I thought this was a good read! I loved the characters, and I was happy to finally see Angel get his story. I would have liked to have a little more love story with these two. They've known each other for years, but there was never anything hinted about them liking each other. It just kind of went from nothing to something pretty quickly. I think they do have good chemistry. It was nice to get some back story on Jewel, because she's been a secondary character in the other books, but you never really learn anything about her. I enjoyed her getting to have a relationship with her brother again. Family is hard sometimes. It was nice to see the other guys from the MC and how their HEAs were working out. I've loved all the stories in this series, and this was no different!

Waited too long to claim her
I've loved reading this series and Angel and jewel's story was just as good as the rest. I found it slow to start but it cuts to the bone when they finally get together only for them to push it all away, I felt for jewel as Even though she loved Angel being around him and not with him was a worse pain to suffer so felt she was right in trying to break away. I hope there are more stories to follow

This book follows Angel as he takes over as President of the club and how he and Jewel (the club bartender) fall for each other.
The book opens with the birthday party of Noah (Ghost's and Jenna's kid) which was a nice surprise as we've heard very little about them or their kids since their own book (book 1). During the party Angel is very pensive and thinks about how being the newly-appointed President of the club is great but something is missing and how it might just be Jewel (who he's had a crush on since he met her). When we switch to Jewel's POV she also says the same thing - working for the MC is great but she is missing something in life, and it might just be Angel. This is a massive surprise as they have both been prominent characters in the previous 6 books and yet there was no flirting or any interactions to hint at this. It feels very out of left field and I'd have liked some more build up!
It is also worth mentioning that by this point in the series, nearly all the main characters have had kids (either from the timeline of their own book or in the background of someone else's) and yet we never hear about them or see them, despite the MC being a 'real family'. It has been 7 years since the first book and there are now about a dozen children, but this is the first mention of them.
Jewel's brother, Jude, is sent to live with her after being released from juvie and getting kicked out of their parent's house. Jewel hasn't seen or heard from her brother in about 10 years and Jude doesn't want any help or to get to know her again. He is generally angsty and stand-offish in the first half of the book - he doesn't listen to Jewel or follow her rules, gets involved with a white supremacy gang looking for a place to fit in, and ends up being one of the catalysts for Jewel getting captured at the end of the book. He comes round eventually though and it's nice to see him set aside the teenage angst and settle in properly. I thought Jewel and Jude's relationship and Jude's struggle to to fit in were the more compelling storylines in this book.
In between dealing with her wayward brother, Jewel spends a lot of the book reflecting on her life and how she is progressing. She worries that she has stayed at the MC for too long and not made any advancements as there isn't any room for promotion. She toys with leaving town entirely and starting afresh, but in the end stays for her relationship with Angel and a new job managing a new bar. This sense of invisibility and not feeling like a part of anything was a really relatable storyline and I enjoyed reading Jewel work through it.
The overarching MC plot continues in this book with the Lords of Carnage taking out the remnants of the two rival MCs that were attacked but not entirely removed in previous books (Iron Spiders from books 1/2 and Outlaw Sons from book 3/4/5). They join up with the Ironwood Lords of Carnage (a new second location for the club) and allied club the Death Devils and use literal rocket launchers to decimate their hideout. Despite this being a huge deal for the MC, it is dealt with really quickly at the start of the book and feels like a side-plot overall. It could have had more lead up and detail to add more depth to the book.
3/5 stars, another good entry for the series but could have had more detail
