Damon “Breaker” La Rue had two weeks left to live. His father’s debt became his when the deal Jarrod “Bowman” Ward got him was null and void with his passing. The only positive was now that Bowman was gone his daughter, Liv Ward, is back in his life…even if only for the time he has left. Liv & Breaker grew up together in the Baum Squad MC. They both had secret crushes on each other but that was all it was until she comes back home…and she isn’t that little girl anymore. Can he find a way to save his life and win Liv over? Can Liv make his remaining time worth living? Book two in this MC romance series was just what I needed. All the characters from book one make an appearance but this can be read as a stand-alone. Liv and Breaker are on FIRE! This is a great read with lots of sizzle, suspense and action. Everyone should experience having a Breaker in their lives! Told in dual POV
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.M. Never is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
I seriously love M. Nevers words.
Everytime without fail she makes me fall hopelessly in love with her characters.
I read the first two books and absolutely loved them so when i saw there was going to be another Baum Squad book i was in heaven.
Breaker/Damon was bloody brilliant, he knew he wanted the girl so he went after the girl. He was so swoon worthy, he loved hard and fierce and he thought he was doing everything as it should of been.
Liv was a bit of a firework. She was crazy independent and she had abit of a past with Damon but when they reconnect she tries to fight her feelings. She was strong and tried to stand her ground with alot but Damon wasn’t taking no for a answer.
I loved seeing Ky and Kira again and Gerard and Kristen!
Damon “Breaker” La Rue and Liv Ward grew up together in the Baum Squad MC. Their friendship grew into a more adult attraction, but a misunderstanding caused them to go their separate ways. Now years later, both their fathers have passed, and Liv is home for her father’s funeral. This is the chance that Breaker needs to show Liv he is a better man, and that they are meant to be together. But Liv doesn’t trust easily, no matter what her heart tells her to do. When the sins of Breaker’s father is thrust on him, it puts both their lives in peril. Breaker doesn’t want to involve anyone in his problems, but Liv, and his MC family will do what it takes to protect their own. Breaker had his work cut out for him to earn Liv’s trust, his heart was always in the right place, but he didn’t always execute very well. I loved the hilarious banter between the brothers, and no matter how hard they pick on each other, they are completely loyal and devoted to each other. It was also great catching up with all my favorite couples from the first books. This was a raw, heart pounding, and steamy story that kept me riveted from start to finish.
Hold on to your britches! On second thought, just grab an extra pair. This book was H.O.T!
Damon and Liv melted both my kindle and my heart; they were beyond perfect for each other. I loved how this story drew me into the MC world but also, into the characters lives. It was such a fun ride. This is a second chance love story and it is really well written. I loved the way the story came together and the obstacles that were involved. You can just feel their love and passion for each other, but there are things they need to work out first.
The dynamics between the action and the steam really propelled the story and made me keep turning the pages. There was not too much of one over the other and it was well balanced. The more I read the more I realize I’m a character driven book lover and this story certainly has that in spades.
This might be my favorite in the series, but I’m not saying that concretely because I love them all, LOL. This can be read as a standalone but I encourage you to read the entire series. It will give you a deeper understanding of the over all dynamics of the MC club! I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
What a great read! Sexy, exciting, tough, soft, all of it wrapped up in an expanding world filled with hard, intriguing men and strong, feisty women. Damon and Liv have phenomenal chemistry and the storyline has so much going on that I read it at a breakneck pace.
M Never has never failed at bringing to print books that have the ‘it’ factor, one which makes it a sure fire purchase and a fan worthy read.
This is book 2 in the Baum Squad MC Series and it was great to listen to something with a bit more pace. There is plenty of action in a story where Damon is trying to raise funds to clear his dead father’s debt. Along the way there is gambling, beat downs, milkshakes, a bachelorette party, tequila and scorching heat. Liv and Damon knew each other as kids but Liv is jaded from how things went last time and so is more than a little gun shy. With the backdrop of Vegas, Liv helps Damon to raise those much needed funds but things don’t quite go to plan. You’ll have to listen/read to find out what but I promise it’s worth it. Another action packed, fast paced, love story with redemption at its core.
Tough and beautiful describes both Damon and Liv. The grew up in and around the MC. She doesn’t trust him for good reason. He lives up to his man-whore reputation. Together again after ten years they ignite an unstoppable passion. Liv tries to resist and protect her heart but he already stole it. His father’s past almost ruins everything.
5 Stars

I don’t even know where to begin writing this review. I want to tell you everything and nothing all at once!!! I want to tell you so you know just how amazing this story is and I want to tell you nothing so you read and discover it for yourself. Aces High is book two in the Baum Squad series by M. Never and as much as I loved Slashes in the Snow, Ms. Never went above and beyond with this story. Even though this can be read as standalone, I highly recommend reading them in order including the prequel!!!
Just this alone gives you the smallest glimpse of this story:
Two weeks to come up with one hundred thousand dollars. Two weeks to convince the woman I love she loves me too.
Because what could go wrong? What could go right? Nothing, everything, the stuff that happens in between and off to the sides! Not to mention the scenes when you just want to cry and cover your eyes because you can’t believe what just happened!!!!
Damon and Liv’s story starts and ends when they teenagers. That is until years later when the death of Liv’s dad brings their paths back together. What was supposed to be a shoulder to lean on turns into chaos, steamy encounters, drugs, drinks, family, unexpected family reminders, bad deals, debts and soooo much more.
I can’t wait for the next installment!!! Love the Baum Squad and watching them fall.
I really liked Damon and Liv’s story! He’s the hot womanizing biker dude and she’s a businesswoman and son of a biker. They’ve got history but trust is a problem.
His past comes greeting with flying fists and threats. Both in danger they find history repeating itself. It’s hard to stay away when the time is ticking away. The Baum Squad is a family first, with their never ending support, brotherhood and bickering.
But a broken heart was inevitable and despite surviving the impossible, it’s over. Cowardice is not the way of the Bowman’s daughter and Breaker needs to man up.
Another great Baum Squad story!
**Please note, I was given an ARC for each of these books for an honest review of them. These reviews are my own thoughts and feelings and I have had no financial compensation to provide these reviews to you**
So this book went in a direction I didn’t fully expect it to go. I knew that Damon (Aka Breaker) would need to get some money fast, I also knew that he was in an MC. I know that most MCs are there for each other when the stuff hits the fan, so for him to try to go it alone actually disappointed me. I mean I get WHY he wanted to go alone, but still….
Then you throw Liv in. Gotta say, not a fan of how she gets pulled into the scheme to get the money. Seemed almost like there was another way and then the author changed her mind (which she can do) and then threw that part of the plot in there.
Things I enjoyed about this book? The brotherhood not letting Breaker flounder on his own. And Liv’s sisters having her back, from watching over her gallery to then stepping in when Damon comes back to get his woman back. I would love to see their stories unfold, especially if they happen to happen with The Baum Squad. I also love that Liv doesn’t take crap from anyone, including Damon. She jumped right in to help him where she could, even if she was sorta forced to do so.
Liv and Damon had a steamy hot second chance romance. The emotions were strong, the begging from Damon was mostly on point and the suspense and drama kept this book in my hands until I finished. Damon personally took a nose dive for me at the very end with what happened in the bar in order to realize he needed Liv in his life. But Liv and Damon got their happily ever after in the end.
Aces High by M.Never was the perfect mix of dirty, sexy, dangerous and intense ! The MC Romance captured the very essence of the trope so amazingly. Adrenaline was running high and passion was burning hot.
Livey and Damon were childhood friends as her father took Damon under his wing. They belong to the Baum Squad MC Club family. They had this crush since very beginning but on prom night Damon broke her heart and so they never explored their chemistry. Now years later they meet again at the funeral of Liv’s father. Damon is fully living upto his reputation of bad boy manwhore biker man and Liv is pursuing her dream career as gallery owner. One night of red hot passion where they were trying to numb their pain and grief makes them realise they still want and need each other. But Damon has demons chasing him for his life and Liv is soon going to get dragged in the mess. With stakes so high, can Live give him another chance?
Damon fits every woman’s bad boy fantasy. Drop dead gorgeous, cocky, arrogant, charming as a snake and too much sex appeal. But what makes him a great guy is his loyalty to his family and his very own sense of moral compass. He took care of Liv when she needed and he almost lost his life so that he could keep his friends away from danger. Liv is a little spitfire. I love her spirit and sincere soul. It takes a lot to be with a man like Damon who makes more mistakes everyday but this woman has strength in spades! Their chemistry was absolutely hot and full of angst. Heartbreak, misunderstandings, pain and love all were there. And they were thrown into this complex plot where they were running for their lives. And I loved to meet the old friends from Baum Squad again! I love this hot bunch.
Aces High by M.Never was a thrilling and sensual MC Romance. It will be one intense and steamy read !
Received ARC for Honest review
Aces High by M. Never is book Two in the Baum Squad Series. This is the story of Damon ‘Breaker’ La Rue and Liv Ward. I have read the previous book but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Liv and Damon both grew up in the Baum Squad biker gang. Although Liv left when she was around 17 and did not return. But now her father there has passed and she has returned after about 10 years. Liv isn’t letting her heart get broken by Damon again so she has her shields up around it. Damon was a playboy who knew in the back of his mind that he let the one women get away that he could really care for. Now she is back but his life is in danger so he has to end that threat while try to convince Liv that he wants more.
Enjoyed this second chance at love.
You never forget the one you truly love, no matter how much time passes. And that’s what happens here with Liv and Damon. Even though he broke her heart and she left, not even the ten years could dim their attraction. Now, dealing with Damon’s issues, they also have to navigate their relationship and Liv has to be willing to give it a try again.
ugh this was so endearing. freaking LOVED damon but heck, if I hadn’t read his point of view, I would totally be seeing him as a playboy especially with what Liv saw at the casino along with everything else she’s witnessed. childhood friends who grew apart after a dreamy night gone wrong, only to be brought together again at a funeral.
Before the story ever really began, I was already in awe by character development with Liv and her half sisters. and the way Damon wears his heart on his sleeve with her was so romantic aside from his douchery ways. he said it best after their meeting. you never know somethings missing until after you find that piece. complete womanizer who cant even imagine settling down only to be left breathless with Liv being the only one to give him air.
sorry, not trying to make this story sound corny haha of course theres action and suspense! his past and the whole plot involving it was incredible. and ohhh my gosh of course, a lot of steamy scenes on here of Liv being worshiped by someone as experienced as he. I enjoyed seeing Gerard and Ky’s relationship on here as well. this was a great story although I must admit, I wish I had known what had happened to knuckles
Excellent Series!
This second chance love story was amazing!!!! M. Never always hits a home run!!!! M’s books are never a disappointment!!!!! Five stars for this phenomenal book!!! Brilliantly written!!!!
That was damn good!!! Aces High is an emotional rollercoast, at least it was for me. Liv and Damon’s story is one of a kind. M.Never did a fantastic job with their story. One scene had me squirmy after reading it. That’s a first for me. I hope there will be more of the Baum Squad.
Oh my lord! This has it all. A love that never had a start but a second chance. Sins of the father that a son must correct. Life and death!! Damon and Liv are so much that and more! I was thrilled and excited about this M Never book as I am about all of her books. This series is shaping up to be one of my favorites!
