From USA Today Bestselling author M. Never, comes an angsty, edgy, second chance motorcycle romance.I have two weeks left to live. Two weeks to come up with one hundred thousand dollars. Two weeks to convince the woman I love she loves me too. When The Bowman passed away — my dead father’s best friend and bookie — the payoff arrangement he made with my loan shark died with him. Now, I have two … with him.
Now, I have two weeks to cough up the money or else.
The only silver lining? The Bowman’s death brought Liv, his daughter, back into my life.
Ten years ago, all she wanted was my love. What she got was a broken heart instead.
But time apart and grief do strange things to people, bringing them together in unexpected ways. Like drunk and horny and naked in your bed.
Now I’m in a race against time, fighting for the woman I want back all while trying to figure out exactly how to stay alive.
Life, I tell ya. It can sure deal one hell of a mutherfkn’ hand.
Aces High is an interconnecting standalone in the Baum Squad series. It includes intense sexual situations and some violence. Reader discretion is advised.

It’s no secret that I am a huge M. Never fan and this 3rd instalment in the Baum Squad series did not disappoint.
I was invested in Damon and Liv’s friends-to-lovers story from the beginning. As the story opens, Damon is screwing his way through life and working dead-end side jobs. While polar opposite Liv is a confident, driven woman on the verge of opening her own art gallery. When the childhood friends reconnected after the death of The Bowman, I found myself excited and hopeful their sexual chemistry would develop into more after a sneaky encounter.
The overall themes of friendship, loyalty and family brought this story to life. I also enjoyed seeing the main characters from the previous two books continue to make appearances throughout the story, along with being introduced to new MC members who will hopefully get stories of their own.
In the meantime, I will try my best to wait patiently for the next instalment in the Baum Squad series.
Dayum, M. Never creates bad boys like nobody’s business!
Another amazing action packed installment that I couldn’t get enough of.
Breaker & Liv’s story was filled with so much heartach that you can’t help but feel for them.
A definite must read!!!
A very fast paced, very intense, sizzling smoking hot book! Liv has been in love with Breaker since she was five. Years later at her fathers funeral Breaker sees Liv so devastated he steps in to comfort her and soon realizes he wants more…he wants her forever! Constantly at odds with her feelings Liv knows their connection is strong and definitely panty melting hot but can she trust him again. It’s a very intense emotional storyline full of excitement, suspense, danger, and a lot of delicious smoking hot as hell sex that kept me up late to find out how their story would end! I loved everything about this book and I’m really looking forward to the next one in this series!
I love most things that M. Never writes, but this is the closest thing to the feels that the Owned series gave me. I liked the prequel and first book in the series, but this was even better! It’s such a rare thing to enjoy the second book more! Damon was trying to solve his problems alone, and it would have worked, if Liv hadn’t become his babysitter. So much heat in this book, and I loved the back and forth between characters. It’s also nice to have an MC book where the characters are loyal but still basically normal rowdy people, not blood thirsty hardened criminals.
The great character and plot development hooked me right from the very beginning and as I turned each and every page I felt like Damon and Liv jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
This is the second book in the Baum Squad Series, a MC Romance/second chance to love/romantic suspense. I love this Series! You have to read this Series in order for a better understanding. Anyway, you don’t want to miss one book in this amazing Series, believe me! Damon and Liv are great characters, and their second chance to love is fun, hot, suspenseful and amazing. The secondary characters are also great. The storyline is captivating, intriguing, filled with twists and turns. I loved to see the other characters from the previous books. The brotherhood between the men is wonderful. I loved how Kira and Liv connected. These women are sassy and strong! I enjoyed reading this story. I highly recommend this story and Series. I can’t wait for the audiobook version of this story!
I love MC books so this book fit the bill perfectly. Damon and Liv have always had a pull to each other but never acted on it and they haven’t seen each other in 10 years when a tragedy is what brings them back in each other’s orbit but they still don’t know what to make out of each other. Livs dealing with the death of her father and Damon’s dealing with a lot to but is trying to handle it alone but it’s to big for only him. This book was lots of suspense and steam!!
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
I loved Damon and Liv.
They are such dynamic characters.
Both strong and determined.
Both stubborn and unwilling to compromise.
Liv and Damon have known each other from childhood.
They have grown up together and know everything about one another.
Since Liv’s high school prom their feelings have started to shift from friends to wanting something more.
But circumstances and situations have them separated for years.
They are brought back together again and things are about to become complicated.
Everything between them is off the charts explosive.
Whether they are loving or fighting there is no in between for these two.
Their story is filled with drama and suspense.
A past that is painful and a future that’s filled with danger.
But their connection and bond won’t let them leave the other in times of need.
I loved how even when Liv was mad or upset she never abandons Damon.
And how Damon no matter how many times Liv tells him they have no future he never gives up.
Their story is of second chances and learning to trust.
I enjoyed reading Liv and Damon’s passion filled dangerous journey of love.
Damon La Rue was in the dangerous position due to his father past.. This suspense MC Romance was very emotional and the strength of the Brotherhood were tested. I enjoyed the love stories between Damon and Liv so good. Aces High was surrounded with alpha male and their personalities..
The Baum Squad is back and better than ever.
I honestly thought there was no possible way that any couple in this series would be able to top Kire and Ky from Slashes in the Snow. Holy wow, I was wrong!
Damon and Liv are seriously amazing. Their connection is passionate, angst-filled and deep-rooted ina lifelong friendship.
Damon is the pretty boy, MC member, alpha hero you would expect from this series. He uses his looks to get by in life. Well, in the areas he can. However, he owes someone who could care less about his looks and now the clock is ticking down.
Reunited with Liv, the love of his life, his countdown is even more tragic.
Liv is strong-willed after a lifetime of bullying and living in the shadows. She is grieving and turns to Damon as a friend from her childhood but falls head first into suspense she wasn’t ready for.
This story is everything. Filled with plenty of steamy passion, friends to enemies to lovers, angst and suspense-filled romance book. Plus all of the cameos from the Baum Squad supporting their family.
It is everything you would expect from a M Never book.
Highly recommended. This was well worth the wait and I am looking forward to even more of this series.
And as always from my reviews, my top quotes of the book:
“Friendships are sort of like riding a bike. You may not do it for a while, but it only takes a few minutes to get back into the groove.”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen in the morning once the effects of last night blow over, but I do know what’s going to happen in the future. Liv Ward is going to become my wife.”
“Damon LaRue has been a hazard to my heart since I was seventeen years old. And now at twenty-seven, he’s still an emotional risk.”
“I know who I am. I know who I am with you, and I know who I am without you. What I’m telling you is that I want to be the person I am when I’m with you. And that means all of me with all of you. I don’t know how else to explain it.”
Aces High was another great read by M. Never. I loved it! I loved Damon and Liv. Their chemistry and connection was off the charts hot! I loved loved them together! I am hoping there will be more books in this series!
This is the 2nd book in this phenomenal series, and is Liv and Damon’s story. This is a well written flawless story with engaging characters, and is a riveting tale which is raw, gritty, humorous, witty, emotional, and steamy and with suspense and love, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all readers.
Growing up, Damon and Liv had a thing for each other until he broke her heart. Ten years later, can they rekindle what they had? Love these MC books and M. Never did an amazing job with this book.
Aces High: A Baum Squad novel is a tumultuous tale of mayhem, madness, and insatiable passionate love. M. Never has continued to wow and mesmirise me with her powerful words and dramatic characters. It truly was a mindblowing, body bending drama that left me angry, turned on and mighty frustrated. And let me tell you, it was worth all the stress I felt because I was sneakily reading when I was supposed to be doing…… other things
I fell obsessively into adore with these main characters. The secondary characters added dramatic flair and a robustly rounded peak into the lives and loves of these men and women. The leading man made me want to rip ky hair out. The leading lady made me want to scream at her to make him sweat. Be strong, beautiful leading lady. But no, i was thrown around the tempest that was their story. They made me feel. FEEL EVERYTHING. I was hopelessly and happily driven crazy by this colourful cast of lunatics. And loved every minute of it.5 stars.
Wow! What a story! This book had me hooked and on the edge of my seat from the moment I started reading! I loved the characters and though that their chemistry was out of this world. There was drama, suspense and some hot steamy moments that made this book a must read for sure!
By Alisa
I’m always an emotional wreck after reading one of this authour’s books, and this was no exception. If there was a hot, sexy scene happening in the book, it had my eyes tearing up! Liv and Damon had a lot of both of those aspects, and their HEA seemed in danger throughout the whole book. Nothing was simple or straightforward, and every step forward had them sliding backwards seventy-two more. Even when it seemed all would be well, it really wasn’t. Their happiness, finally, made it all the sweeter in the end!
If you’re looking for a second chance MC storyline with a sexy, dirty talking alpha biker, this book is for you. Damon and Liv’s story is filled with angst and danger. A pull that can’t be denied keeps you vested in their journey. A great addition to this series.
5 ACES HIGH STARS!! This book was phenomenal!! Damon and Liv’s story has all the feels, suspense, sexiness, hot bikers and so much love. Their story was perfect and gave me highs and lows on every page. M. Never is an amazing author, her words are like gold and I can’t get enough of them.

I absoutely LOVE this series. The Baum Squad is simply amazing.
Past friends, Liv and Damon (Breaker), are reunited in heartbreak. They confide in each other for emotional support when past demons return with a vengeance. Now there is a deadline and $100k is wanted. If the money is not paid in full it equals death. A trip to Vegas becomes an emotional rollercoaster. Ups and downs, love, and loss will takeover. Buuuut, will it be too late? Will the vultures win?
I sat down and read this whole book in one sitting. I could not put it down. It was so hot and dangerous. I wanted and needed more the whole time. It played with my emotions to the max. I laughed, I swooned and my eyes teared up. All in all, the plot was awesome!
Also, all the characters are the best. I can’t wait to read about the other Baum Squad members.
Damon and Livs story was outstanding OMG I could not put it down for me it was emotional I cried and laughed and cheered them on through every page what strong captivating characters and the words are so well written you feel everything.
They had a beautiful connection along with all the boys and how they are truly a loyal family which I admired and loved and respected I could never get enough of the Baum Squad.
