‘Bound not by blood but loyalty.
We live, we ride, and we die
by our own laws’


I’m a different breed of Dirty Soul. I’m no team player, and I sure as hell ain’t ever worried about fitting in. For as long as I can remember vengeance has been my only motivation.

Now I’m closer than ever, and the man who took everything from me is gonna pay with his life.

For years I’ve ridden nomad, kept my head low and got the job done. I never ask questions.
I never care...
Until Grace.

The clever mouthed brat makes me question everything I was sure of, she’s an inconvenience, a distraction and a curse

So why is every instinct inside me, telling me I need to protect her?

Emma Creed is quickly becoming one of my favourite MC romance authors! This series has yet to disappoint me. We met Brax in the previous book in this series. He’s a nomad biker who’s considering settling down at this club, so he can be closer to his brother. The prez sends him to abduct and protect a rich woman named Grace. He’s given no information about how or why, and when he meets her, sparks fly.
The author never fails with delivering a compelling plot and a gradual and realistic love story. The book has its own standalone plot, but the novel is continuing to deal with the overarching plot of their rivalry with another MC that is far darker and more twisted than they are, and they’re still dealing with the betrayal of one of their members.
As if this book wasn’t already amazing, we also get a chapter each from the points of view of Jessie and Nyx--the heroes from the two previous books. These scenes simultaneously moved the plot forward and added a little something extra that tugged on the heartstrings. Both gave me serious “awwww” moments, making me feel nostalgic for those books and those heroes’ love stories.
I love how the author teases at the plot of the next book with her epilogues, which is becoming a theme with this series. The epilogue is always written from the Prez’s point of view, and this time we can see that Grimm and Rogue are going to be the couple in the next book. Grimm is a real enigma and I love Rogue’s high energy, and I think they’ll be an interesting pair! I can’t wait for the next in the series to release!

Hot and heavy and sexy and completely un-put-down-able!! Everything I hoped for in book 3 of the Dirty Souls series by Emma Creed, she delivered… and then some! I loved getting into Brax’s head. He’s strong, smart, and he doesn’t let himself have feelings about anyone or anything, except revenge. Revenge on the man who turned his life upside down when he was a child. Enter Grace- his “job” for Prez. Keep her safe, until Prez contacts him again. But, of course, it’s never quite that easy. There are always complications, secrets, attempts on their lives, y’know… the usual.

Throughout this story, we are introduced to the demons in Brax’s head, as well as his motivation for complete and utter vengeance. Through Grace, we are given insight into a woman that will NOT go quietly, nor will she NOT get what she wants. The struggle back and forth (including some witty banter) really brings the reader along on this third installment, and even closer to the other characters in the series. We also get a peek again into Jessie’s and Nyx’s heads as well… prepare yourself.

If you’ve read Lost Soul (Book 1- Jessie’s story) and Reckless Soul (Book 2- Nyx’s story), I HIGHLY recommend diving into Vengeful Soul. Just be prepared for the book hangover!

Gahhh. Emma Creed has gone and done it again. I’ll say this every time - character series are not my thing, but Emma knocks these out of the park. The story continues from each book seamlessly & we still see the original characters from each of the previous books play active roles in the new books. Getting Jessie’s POV still into book 3 is probably my favorite. Emma understands are need to hold onto him and we see him throughout every book since Lost Soul. One scene in particular was exactly what my heart needed- if ya know you know.

I absolutely LOVE Brax & “Gracie”! Gracie is sassy, feisty, and playful. Brax is bruiting and sexy AF! He’s hands down my favorite Soul (second to Jessie of course!). Their chemistry is instant no matter how hard Brax fights it. His character growth in particular was so beautifully done. I sometimes feel character growth is rushed in stand-alone but this was not the case for Brax. It was gradual and just perfection. I loved the ending of this book & cannot wait to get to know the next Soul!

Ugh!!! Emma Creed does it again with all the big feels! Another freakin’ fantastic read in a freakin FANTASTIC series. Vengeful Soul is the 3rd book in the Dirty Souls MC series. I would not suggest trying to read it as a standalone, despite the couples’ story arc completing within the book, there is tons of pertinent backstory in the previous books. It’s written in first person, from multiple perspectives, but primarily from Brax and Gracie’s.

“Hate. Vengeance and pain, that’s what keeps me moving forward, it feeds my strength and keeps the blood pumping into my veins. It’s the core of my existence. I don’t know who I am without it, because I’ve forgotten how it feels not to be angry at the world."

Ultimately, Vengeful Soul is a story about Brax and his journey to reclaim his heart and soul he lost 20 years earlier with the death of his mother. He had been living with no room in his heart for anyone - not his brother, not a woman - only hate and vengeance. Caring for someone would be a weakness that he can’t accept. He doesn’t believe he’s deserving of being loved and doesn’t understand why Gracie wants him. He has a hard time letting go and it has him waffling back and forth between his need for vengeance, his feelings for Gracie, and then guilt/anger for thinking about letting his feelings get in the way of what he feels like needs to be done.

“Brax needs to find the good in himself before he takes anyone’s word for it. And that’s the hear heartbreak in all of this. Because he’s so convinced it isn’t there, that he refuses to look for it."

Vengeful Soul is beautifully written and packed with tons of action and suspense. A true page turner that had me glued from beginning to end. This is an opposite attracts story. Brax is a nomad biker who grew up with the hardest of lives. Gracie has grown up in upper middle class privilege and has been taken care of her entire life. They shouldn’t work, but they do. Grace is very go with the flow, but with some spunkiness to her. Lighthearted. Brax is the opposite: driven, serious, and living in darkness. The chemistry between them is off the chain right from the start and the smexy times are 🔥🔥🔥. You will not be disappointed in this book or this series. Seriously, just one great read after another. I cannot WAIT to see where the Souls go next!!

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: Kidnapping/forced proximity
Angst: 😰😰😰
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Omg!!! Book 3 - this book is full of fun, laughter, vengeance, sex lots of it but it’s not solely about,. This book contains all the wonderful feeling that a relationship needs, the characters come out on the pages with so much power that you actually live it with them.
Brax and Gracie (as he calls her) meet under circumstances that she is not aware of, she has no idea why he was sent or what’s behind the situation. Brax only knows that Gracie is under the Lost Soul’s protection. He has no idea why.
The attraction between them is off the charts, they can’t live together they can’t live apart, not that Brax would allow it. There’s an attempt on Gracie life so now they are on the run and must find a place. In the meantime the attraction gets confusing and there’s no way out. There are some really good surprises which I can’t say 😂.
Emma is a star, her devotion and planning-on how to write a great book is top notch. You are amazing and I love these books. Thank you

And once again this talented author has produced another action-packed story that hooks you in from the beginning and holds your attention until the very last word. Even then you crave more, wanting the next book!

Brax has been such a great surprise character for me; in two ways. The first he surprised me in book two, Reckless Soul, by not being the baddie like I thought he might have been. Yes, I will admit I was very suspicious of this nomad and didn’t trust him but fortunately he proved me wrong. And secondly in this book, when he revealed his connection to not only his brother, Nyx, but also more in the club. I know how his character comes across, and yes, he is hot-headed, aggressive and dark but he is a lot more.

Grace has a lot of spunk, the more the story progresses the more sass she throws out and confidence too. I really like her and admire how she handles each situation she ends up in—and there are quite a few! I think she is the perfect balance for Brax and they are certainly physically compatible with their ignitable chemistry.

The underlying problem, and the reason behind Grace needing to be protected, is horrific and creates some hair-raising scenes with plenty of action and drama to get the old adrenaline pumping. There really isn’t a dull moment throughout the entire book and although I had some suspicions about a character it still took me by surprise because of the way things were executed, very cleverly done.

I have to admit that in all of the romance, mystery and suspense there is a fantastic sense of humour, from throwaway one-lines and fun banter between characters to straight up humorous scenes that have you laughing out loud. The story is predominantly dark but this lighter side balances things well.

Hate is powerful

Brax one focus was to avenge is mother's death. Even to the point in cutting his brother out of his life but not fully.
Then comes Gracie. Brax was told to take her and protect.

The author shows us the struggle Brax has coming to terms with the people in his life especially Gracie.

When Gracie is in trouble once again Brax takes off losing his opportunity to kill Chops.

After some deep soul searching Brax finally realizes he can love Gracie, his brother that he was worthy. All through the book the author shows the readers that Brax is valuable in regards to his hate.Gracie is right by his side when that realization happens

I struggled with this one. Both Brax and Grace had no personality. I was very bored. They had nothing to latch onto and root for. Brax' hot and cold routine got old fast and Gracie showed no backbone, self preservation or self esteem - no real growth either. The most impactful parts of the books were with Jessie and Hayley, the wedding and other times the other characters were in the scenes.

Grim and Rogue do intrigue me though so I'll pick up the next book.

I didn’t want this book to end. It was phenomenal!
This series just keeps getting better and better. It’s definitely one of my favourite book finds for this year.

Brax’s story was an emotional rollercoaster ride with so many twists and turns. It was full of suspense, action and jaw dropping moments. It was one hell of ride!

RIVETING!!!
Emma Creed is a phenomenal author whose words I can't help but devour. Her writing style is passionate and her characters are intense. Vengeful Soul is book three in the Dirty Souls MC series. It's a riveting story, one I couldn't put down, and yet I never wanted it to end. Emma's good like that. She draws you in from the very beginning. You can't help but become captivated by her words. This is one series you can't miss.

Vengeful Soul is book 3 in the Dirty Souls MC series. I can honestly say I cant pick a fave character in this series. Each time Emma releases a new book I get hit with a new set of feels that I didn't get from the previous books.

With Brax I felt alot of empathy for what he had to go through in his childhood, he struggles to let it all go and chooses to hold onto the hate. Then he meets Gracie and everything he thought he couldn't have seems like it's getting closer the more time he spends with her.

"I don't care about people, and I don't know how to fucking handle it"

This line was so raw and emotional, it slayed me. You did good Emma.

I have given every book so far in this series a 5 star. If you're looking for a new MC series to read them look no further.

My soul doesn’t seek the love of a woman, it lusts for vengeance, and it craves destruction.

Only a child and filled with so much hate that twists and festers overtime.

A boy who was forced to grow up far too soon for the cruel world that surrounds him.

The restless man out for blood…

Braxton Marshall has stuck around with the Dirty Souls MC and could be close to becoming a member, he’s been working with the souls for a while now...but with a secret for his main reason why. And, that reason has escaped him again, but knowing it’s his best shot at finding more answers and going along for the ride with his brothers Braxton has stayed with the Dirty Souls.

Always lying in wait...seeking to stain his hands with the blood of the man who ripped away those he held dearly to him.

The girl should know better, there ain’t no way she’s getting away for me. Many have tried, may have failed, and those rarely live to tell the tale.

A job from Prez though sees Brax about to be pushed to his limits and tests more than just his patience. Brax is thrown into the deep end and comes face to face with his biggest task yet...Grace Scott.

A temptress with a sassy attitude and stubborn bratty princess, Brax is gonna need to keep his wits about him and refuse Grace at every attempt to let his guard down.

“You’re bad news for a man like me, Gracie.”

“Don’t make me stop.”


But...those restraints only need to snap...

If I ever give in and fuck this girl, you can guarantee it’ll be on my terms...not hers.

I don’t know whether to start fearing or become excited when Prez asks one of his members into church alone...because you just know that all hell is about to break loose and you're not ready for the next heartbreak of a story.

I loved this story!! Soo soo much!!!!

Finding out more about Brax and how his personal story was linked to the main series was a jaw drop...but made complete sense and straight away you knew that shit was about to go down. As it turns out Brax has soo many issues, that will either make you feel for him as he creeps his way into your heart….or you will want to bang his head against the wall to try making him see sense.

Grace!! Oh hell yessssss!!! Very strong confident character that meets Brax hit for hit and knows what she wants...even in her predicament! The princess with a bite who won’t be pushed aside and will challenge Brax at every opportunity...I loved this pairing.

Gracie Scott is a blessing and a curse all at once. And a man like me can’t have a weakness like her.

Full of sexual tension and full of bittersweet love that all of these characters have for each other...even those with the blackest of hearts!

I’m Brax-fucking-Marshall, I’m incapable of caring about anyone.

I’m also fucking lying to myself.


A family secret that was taken to the grave...is about to be uncovered and come back to haunt those closest to the truth...or just caught in the crossfire...

*****5 Brax Stars*****
This series is easily one my favorite each book gets better and better. Brax’s surprised me in Reckless soul; I will admit I was very suspicious of the nomad but he proved me wrong. Grace is alone for the first time and isn't sure what she's going to do. But when Brax show’s up her world is turned upside down; she learns that the threats Brax’s speak of are very real. Grace puts her trust in Brax’s to protect her. Brax’s past is has a strong hold on him and it makes him struggle with the people in his life and now Grace. When secretes get reviled can Grace survive the blow? Can Brax let go of the past for his future? I CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE!!

Brax has been a nomad for years, on his own for years, but now he has more than one reason to stay in one place. His prez has a job for him, but he’s not giving him a lot of information on it. He has too many questions but won’t get any other answers. He’s a loner, he has no desire to spend all of his time with some woman he doesn’t even know or know anything about. Brax has demons and vengeance in his soul. This assignment could be the deciding factor of whether he stays or hits the road.

She’s from a completely different life than Brax. Grace has lost most of her family and is wondering how she’s going to move on. When she finds a strange man in her house, her day gets worse than it already was. She has a job, a house, and a fiance, but her parents are gone and the secrets that will come out now could destroy her more than losing her parents.

I love The Dirty Souls books. The men are Alphas but they are also vulnerable when it comes to the women that bring them to their knees. The way these guys meet the women they fall in love with is not a normal meeting scenario. The characters are so well created and rounded and the story lines are full of action, suspense, secrets, and some very sexy times. Grace and Brax have a lot to overcome as well as secrets that will be revealed that put them both in danger. Can Brax fight his demon and the need for vengeance to have the life he never thought was possible? There are a lot of secrets revealed in this book. The Dirty Souls will once again stand behind their brothers and protect all that they hold close to them. I enjoyed Grace and Brax’s story and look forward to more of The Dirty Souls MC series. I give this book a 5-star review.

This is the book I’ve been waiting for from this author. The characters (especially Brax) feel older, even though Grace is only 23, and the romance is just more mature feeling. I really liked that Brax fought against his attraction and feelings for Gracie. This wasn’t a situation of him seeing her and knowing immediately that she was his and that he wanted a future, marriage, etc. Insta-love storylines can be great, but they also can get old fast. Prez seems to be mellowing out more and more, and I love it. There wedding between Nyx and Ella was lovely. I loved how Brax and Grace “met,” and how sinister it appeared at first. Overall I’m just loving this series more and more.

Style: MC Romance
Story: 4/5
Enjoyment: 4/5
Dark Level: 1.5/5
Sexual Level: GOOD
Triggers: Yes
Violence: Yes
Male: Hot Head, Vengeful & Sexy
Series: Book 3

Kindle Unlimited: Yes



STORY:
I enjoyed the book for the third installment of this series. The anticipation was there, mixed with a bit of excitement. Brax is a nomad to the dirty souls. He seems grumpy, but he is just a man that’s not to be messed with. Apart from the main plot of the story, there is a secondary storyline relating to Brax’s past, and this is what feeds him and gives him the vengeful character that he is. Grace’s character is the last person that you would associate with an MC and this is what makes the hunted and captive roles that more exciting, especially when the lines get blurry.


SEXUAL CHEMISTRY:
The sex scenes were satisfactory, however, and this is just me in regard to my personal preference, some scenes I felt could be better. I blinked and felt like it was over.


SECONDARY CHARACTERS:
I personally do not recommend reading as a standalone. One of the best features of this series is how well the characters from past books are woven together into present books, and not just in a small way. Even with this being done, past characters do not take away from the main characters of the present book.

Prez - he has so many things going on and so many secrets. It’s fueling these storylines for each book. I love that the epilogue always ends with him, and I find myself eager to see who's next and what crazy task he will dish out next.

Jessie/Maddie and Nyx and Ella - are heavily present in the book, and they are from Lost Soul and Reckless Soul, book 1 and 2.

Rouge and Grimme - I got a taste of Rouge’s attitude and I am here for it. Their story will be next and this should be interesting.

“A” - I don’t want to say this character’s name to prevent any spoilers, but I am hoping with all fingers and toes cross that they will be getting their own story.



OVERALL
This 3rd installment was on the mild side of dark, however, the plot line and its content could be a trigger for some. The storyline was engaging, did not feel bored and I am growing a strong attachment to the characters with each book.


✰✰TRIGGERS:

****I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read. I based my book reviews on my preferences and what I like, and while these preferences may not be the same for others, I hope this review was still helpful.

5 addictive stars!!!
*ARC received in return for an honest review

WOW!! I freakin’ loved this book!!!

This series just gets better with each instalment.
If you’ve not yet read these books, and are a fan of Sons Of Anarchy, then you’re gonna want to read them. Trust me.
They’re dark, hard-core, ever-so HOT, and very, VERY addictive.

Emma Creed has placed herself, very firmly, on my top go-to authors whose books I 1-click the hell out of without reading the blurb first. Opening up one of her books is like opening up a can of Pringles - once you start, you can’t stop until you’re finished and this book was no exception.

Vengeful Soul is crammed packed with vengeance, violence, danger, excitement, volatile emotions and red-hot passion. The plot twists left me reeling and shouting out loud. I was on the edge of my seat throughout and felt emotionally drained when I reached the end. It certainly took me on a tense and explosive ride.

I flippin’ love Brax, he can put me through my paces any time!!
With each book I have a new favourite dirty-talking, hot, sexy biker. Right now Brax is my favourite but I know that will probably change with the next book.

I love a damaged soul and they don’t come more damaged than Brax. He’s mean, moody, dangerous and so, so hot! He was so full of hatred and vengeance that he’d become blinkered and refused to let anyone in, believing he wasn’t good enough for anyone. He was hellbent on finishing his mission and refused to be swayed...by anything or anyone.

Gracie was the perfect foil for Brax. She was feisty, hard-headed and got under his skin whether he liked it or not. She wasn't afraid to push his buttons. Perfect match.

I can't recommend Vengeful Soul highly enough and, as with the previous books in the series, it comes with trigger warnings. If you have any, then walk away. If not, jump on board for an explosive and hot ride!!

Brax is a different man than his brothers, blood or not. He doesn't love. Love shows weakness. Jessie and Nyx have something that they can lose. By staying fueled by hate and vengeance, Brax will never have to risk heartache.
The one time he did, 20 something years ago, was enough to know that it will never be worth repeating.

The way he thinks, the way he works, makes him the perfect person when Prez needs someone to hunt down Grace, take her & keep her hidden.

Grace lost her parents. She's alone for the first time and isn't sure what she's going to do. She has her fiance but her parents were everything and when her fiance isn't there when she needs him most, it makes her wonder about what's going on between them. Knowing that she needs to navigate this life without her parents, puts doubt in her mind.

Her world is rocked upside down once Brax shows up. Knowing that the threats he speaks are very real, she goes with him. Staying alive is her number one priority. When circumstances can't be avoided, she soon learns that the monster isn't the man who took her and things are nothing like they seemed.

They battle. Brax can't accept that Grace could want him. He can't accept that he can love her. It doesn't matter how much they crave each other, how much they need one another, he is set in his ways, that love is weakness.

The trials and tribulations that they go through take them through more than anyone should have to deal with. They push and pull and start the process all over again. They want so much but feel they can't have it. Their love grows even when they deny it's presence.

Everything that happened throughout the whole story keeps you invested and wanting more.

Brax is dark, gritty and someone people should stay far away from. Grace is everything he isn't. They're made for eachother.

"Gracie Scott is a blessing and a curse all at once. And a man like me can't have a weakness like her."

Oh Boy just when you think Emma Creed has handed you your perfect book boyfriend she drops another broody and damn sexy one in your lap that has you doubting everything.

Brax is a tortured man. Plagued by his heartbreaking past he has become a man filled with hatred, surrounded by darkness, and lusting for some blood filled revenge.
When given a job order from the club president he's uncomfortable and unhappy about it. While he knows it involves a female he was not expecting Gracie.
Damn I loved her. She's sassy, strong, sweet, and the best part is she has a backbone.
The chemistry between these two burns instantaneously. However, Brax not wanting a distraction or to lead Gracie into his darkness is determined to fight the pull. But with so much chemistry how long can he really fight it?

I absolutely loved these two and their growth both individually and together.
The banter between them and also club brothers had me laughing, the angst slayed my heart, the push and pull was like foreplay but also damn frustrating, I swooned during the sweet moments, and the action and suspense had me on the edge of my seat.

I love when Emma Creed gives us an extra character POV particularly from characters your heart refuses to let go of. And Jessie’s in this book 3 was a nope I don't need a tissue because I'm not crying you're crying moment for me. It ached but oh how I loved it!!
While I wasn't ready for this story to end the ending in its self was perfect.
And... the continuing storylines throughout this series has me invested, intrigued, and a Dirty Souls member for life.
I absolutely love this world and the characters Emma Creed has created and I can't wait for more.

not good, not great, just ehh

Ok honestly these books now starting to remind me of every MC book out there. This is Brax and grace book, so this did not flow well what would have pushed this book over the edge for me, if the author put a chapter in the last book of the prez meeting grace mother and having a conversation about protecting her daughter if shit hit the fan instead the author put chapters of Jessie that wasn’t needed. Especially the chapter she gave Jessie that should have been the prez chapter and his kill and him saying bye to his daughter would have been beautiful. My mate won’t tell me if Jessie have a chapter in all the books, I still hate this guy him and maddy still boring as hell.
Since I started reading the book I knew where it was going and who the bad guys were you knew what was going happen before it did the author put loads in her books but the execution was poorly. From the moment he took her from the house and was at a safe house with her, I was asking myself questions that these outlaw bikers should be asking and I’m think are these people criminals or what because no one is thinking like a criminals.

Because all the shit that happen wouldn’t if they were thinking and the whole I found a second list after we start asking ourselves theses questions that you should have ask from day one didn’t work for me. As a hacker anything that got a code or anything you want to break it, but no it after shit hit the fan you want to dip deeper really.
The back and forth with her hero and heroine was driving me crazy and I skipped some parts of it and she keep portray her heroine as weak. Dragging the books out with suff that don’t need to be on pages with a long explanation when you can have a short discussion and it sum up the same thing. Still haven’t found a couple I like.

The author posts a warning so please do not skip over.

Brax has been give a job that makes him uneasy. Grace has no idea what’s in store for her. This being told in the first person, Brax seems to be talking to himself where Grace seems to be talking to the reader – even when she appears that she’s talking to herself.

The author wrote some serious moments but I couldn’t help myself – I had to laugh. She created the perfect setup and there was no way that I could hold it in. We have two characters that couldn’t be more opposite. Brax should be a man to be feared but it was fun to watch what happens once Grace enters his world. Ms. Creed even found a way to get some of her previous characters into her storyline – some even had a voice here.

It’s hard to deny their connection. There’s an explosion of emotion and heat that pulls between them and all we can do is sit there and wait for the match to be lit. This series shows how creative our author is because she makes it very easy to get lost in the world of the Dirty Souls MC. She also creates a mystery that you wonder if it will ever get solved and hope that it doesn’t because it would mean that the book is coming to an end. I like that what you think you want can change almost in the blink of an eye. But I loved that the ending left me looking forward to when book four of the series comes out. I do hope that you will read beyond to see what she has written in the Acknowledgements.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Tropes: MC Gang, Captive/Captor, Opposites Attract, enemies to lovers (sort of)

Description: Brax is told by Prez to take Grace to a safe location and wait for a call for next steps. During their time together they try to figure out who is after her and why, and during this they fall for each other. But can they make it work since they are from two different worlds?

My thoughts: I liked this book a lot. Though I wanted to throttle both of them at points and say get it together. But the relationship they develop is solid and I enjoyed watching it to develop. Even though it is what I like to call an emotional slow burn (when they may have seggs and get with each other but emotionally they’re not ready for the feelings they have)

OM-OW/ Cheating: Yes, Grace during her time with Brax has a fiancé named Julian.

HEA/HFN: Yes though it more for a HFN at least at end of this book.

Hero: Loved Brax but OMG he needed to get stuff together. He was a good guy who did bad things but couldn’t see that there was any good in him and was all about vengeance to the detriment of relationships he was forming. And at times that got aggravating though still loved him.

Heroine: Could be annoying at times. I really liked her and I liked going through the journey of figuring out who was after her, but in a way she was a spoiled princess who always got everything she wanted and at some points in the books this frustratingly came out. But Grace was great for Brax and I think he was good for her too.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I had to take a few days after reading the book before writing my review. Emma Creed writes about such damaged people but she makes them human. Each couple has been my new fav and Brax and Gracie are now it.

Brax is a tormented soul. Love equals pain; the hate and need for vengeance drive him forward. He is a dark moody man who has walled off his heart, not believing he is capable or even worthy of love

Grace is an independent spirited woman and doesn't like that she needs to be protected. Brax is charged with doing that. I love that she isn't afraid to challenge Brax but knows she needs him and his protection. Their repartee is fun.

Vengeful Soul had me hooked immediately. The story is full of action and suspense rife with twists. It is a page turner that I didn't want to break away from. The books are dark and violent but not gratuitously. It might be over the top for some readers but it fits the men. The story had me feeling so many emotions and I was sad when this story ended. While I guess it could be a stand alone I definitely recommend reading the first two in order before starting this one. The history just keeps building and it really fills in a lot as to character motivation. By the end I was emotionally disturbed but I love books that challenge how I feel. Fabulous series with Vengeful Soul being the third and latest.

Brax and Grace’s story is amazing!!!

An horribly traumatic event in Brax’s childhood has scarred him tremendously. It fills him with hate and makes him crave revenge starting at such a young age and leading up to present day. He wants vengeance and he’s going to make sure he gets it. Then Prez gives him a job, an unorthodox one that starts to throw a wrench into his plans.

Grace has just suffered a big heartbreaking loss. As she’s trying to process and unwind, she finds herself being captured and taken by this handsome man with a permanent scowl and a bad attitude. She has no idea what he wants with her and it turns out, he has no idea why he was tasked to take her.

As they navigate through this mystery, they can feel their attraction to each other grow and Grace starts to see the side of Brax that he rarely lets show. While she’s more inclined to see where it takes them, Brax tries to keep her at an arm’s length. This story is so full of raw emotions: pain, grief, loss, extreme anger, self-doubt, learning to love and respect yourself and the beautiful true meaning of love, regardless of how messy it can sometimes be, especially when the person you love is trying to remain closed-off and unattached, when in reality is actually trying to avoid hurting anyone but the one person he’s looking for.

So far, this is my favorite story out of the Dirty Souls MC. Emma puts so much love, time and effort into her characters, while also showing how life can truly affect people as they live through life’s experiences: the good and the very bad. This book is incredible and I highly recommend Vengeful Soul and the Dirty Souls series!!!

The Dirty Soul’s Mc is back at it again doing what they do best: Protecting those who need it the most. In Vengeful Soul we get to meet Brax and Gracie, They are both from different Worlds but will soon be merging their lives into one big Curvy Road of deception, protection, romance, and much more.

Brax the Man you don't see coming until it's too late, A nomad looking for a home, all the while seeking Vengeance that should have been met out a long time ago. But all he has is time on his hands. What Brax doesn't realize is that his new mission will soon Flip his dark and lonely world on its head. Can Brax keep fighting the pull he feels down in the darkest part of him and keep the one saving Grace at arm's length or will he let his Vengeance win?

Gracie has always had it all, the perfect life or so she thought, her life will take a dark and twisted turn, one she had no clue about. Family secrets, a boyfriend who is not so boyfriend material, and a Badass nomad who will have her questioning everything she thought she knew. Can Gracie finally discover the truth that was hidden and live her life like it's meant to be lived or will she succumb to the darkness and let the light shine?

I Absolutely Love the Dirty Soul Mc series by Emma Creed, She is always adding new life and flair to the books in the series.

I'm so greedy with this series, it's never enough! Each book just keeps getting better. Each story expands on all the characters and overall plot, making this world and brotherhood bigger and more gripping and exciting.

Technically standalones with interconnecting characters and plot lines, starting at book 1 is best if you wanna read; providing background and insight.

This story centers around Brax. Book 2 ended with Brax getting an order from Prez to grab a girl and not get distracted by her.
Brax's personal rule of not harming woman stays at the front of his mind, he won't harm Grace but he will prevent her from running. Neither one understands the order for kidnapping and "protection" until a threat literally arrives at their door.

Having everything she's known get turned upside down, Grace begins to trust and lean on Brax. They know they can't be anything outside of their stress induced situation but that doesn't stop the feelings.

Brax gives Grace back to "her world", thinking it's for the best, realizing too late she may still be in danger; while he's trying to battle his own inner turmoil and outside drama effecting the club.

These two characters are so well matched with their sassy and stubborn attitudes. This was raw and gritty and I highly recommend it!
