First Rage
He was a founder, took in boys and watched them become men he could be proud of. A heart so full of love, it had been broken so many times. His blood rejected him, and he made family from Rage. He thought life was done, he'd received all the bounty life had to give. But life wasn't finished with him, not yet.
At fifty-five life had sped by and she realised while she was busy, her life lacked love. Respected, educated, and a dedicated to her career, she had a spine of steel and generous heart. But she was lonely and that pair of sharp blue eyes was telling her she was missing something.
Two lonely people who weren't even aware they were seeking a soulmate, come together. There's a twist coming that not even he could foresee, as the Founder of Rage, meets his match.

I was born in 1974 in Dagenham, Essex, England! I moved out of Essex in 2002 and moved to South Yorkshire and then settled in Derbyshire in 2005.
I've got four sons, one daughter and seven cats! I'm still working out who is more trouble, the children or cats! My children and I love cooking together, movie nights and music.

My favourite holiday is Halloween and I'm known as the crazy lady in my street when Halloween hits! My love of Halloween even carries over to Christmas when, alongside my big "normal" tree I also have a Jack Skeleton tree!
My favourite movies vary, Star Wars, LOTR, Pirate Movie, Amazing Mr Blunden, Phantom of the Opera, Memphis Belle., finally Olympus/London has Fallen. Music depends on my mood, country, pop, classical, even bagpipes!

I just loved Axel's story. He is my favorite character out of the hole series, and to see him find his happily ever after is just amazing. Loved it!!!
June 5, 2021
All you doubting Thomas's! Did you really think I'd not give Axel a book? He's been one of my favourite characters from the word go. Larger than life and as bold as can be. Axel has a heart of pure gold and needed a woman who could give him all the love she had. Ellen is perfect for Axel, the smooth curves to his rough edges. Hope you enjoy the book!

There is something about Axel where you can't help but to love him! I especially love how he's demanded he's grandpa to all the Rage kids and whenever he's around usually ends up spending lots of time with the kids, more so than the adults. When I realized this book was going to be Axel finding his old lady I was happy, looking forward to seeing the woman who would be his match.
I wasn't sure about Ellen at the start, I liked her, but wasn't sure she would be good with Axel. But as time went on, you saw how perfect she was for him. She enjoyed all the things that Axel brought to her life and that included Rage. It was great too that both of them acknowledged that being as old as they were, neither wanted to play games and went for what they wanted in a relationship. I really loved that Rage and Phoenix had her back when trouble came her way. Things there got resolved in the best way!
The 2nd half of the book really surprised me! I was glad that what Axel thought he knew at the start of the book wasn't true. Loved how all of Rage was shocked with what they learned, how a certain someone gained quite a bit of respect, instead of the hate and disdain that everyone had thought about them. I also worried that this last half of the book would scare Ellen away, it was scary for her and all the old ladies were like, it's just another day, but with guns.
The ending was great! Loved Axel and Ellen got their happy ending, surrounded by so much family!
On a side note...Eddie, she cracks me up. Her demand of Grandma and being the Princess was so great!

I was glad I got to read Axels story, about what happened with his kids in the past. Some heavy secrets came out about that. Ellen works at the private school where Rage's kids go. School board members after Ellen's job, and not being discrete about it either. Some action and heat. I like they are close to age. HEA.

July 4, 2024Once again we have a mediocre book at best, yet only great reviews and of course, none negative. I'm not going to star rate this book because it's not what I expected and I DNF at approx 60% - I just couldn't waste any more time reading this very very MC lite book. I'm still trying to figure out the ages of the M&FLs - she was anywhere from 47 to 55, but I think we landed at 50 or so. He was somewhere between 60-65. This was billed as a biker age-gap romance. No real biker and age gap? At this point who gives a rat's ass about 10 yrs! That wasn't the problem - it was that she wrote the FL as 5' tall & the ML as 6'8"!!!! LMAO, I guess it was convenient for the H to get BJs cause the FL had to just about be mouth to belt level. What's with all these super short yet curvy h's in these stories; it's really laughable.
And I'm still trying to figure out what country this took place in - Texas was mentioned, but no one in TX speaks the way these characters did - also Dakota was mentioned - the city? N or S Dakota, the state? No city of Dakota in TX, one in Minnesota, and maybe a couple other states but ????? Doesn't matter, cause they also talked about tea time or something, so maybe it's England, I dont know and I so don't care cause this was a SNOOZE FEST!
I know alot of people seemed to have enjoyed this, but it was neither a biker book nor any kind of steamy romance; no grit, no club drama, no ow drama, no nothing and the sex was somewhere off page. I'm not going to bring the ratings down, but suffice to say, this author is NOT for me.

Hot Damn Axel has it going on!!!!!!!!
Axel is the character that has been the backbone of Rage, often in the background but present for everything. Well I can tell you Axel has it going on! Ellen is perfect for him, serious with a demanding career but that naughtiness that comes with being a Rage Old Lady. And Axel's sneaky, funny, booming and just pure Axel. his backstory was pretty good as we'd hints to it in past books but Elizabeth filled it out nicely.
This time it's about Axel protecting his woman from a snotty nosed rival who Axel takes down with help from Phoenix. And there's a twist that makes your heart bleed for Axel. And we get to see some of the Rage children and get a load of them in action!
Great novella and I'm over the moon Axel got his happy ending. Wouldn't mind having some Axel of my own. He can sweep me off my feet any day. Totally fell in love with Axel all over again.

Alex is a driving force within the MC. He is the backbone that keeps them going. He is first generation and has become a parent to most of the club but without a doubt grandpa to all of the kids.
When he is summoned to the school for an incident with one of this babies, he is determined to find out what happened.
Ellen was the perfect counterpart to Alex. She is a strong character who doesn't hesitate to stand up for herself or her kids at school. When threats are made so that they can take over her job, they don't realize that when Ellen became a part of Axel she also became a part of Rage. Phoe is on the warpath again.
The one thing that I don't like regardless of who says it or what power they may have is when Phoe always says, Do you know who I am? Like just because someone has money they don't have to face consequences that others do.. Regardless if they do good, acting like their wealth makes them superior to the poor.

Thank you
This was very good story. Love how Axel and Ellen came together, very original. Ellen was a wonderful h, strong and independent. Axel was Axel. Want to say thank you for giving us a kid like Eddie. From book one she has brought laughter into the story. Rage is a family and glad they are not left out of your stories, as they are intertwined. (Hoping Harley wakes up soon, too). I love your stories.

Good Read
First Rage is Axel and Ellen’s story which I found to be quite a sweet read compared to some of the other books in the series. I really liked reading about Axel finding his one and found them to be a pair I wouldn’t have expected together but they actually really worked. I loved Ellen’s sassiness and how she took everything in her stride but also stuck up for herself when needed, she is a brilliant character. A great read that I would recommend.

Adore this couple
There are so many funny scenes in this book but what do you expect from Axel. He meets a woman that intrigues him and he goes after her. Ellen is a school teacher with a drill sergeant attitude. Adel and Ellen go through a few bumps. Rage ends up in a situation, again, fighting for their lives.

Such a good story
Exceptional, well written. Ellen's work was unsavory. They were appalled when they got to the bottom of the deceit. Trouble literally lands on the MC's doorstep. Axel and Rage find out someone wasn't who they thought they were. There is a beautiful happily ever after for Axel and Ellen.

It was ok but it could have been better if it was explained more on sum things. Dreams do come true 4 Axel but can he have more unexpected things come 4 him 2? Read and decide. It was fucked up about that school but it worked out in the end 4 the better dealing with the trash there. Lol Ellen seems like a good woman 4 him.

Superb
Once again Elizabeth has drawn you in to the characters and life’s of Rage and Hellfire. Seeing Axel get his happy ending with a loving strong woman makes the world seem like a better place. Waiting with baited breath for the next one.

I did wonder whether Elizabeth would tackle a relationship for Axel as he's the eldest brother. Nice to see she did so and with aplomb. Nice book and good to see some back story for Axel. Highly recommend.

Age is just a number
Trigger Warnings.
Beautiful and sweet story that matured peeps can have a chance to find their "one".
Grandpa and Grandma are characters that know what they want, and blow what anyone say. Love this short story.

Although a shorter read it was great to finally see Axel get his happy ending and Ellen was perfect for him. I can’t say enough good things about the Rage Mc series.
