Jameson
Nothing matters.
Nothing but my brothers and my club.
Those are the only two things in my life I give a damn about.
My ex made sure I’d never trust another woman and Celine is no exception.
Problem is... she doesn’t trust me either.
After being taken, groomed, and forced to be Thomas’ newest plaything I can understand why.
I saw her strength on the edge of a river, hands cuffed, in a ripped dress, as she fought for her life, and she hasn’t stopped fighting since.
My president has given the order to protect her until we get the threat under control, but that means I have to let Celine into the darkest parts of me.
What I wasn’t expecting was for her to make herself at home, and now I can’t let her go.

Loved It!!

Jameson was the VP of the Wings of Diablo MC and just happened to be in the right place at the right time for the drowning Celine. Celine had just escaped a mad man who had stolen her as his son’s birthday gift all because her boxer father owed Rene thousands of dollars.

Jameson had a thing with trusting because his ex-wife cheated on him while he was serving his country and Celine needed someone she could trust to stay out of Rene’s clutches. I loved watching the growing feelings between Jameson and Celine especially with all the backstory.

This was a fast paced MC book with steam, darkness, loyalty, love and family. I will definitely be following this series!!

Holy Hell, Jameson ,New Orleans Chapter (Wings of Diablo MC -NO, #1) by Rae B. Lake is a great start to this new addition to the WOD MC family. This story was raw, violent, suspenseful and full of passion and heartfelt emotion. Jameson is this larger than life strong VP of the WOD New Orleans Chapter, his life is his club and biker brotherhood. The club is dealing with threats from an evil man called Rene who is reeking havoc and trying to take over the clubs territory at any means. Jameson still struggles with the effects from his time in service and dealing with a crazy ex who is stilling trying to pursue him after she cheated and he ending the marriage. Monica just won't quit, in order to get away from her as he is about to explode, he goes on a run. Celine is this feisty sexy young woman whose father at 37 is a champion fighter, but is being bound by Rene due to his gambling debt. When he was told to take a fall in his recent underground fight, he is about to find out he was used and that the real debt would be Celine. Celine is taking, beaten and abused as Rene is giving her to his son Thomas as a birthday present. The events leading up to her being turned over to Thomas is violent and graphic. Her only chance is to escape when she learns her fate and what horrors Thomas does to the women given to him by his father. When she jumps off the ferry swimming to freedom, she is almost near her goal when she starts to drown. Jameson trying to get his head together after fighting with his ex, is by the dock when he sees something in the water, he rescues Celine and is about to get the wind knocked out of him. Celine is a fighter, and takes off until he finds her and takes her to the club for answers. The interaction between Celine and the men of the club at times is full of wit and grit when she knocks out Pirate out cold. Now she is under the protection of Jameson, when she informs Archer and the others what happened to her and the person responsible is the one person the club is after Rene. Now Celine will find out what it means to have the respect and protection from these bikers who are a true family. With all of the twists in this story full of suspense, violence and sorrow, the connection between Celine and Jameson at first is full of misunderstandings and battle of wits with undertones of sexual desire between them, one that Jameson never though he could feel again. Can Jameson tame this wildcat? And what happens when these two finally come together and Jameson will be in for a shock the first time they explore the desire between them which is hard, fast and full of steamy moments.

Now death and destruction is heading towards the club if Celine is not returned. You will be on edge, with an ending that was violent and gruesome when Celine goes to Rene in order to save her father and the men and women of the WOD that she has an emotional connection to. Celine takes action and leaves a note for Jameson and a clue for Daria . The rush to get to Celine in time and to end Rene's reign of destruction was violent, suspenseful with a loving rescue and brutal ending for some. Now as the club is coming back to normal and able to relax, Jameson and Celine are on their way to a passionate, feisty journey together, as the love between these two is hard fast and never boring. But as always trouble will be coming towards them. Could it be Rene is back? Can't wait for Yang's story. Rae, once again you have blown your readers away, never give up as you a a queen when writing about these badass bikers of the WOD MC and the women who bring them to their knees!

Interesting characters

It’s a good story but you do have to suspend a bit of reality in places if the story that just don’t seem feasible. The main character Jameson is good. The President Archer is an odd President, not completely alpha. Didn’t feel his power in how to take on Rene and his goonies. The lead female is strong but her decisions are questionable and frustrating. If the MC is on a lock-down how does the enemy get through the gate with two guards? How do you send out a brother solo, during a lock down? I keep reading things that didn’t fit the MC way, so it distracted from the story.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but every book Rae B. Lake has released is better than the one before. This one is no exception.

Jameson and Celine’s journey is raw, gritty, and full of drama. Filled with twist and turns that are intense and suspenseful! This book came alive and I felt as though I was living it.

Another 5 star read by Rae!!!

I have been finding new authors to read and I am so excited that I have been finding some good ones. This is the first book I have read by Rae B. Lake and I will definitely be going back and reading some of her other series. Especially since some of the characters in this series are from the Wings of Diablo series. This is the story of Jameson and Celine. James on is the VP of the NO chapter of the Wings. He does not trust anyone other than his brothers thanks to his ex-wife. He might seem like he is dark, dangerous and moody, but he does care about his family and will do anything to protect those he cares about. Celine is the daughter of a boxer who gets into some trouble with a bad man (Rene). Celine is a feisty, tough, strong and caring woman. She can hold her own and will give any man a run for his money.

My emotions were all over the place as I was reading this. The intensity and level that the author wrote about pulled at my heartstrings and I could feel what Celine and Jameson were feeling and going through. Neither one of them had an easy go of things and went through so much. Celine didn’t want anything happening to Jameson and his family because of her and of course Jameson would do anything to keep her protected. Great story with great characters. I cannot wait for the next book to come out and see what happens! Drama, action, passion, loyalty, betrayal, tragedy and lots of intensity!

What an exciting first read by a new to me author of a troupe I have grown to love. Jameson and Celine’s story is one of learning to trust after again after the hurt they have endured. Not to mention the action packed into such an amazing beginning of a new series.

"Fuck woman, where the hell did you come from"?" —Jameson

Jameson came home to every deployed individuals worst nightmare and lost all trust in women when catching his wife in bed with another man. That is until he saved Celine from drowning and sparks ignite again.

"Jameson, you know this isn't going to work if you don't trust me, right? I mean you are aware that I'm not going to cheat on you." —Celine

Celine was paying the prize for her father’s debt by being forced into an unwanted lifestyle. When she is saved from the water by a man that ignites something unusual inside of her, giving into her desire becomes more different by the day.

"I'm only going to say this shit once and if I ever hear anything fucking different, I'll rip your fucking eyes out of your skull, Celine is mine. Stay the fuck off her." —Jameson

Their connection was undeniably romantic, even with all the obstacles in their path. But, denying themselves becomes unbearable and their actions risks everything and everyone but boy was it a fun ride!

**This does have trigger of abuse**

So this book sucked me in really quick. So lets meet Jameson with the WDMC NO chapter. So here is where it is a bit interesting. Jameson does not trust women. Which all stems from how he found his ex wife. So he is very closed off but he does his job no question asked. So when he is checking up on a friend he stumbles across Celine. Now Celine is one tough chick at times and very timid at other. Now she is in a situation that no woman wants to be in. Well when Jameson lays eyes on her he gets this weird feeling inside his chest. So Jameson learns of her situation and the club decides that they are going to help her. However, the guy who took her is determined to destroy anyone who is in his way to get her back. Now this guy is ruthless. So how does Celine handle all this? She is a tough chick but can she handle everything that is happening or going to happen. Will Jameson see that she is a woman he can trust? How will all this end? This is an amazing start of a new series. I cannot wait to read more from this chapter.

3.5. A few plot errors but I really enjoyed it still.

Wow! Firstly this book has got a lot of violence in. I was cringing at times and crying at others. A good book should be able to move you and this definitely does. A few plot holes sadly, for example; At the beginning of the book Celine’s dad is in his 40’s and she’s 23. Later on he’s 37, making him 14 when she was born! A few spelling mistakes but nothing major.

Jameson finds Celine drowning in the river, with her hands tied behind her back. Celine was taken by an evil man as a present for his sons birthday. When she finds out how sadistic Thomas is she jumps off the boat to get away but nearly drowns. Jameson is the Vice President of an Mc, when he takes Celine back to the club to protect her, Thomas and his dad Réné declare war on them. Jameson and Celine are starting to fall in love when dangerous things start happening to the club and Celine has to make a terrible decision.

I’ve got to say that I really enjoyed it. There are a few niggles, Celine doesn’t tell Jameson that she’s a virgin, and you can guess what happens…

Jameson: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel is the first in the series. What a man he is, indeed! Jameson is VP of the Wings of Diablo NOLA MC and not someone that you want to mess with. However, he is totally the kind of man one might find as the focus of certain types of erotic dreams. Celine is a true badass who can handle herself in just about any situation, except the one her father puts them in. Jameson is certainly the hero she needs, and Celine becomes his savior. With characters that we know from other Wings of Diablo MC novels, Jameson is an action-packed page-turning story that you will not want to put down. The storyline is gritty, shocking, suspenseful, and intense with an unapologetically MC kind of drama.

The loyalty of these brothers to one another and their MC family adds to the intensity of the drama and makes their world almost something to envy. The next book in the series, Yang, has much to live up to!

Rae B. Lake is a master at what she does, and that is to write fabulous books.

Jameson and Celine are two great characters. In this book of The Wings of Diablo, we see old and new members alike. Jameson is the VP or the New Orleans Chapter of the Wings. He is very loyal to his brothers in this MC club and would back them to his death and that includes their wives and families. His ex wife is part of that family but he doesn't want to be with her but she can't seem to understand that. His ex has caused him to loose all trust in women until he finds Celine one night thrashing in the river with her hands tied. Not sure what has happened to her, he takes her back to the clubhouse to hear her story. From there the club as a whole decide to protect her. Things go from bad to worse for the club and Celine but the good that comes out of it is that Jameson has found that he can trust again. Check out a copy of Jameson today, I highly recommend it.

Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some "oh no" "oh wow" " what the what" moments and add in uncanny mishaps, and shenanigans the good kind that makes you keep turning the pages till last page has been turned. The Wings of Diablo have stepped on some peoples toes in New Orleans and some of those in power position do not like this at all. Jameson use to be the VP for Wings of Diablo MC who happens to be in the right place to save Celine who is running from a man who stole her for his son’s birthday gift you see her dad a boxer owed him money and he thought she can pay it back with her body. Jameson has trust issues considering his ex-cheated him while he was serving in the military, but he put that aside for a moment to help protect her. Their path is full of drama, twist & turns and some suspenseful will they actually get a HEA?

Betrayal has hurt him before, now he needs to figure out if he can trust this woman he found in river.

He finds out they have a common enemy and he's vowed to protect her and keep her safe, but are his reasons due to their common enemy or something else that is brewing between them.

She escaped a mad man and his crew, now she's in the clutches of the Wings of Diablo MC. Can she trust these men or are they just as bad as the men she escaped? Jameson seems to be an honest, loyal man, but can she trust her instincts?

I really liked this start to the New Orleans chapter of the Wings of Diablo. The characters are rough, gritty, and loyal to their club, but they are also fair, protective and possessive. Jameson and Celine find common ground in destroying their enemy, but also in moving forward after they have been betrayed by someone. I like the characters and the story in this book and I look forward to reading more of the New Orleans Chapter series.

Phenomenal way to start off this new WOD chapter! It caught me at the beginning and never let me go until I had read the last word! Celine and Jameson kept me glued to my kindle! Their story took me on a turbulent ride of emotions. My emotions were intense! I was happy, sad, mad and everything in between. That is the author's mastery with words. You can not help but be drawn to them. Their story is not easy to read at certain points but Ms. Lake doesn't shy away from tough subjects. She lays it out for her characters and what she sees for their story. The descriptions, scenery,events and emotions she puts in her books is what makes it all come alive as you read. It is not for the faint of heart but worth every second of reading! Check it out! I can not wait for the next book!

Jameson is Book 1 in the Wings of Diablo MC series and damn what a start to a new series.
Jameson is the Wings of Diablo NOLA MC VP and lets be honest he is a serious don't mess with me and what's mine alpha.
Jameson is in the right place at the right time and ends up rescuing Celine. Or did he simply assist? because Celine is a serious a strong and sassy badass woman.
I loved both of these characters individually and for each other. The chemistry between them was instantaneous and sizzled.
But....
The journey they travel before reaching some kind of MC HEA is at times intense, action-packed, drama-filled, twisted, a little shocking, and edge of your seat suspenseful.
I definitely devoured this story and can't wait to jump into Book 2.

Does contain TRIGGERS!!!

There is potential in the story but writing needs improvement. Book needs editing as well. I love MC books but unfortunately it’s quite hard to find good ones where you get the brotherhood as well as the love story. This one was lacking at a lot of places. I knew it would be fast paced as it is short but still it wasn’t filled well on certain places. I didn’t feel we saw enough of Celine and her skills being used. MC are all ex military, that wasn’t explored enough as well it was more like watching amateurs at places. The relationship between Jam and Celine developed nicely however there was lot to be desired as the whole book in general. At the moment I won’t be continuing the series

Jameson

The first book in the New Orleans chapter and I really enjoyed it.

The author did a great job of building up the members of the club without it detracting from the storyline which was full of twists and turns and danger too. Sacrificing so much for one person but is it all worth it in the end?

I loved that Celine wasn’t some weakling woman and was ready to throw punches and fight for her man and his biker family even if he did just want to protect her.

Jameson is possessive, primal, caring and whilst he has a gruff exterior he’s incredibly sweet too. They make a great match.

Whilst the story does have some spice it’s predominantly story line based but the passion, flirting and sexual tension are there to keep the readers interest piqued

The Wings of Diablo have taken over New Orleans in a big way , and some people are not happy about it. They have mad the local big wig mad as hell, a typical day in the life of.
They are trying to stay under the radar of people as much as possible, but not always allowed.
When James son rescues a drowning woman, Celine, he doesn’t realize that she’s going to change his life and be the catalyst of their war.
The men all fight for their freedom and their women, plus for the place in the world and New Orleans. They each find the loves of their lives. Jameson is going to be any different, he just needs to learn to trust his instincts and his heart.

To Jameson the club and his brothers are all he needs and all he will trust, when he saves a drowning Celine the peaceful take over of new Orleans is about to explode. Celine was used to pay her father debts when she manages to escape but ends up in the arms of Jameson, the two connect instantly but troubles heading there way big time can Jameson keep Celine safe? will they learn to trust each other? this is well written in the classic Rae B. Lake style with action, drama, suspense, hot scenes, desires and more!

Great book

They are all fighters wether in the ring or as a Brotherhood of bikers, even the men that run the underground fighting ring adhere to the same rules, they fight . Her father fights to keep her freedom, she fights to retain herself, and the biker that finds her fights for her love. The sickos that claimed her are willing to fight and tear down an MC to get her back. Expect more than the norm with this book, men willing to kill to get her back, Brothers willing to do what is necessary to keep her, and being a fighter herself she more than willing to go the extra mile to same family, the brothers of the MC included, well worth your time to read.

Rae has hit another home run with this book. Jameson is the first book in a new series. In this book Jameson is the VP of the Wings of Diablo New Orleans chapter. Jameson saves a woman from drowning and the club takes her under their wing. Jameson is tasked with keeping her safe and watching over her. Despite her circumstances she us a spitfire and does not take anything from anyone. They fight all the time, however, eventually they wear each other down and start having feelings for each other. This was action packed throughout. Great start to a new series.

This is one incredible written story! The chemistry between Jameson and Celine is explosive to say the least. It will make you cringe with excitement and then warm you because you feel what these two characters feel for the other! If you want thrills and chills then grab this book up it will definitely provide that and more! With this being the first book it sets up this MC as a force to be reckoned with and introduces many characters whom I hope to see in their own books in the future. Very well done Miss Lake! Very well done!

The Wings of Diablo MC have moved into New Orleans and alot of people don't want them there. Jameson is the club's VP and end while out riding his bike he rescues a drowning woman Celine. Now Celine had escaped after being taken by a lunatic for a debt owed by her father. Jameson has trust issues steming back to his cheating ex. I love the growing relationship of Jameson and Celine, they have unbelievable chemistry. This book is full of action and drama and I am anxiously awaiting more of this chapter of the Wings of Diablo.

Celine was a heck of a fighter

Jameson fell for her fast. This author surprises you in every book of this series. Sometimes I don’t like it but it’s like a car accident you just can’t help but looking. She introduces you to characters but she can take them away and sometimes horribly. But you are so engaged you have to finish each story. Jameson’s story was no different. Celine stayed strong and did all she could to help. And she did help. They are not finished with Rene yet but I want him to get his. I really want to see that. So hard to tell you about this story and others so don’t miss reading this entire series

This was….. Idk what this was lol. It was a great idea but poorly executed. I wondered at times if English was this authors first language or if this book was printed in a different language and translated. Lots of issues with the basics like switching from past to present tense mid sentence and even a few misuses of there, their and they’re and your and you’re. Cringe.

The spice was spicing and worth the wait but the conclusion was like all of the last three chapters and that was too fast and disappointing. Can’t say I’ll read more of the series unless I’m looking for a quick sit down read.

The Wings of Diablo has taken over NOLA in a BIG way! And it seems that Jameson just may have found trouble, trouble that he wants to keep. After being taken as payment for a debt owed by her father, Celine decides to fight back and ends up being found by Jameson. Rene', the man who took her, doesn't take it well and he's determined to make them pay. This Chapter of the Wings definitely did not disappoint and you can believe that New Orleans will not be the same. Rae B Lake has given us book 1 of the newest Chapter of the Wings of Diablo in the best way possible.

This mc club story about celine and jameson is not bad if you do not mind a lot of swearing, violence and some adult content. The thing about this story I like is the brotherhood and that they treat their members and those close to them like family. I do think the characters and some of the side stories might make more sense if one reads the wings of diable orriginal stories first before this new orleans chapter of th mc, but regardles of all that I enjoyed the story of celine and jameson.
