So this is the super-gritty biker read that I read all last weekend and part of last week and really enjoyed. It is being 5-starred by SO many in our group. If you want to immerse yourself in a “book-world” (intense lifestyle, criminal activity, injustice… justice, and the main course, forbidden love) and you love to be completely absorbed by a series for a week or two (or more!)… these books are for you!
Britton: This is probably hands down the best motorcycle club book I have ever read! I can’t wait for others to read this gem because that is what it truly is !
Bethany: Oooooh!!! i just finished it and am reading book 2 now!!! It is long, but really doesn’t feel like it when you’re reading it. I don’t know how I didn’t know about this series sooner! I love when an MC series is done right! New Fav!!!
Jennifer: I am 94% in. It is fantastic! I love long books, to the point that I rarely read anything under 300 pages (only if it is a continuation sequel). There is definitely some angst, but it is beautifully done. Very well written, almost literary for an MC novel. I mean certainly not Emily Bronte, but just a way to differentiate it from others. The character development is excellent. There are many, but you still feel the soul of all of them. A little lengthy in descriptions sometimes, but mostly adds to the beauty of the story. It’s a 5 star for me!
Tracie: I’m still thinking about scenes from Fearless…I just loved this book so hard core!
Reanell: I ADORED Fearless! I just finished Price of Angels and it was just as good!! Lauren Gilley is an author to watch!
Jill: Such a good book!! The next one is awesome too!!!
Lori: just you wait…gah! it’s sooooo good!
Maryse: God I love it!! Mercy is all hers. When her father said. “Call him off.” OMG YESSSSSSS!!!
Tracie: That is my favorite scene in the book, knowing only she could do it? Just perfection
Nicole: I couldn’t out this book down! I read it over a day & 1/2. I’d do some dishes, take a break & read, fold some laundry, take a break & read lol Then I was like “oh the cats cuddled up to me, I better not disturb him, guess I should read a bit more”
Angela: What is the reading order? I’m confused when I look at Goodreads with the different parts????
Here it is Angela (below). I hope it helps!! 
About book #1:
From the author of the Walker Series comes a family drama like no other, a sprawling character epic, a forbidden love story full of angst, adventure, heartbreak, and second chances. Welcome to the mother chapter of the Lean Dogs Motorcycle Club; meet the girl raised by outlaws, and the fearsome man who will always hold her heart.
Ava Teague left for college with a busted heart and a deeply ingrained love for her biker family. She returns home to Knoxville for grad school, just in time for her father to accept the burden of president…and for Mercy Lécuyer to roll back into town, looking to patch into the Tennessee chapter once more. She’ll steer clear of him, she tells herself. She has a new life, a new boyfriend, and a new outlook. But she can’t shake her DNA. And maybe she doesn’t want to.
Felix Lécuyer left the swamps of Louisiana for a life as an outlaw biker named Mercy, but it was his family, and the retribution he dealt because of it, that made him famous within the club. Fourteen years ago he fled New Orleans for Knoxville, to become an extractor and bodyguard within the mother chapter, guarding Ghost Teague’s family, becoming a constant companion to little Ava. When she was seventeen, he finally crossed the line. Now she’s twenty-two, and he’s back in town as an old nemesis rears its ugly head, and puts the entire club in danger. The fate of the club is uncertain, but Mercy has no doubts about his heart; it still belongs to Ava.
Now available as a complete novel, Fearless launches a thrilling new series about the Lean Dogs of Tennessee, and the women tough enough to love them.

I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy.

Just finished book2, right on the heels of book one – and have already purchased the novella that sits between 2 and 3…. so… I guess that’s my way of saying HECK YES this is totally your next read if you are a fan of MC books! Some of the best of the bunch!!!
I absolutely loved these books! So good! I can’t wait for walsh’s story. Come on September!!!
The third one is Walsh’s story? Man…. I was hoping for Tango or Aiden… or maybe Carter…. one of the younger guys. Or that guy from the other MC – the tall, 6’4″ blonde guy… oh well… I’m sure it will be good.
Aiden is after Walsh *sigh* and then Tango *double sigh*!!!!!!!!
I’m on book 2!
Just finished fearless 3am now after 3 days of non stop reading. 5 star read. I read a comment that compared this book to Sons of Anarchy & I have to say this book is so much better. The main 2 reasons no cheating (that made me want to stop watching Sons but we all know why I didnt) & the ending. This book would make a much better tv series. Thank you Maryse for introducing me to Mercy. Now start book 2 or sleep hmmmmm.
I’m about mid way through and OMG LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
ERIN!….I almost choked when I read your post…..I COMPLETELY stopped watching Sons the minute Jax hooks up with the Skanky Hobag after leaving his wife…. right near the beginning! I calmly got up. Stopped the dvd. Collected the entire series of dvds up and put them in the bin. And I have never watched another episode.
I have read all her books except Snow in Texas that is being published in chapters. They just keep getting better. Glad this one is out early!
