Logan “Rocket” Carrera has a history he prefers to leave buried under prickly layers of standoffish personality. He’s seen and done things that would make most people lie awake at night. A master of compartmentalization, he’s never had trouble moving on until the night he rescues the redheaded Chloe from a sadistic gang.Kidnapped, beaten, and abused by criminals, Chloe has a difficult time … time assimilating back into the world after the most traumatic experience of her life. With each passing day, her anxiety builds until she’s forced to find an outlet. Finally, Chloe discovers her own way to make sense of the world and steal a few moments of peace. There’s just one problem: she can’t tell a soul what she’s doing. Who could ever understand the risk she’s taking?
Unable to stay away from the fascinating woman who’s screwing with his head just by breathing, Rocket tails Chloe as often as he can. His curiosity over her actions borders on obsession. Before long, and despite the MC president’s orders to keep his distance, Rocket succumbs to the urge to approach her.
Logan, the handsome man Chloe meets in a bar, gives her exactly what she needs. He’s accepting of her unusual requests in a way she hadn’t thought possible. The fantasy unravels, however, when she discovers who he really is, the outlaw biker who saw her at her very lowest moment. Will Chloe be able to accept Logan as the biker, Rocket, and allow him into her life enough to help her heal? The answer won’t matter if his violent past sucks him away before she has a chance to try.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
I have to say that this book is definitely different then most others that I have read which is always a good thing in my opinion. We follow Rocket the SAA of the Hell’s Handlers as he saves Chloe from her captivity by Lefty. The problem is that she has no clue it was him and thinks that the MC has something do with what happened to her. This event changed her life forever and she has a coping mechanism that was new for me though it did help Rocket infiltrate himself into her world at least until she finds out who she really is. This book is full of dark themes, danger, hot men, steam, and a romance that will pull at your heart strings. Some excellent revenge goes down too I must say. Perfect for fans of MC romance. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
Looking for a roller coaster ride of reading? This book is for you then! This book is about healing and forgiveness but the ride from one to the other is wild, suspenseful and so worth the read. Be prepared with this book because there is rape and beating of women involved. It is, however it is still a great book.
I remember Chloe from the earlier book and I was interested in her story. Rocket, I have totally been waiting for his book! I have loved the Hell’s Handlers from the beginning and my opinion of them has not changed. Looking forward to more of this series.
This is the fifth book in this addictive series from Lilly Atlas and like the rest in the you are gripped from the first page until the very end, feeling each and every emotion along with the characters.
Rocket and Chloe’s story and its quite an emotional one. Chloe has been through so much and Rocket met her when she was broken and damaged, when she was raw and vulnerable. Rocket is the Hell’s Handlers Sargent At Arms, the fierce protector of the group. When he meets Chloe she sparks the protective side of him and he can’t let her go even though he should.
It was lovely seeing my favourite characters from previous books and watching their witty banter and interactions again. Izzy and Jigsaw are still my favoruites. I am really looking forward to seeing who Lilly will bring us next to fall in love with.
Rocket is one emotionally charged read. There are so many layers to Chloe and Rocket’s story. Earth shattering trauma, secrets, lies, healing, romance, and suspense. This book is nonstop when it comes to everything that it holds. Trust me when I say get ready to be hit right in the feels. I love how Lilly Atlas masterfully combines sweet sexiness with the darker gritty world of MC’s. Two things that seem like they’d never go together come together perfectly in her writing.
Rocket is what everyone wants when they pick up an MC read. This biker bad boy is ruthless when it comes to almost everything except Chloe and his MC family. He’s rough around the edges, sexy as hell and loves with a ferocity that will blow you away. All his harshness seems to vanish when he’s with Chloe, helping her overcome one of the worst things someone could go through.
I found myself riveted to every page of this book from the moment I started until I finally reached the end!
5 stars
Another fantastic addition to the Hell’s Handlers series! Lilly Atlas delivers the best of hot, growly Alphas who find the women that turn them to mush. Atlas effortlessly engulfs us in the dark and light in Rocket. I’ve loved every single book in this series but this one blew me away. Rocket and Chloe were amazing, rich characters and the way they are with each other… Wow! They are sexy, fierce and brave. Chloe’s strength after her trauma made me so proud of her and Rocket was just breathtaking in his desperation to take care of his girl. This is a beautiful, gritty story that packs a punch… Right in the feels!

I’m so hooked on this series. This is one MC family who stick together no matter what. Rocket saves Chloe from her worst nightmare. And together they heal each other. Rocket is so protective of Chloe and his MC family. On to the next book.
I highly anticipated this story. I was excited to read what became of Chloe since she was first introduced. And was a bit sad it wasn’t the book straight after. But it was worth it. I feel like we lived a lifetime in these pages. So many developments and changes in each character. It was great. And of course visit with the ol ladies is a hoot. Great book!
Rocket’s book was just as good as I thought it was going to be. He rescued Chloe from Lefty in the previous book, but she didn’t know it as he kept his identity a secret. He couldn’t forget her though, despite his president’s orders to leave her alone he kept an eye on her. When her actions had Rocket curious as to what she was up to, the pair began a relationship of sorts, but still without Chloe knowing who Rocket, or Logan as she knows him, really is. What will happen when she discovers the truth? Will she give him a chance? Will Rocket even give her the option to walk away when danger comes to town?
Loved it! I’ve loved this entire series so far and I hope there will be more. Plenty of action, drama, romance and MC business to keep us entertained and I give Rocket 5 stars.
After being the target of a rival MC Club Chloe’s life was changed forever and she only found one way to cope with it. Rocket has been watching her from afar but when he sees how she is coping, he knows he must step in. It throws them both into more danger when his past comes back to haunt them both. I loved this story and it was so gritty and dark but I loved the story of family, brotherhood and romance of two broken people. Highly recommend this book, series and author.
Where do I begin with this review……. The Hell’s Handlers are some serious kick arse Bikers that love their women and love them fiercely. This is the fifth book in the series and i have to say that I was hoping and praying that Rocket got his own book because he had a story to tell and I was just dying to see what it was. And LORD HAVE MERCY what a story it is!
Rocket has a past that haunts him and he has done things that haunt him each and every day but the one thing that keeps haunting him is when he saved a woman from the hands of vicious sex traffickers. He thinks of her everyday and follows her in silence to see what she is up to and if she is okay.
Chloe was kidnapped by these vicious sex traffickers and she was hurt I mean hurt real bad and then when she thinks all is lost she is rescued by the Hell’s Handlers and rides on the back of Rocket’s bike but she does not see him because he keeps his face covered up all except his eyes. With what has happened to her she decides to live her life on the wild side and does some serious things that are detrimental to her but that is the way she copes.
Then one day she meets a mysterious man and she has drinks with him and wants more. Things happen and she does not realize the guy she is with is Rocket the guy who saved her. When she does find out she is furious and she tells him to go away but Rocket is determined to get Chloe and make her his.
This is a must read series and I would start with book one and read them all for an amazing read!
Omg ! Omg ! Omg! This series just keeps getting better and better! Holy hotness! What a roller-coaster this read was as it was heart wrenching,suspenseful,twisty,erotic,heartfelt ,tragic and about healing and forgiveness and had a great cast of amazing characters who are fun and who love to tease each other as well get under each other skin but, in a loving and caring way.Can you say “always up in your Biz” ,that goes for the men as well as the women.The old ladies in this series are a hoot!.The old ladies also are loving and caring and amazingly strong women but, time and time again one sticks out the most and that is Izzy she just rocks!Izzy is it a tell it like it is gal,fierce,loyal and a total bada** and “we just love her !” I have a feeling Chloe is going to give Izzy a run for her money when it comes to bada** old ladies.
Chloe was simply amazing and strong and brave and it was tragic what happened to her but, she has risen above it and has found her own unique way of dealing with her pain.We saw this women blossom through out this entire story and perhaps Logan may have gotten her on the right path to healing and helping her to put her past behind her.Chloe did all the hard work ,then Jigsaw and Izzy set her on yet another path that helped her deal with her anxiety and she became more focused and started to dig deep down and dig in.We loved her and every attempt she made to challenge herself, “some who say it was another stepping stone to her recovery in the right direction.” “Let’s just say the gloves came on then came off!” lol
I loved Logan aka Rocket from the onset of the story.Logan was one bad boy who was scary,dark dangerous,sexy as sin, but, also caring and loving and compassionate as well as very protective of those he loved and let’s not forget brutey .I loved his interactions with Chloe it was almost if he was another person with her and not anything like the Logan we have come to know and loved but, we loved seeing his compassionate and loving side all out in full force and let’s just say we love how he got creative with Chloe in order to help her heal. Most of all you got to love the guy for the sacrifices that man was making to his pride in order to do so.Let’s just saying we were laughing out loud time and time again but, patting him on his back for his cleverness.
This was also one totally hot sexy read!Chloe was everything Logan/Rocket needed in his life and in his bed.I loved that Chloe was drawn more to Logan even more so after she leaned all his secrets and the thing he thought made him un -love -able and unworthy is what she loved most about the hot and sexy man.Who would not want a hot possessive and dangerous man in your corner after everything you went through?Chloe was no fool…..
Overall we loved this tale as it made you laugh and cry and was suspenseful and full of romance and it never had a dull moment and it was full of hot sexy scenes that kept you engrossed in the pages and turning them right from the very beginning and we could not put the book down until it was finished.We loved all the twists and turns the story took as well.We also loved how much all the characters were featured in this current tale”We loved revisiting with them!”.Maverick he always makes us laugh and he did that time and time again this time around.One thing we loved most about this tale is you felt the love they all have for one another throughout this entire story and that always makes the story a whole lot of fun and touching as well!
This one is definitely a keeper !
A recommended read to all as well as the entire series!
One of out favorite MC authors for sure !
Another amazing story by Lilly Atlas. She knows how to play with your emotions. She brought out all my emotions with this book, from joy to heartbreak to cheering to tears.
I loved Rocket throughout this book, he is understanding, and knew how far to push. I loved him with Chloe.
I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait for more.
This story blew me away. There was a lot of violence, fear, grit, but it was balanced out with friendship, family, love, and plenty of steam. The ups and downs of Chloe’s life and the protectiveness of Rocket/Logan had me shaking my head, smiling, giggling, and even crying. I have only read a couple of the stories in this series, but it felt like visiting with family and welcoming new members. Be prepared for a bumpy ride, and hopefully, I will get to the other books in this series.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
This is the fifth book in this awesome series, and is Rocket and Chloe’s story. Rocket is the quiet and protective Sergeant-at-arms in the “Hell’s Handlers” and he had his own demons which haunt him. Chloe was rescued from a horrific and traumatising experience, but unknown to her Rocket was her rescuer and he has seen her at her lowest point. I loved the witty banter between all of the characters. This is a well written flawless story, which is an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end, and it heartbreaking, steamy, humorous, and with suspense which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more from this extraordinary author whose work I highly recommend for all MC lovers.
This is the fifth book in the Hell’s Handlers MC series. It is a stand alone, but they are still looking for Lucky in this book.
Chloe is a victim of Lucky’s. I usually don’t do spoilers, but if rape is a trigger for you, you should pass on this one.
She does turn into a fighter though.
I was on the fence about both her and Rocket for the majority of the book.
Now, I like them, but I don’t love them.
The way Chloe coped didn’t sit right with me. And Rocket being Logan and not revealing who he really is bugged me some also.
I did enjoy the story. I give this a 3.5
Read: 5/15/19
Rocket was the fifth book in Lily Atlas’ Hell’s Handlers series.
Rocket was a patched member of the Hell’s Handlers and the Sergeant At Arms. He was the quiet protector of the group. We knew something was going on with him from previous books, but we didn’t know what until now.
Chloe was barely living. On the outside she seemed normal but she had her daily demons and she was struggling to hang on. We met her briefly in Maverick, book two, as the captured and rescued victim of sexual traffickers. She was rescued by Rocket but she didn’t see his face so she was unaware of his identity. However, Rocket never forgot her.
The storyline started off slow for me. Once Rocket and Chloe had regular interactions, it began to hold my interest and move quickly. I loved the progression that Rocket took Chloe through. Although she was unaware, he knew her ordeal so he slowly and deliberately brought her to each next level of living in society without fear.
I also loved the continued interactions, humor and bantering of the MC brothers and old ladies. They continued to be some of my favorite characters. As a bonus we were introduced to one of Chloe’s brothers. It would be the perfect set up for a spin off series, or even a Hell’s Handlers prospect once he got of the military.
All in all, it was quick and enjoyable so wherever Atlas chooses to lead next, I’ll eagerly follow.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Logan “Rocket” Carrera may seem like a rough bad**s biker but he’s compassionate to those that need it. His story starts in the book Copper so it’s best to read this series in order but it’s not necessary. If you want the true Hell’s Handlers experience it’s best to start from the beginning.
Chloe Lane is trying to deal with her pain the only way she knows how. Rocket has figured out her secret and if you haven’t gotten it yet, he’ll let you know. Even though this is a work of fiction, what happened to Chloe is something that could actually happen. The sad part about this is that like a lot of women, Chloe is trying to fight her demons by herself.
This author has a way of getting you so ingrained into this series that you don’t want it to ever end. Her books seem to get better until you read the next one and then you say that this one is the best. The men in this series all seem to have redeeming qualities and they’re very protective of the women in their circle – or that they add to their circle. Ms. Atlas knows just what her readers need to patiently, or in my case not so patiently, wait for her next book to come out. I’m terrible at solving mysteries and this author left me with one. With Rocket I can’t tell if the author has put a period to this series or if she’s setting me up for another book. I guess I’ll have to not so patiently wait to find out.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Wow this Hell’s Handlers book really got me my emotions they were all over the place during Rocket , this would be one of the many stories that I have read by Lilly Atlas and I can’t wait to read more by her . Even though Rocket is book five in the Hell’s handlers series it can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend that you read Copper first . The couple were right for one another they just clicked even when the heroine was trying to push the hero away Rocket was strong enough to fight for her. Let me tell you about the sex scenes just WOW even the first time between them was intense they really shared a chemistry that was fire HOT . Can’t wait to read more by the author she is a true genius I’m excited to see what’s to come .

This book was very good and emotional.
What happened to Chloe was heartbreaking.
I am maybe sick but I would have liked to have more details about her struggles…
Ok, she decided to take dominance over men but I thought it was a bit too easy especially after the trauma she has been through. It misses this tiny bit of her world after the trauma, how she really reacted afterwards.
Logan aka Rocket, is the real protector. He doesn’t know it until his Prez show him what he really is.
I really liked how he let her get her strength back by doing what she needs.
I liked his characters and his own dark past that shown and how he manages to get over it.
It was nice to read about the others ol’ladies and the brothers.
Rocket and Chloe’s book is so good!! This series is one of my favorite MC series and Lilly’s writing is awesome.
This book was so emotional and it was heartbreaking what Chloe went through.
But she is strong. Even with all her issues, I think she is the strongest h in this series and one of my faves.
Rocket..this brooding sexy man who don’t talk much and is protective of those he love and care for is my new favorite of all the Heroes in this series.
Emotional, Suspenseful and hot, this book is wat I love in an MC book.
I highly recommend this series. And can’t wait for what’s next.
STARS!
