Goodreads you totally need to give us higher star ratings cause five shiny gold ones just aren’t enough for this book!
This series is one I absolutely adore and I wasn’t sure where Ms James and Ms Stock were going to take this next instalment, didn’t think they could improve on the perfection of the first three books but boy am I glad to say I was wrong!
There wasn’t a single moment in this book that didn’t make me want to turn the page to see what would come next. If real life hadn’t got in the way I would totally have finished this book in one sitting, in fact even when I wasn’t reading the book, Ayda, Drew and the rest of the characters (especially Deeks cause I lurve him) were one my mind, calling for me to go back and read the rest (stupid real life!)
The story is so perfectly paced with a beautiful build up to well... okay I don’t want to give anything away so let’s just go with chaos, that you find yourself swept along with the lives on the page, as if you were there in the moment with the characters. Ayda is strong, like seriously strong but not in an unbelievable way as she has this softness that brings her to life. Drew is of the scale in this book, he’s dark and yet light when he is with Ayda again making him believable and what’s more seriously likeable. Hell if I’m honest with you all the characters are believable, totally likeable, well most of them obviously there are characters that are totally hateable < don’t think that’s actually a word but it works for how I felt as I read, and the way they are written makes you feel like you know each and everyone of them *goes all dreamy eyed wishing I knew Deeks* lol
Anyhow I’m babbling so I’ll shut up now after I’ve told you to go read this book and if you haven’t read the series go read that too because I promise you will not be disappointed!

Without Shame is the 4th book in the Babylon MC Series. Drew Tucker and Ayda Hanagan’s story continues. Harry is now gone. Drew is grieving and grieving hard. Ayda is so scared that Drew will leave her but, they just grow stronger together.
Drew’s father, Eric is back. He was the President before Drew.
There is a traitor among the Babylon MC members and we find out who it is. There is blood and mayhem in Babylon.
Another great book by Victoria L. James and L. J. Stock! These 2 ladies write seamlessly together! Without Forever is the next book. I can’t wait and it will be out in early 2019! 4.5 stars

I enjoyed this book, but for me out of the whole series book two is my favourite. It was great catching up with Drew and Ayda though, both great strong characters.

I basically binged read this series within a week. I have read the 1st book some time ago but then life happened and interrupted my reading time. But now I have restarted and I simply couldn't stop. Thank God my husband was doing a night shift that week otherwise we would have words as he would tell me off that I am reading till late. Again #sorrynotsorry
This series. Omg. Where to even begin and not give spoilers. This series is one of them that when your friend ask you to recommend a good MC book to them, you simply shove it down their throat to ensure they are reading it.
I love how the characters are simply real. You can totally imagine them being exactly how they were described. And you just have to love them. You love the good. The bad. Because simply there is no other way around it.
The writing is beautiful. With perfect pace and build up. And the feels? Oh man. The feels are everywhere in here. I want my own Drew *sighs deeply*.
Well simply go and read it. Now. Thank me and authors for creating this masterpiece later.
You are welcome

It seemed that I am watching all over again Sons of Anarchy while I binge read this serie.
This is the fourth book and the story between Ayda and Drew carry on with the grief and bloodthirst from Drew ,the president who is eaten up from his revenge need to punish the enemies for their dead member and won't think about anything else until it's done. The angst and heartbreak that he has to go through only makes him more lovable but I also felt so much for him as hate can change a person in so many ways and without wanting they will always hurt the ones they love because they stay around and have to put up with all his moods. Ayda again is the strongest woman that I have read about and can't stop thinking why is she still staying next to him when she could have a simple life but again the authors are showing us how the love for the other half is stronger than anything we could imagine.
There are new answers for questions that I had in the previous books and new characters are making apearence and will love to know more about them in the next book.
As always the story is very unpredictable and when you thought that ooo I got this ,something happens and everything changes again,but I am not disappointed at all.
Now that I finished all of the books in this serie that are released i hate to wait for the next one for almost a year.

Five stars isn't enough for any of these books, Just when you think they cant get any better you read Without Shame! they are so well written I haven't a clue which part was written by who, they have you turning the pages wanting more and getting it!
I really loved Without Shame, you see more of Drew's dark side and being brought back to the light by the one woman that believes in him no matter what he does, Ayda is his strength, his love and his future. You see more of Eric but want to know more about the secrets he is holding on to.
There is so much more I could say about this book but won't as it would give too much away, just say once again they are threatened and there is chaos all around them.
I am so looking forward to reading the last book in this series, but also scared as I just don't want it to end, Drew and Ayda are in my heart now and I need more and more.

I've just finished reading this and my parting words were "Noooooooo, you can't leave me hanging like that!". And then came "WOW".
What a rollercoaster this one has been. It felt like forever since the last book, and I'd been hanging on for this as I was desperate to know where the road was taking the Hounds next. But boy, I was NOT expecting half that shizz that went down.
This was a complete rollercoaster, so much more than the previous three - I wasn't sure it could get any better, but it did! I've had gasps, laughs, leaking eyes. The pure, raw, passion and emotion within, especially from my beloved Drew, was completely gripping. And the shameless torture, if you will. Not for the faint-hearted!
Once again, completely seamless writing from James & Stock - they are such a great pairing and need to be cracking on with the next, please, thanks...
