*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Absolutely fantastic MC romance novel that I was unable to put down once I started reading it to the point I even fell asleep while doing so trying to find out how it was going to end. The beginning starts with a timeline that is happening during the end of book one only from Axl’s viewpoint taking us back up to where it left off moving forward so we do not miss anything. Following him and Dana as they work things out is great as they are both remarkably stubborn I must say. Add in the MC drama as well as her girls’ drama to get one incredible story that I loved so I give it 5/5 stars. Really a must read for fans of the genre or just hot romance novels in general.
Dana did not have an easy childhood. Her parents split up, her mother died of an overdose, and despite her father’s new relationship being with a great companion, who is a beloved stepmother, all the abandonment she suffered as a child turned her into a rebellious teenager. This teenager has become a successful woman, who does not trust people or relationships.
Axl is VP of Battle Born MC in Reno. Unlike Dana, although raised inside a motorcycle club, he had great parents, whose relationship is an example for him to this day. His mother is a former model and his father is VP of the chapter of Battle Born MC in Las Vegas. And everything was quiet in his life, until he decided to taste a certain cherry pie.
The chemistry between the characters is obvious from the first book in the series. Several scenes of the flirtation between Axl and Dana are funny. Axl knows what he wants, although he tries to show Dana that he can be much more than just the rude biker. He wants to be her everything. The protagonist takes a while to accept Axl’s affection. For her, everyone we love will one day leave us. And her greatest fear is to be abandoned again.
From laughter to tears, prepare yourself for a roller coaster of emotions. There are moments of pure fun in the narrative, but in some events in the characters’ lives, the way the author describes the pain, despair and emptiness in the characters’ emotions will be able to destroy, crush your heart.
A book with emotion, strong scenes but also humor and tenderness. With events and revelations that makes the narrative engaging and the experience of reading unforgettable.
Dana and Axl’s story….
Let’s start off my saying that I am really loving this series so far.The girl’s of the club and old ladies were such a hoot I laughed out loud through the entire story.I am loving all the character’s especially the dads!
From the moment I started reading this story I was hooked.The first book in this series had Axl playing a bit of a cat and mouse game but, in this story things heat up quite a bit. Axl is finally taking what he wants! Dana is claimed even if she is still getting used to the idea.
Book Quote- “Does my princess’ pussy need her king to take care of her?”“Yes.”
Omg ! This couple is HOT HOT HOT !
Funniest moment for me was Vegas teasing Axl about popping so many of Dana’s cherries… you had to be there but, you will understand lol. “Just hilarious !”
Some of my other favorite characters are Snake- Dana’s Dad ,Fuego- Vegas’s Dad,Blade ,Vegas,and we gotta lover Tugger-Vegas’s dog.
The drama in the club is now in full force and it just upped its game and becomes even more dangerous for all of them.This is just one step in the right direction about taking care of the death treats against the club as well as the girls.
The suspense had us sitting on the seat of our pants wondering what’s next. Omg! the snakes and traitors are coming out of the woodwork like termites. Omg! things just got more intense !
Dana has trust issues due to a crappy family life growing up.Dana’s and Axl courtship was anything but smooth due to both of them having insecurities. But, guess what? that spells out lots and lots of make up sex. lol “Holy Hotness!”
I loved being on Axl and Dana’s journey as it was not an easy ride and a lot of pain but, loving one another and placing your trust in each other might give them both what they strive for both out of life.
The story gripped you emotionally.I really loved it from cover to cover.The characters were fun ,engaging,some serious and others funny.You felt the love that was in this club all around you all the time.I really loved this about this story.
The story also had some amazing characters,had amazing couples,amazing friends but, we have to give a shout-out to Fuego and his life lessons but also the love he has for his family.Vegas is the bomb! OMG! I do nothing but laugh when she is around….
Found Dana to be loving, kind, funny and “God did she make me laugh often.”
Found Axl to be dark,dangerous, a bit of a jokester,funny,serious,possessive and sexy as heck.
We loved everything about the story and we are looking forward to the next in the series.
Some favorite book quotes
“Vegas and I popped your girl’s cherry. She was so sweet too,” Kat mocks her. “Oh fu**, Axl looks a little mad right now.” She points her long black nail toward me and James. That twisted bitch, Kat, would be right, and she thinks she can talk about my woman like that? Jenn starts laughing. “I’m Jenn, and you’re sticking around because I can use you now that these two are getting all domesticated. And Axl is giving you some hateful looks.
“Dude, we’ve never kissed and we never will,” her hands go up in defense . “She’s my sister, you freak! You need to work on your bullshit game. It’s hella weak. Go take a cold shower before I puke!”
“You’ll see, Dana, this is our life and I’m going to worship you and the love you give me from it.”
“I will consume all of you ,” I warn. “I am not the same man as before, Dana, there’s a darker version that was never there before . If you take me, you take the demon that’s inside of me too. I don’t want it to take away from your light.”
A recommended read to all!
I am voluntairly leaving an honest review. OMG!!!!! This book was so much more is was a beautiful dark, dark, sexy action packed emotional story. You get a better understanding of Axl and Dana who clashed from the beginning even though neither one remembered meeting before, all Axl knows that he wants his cherry pie!!. Their interaction was at times funny, sexy as he lays claim to her as they each are now faced with obstacles before them. Well done Scarlett, you have taken your readers on an emotional ride, can’t wait to see what is next. This is a must read!!!!!! Battle Born Forever!!!
This is book 2 in the Battle Born MC series by new author Scarlett Black. While I enjoyed the first book, I loved the 2nd. Her writing improves
with each book and I can’t wait to see what she produces In the future.
Loved this book. Axl is funny and all alpha until tragedy strikes and he loses himself a bit. Dana was such a sweet but tough woman who helped Axl out of his darkness. Love them!
I cannot for the life of me figure out how this author with only one previous story has mastered both the MC romance and writing so quickly. She is like an MC writing Goddess! This story had everything: swoon worth alpha male, kick rear female, interesting plot, amazing secondary characters, heat, passion, action, humor, lust, love and much, much more.
This story will take any reader on a roller coaster of emotions; all that are full experiences and justified and will leaving you reeling for more. I loved every word that was written and cannot wait for book three! The characters are written with depth; they all have a purpose and fit into the story with ease. Nothing in this story is wasted; nothing is used to carry the story other than the characters. Often times in stories the author needs a reason for the characters emotions or actions so they make up stupid reasons (i.e. miscommunication), this author does not do that! Every situation or action, emotion or dialogue is written with purpose!
Axl and Dana are perfect for each other and I loved how similar yet completely different they were. There is nothing better than reading about characters that you care about and root for from the first page. After reading this story I was so happy because I care for these characters and when they get their HEA, it makes me proud to have been a part of their journey! I will be waiting (impatiently) for boo three and to continue on in this wonderful world with my new one click author.
Axl and Dana bring us a story of love and hope, and heat and passion, with some twists thrown in. It perfect to see the relationship change from page to page and by the end i was just a big ball of happiness for Dana and Axl. Its never easy to have everything you want but it’s sure worth the fight to get it. I loved this!
This book was so great. It is more brutal than the first, by far. I love the characters’ interactions—so much of it is in groups. The bonus scenes and epilogues are the cherries on top. I can hardly wait for the next installment in the series.
Probably my FAVORITE so far..Tragic, Heart wrenching, tortured Love story is the only way I can explain this one..ABSOLUTELY LOVED JT!! Read it 3 times already…
Dana knows just how to push Axl, she’s only every seen his fun side, never having seen the intense side of him that she’s seeing when he tells everyone that she’s his.
Axl lets Dana know not to push him, he’s not sure what he’s feeling other than she’s his. Dana lets him know she wants to take her time, but she feels it and it scares her, but she needs to feel him. Dana’s not used to what she’s feeling, and doesn’t know what they are doing, but Axl makes sure to clear it up with Dana, he only wants her, and he wants it all with her, clearing up the insecurities she has.
Tragedy strikes and Axl can see the frustration in Dana, because he’s ignoring her and pushing her away, telling her nothing last forever.
Dana can’t believe her friends take her to watch Axl, fight, but the let her know because of what happened, he’s changed, and she has to fight her fear and fight for Axl, but can she get past her fears to get the man she wants and be the woman he needs with everything that’s happened, or will Axl never find himself again and Dana.
In this second book we get the story of Dana and Axl. A tragic accident changes Axl’s life forever. Axl will have to come to terms with the pain. Dana has a painful past with a drug addict mother and absent father. Will these two be able to come back together? This was a tearjerker and the hope of better things to keep you going with life. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Nothing Lasts Forever is a good story with lots of sexy time, humor, angst and the boys of Battle Born will bring the heat.
Axl is the Male lead and Dana is the leading lady. If you have read book one then you witnessed the blooming of their relationship or Axl laying claim to Dana and her denying claim after claim. Well let’s say Dana’s defensive walls crumble and Axl takes what belongs to him. Their love story is interesting and the author throws in a twist of destiny or fate. Axl is possessive of his woman but he also shows her his softside, he is always smiling or joking but he has a darkside in which we see consume him. Tragedy will take place and it pulls out all kinds of emotions. I just wish the author gave us more of Mad Max.
Nothing Lasts Forever its packed to the brim with action and we gain more information about these amazing characters. We see Blade in a different light, he is ruthless when he goes after the ones that hurt his family. Battle Born takes down anyone who harms their family. The revenage is dark, ugly at times and the men of this MC are relentless. They do not take it easy on their enemies whether they are male or female.
Something happens in the story that I am sure the author will get criticized for but I give her credit for putting it into the storyline. This is fiction were anything can happen and Dana wouldn’t of never received a tattoo and Axl would of never gotten to be the King D of all the land.
Overall Nothing Lasts Forever is a beautiful dark story with sexy steamy scenes and action that might make you cringe. This story is not for the faint hearted it’s dark, ugly and beautiful. I highly recommend reading book one before reading Nothing Lasts Forever!! Happy Reading!
LOVED Axel and Dana’s story!
These two are so great for each other.
They made me laugh, cry and swoon big time. These two deserve a hea, after some of the stuff they went thru in the past and not so far in the past, they each need someone to lean on
As they both work thru some club business and some serious personal issues it will be an uphill battle for them. Dying for the third book in this series!
Wow just wow. What a great book. I love the first book and now I am in love with this book.I am like everybody else in the reviews I’m lost as to what to say. I laughed, I cried,I got excited too quickly as to wanting to know what was happening in the book. I really did love this book. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait too read more of your books. I could read your books all the time.
A must read!!
This is the second book in the series. I was blown away. You will definitely get all the feels with Axl and Dana’s love story. Can’t wait for the next one. I definitely recommend this series and author.
This is the second book in this new series by this amazing, talented Author. I love Axl and Dana’s story. This picks up from the first book. Full of love, uncertainty and finding your true self with these two characters. I laughed, teared up and sighed with relief. I never feel like I do justice to the story or authors writing my reviews, I never want to giveaway storylines, plots or surprises the authors have in store for us readers. That being said, I highly recommend this new author and her writing abilities. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
What a powerful read! This book is so much more than just Axl and Dana’s story. All the characters are here and they add such depth. Axl and Dana fight for each other – their chemistry is beautiful to see unfold. An absolute 5 star MC romance!
The second book in this series that tells Axl and Dana’s story. A fantastic read that’ll have you hooked. Very well written with great characters.
I just love this MC family. This book had me cracking up one minute and tearing up the next. Dana and Axel have a fun and sexy relationship. They were meant to be together. On to the next book.
