"You're such a beast."

I loved Greg Cage in Axel. Loved him! He's protective, caring, sweet, and looks out for "his girls" Izzy and Dee and his brothers in Security Corps. But holy moly, Greg Cage is even hotter than I thought! I am talking OMG, panty melting, combustible kind of hot! He is also a foul mouthed, cocky alpha with an attitude and ferocious appetite. He is tatted, uniquely pierced, and fierce. He has failed to protect someone close to him in the past and it haunts him and makes him even more protective of those in his life now. In the beginning, he is such a man whore. But he is open to the idea of finding love and it is refreshing that he is not one of the men that runs from the idea of it.

He meets Melissa at the Doctor's office and they spark immediately. She happens to be friends with Izzy so they find themselves around each other at other times. Once they dance together, they seriously catch fire. Their chemistry was insane! 

But, I can tell you that if the way I feel for you now keeps growing, there isn't an army strong enough to pull me out. Spent too long wanting someone worth it and as crazy as it sounds? One look baby...it took one look....

Melissa is a tough, challenging chick who loves to antagonize Greg. She likes to play games and be in control. She doesn't want to end up being controlled by any man. She has a lot on her plate and tragedy in her past. And with Melissa, Greg has met his match. 

But their strong attraction and physical connection is not the only connection they share. They have similar tragic pasts and there are secrets threatening to come to light. Will demons from the past encroach on their present and ruin a chance for a future?

I love the unfiltered, crazy characters in this series. We get to continue seeing Axel and Izzy's story develop. We get to see more denial and wanting with Emmy and Maddox and more drama with Dee and Becke. And Zeke Cooper just seems to always be in the mix flirting and adding humor. I cannot wait for their stories. Next up is Dee and Becke. We will finally get to figure out what is holding Dee back and why have been fighting their feelings so long. 

If you love rude, crude, but totally lovable alphas and woman who also speak their mind, this is series for you. These couples are funny, passionate, and crazy about each other. They will do anything they need to in order to protect and support their friends.  This was  funny, fast paced, steamy, romantic, suspenseful and emotional.  It grabbed me, sucked me in, made me laugh, had me on edge, and kept me up until way past bedtime to get to the end.

Thanks to Harper Sloan for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
