Ralynn Hatchet has known since she was six years old that she loved Jaxson Boone. Even though he was twelve years older than she was and happened to be a new prospect in the MC her father was an enforcer for, the Rebel Guardians. Despite her best efforts, he never noticed or paid any attention to her, not even as she got older. Now a young adult, she’s still in love with him, only she’s tired of his lame excuses. Determined to move on with her life, she begins dating Marcus Welch, but she soon realizes that what she thought about him is, in fact, untrue.

Jaxson Boone hasn’t had an easy life, until he found the Rebel Guardians MC. While he’s always noticed Ralynn, it was as a child, since she was so much younger than him. As she grows into a beautiful, headstrong young woman, he does whatever he can to stop his attraction towards her, convinced that he’s no good. He will stay away from her, not only out of respect for his brother, but because he can bring her nothing but heartache.

All of Jaxson’s self-made promises go out the window when he witnesses something that raises his blood pressure beyond the boiling point. Realizing that the one woman he has been pushing away is the one he needs to make his life whole, he now has to work to show Ralynn just what she means to him.

I have been an avid reader for most of my life. When I was younger I used to sit and fill spiral notebooks full of stories. As I got older, I took the jobs needed for raising my boys as a single mom, until I met my now amazing husband. I have stopped working in the last three years and started promoting authors, then I blogged and reviewed for authors, which lead me down the path to writing and creating characters and stories. I love creating behind the scenes with my writing getting to use my imagination and write the story as it comes to me. My youngest is now a senior in High School leaving me with some spare time on my hands to be filled. I am loving the people I am meeting and the support system I have found.

Very good

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jaxson & Ralynn's story.
It was very close to home for me and i did have to stop and start a few times due to how emotional it was and how it effectively made me feel bringing up past ghosts for me. However Liberty and Darlene touched on the subject matter with respect and a thoughtful approach. Once again the characters were relatable, the story line kept you engrossed and the light hearted moments between the men of the Rebel Guardians MC had me in stitches. I'm really looking forward to reading about Luca & Gypsy now . She has a story to tell and no doubt Luca will do what ever he can to help her get it out.

Jacob & Ralynn: Rebel Guardians Next Generation

Awesome book!I loved the storyline. It goes to show you that abuse is not just one size it come in all shapes and sizes. It can effect anyone. Please get help!! Love that her family never have up on her. Can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Only think I wish there was some kind of marking on the cover of the books so you can figure out the order in which the books go as it's confusing as it is right now.

I've followed the Rebel Guardians MC from the very first book. I loved all of the original RGMC stories, loved meeting all of the kids. I was there when Ralynn and Jaxon met, even though she was way to young, and she fell head over heels for him. I was there when he only saw her as an annoying little kid that followed him around. Like with most series, I wondered about what happened next, wondered what happened to the kids. Now, we get the next part of their story, and boy, was it a doozy!

Ralynn has been in love with Jaxson forever! Since she was just a little girl, she has known that he was the one for her, and that never wavered for her. But since he was quite a bit older than her, he didn't feel the same way. Now that she's grown, he still doesn't. So she tries to move on with her life. But things don't go as she plans, and horrible things happen!

Jaxson has a tragic past, one that he hides, tells no one about. Even though he has a good life now, it still has an impact on how he lives his life. Even though he has feelings for Ralynn, he doesn't act on them because of that past. His determination to spare her that part of himself, has unforeseen consequences, things no one could have seen coming.

This book....I cried like a baby. Tears for Ralynn. Tears for Jaxson. There are some touchy subjects in this book, and it was a very emotional book. But beyond all of it, this book just emphasizes what the RGMC is all about. Family, loyalty, and love. It was another amazing book in the RGMC world. And even though all of the books, all of the characters are closely tied together, this book can be read without having read the previous books (but really, why would you want to?!? These books are all so fabulous!)

Jaxson and Ralynn

Wow, what an amazing storyline. For 12 years, this man has been around not only for the club, but the family members that he has acquired, and through it all he’s watched the love of his life, and the only woman that has had a crush since the moment that she met him and he walked into her life. But because he has some past issues and the age gap between the two and the fact that she was a child only six years old when she laid eyes on this man, and he has watched her grow into a young lady, he has kept her at arms length, but when tragedy hits, he’s the first one to go and mend her broken heart and put her back and make her a woman that will learn to trust and believe Not only in herself, but those around her that truly want only the best for her and are willing to give up everything to ensure that she is taken care of and is safely wrapped around the arms that have always had her back and protection. This is such an emotional Book. I do believe that if you know of somebody that’s going through the situation, I only pray that like in the story, you have not only a great support group in family, but also somebody that can show you what it really means to truly be loved and cared for. Can’t wait to see what this author writes next for this series.

Holy Hell the wait certainly was worth it! I love next generation series❤. Warning: have Kleenex on hand. Jaxson has been trying to push Ralynn away for years because he thinks his heart and soul aren't good enough for her because of his past(only Axe, the club prez knows). Ralynn is away at college and has gotten in over her head with an abusive SOB. This abuser Marcus made me wish I could reach in my kindle and take him out to end him!! He isolated her in her home so no one but his father(a "dirty" DA) would know. Thank God her bff Lilly shows up beating on her door.
Enter some of my favorite characters from the previous generation. Kinda like both getting and actually eating the cake for me! The loyalty of their brotherhood shines through the darkness like a bacon of light. They swoop in and take Ralynn home. The authors did an amazing job presenting the domestic abuse and what it took to get Rylynn on the road to recovery.
Rylynn is one hell of a woman with Jaxson at her side. I also think with Rylnn at his side Jaxson will also get some healing from his past. I would love to have me a Jaxson at my side😍. Now I'm left craving
the next book....Luca and Gypsy's story.
I highly recommend this series but suggest you start with the Rebel Guardians to get the full picture.

A heartbreaking story of true love

OMFG!!! Where does one begin with this review. The storyline is well written and the story flows so well. I have waited very (im)patiently for Rae and Jaxson's story.
Rae was away at school and was duped by a loser who feels the need to lay hands on a woman. How the family comes together to bring one of their own home is nothing less than amazing. Not gonna lie I wanted to reach through my kindle and beat that losers a$$!
I am so glad Jaxson finally realized what he could and does have with Rae. We finally get his story and it is so heartbreaking. The way he has overcome his past and moved on is as equally amazing. Their bond grows as Jaxson opens up about his past.
The fact they both feel like the are unlovable pulls at the heartstrings. Having what happened to Rae also him in the face he man's up and takes what has always been his. I feel like I'm all over with this review, but it's just because I'm trying to figure out what to put into words how much I truly enjoyed this book. Please give this book a shot you will not be disappointed.

I could not wait for this book to come out and when it did it did I not disappoint.
Jaxson and Ralynn have had their eyes in each other for years especially Ralynn
As a young girl she pointed out that Jaxson would be her husband. Jaxson being twelve years older taunted Ralynn knowing he wanted to be with her but in his mind he was not good enough because of his childhood.

When Ralynn starts dating and they don’t see her or hear from her everyone in the MC are worried. When Jaxson finds out what happened he is furious and they immediately get Ralynn out of this terrible situation. This is when he realizes that not only does he love her but he needs and wants to be with her, but now Ralynn is damaged goods. This story speaks out to abused women.

Ralynn May have lost herself for a moment, but she eventually finds her independence backs and becomes a stronger woman then what she once was
I loved this story and the characters really grew up. Anyone going through domestic abuse probably can relate to this story. Best of all I loved Jaxson and Ralynn’s happily ever after.

Xoxo,

Jaxson and Ralynn

It was sad with what Jaxson suffered at a young age from his fathers abuse, not only toward him but his mom as well and with the last beating he received was also watching his mom beat to the death. It made his life hard and learning to trust and also trying to keep Ralynn at arms length because he didn't think he deserved her love. Ralynn in turn decided to make him jealous by bringing Marcus to Maysens wedding, but sadly he wound up drugging her and took advantage of her sexually and then decided that he would physically abuse her by his dad claiming that they would destroy her dad Hatchs MC club, so she was scared to communicate with any family member because Marcus was keeping a close eye on everything she did, until finally her cousin Lily paid a surprise visit and were able to get her to safety. The couples went to Axe and Cara's cabin to heal and for safety and she went through some therapy and finally Jaxson explained why he kept pushing her away and then some healing and love for each other began. Happy reading.

This book has triggers for those who survivived abuse, as a survivor of abuse I felt the warning shpuld be first in my review. This book was well written and I wish I could give more then 5 stars

When she loses who she is due to her abuser and his father through their threats to her family Ralynn is ready to give up, yet that small part of eho she once was stops her.

Jaxson feels he is no good for the girl he watched grow up into a beautiful woman. Yet his past has him fighting to stay away.

Yet when the truth about Ralynn's life becomes known the man she loves, her friends and family will stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Loved it

My favorite of the series ! If you read the first gen books then you know Ralynn has been in love with Jackson since she was 6 years old . Jackson was 12 years older and knew she deserved better than him . When Ralynn starts dating Marcus to get back at Jackson things get bad . Ralynn is beat so severely . Jackson has decided no more staying away from her . He will have her no matter what her father and his brothers say . He will protect her and and keep her happy but will she forgive him for the methods he used to keep her at arms length I really loved this book and can’t get enough of the group .

I loved this story and was pulled into it from the first word to the last word written.
There are twists, turns and surprises awaiting you throughout the pages of this book. Some surprises you may see coming others you won't but they all aide in making the story fantastic.
The emotions that the characters felt throughout the book I felt along with them, I did find myself giggling a time or two.
Liberty Parker and Darlene Tallman n have done it again, another awesome book to add to there list.

Great love story

I absolutely loved Jason and Ralynn when they first were introduced in Braxton and Cara's story. I loved that this dealt with lots of issues that people face: domestic violence, feeling unworthy, and child abuse. This is a beautiful story. Ralynn has loved Jaxon since she was six and always knew he was her one. Jaxon is a great guy that has to deal with his childhood abuse and coming to terms how he feels about Ralynn. Its such a beautiful story and I am so glad the authors have written about all of the RGMC kids.

What an emotional ride this book took us on, been reading this series and this one really hit me hard for domestic abuse is so hard to get away from and no one can understand why someone will stay with someone who abuses them, in this case she had the MC in her life and her best friend Lily help her get out. Of course her love of her life since childhood Jaxson to help her become her old self again. loved their love story. Can't wait to read her next book about Luca in this series.

Beautiful

I'm just blown away by this story. I love Ralynn and Jaxson. The struggles that Rae found herself going through were not easy to overcome, but with her family and extended family there was no doubt that she'd overcome them. Add in the man who has known her almost her whole life and also coincidentally is the same man she promised she would marry one day and there's nothing to stop her.

Homerun!!!

And you ladies have nailed it again, or hit it out of the ballpark. I have to say, no matter how much I read, you take the story and give itva twist to crank it up and keep it going. Great job ladies. Luca looks like next, cant wait to see the little overprotective kid turn into an alpha MC

Jaxson & raelynn,rae was 6 yrs old when she first met jaxson who was 18 and announced she would marry him.
Years of pushing her away due to his own demons,rae moves on,*trigger warning* meets a guy and ends up in an abusive relationship,knowing her well,her family & friends go to her and get her away.
Hiding away while the mc deal with the ex can jaxson & rae forgive each other and move on toget?

Rae & Jaxson

Love it. This story tackles a hard topic of domestic abuse but it is handled perfectly. The reality of it is addressed but what is at the heart of it is healing and support. I loved how it was handled and how it allowed Jaxson to share his history and what makes him who he is.

I had a hard time with this one. What they both went through was terrible. I understand that the H would feel less than enough but what he did to the h isn't so forgivable to me. I liked them together but in the back of my mind was what he did and said to her in the past and it tainted my look of their present.

Jaxson & Rae

OMG I feel for Rae! She really is so strong and she has an amazing family at her back that definitely did not let her down! They swooped in and took over and did what needed to be done. And then Jaxson and Rae were able to work their way to the future that they’ve always deserved. This one made my heart happy with their happily ever after! I love this MC family!

I found this to be a very well written story. The book had highs and lows as it dealt with domestic abuse, and can triggers those that have been through this before. I do believe the topic was handled well in the storyline. I really enjoyed Raylnn and Jaxsons story.
