personal.
“Get ready, Beauty Queen.” I opened my legs wide and turned my head, speaking against his lips. “You get ready, big boy. You ain’t ever had a pussy as tight as mine.”
When they come across the President of Hades Hangmen having trouble with his motorbike, Tank impresses him with his mechanic knowledge and is summoned to the club house. Tank’s background and white supremacist tattoos do not endear him to most of the club but over time they realise he is a guy they can trust.
All Tank has ever wanted was to be part of a brotherhood and find a place he can call home, he feels like he finally has that. With these men and sharing this life with Beauty. However, the guys he ran from are set on revenge so finding his happy ever after will not be without blood shed.
I forgot just how crass these guys could be and I loved every moment of being back in this world!

Beauty Found by Tillie Cole is book 6.5 of the Hades Hangmen series. This is a novella for Tank and Beauty.
I loved this book, Beauty has always been one of my favorite characters. Getting some of hers and Tanks background and how Tank joined the club was amazing. These two together are perfection together. 🩵

Beauty Found is a novella featuring an established couple in the Hades Hangmen series Tank and Beauty. I always find novella's difficult to fully enjoy because they usually feel rushed and too short but this one was awesome and I loved it from beginning to end. Tank and Beauty are both running from their past and trying to find a home. I loved how they met and how strong their connection was from the very beginning. Their chemistry is off the charts and they complement each other so well. I loved how Tank and Tanner's friendship was explained from the beginning and I can't wait to read Tanner's book.

Too bad it was so short. I wouldn't mind a full novel about Tank and Beauty. They were an absolutely amazing couple. And I'm dying to read Tanner's book. Seriously, I'm so hyped now. His book better be good or I will go crazy.

2 1/2 Stars.
I didn't love it. I didn't even really like it, but it was okay. If you're a fan of the Hades Hangmen series, then go for it. I think it will help set-up for Tanner's book. Happy reading.

Üff üff çıksa da okusam be 🤤😍
Edit: Üfff arefe arefe ne günahlar, ne günahlar 😇😇 Şuncacık novella bile hazların en büyüğünü veriyor. Hangmenin ölüsü bile yeter ayol 😎
Not: Viking ne pezevenk bir piç olduğunu sahip olduğun 5 cümlede gösterdin. Aferin kerata, gözüme giriyorsun😏😏

I loved getting the back story of Tank and Beauty! Just knowing it was the fans who demanded this story from Tillie Cole and that she delivered makes me love her all the more!
So, when's the next book???

Esta fue una historia perfecta. Comparada a la historia anterior (que fue un libro de relleno😑) este libro me hizo recordar a esos primeros libros de la serie y también por qué esta autora era una de mis favoritas.
Beauty es una prota con un buen par bien puestos. Muy valiente y guerrera por su hombre.
Y Tank me encanto, este hombre fue otro valiente y con las cosas claras. Un digno Verdugo no como algunos (ajan el llorón de Rider😒).
No soy muy fan de las historias cortas pero con esta estoy satisfecha, fue una buena historia y no tengo nada que le restara.

Love Beauty and Tank!!!!

did you know I'm the slut of age gaps, got a taste for men who're older, BUT I can't stand with older women. Beauty is just 3 years older than Tank (h-25, H-23) but still can't... even if he looks like older or huge everywhere. IDK. watever. that's not the case.
I'm not saying that I dont like it, from the start I wanted to read their story. just Beauty's speech not my style, telling 'darling' at the end of every damn sentences,,, you are the beauty queen for fuck sake not a corner girl. watever. that's not the case.
THE CASE IS tell me when I'm gonna (not will) read my silly boy Ky; having his birth pangs, or Lilah craving for food or that her/their challenging pregnant times, that is my silly boy making silly things without silliness or going insane while she is giving birth or crying when he saw their baby; all these his sweet rushes n' punky proudness n' especially anxious silliness OR the scenes between Grace and Ky, their dad-daughter relationships that will make me kill myself? when I'm gonna (not will) read?
Cuz' still I didnt satisfied about Ky, not with his book, even not with novellas. you can NOT leave me in this mood. you can NOT do dis to me! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU...

BEAUTY FOUND é um livro curto que vem pra mostrar pra gente como Tank e Beauty se conheceram e entraram para os Hades Hangmen. Foi um livro mais "leve" em comparação aos outros e eu simplesmente adorei a relação desses dois. Esse livro me fez ver esses dois de maneira diferente. Eu imaginava que eram bem mais velhos e pelo livro a gente vê que o Tank, por exemplo, é só 5 anos mais velho que o Styx. O conto também já nos introduziu um pouco da história do Tanner, que é o principal de Darkness Embraced. Recomendo.

Oh I really really love this one! Beauty has since book one been one of my favorites and so to see the origins of her and Tank beyond the passing phrase in other books was awesome. Their entire story felt a little bit like a fairy tale via the trailer park. It wasn’t glamorous by any means, but it was the sweetest damn thing. And seeing glimpses of young Styx and Ky was so worth it too. Now I would really like Letti and Bull to get a story, please and thank you!

‘They’d let me in. Beauty and me…we were no longer alone.’
If like us, you’ve read every book in the Hades Hangmen series, you were thrilled to hear Beauty and Tank were going to get their story. They’ve been in the background and forefront of every book, and we’d always hoped to learn a little more about them. We were eager to know how they met, to gain an insight into how they came to be such an integral part of the Hades family. Just how did their club names evolve, and how did they earn their place in the inner sanctum of the MC Club? Well, Tillie answers all these questions as we go back to where it all began and discover how two lost souls found each other, and how this love has survived the test of time.
Shane Rutherford was only seventeen when he fled home, leaving behind an abusive father and ending up vulnerable and living on the streets. He was ‘saved’ by what he thought was a brotherhood, a family, however, it was anything but. He had stepped into the KKK, yet as messed up and dangerous as it was, it was a family – something the young Shane so craved. And by sheer consequence (and luck) fleeing this life lead him into the path of another runaway escaping her own nightmare, a woman who would own Shane’s heart.
Live Free. Ride Free. Die Free.
It was while Susan-Lee Stewart was fleeing her abusive and controlling mother that she came face to face with Shane ‘Tank’ Rutherford and it was a meeting that would see the outgoing and ballsy Susan-Lee, meet the man who would become her everything.
In this Novella, Tillie Cole takes us to the very early days of the Hades Hangmen, when Styx and Ky were still young ‘uns living in the shadow of their Pres and VP fathers. Oh gosh, it was crushing to be reminded how ridiculed Styx was at the hands of his father, old memories stirred in our hearts that’s for sure. It also reminded us why this series remains one of our top MC reads and how Tillie’s words can have such a profound effect on us.
‘Family. As fucked-up as this place was, I guessed it was one.’
Beauty Found was a wonderful insight into two characters we’ve come to know and love throughout the series. Gaining an understanding of their bond and realising the importance of the Hades brotherhood bond was to the young Tank, was indeed a treat and a perfect addition to the Hades Hangmen Series.

The Hades Hangmen is one of my favorite series, so I am all for novellas releasing during my wait for the next book to come out. I loved reading about how Tank and Beauty met and how they became a part of the Hangmen. Normally, these two would never even cross paths, however circumstances and being somewhere at the right time and right place made it possible. There were parts that were difficult to read but it did give us background information on both characters. I also think this novella is a great bridge to the next book which is Tanner's story, because we got to learn about his connection to Tank/Hangmen. Normally, novellas aren't really my thing because I find them to be too short, but I really enjoyed this one. Tillie Cole did a great job in giving us pretty much almost a complete story that had suspense, romance (plus HOT SEX), and humor. I am now even more excited for Darkness Embraced to release.

Short story on how Beauty and Tank met, and how Tank became one of the Hangmen members.
It also showed you some of Tanks and Tanners background and how they became friends.
A good instalment to the series.
