Second one in this series and just as good as the first one. This one is about Axl and Dana. I absolutely loved these two in the first one. The way they don’t see what is right in front of them. The way that Dana does not want to give him a chance. But he will try his hardest to get her to see him. It all started the night that Dana gets stoned at the MC club. That is the beginning of when things change between these two. Then things really change when Axl decides that he is going to start staying at Dana’s house to protect her. But then something tragic happens and Axl cannot face reality. He ends up leaving town and leaving Dana not knowing what is going on between them. This was a little on the emotional side. It was well written that you could feel what Axl was trying to deal with. While gone out of town he finally realizes with the help of his mom who Dana really is. Will he be able to fix things between them? Will she give him another chance? I absolutely loved this one. Dana and Axl are the couple that I fell in love with and want so much more from. These two were just so easy to love and read about. A great book from beginning to end. A great addition to this series
Axl lives for his club. Born into the MC world, his place is beside his best friend and brother to show their fathers they can make something of the newest chapter of Battle Born. However, Axl never imagined someone like Dana coming into his life. When she doesn’t fall at his feet like he’s used to, he discovers that maybe the chase is part of the fun as well. When Axl’s world falls apart, he discovers that Dana is stronger than he gave her credit for and she’s exactly what he needs in his life.
Dana watched her best friend’s heart get broken and betrayed. Together with Vegas and Jenn, they’ve made a profitable business that has allowed them to stand on their own feet with no man needed. But when Axl walks in, Dana can’t decide if she wants to kiss him or slap him. When tragedy strikes, Dana has to pick Axl up and show him just how strong she is, if he will let her.
The second part of the Battle Born series does not disappoint in the least. The story of strong men with even stronger women continues and will make you laugh and cry. Be prepared to become even more addicted to Battle Born!
Wow, second book of the series, and the action just keeps going! This must be read after Betting on Forever, the events intertwine a bit, and the situation from book one is sort of finished in this book. Make sense? Good. So we watched Axl and Dana, run rings around each other with the flirting and such. Dana being smart and holding Axl at arms length, while Axl not giving a crap and claiming her before they even so much as kiss. He knows she is his be all and end all and there is nothing anyone, including Dana can do about it. But MC life is hard, a bit harder than regular life, with drama, chaos, danger and violence, life is uncertain. Will Dana and Axl make it in the end or will their ending come sooner than they thought?
So far, this series is freaking amazing! This is a grittier MC read, so there are some parts that you may or may not care for, but take those in stride and just keep reading. Steamy naughty times that leave you a bit breathless, Axl and Dana are HOT! Scarlett Black can write some chemistry that just jumps at you, this being the second book proves its not a fluke! I can’t wait to see where this series goes! I give this 5 stars.
After reading Vegas and Blade’s story I couldn’t wait to dive into Dana and Axl’s. I loved how the characters and their storylines intermingle from the first book. Seeing Dana finally open up and allow Axl in and to learn more about her past was quite a journey. When back stuff happens it puts their new relationship to the test, especially with Snake ready to step into Axl’s shoes and take Dana as his. This story had so many twists and unexpected turns but I was never lost only enthralled on the journey. Scarlett Black is an amazing storyteller and the way she weaves her characters around the reader, makes you never want to live the world she has created. Highly recommend the book, series and author.
This book was simply amazing. Even though you end up wanting to smack some of the characters. My emotions were a rollercoaster with this book, I laughed, cried, cheered and wanted to smack some characters around. This series, just gets better and better.
I loved Axl, he is outgoing, loyal and protective. He goes for what he wants, but he can also be a idiot when it comes to the heart.
I loved Dana, she is outgoing, sweet and sassy. She loves her friends, and will do anything for them. She also has hard time, believing she is loved.
I can’t wait for more of this series.
While I enjoyed Vegas and Blade’s story, I absolutely LOVED reading Axl and Dana’s story. Dana had a tough childhood. Her mom died of a drug overdose and her dad wasn’t around much. Her opinion on love is everyone leaves. Axl falls for Dana on sight,but he has to work for her heart. This book had me laughing so hard at some of the things the girls did.
Battle Born seriously my favorite MC series ever!!! Black does an amazing job with. Nothing Lasts Forever. My attention was captured from the start, and she held it all throughout. It has is darkness and violence, but also pain and remorse, love and lust. And sooo many more emotions.
I was so interested in Dana and Axls relationship in Betting on Forever, so I was extremely excited for this book. Axl doesnt disappoint in the book boyfriend category. I may have added him to may harem of book boyfriends. He is just everything. A little twisted, a little dark, but that man can pull off a romantic gesture like nobody’s business. And his poor face! Dana is just the embodiment of everything perfect in a heroine. She struggles with her past, but ultimately comes out to be the warrior she was always meant to be. The struggles the two face are so heartbreaking and enlightening at the same time. Makes their struggles totally worth the ride.
On a real and personal note, MC is one of my favorite troupes! I’ve been seriously struggling with finding good ones lately. And when the mood struck instead I found myself re-reading some of my faves. I wasnt into getting into a new series. I found them to be a little lacking. But Scarlett Black has rejuvenated my love for them with this AMAZING series. I’m totally invested in her Battle Born! Invested in her characters, the story, and the whole damn shebang. I seriously AM TELLING YOU ALL TO READ IT!!!
We meet Axl and Dana in Betting on Forever. Sparks fly, chemistry is there, but where does it lead us? It leads us to a fast paced, drama inducing story of love, hope, pain and crazy antics.
You should read the first book, Betting on Forever so you dont get lost with the Battle Born MC standings. This is a great read!
Love. Love. Love this book it was absolutely amazing. Dana and Axl book is an amazing adventure and it had a lot of emotions I went from laughing to crying to laughing again. This book lived up to the first book and has quickly became one of my favorites. I can not wait for the next book in this series.
Dana is the loyal & dependable best friend who will always be there for you. She’ll never leave your side because of her past. Axl is the type of man that sees what he wants and claims it. Once he sets his sights on Dana she doesn’t stand a chance. When these two get together the chemistry is off ththe charts.
I love the dynamic between all the characters, how they play off each other. They are well written and a big part of the story, making it two dimensional.
Axl & Dana’s story took me on a journey through all the emotions. I could feel their joy, anguish, despair, happiness and love.
Nothing Last Forever is the second book in the series and it’s just as good as the first! I loved Axl and Dana’s story. They had so much chemistry together. While reading this book, you’ll be getting all of the feels. Awesome book Scarlett Black, I can’t wait for the next one!
For adult readers due to violence and sexual content.
This is book 2 in this series and you could probably read it as a stand alone, but don’t and this why; 1.) Do NOT deprive yourself the pleasure of getting to know Blade, Vegas, Jenn, Dana, James, Tank, Axl, and so many wonderful characters. 2.) Book 1 has a GREAT story and explain some of the little things about book 2. 3.) Book 1 has the story about Johnny, Tanya, and Cc’s fate.
Oh my gosh this book is just awesome, it is somehow better than book 1, make because I absolutely adore Axl. The Battleborn MC are a group of hard core men that murder, steal, and have public sex. They also are giant teddy bears around the woman they decide they want to be their “Ol’ Lady”. I really like seeing the duality of these men and this author writes it extremely well. This one even made me cry! I am super excited for the next book, but I just don’t see how it can get better than this!
This is a sheer indulgence book. make time for cover to end read time!
Nothing Lasts Forever is book 2 in The Battle Born MC Series written by Scarlett Black. This is the story of Axl and Dana’s and Scarlett you did it again, WOW, AWESOME second story. Axl is sexy and funny, a brash biker and the VP of the Battle Born MC. Dana is the bar manager, a smart and sassy woman. These two are meant for each other, their chemistry is off the charts. It’s a very well written and emotional bikers romance. But I have to say that you need to read book one first in order to enjoy book 2. No Spoilers here, go buy the book it it worth it. I couldn’t put down once started. I highly recommend this book! Can’t wait to read book 3!!!
First of all a word for the author !! With this book, you brought me to a new level, you made me laugh a loooooot, you made me smile with the characters, you broke my heart and then you made me cry with the characters and for that, i just want to say Thank You for writing this awesome book and sharing it with us !!
So the only thing with i could compare this book is definitely a roller coaster !! Book 1 was awesome and brought us to a new MC, with book 2, the author show us her writing potential again and i can say, that this book is literally the best she wrote for the moment !! The characters are funnier than book 1, but also the story is darker and the author did an awesome job with this book, i won’t lie, in this book i hated the author, for few chapters, but at the story going, you understand why she did what she did with the story and that she didn’t do it, just to say: Ok i want to do that so i’ll do it, NO she know exactly where she want to bring us, and WOW i was amazed, i cried with the characters like a looooooooot, i laughed to the point tears were falling by themselves, but at the end of the book, the characters evolved to another level and you understand that yeah, the story has evolved along with the characters… They matured, and that was just incredible, like i said a roller coaster, because you’re able to share their emotions, and they aren’t many books that made me feel like it !! So i’m pretty sure book 3, is going to explode in my face in a good way, and you know what? i can’t wait for it !!
La seule chose avec laquelle je pourrais comparer ce livre ce sont des montagnes russes !! Le tome 1 était génial et nous a transporté dans un nouveau MC, mais avec le tome 2, l’auteure nous a montré son potentiel et je peux juste dire, que ce tome est le meilleur qu’elle a écrit pour le moment !! Les personnages sont plus drôles que le tome 1, mais aussi ce tome est plus sombre et l’auteure a fait un boulot incroyable avec ce livre, je ne vais pas mentir, dans ce tome j’ai détesté l’auteure, pendant plusieurs chapitres, mais alors que l’histoire avancée, on comprend pourquoi elle a fait, ce qu’elle a fait avec l’histoire et elle n’a l’a pas fait simplement pour dire: Ok, je veux faire sa, alors je vais le faire, NON, elle savait exactement où elle voulait nous emmener et WOW j’ai été impressionné,j’ai pleuré avec les personnages, mais vraiment beaucoup, j’ai rigolé au point d’avoir des larmes qui coulaient toutes seules, mais à la fin du livre, les personnages ont évolué à un autre niveau et on comprend que oui, l’histoire a évolué, mais aussi les personnages…. Ils ont gagné en maturité, et c’était vraiment incroyable. Comme je l’ai dit, c’est comme des montagnes russes, parce-qu’on est capable de partager les émotions avec les personnages et je peux clairement dire, qu’il n’y a pas beaucoup de livres qui me font ressentir ça. Alors je suis déjà sur que le tome 3 va m’exploser à la figure mais dans le bon sens et vous savez quoi? J’ai hâte de voir sa !!
**No Spoilers
Finally we get Dana & Axl’s story! To truly enjoy their story, I recommend reading Betting On Forever (Book 1) first. They are featured heavily in Blade & Vegas’ story and it is where their love story begins…. Or so they thought! Told in dual POV. Each Battle Born MC book features a different couple looking for their HEA. I truly enjoy the strong female leads that make you want to be best friends with them.
Dana & Axl’s love was fated from the start. This story has it all. Scarlett Black draws the reader in with well-developed characters and solid plot lines. She will keep you engaged with action, surprising twists, and sexy scenes! There are parts that make you laugh out loud and parts that will tear at your heart. Scarlett is a talented writer that will leave you wanting more! I want Book 3 now! If you are thinking of getting this book, just do it! You won’t regret it!
This book gave me the feels, I cried, i was sad in some part, and I definitely laugh alot. I’ve been watching Axl and Dana chase each other all over the place but don’t want to do anything about it. But when they finally get it together? It was fireworks! Love everything about this book, the characters are great and it was well written. Scarlett Black pull you in when she’s telling a story, I was enthralled with Axl and Dana. This book deserves more Then 5 stars, because that’s how good it was, PHENOMENAL JOB Miss Scarlett Black, you did it, my hat’s off to you, well done!
Ms. Scarlett Black did it again! So reading this book will give you all the feels. You go through the happy times with the characters, as well as some sad times. There’s even a few times you want to choke someone, but then they rectify themselves. I couldn’t have asked for a better book! Can’t wait to see what’s next
I’m sitting here trying to figure out exactly what I want to put in this review. This book has EVERYTHING in it. I laughed and I cried not just a few tears, but big fat tears that turned into an ugly cry. You also have a wicked sense of humor and had me laughing my ass off at the antics the girl crew gets into. The emotions are so well written, that you feel what the characters feel. With all of this being said I highly recommend this book.
The closeness of the MC and the way once you are in you are family is amazing. Axl and Dana were both born into the life. There childhoods were extremely different, but they know how important family is. If you have read Betting On Forever then you got to see the banter and the beginning of their lives together. Axl being the laid back funny guy knows what he wants and who he wants it from. Dana has a hard time letting anyone in. Her past has proven to her that those you let in leave it just don’t have it in them to care. They have not only their own hurdles to get through, but also a few they have together. Once they get past them the love and life they have together is AMAZING.
Scarlett you did it again. I loved it even though at 1 point you were not my favorite person. You redeemed yourself and I am looking forward to see how everybody else’s stories unravel.
