He’s the scorned President of the Heaven’s Rejects. She’s the widow of his best friend and former Vice-President. He shouldn’t want her, but he’ll move heaven and earth to have her.

Left alone as a new widow to raise her family, Darcy Kyle’s life has spiraled out of control. When secrets about her husband’s past emerge, she is forced to confront the fact that her husband’s fatal accident may in fact, have been deliberate. Forced to sell her soul to the Devil himself, Darcy must uncover the truth of her husband’s accident…before it’s too late.

Cast into Hell, Raze has given his life as the President of the Heaven’s Rejects, but what good is it when he can’t protect the people he cares about?

But even the Devil has a weakness, and when Darcy Kyle sticks her nose in the club’s business, he finds himself questioning his loyalty to his brother’s memory.

How can the Devil resist an angel bathed in the ashes of the fallen?

ANGELS & ASHES: This is spoken in Dual Perspectives (Raze & Darcy)

You don't need to read the previous book to get the jist of the story line with this book. Though there is a cross over with the characters from BOOK#1.

In the blink of an eye everything that was right in Darcy's world changed from this day onwards, straight away you're thrust into the heartbreaking reality of what Darcy's life is to become, Raze from the Heaven's Reject a local MC, is given the task to inform her that her husband Brent aka Jagger won't be coming home, a road side accident ended one of their own too soon, losing her husband, widowed and left raising two small children on her own with an unborn child on the way is more than Darcy can comprehend.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic How is it even possible that my husband is dead
He left this morning with a smile on his face
There's no way in fucking hell that he's dead.


Darcy loved her husband with everything she had, with his passing he left a huge gap in her very existence, the only thing that kept her going was the disbelief that his death was a cover up and she strives to get to the bottom of it.

They'd found his bike wrecked, by the time the ambulance got to the scene, he was already gone.

A fallen brother, a road side accident, or was it something more sinister?

Darcy is set on seeking the truth

Image and video hosting by TinyPic They say that there are five stages to grief
But to me there is only one.
Revenge.


Two neat rows of his brothers are lined up behind the family car
ready to give him a final salute.
Time for one last ride, my brother.

ONE YEAR LATER

A letter from Darcy's deceased husband is left stuck to her door, urging her to go to their old apartment, seek what he's left there and pass it on to Raze.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Betrayal, Revenge, Blood shed

Darcy's quest to seek the truth is still as strong as ever one year later, Raze carries a lot of guilt on his shoulders and is still coming to terms with the death of his brother in arms and the ultimate betrayal closer to home makes for one nail biting read.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Raze had promised Jagger that he would look after his family if anything ever happened to him. In the process though he never expected to fall in love with her.
And after everything Raze's ex wife put him through he's not looking for another woman to rip his heart to shreds, but Darcy might be that woman, and maybe just maybe he is ready to take that leap of faith again with her.

But is she ready to move on from Jagger?

An off the charts turbo charged attraction between Raze & Darcy will have you glued to your devices to see how it all pans out.

This is a brilliant read. It’s got a brilliant storyline with wonderful characters.

I totally loved Darcy. Such a strong feisty character. She blames the club for her husbands death and she wants revenge. Raze is fighting his own battle as he learns who he can and cannot trust.

Another fast paced story with great twists and turns. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Angels and ashes, ghosts and graveyards...

After reading the synopsis, I knew that Darcy would end up a widow, so it made the beginning of the book a heartbreaking read as I had to experience the loss with her. I struggled a little with her reasoning and actions in the following year, but I guess grief can be blamed for her bold behavior following years of marital meekness. Her husband, Jagger, kept her at their home, and away from the clubhouse for the most part. Therefore; she didn't have a close relationship with the Heaven's Rejects MC family. When she lost her husband, her anger was directed at them.

I must admit to suffering from a serious case of #CoverLust, when Angels and Ashes was revealed. It was very nice to have that image in my head as I was reading about Raze, the club president. Not only is he a very sexy badass biker, he's the boss. He's used to giving orders and having them followed. Too bad that Darcy didn't get that memo. She's full of rage and when he pushes, she pushes back. And guess what? That just turns him on even more. He's been hiding his lust for her from the moment he first saw her, knowing that she belonged to his brother. He would never disrespect her or Jagger by admitting or doing anything about those feelings, but he couldn't stop them. She was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. It was much easier to hide those feelings when he rarely saw her, but that's not the case now. She spends more time at the clubhouse now than she did when her husband was alive.

Darcy is sticking her nose where it's most definitely going to get her in trouble, but she can't let it go. Her children were robbed of the chance to get to know their father. She was left alone to raise them. And nobody will answer her questions. So, she's decided she's going to keep digging until she finds out the truth about her husband's death. While being at the clubhouse is a painful reminder of her loss, it's also her best chance of learning what she wants to know, one way or another.

What fun I had watching the sparks fly between Raze & Darcy. He brought out a side of her nobody had seen before and they weren't fooling anyone by pretending that they weren't attracted to each other. It was a slow burn as I suffered through the sexual tension as they hid their admiring glances and occasionally got caught ogling each other. I wanted to lock them in a room together and force them to put me out of my misery. And once they finally did, I locked myself in with them, and it was quite a show (wink-wink).

And that's not all the entertainment. Nope, the club business escalated as Darcy uncovers some information that brings some of Jagger's secrets to light. There's a lot more going on than anyone was previously aware of and his death was only the beginning of the club chaos that is in store for the Heaven's Rejects. As Raze struggles to deal with the death of his brother, and the details of his wife's betrayal that keeps getting worse as more and more facts are uncovered, he wants nothing more than that which he cannot have... her. But how is he supposed to get over it when danger comes calling and they keep getting thrown together. He's determined to protect her, to keep her close, so he can watch over her. I'm sure that's the only reason he wants her close, right? As the suspense began to build I found myself questioning who all the players were, trying to determine who could be trusted. The author gave me a few clues, just enough to drive me crazy while I tried to figure it all out. Forcing me to provide unsolicited advice to all the characters as they worked to keep their families safe and end the threat against them. I got a mental workout as the climatic events gradually unfolded, forcing me to keep reading way past my bedtime. Sleep is overrated when there is club business to be handled, right? And speaking of club business, let's talk about Voodoo. I have a big crush on him and I'm really really hoping that the author plans to give him his own book. Being a techie myself, I totally dig all his gadgets. I'm looking forward to more in this series. The line forms here...

Let me settle the score so everyone knows…. Raze is MINE! BOOM I claimed him. Ms. Paige took me on a wild and crazy ride with this book. My heart was pounding, palms sweating, feet jumping up and down, I screamed a few times, and yes I have to admit I cried… she definitely pulled on my heartstrings on more than one occasion.

Darcy’s whole world is ripped apart in the blink of an eye. One minute she has the perfect loving family and the next her husband is taken leaving her with two soon to be three children to take care of. She has no one to blame but the club and believe me she turns all her frustrations on them. Darcy has turned off her feelings or at least she tries. There is a certain biker that she is having dirty thoughts about and she is doing everything she can to push those feelings aside. Will Darcy let Raze be the man to fix her or has everything she thought she knew a complete lie?

Raze blames him self for what happened to his brother. Not only is he dealing with a death on his own property, but a lying, cheating, and betraying wife that left his world turned upside down. Raze isn’t looking for another woman to rip his heart to shreds, but Darcy makes him question everything. Is Darcy the woman to change Raze’s whole world or is she just his next bed warmer to pass the time?

I loved this book. Darcy is a badass who doesn’t take shit off anyone. She doesn’t need a man to take care of her, and is hell bent on proving it. Raze is a total alpha male in every way. Dirty mouth check, badass biker check, cocky prick check BUT he is also a total sweetheart that made me swoon and drool a few times. One part in particular with Raze bare-chested with a sleeping baby… panties melted right off. Ms. Paige threw in some twists and turns that threw me for a loop. There are also secrets… lots and lots of secrets that I didn’t see coming. Even though Jagger is no longer living, he still managed to steal my heart even from the grave. I love this series and I can’t wait to see what she brings next. Oh and one more thing… Raze is MINE!

Angels and Ashes (Heavens Rejects MC 2)
Avelyn Paige
5 stars

This is a really great second book to the Heavens Rejects series. You meet Raze in the first book and I love that we catch up with all of our MC family and friends. This is the story of Raze and Darcy. I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out because the first couple of chapters are heartbreaking but then you realize that the story is going to be a true tale of a hard love. When I say hard I mean in the emotional sense and the mountains to climb to get there.

Darcy Kyle loved her husband with everything she was. Her boys both adored their father but tragedy has left her alone along with her husband not knowing about the baby they were blessed with. Brent “Jagger” Kyle lived and died by the MC … the MC she vows to get revenge on and find out what really happened to her husband.

Michael “Raze” is the president of the Heavens Rejects. He has never had a harder task than telling his brothers wife that he is gone. He made a promise to project Jagger’s widow a long time ago. But her attitude is going to get her killed. Raze loves his wife but there has never been a more beautiful woman than Darcy. When trouble enters into Raze’s life turning it upside down Darcy and he may never be the same.

There is so much going on in this book. I fell in love with the characters once again and couldn’t be happier that we are intermixed with Dani and Hero (book one – Heaven Sent). Voodoo, Tyson, Ratchet, Irons … yup they are all here. I don’t know what is next but I am looking forward to finding out. There is good in this series; men who love their women and families, suspense, battles between getting where you want to be with those families and loyalty.

Avelyn is a fantastic writer. The web she weaves leaves you turning the pages and saying just one more chapter. If you are up for an MC read that doesn’t have a ton of brutal or blood ridden scenes then this is your series. There is a deep connection between the brothers of the Heavens Rejects --- this is going to keep getting better and better!

Thank you Avelyn for the ARC! I loved every minute. The cover is spectacular with the deep blue and Alfie’s a perfect image of Raze. Two Fallen angels finding their way back to heaven …. Beautiful …

Review of Angels and Ashes (Heaven’s Rejects MC #2) by Avelyn Paige

Review done for Hooked on Books & CherryOBlossom Promotions

5 out of 5 stars

Darcy Kyle has lost her husband due to something that the Heaven’s Rejects MC has been up to. She has never liked that part of Jagger’s life but she put up with it for him. Now she is left with two little boys and a new born on the way. She is devastated and is determined to get revenge.

Raze has been trying to turn his MC around. He wants it to be legit and focus on non-illegal things. Unfortunately someone close to him is trying to destroy everything.

When Raze had to break the news to Darcy about her husband, he didn’t know what to expect. He promised Jagger that he would look after his family if something ever happened to him. What he didn’t expect was to fall in love with Darcy.

It has been a long time coming, but Darcy is ready to move ahead with her plans. She didn’t count on Raze trying to stop her. Their back and forth bickering has only fueled their lustful feelings towards each other. Even though both feel wrong about it, they can’t stop the pull toward each other.

This was a fantastic MC book. It is filled with suspense, violence, and dirt sex. This book was a little tamer than others I have read, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. It kept me engaged throughout the book.

I definitely recommend this book to read!

I haven't read the first book in the series, but this on came up on my facebook feed and interested me.

I really enjoyed it. It was heartbreaking at times, but what great love story isn't - yes love story, because to me that's what this is. Those freaking letters slayed me. I think I'll go back and read book 1 now.
November 22, 2017
I liked this one a lot, especially because it had a H-h plot line that is not common for MC books. Yes, there was a cartel - when isn't there one these days in MC books? But the two leads were smart adults who thought of others before themselves, and that's unusual as well. In addition, there was MC business to take care of, smexiness, a few surprises, and lots of kids.

I wish I had read this one before the first one in this series because I almost didn't even continue after that first one. I try to read new MC authors, and I am glad I gave this author a second chance. I will probably continue on with the series now.

Thanks for reading!

description

Angels and Ashes by Avelyn Paige was a great 5 star read.

The beginning of the book was very heartbreaking. Just when Darcy feels like she has everything she could ever want, loving husband and children,she get’s terrible news about her husband. Darcy knows there is more to what Raze is sharing and vows to seek answers about who took her husband from her and she plans to start with the club.

Raze is the president of the club and had to break the news to Darcy. He is also is dealing with a cheating and lying wife and has sworn off women. Until Darcy, there is something about her that he is attracted to. As things move forward he struggles with his feelings. Could these two beat all the odds and come together? Will Darcy find what she is looking for?

Avelyn Paige does a great job of pulling you right in. Darcy and Raze were a great pair, both are strong willed and refuse to back down. There are secrets, danger and twists that will leave you thinking WTH. Raze was a hard as nails biker but he also had a great soft side, especially with the children. I loved him! I really enjoyed Angels and Ashes and highly suggest you 1-click and get started today. Thank you!

A second & third chance story

This story over laps the first in this series - Heaven Sent. In Heaven Sent we witness the death of Jagger and the aftermath that happens for the club, his wife Darcy and Raze(Michael) the Club President.

Picking up around 8 months or so later, we find Darcy still bitter and angry towards the club and Raze for being the cause of Jagger's death. She is determined to find out who caused his death and make them pay. She is also doing her best to raise their boys, and the daughter that arrived after Jagger's death.

Raze is trying to put himself and the club back together after the death of Jagger, one of the founding members, and the betrayal of his wife - both in the marriage bed and to the club. He also is determined to do as Jagger ask and take care of his family.

Darcy receives a letter from Jagger that puts her on a search for clues to the fact that there is a traitor in the club - this letter sends her on a fast trip to Tijuana. Raze follows to find out what she is up to and confronts her and takes the package that Jagger had hidden is his old apartment and follows her back.

The package that Jagger left leads back to Mexico and the cartel, that the club has been fighting against being involved with. In the mean time Raze & Darcy's relationship heats up - seriously some pretty great tension. They both struggle with what they feel like is betrayal to Jagger ... (I'll leave you to find out the rest for yourself)

I enjoyed the characters and their stories. Darcy was feisty and determined to solve her problems and the drama around Jagger's death on her own. Sometimes that lead to her doing some pretty stupid stuff - but I kinda got that she felt she wouldn't be allowed to do it if she let Raze & the club help.

Raze was determined to protect Darcy and her kids. This led to some pretty silly OTT times - but it did set up a pretty good push pull in their relationship. Loved how Raze couldn't fight what he felt for Darcy, he wasn't a pushover for her, but he did soften.

Definitely felt the connection between the main MCs - and of course added to the yummy, sexy scenes. I loved how Darcy never denied her love for Jagger, but found a new relationship with Raze that encompassed all that had been as well as the future.

"Sometimes, the most beautiful things come out of the ashes of destruction." "We live through the pain as a reminder that each happy day that we are granted on this Earth is something we need to cherish."

I'm hoping that there will be at least one more in this series - it seems like the author is setting that up with Rachet & Ricca.

In received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Darcy Kyle finds herself suddenly widowed due to an accident that she just doesn't believe is an accident. Her husband was in a MC and the story just doesn't add up to her and she wants to know exactly how and shy her husband died. Raising her two boys and with a daughter her husband never even knew was coming Darcy is determined to be the best mom and have nothing to do with the MC she does the best she can. Strong, determined, and stopping at nothing to get to the truth Darcy finds herself facing the man she considers the enemy. Now to figure out too why the heck is her body reacting to him?

Raze is the President of the Heaven's Rejects MC. His life is devoted to his club and his brothers. Losing his former VP and best friend Jagger Raze is determined to protect Darcy and her children at all cost. Raze has been betrayed in the worst way by his wife, his best friend is murdered snd Darcy refuses to stop looking for answers. Darcy....his brothers wife. The woman who he wants more than anything in the world. How will things ever be the way there suppose to be again ever?

This is my first book by Avelyn Paige. She has absolutely blown me away. It's amazing and I immediately went and got the first book to read because I am hooked. Darcy is one of the strongest female characters I think I've ever read. She's not afraid to get to the answers W she needs and will burn down the world to get them. Raze is an alpha male at its finest and I love this guy. He's all tough and protective and has a side that will absolutely melt you. Put the two of them together and your world will never be the same again,

If your a MC book lover like I am this book is a must read. You do not want to miss this series. If your not much into the whole MC world though you still need to give this book a chance because it's absolutely amazing. Everyone needs a little Raze in their lives. Trust me you don't want to miss this book

Carla's Five Star Review

Angels and Ashes is the second book in the Heaven's Rejects MC series, and it is the story of Raze and Darcy. While this can be read as a stand alone, I would suggest reading the first book in the series, Heaven Sent, before reading this one.

Darcy Kyle had the perfect life. She had a husband who adored her, two precious sons, and a daughter on the way. Life was great! But fate? She can be a real bitch. One minute you have it all, and the next minute you are knocked on your ass. Darcy is smart enough to know that her husband Jagger's death was not an accident and more than likely related to the club. She is hell bent on finding the truth and exacting some sweet revenge.

Raze is the president of the Heaven's Rejects MC, and he has devoted his life to his club. After dealing with a two timing wife and the loss of Jagger, one of his club brothers, he is just a shell of the man he once was. He is angry and bitter. He hates the way his body responds to Jagger's widow, but he can't just cut her out of his life. He made a promise to Jagger to protect his family, and Raze doesn't break his word-ever. Is it possible for these two damaged souls to come together and embrace the future, or is happiness simply not in the cards for them?

Avelyn Paige has hit a home run with this series! Darcy was one of the strongest female leads I have ever encountered while reading! She is like a pitbull going after what she wants with gusto! She has no trouble kicking ass and taking names! And Raze? Well, he could not have been more perfect! I love me a strong alpha male with a dirty mouth, and he fit that bill to a "T". This book is filled with so much danger and so many secrets, your head will be left spinning! If you are a huge MC fan like me, you are sure to love this series!

Darcy Kyle is a widow who is trying to raise her kids and wants nothing to do with the MC her husband was a part of. However she doesn't believe that husband's accident was actually an accident and she wants answers. So she seeks out the enemy only to have a reaction to the man that she didn't expect.
Raze is the Heaven's Rejects MC President and is determined to protect his former VP and best friend's family at any cost. Raze is lost within his own guilt, grief, and regret. He blames himself and his decisions for the things that have happened with the his MC as well as the war with the cartel. On top of all of that is face with his own feelings for Darcy.

This was the perfect MC book! Raze was totally alpha male and just what you would expect an MC President to be yet has this soft side that you can't help but adore when he shows it. Darcy is awesome! she is willing to burn the whole world down for her answers while protecting her children.

I gave this book 5 Stars!

Go ahead and grab a box of tissues for the first few chapters and the last few chapters of this book. It's filled with so much emotion through out the whole book but these chapters will have you crying like a baby. I absolutely love Michael (Raze) and Darcy they bring so much fire and ice to this book that your Kindle will be burning up one minute and next icy cold the next. This storyline is hard one to come to grips with with all of the loss and tragedy that these two face, but then you have sweet revenge that happens that so makes this story.

Darcy has lost the love of her life. She know in her heart that her husband didn't have a motorcycle accident, and is bound and determine to get revenge. Raze is the club president and knows the truth about Darcy husbands death. He can't tell Darcy because it's club business. Raze has conflict of interest when he starts having feelings for Darcy. When the truth comes out can these two be comfort to each other or will it be the end?

I have read a lot of MC books and this has been one of the best I have read in a while.

Five Swooning Stars! This is the second book in the Heaven's Rejects MC and can be read as a stand-alone novel. Darcy has the perfect family one minute and the next her husband is taken from her and she is left with three children. Darcy doesn't believe the story she is told about her husband's death and is hell bent on finding the truth and knows she needs to start with Raze, the president of the Heaven's Rejects MC. Raze has devoted his life to the club, now dealing with the loss of one of his brothers he finds himself having feelings for his brothers' widow, Darcy. Can it be possible for these two damaged souls to find happiness together? The author has written an amazing story and series so far!

Can this tittle be even more enigmatic? What's the first thing that crosses your mind when you read it? My first thought was Darkness.
Knowing this author like I already do I know it will be a masterpiece and I will adore it but I'm nervous. I know it's insane but I am.
Have you read any book from the Heaven's Rejects MC series yet? If you have you know why I'm nervous but if you don't I advise you to do so because it's preferable to read all books in order and then dig into this one.
Angels and Ashes is the second book from this series and Dayum... What a book.
This book explores the lifes of Darcy and Raze.
Darcy was left alone to raise her kids when her husband died. She refuses to believe that it was an accident like her club said it was. One year after his death she receives a letter in his handwriting and now she's certain. When she decides to find out what happened...
Raze is the President for the Heaven's Rejects MC and he had a ruff start. Now, years had passed and he's happy running his club but when a close friend, his former VP, is killed he just wants to take matters into his own hands but he wasn't expecting Darcy to get in the way...
And I can't say more... I can't...
If I thought that the first two books were amazing let me just say that I'm stunned...
Dayum this book is breathtaking. It's intriguing, it's intense... You name it.
The plot is amazing, super engaging and detailed, full of meaning and suspense and so much more. Jesus... I'm trying to find words to describe this book...
This story is full of drama, darkness, betrayal, crime as well as second chances, love, loyalty and respect.
Each scene left me breathless and nervous at the same time.
Oh Avelyn... What can I say.? I really loved this book and I want more. Please...

this book was given to me for an honest review

4 stars.

I was totally caught up with this book as soon as I read the first chapter. Bikers seem to live in a world of their own, but what was nice about how this started you saw a glance of their home life. What Darcy and Brent created. With two boys and a surprise on the way, I couldn't' wait to keep on reading. I loved how in this story Darcy used the men's first names and not their nicknames, because it meant more. The connection between Darcy and Brent and Darcy and Michael were so strong that you felt the passion through out the book. Darcy is a very strong woman, and being part of the biker world she had to be. What happens to her family in the beginning is heart breaking. Learning to live without love has to be one of the hardest things someone has to do. Darcy knows she was told a lies when Brent died. She wants to know why and who, but Michael is keeping that a secret. He doesn't want her to hurt. So what does any woman do? She goes and finds some answers from an unlikely allie. She starts to put pieces together to revenge her husband's death. What she comes to learn is that Michael is not going to let her go on herself. Michael is the president of the club and he has been hiding a secret from Darcy for forever. He never risks telling her because she doesn't need to know everything about Brent's death. When Michael's feelings come into play he realizes it may be harder to stay away from her than he thought. They are sent down a road of discovery. Not only to find out if they can be together, but to find out what secrets are hidden so far away that no one would have ever expected. You take in every chapter, because each chapter teaches you something new and makes you discover that finding truths might destroy you in the long run.


There is so much to tell you about this book, but I need to keep my mouth shut, because if you are anything like me, you will jump farther and farther down this book, and when you think you have discovered everything, you find out that its just another part of the story that has been crafted into the story line to make you want to find out more and to get to the bottom of the story. All the characters in this book are more than amazing, they show apart of the story that couldn't have been written without those characters. They way everyone is used in the book makes it that much more enjoyable. I love seeing the interaction with Darcy and Michael. From what they were to what they become, seems more and more desirable as we go onto the book. The more you read the more you learn about what happened in the past and what leads up to the future. It is action packed, there is really not a moment of down time.

Enjoying this book from a new author was a great end of my week. Reading new authors is always a great feeling. To find someone new to read books from and love. Couldn't have asked for more. I hope to see more from this author.

Abandoned & Broken

Left alone to raise a family, widow Darcy Kyle’s life has spiraled out of control. When secrets about her husband’s past emerge, Darcy is forced to confront the fact her husband’s fatal accident may, in fact, have been deliberate. Forced to sell her soul to the Devil himself, Darcy must uncover the truth of her husband’s accident…before it’s too late.

Betrayed & Bitter

Cast into Hell, Raze has given his life as President of the Heaven’s Rejects MC, but what good is it when he can’t protect the people he cares about? His brother’s death, his wife’s betrayal… it’s too much for a mere mortal to handle. Luckily for Raze, he is the ruler of this Hell on Earth. But even the Devil has a weakness, and when Darcy Kyle sticks her nose in the club’s business he finds himself questioning his loyalty to his brother’s memory.

How can the Devil resist an angel bathed in the ashes of the fallen?


Review:
“Each moment our lips are intertwined, I can feel his heart pounding in his chest, matching in rhythm to my own. His lips part and his tongue breaks my pursed seal and invades my mouth.”

5 Raze stars! Another great book in the series, I’m hooked!!

Darcy is a grieving widow, looking for answers regarding her husband’s death. And when his dark past starts to reveal itself, she starts to realize that his “accident” may not have been an accident. She turns to the Heaven’s Rejects MC and ends up in the arms of Raze, while seeking the truth. But is she willing to deal with what really happened? Is she ready to deal with the man standing in front of her?

I loved the whole idea of this book!! The characters were well development and I loved reading about their pasts. I have been hooked on this series since I read book one and this book has pulled me even further in!!! Can’t wait for more

"I bring my own destruction, and it's by my own hand that I kill and destroy everything in my path. I promise you that I will fix this."

Paying the ultimate price for his loyalty to the MC, Jagger knowingly risked his life to unearth the traitor in his club. Getting too close cost him his last breath, leaving behind nothing but heart ache and bitterness. His widow, Darcy, has sworn she will not rest until she has avenged him. Dwelling in the shadows of his death Darcy is angry, with the choices Jagger made and the club she blames for her pain. A year after his death his final words to her set in motion a chain of events that lead her onto a path filled with vengeance, blood and pain but will it also be her redemption?

Raze is lost in the depths of his responsibility and regret. Blaming his decisions, his choices for the betrayal of his MC and the ongoing cartel war they now face. He believes the cost is too high as too many brothers have paid the price for the club with their blood. Following the widow of the latest member to lose his life for the MC unearths some vital information that leads to the mastermind of the whole debacle...

Everybody wants to rule the world. Some will go to any lengths for it. Raze faces the stark truth that not everyone is as loyal as he believed, not everyone is motivated by brotherhood and a sense of belonging. The bonds of chosen brotherhood are only as strong as the weakest link which unfortunately is so easily persuaded by the promise of power and wealth. Throughout this story Darcy struggles with her immediate reaction to Raze. Suffering whiplash from her dizzying alternate feelings for him she is an emotional mess. As for Raze he rationalises his attraction to her knowing she is forbidden fruit yet too tempted not to take a bite! Can they overcome the ghost of a much loved brother and husband to find their own happiness once again or will they forever be anchored in the past? Angel and Ashes is a passionate story of second chances and touching foresight that made me shed a tear or two. It's a fantastic read that is well paced and filled with twists and turns that I did not see coming. Darcy is hard to love to begin with as she is so angry and bitter, understandable due to the circumstances, but she grew on me. Raze is adorable...he may be a rough tough biker President bit underneath it all he just wants to be loved.

A four star who is the traitor read.

Angels and Ashes is the second book in Heaven Rejects MC.. Angels and Ashes can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read Heaven Sent first. Only so you can get the full story of this wonderful series. Trust me once you start this book you will not put it down.

Let me start with swoon worthy Raze!!! Holy mother of all men. He is one the best Alpha males I have ever encountered in a book. Raze has the tough job of running Heavens Rejects MC. He has been dealt a bad hand by losing one of his own brother's, Jagger. Raze also learns that his wife isn't who he thought she was. He tries to piece his life back together after the loss of them both. He also tries to fight the feelings he has for Jaggers widow, Darcy. He has promised to keep them safe but does that include falling in love with her?

Darcy has lost her husband by the hands of the MC. She mourns his death in ever way she possibly could. She is angry, she is hurt, and she seeks nothing but the truth of how her husband died. But one thing she can't fight is the feelings she has for the club pres, Raze. She allows him in to learn that again, everything was a lie. Can they fix the damage that has been done to live a happy life. She allow the promise that Raze has made to keep her and her family safe?


Avelyn Paige is one hell of a writer. And she has introduced me to one of the best MC series I have EVER read. Darcy is the best written lead female character I have met. And Raze just topped all alpha males in any book I have ever read.
This book will bring you to tears, make you laugh, and make you wish that the man in your life was Raze. However, even from the grave Jagger will melt your heart.
Its ok I can take on both LOL. well with a dose of Darcy on the side.
This book was phenomenal!!!!
100 stars for one of the best MC books ever written!!!

This is my first book by Avelyn Paige and I wasn't sorry! It was an excellent story line and super hot characters. Darcy is married to a member of Heaven's Rejects MC. They're raising two boys together and she has yet to tell him about the baby on the way. She isn't a fan of the MC, and certainly not a fan of Raze. When he tells her of her husband's accident, she doesn't believe for a second that he's telling her the truth.
Raze doesn't trust easily. He doesn't think a woman has any business in club business. He's dealing with the death of his best friend and brother as well as the betrayal of his ex. He finds himself drawn to Darcy, but he can't possibly be with her. He doesn't think he's good enough not to mention she's his brothers girl.
Raze was so damn hot. I think the only thing I didn't like was him not being honest with Darcy about Jagger's death. It was more about club business then her knowing the truth. He thought he was doing it to protect her but he was hurting her in the process. He has his way of dealing with things. Although they may not always be right, he feels his reasons are good enough.
I loved Darcy's spirit and strength. She was determined to get the truth no matter what. She's very attracted to Raze as the time goes on but she won't act on it, it's wrong after all. How can you want someone you hate? She's puts herself on the line to get answers. Darcy was an amazing character and the perfect fit for Raze. She didn't take any crap from him and demanded to be treated equally. In the end, everyone needs a little saving.
This book was so well written and full of twists, turns and surprises. I love the dual pov and the writing was amazing. Even though it was book two, I didn't feel like I was missing out on any part of the story. I love that I've found another amazing author and I definitely look forward to reading more form her!

Avelyn has outdone herself. She wrote a book that will have your heart aching from the emotional roller coaster that you are about to embark on with this book. I thought Heaven Sent was amazing but man with this book she really knocked it out of the ball park. My heart wasn't sure if it wanted to shatter from devastation, clench from the angst, or pound out of my chest from the suspense. Needless to say you will need to buckle your seatbelts to ride this ride.

Darcy had a near perfect life until one day that all come crashes down. She has had a tough year but she is a fighter and has been filled with so many emotions. She is determined not to let her kids see it all but inside she is devastated, feeling deceived because she knows she hasn't gotten the truth, angry at the MC and she is feeling the need to get revenge to the one responsible. While all this is going on she is confused but the sudden attraction that she has for Raze. She wants to hate him because she knows he's lying but he turns her on like no one else.

Raze is the MC president and he has had a horrible year. Not only is he feeling the loss as well but he feels guilt for it as well. He wants to protect Darcy but she is filled with so much anger towards the MC. He finds out she is on a mission to get answers and he wants to protect her, its MC business and it isn't for her to know. He doesn't know what to do with the crazy attraction he has for her because he knows that she can't stand the MC and feels like they are at fault.

What will he do? Does he want her for one night or does he want more? Who is responsible for everything that has happened? Will they get to the bottom of it?

If you are a fan of MC romances then this is the book for you. Avelyn has a gift for writing stories that will have you completely immersed in the book and the story. I highly recommend reading this book and Heaven Sent as well. I don't think you will be disappointed at all.

I received this for a honest review. This book is a standalone so you do not have to read the first book to know what is going on. This makes the second book I have read of Avelyn Paige’s books and I have to say each book has be so amazing. I do have to say this book will put you on a huge emotions roller coaster. Sometimes you will find yourself wanting to cry and others you will find yourself enjoying the hot and steamy parts. FYI, have a box of tissue close by.

Darcy had suffered a great loss. She hated the MC for the loss of her husband. She wanted nothing to do with them. The night she had lost the love of her life was the night she had enough. There was nothing they could do to bring back her husband. Now here she was with two kids to raise and a baby on the way.

Raze who was the President of the MC hated more then anything to tell Darcy the news of her husband’s death. Raze refused to tell Darcy the truth of what had happen. Ever time she asked he just told her he was in an accident and to let it go. He should of known that Darcy would never let it go. But truthfully, would you?

I do love how Raze and the MC kept and eye on Darcy. Raze had some feelings for her that he buried due to who she was. So he was more protective of her them most of the other brothers. He hated seeing the pain that she was in and he hated it more to find out that she had a kid on the way. Raze knew what it was like to be a single parent. He would do anything to help her but the problem was Darcy did not want his help.

Darcy will find herself in some serious danger as she tries to uncover the death of her husband. She will also find herself falling for a man she wants to hate. There is so much that is going on in this book that you will stay on the edge of your seat. I am so loving the series and can not wait to see what happens next.

Ooooh boy, do we see Pandora's Box opened in this book! Wow. This is the second book of the Heaven's Rejects MC. We are following Darcy after the death of Jagger. We're seeing things from her point of view. We're also seeing Raze's story after Maj, his now ex-wife, is gone. About a year after Jagger dies, an envelope in his handwriting is taped to Darcy's door. What does it say? What does she do when she reads it, even though she's on lockdown? Who does Dani call? What's going on with Hero and Dani? Who does Darcy turn to in order to get information about Jagger and the club that she cannot get from anywhere else? When that same person goes to Raze, the Prez of the club, what does he tell Raze? What do Raze and Ratchet do at Raze's home after that? Why does Raze head into Mexico with 4-5 other brothers? What is going on that they're looking into? What does Darcy find out about Jagger that she's now being kept at the club without the club knowing she knows it? This trulyl is a book about Pandora's Box and Murphy's Law that if anything can go wrong it will and at the worst possible moment. You're going to have to read this book to see everything that happens. Will Darcy get her revenge? Will Raze get the girl? Will he be able to move on from Maj? Can ghosts be put to rest? Can they figure out exactly what is going on and fix it? Read and find out!

(5 stars)

Book 2 in the Heaven's Rejects MC series is based around club president, Raze and Darcy; the widow to the former VP, Jagger.

After Jagger was murdered, Raze told Darcy that it was a bike accident that took her husband's life. However, not believing what she sees as an obvious lie, Darcy will not just let it go until she gets answers to what happened to him.

Raze just wants to protect his club, protect his family, and these days he's finding himself also wanting to protect Darcy, and not just for his fallen brother.

These two were a great couple to read about. Her tenacity in her pursuit of the truth was admirable, especially when faced with some big brawny bikers in her way. Her interactions with Raze were equal parts fiery and humourous as Raze tried his hardest not to just take her the way he wanted to. I can understand her feeling guilty when she realises she has feelings for Raze, it's "only" been a year since her hubby died, but I thought the whole relationship and her emotions regarding it all were written really well.

The story kept it's pace nicely, there weren't any "filler" bits as it moved between things happening; even when it was daily stuff, there was always something happening in the background, all leading up to the big exciting showdown at the end. I have to admit, I did figure out one of the surprises before it was revealed, but the other one I was not expecting.

I really enjoyed Angels & Ashes and it gets 5 stars from me. I can't wait to see who will get a story next. I'm hoping it will be Ratchet!

5 FABULOUS STARS!!!

Losing a spouse is hard, especially when you have small children and are pregnant. Darcy know first hand how that feels. Her husband Jagger was taken too soon by a tragic accident. Or so she thought! However, she doesn't believe she is being told the truth about how he died and will tear apart Heaven and Hell to find the truth. She is out for more than justice, she is out for revenge and nothing or no one will stop her. Not even Rage or the MC
Will Darcy find out the truth? Will she get her revenge? Will Darcy be able to move on in her life with just her children? Will she be able to let Jagger go and find love again?

This was my first book by this author, as well as my first MC read. To be honest with you, this is not my style of book, but I greatly enjoyed it. I love a book that I can connect with on an emotional level. Reading Darcy's story, her love, her pain, her anger, these emotions were expressed in great detail, that I could literally feel how she was feeling.
I know there are spoilers in other reviews, but I don't want to give anything away and that is hard to do, because I loved this book and think everyone should read this series. However, I will say: There it love, betrayal, murder, revenge and so much more in this book, that you are bound to like (in my case) at least some part, if not all of this book. Originally, I received an arc copy of this book in I loved this book so much, I bought it. I will definitely be purchasing the first book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Wow what a great second book to Heaven's Rejects MC. This is simply amazing. I had wanted to know what happens to Raze and how Darcy deals with her grief, and was surprised through whole book. It was written so beautifully, it made my heart hurt with the grief.
We meet Raze, who is the President of Heaven Rejects MC. He is trying to change the club for the better, after his father died. His life gets turned upside down when his wife Maj, sold out Dani to her step brother for money. He is trying to deal with the grief of losing one of his brothers Jagger. He is trying to be there for his widow but also fighting his feelings. Everything comes to ahead when more deceit of his wife comes to light.
We meet Darcy, she is now a single mother of three. Her life got turned upside down when her husband Brent aka Jagger died. She is hell bent on finding out how he really died, since she knows for sure it wasn't a motorcycle accident, since his bike did not have a dent or a scratch. While trying to find out the truth, she finds out more than she wants to and has to share with Raze even though she blames the club. Her life gets turned upside down when she finds a letter on her door.
Will Darcy find out the truth about Jaggers death? What other things did Maj do to the club without Raze knowing? Will Darcy take Jaggers advice and love again?
This story is about grief and revenge. But also has love and forgiveness in it. I couldn't help but fall in love with the characters even more. WTMO
