Ralynn Hatchet has known since she was six years old that she loved Jaxson Boone. Even though he was twelve years older than she was and happened to be a new prospect in the MC her father was an enforcer for, the Rebel Guardians. Despite her best efforts, he never noticed or paid any attention to her, not even as she got older. Now a young adult, she’s still in love with him, only she’s tired of … of his lame excuses. Determined to move on with her life, she begins dating Marcus Welch, but she soon realizes that what she thought about him is, in fact, untrue.
Jaxson Boone hasn’t had an easy life, until he found the Rebel Guardians MC. While he’s always noticed Ralynn, it was as a child, since she was so much younger than him. As she grows into a beautiful, headstrong young woman, he does whatever he can to stop his attraction towards her, convinced that he’s no good. He willstay away from her, not only out of respect for his brother, but because he can bring her nothing but heartache.
All of Jaxson’s self-made promises go out the window when he witnesses something that raises his blood pressure beyond the boiling point. Realizing that the one woman he has been pushing away is the one he needs to make his life whole, he now has to work to show Ralynn just what she means to him.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful journey to go on with Jaxon and Raylnn. I have read, loved, adored, and devoured all of the Rebel Guardians books, but this one touched me on a deeper level. Like Raylnn, I am a survivor as well. I felt her despair, and disbelief at the situation she was presented with, how could one put themselves in a situation like that and not be able to get themselves out?! Unlike her, I did not have a group of fierce bad @ass bikers to run to my rescue. I loved how the family rallied around her in a passionate, and loving way. No one demeaned her, or berated her for what she had gotten herself into. Then there was Jaxon and his undeniable possessiveness (not in a bad way), and protectiveness that kicked in when he saw her like that. I enjoyed every second of this story. Ms. Parker and Ms. Tallman did a fantastically wonderful job of creating a story that captivates you from the beginning and keeps you riveted till the end. Loved it!
Okay I’m stumped literally! Not in a bad way but a really good way, when you read a blurb about a book you don’t assume it’s what the blurb says. I’m shocked, I’m an emotional mess, my heart hurt so much. The whole time I’m reading it I felt like I’m the one who’s going through it, granted I’ve never been in that situation but Jesus, I started crying the minute I started reading it. The emotional aspect of the story will draw you in and kept you there until you’re done. She’s so strong and Jaxson to his true form stand strong with her, these two characters will show you what love is really like. I’ve been a fan of these ladies for a long time, and I’ve gotta say they’re phenomenal! If you thought The Originals were amazing than you haven’t met The Second Generation. These kids are giving their parents a run for their money for sure, I FLOVE everything about this series, you have laughter, shenanigans, grown men acting like children but it’s done with love. I may have cried in this book but I ended up laughing in it. Thank You Ladies, it’s well and beautifully written.
Holy Hell the wait certainly was worth it! I love next generation series. Warning: have Kleenex on hand. Jaxson has been trying to push Ralynn away for years because he thinks his heart and soul aren’t good enough for her because of his past(only Axe, the club prez knows). Ralynn is away at college and has gotten in over her head with an abusive SOB. This abuser Marcus made me wish I could reach in my kindle and take him out to end him!! He isolated her in her home so no one but his father(a “dirty” DA) would know. Thank God her bff Lilly shows up beating on her door.
Enter some of my favorite characters from the previous generation. Kinda like both getting and actually eating the cake for me! The loyalty of their brotherhood shines through the darkness like a bacon of light. They swoop in and take Ralynn home. The authors did an amazing job presenting the domestic abuse and what it took to get Rylynn on the road to recovery.
Rylynn is one hell of a woman with Jaxson at her side. I also think with Rylnn at his side Jaxson will also get some healing from his past. I would love to have me a Jaxson at my side. Now I’m left craving
the next book….Luca and Gypsy’s story.
I highly recommend this series but suggest you start with the Rebel Guardians to get the full picture.
Ralynn … goodness that girl goes through more than anyone can imagine and for her to come out of it and be so brave and work so hard to overcome it. Jaxson finally gets over his past and realizes just how important she is too him. Y’all these two work hard to be happy and be together.
I’ve followed the Rebel Guardians MC from the very first book. I loved all of the original RGMC stories, loved meeting all of the kids. I was there when Ralynn and Jaxon met, even though she was way to young, and she fell head over heels for him. I was there when he only saw her as an annoying little kid that followed him around. Like with most series, I wondered about what happened next, wondered what happened to the kids. Now, we get the next part of their story, and boy, was it a doozy!
Ralynn has been in love with Jaxson forever! Since she was just a little girl, she has known that he was the one for her, and that never wavered for her. But since he was quite a bit older than her, he didn’t feel the same way. Now that she’s grown, he still doesn’t. So she tries to move on with her life. But things don’t go as she plans, and horrible things happen!
Jaxson has a tragic past, one that he hides, tells no one about. Even though he has a good life now, it still has an impact on how he lives his life. Even though he has feelings for Ralynn, he doesn’t act on them because of that past. His determination to spare her that part of himself, has unforeseen consequences, things no one could have seen coming.
This book….I cried like a baby. Tears for Ralynn. Tears for Jaxson. There are some touchy subjects in this book, and it was a very emotional book. But beyond all of it, this book just emphasizes what the RGMC is all about. Family, loyalty, and love. It was another amazing book in the RGMC world. And even though all of the books, all of the characters are closely tied together, this book can be read without having read the previous books (but really, why would you want to?!? These books are all so fabulous!)
Very good book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jaxson & Ralynn’s story.
It was very close to home for me and i did have to stop and start a few times due to how emotional it was and how it effectively made me feel bringing up past ghosts for me. However Liberty and Darlene touched on the subject matter with respect and a thoughtful approach. Once again the characters were relatable, the story line kept you engrossed and the light hearted moments between the men of the Rebel Guardians MC had me in stitches. I’m really looking forward to reading about Luca & Gypsy now . She has a story to tell and no doubt Luca will do what ever he can to help her get it out.
