Rate this book
Jules
I live a charmed life as the club princess to the Outlaws MC. I’m practically untouchable and my world is as close to picture perfect as it can get, until one day when everything changes. Within a split second my life goes from normal to catastrophic.
I wake up chained to a floor, in the hands of a psychopath.
My only concern is how I’m supposed to escape this nightmare. Until I realize something terrifying. I’m not the only person in this madman’s clutches . . . and I don’t have the heart to leave them behind. If I’m going to get out, they will too. or I’ll die trying.

Dom
He’s a ruthless savage who won’t approve of what I want. No matter how much I think about making Jules my ol’ lady . . . her father won’t give me his blessing and I know it.
I’m not some random dude, either. I’m the VP of the Lawless MCs local charter. Shit. Everything was fine until I met her. When I did I began to rethink everything about my life.
I hear about Jules being missing and her father’s blessing means nothing to me. Not when I’m in a race against time to save her life.
I only hope I can get to her before it’s too late.

(2.5) I guess it just wasn't a book for me. First, it ended with a cliffhanger, which was the main plot throughout the story and I didn't care. What?!? Second, the characters were to "nice" for me and all over the place. She was 17-18 and acted the way she did, it didn't make sense. He was how old, it never said or even hinted. Third, the story jumped around way to much and didn't have any real depth to grasp onto.

WOW!!

Loved it... For a new author this was an awesome book. This book has so many twist and turns in it that you don't know what's going to happen next. I loved everything about Dom and Jules and I was sad when I came to the last page because I wanted more. I can't wait until the next book comes out to see what happens next. Loved this book so much K.C. Stone!!!

Well thought out storyline with unexpected twists. A captivating book right from the start. A dark and gritty novel with action, suspense and drama.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

Rescuing Jules is book one of the Lawless MC series. This story does end with a happily ever after but does have some story points still dangling at the end.

Jules Galenti, the daughter of Sal Galenti, is the president of the Outlaws MC. Dominic "Dom" Hayes is the second in the Lawless MC. When they see each other across the room it is instant love. Sal one law concerning his daughter is that she is off limits to all bikers. It is forbidden.

Dom thinks their dating is hidden from her father until he finds out Jules was kidnapped. Charging over to see her father to get details, Dom realizes that Sal knows about the romance. He tells her father he will get Jules back. He loves her and she is his world. And he will kill the parties responsible.

In the story we also meet the other girls that Jules was held with. These girls have formed a special bond because of the trauma the endured. We also meet several Lawless brothers, some of whom become very protective of the girls. All would be perfect for future books (I hope).

I loved this book. That being said, there are some rough parts to the story but this is a MC story, not a wine and roses romance. Note to any readers make sure you check out the trigger warnings for the book. It is definitely not for the under 18 gang.

This story has nonstop adrenaline. I was on the edge of my seat, turning page after page. I needed to find out what happened next. The tension would build as the story progressed and it never fully went away (it did lessen though). There were definitely some twists that I did not see coming.

The story is written as alternating point of views which allows us to get their full story. The backstories are told as flashbacks with the author being clear when the story goes back in time. This is my first book by K.C. Stone and it definitely will not be my last. I can't wait to read the next one.

The story line, plot and idea are well thought out and interesting with twist and turns and surprising revelations, with an underlying plot that will continue in the next book.

From the moment you open the book until the end you are on the edge of your seat, captivated. As you open the book, your emotions are all over the place as Jules, MC Princess, wakes up captured, trying to make sense of what happened only to realize she is not alone and she needs to help/protect the other girls with her and they bond over the trauma they are suffering. When the love of Jules’s life Dom, her father’s second in command, realizes that she is missing he rushes to her father the president to get details and belatedly realize her father knew about him and Jules. Dom, the huge biker with his protective instinct is definitely swoon worthy.

The book has action, suspense, drama, club business, some cheer worthy moments when Dom and his Lawless brothers rescues Jules and the other girls and becomes protective over them. The authors portrayal of the supporting characters is excellent and supports and elevate the plot. I loved the book, excited to read the next.

As this is an MC book, some of the details in this book is dark and gritty and if you are a sensitive reader you need to avoid this book as the details of trauma and abuse is not pretty.

🛡️🛡️ONE NAILBITING JOURNEY🛡️🛡️
Holy hell Batman!

This is the first book in this series and let me say that I love it. I mean yes you get multiple povs and that is a favorite of mine cause I like to know what the other character is thinking. So we meet Jules and Dom in this book. We get the back story of how they met and what they thought their future would hold for them. All that changes one night and this sets up the story. You have a crazy psycho who wants Jules and is going to any and all extremes to get her. Oh but beware of those twist cause dang that had my head spinning. You definitely need to pay attention to the other characters which I am sure we will read about later. The HEAT level is off the charts here. There are moments that are brushed over lightly but still can be a hard pill to swallow. However I do love the revenge that occurs so if you are not big on torture you have been warned. Although it is not that bad. We do get an happy ending but we are still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I cannot wait to see what will happen next in this series.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Rescuing Jules is the first book in the ‘’lawless MC’’ series. I devoured this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. Rescuing Jules is the first book of K.C. Stone’s that I have read (I think). I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline action packed. Julienne is the princess of a dangerous MC. When she is kidnapped she hopes they hurry up and save her and the other girls. Dom has had a secret relationship with Jules for a while. When she is taken, no one is going to stop him from getting his woman back.
The chemistry between Dom and Jules is clear to see and I liked them together. I thought they were perfect for one another. I loved that Jules was a little spitfire.
I loved Jules bond with the other taken girls. I liked that she and her family helped them.
I wasn’t a fan of Gia to begin with but even more so at the end of this story.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series. I want more of Viper!

Jules is the daughter of MC president Sal Galenti of the Outlaws MC and Dom is the VP of the Lawless MC. He met Jules at her 18th birthday party and was told to stay away from her. But they meet up in secret and fall in love they have been hiding their relationship for close to a year when Jules is kidnapped and Dom is going to do everything in his power to rescue his love.
This story is full of drama and angst but it is also action packed and full of steamy chemistry between Jules and Dom...I just love Dom he is so in love with Jules, their relationship is inspiring. Along the way and during the rescue there are some other girls that are rescued and brought to the Lawless compound for protection. There is a special bond that is formed between them and Jules because of the trauma of their abductions.
I can't wait for the next book of this series to come out and some questions are answered...especially the secret of Jules mom Cara and the Lawless MC president Locke.

OMG this was an amazing read! I just couldn't put it down. I started reading it and finished it in one day because it was that good. There is so much that happens in this book that you will be like holy hades!

Jules is the club princess of the Outlaws MC and she is living her life as free as she can with her father and the brothers watching out for her. Then one day she is kidnapped and held captive by this crazy arse man man. When she wakes up she is tied up and not alone. See there are others down there with her and she is determined to get them out to.

See Jules is secretly dating Dom the VP of Lawless MC and when he finds out that she is missing he will do everything in his power to find her and get her home bac where she belongs. Lord this man is nothing to be effed with because when he says he is going to do something he does it and he is going to save his lady.

Lord I can go on and on about this book but you have to read this one to get the full effect of the story. So go on out and one click this bad boy!

Starts with Jules kidnapped and chained in a basement with other girls from 21 years old to a young as 16. She wasn’t raped like a few of the others, since she would be a ‘gift’ to the leader of this Human trafficking group. This will have the biker ‘violence and bloodshed’ to their need to take down who’s causing harm and shows their soft side. But the most we get are the emotional pain that the sufferings from the girls, their fear of what the next day brings, the secrets that will tear a ‘loving’ family apart at the seams, lies that cause a supposedly a best friend become the devil in disguise, the soul bonding love of Jules and her Dom. Dom is the V.P. of Lawless M.C. an Irish club. Jules is the ‘daughter’ of an Italian M.C. President....

Book 1 of Lawless MC series. Opens with a good narrative from Jules' POV and the pages fly by with tense drama and action, a mix of romance and danger. Jules' father is head of an Italian MC. She is a princess not to be touched. Dom is VP of the Lawless MC. Their forbidden love story is told in flashbacks showing the steady growth of their connection with a few surprises thrown in. When she is abducted, Dom will do whatever it takes to find her and seek vengeance. Jules is resourceful, brave and determined. "Rescuing Jules" covers a lot - including human trafficking, PTSD, and therapy with themes of hope, love, loss, loyalty, betrayal and survival. There are set-ups for future couples involving club brothers and some unfinished business to be addressed. I like this entertaining story for all of the above and look forward to the next one.

"Rescuing Jules" is an odd mix of great and not so great - when it comes to revenge it has it in spades, but there's also a fairly sappy love story mixed in, not forgetting the random acts of kindness by soft-hearted MC members.
Jules, daughter of the Outlaws MC President, Sal Galenti, has been kidnapped by sex traffickers. Dom, VP of the Lawless MC, is Jules' secret(ish) boyfriend and he'll rescue her regardless of the cost.
There's a quick, though partial, resolution which shifts the hunt to finding John, the Jules-obsessed stalker, an Outlaws MC member, who organised the kidnap.
As the stalking becomes ever more intrusive so, too, does the sex - in real life it may serve to reduce the tension but in "Rescuing Jules" it dilutes the story time and time again.
The problem the book fails to solve is that it tries too hard to pull too many strands together.
It's a very fast read which ends with John still in the wind.
2 Stars.

Jules and Dom's story is one of the best I've read in awhile. Jules goes through so much when she is taken. When she is rescued by the Lawless MC things were hard but the love Dom had for her helped her heal and stay strong. Dom loves Jules so much he'd kill for her. Dom is prince charming on a Harley! He fought hard to find Jules and fought harder to keep her safe.
This book was the first book I've read from K.C. Stone and she just got a new fan. This book has all the emotions in it. I definitely can't wait to read the next book in this series, to find out about the rest of the MC and the girls that were with Jules!! If you want a book that has all the feels and will melt your tablets, phone or books this is the one. Or maybe a book with a bad ass biker on the outside but a prince on the inside this book has it all!! Cant wait for more!!

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is the first book in the Lawless MC series. I can already see that I will be looking forward to the rest of the books. From the moment Jules and Dom see each other it is love at first site. Jules is a club princess and her prez father had declared she is off limits. The fact they are denied each other makes Dom more determined to make her his old lady. Jules is kidnapped and Dom will not rest until he has her back in his arms where he will never let her go. I thought the characters had great chemistry. Their story was well written and full of drama, danger, suspense, heat and love. There are some triggers, so be warned. I look forward to what comes next with the Lawless MC

This is the 1st in a new series and what a beginning this story is. Jules is club princess of the Outlaws MC as her dad is president, and when she meets Dom who is the VP of the Lawless MC, their connection is instant. Dom and Jules start dating but on the quiet as she is strictly off limits, and when she is kidnapped Dom will do whatever he has to in order to rescue her. Jules is kidnapped by a human trafficking group, and as she is supposed to be for the boss, so she is does not go through the traumatic events that her fellow hostages do. Will Jules and the other girls who have all formed a special bond be rescued in time? This is a well written story which is raw, gritty, emotional, and with lies and love which all had me captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this author and I recommend for all MC lovers.

Who thought a night out with you best friend would have you waking up in a dark dank place listening to whimpers of others. When Jules calls out the others tell her to be quiet or they will come down and hurt them. Jules has no idea who them is and who these women are, she finally gets them to give their names and she tries to stay strong. When the door opens and some one she knows is before her John he is one of her dads men. She gets the creeps from him and now she knows why he wants her at any cost.
Dom gets a frantic meeting with Jules father and he is told she is missing and he angry, where is she and what are we going to do to get her back.
When they locate her they are in for more than they bargained for, they have many women to rescue and keep safe because they know this is far from over.

Strong love and dedication.

This was a fast read because it threw you in the mix all at once. Jules, is the Princess and daughter of one of the most feared MCs. She knows that her father will never let her be with one of the brothers in his MC. A party is thrown one night and Dom, who is another MC, and the VP no less, catches Jules attention. Dom also noticed Jules. The both of them can't hide from the passion, or the internal pull they feel towards each other. This is the main reason I liked this book. When you read the words that are spoken between them, it's beautiful. Dom will do anything to protect and love her. Both clubs will be put to test when outside influences threaten them and their loved ones. I really liked the characters in this book, but it felt like some big moments were rushed through, or added randomly. I recommend reading this book because everyone has a different opinion.

Jules and Dom are forbidden because they are from two different MC's. Her dad might not have liked it but when a line is crossed and she gets kidnapped, then it's a matter of strength in numbers.

Dom and Jules do share a secret though. This man is ruthless when it comes to finding and protecting his girl. I do NOT feel bad for those who crossed that bridge because they had no idea who they are messing with.

Jules is having all kinds of bad luck but when the forbidden becomes her hero, you will love him a whole lot more.

Wicked good twists, characters who became so much more than words on a page and a story that grips you from cover to back cover. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Dom pulled out all the stops to rescue Jules after she was kidnapped. They had broken up two months prior when the pressure got to much for Jules, knowing that her mafia boss dad would kill Dom if he found out about them.
I liked the way Dom was able to use his MC connections to locate Jules and save her and the other women who were bound and abused.
Lots of super steamy scenes between this strong couple that were intense and graphic.
Twists and turns galore along with betrayal and raw gritty violence that put up roadblocks in their relationship.
A HFN ending with a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions about John.

Wow, what a start to a new series that involves two different MC clubs. Jules is the daughter of the president of the Outlaws MC and Dom is second in command of the Lawless MC and the daughter is absolutely off limits. When these two set eyes on one another the attraction is instant, even though forbidden, they sneak around. When Jules goes missing Dom swears he will find her and kill whoever is responsible. A very fast paced, action packed read that involves kidnapping,, human trafficking, torture, rape, abuse, danger, and suspense with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Looking forward to more.

K.C. Stone is a new author for me and I absolutely love Dom and Jules story. Before starting this book I suggest you read the prequel Demanding Dom. This book is action full from beginning to end. It's full of heartache, healing, love, loyalty and family. I loved see Dom go from taking someone out to the loving, caring man Jules needed. From beginning to end I couldn't put this book down. Com is pure alpha when it comes Jules and Jules is stronger than you think with everything going on around her. I can't wait to see more then along with Storm, Duke, Smokey, Viper, Leah, Ezra, Grace, Cara, Mac, Faith and Locke in the near future.

1st book I read by K.C. Stone I looked for more and can't find any except one not yet released. I love her writing style and the depth of the plot reminds me a lot of The Clans, in texture and depth.
This is not a quick read like some of the other MC stories I like and read. You will either spend the day doing nothing else or stretch it out over a few days.
I will not miss out on any books by this author and am going to re-read this when the next comes out. Def on my favorites list. She will be right up there with Elizabeth Knox, Christine Feehan, and Sloane Kennedy foe me.

Rescuing Jules is an amazing fast paced moving romance story about Dom and Jules who are find two different MC and are forbidden to be together. Jules is the Princess to the Outlaw MC and is untouchable until she meets Dom at her birthday party and the chemistry between them becomes explosive. Dom is the VP of the Lawless MC and he is a ruthless hard edge biker can he and Jules keep their affair a secret from her father Sal? When these two have a disagreement and part for a while, Dom is summoned by Sal, he is told that Jules has been taken and Dom is outraged with fear for the woman he loves When Sal tells Dom he knew about the two of them he gives his blessing but needs Dom and his club to help save his daughter. Now this story had angst, chaos, violence, steamy passionate moments between these two lovers. Now the person behind all of this drama is John who is connected to Jules father Sal. John wants Jules as his own and is in charge of a large sex trafficking ring as he is the person behind Jules kidnapping. Your heart will break as you witness all of the abuse Jules and the other young women who have been taken as well as the road each one will have to go through to survive their ordeal. Gia who is Jules best friend is not who she seems and has plans of her own regarding Jules. Secrets and lies surround the main characters as well as a brother betraying the club. With all of the twists and turns in this story, you will be on edge from beginning to end, this is one story that will hold your interest. The love between Dom and Jules was powerful as these two are true soulmates, will they get their HEA? We are left with more questions, especially with the connection between Cara Jules mother and Locke Pres of the Lawless MC. Can't wait for book 2 to come out, K. C. Stone is a first time author for me and I am hooked!

This is the first book I have read from this author and I am blown away and can't wait for the next one.
This book was jam packed full of storyline that you didn't skip on things and miss out.
Dom and Jules were just the sweetest together and Dom would stop at nothing to keep her safe. Secrets were revealed and lives lost yet Jules and Dom weathered it together with the help of his brothers and the ladies that become like family for Jules after they all are left fighting for their freedom.
Look forward to the next as these guys and gals find their way back to what they may consider a normal life.

In Rescuing Jules, the story was decent, but the execution was all over the place. Jules' father is President of the Outlaws MC, but it seemed the family was portrayed more as an Italian crime family than anything resembling an MC. Dom is the VP of the Irish Lawless MC and at first the author tried to make it a race thing. But after the first few chapters, it was never mentioned again. As for the story, I was easily able to finish the book because it kept my interest. However, Dom seemed to race back and forth on his bike a lot and I found it inconceivable none of the abused women had more of a mental or health issue.

I can't wait to see where this series goes!! You have Jules a "princess" just trying to find her way until a tragedy strikes. She meets the man of her dreams, Dom, before tragedy strikes. They have an instant connection. Dom has always believed that when you find "the one" you know it. And for him that one is Jules. He will move heaven and earth to get her back, make him hers and keep her safe!! I loved this story from start to finish. So much drama, suspense and most of all love. Princess meet prince charming on a harley!!!! Loved it!!
