He stalked me from the moment he saw me. He watched me day and night. Butcher is what everyone calls crazy. They see all the tattoos and scars and to be honest, to most people he looks downright scary. He’s dangerous. He is after all the enforcer to the Devil Souls MC. But to me? He’s just Butcher. I see him. I see who he really is. I see a man who will do anything for the people he cares about. … people he cares about. I see the man who will protect and love me above everything else.
I am just as obsessed with him as he is me. I will die for him and he would kill for me.
What everyone doesn’t know is I have the same crazy inside of me…
This book can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended to read the first two first.

HOLY MOTHER OF BOOK LOVERS!!!
LeAnn, I FREAKIN LOVED THIS BOOK! I LOVE the whole series. This book is my favorite so far. It’s exciting and suspenseful and intense. At times I was laughing so hard I snorted. That back and forth banter between Shay and Butcher cracked me up. Lol. And at times I was crying so hard I couldn’t see to read. Butcher is a gorgeous mountain of a man with a cock to match. He is battling some demons that have made him withdraw from everyone. He doesn’t talk to anyone unless he absolutely has to. The first time he lays eyes on Shaylin he’s head over heels. Shaylin is what you’d call a princess to the Grim Sinners MC. She’s a beautiful tiny little spitfire who knows how to kick ass and take names. I freakin loved her. She can fight and shoot a gun as good as any man and that makes her even more attractive to Butcher. He can’t bare to let her out of his sight because of a horrible trauma he suffered. He starts following her everywhere and even goes as far as sleeping on her porch. He feels very protective over her. At first Shay thinks it crazy but as time goes on she starts to get used to it and starts to enjoy getting to know him better. Eventually the sparks start to fly and their chemistry explodes off the pages. Shay starts to want more and Butcher is entirely happy to give it to her. Watching their love grow had me melting. At times the excitement was so intense I almost peed my pants. Lol. And can I just say, the sex almost set my Kindle on fire. They’re so smokin hot together especially Butcher. He most definitely knows how to satisfy a women. HOLY CRAP! There were surprises around every corner. I especially loved it when Shay kicked someone’s ass. I stayed up until 9am the next morning until I was finished. When little Tiana comes into the picture I was on Cuteness Overload. Watching her grow closer and closer to Shay and Butcher was so heartwarming I cried in sadness about her abuse and cried in happiness seeing her open up to everyone. The first time she calls Butcher and Shay Mommy and Daddy I’m so happy I think my heart is gonna explode out of my chest. I love MC books that include adorable little kids. Watching her wrap Butcher around her little finger and watching Butcher finally open up not just to Shay but to the whole club was so awesome. Every time Tiana held her little arms out to someone to hold her it squeezed my heart just alittle more. When she thanks Shay for giving her a bath I bawled. I used to work at a jail and saw alot of child abuse cases and it is so heartbreaking it makes me cry just thinking about it. As a matter of fact we’ve just had a bad case where I lived involving a 2 year old little boy. He is 2 and he still crawls. His father put hot sauce in his mouth and up his nose and his mother put duct tape over his nose and mouth as punishment. The neighbors complained of the constant crying and always seeing him covered in bruises and called CPS. THANK GOD! I can’t even think about how this sweet little boy has suffered and for how long. I’m still crying just thinking about it. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE! I loved this book so much I can read it again and again. So LeAnn who’s next? Wilder and Joslyn, Paisley and Liam, Lane and Amelia, or Smiley and Adeline? I CAN’T FREAKIN WAIT!!

Butcher and Shay were freaking crazy, but I loved them. I am interested to read more about the other club which is Shay’s family.
This one had me hooked from the very beginning to the very end. I absolutely loved Butcher and Shay. He sees her and instant wants her. He follows her around and wont let her out of his sight. To the point you would think it might stalking. But it is him protecting her because of his past. Once they get together nothing stands in the way of them having a future. These two instantly hit it off and have such a great chemistry. He would give her the world if he could. One night Shay finds a little girl locked in a car. That is the night that changes everything for these two. I absolutely loved this storyline. It was sweet, hardcore at times and loving. It was enjoyable from beginning to end. I absolutely loved the love between Shay and Butcher. Highly recommend reading this one.
OMG where do I start with this review….. I just finished it and I needed so much more. This is another amazing read by LeAnn. She sure knows how to write an MC story that grips you right from the first page and keeps you reading till the end and when the end comes you still want more.
This is Butcher and Shaylin’s story and what a story it is. Shaylin has grown up in the MC life and she knows what she wants out of life. She owns her own bakery and loves to cook. One day she is at a restaurant eating with her friends when she meets the big brooding biker Butcher.
Butcher sees Shaylin and something snaps in him and he knows he has to have her. She is it for him and he will stop at nothing to get her. So he follows her everywhere and keeps an eye out for her. Then one day she has had enough and wants to get Butchers full attention and she does. When these two come together it is all fireworks.
I love this series and couldn’t wait to read Butcher’s story. He is my favorite and I couldn’t wait to see his development and Shaylin’s. However, in my opinion, this story was inconsistent and a bit all over causing me to lose interest partway through. While not every book will be for everyone, I do encourage others to give this series a shot because it is worth reading for the action and drama throughout.
Butcher what can you say WOW , loved this book I’d say these get better and better but it’s hard to pick which one they are sooo good ! Butcher and Shaylin are the perfect crazy together, love them. Again couldn’t put the book down and didn’t want it to end. I’d say it again I love her epilogues ! I’m a big fan of them and doesn’t dissapoint with this book/series ! Can’t wait to read the next book!!
I voluntary reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
I love reading about Butcher and Shaylin again I really loved them so much that every time I read about their story again I always be like when do I get to read more about this couple I just love the way you wrote this story and I can’t wait to read about their kids.
Butcher what can I say about this man … Strong silent deadly and oh so loveable . Shay this girl is definitely not silent but oh so deadly and completely loyal and loving . These two together is amazing and they quickly became one of my all time favorite couples. I’m not one to give long reviews or spoilers . Just not my style so let me get to the point. Buy this book you will not regret it and you can thank me later .

Butcher was the third book in the Devil Souls MC series by LeAnn Ashers.
Shayla was the daughter and sister to the Grim MC former and current president. She was the MC princess. She was raised fully protected by the MC but also raised to be independent and could rival any threat.
Butcher was a patched member of the Devil’s Souls MC, a friend to the Grim’s. He lost his family when he was younger and was a Navy Seal. He had demons and had crazy down to an art. The second he locked eyes with Shayla, he was forever hers.
I’m now not only used to Ashers’ over the top writing style but I expect it, anticipate it and love it. Through it, she gave me my over protective yet sweet alpha, my strong kickass woman and a suspenseful MC storyline. I couldn’t have been happier. Remember, if you like over the top, then you’ll love this series. If not, well then not so much. For me, it was perfect and a quick, light hearted and entertaining read.
I also loved that she meshed the two MC’s which prepped us for the Grim spinoff series that begins with Shayla’s brother, Lane. She additionally set the stage for the next Devil’s Souls book, Liam. I totally can’t wait.
Thoughts – on Series
Let’s start off by saying that this was a brand new author for us and are we throughly enjoy this MC box set was each and every club members story was a blast.One thing we loved most about the series is that we loved all the characters as well as the women that they made their old ladies.
Out of all the stories Torch and Techy’s stories were my favorites and I definitely developed a bit of a soft spot for both of them and in my opinion were definitely swoon worthy.One thing I loved about all these MC members how protective they were of their women as it was hot as hell and sure made me want to have one of them for my own ! lol It amazed me how all of them new for the onset of meeting their women that they were the one for them and took what the wanted right then and there.They had claimed their women from the onset of meeting them but, what I loved most is how each and every one of them courted their women as it was really sweet and endearing and boy did they spoil them lol. I will also say that I was in awe of these men as It was evident from the onset of the story how dangerous and violent these men could be but, when I came to their women in their presence they were all little lambs.All these men it was like they had two different personalties at any given time as the could be sweet and kind and caring as well as possessive and protective but, the minute their women or brothers or their families were threatened a switch was flipped and they all became lethal deadly killing machines.
Torch and Kayla what a whirlwind romance as Torch saved Kayla from being a victim of a women trafficking ring and from the minute they met is protective instincts took over and he was a goner.Kayla impressed me with her independence and the life she lived and never let her blindness get the best of her.I loved how regardless of her blindness she new for the onset of meeting Torch that he would be someone who she could trust. Omg ! did this couple have chemistry! I loved them together they were so sexy together and clearly perfect for one another.I loved Kayla she was one tough cookie and I have to say I loved the set down she gave a prospect who insulted her she had me laughing out loud when she took care of business.I loved Torch’s possessiveness,his protective instincts and how he raised his daughter all on his own and did a damn good job of it.We also loved all those dark bits of him he is someone you definitely one someone in your corner.
Techy and Alisha were another favorite couple of ours. Techy made me hot !He surprised me the most as he was totally a alpha and I never really expected that of him.I loved his protective instincts of Alisha and the lengths he went to keep her safe.Omg !Techy was one totally sexy hot alpha that made a girls panties wet! We enjoyed the romance between Alisha and Techy as it was a sweet courtship but, once he claimed her fully we saw a whole other side of his alpha-ness but, most of all he an Alisha were perfect for another and made the cutest couple.”We loved them !”
Butcher & Shaylin
Butcher was definitely a character that was full of layers as well as being very dark,dangerous and he carried this sadness and heartache around constantly with him and our heart broke for the pain he carried around within him all the time. Shaylin was a character that was a lot of fun as she was one of those little bad-asses. I loved the little MC princess who seemed deal with intense situations cool and calmly and never flinched and is someone you want in your corner when crap is going down around you.We loved how confident she always seem to be and yet surprised us in the next breath with owning a bakery and baking being her passion as it seemed so out of character for her.Did I mention she was a club Princess of another club and had a over protective father (Smiley) and brother (Lane) and a whole slew of uncles who were over protective of her and then comes along the Butcher from the Devil Souls who is dark and dangerous and claims her from the moment he set eyes on her.Can you say shit hit the fan ! lol Omg ! Did we love how Butcher finally claimed Shaylin as it was priceless! We loved their ending as it was perfect and we loved seeing Butcher for the first time in which seemed like forever happy.
Liam and Paisley
Poor Paisley has been the one women who has been getting targeted the most due to
the fact that she is the Club Princess of the Devil Souls and also the fact that her father Torch is their VP is not helping matters it just makes the target bigger.Liam and Paisley have been in love with each other since High School but, after years apart he is back to claim his women.This story was full of tons of drama due to the fact the the clubs enemies have been targeting the old ladies so as you can imagine the war became more deadly and the club is out to eliminate their enemies and their out for blood.
Liam was yet another alpha in the mix of things.We love his cockiness his swag and good looks.We loved his possessiveness and how protective he was of Paisley but, one thing for sure is Paisley is no wilting flower.Liam his some brass balls for sure taking on Torch Paisley’s father when it comes to claiming his baby girl.We have to say there were some
really funny standoffs between the two throughout the story that made us laugh out loud more than once.
Paisley and Liam made the perfect couple they were so sweet together.This couple had major chemistry and were clearly deeply in love with one another.I loved Paisley’s sense of humor and outgoing personality.One of the things we loved about Liam as well as
the other members is how when they are in public with their women they make sure the men around them know for sure their women are claimed by them which
made for some memorable moments throughout the story time and time again. lol
We loved the conclusion to this on going series as this last story was filled with so much drama had tons of sub plots and the story had you on edge even more wondering if they all were going to come out un scathed from this war.I have to give a shout out to the old ladies of this club as they made us laugh out loud time and time again not only that we loved how they
had each others back and even proved it once or twice which lead to some really hilarious moments.
For us this was a awesome series as all the character’s were all so love-able that you could not help but form and connection with them.We loved that these dark and dangerous men found their perfect mates and although the road to their happily ever after was fraught with twists and turns and danger we loved falling in love with these character’s along the way and we really enjoyed being on their adventures to get their.he entire series
Butcher is book 3 in the Devil Souls MC Boxset by Leann Ashers
Shaylin is the daughter of a retired MC President and Sister of the Current MC President and Butcher is a member of the Devil Souls MC who is over protective of her since she is the only thing he has cared about since his family died in a car accident when he was 18 years old.
Trouble is following the women associated with both MC’s due to a human trafficking operation that they kind of broke up from “Torch: Devil Souls MC Book #1”.
From dogs to snappy women this is a crazy ride, love this book. Two people have never been more made for each other than Shaylin and Butcher.
Protection is the theme of this book and I enjoyed every second of it.
Shaylin, or Shay, has grown up in the MC world. Her father was the President of the Grim Sinners MC and now her brother has assumed that role. Violence and vengeance are both concepts she is very familiar with. Respect needs to be earned, and family is important to above all. She loves her family and accepts that she is very much her father’s daughter. People don’t understand the men in the MC life. They may look dangerous and deadly, and they are, but they are also highly protective and caring. Shay has always had a thing for bad boys, but it looks like Butcher is in a league all his own.
Butcher has not had the easiest life. Growing up it was great, but tragedy hit early and left a mark that was deep and never ending. It helped to shape the man he is today. His brothers in the Devil Souls MC help to keep him centered and allow him to be himself. But it is Shay that shakes him to his very soul. She ignites a protectiveness that is all consuming and deadly. He will destroy anyone that threatens her in any way. She becomes his world with one glance and owns his soul with one sigh. Her beauty captivates, but what really trips his trigger is the glimpse of vengeance that she keeps hidden behind her sweet smile.
Even though she grew up in an MC world, Shay is still innocent to some of the entanglement that can follow the lifestyle. But her father always made sure that she could protect herself. She keeps her own brand of crazy hidden deep, but now is the time for it to unleash. There is danger stalking Shay both the Grim Sinners and Devil Souls will band together to combat the threats against them. Butcher finds the crazy that lives within Shay matches the crazy that he doesn’t’ even try to hide. They are both vengeance and violence wrapped in protection and love.
I so thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were awesome and the writing pulled me directly into the book. Shay and Butcher are a beautiful couple. Yes, both have moments of crazy, but they balance the other and show a couple that is completely in tune with each other. The sexy parts are tantalizing and both of these characters are strong and forces tone reckoned with, separately or together. After finishing BUTCHER I immediately went out and bought the rest of LeAnn Ashers stories and am now hooked! Awesome story with great storyline and great characters. This is definitely a recommended read for me!
Surprises around every corner! Just when I thought I knew what was coming next, this author had something totally different up her sleeve! Butcher and Shaylin are absolutely perfect for each other!
Where Shay had a good upbringing, as the princess of the Grim Sinners MC, Butcher has secrets in his past that have made him who he is. Even though he is a member of the Devils Souls MC, and would do anything for his brothers, he is the quiet one, the loner. He sees Shay, and something grabs hold of him, and won’t let him let her go.
Sparks flew between these two right from the beginning, and just got hotter the further I read. I loved how gentle Butcher could be with Shay, and how tough Shay could be when it was needed. This story shows exactly how well they fit each other!

He stalked me from the moment he saw me. He watched me day and night.
Butcher is what everyone calls crazy. They see all the tattoos and scars and to be honest, to most people he looks downright scary. He’s dangerous. He is after all the enforcer to the Devil Souls MC.
This series has stayed consistent from the start and just gets better and better I bloody loved Torch, worshiped Techy and then LeAnn gives me Butcher, when I read about Butcher in the earlier books I expected his book to be special and boy she did me proud .Introducing us to Some great new characters and yet still keeping us in touch with the old.I think that’s what makes this series for me how they all are linked many books forget about the rest of the cast and just simply move on and never mentioning the others which for me sort of spoils a series, The Story line is very creative and so interesting and I couldn’t put it down.
I LOVED THE BOOK! and truly loving the whole series. This book is my favorite so far. It was exciting and intense. Also some incredibly funny parts where I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants, But with the laughter came the lows and at times hand me shedding tears. Butcher can=me across as a gorgeous mountain of a man with a c**K to match.
He was battling some serious demons of his own that had him withdrawing from everyone.
I loved Shaylin and when Butcher sets eyes on her its love at first sight. She can fight and shoot a gun as good as any man and that makes her even more attractive to Butcher.
He starts following her everywhere and even goes as far as sleeping on her porch. He feels very protective over her. At first Shay thinks he’s crazy. Eventually the sparks start to fly and their chemistry explodes off the pages. Watching their love grow had me melting. At times the sex almost set my Kindle on fire. They’re so hot together especially Butcher. He most definitely knows how to satisfy a women. If he was real life man I would be snapping him right up. The subject matter in this one is dark child abuse but handled well in this book, Butcher melted my heart
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE! I loved this book so much I can read it again and again. I know Liam’s Book is next and I CAN NOT WAIT FOR IT
These books have it all they are compulsive with harrowing subjects but lightened with the humor, romance, the darker side we know is there and characters you would definitely want in your corner for me this is what an MC Series should be, Leann these are incredible books with an original and riveting plot and a fascinating landscape filled with varied and complex individuals….each character from the MC family is worthy of his or her own story..
Butcher
The only niggle I have is the story was mostly told from Shaylin’s point of view ,but every so often there is a short section devoted to Butcher but would loved to have seen his POV a bit more often, I am finding my self leading to those kind of books more and more it gives more depth to the story and in this case would have provided a much better understanding of Butcher, the bits we did get gave an insight into his feelings and a window into the events in his past that drive his actions in the present day and they were good just not enough..There are some really note worthy moments in this book but one of my favorites is the first encounter Shaylin has with Butcher and the subsequent afternoon they spend in each others company…it is comical and magical.
This book was a gripping fast paced thriller with some really sweet romantic moments and of course some thoroughly hot and steamy ones too…
Leann Asher you have just become my go to for MC READS loved it

This book is everything I hoped for and more. It is dark, sweet, and fun. From the first paragraph, you’re hooked. When Butcher locks eyes with Shay, the instant connection is palpable. I love how the author is able to bring these vibrant characters to life with such a deft hand. Ms. Ashers does such a fantastic job that I can hear the motorcycles revving up and speeding off. I cannot wait to crack open another book by Leann Ashers
