As Road Captain of the Steele Raiders MC, Ax’s life is ruled by his loyalty to the club and the oath to never betray a brother, dead or alive. For years, he’s watched over his fallen brother’s wife and daughter while refusing to let his true feelings get in the way.
He loves her, but he can’t have her.
Sage is in love with Alex Easton. A feeling he does not reciprocate. She’s an obligation—a painful reminder of his fallen brother—and, therefore, off-limits. After years of rejection, Sage decides to move on—to move past the club, to move past her love for Alex.
It’s a move that will cost her everything.
When Sage lands herself in some serious hot water, the club comes to her rescue.
Can Ax and the Steele Raiders keep her and her daughter safe?
Will Ax finally reveal his feelings for Sage, or will this new threat tear them apart for good?
Sometimes you have to fight for love, but sometimes you have to destroy for it.

Ax and Sage have always loved each other but they never confessed. Sage is the wife of a dead brother and in order to honour his brother's memory , Ax never made a move on her. Sage and her Daughter have always been so important to Ax but letting his feelings get in the way was never his style. After years of rejection , Sage has now finally decided to move on from him.
However , this move of hers, lands her into a lot of trouble , trouble of the type that only Ax can remove. Now she is back to square one , with the man who would never love her back. Having Sage so close is making it tough for Az to stay away from her. Maybe now was finally the chance to make his move and claim what had always been his.
This book was a crazy ride of emotions and turbulence. The author had written the book really well but still there were some parts where I felt that it was a bit Duh. This one was a one time read for me and I would definitely recommend it to all the MC Romance lovers out there!
Destroy for Her by RB Hilliard a five-star read that will Destroy your heart. This is number thee in the Steel Raiders MC series, they could be read as stand-alone as the author does a great job of filling the story in without being repetitive if you know the story. This one was my all-time favourite, as it was like a coming together, there were cameos and mentions of my favourite boys wrapped into the story. Sage looked like she was finally getting what she needed, after Gibbs, but life has a way of playing with you. Ax was like the water and sunshine on a flower allowing the Petal to flourish and grow, that’s what Sage needed, but will it be what she gets. This is a rollercoaster of a story, just when you think you have both feet safely on the ground, boom rug pulled, and you are flipped, and your heart is in your mouth again. Do not miss this compelling and long-awaited story, from one of the best authors I have ever read.
This was an enjoyable story. I enjoyed the characters Alex we adored Sage however she got on our nerves a bit because everything out of her mouth showed her naivety and considering she spent almost 8 years in an MC clubhouse and married to a member of the cartel we could not believe the nonsense coming out of her mouth.
Alex and Sage have a past with friendship and attraction and chemistry and so much more but, when it's one-sided it was time to move on. Or was it?
Overall we enjoyed the story as it had interesting characters the story was full of drama and suspense and the story itself drew you right in from the very first pages. We loved Sages daughter was such a sweetheart. The stubbornness of these characters to admit they belonged together made the story even more interesting and the old ladies and their fodder bumped things up a level. Intrigue and more intrigue in this story and as it progresses now some pieces from former stories are starting to fit into place. Also, we loved that the story wasn't solely about Alex and Sage and that other families were struggling to figure out things as well. Well done!
This book was phenomenal!! Right from the first few pages the story took off. The characters were written perfectly. The author did cover the back story but the way it was done coincided with the current. The bond between these characters was truly a family bond. There was never a dull moment.
Sage was broken by two men in her life. One was important and one was an escape. Her whole world was her daughter and she had to make things right but running back to her past was going to be hard. Especially when the right man was waiting.
Ax was loyal to his brothers. He was a big part of the MC. He thought he was moving on until Sage needed them. He wasn’t going to waste his chance again. He was going to get his girls rightfully this time and nothing would stop him.
Wow... I couldn't wait for Ax and Sage's story and let me tell you this book did not disappoint. I was hooked from the first page till the very end. I just swooned over Ax. He is a member of the Steele Raiders MC and and takes his brotherhood very seriously. His brother Gibbs died 5 years earlier leaving behind his widow Sage and her daughter Petal. Ax, while secretly always in love with Sage, stepped in and not only became a surrogate father to Petal but built a beautiful friendship with Sage. No matter his feelings, you don't move in on a brother's old lady, whether he's alive or dead. Sage was such a wonderful character, I just loved her. Ax stole her heart without even trying and therein lies the problem for Sage. She has let Ax know her feelings and her love for him, but out of loyalty, he wont go there with her. She decides the only way to get over him is to move on with her life and move away from the MC. And that's exactly what she does until she finds her life in danger and needs their help. That's about all I'm going to say about this story. Trust me, just dive in, you wont be disappointed. These two characters have such amazing chemistry. Their love and respect for each other is so beautiful. Petal is such a charming little girl and her character was an added bonus. This story has lots of romance, action, suspense and of course you get the rest of the MC brothers and their old ladies. This story took me on a wonderful journey and I highly recommend it.
Just brilliant! The more books in this series the more i fall for all the characters.
I knew Alex and Sage's story would be a heart clencher and it did that totally but it also filled my heart to the brim.
Poor Sage. I felt her pain, not just from her recent pain but the past one's too. She took so much from her first husband. Then Alex's rejection and then her recent ex. It's a wonder the poor girl wasn't rocking in a corner! Thankfully and eventually Alex pulls his head outta his derriere and fesses up his feelings.
Alex finally see's what he should have seen years before and after a few hiccups he steps up.
I've loved him through first few books but in this one he turns up the heat! Phewwww boy! Sage is a lucky lucky girl!
I loved them together. A combination of fiery passion and love. The years and years build up overflows all over the pages and the ending gave me so much joy it was like a big warm hug! There's everything in this story. Danger, chases, fun, heat, love, passion, and Brotherhood. It's a fast ride i didn't want to end!
Ohhhhhh and a little Meltdown? Ha! Brillliiiiaaaannt!
Loved the story, loved the couple, loved seeing Steele and Buck so bloody happy, also now i'm dying for Ink and Montana! The bits at the end... *gasp* whats gonna happen there then?
Ohhh and i have to mention Arson. I'm not sure he'll get a book but... he's burrowing his way in. I kinda wanna try his pumpkin homebrew lol
This series is becoming a firm fave and i gotta say the covers are just to die for! I love em!
This is the 3rd book in the Steele Raiders MC series and it did not disappoint. Sage has been in love with Ax for a while. She didn’t plan on falling for this man who was a friend and brother to her deceased husband. But some things happen without our plan or control. When Sages husband Gibby dies during club business, Ax steps in to help take care of his deceased friends little girl and widow. Ax has always been attracted to Sage from a distance, so it’s not a surprise that so much time spent together causes that attraction to turn into love for the both of them. But Ax has a code, and his dead brothers wife isn’t a line he will cross.
When loving him from a distance and her attempts to connect on a deeper level are rejected, Sage feels she has no other choice but to move on. What else can she do? It’s become too painful to stay.
I don’t want to give too much away what happens next but Sage’s choice lands her and her daughter into a very dangerous place. One that could cost her and her daughter their lives.
This story scared me a little. Monsters are real. The human kind are anyway and I felt for Sage and her situation. I tried to imagine what I would do to survive or to protect my child.
Ax is angry about the way Sage left. Just a note and nothing more. But he still cares for her. They all do. Once you are part of the Steele Raiders family you always are. And if she needs them they come. But things have changed Ax was forced to move on with his life too. Sage being back has not changed that or has it?
This one had me thinking the worst was over for our couple and then BOOM it wasn’t.
This book is a great addition to this series. I also liked that RB makes mention of characters from her MMG series and her Meltdown guys make a brief appearance. All three series Id highly recommend to read.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I'm convinced there's nothing this author can't write!! She's just so amazing! From the very first page I was completely captivated and needed to know more!
Sage and Alex have been dancing around each other for YEARS, with so much tension undernesth, and now we finally know why. After the death of her husband (who wasn't really all that great) she finds herself pulled more and more to Ax, and although he feels the same, in his mind it wouldn't be right to get involved with w fallen brothers wife. So he pushes her away, and she ends up in the arms of a very dangerous man. Barley just escaping with her own life intact and her beautiful little girl, she's finally back home.. And that darn pull to Ax is stronger than ever. But can this finally be their happy ever after? If will something -- or someone -- always stand in their way?
Talk about an emotional overload!! I truly enjoyed both Sage and Ax, even if I was annoyed at times with their actions. And adorable Petal completely stole the show for me!! All three of them made the perfect family and I'm so glad they got their happy ending!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
Sage has had a thing for Ax (the Steele Raiders MC road captain) for some time, but there came a time when she was over the rejection & left. Ax felt things for Paige but since she was the widow of his club brother (who was a cheater), he wouldn't go there but he was upset when she left but as far as I'm concerned, there's no reason why he should have been because he kept rejecting her. Sage ends up with a monster, so unfortunately, she has to call on the club to help keep her & her daughter safe despite not wanting to, however she would do anything for her child. Ax really set me off this round because he acted like he had reason to be resentful towards her after the choice she made, but seriously, he needed to get over himself because Sage & Petal (daughter) are in a bad way, and that monster who almost killed her?! Well he's not about to let her go that easily, so let the twists & action begin, and maybe just maybe some chemistry won't be denied. I still have a question or two so I'm hoping it will be answered in the next book, but for now, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This is book 3 in the Steele Raiders MC series. I loved it every bit as the other two, maybe more. It’s the story of Ax & Sage. They’ve loved each other from afar for years but because of loyalty, couldn’t be together. I knew their story would break my heart and I wasn’t wrong. Sage trusts the wrong man and before you know it, her & her little daughter, Petal are in a nightmare situation. One thing leads to another and the MC are there to catch her when she needs them. There were twists & turns, gasp out loud moments and tears. You’re gonna love it, like I did. I love the fact that we had a wee bit of Meltdown in there too. Arson & his home brew was another giggle moment, it sounds disgusting to be fair. All in all, Destroy for Her, for me was another, amazing 5 ⭐️ read.
Oh wow R.B. Hilliard has done it again , Destroy for her was such an amazing book loved everything about it from the story to the characters I was hooked . R.B. is one of my top authors and this story become one of my favorites . This can be read as a standalone but I recommend that you read them in order to better fall for the characters . My heart really broke for the couple mostly Sage really loved her as a heroine she was a league of her own . The hero did upset me with how he would handle things but by the end he totally made up for it . I can't wait to read more by one of my favorite authors she just has a way of telling a story that draws you and doesn't let you go even after you get to the end you are still thinking about the journey . If you are new to this authors books you need to binge them as soon as possible starting with the MMG series .
This is Ax's (Alex Easton, Steele's cousin) and it's full of twists and turns. It's a story of lost chances, second chances, good triumphing over evil, and sexy men finally doing what's right.
Ax has loved Sage for years but wouldn't do anything because she was his best friend's widow. When Sage finally gave up and started looking somewhere else things weren't what they seemed. This is the story of Ax and Sage (and Petal) working through all the bad to find their way to their happily ever after. It's not always a smooth road but the end is worth the pit holes and sharp curves along the way. And I sure didn't see that ending coming!
Sage has one incredible story. She's definitely has her rounds with the wrong men. Fortunately she gets her chance with the right man and life for her and her daughter Petal soon becomes bright for both of them. Ax has loved Sage for years but felt like he was betraying his brothers memory if he acted on it. This story is just full of action, angst, surprises at every turn and in the midst of all of this she FINALLY gets the guy that was meant to be hers all along. Their love is so strong and pure and is definitely a love that lasts a lifetime.
Enough sparks to make my kindle combust. Sage & Ax there was no denying there feelings for one another. What a tangled web Sage got herself wrapped up in . The suspense had me flipping the pages to see what ball was gonna drop next & on who . You will catch up with some of the others in this book as well .
Holy Smokes!!!! The third book of the Steele Riders did not disappoint!! Ax and Sage’s story is one with many twists and turns! Cartel, DEA, and motorcycle clubs oh my! I couldn’t put the book down!!!
I loveee this serie. Found out about these books in a Fb group and read all three books in three days. I started reading and couldn’t stop and just lost time. And those kind of books are just the best!
Amazing! What an adventure, I felt like I was right there going through everything that sage went through. I felt so bad for her,and all the pain she went through. For while there I thought ax wasn’t gonna get his head out his butt and finally tell sage how much he loved her, they both had so much heartache and guilt. Such a great book. They make an awesome couple!
I feel like I always say the same thing when reviewing RBs books but man the woman can tell a story! Was so excited to get Ax and Sages story and I was not disappointed! I highly recommend this series to everyone!
Wow, brilliant read. I loved the characters Ax and Sage from the previous books and was so happy that they got their own story, and boy what a story it is. This series just gets better and better. I love how this author gives guest appearance of characters from her other books, a fantastic read cannot wait for the next one.
Ax and Sage looked at their relationship from different perspectives but they both needed each other. They both have to overcome losing someone and with Sage and her daughter on the run but back with family.
I LOVE the Steele Raiders MC series and Destroy For Her did not disappoint. I was sucked in right from the start with Ax and Sage’s story. I could not put this book down. I loved it!
This was one story I couldn’t put down. Sage and Ax have become my two favorites of this series. Petal is so darn adorable that she stole the show. This story had the steam, drama, and suspense that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Plus hot, alpha bikers...yes please. Who needs sleep anyways?! Make sure you add this to your list because you do not want to miss out.
Sage and Ax's story is a highly addictive emotional read. Had a hard time putting it down. RB Hilliard really knows what she's doing to get her readers hooked. You can't go wrong with hot alpha bikers, drama, and suspense. Highly recommend this series.
Loving this biker family. The intensity the story is action packed. There were some hot steamy parts. What more could a girl ask for. I recommend Thu Is read to others.
♥️🌼Gimme Ax🌼♥️ I love RB Hilliard books. Her getting you hooked in the first few pages are the best, but, then she keeps you hooked until the very last page. Don’t plan on doing anything else once you open this book...♥️🌼 Ax is a hot biker (look at that cover), with the Steele Raiders MC, and he is up for VP. Sage is a widowed single mother trying to protect her child and survive a homicidal “husband”. Sage returns to the MC, beaten and bruised, for help and safety. Ax and Sage have a long history of love and friendship and more. They have loved each other for years, but their timing has always been off....until now..But there’s still the matter of her “husband”, the homicidal sociopath....♥️🌼 That’s all I’m telling you. Read the book. Destroy For Her will go on my TBRA list, and RB Hilliard remains one of my favorite authors..♥️🌼
This book has drama, emotion and will have you hooked, dont plan on doing anything else when you start to read this.
Sage left the MC after her husband died and she was frustrated with Ax (one of mc brothers) as he just would not recognise her or admit his feelings. So Sage fled to Mexico with Carlos expecting to start and a new life with her daughter, but things don't always turn out the way they should do. Sage is an awful predicament and has help to get herself away from Mexico but the only place to run to is Steele and his MC.
Ax has started to rebuild his life and with Sage's return, he questions everything. Can he continue to deny his feelings for Sage and Petal and how will he react to everything that has gone on in Sage's life since she left.
Absolutely gripping book and you will not be disappointed reading this
Hang on tight because this new steel raiders book is going to take you on an unbelievable ride. You will not see the twist and turns coming!! This is the third book in this series and hands down my favorite yet!! Ax and Sage’s story is a roller coaster ride but you won’t see the twist and turns. So hold on tight and enjoy the ride.
I was not expecting to be thrown right into Ax and Sage's story. Save has been through so much and as resilient as she is, she's also.self sacrificing. With each book I read, this series gets better and better. I'm excited to read more.
There are two things that can make me feel on top of the world regarding books. The first one is a book written by one of your favorite authors. And the second is that it's an MC book... Yep... Happy like a kid at a candy store. RB Hilliard made my day, months ago, when she announced that she was thinking about writing an MC series. And me being this greedy girl wanted to devour it in the exact second. Lol Now after 3 published books, I want more. See, greedy girl right here. Her writing is raw and wild, sweet and intense. You'll need to see for yourself. Destroy For Her is her latest release and it's the third book from the Steele Raiders MC. And what a series this has been. One side note, despite the fact that all books are standalone I advise you to read first Bleed For Her, then Die For Her and only then Destroy For Her. This new book explores the lives of Alex aka Ax and Sage. Ax is the read captain for the Steele Raiders MC, a job that he takes seriously. His loyalty is to the club and for the club. For years he has been watching for his fallen brother's wife and kid but he refuses to engage in his true feelings. Sage has been in love with Alex for a while now but the love is not reciprocated. After being denied for so long she decides that she needs to start her life again away from the club. OMG, this book was perfect in every way. The plot was appealing, strong, and very well written. Suspense lurked in the shadows and the need to know increased with every chapter that I've read. The characters worked perfectly despite being as stubborn as hell. Jeez... Stubborn much? There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone silly... But then, there were others that I couldn't stop the tears. Hot stuff is very present in this book, as well as crime and punishment. Love will get you no matter what. Perfect book RB Hilliard. Perfect in every way. What's next? Montana? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Destroy For Her was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Sage had such a rough marriage but she tried so hard to make it work, until he died. She grew close to Ax and had given him so many hints about her feelings. Tired of being rejected she decided to make a change for herself. She met a really nice man to take care of her and her daughter. So she thought……her dream turned into a nightmare when he got her to Mexico.
Months later she finds her and her daughter being whisked away in the middle of the night, heading back to the MC for protection. Ax tried to move forward but once he heard her name he knew he had to go with his brothers to get them. When he saw her...he saw red and wanted to kill someone.
They get them back to the MC and his protectiveness kicks in along with the other brothers in the MC. When they find out just who she was with they know it won’t be an easy fight. Will they be able to keep them safe? Will Ax and Sage finally give in to their feelings?
Overall this was a great read. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I loved Ax and Sage as well. I will warn that there are some scenes that could cause triggers for some. My heart broke for what Sage had to deal with. If you're looking for a great MC read this is the one for you. 1-click and get started today.
