This book is a Hell's Handlers MC (#8) series / No Prisoners MC (#6) series -- crossover story.
One biker in denial.
One woman with secrets.
One enforcer with something to prove.
Three parts of one uncertain future . . .
Jazmine lives with secrets she buries beneath conservative clothing and avoidance of relationships. Those secrets are just one reason she spends months resisting the advances of the Hell’s Handlers’ resident flirt, Screwball.
Mostly, she can’t stand Screw’s constant parade of one-night stands and inability to be serious. But the man is charming, and her resolve is only so strong.
When Gumby, a romantic interest from Jazz’s past, returns to her life, she suddenly finds herself stuck between two men who hate each other on sight yet seem inexplicably drawn together.
As the new enforcer for the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle Club, Screwball faces a challenge he’s avoided his entire life: the heavy weight of leadership. Now he’s in charge of protecting his club as threats from an enemy MC mount. Even though he doubts himself, Screw wants the opportunity to prove his worth to his brothers. Meanwhile, he also finds himself attracted to Jazz in a way he’s never experienced. When Jazz’s eye-catching biker from Arizona shows up in town, Screw finds himself wondering if a future full of commitment might be worth leaving his comfort zone.
Having grown up with a brutal father who spoke with his fists, Gumby learned early to suppress certain sides of himself. When he crosses the country in search of a woman he can’t shake from his head, he not only finds her in danger but the object of one very appealing enforcer’s desire. He soon discovers denying his true identity can be impossible when faced with real temptation.
Can three wounded souls overcome their baggage in time to save the Hell’s Handlers MC and their relationship?

Can I give this ten stars? 25 stars maybe? Because it sure as shit deserves it after the emotional roller coaster I just was on. This series is everything, and everyone who knows me or follows my reading journey knows that Lilly Atlas and her bikers are my jam. I adore these worlds and both the No Prisoners and the Hells Handlers are my babies. So I was so hype for this book.
We meet Gumby in the very first NP book and instantly I was into him. I wanted his book so so bad. The little sliver we got of him in Hook and the other books wasn’t nearly enough. So knowing that we get here here set me up for some very lofty expectations and every single one of them was met. You guys know high expectations can kill a book but here every single one of them was met and then shot well past.
I won’t go into plot details because I’m always afraid of spoilers. But what I will say is Lilly Atlas writes some hot ass books and this one is the hottest yet! Seriously her fire meeter was for sure blown apart by how sexy this damn book is. And it carries on and expanded a larger SL that is carried through multiple books in the series. So so good.
Beyond that we have three broken people who are coping in unhealthy ways but the only ways they know how and instantly we feel for all three of them. Seeing the Flashbacks for Gumby and Screw we’re so emotional and you wanted to become an avenger after seeing young Jazzy and just knowing what would come for them. All three of them together and as individual pairs had so much flipping chemistry it was magic to see them find something together they never anticipated. And seeing the MC be as bad ass and awesome as usual? Amazing as per always.
This book made me laugh out loud multiple times and it got me teary a time or two as well. Seriously I wanna rate it 100 stars and pretty sure it’s now my favorite of the whole damn series. And that’s saying something.

Screw was the eighth book in Lilly Atlas’ Hell’s Handlers MC series. It was a cross over with her No Prisoners MC series.
We had heard from Screw and Jazmine in previous books. Screw was the MC flirt and playboy. Their paths crossed often and Screw continued to be persistent but Jazz kept turning Screw down. She had no interest in being one of many. Gumby, however, was new. He was a member of the No Prisoners MC and had history with Jazmine. He lost track of her but eventually found her and the saga began.
Atlas told the story from all three perspectives and they included snapshots from the past. I enjoyed all three characters. I struggled some with Screw, but it was because I wished he wouldn’t hide behind his sexual humor. In real life, I would have written him off as Jazz did, but with insight, it was obvious it was a cover up and it saddened me.
In the end, I loved this story. It had depth, dimension, complexity, practicality, suspense, action and emotion. And wow, the sex was hot. I don’t want to give anything away, it’s best to let the story unravel for itself, but I felt each character and each event. Kudos to Atlas, it was well done and I can’t wait to see who’s next.

Every time I finish a book by Ms. Lilly I say this is my favorite. No this one I swear my phone would melt it had so much heat in it. Not often do I wish I was the character in a book. But this one man I wanna be in Jazz’s predicament. These two guys made me swoon and laugh. Then towards the end I had my heart broken and cried my eyes out. If you’ve kept up with this series DO NOT miss out on this one. It’s a firecracker and then some! The struggles all three had to overcome will break your heart at times. I know it did mine. If you love a MC book check out this series. So much love for this MC family. I want to be a part of this girl gang so much. ARC provided by the author. Thank you so much Lilly for letting me read this book. Can’t wait to see what’s to come in the future for this bunch!

‘I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I’ll love you tomorrow whether you’re here with me or waiting on me among the stars.’”
I honestly think this is the first time Lilly Atlas has made me cry. And I really hope it’s the last time she makes me cry.
This book is hands down the BEST book I have read from this author.
We start with Jazmine who has left her home in Arizona where she was close to the No Prisoners MC. She needed a fresh start and was running from her own personal nightmare. She thought she would be forgotten after she was gone for so long but little did she know that one person was out to find her and make her his.
Gumby is a member of the No Prisoners MC and is on a mission to find the woman that was meant for him. Jazmine disappeared into thin air and something about that doesn’t feel right to Gumby. Even though they never even had a date he know Jaz more than any other woman. Little does he know that once he finds Jazmine he will find so much more waiting for him.
Now let’s get to Screw. The title of this book and member of the Hell’s Handlers MC. He’s a shameless flirt who can never be serious. He has wanted Jazzy since the moment he laid eyes on her. His seemingly promiscuous ways has driven Jazzy to stay 10 feet away at all times. No one really knows Screw; only the mask that he wears so easily. Jazzy and Gumby make him break all the rules he has set into place. It’s an uncomfortable place for him but he’s willing to ride this out for as long as he can.
Gumby, Jazzy and Screw combust together. It’s clear their chemistry will be life changing. They just have to all be willing to make it known to the world how they feel and that is easier said than done.
Old and new threats surface; a sacrifice will be made in order to keep one of them alive. Your heart will break at that moment and it will forever change the dynamic of the Hell’s Handlers MC.
Bravo to Lilly for this stunning book!

I loved this one. It was amazing. I love Screw and Gumby so much and Jazz is just fucking kick ass and so brave. I lost me heart at the end of this one. I can't wait to read the next book.

What and awesome story this was as it was so emotional that it brought me to tears.The love triangle was awesome we loved the characters all of them broken in some way yet, perfect for their poly-relationship giving the men the best of both worlds and Jazz she got something that she was needing from both of them that lend-ed to her healing.
I always loved Jazz she was already and interesting character but, once reading her story my heart just broke for everything she endured and not knowing how she survived it all emotionally. Props to Jazz for being so strong as she was always strong and beautiful and we loved that the men in her life saw that and no matter the horror that scars left on the inside as well as out.
Screw was one messed up dude emotional scarred and scared and once threatened emotionally in anyway he struck out against those in the only way he new to defend himself.We loved the broken man to pieces as we saw through all his bs but, with Jazz in his life as well as Gumby he too was healing as both had something to give him that no just one person could provide what he needed physically as well as emotionally.What we loved most about Screw was how open he was with his own sexuality and his f***-off attitude he had for others who didn't approve but, we loved that his brothers couldn't care less and even teased him about his conquests but, for Jazz things were working to her advantage as she had feelings for to men and was unable to choose between them.
Gumby was a love-able character just like the rest of them but, between the three he was the most emotionally scarred and his hangups could be his undoing you understand why this man feels the way he does considering his upbringing but, unless he deals with his personal demons he might lose the loves of his life.My heart went out to this man time and time again but, I wanted to smack him more often than not to wake up and see whats right it front of you before its to late.
Overall we loved it and we would could go on and on for sometime telling you about all the things we loved about this story it was just that amazing!Lilly never disappoints us and she makes it so easy for us to fall in love with her characters and even though we love the characters of this entire series and my heart broke and melted for Jigsaw and Izzy's story but, Screw & Jazzy & Gumby's story moved into the top number one spot for my favorite in this series .We loved that the No Prisoners MC and its character's graced the pages of this current tale as we love those guys as well and that Ms. Atlas created a bit of a dilemma with Gumby belonging to another MC but, lucky for us they are one cool club and love nothing more then seeing their brothers find the love and happiness they all deserve.
Final thoughts we be that this tri worked for all parties involved and if push came to shove and a decision to choose could have between made but, in the long run something would always be missing from ones life to make that one person truly happy and fulfilled in all ways possible.This author has done it yet again!What and amazing emotional tale with a whole lot of complications and more than a few twists and turns along the way.For us we think each and every time this author puts a pen to page her stories just get better and better and each and every time manages to bring me to tears.
This story and its character's will not be easily forgotten and we can tell you right now this one will be a constant re-read we have in our library.

I’ve kinda been on an #MCRomance kick here lately so when I saw this was a first in a series, I jumped to read it for the release tour. Also, 2020 seems to be my new to me author year so kill to birds with one stone and all that …. let me tell you’ll what happened after I finished this delicious morsel of MMF goodness …
I am now FIVE books into the madness that is Lilly Atlas
#sendhelp
I’m struggling a little here on how to do a review that isn’t wordy or full of plot points. Seriously, the development of this story was spot on. The story had layers. Screw and Jazz and Gumby were so multidimensional they had me glued to my kindle. Their connection and growth were so exciting to read. The storyline was exciting to read. Everything was frikking exciting! I AM FIVE BOOKS DEEP PEOPLE! I am really loving all things Lilly Atlas right now!!

Hopefully this is NOT the last book in the series because I love it!!! This book is not my normal type as it's bisexual and menage but it was really good. You need to read this series. Best read in order.
Screwball is exactly what his road name sounds. He likes to make a joke out of everything and breaks out in hives if anyone ever even talks about him in any form of a relationship. He loves to have sex with anyone as long as it's a hit it and get gone. Doesn't matter if you're male or female.
Jazz showed up in town around a year and a half ago and hasn't been with anyone. She is only around the club because she is friends with some of the ol' ladies. She only wears shirts with sleeves and shows no skin. Doesn't talk about where she came from. She is a mystery.
Gumby is from Arizona... his club is there but he has worried about a girl he was sort of sweet on who up and disappeared about a year and a half ago. Finally found where she is he goes looking to find out why she left the day after they was due to have their first date that he had to cancel due to club business. He too is bisexual but he is still in the closet.
There is still problems with the other club who is trying to move in and push out the club. There is danger that nobody knows that is around. There are people falling in love but fighting it. There is some really hot sex too. There is something for everyone... even tears.
I'm hoping for more of this series ASAP... enjoy

4.3 stars.
I really loved Gumby and Screw’s relationship.
It was so sweet. And they just bonded so well.
The sex was hot as hell.
The plot was dangerous and sad but so worth it.
That ending was absolutely devastating.
My one big complaint is that even though this triad felt like it was balanced in most ways, any time there was an emotional release on the guy’s parts it was always us between just them first, then we got hints that Jazz was filled in off page.
And that’s fine and all, but it left the overall impression that Jazzy was sort of a third wheel in the relationship aspects of everything.
I just would’ve liked at least one of their heart to hearts to have been to Jazzy instead of each other first. It sort of made it seem like Screw and Gumby were in a emotional relationship with each other, and just brought Jazzy in for sex, which I know isn’t true, because they hinted at there being more the we’re doing and saying off page. I just really would’ve liked some of that On page.

I’ve never read anything in this series before, but I love a MMF from time to time so I picked it up.
I liked the writing style of this one. And I liked the way the author built the characters. I liked Gumby and Screw together - sometimes I feel like in MMF that the woman just gets in the way, but I always like the extra dynamic that brings. It makes the MM moments even more special. Luckily those moments were heavy. I liked the build of Screw and Gumby’s relationship.
All I all, I really loved this. Liked the writing, the pace, the characters, the emotion. I usually skim MMF, but this really sucked me in.

NEW to me author and books! This, Okay it's been a while since I've read and enjoyed a MMF and this one was on the verge of being great, had little disclosures here and there but DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I ended up reading this book off charts because I finished one BDSM Dom/s relationship type and this was a recommendation and I was in the mood for a MMF. Both male characters here are equally alpha and bikers and the heroine, she was very sweet, tiny and willing. This made me realize how much I do enjoy the MMF relationship and will be reading more.

Wow oh wow!! I absolutely loved this book. I'm all in for some m/m/f storylines but when the guys are alpha hot and in love oh boy that just revs my engine. Lilly absolutely rocked this story so much that I think I'll re read it soon!!

I absolutely loved this book; Lily Atlas writes such amazing MC romances. What I love about her MC romances is that her bikers are alpha and take charge but never domineering or chauvinistic. Women aren’t treated like property and in fact, the women these bikers fall for are always strong, independent, and take no crap from their bikers. Screw was another great addition to her work—it was chockfull of emotion, a steamy and passionate MFM romance, a MC rivalry, and some danger and suspense.
I was eagerly awaiting the stories for all of three of these characters and the fact that their stories all came in one book was just the cherry on top of the sundae that was this book. I adored Screw, Gumby, and Jazmine; they were all complex and well developed characters who experienced realistic personal growth throughout the story. Each is hiding a part a themselves—Jazz hides the scars of her past beneath conservative clothing and an avoidance of relationships, Screw avoids any semblance of anything seriousness and treats life like a party, and thanks to an abusive father, Gumby has spent his entire life suppressing his bisexuality. Together, however, these three find something special and worth fighting to overcome the scars of their pasts.
And the steam—oh the steam! This book was on fire. Sexy and passionate—the chemistry between our characters was absolutely sizzling.
This was a fantastic MC romance that I highly recommend.

Trust Lilly Atlas to bring heart, heat and all the feels to a book that could have been risky. But that's exactly what she did, and Screw is an amazing read for exactly that reason.
This is a scorching hot read, let's get that right out at the beginning. But this is Lilly Atlas, you knew it was going to be steamy to start with. Let me say, that's not the main focus here.
Screw is a character driven story. Your heart is going to stutter at the histories of Screw, Jazz and Gumby. These three broken people have been existing, never truly fitting in their own skins until they come together here. And even then, it's not easy.
Atlas uses a gentle touch when exploring the pain they've lived. You'll understand why Screw is, well, Screw, as well as the tight boxes Jazz and Gumby have put themselves into.
It wouldn't be a MC read without some action from a rival club, and we've got all of that here. Not a stone was left unturned. And all of it is exciting and ties in perfectly to the story.
These are three beloved characters from both of Atlas's MC series, but here, not only do they shine, but they dazzle in this emotional, tearful and heart-filled book. Well done Ms. Atlas. Very well done.

Atlas uses a gentle touch when exploring the pain they've lived. You'll understand why Screw is, well, Screw, as well as the tight boxes Jazz and Gumby have put themselves into.
It wouldn't be a MC read without some action from a rival club, and we've got all of that here. Not a stone was left unturned. And all of it is exciting and ties in perfectly to the story.
These are three beloved characters from both of Atlas's MC series, but here, not only do they shine, but they dazzle in this emotional, tearful and heart-filled book. Well done Ms. Atlas. Very well done.

Not as awesome as I hoped
2.5 stars
This was a good book, but not what I had hoped. There were some problems that annoyed me enough to detract from its otherwise awesome story.
The relationship between the main characters was pretty imbalanced. It seemed like the men had an emotional intimacy that was absent with Jazzy. The men spent time together and talked and kissed and developed their relationship. But with Jazz, nada. Only sex. It bothered me to the point I actually considered putting the book down. The only reason I didn’t was because the plot was compelling enough on its own so I was too curious to stop. I was also hoping the h would get some emotional intimacy...but nope. Just the dudes. It always seems that the guys connected first, together, then Jazz came as an after thought. Not cool at all.
Another thing, I think it’s kinda hot when a girl can have multiple guys. If things happen between the guys too, it’s still cool, it can even be hot. But I really don’t enjoy reading about gay relationships or gay sex. I didn’t really think that’s the kinda book I would be reading here.

Jazmine “Jazz” Barnes relocate to Townsend, Tennessee and was welcome into the family fold of the Hell’s Handlers MC. She works at the diner of one of the member’s old lady. Side by side, they have been building something. No one knows about her past or why she uprooted her life. She carefully avoids anything that may have her revealing things she would rather leave buried. Then someone form her past shows up.
This was my least favorite of the series so far. I had a major problem with how the triad unfolded. It seemed more like Screw and Gumby with a side of Jazz. The deep connection centered around the men not the three of them. Of course, I figured there would be one on one time but when it came to the big reveals it was without Jazz. She always found out everything after the fact. That never sat well with me.
Cliffhanger – no (book #8 in series)
POV - Jazz, Screw & Gumby

Dayum! This is one steamy read 🔥
Jazzy has left her family and No Prisoners friends in Arizona and moved to Tennessee where she is managing the diner for one of the old ladies of the Hells Handlers.
Gumby has not been able to forget Jazmine so has his club brother track her down. When he shows up on her doorstep he has no idea his life will change forever.
Screw is the club playboy. Free and easy is his motto. Men, women it doesn’t matter to him, fun is fun!
When the three meet sparks fly!! Gumby doesn’t want anyone to know he is a closet bisexual but he can’t control his attraction and draw to Screw, and Jazzy.
A fantastic story about love, trust, forgiveness and acceptance.
My favorite Lilly Atlas book to date!

Sorry this one just didn’t do it for me..
I’m usually always quick to recommend Lilly’s books especially the Hells Handlers series (huge fan of Coppers) BUT this book didn’t do it for me. Not because it was MMF - I usually love Triads if done right but I found this one slow and confusing - the back stories were all over the place. Maybe it’s one of those books you need to read over a couple of times to get it but I can’t see myself reading it again.
Hated the Viper twist. Especially considering the last book hinted towards his and Mama V’s book being released. Sorry.

I knew I should not have read this. My fault. I have such a difficult time with MMF. This book is a prime example. So imbalanced. As usual you have this intimacy between the two male leads and the female lead is just an afterthought. One of the worst MMF's I've read so far. This should have just been an MM romance. Not MMF. I honestly did not want to finish and wanted to DNF, but being the masochist I am I made myself suffer 🤦😂. But I think this did it for me. Completely staying away from MMF now

There was something missing from this book. This is a MMF romance, and I felt there was more of a connection between the two male characters. I love a good MM read but if your going to add a female into a MMF romance I want all characters to connection on an emotional level. The two male characters did, but I didn’t feel Jazz connect with either male character at all. Disappointing as I had liked the previous books in the series.

Not for me
Well I usually like threesomes, but this was not for me. I am not really into reading guy on guy. I am up for kink and stuff, but not a fan. I have nothing against it, I just don’t like to read about it.
Oh well. It has been a great series.

I almost have no words for this book!!!
I loved this book so much that I really have no words to give it the very best review that it deserves. Get the book and thank me later.

Enjoyed the story at the start then dragged out. Started skimming pages. The ending was rubbish.

Okay... So in all reality I truly loved all three of these people, Screw (Luke), Gumby (Will) and Jazzy and was looking forward to this book nearly as much as I did when I first started this series and wanted Copper's story. BUT!! I will admit I had some issues with this book that prevented it from getting the 5 stars I so much wanted to give it.
Firstly... mmf and even mm or mmm books are one my guilty little pleasure's in life. But over all of the one's that I read through the years, I've found that there tends to be one big issues when it comes to 3 way relationships (or more). That being making it feel like one of the 3 isn't as connected or truly needed in the story... And that tends to happen when the guys are into each other and fucking as well and it not just about the girl they share (and they don't fuck each other). Unfortunate, to me at least, Screw fell into this trap. Throughout most of the book, it truly felt more like a relationship between Screw and Gumby and Jazz was just kind of through in to make it a ménage book because how else would Gumby and Screw have met. And there were a couple of things that made me feel this way... Screw gave his given name to Gumby without Jazz there and she didn't even know until Gumby called him by that name and then it was like... Oh yea Jazz that's what you call me during intimate moments like she was just supposed to know this... but even then throughout the book while Gumby and Screw called each other by either endearments or their given name during intimate times, Jazz still kept calling them by their handle names and it just kept making me feel like she wasn't truly needed for the guys romance. Then there was the fact that when Screw revealed his past traumas (and the same for when Gumby revealed his), it was just the two of the present and Jazz didn't find out till later. When Jazz revealed what happened to her, both guys where there and it should have been the same for with the guys not Jazz learning later. Also, during the slow moments when all three were together and getting to know what makes them all tick, them moments were just glossed over and not really shown just hinted out, so personally it was hard for me to truly see the connection build up between all three.
It truly felt like there were more intimate loving, bonding moments only between Gumby and Screw and the moments that were all three was just the fucking moments. It's sad to say that I actually kind of like Gumby and Screw... just as the 2 of them. I don't have any issues with Jazz and like her character but this book (the way it was written) made me feel like she wasn't really needed for their romance to truly bloom between the 2 guys.
Also, another big issue I have is that after the "I love's you's" were finally said, we didn't get much of anything of the three of them together and showing their love. The end was rushed like it just needed to end. Also... while I know that the men and woman of the Hell Handler's wouldn't have cared, I would have liked to have gotten an insight into Jazz telling the girls and the guys reactions when Gumby finally manned up and showed his love for Screw right in front of them. I like reaction scenes in books and not them just being glossed over because they are a part of the experience. Also, this is Gumby's story as well, while I doubt he will have any issues patching in with the Hell's Handler's I would have like to have gotten that event in this book as well. While I'm sure it will be stated or shown in Thunder's book, there really no reason we couldn't of gotten that in his own book.
And the last part that I just felt was lacking and was truly looking forward too... Was Gumby getting nailed by Screw... lmfao... That would have been sexy as hell getting to read about Gumby's first time letting his guards down and being taken by a man and not being the "pitcher" if you would have it.
Overall, I love this series... I just feel like there's more of a deep connection between Gumby and Screw then with all three of them. Which unfortunately happens in these kinds of books. However, it is still well worth the read.

Get That Fan Going!!
You’re going to need that fan when reading this hot MC book!! What can I say, I loved this book and this author always knows to bring it to those of us who like their bikers hot, hard and ready to take on anyone and anything. This is all about Gumby who is/was a member of the No Prisoners MC, Screw is the newly elected Enforcer for the Hell Hounds MC and Jazz who is the girl who left Gumby and Arizona behind. All it took was Gumby having to cancel their first date to have Jazz’s life thrown into an unbelievable turmoil. You’ll have to read the book to see what happened to send this woman on the run.
I don’t want to give much away but just know that the connection between these three from when they first met until the very end would burn up the pages of any book! There was so much more to this book as well; from truths coming out, enemy MC’s on the attack and truly heartbreaking moments. This is so worth your time and I highly recommend it to any MC reader who is looking for one of “those” books!!

The feels.
Ladies your going to need some tissues for this one trust me I know it for a fact .
( Sitting here typing away snot coming out of my nose tears the size of rain drops running down my cheeks) . Screw was an awesome book gave me all the feels and I love each and every character in this series except for the bad guys of course 😉.
I loved Screw, Gumby and jazz storyline it was difficult to read certain parts especially when it came to how their childhoods and what they had to endure it was heartbreaking . But the love they found together Only made me love their character's more and more. I look forward to reading more about them in future books they are as different as chalk and cheese yet somehow they mesh well together bringing to life their story on every page. I loved it.

I normally love the Hell’s Handler’s MC books. Not sure what happened here. There was more kissing and hugging and handholding (and hand kissing 🤷♀️) between the two bikers than I have seen in any three MF books I have read in the past. Almost every contact between Screw and Gumby led to sex. I sometimes felt like Jazz was just extraneous to the whole relationship. I think the author felt a need to provide an example of every sexual combination possible between all three protagonists; so much so, that she forgot to write a story.
And what was the point of Viper’s demise? Poor Cassie. SMH

This was the book that first attracted me to read the HH’s series. I’d asked for MMF MC Romance recommendations, as they are often a rarity in the genre. I’d really been looking forward to Screw’s story. It was OK, some uncomfortable parts (re: Jazz’s body dysmorphia) and I just didn’t feel the strength of the triad, as I had with other relationships in the series. Gumby as a roadname kinda rankled too. A little disappointed but that won’t sway me from reading the rest of the series.
