There’s a fine line between love and hate.

Blade came into my life like a wrecking ball. Tearing down my walls and rocking my world. Then I found out he was a member of Outlaw Souls. That was a problem, since my loyalty was to their enemy, Las Balas. My connection to them was one of blood, through my father and brother. I couldn’t turn my back on that, no matter how much I wanted Blade.

Meanwhile, there was a new kind of trouble brewing in La Playa. Both of the rival clubs got caught up in the mess, which left me choosing sides. Sleeping with the enemy was addicting, but what about my family? It was time to make a real choice. Because things were heating up between Las Balas and Outlaw Souls, and it was dangerous to get caught in the crossfire.

Blade and I were meant to be enemies. Could we find a way to get past that and become so much more?

This is the fourth instalment in the Outlaw Souls MC series and each book is more thrilling than the last, I can promise you if you give this series a go you will never be bored.

Kat is a tattoo artist who is working at Ink Envy when she meets Blade, it’s definitely a case of lust at first sight but there is something more between them but there is a problem her father is a member of a rival biker club The Las Balas MC and her brother is a prospect so when she and Blade can’t deny their attraction to each other but when Blade tries to show Kat what is going on within the two rival clubs she is loath to believe it, she has always been made to believe that the Outlaw Souls are the ones that are not to be trusted. Who can she believe her father or the man she loves, will she be forced to choose?

Blade is a prospect with the Outlaw Souls MC and has a reputation for being a fearless streetfighter so when he is offered a job at Ink Envy his attraction to Kat is instant but the problem of who her father and brother are could stop them from being together especially after what he has learned. Can he convince Kat of the truth and who will she choose when things go from bad to worse and her brother is shot, love or family?

Honestly each book is a wild journey and I cannot recommend this series more, it’s not always safe but engaging characters and exciting storylines will have you gripped from page one. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book. 5* Read.

Sleeping with the enemy, has never felt so.. IRRESISTABLE.
I was whisked in the story line, completed it in 5hrs.
eBook copy received for a honest review.

Kat is a smart+talented Tattoo artist whose Father's a Las Balas member & Her bro-Jason(A good guy!) a LB prospect, she didn't knew LB's reality, so gave them her loyalty.
Blade is a Outlaw souls prospect, multi-talented, with a knack for street fighting. Both have strained relation with their fathers, for entirely opposite reasons.

They 1st met in 'Ink Envy' where Blade got the job as the newest Tattoo artist. Their attraction sizzling! Both didn't know much about eachother. He soon asked her on a date, Pizza(yum) & Laser tag, ending with Hot🔥 times.

Along this, Blade was given a job to find Dirt on Luca(Murder suspect) through his connection in street fighting. He's really good at UC! We find about the Mob weaponry stash. As he'd find this info, he proved himself, they welcome Blade as a Outlaw. I'm so happy for him!

Blade & Kat had potential for more, both felt it. But His outlaw patch was a dead-giveaway, as next day she found it on his jacket, treated him as enemy. *smirk* But even this new Development didn't stop their attraction.Their banters felt like foreplay, soon passion exploded. Everything in mind, They stuck a deal to keep things casual. With spending time, sharing pain and dark pasts, I'm sure this casual think wouldn't've last longer😅

There on MC font, Las Balas called trouble (of course..) Outlaw's Found the Weapon stash, would've destroyed it..But LB Attacked. Stole. Shot Ryder (omfg, I was so worried.. Gladly He's OK *phew*) War's ON.
I'm happy they took Revenge for Ryder. All the better that, even during the fight, Blade helped Jason when he was shot. Blade knew losing Him, so soon after Her mom's death, will kill Kat.

Kat was blissfully unaware of the fight, but when she got the whiff of it, she was terrified. For both Jason & Blade. I'm ecstatic that Jason chose to leave LB+ told Kat Everything about its Dirty deeds.

She now knew Blade was telling truth, Outlaw's were the good guys (as far as MCs went), from all these days she knew Blade was good. She hoped that Due to her foolishness, she hadn't lost the best thing in her life. It's Talk time with Blade! What do you think happened there? *Wink* Acceptance, Hope, Feelings confessed AND sex❤

Btw, where was the weapon stash anyway? ;-)

Loved the epilogue! Seeing Kat & Blade spend time as a family is endearing! It's lovely how a perfect fit these two are!

P.s. So excited for Diego's book! I wanna know if more heat will happen b/w the rival MCs.

This is the fourth book in the Outlaw Souls MC series, and while I didn't like it as much as I did the third book, Trainer, it is still a very solid addition to the series. (Full disclosure: Trainer and Erica are my favorite Outlaw Souls couple and they are going to be hard to beat!)

This book follows Blade, a prospect of Outlaw Souls. He meets Kat. I liked Kat a lot. She isn't your typical romance book heroine, which I'm finding is actually typical in this series. I'm so sick of the virginal waif type heroines, and Ms. Stone has given us some strong, fierce, sex positive heroines. Kat actually believes in hook ups and casual sex! She doesn't feel ashamed by it! Seriously, sex positivity for the win! Thank you, Ms. Stone!

The books in this series are progressing very nicely into the MC aspect of the series. While they can be read as stand alone, you will get more of the story if you read them in order. (Although, if you find yourself wanting to check one out, don't worry, you won't be lost). I like the way the story has been unfolding. Our resident club, the Outlaw Souls, have developed a rivalry with Las Balas, another MC.

Blade has been paying his dues, waiting to get patched in to become a member of the Outlaw Souls. The problem begins, when Kat sees the logo on his now patched jacket, she freaks out. Kat has been raised to believe that the Outlaw Souls are nothing more than gang bangers and that they target Las Balas for no reason. Her ties to Las Balas make her biased against Outlaw Souls, without knowing the full story. Kat's has family ties to Las Balas, and since she's already lost her mom, she is trying to hold on to the family that she has left.

Basically, we have a Romeo and Juliet story, but with no poison and less stupid teenagers.

There really isn't much to dislike in this book. My only criticism is that I wish the previous books introduced us more to the characters that are going to be in future books. While I understand not always knowing the heroine, (although I always give bonus points to those books where we know both characters prior to their stand alone) I would have liked to have seen Blade more in previous books. I'm already looking forward to Hawk's book, simply because I feel like he's someone we have seen more often than the others. And I'm definitely hoping for a romance between Moves and Kim.

I was provided with an ARC of this book and am voluntarily providing a review. All opinions are my own.

Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, kicking this bad boy into a raging tempest, blasting it into a tailspin with a mind-blowing culmination. Vexing mishaps and unsettling circumstances swirl with the formidable trials and taxing tribulations, spinning alongside the deadly twists and wicked turns, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never imagined. The characters are complex and authentic with qualities and traits that add depth transforming into relatable personalities.

Two clubs and two hearts...who will survive in the end?

Blade is the fourth book in the Outlaw Souls series and is the story of Blade and Kate.
Blade is a prospect with the Outlaw Souls MC and has been hired to work at Ink Envy.
Kat is a talented tattoo artist who works at Ink Envy. Her father is a member of Las Balas MC and her brother is a prospect with them also.
Blade and Kat have an amazing connection of their souls and it is love at first sight. But as they are each connected with rival MC's there is more than a slight issue. Blade is also a street fighter, underground, and it is this that which Ryder uses to get him to do some poking around. It seems the Las Balas have been up to no good again. But Kat does not believe what Blade has been trying to tell her about the two MC's as her father has made it so she believes Las Balas is good and Outlaw Souls is bad. But when her brother is shot and Blade saves him she starts to see things differently, especially when he really tells her about some of the history. Once Kat makes that turn down a different road from her father and Las Balas will she and Blade be able to have their own HEA?

I am really liking the series Outlaw Souls Books. The one I just finished reading is Blade and it is Book 4 by Hope Stone. This book is about Kat and Blade. Kat is a tattoo artist and her brother is a prospect for Las Balas and her dad is a member. Blade is a prospect for Outlaw Souls and does street fighting. He needs a job and is offered one at Ink Envy, the same one Kat works at. They are completely smitten with each other. They have a very steamy and passionate relationship. Blade gets involved with some investigative work at the street fighting ring he is involved in. There were parts in the story that got really intense and I wasn't sure how it was going to end. I was really rooting for Kat and Blade to stay together, despite the history of the 2 motorcycle clubs. It was a great book and am looking forward to see how the next one is. I like with each book, there is a little update on previous characters. I highly recommend reading this book and the series. It is great!!

I can not tell you how much I enjoy reading about this Motorcycle Club.
All the guys and gals are in it for the Brotherhood and nothing else.
Blade runs into Kat at his new job at the tattoo shop. Instant attraction.
Only problem, he belongs with Outlaw Souls and Kats dad and brother belong to Las Balas which are rival gangs.
Kat has had so much told to her by her dad about how awful and sinister the Outlaw Souls are that she can not understand what Blade is trying to tell her.
She eventually learns the truth after her brother Jason is shot and Blade saves him and he tells her what Las Balas has done in the past.
Finally her eyes are open and she sees the truth.
Hope Stone has written another great book and can not wait until the next one comes out.

Kat is a tattoo artist and she meets Blade through her job. Blade is a prospect in the Outlaw Souls MC which is a rival MC to Kat's father's MC. Sparks fly between her and Blade but everything she has been told is that she can trust anyone from that MC. She doesn't want to listen to anything Blade has to say about her father's MC. However when her brother ends up shot and Blade steps in and helps him she knows that she must listen to him now. Kat is stunned to learn what her father's MC has been up to. Can they be together with her father in a rival MC? Will he cause problems for them?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I think that the author, Hope Stone, did an excellent job with Blade. The story is all about how Blade and Kat are affiliated with two different MCs and how they overcame those difference. Both Blade and Kat had difficulties that they had to overcome themselves as well as with each other. I really enjoyed their love story. They had some steamY and hot scenes. It is easy to like and to want to cheer them on hoping that they can find their HEA. This was a very enjoyable MC book. Loved Blade and Kay’s love story. I think this might be a favorite but I can’t wait for Diego and will reserve that designation till the last book. ❤️❤️

This is the latest offering in the world of the Outlaw Souls MC and not only do we have the world of the MC but also the underground street fighting

Blade is a prospect for the Outlaw Souls he is also a street fighter in the underground circuit but he also needs a job this he gets at Ink Envy a tattoo parlour There he meets Kat and the attraction between hem is instant and off the charts The only problem is that her father is the president of the Las Balas and her brother is a prospect like Blade. With the two MC been sworn enemies it doesn't look like there will be a HEA for Kat and Blade until things blow up and she has to make a choice between blood/family and love what will that choice be You will have to read to see

Blade is on his own trying to get into the outlaw souls. When he meets Kat at his new job. They click right away even though they don’t know each other very well. Kat is a sister to Jason and lives in the house her mom use to own. It’s now Kat. Mom has been gone for a little over 6 months and the house still looks like she lives there. Kat meets Blade at the tattoo shop they work at. He is trying to go into the outlaw souls bike club. Kat’s dad is part of the Las bike club that her brother is trying to get into. Since she’s trying to be loyal to her dad’s club but doesn’t truly know what they are all about things get heated with her and Blade. Will they ever agree on things to be happy together or go their separate ways and be sad? You need to read this book. Great read!!!

Kat and Blade - she’s a tattoo artist whose dad and brother are affiliated with Las Balas MC; he’s a tattoo artist artist, street fighter, and part of the Outlaw Souls MC. When he starts working at the shop where Kat works, there’s immediate attraction between the two of them. Since their MC affiliations make them “enemies,” they decide on a casual sex only association. When the two MCs get into a physical fight using guns and knives, Blade rescues Kat’s brother who was shot in the shoulder because he’s important to Kat and Blade doesn’t want Kat to lose her brother. In the end, Kat realizes that Blade’s truly a good guy and her brother resigns as a prospect for Las Balas. And Blade moves in with Kat for the start of their HEA.

This series is so good. I really enjoy reading it and don't want it to end. All good things must come to an end.

In the mean time he gets a job as a tattoo artist where he meets Kat. As soon as he meets her, he has feelings that he wants to get to know her. Things move fast with their friendship, everything to go along with it. The MC has a lot going on that they needed Blades help which got him to get patched into the MC His relationship has moved forward with Kat.

Blade's story is a bit of forbidden romance along with the MC factor. He is a prospect for the Outlaw Souls and meets Kat when he starts working at a tattoo shop. Kat is the daughter of a rival MC, Las Balas, and sister of a prospect as well. The attraction is instantaneous though neither knows about the MC connections. Their story is full of tension about the rivalry, drama, action, some humor, and loads of steam. Blade is a great guy with a good sense of humor, smoking hot. Kat is beautiful, stubborn, sassy, and the perfect match for Blade.

In this story, the MC romance is between Blade and Kat. Blade, a prospect for Outlaw Souls, is in need of a job, although, he does street fighting. Kat works as a tattoo artist. Blade gets hired at Ink Eny, the same workplace as Kat. They have an incredible connection. However, all good things must come to an end. Kat’s brother is a prospect for Las Balas, and her father Is a member. These are two motorcycle clubs that dont have the best history. I really liked this book, and if you want to find out more, I suggest you read it!

This is book four in the Outlaw Souls. MC series. Blade has found a woman who has captured his attention but she is.untouchable. Kat's father and brother are members of Las Balas, they are a rival club to the Outlaw Souls. Kat's got an impossible choice to make and her attraction and feelings for Blade definitely complicate things. This will be on fairy tale ending or an all out war? A great story that just adds to the excitement of the series. A typical MC story with the challenges of the club and the characters all wrapped up around a HEA. Enjoy!

My Review: This was a quick read about two young tattoo artists, Blade and Kat, who are both connected to MC's in different ways. I didn't really find this book engaging or very romantic. The main H/h were not together very often and when they were it was brief and not very interesting. Unfortunately this wasn't the book for me.

Another great addition to this truly great MC series by Hope Stone! This is Blade and Kats story. A Romeo and Juliet/ Enemies to lovers romance. Kat who has family ties with the Las Balas MC falls for Blade, an Outlaws Soul MC prospect. Will sleeping with the enemy lead to more heart ache as these two warring tribes face off. Well written great characters old and new. its always a rush read Hope Stones books and this ones no excetion!

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters are unique. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more with feelings, desires, passion and lust, erotic sweetness, sensational pleasures and heat from arousal.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

This is book 4 in the Outlaw .Souls series. It did not disappoint. Kat and Blade are put together because he needs a job and it just so happens that Kat has an opening within the Tattoo shop she works at. The chemistry is explosive and the action takes you and puts you right in the middle of it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will be begging for more. I am intrigued who will be next to take the plunge within this MC. Waiting for more from Miss Stone.

I loved Kat, a strong female character who knows her own mind.
I loved Blade, an Alpha male but still having feelings and questions instead of just a cave man.
I wasn't as sure about Kat's father, it doesn't seem realistic for a father to be that unfeeling when his daughter is threatened.
All-in-all the book was well written, with good pacing and a plot that included romance, action and suspense. Perfect for a summer read.

This is the 4th book in Hope Stone's newest MC series. I enjoyed reading this and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series. Blade is a prospect in the Outlaw Souls and starts working at Ink Envy. He meets Kat, a tattoo artist, and it's instant attraction. This story is fast moving with drama, action, and romantic suspense. Kat's father and brother are members of the Las Balas MC, a rival group. It's touch and go with these two and you wonder how they can possibly work on a relationship. I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When opposites attracts !!

Great biker story that keeps up on our toes; it has a bit of everything; chemistry, friendship , cute moments, some dramatic situations.
I thought that this book was a bit more intense that the others, and it's quite ok!
It was fun to have some updates from past characters.
Everything was well set up, easy to read; it left me with a question or 2, which I hope will be answered in the next installment ;)

I really enjoyed reading this MC romance.
The story sucked me in from the first page.
It was very well written. Loads of MC action and adventure.
Blade and Kat had loads of sexy chemistry.
This is the 4th book in the Outlaw Souls MC.
Even though each book is a stand alone its
better to read them in order.

Cool story centering around two tattoo artists. The angst comes as they align themselves with rival MC clubs. Kat is only affiliated with one through her estranged family while Blade is a prospect. Interesting how rumors fuel false assumptions about each group. Blade and Kat are kinda on again and off again. Appreciate Kay’s strength and independence that helps her figure out the truth for herself.

This is a fast paced wirlwind mc romance with a HEA. Great series. I recieved the book for free and am voluntarily leaving a review.
