*4.5 Stars*
I absolutely love MC books, like seriously addicted to them. When I read the synopsis for this book I instantly wanted to read this book. I loved the way the authors wrote this book. The MC theme was there but the story itself was very different and intriguing. There is no cheating, but there is a bit of grittiness in the storyline.

‘I had something else to look forward to besides death and darkness when I woke up each morning……I had a little bit of light in a world, which carried so much darkness.’
This was quite a different MC book the ones we’ve experienced, in fact, at times it didn’t really feel like an MC book, other times, we could feel the MC mood and that synopsis certainly dragged us in!
‘Together, they were unstoppable. Formidable, Brothers in both arms and souls.’

I decided to read Without Consequences because I heard it was an MC book, even though that wasn't mentioned in the synopsis, and I was curious. Once I started I was concerned that I accidentally started a paranormal book, because of the 'pack' references. I enjoyed a giggle when I discovered that they are the Hounds of Babylon MC, and that's why they are a pack. I'm not sure if it's a geographical thing or what, but the multiple references of the ground, ...more

Loved the first half but then it got a bit too far fetched and the characters were making me roll my eyes all the time.
There was a lot of thinking and not so much talking or doing that made the pace feel slow at times which was a shame as there was plenty going on. The MC H in particular left me cold in this, the scenes where he had to go and damage things because he's feeling so ragey felt like indulging a spoilt teen to me, not attractive.

This book,WOW just WOW.For Two writers to write such a amazing book it just blew me away,you would thing they would been writing books together for years,they're words just jelled together to create one fantastic book everyone needs to read.
They journey they take you on,getting to know these characters you feel everything that they go through in life in every detail.
Cannot wait to read more by these authors and more of the people of Babylon.

As MC books go this is pretty high up there with my favorites.
My first book by both these authors.
Without Consequence is what I call a quality read, 49 chapters containing highs, lows, angst, drama, in fact, there aren't many books where you get not just the meat of a story but the bones of the story and characters too.

Some books you read and enjoy, but they're gone the moment you shut the cover. Not Without Consequence. I was given the honour of editing this book, and it was a privilege and a pleasure to do so. Every night, I reluctantly shut my laptop down on Drew and Ayda, far later than I ought to have done, because the story just drags you in by the throat.

I had the pleasure of being a BETA for this book and what a fantastic read it is. I read from cover to cover in one day, I couldn't put it down. The authors write seamlessly together to create a gripping and intense story. 'Drew Tucker' is one hell of an alpha male character and despite his flaws, I couldn't help but be more and more intrigued by him. 'Ayda' is no wilting flower, she certainly gives him a run for his money, they're definitely a dynamic duo. I'm now left eagerly awaiting the

(Received an ARC in exchange of an honest review)
It was a fantastic read. Loved Drew Tucker !! I can't believe two people can write such a great book together. The book was very well written. The characters were very well plotted.
Drew Tucker was a strong character. A bit confuse and complex, freed from prison after five years. He is loving, caring & he has some real dark secrets & regrets shadowing him.

I mean, wow! First of all, I am already a Victoria L. James fan so I was all over this book as soon as I heard about it. Now I have a new author to LOVE in L.J. Stock. The two of them together is perfection! I was stoked to read WC, but I have to admit I was not fully prepared for the onslaught of feels I got when I read Without Consequence. Ex-con or not, Drew Tucker is a delicious leading man...everything that pulls you in, and makes you want more. He is strong, tortured, and capable of far

What a freaking amazing book!! I am literally sleep deprived from this book. Reading before bed, I would try to wait for a “good point” to stop and it never came! There was never a lull that would allow me to comfortably put the book down.
The book starts by telling stories of two different peoples lives. You know that at some point they are going to cross but their lives are so different, you can’t imagine how this could happen. The authors do an amazing job introducing these characters, Drew ...more

I had the greatest pleasure of Beta reading this for a couple of fantastically amazing authors. Victoria L James and L J Stock completely blew me away with the story of Ayda and Drew. Now, I'm not one to give away spoilers, and I'm sticking to this, but, what I will say is, OMG!! Drew is totally swoon-worthy and in a league of his own. And rightly so!

I am not a huge MC reader but have read a few of them recently but to me this was not so much an MC book but more about the love story. I loved the characters and do love a bad boy turned good, however, you can never take the MC out of the man. He will always be immersed but this was more about the girl taking the leap from good girl to an MC's old lady. Taking that leap of faith because love conquers all. Loved it (full review to come)

This was one hell of a story - hang onto your seat

Books are born from the imagination, a vision, and some books are truly magnificent in capturing that vision and transferring it into words that can take you on a journey that you not only feel but can see in your mind’s eye.
Without Consequence does this without question.
It is written with such depth and imagination that I could place myself in ‘The Hut’ and hope to the hot MC gods that Drew picked me for a lifetime of badass biker naughtiness.

Roll up Roll up ladies! You want, no you NEED to meet Drew Tucker.
The book opens with Drew, he’s leaving prison and he’s got a lot to prove, a death to avenge and an MC family to reclaim. Read the prologue and you’ll be hooked…
Chapter one gives us Ayda and Tate! Ayda is 10 years her brothers’ senior and his guardian after they are both orphaned. They have no money and Ayda works 2 jobs to enable Tate to stay in school, she’s tough, sassy and not wallowing in the crappy hand she has been dealt.

I think this one fell apart at about 50% for me. I stayed with it, but really wish I'd just given it up.
Too much just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I think the writing sound [no big grammatical or spelling issues], but the story development, or rather the execution is sorely lacking. I liked the characters until I didn't. Some of what they did or said was just beyond stupid. At about 70% they completely lost their minds and any credibility I afforded to them flew ...more

Without Consequence by new author Victoria L. James and L.J. Stock just "Drew" me in from page one. This is not a light hearted tale of man meets woman and it's BAM by any means. No this story is as raw as they come which is why for the life of me I was so drawn to it from start to finish.

Great book! I read a lot of MC books, and when I say a lot, I really mean A LOT. I love them. Granted, some more than others. This one grabbed me from the beginning and did not let go. This is not the type of MC book where the TSTL heroine falls for the hot dirty talking manwhore biker, they fuck like rabbits every 2 pages, and there is really no storyline except that he is a possessive biker fixated on fucking our TSTL heroine and making her his property. I am not saying that there is anything

OMG!! If this book is not on your to be read list, put it on there!! The collaboration of Victoria L James and L J Stock is amazing! I was sucked in from page one and didn't want the book to end. The moment Drew Tucker opened his mouth, I was in love. The way the characters interacted with each other was so natural and the picture these authors paint, you feel like you're there. Kudos to both authors! I cant wait for book two!! Watch out ladies, there's a new book boyfriend in your future!!

Oh dear, I got all excited as the book began with so much promise. There was not enough description of characters so as you read you could not picture the characters, the story line could have been awesome but the way it was written just did not do it for me :(

I am not a huge MC theme fan. I have read too many stories that sex was the main plot in the book and any twist and turns usually ended up back in the bed or the graveyard so I was curious to see how I would like this book.
