Nameless.

That’s what I was for all of my life. I didn’t have anything that was mine. Determined to change that, I started working and saving the minute I was old enough. When it is finally my time to make my dreams come true, to have something that is mine, I am hit with a roadblock again.

Hunting for answers, I find more than I ever bargained for.

I find her.

Together, we create a world that I never thought I would ever get to have. She shows me that I can have it all as long as I have her.

But her past catches up to us and brings in players I never would have associated with on my own. Showing me just how twisted this world is. We make a deal. Her freedom for my service.

When my best friend mentions a club, I thought he was joking. But an MC is what we need. What this town needs and when you make a deal with the devil, it’s what you need to make sure you survive.

I found what I was looking for and gained even more. The town of Wyman also gained something – the Nameless Order MC.

I will use this club to do the dirty work but, I will also use it for so much more. Protecting those who are currently what I was, nameless.

After sharing our work with each other, we learned we have the same writing style, and decided to come together for a whole new story.

Four years later, we continue our writing journey together. We have multiple storylines in the works, and can't wait to see all those words hit the paper.

We're a duo who have only meant once in real life, but have found our best friend within each other.

I want to start by saying I heard about Judge and read a few things but read "It Started with A Look" first.

I was immediately in love with the characters and couldn't put it down. I loved seeing the novella and getting a background on Ken, aka Judge then reading his story.

The story flowed nicely and I really liked getting glimpses of the past and what drove these men to create what they did. Elvira is a strong, bad@$$ mama. I loved seeing her get to be vulnerable and likewise enjoyed seeing Ken let down his guard and love the people in his life.

The plot does go back and forth between a 15 yr time span. Personally I thought this worked well. It gave glimpses of what was important and how they got to their present. I didn't feel a disconnect or that it was choppy.

El and Ken/Judge are perfect and I can't wait to see more of them as they help shape the future of the Nameless Order MC.

An amazing, well written introduction to a new series.

Well what can I say???? This is book 1of the Nameless Order MC series,and it is a phenomenal start! Kenneth (Judge) went through life thinking he wasn't wanted,he didn't have anything to fall back on...of course he had his best friend Theo,that was a given,but he always thought that something was missing.
A mysterious phone call altered everything for Judge,and with the help of Theo and a few others,his dream of not being "Nameless" anymore came into fruition,and he was able to build his club,businesses and the life he had wanted for as long as he could remember.
Elvira was a typical southern girl who wanted a happy ever after,the white picket fence, the whole shebang,and a chance encounter with the enigma that is Judge,her life changed for the better. The two of them together and how they grew as one,was stunning to read,and I honestly couldn't put the book down until I read every page....it pulled you from the beginning and never left until the words "The End" appeared. What I loved the most was it alternated between past and present so you were able to find out how the club grew and how all of the characters came together,it was a roller-coaster of emotions for me and I didn't want it to end!

For a debut book for two of the most wonderful people,the sky's the limit because this was phenomenal and it deserves way more than five stars!

After reading their debut novella I didn't know what to expect going in to their first full book, but they certainly didn't disappoint with size or content.
Yes some things weren't perfect/clear especially if you hadn't read the novella. But give the girls a break, this was a debut book written by two different people, and for that they should be applauded, as personally I think they did so well. They completely sucked me in and had so much packed in on book. They definitely started off this series with a bang and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
I highly recommend that you one click immediately as this was a wild ride that is only just beginning.

This is a great book. It switches from past to present with a breeze and you dont miss a thing. Judge was brought up rough. He was in foster homes and told himself he would do better. He got a surprising phone call and his life changed forever. Elvira is a single mom and is doing the best she can. During a spontaneous happenstance she was offered a job she couldn’t refuse. She ran on faith and believing she could do it.

This is the first full length novel from debut Author Michele Lee. 

Kenny has had a rough start.  Orphaned at a young age, placed into foster care, where he met Theo.  These two have stuck together throughout their lives and are more than friends,  they are each other's "ride or die" brother. 

When they decided to look for a permanent place to start a ranch, Kenny recieves news that someone has been looking for him for a long time.  He can't believe it when he discovers he has always had a family, and that he is now the owner of a generations owned ranch in Wyman, Colorado. This changes everything.

Planning to return the ranch to its former glory, he and Theo head into town for supplies.  There he meets the fiery Elvira, a down on her luck accountant, mother of 3 who he jumps to defend when her boss threatens her in front of others.  The flames are instantaneous, and not just Elvira's temper.  They make a deal; two weeks to help get the ranch books in order, and if things work out, she'd have a permanent job.

"Judge" also lays out the foundation of the Nameless Order MC; the reasons behind its inception, and introduces the major players of the series.  They're new order, and they are all in! They will fight for what is right, those who don't have a home, but need one.  It's a new beginning, and Kenneth 'Judge' Kelley will be its founding member. 

This book is the first of a brand new MC series.   The author pulls you in and doesn't release your heart until the end. The storyline jumps past to present and shows how far they've come and gives a glimpse of where the NOMC is headed.  You are in for a crazy, amazing, tearful, heartwrenching, ride!

This is the 1st in a new series and what a phenomenal start to a new series. This is not a typical MC story, but it is about two best friends who are the founding members of a new chapter. Ken / Judge and Theo are best friends and orphans who grew up in the foster system together. When they aged out of the system, Ken finds out he has a grandma, and what a brilliant character she is. Elvira is a struggling single mom to 3 children, and she is escaping an abusive ex. When Ken inherits a substantial amount of money, Ken, Theo, and Elvira buy the ranch and the Nameless Order MC is created, and they become foster parents to many children. Looking forward to reading Cowboy next.

Welcome to the world of Nameless Order.  This was the best introduction to a MC that I have read. 

The plot transitions from the present to 15 years ago, smoothly.  I couldn't imagine trying to read this in two sections of 15 years ago and Present. 

I fell more in love with each character as I was reading.   They feel like family.   Long lost cousins that you are getting to know, or your insta best friend.

I laughed!  I ugly cried hard! I thought WTF, Oh hell no, they didn't!  I yelled and wanted the toss my kindle.  But, I couldn't put it down.   I can't wait for more.

This isn't your typical MC story. Judge lays the background of the two founding members of the Nameless Souls MC. Ken said Theo were two orphans. Once out of the system Ken learns he has a grandmother Yaya. (Love that woman! She's hilarious!) He inherits a huge ranch and lots of money.
Elvira is a struggling, single mom of three. Her ex is an abusive douchebag.
Ken, Elvira and Theo not only run the ranch but are foster parents to many children. They also start an MC with allies, a cop and a Mafia man.
The story is entertaining and all about family and loyalty. Now that Ken/Judge has stepped down his son Cowboy is taking over as Prez.
Curious as to see how this series will go.

The first of the Nameless Order MC and we get all the nitty gritty details in how this MC came to be. Through a mix of flashback chapters and then back to the present, we learn all about how Ken/Judge grew up in foster care and only had his best friend to call family. Then out of the blue Ken learns that his family had been looking for him so he loads up and takes Theo along for the ride and the two start a new life where they could actually be a part of something. From there the journey turns into a roller coaster ride that has a reader hanging on to their seat. Filled with drama, danger, violence, a few heartbreaking moments, and some hot naughty bits, everything a good MC story needs. I do feel it was a bit choppy at times, and has a few editing errors but overall, it's a good read and I give this 4 stars.

To start, I received this as an ARC. So, it took me a bit to get into the book. I felt that there was a lot of information to remember right at the beginning, and at first, the transitions from past to present & back seemed disconnected. That improved pretty quickly. I LOVED all of the characters though. El is a fierce mother & I adored her for it. The way Ken/Judge loved her & the kids was amazing also. I also loved Sever & Butcher's bickering. All of their interactions had me laughing. Overall, I really liked the book. The only thing that really bothered me was how the MC was created. They just decided "hey, let's start an MC" and magically had a guy to help them do everything and that was that. I felt there was opportunity to flesh that part out a bit more and make it more realistic. But despite that, I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next one.

I did enjoy the story idea. There was a lot the authors put in there. I will be real in that it wasn’t a smooth read for me. At points I felt lost a bit.

I loved the characters and what they stood for and did as individuals and an MC. I think it had a nice bit of humor, steamy times, angst, action and a few tear jerking moments.

What a whirlwind of a debut ~ Janise's Jivin' Book Blog ~

Where to begin, I have so many things I can say about Judge by Michele Lee.... All good of course! There is no way this is their very first published book!! Also there is no way that two people wrote this book, If I did not know what I do, I would have never questioned the fact that Judge is written by two people and this is their very first published book.

It was such a good read I had to force myself to put my kindle down so I could get some rest on the first night I starting reading Judge.

Jude is the first book of the series Nameless Order, it can pull at your heart strings, Nameless Order MC is not like your typical MC. This MC is out to save as many kids/people as they can. They are not afraid to do what ever they need to to be able to help who ever they are trying to help. The men in the MC have there own quirks and I can not wait to read more of the series... I especially want to read Storms story.

I truly enjoyed the book, the book still left me with some questions, what is the time frame of when the book started and when it ended. The chapters where past and present but how many years between I was not able to follow that part. The part where Judge's step son being a part of the MC it took majority of the book before it came out who he is and was.

All in all it was a really good read, I would and have already recommended the book to other readers.

While the story was well written, I felt like the past and present weren’t flowing as well as they could have. Maybe separate them into a series and lead up to the present rather than have them both in the same story. The past as a story was well written as well as the present, but together they just felt disjointed.

I truly enjoyed this book and would never have known that this was a debut book for this author. The story may have gone back to past and back to present frequently but it still flowed. Which a lot of times it disrupts the flow of the story. I didn't find that happening in this one. Elvira is a woman and mother down on her luck but doesn't take crap from anyone. Ken and Theo are friends that grew up together in the foster care system with horrible foster parents. I loved how Ken and Elvira met and from the get go would do anything for her or her kids. I absolutely loved Yaya, she was fantastic. I loved all of the characters in this book and look forward to reading more about them.

Moving on

This book is amazing and so well written.
It has you feeling what all the characters are feeling throughout the entire book.
Can not wait for the next book in this series.
Maverick seems to have a lot on his plate as he is trying to move on from being in foster car and get the ranch he has always wanted in California.
His savings account has been frozen until he contacts a lawyer in Colorado about an inheritance that he needs to claim.
Elvira has had a hard life of her own trying to raise her 3 kids on her own and trying to keep her head above water while fighting for her sanity and her husband (soon to be ex).
Maverick gets the nickname Judge from Elvira because he does not judge people.
With his new family Yaya (his grandmother who he had no idea he even grandparents), he has big plans to help the citizens (especially the kids) of Wyman, CO.
He ends up getting a MC named Nameless Order to help protect the kids that have experienced abuse at the hands of the foster homes and any abusers.

I read an early review copy of this book for an honest review.

Judge & Elviria

He'd worked hard to reach his goal. Just when he was one step away, a huge block was in his way. His life in the system hadn't been easy. He has grown and out of it now--and the big block, well it just happened to include some things he never thought he'd have. It also led him to the woman who would give him even more than he ever dreamed. Along with this special woman, my friend through all of my painful youth, we started the club. Two men he'd never believed he'd meet let alone they'd form a partnership.

I loved the characters, their goals, and the caring for their town and the people. There is humor, emotions from touching to frightening, steam and more steam, a wonderful story melding the lives of the characters, and the bravery to deal with whatever life sends their way.

I just bought the next book and have the third on the way when it publishes soon.

Freaking Amazing Read... What can i say but WOW!!! Great beginning to a thrilling emotional ride, all i can say is buckle your seat belts and enjoy the ride. Ken & El's story was so emotionally gripping from the beginning till the end. True soul mates with gripping lives and heartbreaking beginnings.

Oh my goodness i so need Cowboy to so be out right now. These authors are a powerful duo once you read this book you will so get my meaning, They give you so many emotions such as love, hate, revenge, hurt, drama, pain and so many many more twist and turns. You absolutely will regret missing this one if you don't read this amazing new MC series loving me some Nameless Order MC men so very many different personalities and many levels of crazy.

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

This is a first read from this couple of authors and I can say I loved the ride. This isn't your typical MC read and it was quite refreshing. This book is more centered around family. I loved Yaya she cracked me up with her wooden spoon. I loved Judge and El they truly are the heart of this story and family. I can't wait to read Cowboy's book.

Judge and Elvira

Not a bad debut from this author team. I liked a lot and not picked a lot. It tries to come off as gritty without crossing any lines. I was confused why some deals were even made. Lots of insta-love and time jumping. I’d read the next before making any firm determinations about the future of this series.

This was my first book by this duo. And while it was good, nothing really stood out for me. Yes it’s a MC book but that’s not really the whole basis like for normal MCs … there is farm life, and tons of other factors … don’t get me wrong there is MC, but it’s milder than a lot of others. The cover model is what drew me in…

Well I really enjoyed Judge. It goes back and forth so you get pieces of the past with the present. I usually don’t like that but it seemed to work really good in this book. I’ve jumped right into the next book and I’m telling you, this series is the bomb!! Plenty of action. Of all kinds

This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed Judge’s story it’s about how the Mc came to be so you jump from past to present which gives you a great understanding of how the mc works and what they stand for you also get to know the other key members of the mc and their back stories as well
Looking forward to the next one

Judge has just found out his bank accounts are blocked and he's to speak to an accounting firm about his inheritance and long lost family.

This is the first book by this author that I have read. It was a very good.story and I plan to read more of the series. The motorcycle club in this book is a little different than traditional clubs. It is a new take and it works very well.
