Outlaw Souls #8
Butch
Butch wasn’t the man I was meant to be with...
My whole life had been planned out for me. I accepted it a long time ago as the result of being the last in line of a powerful political dynasty. I had certain expectations to fulfill. That meant stuffy dinner parties and photo ops. And love? That wasn’t even a consideration when my parents planned my marriage to a man that was determined to make it to the white house someday. I was suffocating under the pressure, so I did something completely out of character. A biker bar, a wild night with a man from a completely different world, and my first walk of shame. That should have been the end of it, but it wasn’t.
He showed up in my life, carving out a place for himself, even though I was supposed to marry another man. A man I didn’t love. Butch introduced me to freedom and fun, and the longer we sneaked around, the more I fell for him. Who would have thought that a tough biker could open my eyes to all the possibilities in life, if I were just brave enough to seize them? I have to make a choice. The life that I’m supposed to live or the man that cares about so much more than my lineage?
Will it be my obligation to my family or the love of an outlaw biker?

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Sabrina is the daughter of two rich and extremely affluent parents, everything that she does in life is to make them happy but nothing she does ever seems to meet with their approval. She needs something so when her friend Lacey suggests that they have a wild night out together she finds herself at the Blue Dog which is where she accidentally ends up pouring her drink all over Butch. The attraction is instant and after a night together she doesn’t know how she is meant to say good bye to a man who makes her feel but walk away she must especially as she is promised to another, a man she doesn’t know that her parents have chosen. They were never meant to meet again but fate has other ideas when she arrives at the soup kitchen where she volunteers to find Butch is the who she will be working with. Will she be able to walk away when all from a man she knows she loves just to keep her parents happy or is it time for her to make her own choices and live a life she wants?
Butch is an enforcer for the Outlaw Souls MC and works security at a strip club, the night he meets Sabrina the course of his life changes in a way that he was unprepared for, it was only ever meant to be a night of passion never to be repeated but when it turns out that they will be working together on a fundraiser for the soup kitchen will they be able to hide how they truly feel. Butch has never felt worthy of love after what he witnessed as a child but with Sabrina everything feels right. Will Sabrina realise what they have is worth fighting for?
I really loved this book in fact this has to be my favourite one of the series so far, these two characters had everything that I love and their journey to one another was one I will read again. Butch hasn’t ever felt worthy of love until he meets Sabrina and the insta love is electric, I cannot recommend this book more. Highly recommended read as always. 5* Read

A wonderful Story with Ups & Downs, Gaining Freedom, Their secret love & A Decision for HEA. DEVOURED this in 6hrs! I LOVED Sabrina+Butch❤.
ARC Received for a honest review.
Sabrina is the Senator's Daughter, her whole life laid out (Duties *sigh*). WHILE Butch, a strip club bouncer & An outlaw, is living a low-key but Good life. Their lives couldn't have been more different..
These two met in Blue dog Bar, Fiery attraction exploding (Result? A One-night-Stand!) They never thought they'll meet again, But they do! In Sean's Soup kitchen. There she volunteered, He? Here for A Fundraiser (for a great cause!)
As Both organised it(A success!).. truths reveal & They grow closer (Respect, Hope, Care, Dare..Love?)
Her unloved-engagement was hanging on them, but what's the problem in a little fun before their inevitable end?
But soon the thrill of sneaking around wanes, He Didn't want to be her Side man. He just wanted her. But she wasn't his, was she?
Their feelings have come into play, so it was better to break it off now than heartbreak, yeah? Too late.. Is it the End?
Both were so miserable..
THE TWIST!
Then her reason to Break her chains, to stand for herself came: She's pregnant with Butch's baby!
What insued next was Family Drama, Making her own decisions *Freedom!*, Marriage breaking, A Heart-gripping fight outside the strip club (Why? She's not the reason..), Giving Butch the baby news (Such a sweet Scene❤) & the beautiful HEA!
He Had his family now, he couldn't have been happier.
The epilogue was Amazing!
P.s. Loved her bestie! Sabrina's ex-fiance's a good guy, a great side character.
Loved seeing our lovable guys again! Highly liked that Rival MC-Las Balas weren't a problem here *Whew* The Trouble? The Petition.
This Was a Awesome read, so excited for more in the series!

⚖️⚖️ONE EXPLOSIVE THRILL ⚖️⚖️
Pivotal! Hope brought it with this kickass smackdown, riding through purgatory with a vengeance, blasting the gates of hell wide open, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Stumbling through a minefield of deadly peril, chilling danger and unnerving suspense, maneuvering through the dark manipulations of menacing deeds and malicious intent, kicking ass and dispatching foes, propelling this baby to life flawlessly. Traversing the intimidating trials and challenging tribulations, alongside the shocking twists and startling turns, testing our characters in ways than they could have never anticipated. Shattered lines and pushing boundaries, limitations are amplified and exploited, displaying all the fervent facts, feels and fiascos, shifting this baby into overdrive, breaking it down, blasting it into a tizzy with an astonishing culmination. The raw magnetism, undeniable attraction and sizzling chemistry collides with such intensity, exposing deep emotions, drawing our characters closer, binding them to one another perfectly. The complexity of the characters, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits adding depth and diversity, transforming into genuinely amazing personalities. The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels like you can just reach out and touch it. Remarkable job Hope, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.

I enjoyed getting to know Butch and Sabrina. They came from to completely different backgrounds but they managed to put all that aside in the end to reach for their HEA. I won’t give out details or anything like that but the HEA ending is guaranteed by Hope Stone. I have read and loved all of her books and this one is no exception. Butch and Sabrina had issues and prejudice to battle but they were just themselves. For a short while they agreed not to see each other’s as their feelings grew but knowing that Sabrina was engaged they had to put distance between them to protect their hearts what they didn’t know was that is was already too late. Oops...I said I wouldn’t give details so I don’t spoil the story for readers but I couldn’t help it. Loved that they found their HEA even when it wasn’t easy especially for Sabrina. Anyway, I highly recommend Butch (the book 🤣) and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

They meet again and she lets him know that she is engaged to be married, this makes him mad.
Their night together made her pregnant and they come back together to raise the child.
Together they can face anything especially her parents, who still think she doesn’t know her own mind.
They are happy together and have a great future together.

This book brings us Butch and Sabrina. Two individuals who were as different as night and day. However, as outward appearances differed, their life choices were similar. They both were there to help people that they cared about. Sabrina was a woman whose parents were social climbers, in fact, her father was a Senator. They had her life all planned out for her - whether she liked it or not. Sabrina went to a bar where she met Butch. There was an instant connection, and they had a great time together. However, knowing about their difference, they thought they'd never see each other again - but neither could stay away. It is so good when you see names from past books appear. This is a great read - with a fantastic ending. I HIGHLY recommend it. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

2 different worlds
Sabrina visits the wild side of life for once and likes it.
Butch never felt like this about another woman before.
What they have is special and looks like it will be over before it can even get started.
Their story is so believable because they come from 2 different worlds (Senators daughter vs Enforcer).
She has parents that want everything just perfect because dad is a senator.
His dad left and his mom is strung out on drugs.
Eventually Sabrina opens her eyes and sees her life as it should be.

I believe this is one of my favorites in the series...don’t get me wrong they’re all good. Freedom is what she wants but is doing her ‘duty’ as a senator’s daughter and is in an arranged marriage (well engaged), which is loveless. When she meets Butch there’s instant chemistry so what harm is a one night stand ? From two completely different worlds would they even be able to make anything work ? When they meet again they find out they have more in common than you would think BUT she drops the bomb on Butch that she’s engaged. Oh boy what will he do ?

I enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Sabrina, a good girl from a rich political family, meets Butch, the bad boy biker, at a bar. Sabrina is looking for a a wild time outside of her normal, boring life. When she accidentally dumps her drink on Butch, "instalust" ensues and turns into a one night stand. This story touched me in so many ways. These two are from different worlds and you wonder how they can be together and make it as a couple.

Poor little rich girl, senator’s daughter Sabrina Barnett can’t make herself disappoint her parents with the exception of working at the soup kitchen. She goes with her friend for the Outlaw Souls bar and her drink is promptly spilled on club enforcer Brian ‘Butch’ Finnell and that led to the best night of her life. Not that it will interfere with her arranged engagement.
Though to this reader’s taste, the outing was less than okay, the sneak/cheating and Sabrina was too spineless for me to find a modicum of enjoyment here. I guess the rich are too different.
Rating: 2.25stars

Wow. Hope does it again. The Outlaw Souls MC series for me has all been unputdownable!
Here, Butch, Outlaw Soul and bouncer for a strip club meets Sabrina, daughter of US Senator and politically committed to marry Hunter. But a one-off fling proves to be life changing for Sabrina. Plenty of action, surprises, twists and turns and a heart warming romance with HEA.

A meeting of two worlds.
Political family/parent pleasing Sabrina meets strip club bouncer/Outlaw Souls member Butch.
Because of a spilled drink, sparks fly and a connection is made...
Add this to some action, a bit of steam and a couple surprises, and you'll get another very good installment that's part of this great MC series.
Great work miss Stone !!

I really enjoyed reading this story. It was an MC story but also contained a lot of other themes that I really gravitate towards including good girl with bad boy and rich person being attracted to a person in a lower economic class. The story was steamy, exciting, and also frustrating sometimes when I just didn't agree with the way one of the characters was acting. I especially loved the happy ending.

Sabrina is the only child of a prominent politician. Her life has been planned out for her since the day she was born, and there is nothing that she can do about it.
Butch is a guy from the wrong side of the tracks. He is part of Outlaw Souls and does an honest job. But is he good enough for Sabrina?
Sabrina and Butch start something that is only supposed to be a fling, but turns into so much more. A good read.

This was a really good story! Butch and Sabrina are from opposite sides of town. Butch is a member of the Outlaw Souls MC. She comes from Money. Her side of this story points out that sometimes we can go above and beyond to please your parents and you still won’t get that feeling of you’ve done well. There was adventure, sadness, Joy, lust and enough steam to power a train. Life is something you grab by the horns and see where it takes you. Follow your own path even if it sometimes
Can be an obstacle course.

Great!
I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book.I really enjoy it most of the characters.It was a book compassion kindness, using your own mind, I'm thinking about yourself. Also doing something for yourself and not doing it because somebody else want you to do it. Really great read! I recommend this book to all romance and MC lovers.

This installmemt of the Outaw Souls was fantastic. Sabrina falls for the man from the wrong side of town and is engaged to marry someone of stature. Butch falls for the society girl. Will their love outway her parents wishes and her sense of commitment? Thrill ride from the start. HEA.

The author has, once again, pulled us into the Outlaw Souls MC members lives. Butch and Sabrina are from opposite sides of town, but have an instant attraction. Will they be able and willing to work on their differences?

A great story
With the great characters, humor, drama, angst, mystery, suspense, and many unexpected twists, this was a story that you won't want to miss.
I would recommend this book, series, and author.

Politically incorrect
This story had lots of players , bikers, politics, strip clubs, church. A poker run to help the local food bank sure changed the lives of 2 people. I recommend this story to others.

I think this has to be my favorite out of the series. Two people from two different worlds, one is supposed to marry another that she doesn't love, but all good romances end the way they should, not to mention the chemistry was hot and kept my turning those pages. I especially loved the ending!
