I want to run, to sink into the ground until the dirt is suffocating me but that's not who I am.
I'm a fighter and I'm going to keep throwing the punches until I'm free.
Motorcycle clubs, gangs, Mafia... just another day in my life that doesn't frazzle me.
I hope I make it out alive

Madeline Fay
24 books619 followersAbout Madeline Fay
Madeline lives in rural Michigan in a castle with all her fur babies and her lovely husband. She loves to read; you’ll find her in her tower with her Kindle and drinking boba tea or coffee.
She has a few addictions: chocolate is her weakness, and fanfiction Dramione.
She likes to pretend she’s a main character in a Korean drama and listens to K-pop as she dances around the house.
Her brain never stops creating conversations with WIP characters… You should see her Google Drive. It’s ridiculous how many tabs are opened for new stories to write.
She’s a zombie half the time during the day until the coffee kicks in, but at night she watches over her city in the shadows and calls herself Batman.
Not really, but she keeps hoping it might come true one day.
She’s in her bat cave writing and plotting mad, evil genius stories while sipping some wine.

This was dark, sexy and intense. I think it's my favorite one in the series so far. The start of this was hard to read, but nothing like how book 1 broke me.
Tillie is made strong by the men in her life. Logan, Dalton, Nicky and Tey will try their best to be what she needs now that secrets are coming to light. Tey pretty much stole the show for me. His dark humor is the best. One part towards the end had me giggling out loud. If I wasn't smiling, I was holding my breath wondering what bad would happen next. Ooh and I love that there might just be a 5th. Didn't see that coming with how alpha some of these dudes are, but totally down with it.
I'm ready for her to breathe a bit easier and just be.
That cliffhanger.... gah! Gutted. Need the next book asap!

I have been waiting for this book since I inhaled the first two all in one day! This was twisted, addictive, and had me sitting on the edge of my seat more times than I can count. Once again Madeline Fay knocks it out the park!
This book is definitely full of the triggers, but is amazing to see a character who is so strong after what she endured. This girl is a serious bad ass & I love everything about her. She is sarcastic & does not put up with anyone's shenanigans.
If you love strong FMC that isn’t afraid to fight back and take what she wants, and a few Alpha Males you hate but love all at once then you definitely need this.
Sadly, there is one heck of a cliffy that will leave you wanting to throw your kindle and scream but the wait for book four will definitely be worth the wait!! 100% highly recommend this series!!!!

Merciless Punks by Madeline Fay is the third part in the Dolls and Douchebags series, which is a dark, bully, enemies to lovers, why choose romance.
A little revenge, a little vengeance and a whole lot of pain I think is the perfect description for this one.
This book begins right where it left off in part two and if you’ve made it through the previous books, you’ll know the author is fully immersed in the world of darkness in the Dolls and Douchebags series.
But I also felt like Merciless Punks is where the barriers start to come down. There’s tender and caring moments, which are still very true for each character, and the scene with Tillie and Dalton is like a moment of change. But that doesn’t mean that the level of dark, violent, suffering and all round anger is dismissed. It’s just been tweaked…maybe made a little more wicked…a little more punishing, but in a way that Tillie is more in control of.
The pace is quick and each scene follows through the book has a reason, and you can see it’s building up for part four, and where hopefully those last few questions will be answered.
POV’s from mainly Tillie, but also Tey, Logan, and Dalton. Oh and the newest intriguing man…Dom. And of course Cruz.
I love that Dom wasn’t just a one time acquaintance from the previous book, as he and Tillie seemed to have this magnetic attraction that needed to be explored - I didn’t want to mention this in my review of Vicious Punks as it almost seemed spoilery at the time.

there are so many words to describe this book and the events that took place that if i were to list them all, i’d be typing this review for a very long time. that cliffhanger though? so so good. excited to see what happens next.
December 30, 2022
What the bloody hell..... I flew through all three books to find out that the fourth is not released and it ends with a cliffy. The series was intense but damn near captivating with darkness.

I am really enjoying this series minus the editing errors.
It is constantly keeping me on my toes and I love that the harem isn't just made up of lifelong friends.
Cruxpz and Franco are absolute psychopaths but i love how the guys protect her but don't clip her wings to do it

4.5⭐ rounding up because I love anti-heroes and the chemistry between these characters is 🔥
RTC
Dom and Tey make this book 🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤
There is a bit of OW drama that had me in knots - - I don't believe it's as it appears but it's left unresolved in this book plus the whole keeping secrets was pissing me off. How is she supposed to trust them when they keep pulling this BS?
The cliffhanger is gnarly and I'm looking forward to the next book, which is planned to be the final book to complete the series.

OH MY GOD, that ending!?!?!? 😭😭😭
Merciless Punks is book #3 in the Dolls and Douchebags series. It's a Dark reverse harem, make sure you read the trigger warning.
This book is INCREDIBLE!!! So much amazingness in one book!
We pick up where we left off in Vicious Punks and it's a wild ride the whole way thru!
Tillie has already been hurt so much, and it isnt over yet. But now she has people that have her back and can help her fight back.
Dalton, Logan, Tey and Nicky can't get enough of our girl and Dom really grew on me in this one!
Tey is still my favorite though, he is my boo!
That cliffhanger Madeline!!! That was so freaking mean, but I love it!
I can't wait for the next book! I love this series so much!

THAT ENDING HAS ME SHITTING BRICKS… Cruz literally needs to have every kind of torture method forced on him, yank out his toenails, waterboard him, 1000 cuts, skin him, pull his teeth out, burn his eyelashes off, chop is tiny dick and balls off and then shove it down his throat… That piece of shit deserves never ending pain and torture. You can add Franco and Jin to the torture list too, the sick fucks. God they make me want to throw up and go on a murder spree.
I’m obsessed with Tillie and her 5 douchebags, I can’t put into words how much I love this series… I don’t think I’ll ever be ready for it to end.
My fave douchebags are Tey and Dom. Obvs. My blood thirsty psychos 💘
Every time Dom calls Tillie “Mama” I SWOOOOOONNN.
Tey and his lil unicorn owns me completely. Mind, body and soul.

I don't know what I loved more. The surprise that was Dom, all of them together (and the harem going from 4 to 5), the unification of the group, their individual relationship with her. I really don't know! I'm shocked.
This book (and this series) hit us directly in the guts and, at least for me, made me sit a bunch of times.
My heart can't take it any more and we are only on book 3 🥹
I also think I love them all. There are always favorites, yes. But in this series they're all so... everything?
I am losing my mind!

4.5🌶
⚠️CHECK THE TRIGGERS⚠️
_____________________
I have been DYING for this book since last year! It couldn’t come fast enough! I missed my boys and Tillie.
The freaking cliffhanger. I swear Madeline is the queen of them! 😒
I can’t say much because I don’t do spoilers but I’m beyond ready for this series to be over so I can just absorb all the emotions that run wild with these books!!

Wow soo much blood and revenge in this book. Loved all the plot twists and the secrets that are revealed. Tille continues to grow and change in each book and so do her boys. Love the addition of Dom to the group. Some seriously steamy scenes and a ending that will make your jaw drop.

Personally, I am not in a good space so it was hard to enjoy the book to the fullest but I was so excited about reading this one so I pushed through and I am so glad I did. It is terrific, I like Dom so much and I like the way things have turned out. The starting of the book was very scary and it hurt my heart to read Tillie going through those things. This book is dark and yeah we cannot escape what is her reality but the way the boys have her back and the way she reclaims her power, I love that. There are a lot of sexy scenes and questionable ones with Tey as they ought to be but it was good to see him go all wild. Dalton surprised me a lot in this book, I did not peg him for a softie but the way he expressed himself after learning Tillie's past made me like him more. Nicky is sexy with the whole alpha vibe going on and Logan expresses his love in a poetic way which was sweet. The ending is, of course, a cliffhanger but I still feel okay about it because I have faith in my crazy guy so I think it is going to be alright. Tillie's harem will make sure to cut the psychopath. I also like how story-wise the characters are kind of connected due to the elders in their lives so there are some secrets that are yet to be revealed.

“That day when I said you’re mine, I meant what I said. Mine to hurt. Mine to kiss. Mine to fuck. Mine to protect.”
Madeline Fey, why or why are you the master of cliff hangers? I waited 9 freaking months for this book so I could see how things played out with Dalton, Tillie, Payne, and the Demon Jokers. Finally, Payne got what was coming to him! While this book was not as action packed as the previous two books, this story felt like an interlude to the something big and potentially earth shattering coming in Revengeful Punks. But what this book lacked in action, it more than made up for in secrets. I am hoping that the next book sees Nicky and Logan take over as head of their fathers’ empires because then this group of psychos will be so powerful, nothing will be able to stand in their way.

*internally screaming*
Possible spoilers
Oh. My. God. I have waited so long so this book and I was not disappointed. I need more and wish it was longer! I can’t wait til book 4. *screams some more*
I loved Dom and his casual as f*** attitude about breaking in to the mansion and clubhouse lol. When we met him in book 3 I was really hoping we hadn’t seen the last of him and I’m so pleased with how he was woven into the story. Tillie needs all the support she can get, especially after that cliffy.
I loved how the guys finally accepted and admitted how they feel about her and can’t wait to watch them burn the world down and help her get her revenge. It’s gonna be glorious.
I understand what Logan and Nicky did with Paris, I just hope they didn’t cross a certain line they can’t come back from.

This. Book!
Ahh!! I love Dom! He is my favorite, with Tey and Nicky coming in a close second. We get more Dom, some heart pounded moments, a super reveal, a little vengeance, and a what the crap are you doing to me ending that will have you scream for the next book!! I love the steam scenes!! The taste of vengeance Tillie dishes out is divine, too. Read it! You won’t regret this series!

ahhhh!
To see how far these characters have come in 3 books is outstanding. I’m beyond excited to read book 4 and the conclusion to see where that cliffy takes us. Tey will forever be my sweet psycho but Dom! That mama/papi thing really gets me! The friendships are such a big part of this and Nicola is just the bees knees.

Still captivating enough that I want to continue.
That cliffhanger ending though.
Love the relationship she has with each of the guys and the glimpse into the FMCs healing from everything, talking about it and the guys supporting here
Can't wait for the next instalment to see how the story progresses

January 5, 2025
So Cruz has now found Tillie… I really hope the guys save her and have their revenge with him. I also want to know what Logan and Nicky’s deal with Paris is. And now Dom is part of her men. I like him as an addition. On to the next one!
