Loved Hatchet but damn Layla was irritating - I agreed with Grim and Ink when they told her she was being a bitch and messing with Hatchet's head. I don't like it when the h is judgmental about the club and her man like Layla. Ugh! She was selfish and a hypocrite. Hatchet deserved so much more from his woman.

Didn't see that coming
Hachet and Layla have a rocky past. When she shows up in town six years later with some hidden secrets Hachet is furious.
A lot of back and forth with the relationship. One minute they hate each other yelling and fighting. The next they are all lovey and dovey. But it goes back and forth too much in my opinion.
There is danger as on every book, but in this one I really didn't think of the person who was behind it all.

This book is AWESOME!! I love Hatchets aggressiveness and roughness. Layla is soo sweet. She can be a bit stubborn and dumb but she’s sweet and a loving mother who is just trying to protect her son

I didn't realize how much I'd fall in love with Hatchet and Layla. But I did. The plot twist with her dad wasn't something I saw coming, but I figured when we first met him in the book that he would be trouble. I love the brotherhood of the Savage Crows. They are always there when they need each other, no matter if they bottle it up inside. One of them are always there to push them in the right direction. Grim saying those words to Layla near the end in the hospital was amazing. She needed to hear it. And I hope now that there's some kind of peace, that she continues to find her way as a old lady and everyone starts to love her as well. I can't wait to hear more about Matthew and his sibling. I loved how Hatchet stepped up from day 1 of finding out about Matthew. 😍 on to book 4!

With every book I read of T.O. Smith I fall deeper in love with her writing style. Hatchet was an absolutely perfect read. I was hooked once again from the first paragraph, with the intensity between Hatchet and Layla I just couldn’t put this book down for even a minute!
Yes the couple is a little toxic in the beginning but that toxicity makes them perfect for each other because they compliment each other’s flaws by the end and you see just why T.O. Smith paired this crazy couple together.

Method: ebook
Rating: 3/5 stars
H rating: 3/5 - Hatchet
h rating: 2/5 - Layla
Drama: 3/5
Thoughts: Not a fan of Layla!!! NO NO NO. This couple was so bad. I'm at 25% and really wanting to DNF.
NOPE.

Fighting for lost love
This is about Hatchet and Layla who had a second chance romance and secret baby.
This was a beautiful story how Hatcher changed and Layla grew as a person. I love how Hatcher gave her strength when she couldn't do it on her own.
I enjoyed how you feel connected with the characters.
I definitely recommend this author

Ok book
There were so many grammatical errors in this book and there was very little back story about the characters. This book was so rushed. It had such a good plot. But it really let. I was going to read some of the others in the series. Because I am a huge motorcycle club romance fan. But I think I will pass.

Umm..yes please!!
Like the other 2 books before this one, it didn't disappoint at all!!! I loved it from the first page to the last.. Hell even surprised at some of the twists in the story. Can't wait to find into book 4.

Bad things can happen to good people
Despite Hatchet pulling himself back from the brink, with help from his brothers, his world is not settled. Unfortunately outside influences are causing him drama in his life. From unexpected sources.

Honestly I hated Layla.
Childish. Judgemental. Selfish. A brat.
That’s all.

Wow.
Talk about your past coming back in town. Hatchet never would have expected Layla to come back into town, let alone with his son?! Of course that doesn’t come with out some drama, and some plots twists I did not see coming..but Hatchet and Layla just might be my favorite couple yet!
