Fleur: Never in a million years would I have expected a woman I considered a friend to betray me in the worst possible way. Yet it happened. Drugged and in the back room of a BDSM club, I was about to be used in a brutal way. Until he exploded to my rescue.

Beast: I’m Salvation’s Bane's enforcer. My job is to protect. So when I notice something amiss in the BDSM club Bane owns, I’m there to shut that shit down. What I find is a woman who ignites passions inside me better left alone.

What will she think when she finds out the lengths I’ll go to protect what’s mine? I come by my name honest. When it comes to protecting my club, or my woman, I’m the most ferocious beast you could ever imagine.

Story Review:
MMC/FMC- Beast and Fleur
POV- 3rd person
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- YMMV. They do ALL the things and it’s very explicit. If you like explicit, it’s about a 4/5 on the hotness scale. If you don’t like explicit or reading about ALL the things, you would rate it lower.
Series? Y
Safety? N. No cheating, but attempted S.A.
Triggers- Attempted S.A., Torture, Language, Violence, Explicit Erotic Content, Pink Harleys
Trope(s)- Damsel in Distress, Instalust, Grumpy /Sunshine.
What I liked- I liked the character arc. Beast/Gideon is gruff but Fleur brings out the best in him. Fleur tends to be a pushover, but there was marked growth on both of their parts.
What I didn’t like- the attempted S.A. was a little hard to read.
Can we talk about… The cover. I keep thinking that the model is going to say, “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.”
Narration Review
Umi is, as always, flawless. They do all of the character voices equally well and I forgot their voice sounded feminine when she was doing the male voices.

I received an advance review copy and this is my honest, voluntary review.

Excellent story, stellar narration

This is the story of Beast and Fleur, book 2 of the series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, however I got more out of it reading it in order. Beast is the MC enforcer. Fleur is his opposite, a soft spoken gentle women, at a low point in her life. They make a cute couple, their characteristics complimenting each other. I liked the story, and how loving Fleur showed the softer side of Beast. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This was a great book. Loved the characters and the storyline. Love they have the bad boy biker image but are the good guys. This had good world building in it and the narrator was great with the characters making you want to hear more and follow the book closely wanting more. I listened to the first book, and it hooked me some, but this one hooked me all the way. I can't wait to get more in the series. Love to that it refers to the other clubs in the Bones MC world. I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.

Great audiobook

This is the second novella in the Salvation's Bane MC Series. Beast and Fleur's story is fast-paced, and passionate. Beast is handsome, and protective. Fleur is naive, and strong. Umi Markkanen did a great job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Thorn, the next book in the series. #StoryOrigin

I have to say so far Beast/Gideon is the most grumpiest of grumps til he comes face to face with Fleur (what a beautiful name).

Fleur being alone and wanting a friend finds one a high school friend. Tricked and betrayed, she is wary of anyone and anything any says but Beast/Gideon stays firm and consistent.

Umi Markkanen is perfect for these interconnected biking series and I am quite envious of her voice and how she just switches from character to character...it is like being a proverbial fly on the wall.

This one starts out darker than some of the others, so I was hooked instantly.

Smex club.
Traff!cking.
Non-con.
Possessive male lead.
Vengeance.
Club life.
Fast-burn.

It does use the ‘misunderstanding’ trope but that’s resolved pretty quickly, after they fall pretty fast and hard. IMO, it works.

Still hooked on this series.

4 stars.

Audio:
The narrator did a great job - performing rather than sounding like a bot, and using different voices for different characters. Excellent. Overall sound quality was perfect. 5 stars.

Amazing narrator!

I enjoyed this story line I love that they are short and sweet but you still get a complete full story. I do with there was a little more interaction with the club in this one but overall it's was a good quick listen with great narration.

Good continuation

This isn’t a long book (less than 6 hours) of listening and it could have easily be double as long.
I really liked it but I probably have loved it if we gotten less speed and more character depth and development.

However, this was an enjoyable story and likable characters. I think the writing is good and so was the narrator. All in all a solid 4 stars - good but not excellent.

I received a free copy through StoryOrigin. This is review is voluntary and my personal unbiased opinion.

I like how Gideon "Beast" Lee doesn't suffer fools, and he makes fools suffer. I appreciate how he responds to the danger that Fleur Durant finds herself in. I especially love that he gives her a seat at the table when it comes to deciding some of what happens next.

The heat is quick and fiery. There's danger that is swiftly and soundly dealt with but only after Fleur is put in a very compromised and scary position. (Check your triggers.) This may start very scary, but I love the results, including a bit of vigilante justice. Beast and Fleur shouldn't fit, but they do.

Her "friend" proves a couple of times that she has a big set with the stunts she pulls. I'm honestly ambivalent towards her given the things she's done and the cost she pays. I want to feel bad for her, but I also want so much worse for her based on her actions. Quite the conundrum.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen, and she again provides a wonderful performance.
