A quick, fast paced, suspenseful ride to go on Judge and Tamalyn. The Devil’s Due MC series so far takes on a journey of redemption, justice, and growth with each character. I am enjoying this ride.

Close the Tab is the third book in the Devil’s Due MC series by Chelsea Camaron. It was quick and read like a novella.
The Devil’s Due MC was created by a small group of men with troubled pasts that are looking to right wrongs that haven’t been resolved through normal legal channels. They are nomads staying no one place for long but roam where the next lead takes them.
Bladen “Judge” Jones and Tamalyn Adams grew up in the same town, best friends then more. They grew up as next door neighbors, living in a hell, but they were there for each other and counted the days until they turned eighteen and took off on their own, leaving their families behind. Bladen vowed to protect her forever.
Bladen was tough, mean and not to be messed with. Once Bladen met up with Tamalyn again, I fell in love with Bladen. He was soft, protective and exhibited a side to him that was only for Tamalyn. I immediately loved it.
Camaron took us through the past and present to catch us up on the backstory. She then took us through the revenge, the two connecting again and battling the new challenges presented to them. Parts were predictable; yet other parts were surprising. It was fast and enjoyable; yet, I was desiring just a bit more depth and explanation.
For my friends who seek safe books, this was in no way safe and includes both physical and sexual abuse, setting off potential triggers.
True to form, the entire Devil’s Due were front and center as supporting cast members. They were delightful and added humor. They also displayed loyalty and kinship. Through Trapper, Deacon and Rowdy, Camaron provided teasers for upcoming stories. We get to see Rowdy first in Day Of Reckoning.
I have to start off by saying that we have really enjoyed this series so far and its characters.
Bladen and Tamalyn have shared a past.They grew up together and both of their fathers were horrible parents and crooked cops.They were separated to keep Tamalyn safe but now the time has come to make things right and stop the hiding and running and finally be together.
I love this kind of story when love stands the test of time.It amazed me that either one even survived childhood with the sick parents they both had.As children they spoke out of the wrong doings yet in this instance the law worked against the innocence as the police covered the misdeeds for the crooked cops so they had no choice but run and hide.
What a heart wrenching story as Tamalyn has never had a moments peace constantly looking over her shoulder living in disguise had to be stressing and lonely never being able to make friends or allow anyone to get close.Your heart broke for her as she was such a sweet and innocent girl.She deserved happiness not pain and suffering.
I loved Tamalyn as she was sweet,kind,resourceful,cared about others.I loved how the tragedies of her past never got the best of her and did not truly changed the sweet and caring person she was already was. Bladen on the other hand was a force to be reckoned with.He is dangerous as well as handsome and is going to finally claim what is his.
This story kept you glued to the pages and the plot was more about just seeking revenge and freeing the innocent. Tamalyn has risked her own life by not sitting back and helping her bosses son who has gotten himself way over his head.The plot just got more intriguing and more dangerous.I love a story about second chances and couples who have to let go of the past and learn to trust and love again and this story was the perfect example of that.
Overall we loved the sense of humor and personalties that the other characters brought to the story it just made the story more engaging.I love when you can connect with the characters you read about and we were able to do that with these main characters.I love when that happens as you are rooting for their happiness through the entire story.I also love how the MC members continue to grace each and every book as they all have a similar past that makes them even more lovable.
One thing to point out about this story and the ones in this series is that that main characters already have a past together and are already connected so when these men decide to claim what they consider theirs they are men of action there is no wooing involved they just take whats theirs. This in my book makes these men even hotter yet!
Another keeper and a recommended read to all MC lovers and the series as well.
5 stars from us
Love this series each book is very heartbreaking , dirty , dark , funny , and steamy Close the Tab has to be one of my favorites and I can not wait for what is to come can be read as a standalone . Bladen / Judge drew me in in the very beginning and with the way Below the line ended I wanted to know more about his history and who was the girl that had his heart . Oh my gosh Tamalyn when we find out what she had to go threw and what she tried to hide from the hero my heart went out to her , she’s sassy , tough , and kind . These two pulled at my heartstrings they had a violent childhood and they only had one another for comfort but that was all that they really needed . I really like second chance romances and this one did not disappoint when they meet again after being away for so long my heart sword and the more time they reconnected I smiled with glee the sex scene was really hot/ powerful . Again Chelsea Camaron teases us with a snippet of Trapper ugh need more please.
