He is a man with a checkered past. When he went off the grid before officially joining the club, he did things that no man could ever be proud of.
And now? Now he's the Sergeant in Arms of the Hell Hounds MC - a position he has been honed for. He wasn’t made to lead, but to protect his club? Now that he could do.
Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the sweet, graphic designer friend of Sadie Priest - Vivenne is pregnant after one passionate encounter with her. Only, Vivienne is not who she says she is, and now their club is at war because he sullied the Don’s princess.
But Ammo is not quite ready to walk away from his small, budding family - no matter how much he doesn’t deserve them, and Sadie would die for her friends. So, The Hell Hounds MC find themselves ready to burn the world down for Vivienne.
_
I couldn't pretend to be uninvolved anymore, and I was done sitting here as a pawn in my father's world. If I was going to survive this and get back to Ammo, then I needed to step up and handle the family business. My father was still the Head, but as his little girl, I was the neck - and I would turn his head, moving our people into whatever position they needed to be so that I could buy my freedom - even if that meant setting fire to old friendships and promises long forgotten.
Born and raised in South Africa, Erin thrived on stories and the art of story telling. A long stint in marketing saw her move across the world, settling in rural North Italy with her Husband, two children and a cat.
She now hones her craft of story telling in creating tales that she herself would want to read.
I'm a massive fan of Erin's writing and as usual she didn't disappoint. I devoured this, I've been eagerly waiting for Ammos story. A brilliant story and characters. Vee and Ammo were heavily featured in book 1 and their story is brought over from that. A dark, gritty storyline that will have you devouring the book.
𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 by Erin Mc Luckie Moya is the second book in the 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗖 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. The first book is 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗲 which is where our hero and heroine Ammo and Vivienne first meet. Although the couple first met in the prior book, 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 can be read as a standalone with no issues.
Our heroine Vivienne and hero Ammo met in Luxembourg when Ammo went to help Vivienne’s best friend Sadie. No one knew they had a quick fling. That is, until Vivienne “Vee” finds out she’s pregnant with Ammo’s baby. There are reasons aside from the obvious shock value as to why this is scary for Vee. Everyone knows Vee is a graphic designer, but what they 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 know is Vee is also a Mafia Princess. Her father is the Don of the Mafia and has no other heirs. In the Mafia world that means Vee would most likely be paired off with the next successor. Women aren’t seen as capable of ruling in the Mafia.
The next issue is that our hero Ammo, is part of the 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗖 who are direct enemies with the Italian Mafia’s business dealings. When Ammo finds out Vee is pregnant, he takes the news well and is willing to explore where the situation takes them. I loved how mature Vee and Ammo both were in their communication with each other. Ammo valued Vee’s opinion and took her needs into consideration which I respect a lot from a hero.
The steps they each take separately and together to forge the Mafia/MC union are messy and difficult. Sadie, from 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗲, is a large part of the plan to beat the enemy. It was nice seeing her grow in this book. It made me smile when Sadie and Cole were being all lovey with each other.
I enjoyed the second addition to the 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗖 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 and can’t wait to read future books in this series.
Major bonus at the end with the explanation glossary. I learned what a “cut” is and other interesting MC terms and definitions.
I am so grateful to have received an ARC and am leaving my review voluntarily.
LOVED this sequel to Catching Cole. It was steamy, it was spicy, and there was so much grit from the main characters.
Vee and Axel were so hot together, and the relationship between them really grew and strengthened as the plot went on. The drama was exciting, and the plot was unexpected.
Even if this trope ISN'T your thing, don't give up on it. I promise Erin will blow all of your expectations out of the water.
I liked this one better than the first, Axel is nothing like what I thought he would be, loved him and Vivienne together! She’s such a badass, but still feminine and likable to me. More of the things I loved about the MC from the first book, and getting to see Cole and Sadie together butting heads was a delight.
Vindictively Vicious by Erin Mc Luckie Writes is book 2 in the Hell Hounds MC series and it features Axel (Ammo) and Vivienne (Vee). These two characters were previously seen in Chasing Cole (Sadie and Cole’s story) and I loved that they got their own story!
I was eagerly waiting for this book and I loved it! Ammo is Sadie’s childhood friend and Hell Hounds MC’s sergeant in arms. When he visits Sadie in Luxembourg, Ammo and Vee meet and have a quick fling. That should be the end of their story only later Vee finds out she’s pregnant with Ammo’s baby. Their story seems simple enough right?
The problem is Vee is the only daughter to the Don of an Italian Mafia. Ammo and Vee’s relationship is complicated enough, but throw in the complex relationship the MC has with the Mafia and it’s only going to be harder to get a HEA.
Vee and Ammo’s relationship is one where both have had to grow and adapt to their new situation and impending conflict. Ammo was such an amazing hero. He was considerate, and I loved his interactions with Vee. Seeing Vee’s transformation in this book was also amazing. She’s strong, smart, and beautiful and truly the main part of this story as it was her past that reared its ugly head.
Overall, this was an addicting read I could not put down. I loved this romantic suspense and the characters so much! This book was so good and I can’t wait for book 3 in the Hell Hounds MC series!
Erin had made me a born-again fan of MC books. This series had everything that I love about these types of books...smoking hot men, strong women, steamy sex, and great storylines. Once I started reading this book, I could not stop reading. I recommend this series to other readers who enjoy MC books.
Vivienne aka Vee is no damsel in distress. She can take care of herself. She proves it to Axel's frustration and admiration. For this, I felt that Vee was evenly matched with Axel. She is just who he needs in his life and by his side. It was great to see Vee in action. She truly did stand out against this male testosterone story. Which I can count on Erin to always write strong female characters.
Holy Cannoli...get it? Vindictively Vicious is the perfect blend of Mafia, MC, and steam that I never knew I needed. Axel "Ammo" is alpha protective with demons and skeletons but understands that Vee is no wall flower and reading the start of their relationship is so much fun. VV kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and made me really want to punch the bad guy! Ugh he was so annoying. Epic ending, oh my god! I'm really looking forward to the next installment in this series!!!
Honestly MC and Mafia Romance was never really my cup of tea, but this series just might have converted me. It was hot, it was exciting, it was fun. Looking forward reading more from Erin.
Vindictively Vicious is the second book in the Hellhounds series. Note, I read the series out of order. They can be read as stand-alone, BUT I believe you get a lot more depth from the characters when you read the books in order: Catching Cole, Vindictively Vicious, and Lavishly Lawless. There was drama, violence, steam, and an incredible plot!
What else to say about Vindictively Vicious…First, I LOVE Vee. You first meet Vee in Catching Cole. Vee is best friends with Sadie. Vee is covered in tattoos, has dark hair, and usually wears bright red lipstick. She is equal parts confident and self-conscious all at once, both of her lives blending together. Right at the beginning of the book, we find out Vee is pregnant with Axel’s baby (club name Ammo). Naturally, you’d think this is a surprise but not a huge deal. However, this is NOT the case. We learn a TON about Vee’s hidden self. She has a history that is just as dark and deadly as the Hellhounds but not related to a MC.
I really enjoyed the relationship between Ammo and Vee. Ammo and Vee are both on a journey to become their badass selves. Their relationship grows throughout the story. Their love is strengthened through violence and secrets.
Even if the pregnancy trope isn’t your favorite, don’t give up on this book. There is SO MUCH MORE to Vindicely Vicious than the pregnancy. I recommend this book to anyone who loves dark romance, MC and mafia themes, detailed steamy scenes, and overall a fantastically written story!
Erin Mc Luckie Moya’s second book in her ‘Hell Hounds MC’ series is revving up the charts. This book is full of adventure, suspense and romance. Axel and Vee, the main characters, have an abundance of chemistry between them. Alex (street name Ammo), is a Sargent at Arms in a motorcycle club. Vee is the daughter of a mafia boss. Alex and Vee first met at her friend Sadie’s and had a one night stand. That one night stand has led the duo on an amazing adventure. You need to read this book to see what happens because the story is so riveting that you can’t put it down. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
If you enjoy MC, Mafia, and surprise pregnancy romance, this story is for you!!!
This story picks up where Catching Cole ended.
Ammo and Vee had a night together and surprise surprise….. baby on the way!! 🤣 They decided to give their relation a try and I thought to myself ‘that was too easy’.
I was not prepared for all that goes down. I was biting my nails (I know…. nasty habit) with every swipe of the screen. I freaking loved Vee’s character.
Quick question, how is Dante and IL CAPO? I’m kind of wondering about them.
And oh my gosh!!!!! I cannot wait for Layla’s story.
I received an ARC of this story and this is my voluntary review.
Vindictively Vicious is the second book in the Hell Hounds MC series and it’s revved up to be a good one. Who doesn’t love a good mafia or mc romance? Luckily for you this has both! It’s spicy, gritty, and oh so good.
Axel and Vee are Hot. Their chemistry is off the charts. After a one night stand, they get more then they bargained for when they get the surprise of a lifetime.
Well Damn!! This book is insanely good and it combines my two favourite things MC & Mafia. This has the right amount of action, drama & steam and this series is a MUST READ. And it ends on a little cliffhanger setting up for book three.
As most of you know, I’ve been binge-reading Erin’s books for quite a while now and each time I’m surprised by how much I love her writing and how addicted I am to the book. Vindictively Vicious was no exception. I stayed up way too late reading this book when I planned to read two chapters!
I was so ready to read this book after the ending of Catching Cole and my expectations were quite high. I can happily say that Vindictively Vicious lived up to my unreasonably high expectations.
Vindictively Vicious (Hell Hounds MC Series 2) - Erin Mc Luckie Moya
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
::: SPOILER-FREE REVIEW :::
Rating: 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm a major Erin fan and I would read anything this woman writes. She gets better and better with each book and I'm so happy I am part of her journey.💖
This is one of those reviews where I don't even know where to start. Reviewing, with words, a book that has rendered me speechless. It was so well written it hurt.
This is the second book in the Hell Hounds MC Series. I read the first book a while back and I loved it but this book!!!🤯
Holy Wow, just Wow! This book was amazing! We meet Vee and Ammo in the first book so I was waiting for their story.
This book had everything I could want in a book.
Engaging characters with great chemistry and sexual tension that jumped from the page. 🔥🔥
An AWESOME book boyfriend. 😉
Ammo 🤤🤤
And Vivienne . I liked her and I rooted for her. I wanted her to get her HEA. 💖
Ammo and Vivienne burnt up the pages together.
Ufff HOT 🔥🔥
Beautiful writing. A well developed plot line. With enough twists and turns to keep you invested. A dark, gritty storyline that will have you devouring the book. Amazing characters. Flaming desires.🔥
There were no down times, no slow spots, just amazing from page one until the end.
Now, I could write about this book all day long but instead I will say if you haven't read this (or the first book in the series😉) then I cannot recommend this enough!!
GO GET IT - RIGHT NOW!!! That's right, shouty capitals!! LOL
The book is hotter, darker and like the title vicious as hell. Vindictively Vicious brings the element of the Mafia in the MC environment developed by the author in the first book. The book is mostly based in a physical setting of a pub even as the reader is made privy to the political dynamics of the Mafia and the resulting power-hold in a city like London.
Erin Mc Luckie-Moya’s works are character driven. Her stories are dependent heavily on the situation and the decisions and plans of the characters. As a result, the geographical locations of the books are not very influential in the flow of the story.
Luxembourg, the place from where our heroines started out is almost like a starting point. Sadie and Vivienne, both are women with concealed strengths and past who come into their own personality over the course of their respective books. Even as they shift to their power thrones, a reader has been imprinted with the knowledge that the heroines had a past that would not be handled well by just anyone.
We already have the beginning of the third book of the Hell Hounds MC through the prologue of Vindictively Vicious. I have very contradictory thoughts about cliffhangers but Erin Mc Luckie-Moya’s works have a way of almost pacifying impatient readers like me. I will graciously wait for the next installment of the series.
"I needed someone who understood the damaged individual that I was. Maybe Vee - with her own sordid background - was just the kind of f'd-up that I needed, thrived on."
Erin Mc Luckie Moya is not your typical author. You can't box her in just one genre. Because chances are, you will be able to find something you enjoy reading from at least one of her books.
Vindictively Vicious is the second book from Moya's Hell Hounds MC series. Vivenne and Ammo were introduced in Catching Cole, but it is unnecessary to read that first because Vindictively Vicious could be read as a standalone. However, I do recommend it for both background and enjoyment. It has character growth, strong female friendship, family, love, and independent women.
Realistically, Ammo and Vee shouldn't be together. They should be enemies, but they're not. Ammo is the Sergeant in Arms of the Hell Hounds MC, and Vee is the Mafia's princess. But they're bound together by a baby. I love Vee and Ammo's relationship. Each has a position of power. Yet, they don't see one more powerful than the other. Instead, they respect one another and view each other as equals. They understand that who they are as individuals are important and will be whom they are without changing themselves.
The foundation of Vee and Sadie's friendship was built on a lie. Vee never told Sadie about her heritage of being the Mafia's Princess. Yet Sadie didn't care because she loves Vee regardless. To her, they're not just friends but family. She would do anything for her. Sadie has grown into her role as Club Princess. Cole supports her and lets her be the leader she was always meant to be. I believe that strong female friendships should be prominent in today's media. Friendships are important, especially healthy ones. Women should support and be there for one another. It was nice seeing Sadie and Cole's growth from Catching Cole. Vee and Sadie are independent women, and their significant others know and respect that. They support them and help them grow into whom they were always meant to be.
November 17, 2021, can't come soon enough for Layla's story, Lavishly Lawless.
Vindictively Vicious by is book 2 in the Hell Hounds MC series & can be read as a stand alone. This story follows Axel & Vivienne. Axel is the Sergeant in Arms of his MC. He’s loyal, protective & has inner demos he struggles with. Vee is independent, self sufficient & hiding who she is from the people closest to her. When she ends up pregnant after one night with Axel, she comes clean about who she is, the daughter of the Mafia Don, the MC’s largest rival. From the start of this book I didn’t want to put this down. Erin draws you in to a story about opposites attracting & fighting for each other. In this story we get to see Vee step up & accept who she is & what that means. We see her fight not only for her freedom, but for her birthright. Once she decides what she wants she’s all in & nothing can stop her. We also see Axel open himself up to Vee & step in to a leadership roll he’s doubted he could ever do. With the help of their friends, Cole & Sadie (book 1) you see this couple fight for family & love. I really enjoy the feisty women Erin writes. Sure it’s nice to have a man to love & protect you, but it’s even better when a bada$$ woman can take care of herself! Axel & Vee are fire together!
Vee and Ammo shared one hot night a couple weeks ago… and now she’s pregnant. That in itself is already complicated enough, but it turns out that Vee is also a Serazzi, the daughter of the boss himself. Vee’s pregnancy is considered a slight, as the Hell Hounds and the Serazzi Mafia are sworn enemies. But Vee isn’t going down without a fight, and she wishes to prove that she herself can lead the Serazzi Mafia, with the support of the Hell Hounds. The child in her belly will be part of a new chapter for both the Serazzi Mafia and the Hell Hounds, because no way is Ammo letting Vee go now.
I was so excited for Ammo’s book, and Moya did not disappoint! I loved how almost effortlessly, Vee steps into the role of La Regina. And I love how Ammo takes nobody’s attitude and would literally start a war for his family. Their chemistry is pretty undeniable, and I love how their story plays out. This book was the perfect blend of MC and mafia, and had just the right amount of steam and angst. I cannot wait for Layla’s book!
Erin has once again stolen a piece of my heart with these two amazing characters and their story. The world wants to keep Axel and Vee apart, but they will do anything to stay together and protect their family. This book was sexy with lots of chemistry between these two that I could not get enough of. Vee is the type of female character I love to read about because she’s loud and unapologetic and will fight for what she wants… she’s a badass through and through and I greatly admire her strength and confidence. This story also very delicately discussed the dark side of addiction and I really admire the way it was written. Even when I wasn’t reading about this book, I was constantly thinking about it and itching to dive back between its pages. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next!
I was super excited to get an advanced reader copy in return for a non biased review and this didn’t disappoint. The is the second book in the MC Hell Hounds series by Erin Mc Luckie Moya and she wrote another cracker. So we met Axel and Vee in the previous book and I admit I much prefer to read the correct order of a series but Erins fab writing brings you up to speed fast and this could be read as a stand alone. This really is Vee’s book as she was a delight. She is kick ass, head strong, smart, beautiful and devious. Axel was great but it’s her journey and you will see what I mean when you read this and you must. If you like MC romance with hot bikers and their kick ass old ladies then this is for you. Add in plenty of exciting drama and a brilliant story you really can’t go wrong. Highly recommend this - 4.5/5 stars
Vindictively Vicious is book #2 in the Hell Hounds MC series.
If you read Catching Cole, you know that Vee and Axel (Ammo) had a hot hookup, and now Vee is pregnant. There are so many things against them, and they have to work for their happy ending, but the ride is so worth it.
Vee is the daughter of the Don of the Mafia and their biggest rival is the Hell Hounds MC that Axel is the Sergeant in Arms for. Plus, Lucio (Vees dad's 2nd) is a problem. He acts like he owns Vee.
I am so in love with this book and this whole series!! I love how hard Axel and Vee fight for each other, and I love seeing more of Cole and Sadie.
Erin always writes FMC with so much strength and hot, swoonworthy guys I swear!
The Hell Hounds MC series is incredible and is a must read series!!!
INTENSE & ADDICTING!!! Vivienne (Vee) Serazzi is a mafia princess. She is sheer venom. A wild, strong, smart, mouthy, fierce woman and my favorite kind of heroine. Then there is Axel (Ammo) the rough, sexy, full-on alpha male biker who is loyal to his club and his woman.Together they have a fiery chemistry that felt real. The intimacy was hot and also harmonic, never overdone or unbelievable, as was the entire story. It was written beautifully, realistically, and so were the beliefs and freedoms these two fought for. The author knows how to entertain her audience and this book is a full five star, must read for any MC lovers out there.
This book is absolutely awesome! Not only did this book level up the series with a crazy takeover, but it was everything I wanted in a book! It was emotional, it was suspenseful, it was gritty, and sexy! Vee is one crazy girl but she knows what she needs to do and gets it done. I loved her determination and bravery in such a difficult situation! I cannot wait for the next book to see where our characters end up next.
Axel and Viv’s story is absolutely action packed from the get go.
Axel is the Sargent at Arms for the Hell Hounds MC , Vivienne is the principessa of the Serazzi Mafia family, Together they are unstoppable.
After getting pregnant during one night stand, Axel and Viv come together in an explosive way, they have to fight, scheme and outwit the forces trying to keep them apart.
La Regina is back to take her rightful place as Queen with her King at her side.
I can't tell you how much I love this series by Erin Mc Luckie Moya; it has everything you want from an MC series and more. This second book follows Axel and Vee, who we met in the first one. Here we get to see their relationship explode on the page as Vee comes all the way to London to give Axel some news then gets embroiled in her family business which she has tried hard to stay out of. There is a nice mix of Mafia and MC going on in this one and plenty of steam to keep everyone happy. I loved these two together and cannot wait for the next one.
Amazing story. With situations that I couldn't believe, it took me by surprise but in a good way. Steam, yet sweet and wicked with the perfect amount of action. We got to know this couple deeper and it was totally worth it, definitely an amazing job done by Erin. Can wait to see what else she brings to the table.
I ABSOLUTELY loved this book! I read Catching Cole (first book) and could not wait for this book to come out! It is spicy and has so much steam as well.
It is a well-written book. Erin did an amazing job writing this book.
If you enjoy MC books then this and Catching Cole are the books for you! Absolutely enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.
