Skulls Renegade MC #9
Reclusive
Trick
When I was on the inside I found my faith again. I only found my faith because it helped lessened my sentence and let's be real - no one wants to be in the slammer.
My priest told me that an angel would come to me, that she would help guide me through many trials and tribulations.
Imagine my surprise when a woman named Angel comes barreling into my life.
She's not perfect, but neither am I.
When our pasts come back to haunt us both, I know that there's only one way we're going to make it through - together.

Elizabeth knocks it out the box again! I mean i could not put it down. I loved Trick and Angel together but Trick was the man. He was so loving and compassionate and always had his ole lady's back no matter who it was or what it was he was there for her just as she was there for him.
In Tricks story we get to see him find out who killed his family and how he gets his vengeance on that person. I was surprised by who it was and did not see that coming but that is why it was so shocking and everyone in the club was pissed off and could not wait to get their revenge on the man who took from them and did some serious foul shiz to the club and the members in it.
That epilogue can I just say that i need stock in Kleenex's because I just couldn't believe it. I wanted more no needed more but like they say everything good must come to an end and an end is just what happened. I need the next book to read about the love of my life the mysterious Enzo!

I really enjoyed reading Trick and Angel story. I laugh little even cried when I was done with this book. I hate that this series is almost over because I loved every book so far but I think this one has to be one my favorite of the series. One of my top reads of 2019 so far🖤🖤🖤

There are so many things to say about this book. I've loved the thought of Trick and Angel as soon as we saw them in Reckless. I had loved that he laid claim to her without knowing her, the whole caveman aspect of his need for her was so unique that I adored it! Sounds weird, I know, but I loved it!!!
Seeing Trick take care of Angel and not care what BS she gave him was adorable. I love seeing a big man fall for someone, there's just a sweetness about it that you don't expect. The sweetness between Trick and Angel was just so much. Almost too much for Angel, which I thought was hysterical. He didn't want to step bounds and she didn't know how to tell him what she wanted. He really helped bring her out of her shell and bring her back from the horrible, drug infected, place she had been in. It's just so admirable!
We really got to see Angel start to shine in this book too. I love how she fell into place with the help of Elena and Enzo. She found her place in the house, found some work, and really put her all into both things. Seeing her vulnerable was something I didn't expect, and I liked seeing that side of her. I also love how Trick poured his heart out to her to show her that she shouldn't feel vulnerable. That she needs to feel proud of herself and to not let others get her down. Then we have the struggle between her and Jenna, it has me super confused, I need more there. There was also so much between her and Chaos. I was super happy to see them reconnect in this book, even if it took him being a complete ass and being in a horrible situation.
There was a lot of love there for Trick and Angel. I'm super curious to see where this goes, that ending was something that definitely left you begging for more!

Reclusive by Elizabeth Knox is my favorite of the Skulls Renegade series. There is so much depth to Angel. So many layers that get peeled back little by little. You keep reading just to know her more.
Angel is a recovering addict. That should say it all right there. She is fighting this fight alone, or that is what she thinks. There is a firm foundation for Angel to fall on but she does not understand it or trust it. Why is Trick always there? Why does he put up with her? He takes everything she gives to him; the good, the bad and the ugly and still stays.
I really enjoyed reading about Angel and Trick. You will be team Angel and Trick in no time. I wish there was a little more interaction at the end between her, Chaos and Pain. Also, WHY??? Just WHY??? Just when it was getting good, I turn the page and it reads 16 years later (not going to spoil it with that sentence after that) and I smack myself in the face with the e-reader. I need more of Angel and Trick.

Cannot get enough if Elizabeth Knox and the stories she tells. Again I am left in awe of the writing and the characters. The story hit all the emotions for me including the tears.
Trick is the character that you want more and more of. After being told an Angel would come into his life and make him question everything he has ever known he has his doubts but when she does he is instantly inthralled by her. Angel is not the easiest person to get to let in. She has her walls and she has had many people let her down in life. Trick refuses to let her push him away or ruin what they have. He fights for their love and together they are unstoppable.
Completely got lost in this book, the energy, the suspense, the heat, and the emotions. Cannot say enough good things about Reclusive this Renegades MC book!! A must read!!!!

Angel has never felt anything as how precious Trick made her feel after her brother defended someone else and accused her, but she still feels like she doesn’t belong, that she should get high or die. Trick knows what she’s thinking and lets her know it’s his job to worry about her and she only has to worry about livin. Angel never wanted to be with Trick, but she sees how big his heart is and how he cares and treats her flaws and all, knowing he will never give up on her.
Angel know Trick isn’t judging her but concerned, finding out what she took he puts a wall up that she’s never seen before. She explains she wanted to fit in and yesterday she tried wanting to prove she was more than a charity case a druggie girlfriend and it didn’t work. Surprised when Trick lets her know it was a misunderstanding and he can help her sleep by exhausting her.
Finally, they both stop fighting what the both have wanted but wouldn’t admit. They have a long road to their happiness with the problems with the club and they both have to learn that they can’t control everything, and but first they have to deal with their pasts. Loved the ending even though it wasn’t one I was expecting.

Shockingly badly written drivel!
Seriously Amazon what the heck are you playing at allowing this kind of uneducated fraudster to sell books?! Badly written doesn't even cover it how awful the writting is, from literally the first page. The blurb says- "...because it helped lessened my sentence". As for the story it's like reading a child's repetitive, meaningless ramblings-
"... I don't know. I know a bit. But I don't know much. What I do know is..." Seriously inane drivel!
There are wrong words used on every single page, wrong punctuation, basic spelling mistakes etc. Seriously angry. I hate leaving bad reviews and I normally try to say something nice but seriously so sick of fake authors who can't write, publishing books.
If you think you have a good idea for a story then pay an editor to fix the writing before you expect people to use their time to read what you publish, let alone their money to pay for it. So basic and bad and so not cool of the so called author and amazon to publish this badly written rubbish! DNF!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Another amazing book by Elizabeth Knox, she always keeps you on your toes filled with suspense, action packed and wanting more. Trick and Angel are amazing characters, their chemistry is off the charts deliciously hot you will not be able to put this down. So many emotions with their story, Angel has demons from her past that she’s trying to put behind her and struggling, Trick is there and not going anywhere. You will cry, you will laugh and you will feel everything they are going through together. Will these two be able to jump the hurdle of her past and come out on other side? Or will her past dictate her future? Loved it, highly recommend it.

Reclusive by Elizabeth Knox is an awesome read with a twist. This is the ninth book in the Skulls Renegade MC series. This is the story of Trick and Angel. Trick is a member (and one of the oldest) of the MC. Angel is the sister to Pain and Chaos and is now Trick’s old lady. They both have things in their past that they are trying to overcome. They had a chemistry from the first time they met but they fought it and took things slow. As time went on they grew closer and found they really loved each other. This book has fighting, anger, drugs, romance, emotional twists and turns. This book will have you laughing and crying, angry and wanting to punch someone. I could not put this book down. I definitely recommend reading it. I can’t wait for the next book by Ms. Knox.

Angel is a hard woman to love. She's a recovering addict and trusts no one. She fights daily with her demons. After hooking up with Trick and thrown into the MC life, Angel feels like an outcast. Jenna is always trying to kat fight and her brother Chaos is always throwing insults her way.
While serving time a priest told Trick that an angel would come to him and help guide him through trials and tribulations.
Angel and Trick balance one another. Both fight demons of their past. Even though Angel tries to push Trick away, he never walks. He just shows her unconditional love.
Trick's past has come back to haunt him but this time he has a name for traitor. Revenge finally?
I love this series! Can't wait for Retribution!

Great!
I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I really enjoyed most of the characters. This book was well written by the author she depicted everyone very well. This is a book of protection, compassion, intrigue, and just feeling the love of another person while helping them and being there for them as well. Trick and Angel this here was a very unusual couple, but through it all I really like the way the story was written I don't like too much like the way it ended. I'm going to continue reading on with the next book. Great repeat. I recommend this book to all romance readers. 😀

OMG... This book has so many SURPRISES in it that it has you wondering what's going to happen next. Love reading about Trick and Angel and the chemistry was outstanding.

Title: Reclusive Skulls Renegade MC 9
Author: Elizabeth Knox
Publication Date: March 2, 2019
One of my favorite genres, MC reads, come in all flavors. The ex military that are clean and do it for camaraderie, those that live to ride and are in the gray area, hard core that run drugs and guns; they all have one thing in common brotherhood.
Granted I started with book nine but this couple are in a weird relationship; but I loved how they progressed. I needed tissues at the end but loved every minute of it.

I am in love with Elizabeth and her Skulls Renegade MC series. Every book just keeps getting better and better. This one is all about Angel and Trick . Trick wants to take care of her but Angel is stubborn. It doesn't help that her brother is a complete jerk. Interesting storyline as always. I love the chemistry between these two and how well they get along with each other. I really did not like the ending so to speak I was sad to read what happens to Trick. Cant wait to read the next one in the series. Enjoyable well written amazing characters. Just a great over all book for a great series.
March 4, 2019
Oh my word!!! This book was one of my favorites in the series. Trick & Angel’s story is beautiful with a lot of angst. I’ve always loved Trick. His painful past holds a dark cloud over his life. Angel is a recovering addict who gets treated like crap at every turn, but she is a fighter, and Trick shows her that she is lovable. Their chemistry is off the charts and their love story is epic. Definitely a Five-Star read!!!
March 4, 2019
Ok I am totally dead after reading this book.
The storyline is awesome there is a lot of action and the revenge that gets to happen is off the charts .
What gets me is the love that is in this book, the love Trick has for his Angel his recovering addict , his Old Lady.
Angel has never had a good relationship with her brothers and now she is in their lives as Tricks Old Lady and she is learning as she goes.
The Epilogue killed me but this book is so very worth it !!!

I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about Trick and Angel as a couple ... must less about Trick and how he claimed her. These two are fierce together and you can tell early on just how much chemistry they have. I was really surprised that they held out as long as they do. Angel finding her way in the club was hard and Jenna was a real witch to her especially. Im surprised by Chaos over and over I really thought Pain would have helped but he wasn't around. That epilogue had me in tears.
March 10, 2019
Trick has quickly become my new favorite in this series. He is a badass biker but also has a soft side when it comes to Angel. He just knows he needs her and is willing to give her time and care until she sees it as well. Angel has had a hard life and still doesn't see herself being wanted by anyone as an addict. Sparks fly as Trick and Angel navigate their way. I loved this short story! It had everything I want in an MC book and I look forward to more in the series!
March 13, 2019
This book will tear your heartstrings out , you want the HEA for Angel & Trick & while technically they get it they don't get to keep it , My favourite book of the series so far , Trick taking the fall for Reed costs him almost everything , Angel is trying to get her life back on track but her brother won't forgive & forget , two broken people find & heal each other in an amazing story i just wish the ending had been different .
July 14, 2019
I loved Trick, I think he might be my favorite out of all the guys in the series so far! He helps Angel get through her addiction and supports her in her low times, but he's still alpha yumminess. I wish we were able to see more of their relationship altogether, but what can you do. I didn't understand why the epilogue had to be how it was, maybe that's because I'm fresh off of reading and haven't processed it all the way, BUT it didn't seem necessary or move anything along in the book.
March 4, 2019
I know I say this every time but this really is my favourite of the series. I love Trick and Angel , the most unconventional partnering but it works , it really works . I got totally lost in their story as with every EK book and can’t wait for the next one even its the last and that’s gonna break my heart I think
March 7, 2019
I started reading this book at night at didn’t put it down till I finished it at 1am. I loved reading Tricks and Angel’s story. I cried at the end which shows how great of a writer Elizabeth Knox is. She makes us feel connected to the characters. I am so sad to hear the series will be coming to an end soon.

This is a good read but a hard one
This book has many typos that need fixed as do all the other of the series but it was a good read. I like the couple, sometimes it was hard on the heart but Trick made the hard stuff all worth it. The ending definitely wasn't what I expected but not everything it rainbows & unicorns!

Great book
Retribution, revenge, payback, whatever you want to call it, it's out in full force. Brothers who blame a sister for her actions, an old lady who blames another for something she couldn't control while she was addicted, plenty of twists and turns, an interesting story with thoroughly enjoyable characters.

Trick has an old lady now and it’s all new to him. Angel has been through a lot and when they first get together, she’s hard to love. Trick let’s her fight but never walks away. Will Angel give in to Trick? Can she overcome her past demons? Can they have love they both want?
