Trigger warnings: violence and abuse, sexual assault, drugs and drug dealing, murder, and references of self-harm
DNF 29%
I added the trigger warning because the author does not give any and the triggers in the book are many. I know this is a new author but you should always put trigger warning at the end of the blurb.
So this book. Elizabeth has been abused and assaulted since she was a child. She has had very little education and clearly has mental illnesses, i.e. anxiety, panic attacks, suicide etc. She is homeless and continuously on the run. I thought she was a interesting character who clearly needs help. I just don’t think that help should be Carson.
I didn’t like Carson. I feel like Carson is using Elizabeth’s lack of education and mental issues to get what he wants. I especially didn’t like him after he talks about beating a woman in like the second or third chapter. He later (29% in) punches the same woman again and it is at this scene that I said I was done and stopped reading. I do not like to read a romance where one of the main characters are abusers. Just no. There wasn’t anything else in the story to keep me reading so I am calling it quits.
OMG, I could not put this down, it is dark, it touches on so many different issues, some you won’t like, some you will, it’s not a romance in the sense of a romance, but in a way it is, ok you may think what the heck am I on about, it is hard to explain without spoiling the story, the only thing I can say without a doubt is ….. I can’t wait for the next book
Warning .. this story may contain triggers to some.
I purchased a copy of this book through Amazon.co.uk
This is the start of a new series about the Black Angels MC, be warned this book contains triggers and is not for everyone. But if you love dark and dirty romances, this is the book for you!
Carson is one of the founding members of the Black Angels MC and owns a bar and builds custom bikes in his spare time. But when he sees this sad woman in Vegas and she just looks like she needs help, he helps her out. But the more he is around her, the more he needs to be around her. He wants to figure her out and keep her safe in an unsafe and cruel world. But can Carson keep her safe or will he miss something?
Elizabeth has had a rough life, a life that has tried to kill her on several occasions, but she keeps going. When she meets Carson, she is calmed by his smell and presence. So she agrees to help him the best way she can, and she continues to do so. But when bad things happen, will she run again or stay by Carson?
This is a gripping start to the series and it draws you in and you want more and more. This is about Elizabeth and Carson and their imperfectly perfect relationship that no one gets, but everyone loves, because they are both happier together. I can’t wait to read more about the other members and hear what happens next in the basement. I received an ARC of this book from the author.
Excellent motorcycle (MC) romantic suspense. This is a powerful story about a young woman’s survival living on the streets and turns to the MC. Elizabeth’s been severely abused most of her young life and Carson who is a member of the club takes her in. They work together to find out who is out to get them. The story can have triggers for some. There is lots of intrigue, suspense and some violence. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author.
First time read for R.A. Black and I can not wait for the next one. Is it dark? Oh yes, however, it is gripping. Black Angel MC is one of the most riveting MC books I have read. Are there disturbing parts, yes, however, there are so many disturbingly awful things in the World that hurt people in the most unimaginable ways. R.A. Black has merely used a platform to draw attention to some. While others will not agree, I am a product of a System that falls. I applaud your courage. Follow along because you are in for one unbelievable ride. Truth does hurt but no more then Elizabeth. Carson is her saviour in many ways, however, it is Elizabeth that will triumph.
For those I offend, I apologize, but for those of you that sit in your home reading your book… imagine those that endure.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Outlawed Lust in exchange for my honest opinion and I couldn’t put this dark and addictive MC romance down. I said above in my review and I will say it again… I can’t wait for the next release.
I have had a hard time trying to decide how to rate this…a 2 or a 4? It was a bizarre read! A homeless woman who is more child-like than woman and a hot biker. The end was abrupt, and I kept waiting for Elizabeth to come out of her psychotic break! It was well written although a lot was happening. It was emotional and sad throughout. There really should have been a warning on the many triggers in this book.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
This book was from a new to me author and I’ll definitely be reading more from them in the future.
This is a dark read, with horrors done to the heroine that will leave you slack jawed.
CARSON, THE BIKER AND ELIZABETH, THE “SEWAGE MOUSE”
I’m going to be honest….R. A. Black is a new (to me) author, and Josh Mario John is on the hot cover of this book, so I was excited to read it…
OUTLAWED LUST had several good characters, but there were so many, and I had trouble remembering who they all were an show they fit within the story….. (except Carson and Elizabeth)
Carson and Elizabeth was such a different couple than what we are accustomed to…..and I loved the story, the characters and the originality….but I have to admit, I was lost and confused much of the time….
This heart stopping story just took my breath away!
Carson is the Angel Elizabeth never expected. A tough sexy biker with a heart as big as the sky.
Elizabeth is homeless and living on the streets when she meets Carson. She feels protected for the first time in her life. She’s experienced so much tragedy in her young life. Mental and physical abuse and torture. At the hands of her Uncle. She’s finally free. But she lives in fear. The streets are no place for a young woman.
I never cried so much reading a story. Sad and happy tears. The HEA was beautiful. Elizabeth is finally free, finally able to choose. Finally able to love and be loved!
Jace gave her the power.
“I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review”
arc review/kindle unlimited For honest review. Wow 10 star page turner. Elizabeth is homeless and is one messed up girl and after what’s she’s gone through .When Carson of the Black Angels MC helped her only to find she starts to mean more to him .Awesome
This isn’t your typical bad boy meets feisty woman MC romance, but that’s OK! Carson is the epitome of bad boy, but Elizabeth is the opposite of feisty. She has been through more in her short life thank anyone should…ever. There is something about her that Carson cant resist. This is a times heart breaking, but also both characters show so much strength that you can’t help but get sucked into the drama, danger, suspense, passion and their own brand of love.
OUTLAWED LUST, Black Angels MC Book 1, by author R.A. Black is a gripping new MC Series that if Book one is any indication it will be darker than most other MC storylines.
This story, which takes place in Nevada, focuses on Carson, one of the founding members of the club and a young homeless woman, Elizabeth, who escaped from the east coast after having been thrown in the river and presumed dead. Carson begins by obsessively protecting her then loving her. Elizabeth has a horrendous past having been sexually and emotionally abused since a young age by her uncle/guardian among his other deviant behaviors including child pornography. She barely functions but Carson reaches out to her and begins to try to understand her.
The core members are a diverse group of childhood friends. Besides Carson who’s passion is working on bikes and opened his own bike shop, there four others including a doctor and one who runs an underground fight club in Vegas.
This series will most definitely not be for everyone but it is gripping. Just don’t expect traditional…”and they lived happily ever after.”
I am recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and am leaving this review for your consideration. Peace.
Reading this book was nerve racking! Elizabeth endured so much. Raped, tortured, abused and a runaway. She experienced it all and thanks to a kindness from Carson she some peace only to be thrown into the Black Angels drama. This MC thriller will have you tied to the pages to see what will drop next on the road of Carson’s and Elizabeth’s journey. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This book very quickly had my complete attention with these engaging, complex characters, its gritty, potent story line and raw emotions. Carson and Elizabeth were amazing together and I loved the combination of heat and sweet that their attraction, chemistry and emotional connection gave off. Drama, action, suspense and an overall feeling of intensity, that keeps you on the razor’s edge, as you wait to see what will happen next. This is only book one of the Black Angels series and by a completely new to me author, but this highly entertaining read left me eagerly looking forward to much more from both.
