Mag: Loyalty: Badass is in the showing!
Book three shows us what loyalty looks like Badass style. He can shoot, he can fly and according to Carmen, “He’s honest, trustworthy and loyal. Sex on sticks isn’t a damn beagle.”
Dad, Son, Brother, Boss, protector, teacher are titles you see but won’t hear about from Mag. Badass doesn’t brag. He’ll show you without the words.
Insightful has always been overlooked…until now.

About the author
L. Ann Marie
128 books464 followersL. Ann started with the Baxters and followed that with multiple series and genres. While her books feature paranormal, FBI, ex-military and Badass Bikers, L. Ann is writing about the strong women that these men need in their life to help right the world's wrongs and keep their small part of the world safe. The women are extraordinary, strong and determined to make a difference.
The men fight for right in every book. Yes, they kill people. Yes, the MC shoots at the bad guys’ feet to cause them pain. Yes, some throw tampons at each other regularly.
That being said, they do these things while stopping human trafficking and experimentation, bringing their world into legitimate businesses, fighting gangs to keep drugs away from their town and kids, keep women sheltered safely while trying to stop domestic abuse. These are men that don’t leave a pack, Team member or Brother behind. They don’t treat women as possessions and they don’t cheat. Respect takes on an honorable meaning. Women and kids are cherished. Everyone is looked out for and everyone is equal.
L. Ann has made amazing worlds, tackled the taboo subjects and made it easy to imagine living in a world where your protection comes from the vampires, shifters, freaky kids, albinos and orientals, military turned FBI and some Badass Bikers.
With readers writing about rereading the series over and over, she feels like she’s told her characters’ stories in a way that would make them proud.
Every book will make you laugh, every book will make you angry for the wrong that happens in the world. Every book will make you cry for the pain that a character feels. Every book gives you hope that we may just get it right yet

What can I say....this was an amazing book! It’s a slightly different format but that just makes it even better. Mag has been in the background throughout the first two books, but he’s always there always keeping the club going. Doing his job without any fanfare. This is Mag’s time to shine and he shows us just what he’s made of! He’s loyal and totally Bada#s. LB and the guys make an appearance throughout the book and have already recognised his value and importance to the club. It just takes the others a while to catch up! Tyson his son is as valuable to the club as Mag is. He and the Alpha-bits are the future of the club and PBSC. This is a fast paced book with something happening nearly all the time. What shines thorough tho is the loyalty and love these guys have for not only each other but Bada#s too! Leya is Mag’s girl but she’s got things to work through. Her grief and knowing her strengths and accepting that Mag is for real and forever. The other ol’ ladies show her the way with actions and friendship. When they come together for good the celebrations are special. Having Mc Mass show and Princes makes this book so interesting cause you know things are happening! Can’t wait for the next book now!

Bravo Rising Starts To See The Big Picture
This book is about Mag, SAA for Bravo Rising a Badass MC Affliate. His son is 10 year old Tyson who has been a wheelchair for a very long time but is incredibly bright, friendly and personable. Mag’s sister is AJ, who is the VP’s Ol’ Lady. They haven’t been with this section of Badass for very long but Mag is finding his true home at last and using all the Badass philosophies his Dad taught him. He’s making sure to pass on those lessons to his own son and the Alpha-Bits.
In a previous book Mag hooked up with Leya the owner of the ice-cream parlour. She’s not been in town long either and is mourning the death of her young daughter, who had cancer. She really likes Mag, but she’s scared to get involved too quickly as her ex was not great and left when their daughter was born with Downs Syndrome.
I kind of liked that a big chunk of this book was spent with the couple not actually together or really talking directly too each other much as Leya got her head around something serious with Mag. Mag was really sweet and gave her time whilst he got on with being an all round awesome guy.
It’s a very sweet love story and left most of the drama outside the relationship and more with ongoing problems the club was having with attacks being made against them. Some interesting bits and pieces were also revealed by the head honchos as BSC. Things are ramping up again.

I have been waiting for the next installment of Bravo rising and once I finished it all I could say out loud was.. "You can't freaking leave it there!!!!!!!!"
THIS DOES NOT FINISH ON A CLIFF HANGER!!!! It was just so damn good with what was going on in the story line that I didn't want it to finish!!
There is so much going on in this book. There was so many humourous parts that I just couldn't put the book down. This book was so different to Falcons.. it wasn't insta love, insta-claiming. It was a slow burn build up but just so perfect for Mag and Leya.
The alpha-bits are so freaking cute and amazing but.. now I cannot wait for the next level with the freaky going to start to show. L Ann Marie, the world you have created with Badass.. is just so BADASS!!! I love your books. This is really a must read series... from the beginning..

Not enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another winner 🏆🏆🏆! As always, it's a must read. She just keeps getting better and better. Incorporating characters from her other series is absolutely wonderful. I love all of them. Having them back again is perfect. And once again, her mind if pure brilliance. So many details and she keeps them all flowing. Her humor is perfectly written in all her books. If you haven't read any of her books, start at the very beginning and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Loved Meg and Leya's story
Love these interconnected series, and Meg and Leya didn't disappoint.
Mag Bailey grew up in the MC world. He father career Air Force, embraced the Brotherhood of Badass Biker's vision, even though the club affiliate he belonged to did not. His old lady was happy where she was, so he stayed. Lost his life.
Mag took every story and lesson of his father to heart. He joined the Air Force as his club ordered and he did his time and gave his timed owed to his club. Having a special needs son, no support from the club, sent him looking at other clubs, looking for his father's vision. Then he landed at Phoenix. Now is SAA for the Bravo under Falcon Beckett. He has found what his father dreamed of. His mother and sister both settled at Bravo, each finding a good brother. Mag's son Tyson, finding the help and support he has needed and is not thriving.
Meg has found his old lady, though he has not laid claim to her yet. Leya, is new to town and has open a ice cream parlor as a tribute to her special needs daughter who she lost to cancer. She embraced the A's and Tyson on a visit, and Meg know she was his. While his job as SAA keeps his busy. He talks to Leya every day on the phone. He knows she is grieving, and that she needs time. He is slowly introducing himself to her through the stories and lessons of his father. When he tells her he is all in, she balks, hung up on their one date. Mag understands and steps back giving her time to process. The old ladies step in and show her what life with Meg will be. Tyson and the A's do their part too. They know she loves them and belongs with them.
A threat from a big money unknown has Meg stepping back into the position he held in the Air Force to protect Bravo and the clubs they are associated with. Princes and Mass MC offer their support. While they clear the immediate threat. Visions show more to come. Princes, Mass and the FBI are preparing. Justice LaPonte-James-Lightfoot, makes a surprising request.
Loved Meg and Leya, great proposal and Biker Wedding. Jack and Ranger along with the A's at Bravo made it extra special for Leya.
IT was the warning. Can't wait for the next book and Club's story will be told next .

Crap on a Cracker !!!
This is the first time I haven't given 5 stars on a l Ann Marie book and I feel guilty 😔 I LOVED THE STORY , LOVED MAG , OF COURSE LOVED MY ALPHA BITS!!! However, I had a hard time connecting with Lela and Mag as a couple, we never got there " first time" even in flashback so no connection was really made for the drawn out separation that happened. They were the first couple in ALL the books ( every series) I haven't really felt 😥 Also, although I LOVE the " new guy" ( no spoilers) at the end I hope their is a book to flesh out his relationship because HE definitely deserves that! It feels like both the new series are gearing up for an epic conflict , which is fun to read but the best part of "Bada$$" is they're relationships and families!!

Great book!
What a great addition to the series!! Mag is so under stated but he is so essential. He is almost the glue. Leya is adorable with her beautiful Maggie. I love how you see her finally come back to life and see that she can accept Mag and his All in. Once she does realize he is the one, she doesn’t waver. Overall I am excited to see where the story goes with the addition of Justice...loving the cross overs and the Alpha Bits. Their growth through the books has come leaps and bounds. I need more! 💜

Phenomenal!
Another grand slam! I just love this series, but then again I have loved each of L Ann Maries ' books. The story lines are fantastic, the characters are incredible! I feel so drawn into the books like I'm actually meeting them. The interactions of the characters just make me want to keep reading to see what happens next. Anxiously waiting for the next book in the series! Love the Alpha-Bits and Tyson!

Another amazing MC read with Mag as the hero and an amazing heroine who’s past is painful.
Giving her the space she needs Mag continues to teach and lead and comes into his own. His old club receives the ultimate karma and Tyson continues to improve.
We get visits from the Prince’s and stronger alliances are formed.

Fantastic!!!!!!
I loved this book! Reading the book about Mag, I was wondering how he would show Badass so others could see it. L Ann Marie never disappoints. I will add it to my list of books that I will reread. That list has all of her books from "She Found Us" straight through all her books until this one. Thank you L Ann Marie I would LOVE to live in this world!!

Great read
I love Mag and Leya and Tyson. It shows Mag learned all the lessons of his father and is teaching them to Tyson and the alpha-bits. Cant wait for the next one to see who shows up in it. It was great seeing old faces and one wanting to move to them and possibly bringing more with him. Another great read Lori.

I like these stories and I love the Alpha-Bits. Very engaging. I wish the things they do could real be done. I love the racial diversity in your stories. I love the action scenes. I am always happy to characters from last books pop up. Hope Hampton and Garron Ford pop in for a visit.

Love This Author's Books!
I recommend reading her books in order. She does an awesome job of combining characters from all her MC and FBI series together. I get lost in the stories and don't realize I've been reading for hours.. Her stories have, action, laughter, romance and good life lessons too. I can't wait for the next book!

Each Book Gets Better!
I started reading I Ann Marie's books starting with the McDonald's series and through to this one. They are charade head but if you start at he beginning you will be able to follow. Plus, most books have a list of characters to help keep them straight.
Each book gets better and the characters continue to grow.

Enjoyed it but...
I enjoyed this book but I really wish that there was a physical description of the main characters. It doesn’t have to be a point by point listing but something that gives me insight for my imagination. I am finding that as I progress in this series, physical attributes are being overlooked. Thanks 😘

This is one of those books where a background knowledge of the cast is a must, I’m still catching up but I did enjoy it, as with the other’s the romance is more of a background story than front and center, that belongs to the Alpha-bits.
