Lea was born into the Notorious Devils life. A daughter of a traitor. She fell in love at the age of fourteen, maybe even before that. She is determined to become a woman that he can love, even if she can never have him. When trouble appears in her life, she is forced to call upon the Devils to save her. She reaches out to the one man that she knows she shouldn’t. Baby knows that his relationship … knows that his relationship with Lea has only ever been platonic. Even if nobody else in the club has understood their bond, he has only ever wanted to protect her.
When his phone rings six years after she leaves for boarding school, he doesn’t hesitate to come to her rescue. After all, he has always vowed to have her back.
He knows it’s wrong. He cannot deny that this wild child has turned into a beautiful wild woman. One that he cannot let go. He must make her his, even if he is not available to give himself to her completely.

I never would have expected this from Lea’s story – but it was the perfect one for her! With this series coming to an end, it was the perfect story to end with as we have followed Baby and Lea’s story through all the books within this series. Not only did Hayley give this couple a storyline that so perfectly fits them and their personalities, but also gave us an ending for this chapter of the MC that gave us the happy ever after (as much as one within a MC universe can have) that we wanted so badly for them. Because we have read about and gotten to know Lea and Baby prior to this book, the book essentially catches us up on what has happened to Lea after the situation with Fish. Still harboring the same feelings and attitude, she finds herself in more trouble than she can work her way out of, and she calls the one person she knows will always come – Baby. While Baby has sacrificed for the club within his relationship status, he will move hell and high water for Lea and when she gives him the opening, he takes his chance, no matter the consequences from anyone. I love this MC and the books from both chapters, so I’m hoping that Hayley continues this overall series with another chapter (fingers crossed)!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is so bittersweet; I am sad the series is now completed but boy what a way to end. Lea had loved Baby since she was a teenager but she was only looked at as a kid of a brother by club member, Baby/Mitchell. After getting into some trouble, Lea is sent away to school but after thinking it would be too hard to see Baby and not be able to have him, she decides to stay in Alberta and doesn’t return home once she graduates. Jumping ahead 6 years, Lea is now grown, Baby is in a miserable situation and Lea still pines for him despite their years apart. Events are occurring though that will have her reaching out for help, and Baby finally realising that enough is enough with his situation; he will find a way out and claim the girl he finally gets to look at as a woman.
This was such a good read with lots of drama putting the club into action one final time, loads of steamy stuff going on as the pair began a relationship and it was so gripping I literally did not put this book down until I had finished it. What a ride Hayley Faiman took us on with this series and the original Notorious Devils series; one I highly recommend you read if you haven’t already. As I say a fond farewell to these guys I give Mixed with Trouble 5 stars.
My poor little heart. It took quite a beating while reading this. #WorthIt! There’s nothing that can fully prepare you for how much Baby and Lea’s story is going to feel all the feelings. I’m talking crying, raging, swooning, fanning yourself, gasping. ALL THE THINGS! As with all the Cash Bar novels, Mixed With Trouble is not for the faint of heart. While the romance is alive and well (and hot AF) this book is still just as gritty and raw as the rest of them. There’s no sugar coated bikers to be found in this bunch.
Baby and Lea and been a storm that was brewing for years. These two are explosive from the second they’re reunited and their story continues to be nonstop action, heat and emotion start to finish. I’m talking twists and turns around every corner, grab a fan or…whatever, and get some tissues and a punching bag. These two are going to pull you deep into their world and take over your heart.
And the bonus short story? I don’t want to spoil anything, but YAAAAAS! It was everything!
What a brilliant end to this fantastic series. Hayley brought the big guns with this one.
I was hooked from beginning to end with this one.
Whilst I was routing for Baby and Lea I seriously wanted to punch Baby in the junk for the truth he kept from Lea. I understand why he had to do what he did but I don’t understand why he didn’t just explain it instead of blindsiding her and ripping her heart to shreds when he knows she already vulnerable.
So much was going on in this tale, it was action packed and full of drama, passion and heat. I honestly didn’t know which way this tale was going to go. I knew Baby and Lea would get their HEA eventually but I wasn’t sure how bad the journey to get there would be.
Loved the extra short story at the end, it finished of the Cash Bar series perfectly
5 Stars
We return to the Cash Bar with the story of Baby and Lea. With a long history, feelings that have been ignored for far too long and trouble already in his life, Baby must do whatever it takes to protect his club, and Lea. What follows is an action packed, intense, and sometimes gruesome ride. You will not be able to put down this book until the end. And then, you will keep going thanks to the bonus short story that is EVERYTHING you want and need!

Hot hot hot is what this story was. Lea and Baby were go great. Yeah sole parts of this book made me angry, some parts made me hot and others made me swoon. This whole series has been a wild ride and I love it. There’s an awesome family dynamic, great banter between the characters and great action. A well rounded story. I won’t give too much away but this story really made my heart happy for these two characters. I rooted for them from the start. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Also; another great novella at the end. These novellas are something I seem to look forward to and they give us the perfect view on characters that deserve a HEA.
