The night we met, I only tagged along to support my best friend. Then I saw Lilly. There’s no harm in picking up a girl for myself, right? One time. A few hours with her underneath me. No longer than a night. That’s all I ever need with a woman. I’m the Vice President of the Lost Kings MC. There’s no shortage of women waiting to warm my bed.Lilly’s appetite matches my own and one night suits her … her fine. But it’s not enough. I can’t get her out of my head, even though she makes it clear she’s not available. Suddenly, I find myself seeking Lilly out on holidays and special occasions, using any excuse to be near her. That’s when I realize she’s the only one I want to spend all my nights with. Now if I can convince her what we have amounts to more than a few lust-filled hours. I don’t know where we went wrong but this is how it all begins¿

Hot!!
LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Z is one of my favorite characters and Autumn Jones Lake never disappoints in her books!!!
Zero Hour (A Prequel to Zero Tolerance): Lost Kings MC 11.5 is a collection of short stories about Z and Lilly. The book sets us up for the upcoming release to Zero Tolerance and Zero Regret.
We had the pleasure to read about Z and Lilly throughout the LOKI series but never the backstory to their relationship. I love how Autumn provided us this insight to their story with this book. I can’t wait to read Zero Tolerance!!!!
I recommend this entire LOKI series!
You can see from the title that this is a prequel, so basically an introduction of sorts. If you’re a Lost Kings fan, then about 75% of this you’ve already read. If you’re new to this motorcycle club, this is a perfect place to start before you dive into Zero’s HEA journey coming in a couple of weeks!
This little piece of goodness is a compilation of Lilly and Zero. They are moments in time from the last couple of years where Lilly and Zero were together. It gives you an insight on the very beginning of Lilly and Zero and it also sets up the bomb that is coming our way in Zero Tolerance. Even for super fans like myself, it’s a wonderful reminder of Zero and Lilly.
This prequel will be free on all major retailers so there’s no excuse for any of you not to dig in and get to know Z and Lilly, even tho it’s just a snippet of them 🙂
I have been waiting so long for Z’s story. This is just what I needed but now I need more!!!!
Omg I loved this short stories, makes everything come together and helped me understand Z a little but more. Autumn really stole my heart with this story the different little mini stories each had it’s own heart and one you couldn’t help falling for. This really get’s you ready for what’s to come. Z might be my next fav biker, a totally different side of him really shines in these stories. #TEAMZ I’m in love with it right from the start, steamy and sexy and pure alpha all mixed into the different pages makes turning the pages that much more enjoyable.
I loved this prequel about Lilly & Z! I love the chemistry between these two characters and I can’t wait to read their story!
I’m so ready to read Z’s book even more after getting a quick peek in to the woman who can bring this alpha male to his knees with her sassy mouth and no nonsense attitude. As a fan on the men and women of LOKI Z’s story is the one I have anticipated the most and I’m so anxiously awaiting it!!!
This is a prequel to Z’s story. It’s full of short stories of Z and Lilly. It’s a fun little read to get you excited about Z’s book. I can’t wait to read Z’s story now.
Zero Hour is meant to be the Prequel to Zero Tolerance. I just see it as something to give us our Z fix as we wait. With its focus on Z & Lilly, it reminds us of their interactions and how strong their chemistry is . I’m #teamrock but I will say that Z is #hellahot . Thank you Autumn Jones Lake for releasing this and giving your awesome readers there fix as they wait for Zero Tolerance!
I oftentimes grumble and go back and forth on whether I want to read a prequel or novella that fills in the gaps between a book series. Well, let me just tell ya that you don’t want to miss this one!!! It is so hot and sexy! Be sure to have a fan and cold drink close by! Whew! But more than that, Zero Hour gives you all the background you need to know about Z and Lilly. I cannot wait to read Zero Tolerance! These two are fire! I’m so happy to have started with this perfect set-up of their relationship and the drama that is to come. Don’t miss it!
Another 5 start story!! Every time I get a little insight into another LOKI man I think I’ve found ‘the one’. They are all so . You never expect the big teddy bear behind the bad bad biker. Z is so amazing and sweet and as much as I hate to admit I really do like Lilly. She’s exactly perfect for him. It’s going to be a long week waiting for the next LOKI fix!
I CAN NOT WAIT for Zero Tolerance to come out next week!! Zero Hour was the best way to get ready for Autumn’s next release in the Lost Kings series. This series is a favorite! Any time I get to slip away to the clubhouse with all of my LOKI men is The BEST!! If you are new to the series, this is a great way to get caught up!
I am falling hard and fast for my man, Z!
I can’t wait to see what the heck LIlly has got going on in her head!
Loved it! This little prequel is basically all the main moments between Lilly and Zero since Hope and Rock got together. Z wants a relationship with her but Lilly doesn’t want to be “owned” by any man. Their connection is undeniable and although they always agreed to bed buddies Z wants more with her. I have a feeling Z and Lilly’s books are going to kill me. I’m so ready for the emotional rollercoaster!
Important to Read Before Moving on to Zero Tolerance… “Zero Hour” is the 15th installment and 4th short story in the Lost Kings MC series written by author Autumn Jones Lake. It is a refresher of sorts of Z’s and Lilly’s meeting and budding connection. And unlike Lake’s previous novellas, this one is told as five separate, chapter length, story shorts, four taken from previous Lost Kings (LOKI) installments, and one new story.
Unlike the other couples within this series, Z and Lilly pop in and out seemingly at random. They do not have a consistent story like other couples such as Wrath and Trinity have. Which, after reading the other series books, is a perfect example of the brilliant frame-working by Lake to parallel their personalities, and where they are in life, to the pacing of the LOKI world around them. As a result, they have flitted in and out of the previous books at a fairly fast pace, so it was nice to have all of their setup scenarios in one place.
And even though I am still seething at Lilly after the end events of the last book… It was definitely nice to get a reminder of how their relationship came to be. And it offers some enlightening bits that better frame the events leading up to the bombshell revelation contained at the end of “After Glow”.
Honestly, the rage I felt toward Lilly at the end of “After Glow” had me contemplating skipping this novella, and instead, diving directly into “Zero Tolerance”. However, I’m glad I didn’t because reading the five stories together afforded me some time to better understand the head spaces of both characters. It also allowed me to see interactions between them differently, in a context pertaining solely to them. This cooled my anger some at Lilly…not much…BUT, I do feel I have a better sense of the “why” of things that lead to the bombshell ending of “After Glow”. And unlike her other novellas, which were intended as fun, lighthearted side trips, this one is important to understanding Z and Lilly’s relationship foundation, and necessary to read before going into their trilogy.
Despite my current hatred for Lilly, this book nicely sets the stage for her’s and Z’s story in full, contained in Lake’s next three Loki books, “Zero Tolerance”, “Zero Regret”, and “Zero Apologies”. It is a necessary introduction and a proper prequel to what I know is a much, much, much bigger story. Kudos once again to Lake for offering up yet another emotionally complex, compelling story. I am firmly addicted to the Lost Kings MC universe, and a life long fan of Autumn Jones Lake. NOW, on to Zero!!
Zero hour (a prequel to Zero Toletance, Lost Kings Mc )
This is a few short stories with a look into Zero and Lilly’s beginning.
Even though they are short stories. Some have been read before, if you have read the entire series in order.
And we keep saying Autumn has a way of pulling you into the story. This is one reason we live Autum and her writings. Love this book. We get to see some new and reminded of past stories.
These two have great chemistry.. they really like each other. But then Lilly runs off without a word.
Why did she run? Will Z overcome his anger to go find her?
Can’t wait for Zero Tolerance to find out the answers to so many questions
This is an amazing book and series! A must read!
Fantastic short stories tells the beginning of Z and Lilly’s story. Their chemistry and banter is off the charts, scorching hot. I’m so excited and can’t wait to read Zero Tolerance!
I absolutely love this book and cant wait for more z and Lilly and got to go down memory Lane with them when they were together in the other books. We get to see each other side of how they were feeling about each other and let’s you see a side of a scared Lilly and how she thinks about relationships. Thank you Autumn for allowing us to get to see this side of them again and cant wait to see what happens in the next book.
Zero Hour is the perfect prequel for getting me pumped and excited to read Z and Lilly’s upcoming story – Zero Tolerance. This prequel is all about them. Short stories of how they first meet and how insanely hot their chemistry is. They agree to only have a sexual relationship but their connection and attraction run so much deeper. Lilly is such a feisty and intelligent woman who knows her strengths. I forgot how much I adore her but I’m not a fan of the way she leaves it with Z. As tough a man he can be towards his brothers and people in general as gentle and sweet he is towards Lilly. They want more but don’t want to ruin what they have going on. I’m crazy about Z aka Angus. His book is finally here. Book 12 and he’s definitely been worth the wait. I’m a diehard Loki fan forever.
