He went searching for Passion……and learned to love again.Atsa Jacy “AJ” Basillie felt like at thirty-five, he woke up each morning to face the same day, over and over again. The proof that something had to change, came in the form of his beautiful fiancée naked and in bed with another man, and a chance meeting in a bar with an old Navajo biker who poses a simple question;“What’s your passion?” question;
“What’s your passion?”
For AJ that question will become a quest for self-discovery that will take him on his new Harley Davidson to Phoenix, Arizona. There, in the clubhouse of the Phoenix Skulls, and on the edge of the Navajo Nation, his journey will become a timeless experience of family, forgiveness, loyalty and love. He’ll discover ways to open his mind and heart that he never knew existed, and he’ll meet Jolene, a passionate young woman who will teach him that the true key to happiness is learning to love yourself first.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Skulls will have to come together with their brethren in California and Boston to save the life of a young woman. Their goal will be to get Madison to the Southside Skulls ranch in Boston, out of the clutches of the men who want to kill her, and into the arms of her “loving” father. One little problem is that Madison just happens to be the daughter of one of the most infamous bikers to ever sully the Skull’s doorstep.
Another problem, the man who Dax Marshall entrusts with her care, loathes her father more than any of them.
“Lion” has been a nomad for the Skulls long enough to know that family comes first…no matter how despicable that family might be. The quiet, reclusive biker will follow his president’s orders without question, but that doesn’t mean the next seventy-two hours on the road won’t be his most difficult assignment yet.
Saddled with protecting a reluctant flight risk with three inexperienced bikers as help would be bad enough…but the inexplicable desire for the woman sired by the one person on earth he hates the most, might just be his undoing.

Another great addition to this hot MC series though I can say they can all be read as stand-alones but are so much better if you have read them all. This one goes back and forth between AJ himself and Jace so we can keep up with all of them as the two worlds collide. AJ is at a rough point in his life trying to find what will make him happy when he runs across the new Arizona MC as well as the love of his life. The story evolves from there taking us all the way to one fantastic epilogue that will leave you wanting more of this group. A great read for fans of MC romance even if Aj never officially joins.
We enjoyed Aj’s story and we really liked his character.I enjoyed being on his journey about self discovery and getting in touch with and learning more about his family culture and his roots.We loved that Rock graced the pages in this current story and how Rock’s advice set him on a path of finding his passion has well of his soulmate.
I have a say that I loved that he found Jolene because she brought out the free spirit that he kept lock up tight but, always wanted to be free.We loved them together as the were perfect for each other in every way as Jolene’s passion was for life itself and she loved her career that took her to the most amazing places and collected and electric group of lasting relationships with the people she met along her journey.
Madison and Lion though were a bit more interesting.I loved the intense attraction between them the heated looks and lustful thoughts and how those thoughts brought out the green monster in each of them without them really never understanding why and what to do about it.Madison’s story was intriguing and intense at times as you were always waiting for the other show to drop.We would love to see Lion and Madison get there own story as the chemistry was smokin hot between them and although they are complete opposites they would make a interesting couple.
We love seeing the other members like Wolf and Dax and Finn and the others Skulls grace this current story as we loved seeing them again and the interactions with Jace and his club and what he has done with it.Let’s not forget Beck as she makes us laugh but, most of all we just love her as she is almost a Den mother to them all but, most of all just her and Jace together is just super hot.
This author just continues to grip your attention and keep you begging for more! She has created this world of alphas that makes your panties wet and your world steamy and hot. It is a book that makes you feel so many emotions. You will be floored and elated after you e read this book and be asking when will the next one be out.
AJ gets dealt a bad hand. He has to recover from betrayal and in walks joelene. Their story is one that follows the lines of Mc stories, but includes so many parts of a romance that you love that you will devour AJ/Joelene and Lion/Madison!
Another good read in the world of the Skulls. It was interesting to visit other characters and find new ones. Both AJ and Jolene were trying to figure out their lives when they encountered each other. They became part of the Skulls family who helped the two of them realize what was important. I loved how AJ helped with construction for the Skulls while deciding if he wanted to continue owning his company. He was willing to work hard and get back to his Native roots. Whenever Jolene decided to let go and just do, she was a fun-loving person. The two fit well together.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Reviews, and this is my unsolicited review.
4 stars
AJ is another great addition to the Skulls family! This book is another story in the spin off series, the Phoenix Skulls MC. While the characters from previous books overlap, it can be read as a standalone.
AJ’s going through a reawakening and realizing the mistakes he’s made. He doesn’t like the person he’s become and he’s decided on some changes for his next chapter. He’s going from someone that eschewed his heritage to a man embracing where he came from and all that means. Jolene is a perfect complement to AJ and he loves her thirst for life! They are a dear couple and I loved the journey they’re on.
The second part of this story belongs to Lion and Madison and it’s a mere introduction to their story, as I understand they’ll have a book of their own soon. To say Madison has had a time of it would be an understatement but she’s fierce and fiesty, just like her old man, the infamous Hawk. He may not be well liked by many but he’s still family to the Skulls, which makes her family too. Lion is a nomad for the club and when he’s called upon to protect the girl, he does so, despite her unenviable parentage. It’s unlike him to be so drawn to a woman but he’s got a job to do and hooking up with her isn’t in the job description.
Great book with so much to like. Very much looking forward to more about Lion and Madison!

This gifted author continues to amaze me as each book just gets better and better and her talent knows no bounds, especially considering that this is the #26th book in this phenomenal series! This is AJ and Jolene story, as well as Lion and Madison’s. AJ is on a journey to learn more about his heritage, and Jolene’s passion teaches him to open his heart to love. This is a beautifully written intriguing story, which pulls at the heartstrings, and is filled with action, drama, and love.
This is actually two stories that intertwine together. AJ is a man who is scorned and out looking to find what his passion is when he meets Jolene but she is only around briefly and he has some big decisions to make before he can be the man she needs. Madison is running from a past that will hurt her if it ever catches up with her, Lion seems to be the only one who can protect her from the danger but who will save her from him. Amazing book and I can’t wait for more of this series and author. Highly recommend.
