Elena — I lost my parents as a kid, but a reverend and his wife took me in. They were good to me, even if there had never been many hugs. Then they started pushing me to marry a man I didn’t want, so I ran. I should have known the moment I walked through the clubhouse doors of the Devil’s Fury my life would never be the same. I just didn’t count on a bad boy biker being the one to finally make me feel wanted.

Outlaw — The Devil’s Fury are my family, my brothers, but I’m not the same man I was years ago. I’m scarred and broken, or so I’d thought. The little Latina who came to the clubhouse, then pulled out a damn book to read had my attention right away. When someone tries to hurt her, I know that I’ll keep her safe. In fact, I’ll just keep her. She’s awakened a part of me I’d thought I’d lost. Didn’t count on her bringing trouble with her, or nearly losing her, but she’s mine and I will fight for her to the very end.

“Outlaw” by Harley Wylde is a gripping and intense romance novel that delves into the world of motorcycle clubs, danger, and redemption. As the second book in the Devil’s Fury MC series, it follows the story of Outlaw, a hardened member of the Devil’s Fury Motorcycle Club, who is haunted by his past and struggling to find his place in the world.

Elena ends up at the Devil’s Fury club house, after running away from home. Her parents intended to marry her off to a man much older than her. She has lived an isolated life, with little to no experience of the outside world, especially interactions with boys. Her innocence attracts Outlaw’s attention and, after she is drugged by someone in the MC entourage, he becomes her protector. He will share his house with her, until the culprit is identified and punished. There is more to the story and our main characters have to navigate, not only their feelings, but also a web of connections to dangerous men.

The dangers of living an isolated life or the unfortunate consequences of raising a child in an overprotective environment are clearly highlighted in the story.  Elena kept hidden from her foster parents her attempts at finding out what is like to live outside a religious household. Still she was not ready for what she found at the MC house.

The self-discovery journey that both our characters take is described in detail, with the author doing an excellent job of expressing what they feel at every moment. We see them evolve: Elena becomes sure of herself and her desires, while Outlaw learns what is like to trust and love.

From romance perspective, what Outlaw and the heroine have is steamy and passionate, with plenty of chemistry and tension to keep readers hooked. Her lack of experience is compensated by her curiosity and desire to learn how to please him. Outlaw’s body has not been the same since an incident in his past – he’s lost part of the function in his fingers and has issues … performing (you know… “performing”). Elena wakes up this part in him and his protective side as well. She quickly learns the ins and outs of MC life and finds comfort in Outlaw’s arms.

The author does an excellent job of portraying the gritty and often brutal world of motorcycle clubs, while also highlighting the sense of brotherhood and loyalty that binds the members together. The story is action packed. There are a lot of things going on and because of the short length, it feels too fast paced. The elements from the other books in the series are added in a subtle way, enough to keep us wanting more from this world.  

I’ve listened to the audio version and I must say that Umi Markkanen did an excellent job capturing our MCs’ emotions in her interpretation. I had no problem differentiating between characters, even when multiple females were in the same scene for example. Congratulations!

Cover Review:  I’m not a big fan, unfortunately. I don’t understand the green. It gives me the impression of an oily environment. The motorcycle is not visible enough – it’s covered by the title. I’m not a fan…  

Overall, “Outlaw” is a thrilling and captivating read that will appeal to fans of motorcycle club romances and those who enjoy stories of redemption and second chances. Harley Wylde has crafted a compelling tale that is both heart-wrenching and exhilarating.

About The Author

Harley Wylde is the International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil’s Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.

When Harley’s writing, her motto is the hotter the better — off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can’t deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you’ve come to the right place. She doesn’t shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

The times Harley isn’t writing, she’s thinking up naughty things to do to her husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She’s also fond of TV shows and movies from the 1980’s, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990’s to today, even though she’d much rather be reading or writing.
