Stella

The Ride or Die Bar isn't much, but it's the place I made my home.
And the Heartlands Motorcycle Club is my family.
It's just another night at work until my home gets broken into.
My family gets destroyed.
It's The Outlaws.
They hit us hard. They take everything.
But family bonds are strong and the Heartlands aren't about to let this attack by a rival MC club go unpunished.
That's when they call in the reinforcements...
When I first see Jaxon step off his chrome dragon, I know things will never be the same around here.
He's reckless. He's impulsive. He's unpredictable.
And he brings me to my knees.
All of a sudden, the club sister who has always refused to take a man is desperate for one.
But playing with a bold wild man like Jaxon is like playing with fire.
And I'm all too ready for the smoldering heat.
We want to create a new home together, but with The Outlaws on our backs, it just may all go up in flames.

The alpha males of Heartlands Motorcycle Club are the most possessive, devoted, and territorial men in the country when it comes to the ones they love.

Heartlands is a rough and rugged new series of standalone stories. Written by four of the most trusted names in short and steamy romance, each book will get your motors revved and your hearts racing. Guaranteed.

A safe biker story is hard to come by. So I was happy to see this pop up! I definitely could have done without the club girl having sex on the pool table! I’m all about steam but I want it to be with main couple.

-no cheating
-no ow/om drama
-no pushing away
-no violence of a sexual nature
-safe no others after meeting
-virgin heroine but there was no info at all about the hero’s past
-fantastic epilogue - she hit it out of the park with severs epilogues (one being 25 years later)

The Hader Brothers from California are here to rock Nevada!
Meet Beckham and Jaxon the famous brothers who made all grown up Heartlands members fangirling.
As with any Olivia books this one is OTT between Stella and Jaxon. You can feel the attraction and connection between them but what made me more curious is the older Hader brother Beckham I can't wait to see who will catch the Terminator's heart.

Jaxon comes rolling into town with his brother and niece ready to help out his brothers in the Heartland MC after they were attacked. What he didn’t realize is that he would find the women for him when he got there. One look at Stella and all plans changed. Stella is a tough, strong independent women that doesn’t take crap from anyone. When he sees that she was injured during the attack, he’s out for vengeance. No one puts a hand on what’s his without paying the price. True to all Olivia’s heroes, Jaxon is instantly obsessed with Stella and nothing and no one will stand in his way. 🥰

Now to patiently/not so patiently wait for Beckham!!

-safe read
-OTT
-no talk about H past
-h is a virgin
-no om/ow drama
-no sexual abuse past or present
-epilogues 2 months, 10 years and 25 years

“I love you more than any man has ever loved a woman. My heart beats for you."

This next installment of the Heartlands MC is about Jaxon. This is book 5 but can be read as a standalone. Good story with an OTT, possessive H. Virgin h, no talk about H's past, he doesn't seem to be a MW, no cheating, h gets hurt in a bar brawl. Epilogues at 2 months, 10 years & 25 years.

Jaxon (Heartlands MC Club #5) by Olivia T. Turner

HERO - Jaxon Hader. Member of the Heartlands Motorcycle Club. Long, blonde hair. Brown eyes. Light beard.

HEROINE - Stella. Waitress at the Heartlands Motorcycle Club. Long, black hair and green eyes.

OVERALL THOUGHTS - The strongest positive about this novella is the sexual tension between Jaxon and Stella. Jaxon was intense! Stella was a good character, but had issues with low self-esteem. Jaxon’s 10-year-old niece, Nixie, was a hoot! Hopefully we’ll see her again in her Uncle Beckham’s story.

The weakest point of this novella was the whole rival club thing. I found it hard to believe that No mind, though, since the romance was the part I was really reading this for.

A few nitpicks I have is that I would have loved to learn more about Stella’s past and the whole Bakersfield and Nevada thing kept throwing me off. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for the fact that I live in Bakersfield (where the rival club is located), but we’re certainly not “a couple towns over” from Nevada (where the Heartlands are located). I mean, we’re talking almost 4 hours to get to the nearest California/Nevada border from here.

Last thing, because we got to see Nixie as an adult in one of the epilogues

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the fifth book in the heartlands MC series. In this book, Stella works at the bar owned by the Heartlands MC and secretly wishes for a strong alpha man to be her own. Stella is a virgin and is protected by the MC. One night while at work, a rival MC showed up and started a fight with the Heartlands, Stella was the only woman at the bar and was threatened. The next day, Jaxon and Beckham show up. Jaxon and Beckham are brothers from another chapter of the Heartlands and are willing to help end the war against the rival MC. When Jaxon sees Stella, he is instantly attracted to her and determined to make her his. Stella is attracted to Jaxon as well, but she wonders what will happen after the war is over and he is going to leave. I really liked this book. Jaxon was exactly what Stella fantasized about when she thought about a strong alpha. I love how he was so protective of Stella and how he was so jealous, he wanted to keep her for himself. I also liked how Jaxon was patient and wanted to make sure Stella was sure. Good one.

Olivia T. Turner pens the fifth installment of the Heartlands MC series. She chronicles the romantic journey of Sella and Jaxon. Readers met her as a secondary character in previous books in this series. She, too, works for the Ride or Die as a bartender. Stella keeps a tightly guarded secret. She is a virgin. Jaxon is a member of the California chapter of the MC. He, his brother, Beckman, and their niece, Nixie, arrive. The Hader brothers (Jaxon and Beckman) come to assist with the ongoing war with the Outlaws. This romantic suspense is also a love at first sight tale. When Stella and Jaxon meet, they are drawn to each other. She stirs his protective and possessive streaks. Can Jaxon keep her safe? Will they find happiness? Will the Hader brothers’ assistance help the Heartlands to neutralize the threat of the Outlaws? You must read this book to find out.
Ms. Turner does a remarkable job with literary devices such as dialog, point of view and descriptive language. Her dialog is solid. Their internal dialog gives readers a glimpse into their true struggles. The dual point of view further endears readers to these two. The descriptive language makes the scenes vivid. I also enjoy the way Ms. Turner takes her readers into the biker world by moving away from the stereotypical views on the world of the MC. She includes gruff and tattooed men outfitted in leather. In this series, Ms. Turner, along with the other authors revealing bikers who are trying to legitimize their operations while still abiding by a strict code of brotherhood. Although these motorcycle-riding leading men are rough around the edges they possess an undeniable soft spot for the women who love them.

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Jaxon is book five in the heartlands motorcycle club series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When a rival MC causes trouble, the heartlands MC ask for help from another chapter. Stella wants Jaxon as soon as she meets him. From the moment Jaxon meets Stella, he wants her to be his woman.
The chemistry between Jaxon and Tella is clear to see and I liked them together.
I loved Nixie. I thought she was hilarious.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Jaxon is the story of well Jaxon and Stella.

Tropes:
Insta love
Obsessive overprotective possessive alpha hero
Hot feisty and sexy innocent heroine
MC biker x bartender
HEA and kids
Good epilogue

The outlaws crash the bar and she has bruises and the Heartlands President, Troy or Conley calls Jaxon and Beckham to help. They come and everyone is excited and silent due to their ruthless reputation. Jaxon sees Stella at the bar and is instantly captivated by her. He sees the bruise on her eye and decides to find the men who did it to her but has no luck. He comes to her house for something and it ends up with them sleeping with each other. He goes with the MC to kill anyone who dared try to hurt her. And he gets his revenge. Then he comes back and asks her to marry him and she says yes. Basic plot but some hot smut.

Solid 3/5

Jaxon.. swoon worthy,tough as nails, alpha protector, lover, loyal brother and fighter are a few words to describe Jaxon. Stella... tough, independent, loyal, virgin working in a biker bar describes Stella to a t...
Jaxon roles into town with his brother Beckham and his young niece Nixie to help his fellow Heartland MC biker brothers but one look at Stella and the big bad biker falls hard.. same goes for Stella who has managed to keep all the bikers out of her panties thus far fall fast and hard for newcomer Jaxon. The chemistry between these too is combustable, it gets hot and heavy pretty fast. Stella gets hurt during a rival attack... Jaxon is out for blood... no one will stop him from avenging his girl... we can’t forget to mention Nixie, her fast witty comeback comments and observations add humour to the book and hope that some day down the line she will get her own Alpha protector book too!
In true OTT form this book does not disappoint over the top alpha with eyes only for his girl!
Epilogue 2 months, 2 years and a real treat of 25 yrs later!
Now we wait for brother Beckham... I’m sure it will be a doozy!

This is a safe and steamy MC instalove story featuring with Stella, the good girl heroine working in a biker bar and Jaxon, the uber hawt alpha hero. The second these two lay eyes on each other, the attraction is instant and inescapable. Jaxon is in time to help the local ND chapter deal with a rival MC club. Although he is there to help his brothers, the issue becomes real personal real fast when he discovers that his Stella was injured by the rival club 's Prez. Jaxon goes from dedicated to feral, and don't we just love that in a hero?

The secondary characters were good, and Jason's niece is hilarious. As always, OTT supplies multiple satisfying apologies many years out that really cap the story off in a great way. I highly recommend this book.

Jaxon is book 5 in the Heartlands Motorcycle Club series. Olivia T Turner sure knows how to write an OTT alpha without allowing him to be a jerk. Jaxon is the true definition of a biker. Long blond hair muscular just plain sexy. Stella is the sweet little virgin that needs a man like Jaxon in her life. It's basically love at first site for the two. When Stella asks Jaxon, "So, you’re my stalker now?” He replies, “Stalker. Protector. Admirer. Lover. Take your pick.” I was hooked! Did I mention the book cover was super hot!

Stella is young and naive when she comes to work at the Heartlands MC bar.. When things go south for the club they bring in reinforcements. Those reinforcements are Jaxson and Beckham. Jaxson catches her eye.. He's tall, built, blonde and sexy as all hell. He is doing things to her just by looking at her. Jaxson spots Stella and he is drawn to her like no other woman. Can the bad biker and the sweet bar girl really make this work?

Beckham has a story and I can't wait for it and lets not forget Nixie their 10 year old niece who is a spitfire...

Loved This Book!

I loved everything about this book, starting with the cover. If I could give it more stars I would. It was beautifully written, and the story just flowed. It wasn’t all sunshine and roses, and that just made it more. Enjoyed the instant, stop in your tracks and forget to breathe attraction from both of them. But that little no nonsense spitfire of a niece, what a fun and wonderfully described little girl. The epilogues were, so.... I just loved their HEA!!!

Ride or die

Stella is a VCard working at the Heartlands biker bar. When the Ourlaws trash their bar, Jaxon, his brother and niece (who’s 10, but acts like she’s 80) show up as extended family.

After one day, Stella gives it up to Jaxon.
It’s super hot and a touch MC drama, revenge, you know.

Stella and Jaxon

This book started out good. There was a good build up to the relationship. However, because it was a short read, a lot was lost. It felt like everything had to happen at once. The book became choppy and didn't flow as well. I loved Nixie! That 10 year old was smart and funny!

This was a hot steamy yummy MC read about Jaxon and Stella. Their chemistry was off the charts. Once Jaxon saw Stella, he knew she was the one for him. I couldn't stop reading until i finished this thrilling, steamy, beautiful love story. This was a great addition to this awesome series and i can't wait to read more by Olivia Turner

Awesome addition

I am so excited the heartland ND has been extended and OTT wrote a great book where Stella finally finds a man of her own. Going the right direction is hard for the Heartland ND and the outlaws take advantage of it. Jason comes with his brother to get back at the outlaws. Along the way they find a new life and a forever love. Can't wait for Beckham
