Rocke #4

The War Within

Rate this book
Axel never expected that one day could change his entire life.
He never thought that one day could haunt him, torment him, and surround him in darkness.
Not seeing a way out, Axel finds solace in the bottom of a whisky bottle.

He finds solace hiding away from life, from his family, and from their worry and disappointment.
But there is one person he can't hide from: Patience.
He can’t hide from her emerald eyes. They pierce his soul. They are the only light to break through the darkness, a beacon of light he cannot keep away from.


Patience is a biker at heart.
The Satan’s Outlaws were her family; a family she broke away from. She couldn't bring herself to be a part of that life anymore. She needed to be free, to live her life without them.

But in trying to build a life for her and her daughter, she found herself feeling trapped with nowhere to turn.
The moment she sees Axel, the moment she sees the pain and sadness in his eyes, she is drawn to him. She should keep away from him, she has her own hell to deal with, but she finds herself not being able to stay away.


When messed up attracts messed up, can they come together and make something beautiful and strong? Will love be enough to break through the darkness?


Will Axel be able to defeat The War Within?


Axel and Patience’s journey is one with many twists and turns, but it’s one they won't have to face on their own. The Satan’s Outlaws and the Rocke family will be with them every step of the way, ensuring there will never be a dull moment, and bringing laughter and inappropriate comments.


The War Within is the final book in The Rocke series.


Containing violence, hot alphas, and sassy women.

I'm a self published author. I fell in love with reading as an adult, when I found the romance genre. I immediately got sucked into the stories and fell in love.
The romcom, the dark, the Suspense, all of them!

I struggled a lot with reading and writing when I was younger. Being dyslexic made it extremely hard for me, but I loved writing stories even then.

I wrote Rise Above in secret too scared and embarrassed that it wasn't good enough, that people would laugh at it, at me.
My husband pushed me to take the leap. So I did. Not having an editor to start with and a friend making my cover it scary jumping into a world your unsure of what to do. Learning as I go.
Its the best decision I ever made. The response was amazing.
I am currently working on the rest of the series. And plan on writing until I run out of words.
I love it and one thing I've learnt is you only live once and you should to do what you love and what makes you happy.
I hope that people enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

Loved this whole series. The Rocke sisters are amazing. Girls after my own heart. But Axel was the one who stole it. His story was heartbreaking & yet I loved that he got his happy ever after. Not just with Patience, but with Maddison, Miguel & all the Satan’s. He deserved it. A fabulous 5 stars from me!
Can’t wait for the Satan’s series!!!

Let me tell you,
I have been dying for this book since what feels like the dawn of time.
Axel's story is definitely abit more deep than the others with situations but damn do they get your heart beating.
Axel and Patience story is combustible, these two together is off the charts.
I've been a big fan of L.G. Campbell's since reading Rise Above last year and it just continues with every book.
I absolutely love this series, i love the close knit of family and the Rocke sisters has me cracking up.
I wish i could to back to the beginning of Rise Above and read again for the first time and experience these characters all over again.
I'm looking forward for what's to come!
L.G. Campbell is a serious hidden gem, your missing out on these books.

Well she’s done it again...

The War Within is outstanding.

The heat between Axel and Patience is off the charts. They are both ‘broken’ and they are there for each other above anything else! They just belong....

Absolutely love the banter, the humour, the sass, the tight family, JUST EVERYTHING. The Rocke Family and Satan’s outlaw are phenomenal together and absolutely had me laughing so much.

Absolutely adore these books.. books

Yet another fantastic story for those Rocke family members giving us an insight into Axel this time.. and what an insight it was!!
I knew Axel would be the story i needed... I really love the previous characters were great but I fell hard for Axel which amazed me as I though Rip would be my main man!!
Axel is lost broken and struggling to get through life after leaving being a soldier but his heart is thrown into shock when spitfire Patty pops up and smashes his defences down!
Love the relationship with Axel and Maddie... Axel and Patty.. Axel and Miguel.. above all else I love Axel haha
This read yet again was a rollercoaster of full on drama.. intense chemistry and hilarious moments with all the Girls!
I beg hope and pray with all I have that we get Wes story one day too!

I've loved this whole series! I'm glad Axel got his own book, it's been great to see who he really is and his journey of what he needs to overcome. Again, the banter between everyone is on point and made me laugh! Sad that I've finished but more to look forward to with Hidden Truths! ❤️

If you liked the first 3 books then you're going to love this!
The War Within is an action packed roller-coaster of a ride that begins immediately and doesn't let up till the end.
Axel and Patience both have been through so much. Fighting their demons that they discover are best fought together.
She is his saviour. His dark angel.
This is the final book in the series but it's the starts of so much more.
The War Within sets up the starts of the Satan's Outlaws Series.
This is an excellent first by L G Campbell and I for one can not wait to read more about Wes, Khan, Rubble and my favorite Mamouth.

Hell yeah we got Axel’s story...

And what a story it was.

Struggling with ptsd , we watch Axel take on the role of protector ..
whilst battling his own demons and swearing loyalty to the Satan’s .
We watch him grow and fall in love ...
and what an amazing fall it is.

Patience is feisty and full of sass , and so god damn perfect for Axel.


Loved every second of this book ...

You did it again, Girl 😘

I was lucky enough to read an ARC of The War Within and I was totally blown away. I loved Axel and Patience's story so much. For me, the amount of romance, passion, angst and MC club action was perfectly balanced. The whole Rocke series is a real hidden gem and I highly recommend you check them out. Great end to a great series. Can't wait for the Satan's Outlaws MC club to get their own series now.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Axel is just as amazing as his sisters, I just fell in love with him more and more as the chapters went on, love that we still get to know the rest of the family and Satan's as the book goes on too, as always I could not put it down.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a read!


This book was freaking heaven to read.

I loved how there was still the drama of the Satan’s but it didn’t consume the whole story and we got to learn so much more about patience and Axel as characters. They were just perfect for each other and there dynamics fit perfectly with the overall group of characters we already have in the Rocke Series.

The sacrifice both Patience and Axel has to make repeatedly throughout there lives made them into these amazing people that will bend over backwards for those closest to them but I’m glad to see they both finally found someone that would go to the ends of the earth for them. They deserve all the love and happiness.

Bravo Lauren you absolutely Rocked this book!

Drew me in
I am new to this author and this is the first book of hers that I have read. I must admit, she was able to draw me into this world and I was happy to be there. This is the final book in this series, but even though I have not read any of the others I was not lost, and the plot was strong. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to see what I missed. The side characters were excellent and helped push the story along. Alex and Patience were magical together and fit in every way. I loved how they came together and fought to stay together. Sometimes you find the best things when you aren’t even looking for them! This story had love, laughter, angst, drama, and everything you could want. I would definitely recommend this author now that I have found her!

Be warned; L G Campbell will not only melt your heart but your panties too, with another amazingly fabulous read from the Rocke series. I love the settings, characters, and the suspense. I absolutely love all the Rocke family and how they were intertwined into each others books. I just loved it. It was a long wait for Axel's story, but it was worth the wait and, omg, I can't believe who he ends up with! I won't say so I don't spoil the story for others, but it's beautiful! Can't wait to see what is next... these books are so seriously addicting!!!

Holy Christ!! This series has had me on the edge of my seat and also laughing out loud!!
Axel and Patience's story broke my heart. Both have been to the darkest of places but together, maybe they can share the light.
There is so much going on in this book!! My heart was in my mouth, enemies seemed to be closing in! But amongst that is the feeling of family, loyalty, love. The Rocke siblings are freaking badasses!! Their parents are freaking hilarious!!
I am gearing myself up to read the Satan's Outlaws MC now! But I am not sure I am ready!!

So happy to read Patience & Axel's story! Both characters have been through a lot, but they are fortunately surrounded by a great family who supports them. This story is a mixture of healing, hurt, stress, and so much love. As Axel's story wraps up the Rocke family series, we get a better glimpse into the how the motorcycle club runs, learning more about the rising issues that have been occurring and seeing a little more of Patience's family. As incredibly fond of the Rocke family as I am, I am SO excited to continue reading this story with the next series following the Satan's Outlaws!

Bittersweet

This book is bittersweet for me, it’s the end of an epic series and Lauren did not disappoint; we went out with a bang!
God Axel. Axel axel axel. You beautiful soul.
Gah I loved him, I loved patience.
Lauren you’ve broken me.

I am so sad to see the end of this series but so grateful I got to enjoy it.
This will be one for a re read. I love the characters in all of these books.

The emotion, the humour, the love and the steam - it’s just epic.
Well done my lovely, well done xxx

What a way to finish the Rocke series.

L.g.campbell has definitely finished this series with a bang, Axel haunted by war and patience feeling trapped. I've absolutely loved this book and the whole rocke series. There's drama, violence, inappropriate comments and oh yes can't forget the hot bikers. I highly recommend you read this series. Looking forward to future books from this author especially the Satan's outlaw books.

love it

Incredible book really enjoyed this book.I loved the story for patience and axel. But again it’s the whole falling in love within seconds that gets me each family member has done same. While yes it can happen but not ever single family member.

Although it could be so they get straight to the story but I don’t know but it’s definitely worth a read.
