If you love this author and love the Hangmen, you need to read this book.
Plain and simple, no question.
I’m not going to say one bit about the plot but just say that this is one of the best books of the series (and for me to say that you know it must be fabulous!) and then leave you with my favourite quotes.
It was Cowboy. His smiles. His kind heart. And it was Hush. The mysterious closed-off man that I yearned to unlock.
“Two people who are lost, two people who don’t know how the fuck to escape the darkness they’re living in.”
And my personal favourite that made me laugh out loud…….
“You’re my baby fucking sister. Now you’re in bed with not one but two brothers, who quite honestly could be fucking each other too. All I see in my head whenever you three are mentioned is a conga line of pussy, cocks and assholes. It’s fucking with my head!”
But I will just add…Viking…..omfg I love him. I cannot wait for his book. It is just going to be epic!
**trigger warnings abuse, violence, bullying**
We got a hint of this one coming early on as well. So lets meet Hush, Cowboy and Sia. Yes, Sia is Ky sister and she has not been part of the club. Still she knows what goes on and how things work in the club. So we find out her story and why she stays hidden. Well what do you expect a teenage girl to do but act wild. One night she makes a decision that changed her life and it got worse before it was better. She got the attention of a powerful man in the cartel and what she went through was not easy. Well know her past is coming back to haunt her but she does not want to hide out in the club. She wants to be home. She thinks that she will be safe. Here I am thinking she is crazy. In the meantime she is to be watched over by Hush and Cowboy. Now these two men are something. Hush is quiet and he has some issues. Not anything bad, just how he feels and things that happen he blames on himself. Hearing what he went through and then finding out his friend was took part in some of it. Ouch, but Cowboy redeems himself that is for sure. Now they are interested in Sia and vice versa. This is definitely a slow burn but when it happens all bets are off. Then it happens and good lord does it all go awry. Secrets are revealed, rescue mission going on and finding peace. It all happens and I teared up. Geez what book have I not cried while reading. We do get a happily ever after but it was a close call too. What will happen next in this series.
I really enjoyed this one it’s not quite as dark as some of the others in content but it’s still pretty messed up I’m measuring it against the others in the series and some of them have been very graphic and dark so in comparison this was much less.
This story operates on the fringes of the club all three being slightly outsiders Sia because of her father’s actions and troubled past and cowboy and Hush their nomad lifestyle.
Sia is the hidden sister of the hangman’s VP Ky. Years ago he and Styx helped her escape from a Mexican trafficker who was obsessed with her and had claimed her as his own.
Sia has some serious scars from her ordeal and doesn’t trust easily living under an assumed name and running a small horse ranch is the only peace and relief she now finds from her recurring nightmares
When her brother receives a black rose delivered to the compound he realises Juan is back and looking for Sia. Desperate to protect her he tries to bring her back into the fold but Sia is having none of it and insists on returning to her ranch so Hush and Cowboy are sent along with her for protection with strict instructions that she’s off-limits.
There’s a lot of back story with this one Sia is somewhat broken as is Hush who wants her but doesn’t feel he’s worthy mostly because of his past. This also touches on a lot of deep issues that were definitely not glossed over. Hush’s backstory is absolutely tragic and this past has bonded them Cowboy and Hush now come as a package and he is the light and laughter to Hush’s darker charm.
Sia finds with them a sense of peace and safety but when her past catches up on them it sends Hush into a spiral where’s he forced to confront his past if he ever wants to move forward with Cowboy and Sia.
There plenty’s of outside forces working against this trio and they all have a lot to lose.
The bond formed between these three was beautiful and eventually healing for everyone Sia is the missing link that makes them all whole.
This was a great addition to the series and I liked it a lot the relationship here was unconventional but you could really feel the love and emotion.
I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did but it was just so emotionally charged.
Definitely recommend this series it’s a dark one but a good one.

“Kärleken ser inte färger. Bara rena hjärter.”
-Love does not see colors. Just pure hearts.-
I don’t know where to start with this review.
This book was sad… incredibly sad. It broke my heart from beginning to end!
This book definitely was different from all the other books in this series. I loved it!! It had me laughing at all the things cowboy said. And Viking!!! That guy didn’t know when to shut his mouth! But everything that went on in this book and how it all played out. Just left me feeling broken for everyone involved. Hush, Cowboy & Sia had gone through so much it was so hard to read.
But, this story just broke my heart for Hush! He was so incredibly broken. His whole life he had to endure such hatred from people. It was so ingrained into him he didn’t know how to let it all go. He shouldered it all and convinced himself that he was the blame for all things that went bad. It was truly hard to read! I had tears in my eyes reading about his past.
Cowboy… he really turned himself around at a young age and choose another way life and not the one that was expected of him by his family & friends. He became Hush’s best friend and later he became Hush’s brother. They leaned on each other. Knew what the other was feeling and thinking just by looking at each other.
Sia… she had so much hatred for the club. She blamed it for everything that went wrong with her life. But that hatred landed her in a bad place at a young age. It left her broken. She never thought she would be able to get close to another person again.
So when Hush and Cowboy came into her life. They all broke down each walls. And slowly worked on getting through all the bad stuff that has happened to them.
Cowboy I felt was the glue that held them all together. He knew how far to push both of them to get them past all their hurt and pain they were feeling. They worked together! But, Sia and Cowboy worked more to show and prove to Hush that he was worth more than anything.
This story was so much… I absolutely loved it! I loved all the cajun French and Swedish words and phrases Cowboy and Hush used. I never used Goggle translate so much!!! lol
I never in a million years would’ve pictured Hush & Cowboys story to be so heartbreakingly sad! But it worked for me!! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
**These book need to read in order… you can’t just pick any book and jump right in! You will be lost!**
*ARC provided for an honest review*
This story is about Cowboy, Hush and Sia. Cowboy and Hush share a close bond and Sia is just what they need to complete them. This story was sad. But it was also hopefull. Hush was struggling with a lot of things. His story was so tragic. Cowboy was fun, and seemed easy going but carried a lot of pain for Hush. This story was also dark and twisted. But with a light at the end.
Omg yall this book was amazing! Theres so much love. Love between friends, siblings, the brotherhood of the MC, and the love shared between Sia and her men. Theres still all the shit brewing between the MC and their enemies, but ahh my heart! There were so many feels. Hush, Cowboy and Sia healed and loved each other perfectly. We learn so much about their pasts and some of it broke my heart but Im telling yall the emotional connection and love these three have put it back together and then some
Sia, Hush and Cowboy
A friggen mazing. No other words needed.
I loved Cowboy, Hush and Sia’s story! Tillie Cole is an amazing writer. I’m constantly on the edge of my seat!
This book is just as dark, twisted, gritty, dirty and ruthless as the previous books in the series and since these books should be read in order, if your at this book in the series you know exactly to expect when it comes to this authors writing style. If a clean simple read is what your looking for, run far away from this series. I promise you it’s not what your looking for. However, if you like it dark, twisted and gritty as I do and can take it for the story that it is…. this is the book for you. This book gives us Sia, Hush and Cowboy’s story and I loved the three of them together. I hated what happened to Hush especially; him and his parents but he pulled through and that made him a stronger man and he did it with Cowboy at his side. Cowboy deserves his own acknowledgement for being able to change and be a better person. Sia was a strong woman and I loved how she stood up to her brother and any of the Hangmen crew. This was not an easy story to read but it was one I did end up enjoying and I look forward to the next book in the series. I’m definitely excited to read more about these characters.
Tillie Cole is ripping me apart with this series. Each book is so dark and gritty and raw. The characters are so tortured. The plots are fast paced and so layered it made my head spin. This is one of my new favorite series and I will definitely be recommending it to everyone!
It’s been a while since I left the Hades Hangmen compound and I’d forgotten how much I love the series. Crux Untamed was a heartbreakingly emotional read. With the destruction of the religious cult, this book took a different turn. We obviously got the dark and raw side of the MC lifestyle with the war that they had with the cartel. However, much of the book focused on the violence and the prejudical treatment that mixed raced people encountered in parts of the world even during modern times.
The romance between Cowboy, Hush and Sia was unconventional but somehow it worked perfectly. My heart ached for Hush’s unjust past and I could totally see where his self-loath and low sense of worth came from. Sia was damaged from her awful past haunted by an evil man. Sweet Cowboy, who was selfless and loyal, saw the two broken souls and determined to help them heal. The three of them fitted together seamlessly and I could not image them being anything but a threesome.
I truly enjoyed this emotional and powerful MFM MC romance and would highly recommend it. I am so looking forward to Tanner’s story which would be up next.
Oh holy there aren’t words to describe this book. I absolutely loved Sia, all the ladies of the Hangmen series are quietly strong but Sia was in your face strong when she needed to be. Hush and Cowboy, oh the love I have for them.
I cannot wait to see where this series lands next! I really hope Viking gets a story and Crow too who is a mix of Viking and Flame. Rudge sounds equally as fascinating and it will be interesting to see if he is incorporated in the stories going forward.
3.5 stars
Not my favorite book in the series but I still liked it. It was heartbreaking, intense, sexy & suspenseful.
I loved Hush, Sia & Cowboy together. I liked their day-to-day life, the stuff they had in common & every romantic interlude they shared. They just felt right together. I do wish we would’ve gotten more “together time” with them after Hush fully realized that he belonged in their relationship though. I get that he had to conquer his demons before that happened & that it wasn’t gonna be a quick & easy thing to do but it stretched on for what seemed like ages. So happy that he was able to get some revenge though.
While I was diggin’ this threesome, I sometimes found the overall storyline a bit tiresome. It just didn’t feel totally fresh (the relationship did but not the rest) & I actually found myself speed reading a bit in parts, like during flashbacks, in hopes we’d get back to the threesome or even back to the MC itself soon.
I can see why Tanner’s story is up next but still kinda bummed about it. Not too excited for a Mexican cartel princess storyline… Feel like I’ve read so many of those. I’ll read it but the book I’m really looking forward to is Viking’s! He was such a scene-stealer in this one!! 🙂
Cole has out done herself with this one. There is something wrong with you if you don’t get hot and bothered when Sia, Hush, and Cowboy comes together. These three all have things in their past that come to the for front, that can make it so that they can’t be together. And when you add in Ky, the VP of the Hangmen and Sia’s brother, they have a lot going against them.
This story is more that only three people finding love. They are also having to work thru their pasts, so that they can move forward. Your heart will hurt when your reading the things that each of them have been thru.
The one thing that I have always loved about each of the books in this series is that no two couples story is the same. And these characters story was one that had me wanting to keep reading once I started. I was so sucked into the story that when it came to an end I found myself in a book hangover. And I haven’t had one of those from this series since reading Flame and Maddie’s story.
“Love doesn’t see color. Only pure hearts”
If you haven’t read this series, you are definitely missing out. I’ve been dying for Hush & Cowboy’s story and wow what an emotional and absolutely phenomenal story it is. Sia, Hush and Cowboy have been through so much and together they can get everything and finally find peace. I absolutely love every minute of this book and the characters I absolutely love. This story deals with so much, and will definitely tug at your heartstrings. Another Phenomenal 5 Star read that everyone needs to read. I can’t wait for Tanner’s story next.
I cannot even begin to describe the rage and the anger I felt whilst reading Hush, Cowboy and Sias story. The many tragedies and atrocities perpetrated are numerous and horrifying. I am at a loss for words. Heartbreaking. Devastating. The suffering and loneliness they all feel is hard to read about. But they had to go through it all to become the strong and loyal people they are today. The long road of denial and keeping things locked behind closed doors agent out the window the second they met , the three broken souls. Their story and journey was hard to read, but so well written and it most certainly did them justice. I cannot wait to read Tanner and Adelitas tale! I’m sure that makes me a masochist! All the pain and misery, I can’t help but read it.
***5 ‘Love Doesn’t See Color’ Stars***
Whoop! The Hangmen are back and holy hell what a motherfuckin’ ride Crux Untamed was!
Dark, gritty, heartwarming and heartbreaking…I mean seriously the FEELS are epic in this one. Hush, Sia and Cowboy just grabbed hold of me from the first page and did not let go. Not once. Not through the frustration, the laughter, the melting of everything that could melt. These three captured my heart separately and together. You want fierce, loyal and stubbornly determined? You get it in spades with these three and journey they go on together.
As for where the series is going. Ms. Cole has been hinting at it and if you’ve read the entire series (which is a MUST) you’ve probably got a few ideas swimming around in your head. I’m not gonna spoil it for you, but I will say that she pulled the motherfucking trigger and what’s coming is going to be EPIC!
This is definitely NOT my normal style of review, but in order to stay on the non-spoilery track it had to be done this way. But I cannot leave out my love for the cast of characters that make up this world. I loved that we got a bit of time with each of the characters that we’ve come to love, in one way or another, Lil Ash and Styx (sigh) but I have to admit that I absolutely adore Beauty and Viking, OMFG! This man. There really are no words, but I love what he brings to the table. There are also a few newbies, one in particular was just *sighs and fans self*…so toes crossed that there will be more from them all heading our way.

Wow !!!
Omg this book was AMAZING and so heart breaking. I think this author is trying to kill me. These books just keep getting better I think I addicted to the Hade Hangman MC. Every guy and woman are just so good but there stories just seen to be getting more heart breaking. I was dying to know what had happened with Sia. She has been in a few of the books and I knew something had happened so I was looking forward to this.
Sia is the sister of the Hade Hangmen MC VP Ky. She has been kept away from the MC all her life her dad was the VP and now her brother was. She hated the club it has never brought her any happiness. She luvd her brother so much and he would do anything for her. He has done loads for her in the past and she can’t thank him enough with what he has done. Sia hasn’t had it easy she keeps herself to herself. There is a reason for that but the secret has never been told the only person that know are Ky and the Prez of the MC Styx. But her past is finally catching up to her she knew it could happen.
Hush and Cowboy have been inseparable for years they have both had there fair share of horrible things happen in there lives. But Hush has had the worst being a mixed race man things haven’t been easy. Where Hush is from they didn’t do mixed race well. So things had happen that have caused Hush so much pain and he is still real by with them things now. But Cowboy has been there for him and he alway will. I luv how close these to characters are.
Sia hasn’t done relationships in a long time. But there was something about Hush and Cowboy that made her safe and she needed that more then anything. But things weren’t easy for the 3 of them. Cowboy that is a fun luving guy Hush is more into himself and doesn’t feel like he is good enough. Then there is Sia who has dealt with so much drama at times she didn’t think she could deal anymore. Her ranch and her horses are what keep her sane and now these 2 men were fitting into her life to. But being different wasn’t goin to easy but you can’t alway help who you fall for.
What a book this story had me so addicted from the start. I luv this authors writing I get sucked into the story and I m on the edge of my seat without the whole thing. The twists and turns are just crazy I couldn’t believe what had happen in all there lives. They had to deal with horrible things. But they were so close to each other and in someway they needed each other. They made each other feel better and safer. They did have to over come so many things in this book and I was wondering if they would ever get a break. This series is just brilliant I m dying for more. I really don’t want this series to end. I m not a fan of long series but I don’t want this series to end EVER.
I can’t believe we are already into the 6th novel of this series, this is one of my favourite series of all time and i am loving each and every book.
The thing i love about this series is that not all the relationships between the characters are the same, they have such different stories and different pasts and i can’t already wait to read the next stories.
This one was the most different out of all the books as it was mfm but the thing that Tillie Cole does best is she makes it tasteful and such a beautiful story. This book brings out the issue with blacks and whites more than any other in the series and it was so heartbreaking and actually really hard to read and remember that there can be racist people out there.
Where to start with these characters all three of them were perfect, cowboy was the light for both Sia and Hush, he was flirty and charming and tried not to take life so seriously, he was the one that looked after everyone and had a heart of good, the story of how he became friends with Hush was horrible and beautiful at the same time.
Hush was broken really broken and he was just carrying around so much guilt and couldn’t see what an amazing person he was. I loved Hush he had a past that no one would want to live and the fact that he loved it everyday was heartbreaking. The biggest thing for me with Hush was he was never going to be free of his past if he didn’t get revenge or stop blaming himself.
SIA also another broken soul, who trusted the wrong man and took her the depths of hell, she couldn’t trust anyone, she was in hiding and really didn’t have a life and when her past was going to come back to haunt her future it was intense to read to read what had happened to her. I really loved Sia’s character and she had a huge heart and was one lonely girl.
I absolutely loved this Troy, it fit in perfectly with the first 5 novels, i feel this one is the book that is taking us into another direction and i can’t wait to read how the rest goes. If your a fan of this series you will not be disappointed. This one for me was so emotional, heartbreaking, exciting, never a dull moment, full of action and an awesome story that i read it one sitting and now i could feel like i could go back to the start and read them again for the 3rd time.
Awesome awesome story loved loved loved it, Tillie Cole and her writing just get better and better all the time she is a huge one click for. Massive huge 5 Stars from me
