Shoot first, ask questions later, that’s Axle’s motto.
When you’re the hit man, there’s little time for romance and sunset walks on the beach.
So when Bell Marco, the femme fatale hit me, I knew it was fate.
I’m the wild, the reckless, the untamable beast who knows my way around a car.
We’re up against it with a rival gang allegiance threatening our chop shop operation and the cops are on our ass.
When the Reaper’s badass daughter showed up leading the charge…
Let's just say I wanted to taste and kill my prey at the same time.
A sassy hellcat with a mane of ebony night and a heart as dark as mine stepped on my turf and the temptation was like bitter chocolate.
Will this vixen break down all of Axle’s defenses and ruin the Guardians?
Or will they find a way to break all the taboo’s to be together?

This it's definitely my favorite book in this series to-date. It's gritty, crazy, and makes me cheer for Bell and Axle. The ending is... you really just need to read to see. I am curious to see where things go from here for them.
You can probably get away with reading as a standalone but this series is building upon the prior books. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A Quick MC Read
This time we have Axle’s story who was the enforcer for the Guardians of Mayhem MC. He was working at the shop when all of a sudden gun fire was everywhere. Good thing he was a sharp shooter. As the two remaining rivals took off Axle followed them and was about to question and take one of them out when he realized it was a woman who he had caught. Axle doesn’t kill women no matter what. Not only did he not kill her they hooked up. Add to that she is the daughter of Reaper and he has made her into a killing machine…that is until he puts out an order.
This book was full of betrayals ad chemistry. I can’t wait to read more of Bell and what she has waiting for her!

In book three of the Guardians of Mayhem we meet the club's enforcer Axle. Axle get off on killing. The Vipers and the Devils of Destruction is at it yet again and hit the auto repair shop. One day while Axle was there by himself. He took them out but two tried to get away, he made chase only to find out that one of the biker was a woman. When he tried to interrogate them. He was distracted by her beauty, she beat up on him and got away. She was the Reapers daughter of head of rival gang.
Bell Marco is a equal partner with her dad. Her dad was in the Edgewood prison and still call the shots from behind bars. Bell is a ruthless killer, smart and very cunning. She was certain the Guardians warehouse was a front for a chop shop. She wanted to find out about their car operations and shut them down, which would substantially cripple their finances. She also wanted to get close to Axle the Guardians enforcer, she thought that by getting close to him would be the key to getting the information on the Guardians. But she also have her own selfish reasons for wanting to get close to him. Because she thought that he was very attractive and handsome and he turned her on the last time they tangled in a shootout.
Bell taunt Axle he wanted to hurt and sleep with her at the same time. You see they're both like minded. She would make the perfect girl for him but she's the enemy. Axle didn't care he was given an order to kill her but he couldn't because he wanted to sleep with her. The two explore their lust and attraction and it was libidinous, concupiscent and carnal. Axle was secretly sleeping with Bell and it caused a rift between him and Finn. Finn thought he was a double agent because he wouldn't kill Bell, so he threatened to kill him and her. Bell was supposed to kill Axle but the more time that she spent with him she could not bring herself to him because she was falling in love with him. They couldn't stay away from each other Axle had fallen in love with her too. But the Guardians put out a hit on her so they had to lay low. Bell dad knew that she had fallen in love with the enemy and he doesn't tolerate betrayal not even from his daughter. Therefore, he put in the call with the guys setting up hit on his daughter. But he gave her a hour head start to get out of town. The Vipers and the Devils of Destruction also found out that she was sleeping with Axle so they also put out a hit on her too per the Reaper instructions. Bell is now on the run for her life with two gang hunting her. But Axle and her each vowed that they would not kill each other if it comes down to it. This book ends in a cliffhanger.

This was my favorite story of this series so far! It was steamy and had one of my favorite themes, enemies to lovers. I was anticipating what would happen when the two MC groups found out what was going on between Axel and Bell. I was not expecting the consequences that Bell was left with at the end of the book though. I kind of feel like the author is going to write a story to continue this tale and although I know it won't be the next story in the bundle. I'm hoping it comes before the series is over. I really enjoyed this story with all it's secrets and excitement. I received a review copy of this story from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

Axel is the third novella in the series and I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get more information from the ending of the second book. I mean I know we got this is what happened I just wanted it expanded I guess. Ok besides that this was a good novella although the first one was better. Finn being with someone who works in the sheriff’s office, Havoc seeing the mayor’s daughter and now Axel with Bell. I think these guys are a glutton for punishment and out for death from their own brothers. I still wanna know what happens.
I received this as an arc and this is my honest and voluntary review.

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Axle is the third book in the ‘’guardians of mayhem MC’’ 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 danger heads for the MC yet again, Axle meets the enemies’ daughter. When sparks fly between them, what will happen?
I liked how similar Axle and Bell was.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Wow!! What an intense book by Hope Stone. This one is Axle and it is the third in the series and it is so intense!!! It has a cliffhanger and I am wondering what is going to happen next. Axle is with the Guardians and he meets Bell who is part of the Vipers who is the other rival MC gang in town. Things are so heated and steamy between Axle and Bell and it just might cost them their lives. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for a honest opinion. I loved it and can't wait to see what happens next. I would highly recommend reading this book!!

This novella brings us Axle and Bell. Axle is a member of the Guardians. Bell is the daughter of the leader of the Vipers and is trying to bring down the Guardians. They meet at their bar, and there is instant chemistry which they both deny. Both Axle and Bell are told to eliminate the other, instead, they end up having sex. Neither one wants to kill the other, and this down end in a cliffhanger, so we shall see what transpires. This was a short read in the continuing series. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

What an action back twisting book. Axle is the sexy, but lethal enforcer for the Guardians of Mayhem MC. He takes what he wants and feels nothing until Bell rides into his life and kicks him on his ass. Bell is the daughter of the vicious enforce of the Viper's MC. He always puts his club first and kill anyone who crosses him.
Axle and Bell maybe sworn enemies but that doesn't stop them burning up the sheets. How long will it before their clubs find out and kill them. Come along for the fast and hard ride sex, death, and choices.
I received an advance copy for honest review.

Book 3 - Axel the gang’s enforcer. Initially I thought that this Guardians of Mayhem series was not as good as the Outlaw Souls MC series... it is probably more realistic of a MC club - rawer, the characters less attractive, lawless. This book is on fire - fast action, twisty, steamy, and Axel and Bell have become almost likeable characters forced out on a limb...

Confused and disappointed
Loved the story but no ending with no idea if there is another book with the ending. I read another few books that mention Axle and Bell where they are together but there's no mention of how they got there. Very frustrating. I really like the wring and stories, but I prefer my books to have an ending or to at least know where the end will be found. Not sure if I will spend anymore money on these books.

Axle's story is the 3rd book in the Guardians of Mayhem MC Series.
This is a story of unsuspected attraction between members of rival clubs.
A quick read full of intensity, action and forbidden chemistry.
Sad thing about it: It ends on a cliffhanger.... ;)

Axle is book 3 in the Guardians of Mayhem MC and a good continuation of the series. Axle and Bell have great chemistry, which makes for an intense, steamy story. I am enjoying this series. This honest review is based on the free pre-release copy from the author I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

Axel is the enforcer for the club. He is ordered to take out Bella from the Vipers as she is a threat to the club. Will he be able to do it or will his heart get in the way? This is a fast, short romantic MC read. No HEA in this installment. Will they ever get their HEA? I received this book for free and am voluntarily leaving a review
December 9, 2020
I got so into this book that I didn't even realize I had read it as fast as I had. The chemistry between Axle and Bella was off the charts, considering who they were it was definitely a forbidden chemistry. I strongly recommend this book.

This is the book three in the series and it's about Axle and Bell( daughter of the enemy of the Mayhem group. It's well written, good plot and lovely characters. Though it ends in cliffhanger, I still enjoyed it. I received an ARC for my honest review

I have liked this series so far and this book was no different. The book seemed short but that could be because I inhaled the reading. Loved the characters and the story. Intense characters and a world that was very believable. Would recommend.

This was definitely the grittiest of the series so far. Axle is the enforcer of the GOM and has been tasked with taking out a rival MC member, Bell. Problem is he wants her desperately. She is as bada** in her own right. Good story.

Axle is the enforcer for the Guardians. Belle is the daughter of the leader of the Vipers. Their first interaction doesn’t bode well for Axle and this starts a love hate relationship between the two. Both Axle and Belle are strong characters and caught between their rival gangs. Great addition to the series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book endings
I do like the way your books have no endings. You don't write an ending so I assume you will finish the story in the next book but you don't. The books are good but I would just like a ending to them either in the main book or the one following.

The reason for the 2 stars is because Axle ends with “cliffhanger” and I’m not real sure there will be a conclusion.
Bell is the daughter of one MCs leader and Axle is the legacy of the rival MC. Neither expects the chemistry that erupts. Trying to figure out how make that chemistry work is a whole different story. The sexual tension is explosive even in this quick read.
