Back to Babylon we go in Without Shame. Drew, Ayda and the Hounds! This book picks up in a really dark place after the loss of one of the beloved characters. You feel the loss immediately and my heart was so heavy reading how the Hounds were dealing. Drew is in a dark place and lost in his grief. Ayda is circling waiting for him to lean on her. This book is the most emotional of them all. The darkness of grief and the shining light of steadfast love made this book an easy 5 Star read. Victoria L James and Lou J Stock have incredibly chemistry and it shines when writing together. Absolutely incredible. So glad there will more to come from them!
This team writes amazingly well together! I love every single word!! #ONECLICKIT
Bookbub you totally need to give us higher star ratings cause five shiny gold ones just aren’t enough for this book!
This series is one I absolutely adore and I wasn’t sure where Ms James and Ms Stock were going to take this next instalment, didn’t think they could improve on the perfection of the first three books but boy am I glad to say I was wrong!
There wasn’t a single moment in this book that didn’t make me want to turn the page to see what would come next. If real life hadn’t got in the way I would totally have finished this book in one sitting, in fact even when I wasn’t reading the book, Ayda, Drew and the rest of the characters (especially Deeks cause I lurve him) were one my mind, calling for me to go back and read the rest (stupid real life!)
The story is so perfectly paced with a beautiful build up to well… okay I don’t want to give anything away so let’s just go with chaos, that you find yourself swept along with the lives on the page, as if you were there in the moment with the characters. Ayda is strong, like seriously strong but not in an unbelievable way as she has this softness that brings her to life. Drew is of the scale in this book, he’s dark and yet light when he is with Ayda again making him believable and what’s more seriously likeable. Hell if I’m honest with you all the characters are believable, totally likeable, well most of them obviously there are characters that are totally hateable < don’t think that’s actually a word but it works for how I felt as I read, and the way they are written makes you feel like you know each and everyone of them *goes all dreamy eyed wishing I knew Deeks* lol Anyhow I’m babbling so I’ll shut up now after I’ve told you to go read this book and if you haven’t read the series go read that too because I promise you will not be disappointed!
Drew and Ayda….how I have missed these 2!
I am still trying to wrap my head around what I just read. But let me just say, Vic and Lou have out done themselves AGAIN!

Without Shame is the 4th book in the Babylon MC Series. Drew Tucker and Ayda Hanagan’s story continues. Harry is now gone. Drew is grieving and grieving hard. Ayda is so scared that Drew will leave her but, they just grow stronger together.
Drew’s father, Eric is back. He was the President before Drew.
There is a traitor among the Babylon MC members and we find out who it is. There is blood and mayhem in Babylon.
Another great book by Victoria L. James and L. J. Stock! These 2 ladies write seamlessly together! Without Forever is the next book. I can’t wait and it will be out in early 2019! 4.5 stars
You know you are reading a truely epic book when you conciously read it so slowly to take in every word, that is Without Shame! The way these ladies write together is purely magical. I had my heartbroken and was on my last nerve many times, but this book is sooo worth it. I fell deeper in love with Drew, Ayda and the Hounds with every page.
An absolutely awesome 5 star read, this series just keeps getting better and better. Hound for life!!! Can we have book 5 now please?
This series just gets better and better….WOW!!!
This book was just amazing! Get ready for an emotionally ride with Drew, Ayda and the Hounds. I love them all so much <3
VL James and LJ Stock write so beautifully together that you feel like you are a part of the whole series!
Amazing job you two! I can’t recommend this series enough <3
Fraught with danger and the threats surrounding them and the MC the twists keep coming, all while they are also dealing with grief. With Drew lost in his Ayda is fighting to get him back as well as supporting the others. This book is highly emotional, intense and contains graphic and extreme violence. But you still get glimpses of the love. This moves us forward a bit more as the ongoing saga of the battles the MC are facing start coming to a head. It is gripping but I do need to take a break now and then from all the intenseness of it. It’s powerful and dramatic full of action and fantastic characters. As a series you do need to read in order or you will lose large pieces in the build up to the climatic final book, believe me it’s worth it.
Love and life with the Hounds of Babylon.
Another great addition to the series with Drew Tucker and Ayda. This book cannot be read as a standalone and is a continuation of Ayda and Tucker’s journey, unlike most series’s were the next book moves onto another character. Something Drew Tucker fans will be happy about and I am definitely a big Tucker fan.
Life goes on in the club but everyone is consumed with grief over the loss of a member who was a big part of the Hounds, Drew especially who begins to revert back to his bloodthirsty ways, out for revenge, this time though he has Ayda to rein him in.
“You’re always the bullet, darlin. I’m just the gun that needs pointing in the right direction”
I found it slow going at first, the moping and sadness surrounding the death of their loved one went on a bit, then eventually the action, twists and turns begin which I love the most about MC reads.
This is a great series to follow, each book is like catching up with your favorite characters and wondering what on earth could possibly come out of the woodwork this time to get these hounds, these brothers who stick together like a pack hairs raising.
Drew and Ayda’s love for each other is all-consuming, I love these characters and looking forward to more from them and the rest of the MC.
Drew Tucker hadn’t just invaded my heart, he was running through my veins and implanted in my soul”

Cannot be read as a standalone
Without a doubt my fave MC books atm
As this series progresses we see changes in Ayda, Drew and Jack. Always the surly smart alec younger brother now he has picked up some other traits that may change everything for him. Ayda has constantly been the angel on Drew’s shoulder but things now push her in a different direction. This has been an interesting series and now with the betrayal of a mole, Eric’s truths being exposed and a ton of other actions everything is coming to a head. These authors make an interesting team and I have enjoyed the journey. There is plenty of action and crazy MC characters which of course means blood and antics.
Wow wow wow – what a book! Sometimes the further down a series you go, the books aren’t as strong , to me Book 4 knocks the ball right out the park.
We pick up with Drew struggling once again with grief and Ayda bearing the brunt of his emotions. Every chapter is filled with twists and turns and alongside the brothers coming to terms with loss, betrayal rears it’s ugly head.
The whole way through the book, just when you think you have it sorted you realise just how wrong you can be!
The only downside is that your one step closer to the final chapter of the Hounds of Babylon and I’m not sure that I’m ready
This series just keeps getting better! Just when I thought there couldn’t be any more drama or suspense, Drew goes and proves me completely wrong. This is the 4th book in the series and just an intense as the beginning.
This is such an amazing series and the authors do an amazing job at keeping the story fresh. Each books bleeds a little into the next and the ride just keeps going.
I found myself smiling, crying, biting my nails, holding my breath and breathing sighs of relief. There were also times that were so intense I had my face scrunched up as I was reading.
Drew Tucker is a complete bad ass throughout this series and Ayda has turned into as much of a bad ass as him. He has truly met his match with Ayda.
