Gage "Fox" Wyatt After ten years in the Navy, the hardships of war became too much, and I left it all behind for Haven, Tennessee, and a new band of brothers in Club Creed. We might break the law when we have to, but we keep our noses clean...mostly. I help my uncle run the gun range he opened, and yeah, there's some arms dealing that goes on behind closed doors. But for the most part, I find my peace in this little sanctuary near the Smoky Mountains. That is until she shows up one night at Lust & Sin—the new girl in town who's also the new bartender. I can't help be taken by her instantly. Maybe it's her quiet beauty. Maybe it's the way she carries herself. Or maybe it's the pain I can clearly see in her eyes. The fear. She's running from something. Someone. And I'm the only man who can keep her safe.
Kimberly Ortiz The only thing that could shove me out of Miami and take me away from my family is the cartel. They know I'm the reason why their leader's facing life in federal prison, and they won't stop coming after me until I'm dead. Finding a tiny town near the mountains seemed like a good idea. Who would think to look for me here? For a short time, it seems like I can blend in with the town. I've got a humble, cozy little place above the record store where I work during the day. I bartend at night. It's almost like I've got a second chance, a new life. And when I meet Fox, I might even have a chance at...romance. But my sweet little fresh start seems to vanish when the past catches up with me. I've got a choice to make: keep running, or give the cartel what they want so they can leave the people I love—including the new man in my life—alone. And what the cartel wants more than anything? My life.
I wasn't a huge fan of this book, I thought it was quite boring. But I still enjoyed the jealous/possessive nature of the hero. Kim is on the run from something. Gage doesn't know what, but he's determined to help her.

Kim is running from her past who just happens to be a cartel in Miami so who would think to look for her in a small mountain town in Tennessee. That’s where she finds a man, Gage/Fox who is more than willing to protect the woman he is falling for. Their chemistry was great and had me rooting for them throughout the book.
This was a fast-paced book full of twists and turns that keep you hoping for the HEA for Kim and Fox.
Kim's life is in danger since she gave information on the drug cartel. She leaves Miami to a quit town in Tennessee. She meets Gage there and things start changing for her. She gets a job that Gage tells her about and hopes that things will be good for her now. However, Kim sees a guy that is after her when she is at the store and starts freaking out. Gage finds her and wants to help her. Will she accept his help? Can they have a chance to be together?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

I love this book and for me it is one of the best in the series! Kim is stronger than she thinks and whilst she is terrified, she is tired of running, Haven calls to her soul and you can almost feel her relief pour from the page as she finally walks up main street. Her welcome party of Marg, Linus and Gage become her second family and you can feel the love they offer when they open their arms to her. A great book, I read this on Kindle Unlimited.
Kim's life was in danger when she turned over information on a certain drug cartel in Miami. They were also to blame for her brothers death. Then she found her information put them in jail. So she ran away from Miami. She picked a small town, Haven. After her car broke down she hitched a ride with a guy but he had a different idea but when she garnished a knife he kicked her out. She got to town and was greeted by Marg at the diner. After talking Mary gave her a job as well as a place to stay. While ordering a piece of pie, she's introduced to Gage who in turn found out she was new and told her about the bar that was hiring. Nash took her to the shop and to show her the little apartment above the shop. Kim went to the bar and got the job that Gage told her about. Kim had some secrets but wasn't letting on she did however feel safe with him. Gage was the manager of the firing range that was owned by his Uncle. Gage is taking over since his Uncles heart attack. While there a strange man came in asking for a certain type of gun. This threw warning signs up to Gage and the deputy that was there practicing. Mary asked Gage to take Kim to the store to let her get some stuff for her new place. While shopping Kim thought she saw the man that she was trying to get away from and had a full on panic attack. Gage found her and from that point forward he was going to protect her. Kim enjoyed Gages company. He even took her to the gun range where is Uncle showed her how to shoot a gun while Gage did some paperwork. After they were done, they left his Uncle there but later he was called that the gun range had been shot at and his Uncle was back in the hospital because of the stress. Both Gage and Kim went there and it was during this time that Gage found out some information and Kim saw that same guy from the store. She was shaken when she got back to them waiting for her. One night Kim explained everything to Gage and he vowed to always protect her. Then Kim was sent a blocked text message, to meet that guy in the back of the store and tell no one. Gage had the Sheriff watch over her while Reaper, Code and himself Fox went to the clubhouse. At the clubhouse they were greeted by the ATF, SWAT Team. The guts were briefed on what was happening when one of the ATF guys introduced himself. Later they followed the car Kim had got into. They were going to bring in this man from the cartel one way or another. After Kim got in the car she knew she was going to die but she would do anything to protect her parents. They stopped the car, got out and started walking deep in the woods. Kim had been walking when she felt a pain in her ankle, remembering she had her knife her brother taught her how to use. She tripped and hurt her ankle only to actually use the knife. The goons that were there helped her up but she was able to stab the one killing him and stabbed the other one but only wounded him but the scarred one took her and was threatening her when gun fire and shouting. All of a sudden Kim saw Gage and everything happened so fast. Kim saw a gun and remembered she was taught how to shoot a gun and she took gain and fired. At the same time another gun shot rang out. When Gage and the bad guy.both fell to the ground Kim thought she shot Gage. However, once the ATF showed up Kim was told she actually killed the bad guy and that Gage was shot by the guy. The ATF approached Kim and the same one who gave met earlier was now talking to Kim explaining who he was. Kim was beyond thrilled to see her brother who was an agent and couldn't let her know he was really alive and her parents were under witness protection. Kim and Gage went home after Gage got patched up from his gun shot wound. This is where they connect st a deeper level and they discuss spending their life together. Her family was alive and well and were going to come and visit maybe even stay.

ATF Agent? Awesome book. Kim is on the run from Miami Cartel. They killed her brother. Afterwards, she turned over some information to the FEDS that got the big boss arrested and facing life in prison plus, a lot of his people were also arrested. Not to mention the whole organization was shut down. Now the is calling the shots from prison and wants her dead. She didn’t want her parents in danger so, Kim told them she was going backpacking across Europe. They thought it was a good idea on the heels of her brother’s murder. So, here she is in a small town called Haven. Upon arriving she meets Marg the owner of the record store who introduces her to Linus the diner owner. As they talk she offers her a job at her store and use of the apartment above it. Kim gladly accepts both. As she eats a slice of Linus’ pie, which is fantastic, in walks the most handsome man ever. Neither can take their eyes off the other. Watching them with amusement, Marg introduces them. They all speak for a bit and Gage learns that the beautiful woman is new to town. He asks Kim if she knows anything about bartending and she confirms that she does. He tells her to stop by the club because his buddy, Gamble, is looking for another bartender. She says she will and Gage leaves. As he sits on his motorcycle, ready to put on his helmet something tells him to look up. When he looks at the diner he sees Kim has moved to the window and stands there watching him. He gives her a finger wave and gets his helmet on and leaves. Kim tosses and turns that night and all because she can’t stop thinking about Gage. In the morning she gets up and starts her day with coffee before heading downstairs to open the store and finds Marg there already. She shows her around and how to work the register then leaves. She’s looking at ways to start an online store for the record store when Gage strolls in. He leans against the counter and says a little birdie told him she needed a ride to the store. She knows who did and she tells him it’s not necessary. When Marg tells you to do something you do it, no questions asked and that’s what he’s going to do. Kim wonders how they are going to bring stuff back on his bike. To her surprise, and a little disappointment, he has a big black truck waiting for them. Well, that answers that question. While she shops Gage pushes the cart but, when she goes to pick out undergarments she gets embarrassed and she sends him off to get her some fruit. Some things she has to try on to make sure that they fit properly. As she’s coming out of the fitting room she sees a man that she knows is a part of the cartel. Terrified, she ducks down and hides back in the fitting room. When she hears heavy footsteps Kim hugs her knees and prays he doesn’t find her. Gage is concerned when he doesn’t see her when he comes back. He calls out to her at the fitting room but she doesn’t answer. He peeks in and sees her huddled on the floor shaking. He goes to her tries comfort her but, Kim is in such terror that she fights him until she finally realizes it’s him. He wants to know what happened. She tells him that she saw a man from Miami and knows he followed her. Will he be able to protect her?.

When she first gets into town, an older woman takes her under her wing, offers her a job and a place to stay.

He doesn't get involved with the woman in the club or in town, but when he meets Kimberly, there is something about her. He can see the pain she hides and he just wants to fix everything for her.

There's a song in the book AND IT HAS A REFERENCED LISTING (footnote marker). Sorry, that's a major *squeee* moment for me.
I’m Pretty Sure This is my FAVE Mazzy King Title! Love love LOVE Mazzy King’s talent, and I have to say that “Fox,” part of the 18-book, multi-author Dirty Sinners series of contemporary romances, is my favorite of her titles so far! Gage and Kim positively burned up my Kindle, and I’m not even mad about it. Gage is hot, sexy, and protective - a military vet who meets the beautiful Kimberly when she finds herself in the small town of Haven, Tennessee. There are awesome side characters in this story, sparking my interest in devouring the rest of the series as well. Lots of sizzling heat, some danger and intrigue, all the aww moments and lip biters…and that plot twist? Ms. King, you are ON FIRE!
Gage met this beautiful woman because he was on a pie run for his uncle. An Kim met a very nice lady, who offered pie, a place to live and a job all in one sitting. She fell in love with this small town because of its' name and it turned into so much more. She met a man, who wanted to protect her and heal her heart all at the same time. She wound up in trouble because she was trying to do the right thing. And he wanted to do the right thing for her. He knew she had secrets, but wanted her to confide in him and feel safe. And the moment she did, everything went upside down. But he still wouldn't give up. And her brother, happy that turned out for the family. Happy their love story worked out for them.
Heaven and Haven – both the same! This is about Gage, “aka Fox,” and Kimberly. She is running away, and Haven, TN, was the place she picked on the map that would be the farthest from Miami, where she was protecting her family from the cartel. I love small towns as they are always so welcoming, and although she had to make her point with the truck driver when she hitched a ride, she came into good hands when she met Marg and ended up loving everyone in this small town. The story has a surprising ending when she is determined to protect her family but loves that it ended how it did.

Running from the cartel after getting their boss thrown in prison, she runs to a small country town to escape them. Meeting Gage and settling in to the cozy little town feels so right. Until a visitor from the city arrives and ruins everything. This such a great read. From start to finish its a great story, with strong characters and so easy to read,.

Once again Mazzy King blows me away. This time it is with FOX which is part of the multi-author Dirty Sinners series. I fell in love with the story of Kimberly Ortiz and Gage "Fox" Wyatt from the first page and really wanted more by the end. Both Kim and Fox are perfect together as they dance around each other to begin with and then start to melt together until there are molten hot. There is drama, secrets, a small town, a new start, love, passion and so much more all perfectly wrapped into this story. I am enjoying this series about the members of the Dirty Sinners MC, but I will say Fox and Kim are my favorite so far.
Mazzy King joins the awesome multi-author Dirty Sinners series with Fox, a super steamy, engaging, action-packed instalove romance. Gage aka Fox is ex-military and a member of the Club Creek MC. When he meets new-in-town Kim, he quickly realizes there is nothing he won't do for the woman he is instantly drawn to love and protect. But will Kim let Fox in, or will she be willing to sacrifice everything in her own attempt to protect the man she loves? An excellent, entertaining, and wonderfully sizzling romance that's a perfect addition to this series.

Kim is on the run hiding from a Miami drug cartel that killed her older brother. Fox/Gage first meets her in a diner when she first arrives in town. She lucks out and not only finds a place to live but part time jobs at a music store and as a bartender. This was an entertaining read with suspense and intrigue, a possessive biker and a strong woman trying to survive and keep her family alive. The connection between Gage and Kim is felt immediately but Kim is slow to trust but soon realizes that her new friends are now her family. A wonderful addition to the Dirty Sinners series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Dnf. I didn’t feel any connection to either of them, and a ridiculous plot.
Really wanted to like this, but I’ve no clue who Fox/Gage is, or Kim, where the Mc clubhouse is, who the president is, and what sort of club it is. Are they a 1% club? They never have church, and they don’t seem like an Mc. Then there’s Kim. Who is on the run from the cartel, as she supposedly brought them down by her evidence only. The most ludicrous plot line ever! As all she could say was that she saw them in the nightclub where she worked!!!
So when they have sex it feels like two strangers. as the author hasn’t built any connection to them. Maybe it’s too short, to fit it all in?
This was a different spin on an MC story that was very good.
Our MFC is Kim who helped bring down the cartel’s boss in Miami and is now on the run trying to protect her parents. She lands in the sleepy little town of Haven where she meets several different people. One of those people is Gage.
Gage is our MMC who is also known as Fox in his MC the Dirty Sinners. Gage falls first and they both fall hard. Things happen and he’s protecting what’s his.
This is a dual POV story that has a future epilogue. I believe I found one error, but the story is well written either way some steamy scenes. Worth the read.
Gage and Kim made such a great couple. Kim was running from a really bad situation, although Gage doesn't know exactly what she's running from in the beginning. All he knows is that he wants to protect her and take care of her. When everything comes to a head and the truth comes out, Gage is all in and stops at nothing to make sure Kim is safe. This one is probably one of my favorites in the Dirty Sinners series so far, and Gage is absolutely wonderful. Great read!.

This book was so good. It had all the feels! Suspense, intrigue, romance plus and an Alpha! Kim is hiding from the cartel. She knows just how risky that is. She settles in a small town and is welcomed with open arms. Gage sees her and can tell that she’s running from something. At one point, he pledges to protect Kim. I really enjoyed reading this book. I just love this author and was so excited to read this book!.

This story is amazing! I fell in love with the characters and the small town atmosphere, where everyone knows each other and helps each other. Fox is super protective, from the first moment. And Kim is a strong and independent woman. Beyond the immediate initial attraction, Kim and Gabe develop a friendship, a relationship that leads to an explosion of passion, with super hot scenes. The secondary characters make the story much more interesting and enjoyable.

ThanksI started out getting pretty upset about something specific in the book, and I honestly almost stopped reading right then. But I decided to finish it, and I'm actually really happy that I did, because the issue I had was resolved in a very awesome twist, and allowed me to really enjoy the book. I'll reread it again in the future and be able to enjoy it even more knowing that everything turns out okay.

This is a great story. Fox happens to meet the new girl at the the local diner. He can tell that she is running form something or someone. I love the Dirty Sinners as they do their MC thing but also protects the town they live in. Fox spends a lot of time protecting Kim and keeping her safe from the cartel. The story is entertaining, has excitement, suspense, passion, steam, and love. I love that Mazzy King also adds an epilogue to the story. Highly recommend this story and also the series.

Intriguing storyline with many characters that add so much validation to this book. I absolutely loved Gage, he can be my book boyfriend anytime. Kim, is amazing in the many challenges she overcame with loss, standing up for what’s right and protecting all those she loves, thought her attitude and spirit was spot on. Very surprised by the ending, but it was fantastic news and so happy not only for her, but her family as well.

Kim was running for her life after giving evidence against the cartel. She arrived in Haven without a plan! She met Marg who took her in and helped her. Gage was a member of the Dirty Sinners. One look at Kim and he knew she was special. They became friends. He ceres for and protected her. Their feelings for each other grew. Sweet, steamy romance with great chemistry, a little danger and suspense and a lovely HEA.

While on the run from the cartel Kim ends up in Haven where she meets Gage and the people of Haven. I loved the connection between Fox and Kim and how protective he was of her. When trouble shows up looking for Kim will Gage and the MC protect her? This is a slow burn MC romance with likable characters and a story filled with steam, secrets, danger, suspense, and a great ending. Fox is part of the multi-author Dirty Sinners series and I look forward to reading the rest of this series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a great addition to the Dirty Sinners series. Kim and Gage meet when she comes to Haven to hideout. They really hit it off, have an instant attraction and things are looking up for them both. The Cartel is looking for Kim and are still on her trail. The men in Haven are a protective bunch who have each other's backs. Gage is going to do whatever it takes to protect the woman he's claimed. I liked the storyline and the characters. It was a romance with drama, conflict, brotherhood, friendship and heat.
This is a wonderful addition to the Dirty Sinners series, it's a fast-paced quick to read standalone novella. Kimberly is on the run from some serious bad guys who killed her brother so she found some info at work to put them away. She meets Fox and the rest of the Dirty Sinners when she goes to Haven. She's immediately attracted to the older man. Good story.
This book has got to be the best book in the Dirty Sinners MC series so far! There is just so much meat to this story! It’s so detailed and so good! Not only do Gage and Kim get to know each other pretty well but so do we. There is a good amount of interaction with other members of the MC. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Mazzamurro King.
Kimberly arrives in town try9ing to put her past behind her. She connects with Fox who feels a kindred spirit with her. The need to protect Kim is strong for Fox and when the trouble she is trying to escape catches up will he and his MC brothers be able to keep her safe? This action-packed story kept me glued to the pages.

I didn't personally care for this book only because I didn't really feel a connection between Kim and Fox. I also really didn't connect with Kim as a main character- she seemed really bland and boring rather than scared and on the run from the cartel. I normally don't go for MC romances either, they just aren't my personal favorite, but I wanted to give this one a try, and unfortunately it just wasn't in the cards for me.
