Rebel Guardians Next Generation #3
Maxum & Lily
Growing up in the shadows of everyone in the Rebel Guardians, Lily finds that it’s hard to break free of the ‘little girl’ mentality that her parents, as well as her aunts and uncles, have, at least where she’s concerned. Maybe it’s because of the issues she’s had since she was a teenager, but living under the proverbial thumb has gotten on her last nerve. Toss in a biker who has commitment issues, and she’s all over the place emotionally. When her brother, Luca, asks her to come visit, she practically tosses everything into her car and takes off.The first time he saw her, she was just a little girl. Even then her soul called to his, he watched her bloom into a beautiful, courageous woman. Maxum feels cold and dead inside… unless she’s around. As she’s grown and matured, his thoughts for her have changed from that of a brotherly type of love. She’s no longer a gangly little girl, she’s a siren, a vixen, a charmer and he’s under her spell. But his past won’t allow him to love her, to honor her, to give her everything her heart is all but begging him for. But things come to light, and Maxum must make a decision. It’ll be the hardest one of his life. Time to face those demons and overcome the monsters that sleep under his bed. When the past threatens the future, who will remain standing? **Suitable for ages 18+ due to language and adult situations**

Finally the Lily's book!
We saw bit of Lily and Maxum chemistry in the previous books of the series, bit here bit there. So we all had in mind that something was going to happen really soon. When her brother's invite her to visit them she doesn't take a long to get ready and in the highway.
There is chemistry, there is love in the air but both carry their own skeletons and for different reasons they are afraid of commitment... But...

Maxum and Lily
From the start of this book, till the very end, this couple had to endure loss and tragedy, but like everything else there’s a happy ending. Lily and Maxum had to come together and figure out that their past could not prevent them from learning to love each other in the best manner ever. They had to lose themselves first before anything else. Lily, has to lose the only man that she has ever loved, but when tragedy hits, she now has to lose her sanity and through it all Maxum is in the mix of it all, how amazing this couple true love to each other has conquered Not only for their sake, but for those around them. This was an emotional book, especially because of the tragedy between Lily and Maxum. Can’t wait to see what this author writes next.

Maxim & Lily
So unexpected! After Jaxson and Rae’s book, I guess I thought there would be clear sailing and a sweet story. So much! There was so much that happened! But their love carried them through and it is amazing! ❤️

Liberty Parker, Darlene Tallman, were do I start with this review, apart from saying this book is fantastic
I was pulled into this book right from the get go, that is where I stayed until, I had finished every single word that was written. Although I had my mini movie, I felt as if I was taking on the parts of certain characters. That doesn't happen very often. But I am so pleased it happened in this book.
There are twists, turns and surprises, throughout the pages of this book. Some of the surprises you may see coming, where as others you won't. Some of the surprises are large where as others are small. Some might even hit you in the face. But it doesn't matter the size of the surprise or how it appears in the book, as each and every single one of them has an equal part to play within the book. I do have to say though, if I could of gotten a hold of one of the main characters and given them a good shake or knocked their head against a brick wall I would off.
The emotions that the characters go through can be felt, I went through the emotions along with the character, didn't matter if they were frustrated, sad, angry, happy, crying. I was there with them. I cried more than any of the characters.
Liberty and Darlene have done it again, they have given us another fantastic story, that when you read it you can tell it was written with love, their love for the characters and the love they have for us the readers.
Personally I am so grateful that they love and want to share there stories with us. I look forward to what is next.

Finally we get Lily’s story and it did not disappoint! We got little bits in the previous book in this series about Maxum and Lily’s relationship, so the start of this book was somewhat abrupt start into their relationship; it all makes sense if you read the series in order. I was so happy that we got to know a little more background on Lily and the series come somewhat full circle with the story that started in involving her father, but in that story we didn’t get to know much about her in childhood, so it was nice to fill in the blanks. My heart absolutely broke for Maxum and his childhood, and it was understandable when he was backed into somewhat of a corner he did what he thought was best, which was to push Lily away. True to the series though, some surprises along the way, and the biggest of all was the catalyst of the storyline since there was no notation about it in the book up until that point, but not only did the book come full circle but the series as a whole did as well. Without giving too much away, I adored this storyline and the character of Lily (and Maxum as well), and can’t wait for the next book in this series!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Maxum and Lily really blew me away! You don't often see a book start out after they have gotten together, but no commitment. They are in a friends with benefits situation with Lily hoping that he will realize they are meant to be together. Maxum can't see past the crap in his head to really examine how he feels about Lily. He breaks it off, hurting Lily and she takes off to visit her brother. He the proceeds to completely falls down the jerk-hole and makes everyone around him want to kick him in the butt. With an intervention by his MC brothers, he gets his head on straight and starts to make changes. This part really took me by surprise in the best possible way. You don't see a lot of guys, especially MC guys taking such major steps to be a better man for his woman. The journey for these two was just amazing to experience. I was so impressed with the storyline, the writing. I am completely in love with this next generation and I am excited to see where we go from here!

This series just keeps getting better and better. I have read every single book in the series and I always find myself entranced with each and every story. So in this book We get Maxum and Lily's story. This book is full of heartbreak, unconditional love, and then finally true love. Maxum's younger years are anything but good. He was mistreated and made to feel like he was nothing. As you can imagine that carried over into his adult years. Lily has always been loved and cherished throughout her life. They have known each other forever, and have an agreement between each other. When feelings come into play hearts get broken. They both realize they are made for each other and fight for their forever.

I have loved the Rebel Guardians from the very first book and this series just keeps getting better with each book. Maxum and Lily's story was absolutely amazing. Thanks to a little help from my man Hatch Maxum takes a big step in getting not only his life, but his life with Lily back on track. My heart broke for Maxum as he told Lily and his brother his story. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in in love with Maxum and Lily as they start a new chapter of their lives not only as a married couple, but as parents. I can't wait to see what names Axe comes up since he doesn't want to be called Grandpa lol. I can't wait for Tig's story!! Ladies you have done it once again...y'all keep writing I'll keep reading!

So good.
This series by Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman is one of my favorites. The Rebel Gaurdians are an awesome bunch of MC Brother's who came together and found the loves of their lives through heartache and torment but came out better and stronger then anyone hoped. This next generation series is filled with the same heat and action as the first I love how the characters intertwine the funny banter between them and the old ladies who keep it real. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Wow! These two totally had my attention. Every book in this series just keeps getting better!!! I absolutely love the next generation. So, it’s Maxim & Lily’s turn. These two have known each other forever and are best friends turned lovers. However, Maxims past wont allow him commit to Lily. You can imagine how well that goes over with all the men!!! This is a story of deep love and redemption. I absolutely loved this book!!!!

In this book they are only with others. I usually don't care stories where the H doesn't think that he is good enough, so it took me a while to warm up to this one and ended up really liking it. I did feel sorry for the h in the beginning wishing , I don't know, wishing she stood up and said you know what? I do need more than this! I liked how he got help and seeing everyone from the previous stories. Looking forward to this year with these authors.

A wonderful read
I fell in love with Maxum and Lily's story. A man who overcomes his demons for the one he loves. This book had my emotions all over the place. One minute I'm crying, laughing and hanging on the edge of my seat. Liberty and Darlene knocked it out of the park. A great story of love that can conquer anything.

This book made me fall apart, but was slowly put back together again. This was beautifully emotional, filled with determination, and unconditional love. I was absolutely blown away. Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman are amazing storytellers in their own right, but put them together and WOW! Simply Perfect! Cant wait to see what comes next.

Escaping the past
The story was heartbreaking then possibly the sweetest thing ever. These two come together in a relationship where one wants everything and the other thinks he isn't good enough. Enter nosy family, a surprise baby, and a kidnapping and you have a story sure to please, really enjoyed this read.

Maxum And Lily!
I've always love the Rebel Guardians and to have the ability to also read the next generation is unbelievable. Maxum And Lily may have had a rocky start from the beginning but with the support of their family and their love for each other they were able to make it, love it.

This book will take from one emotion to the next and will leave you breathless with all the action, twist and turns, steam and will have tears in your eyes. Maxum and Lily are made for each other but will one of them keep them apart? Amazing read and can't wait to read more. These two ladies know how to keep on the edge and wanting more

Loved it!
This is by far one of my top 10 series! Seems like I waited forever for Lili and Maxims story, and it was so worth the wait. Can’t wait for Tig, and book three of the Nelson Brothers!

This book was amazing. Maxim and Lily grew up together and it was inevitable that these two would fall in love. Their journey to their HEA wasn't easy but through it all it made them stronger together. I can't wait to see what's next.

Wow
My heart hurt in this book for what all Lily and Maxum went through and how strong their love is . Seeing the usually calm and cool men in the MC lose their heads for this couple my heart is full.

Okay
This was a sweet quick read. Nothing stellar about it nothing too bad about it. My only complaint is that it seemed a bit cheesy to the point I was rolling my eyes and cringing.
