I love Paisley Hope, and she really did not disappoint. This book had me in a chokehold, I literally couldn’t put it down. Now this book has some dark themes, and the spice is right up there. But Gabriel is some man, in the you’re mine and I will kill everyone who even looks at you type of way.

Brinley starts out by moving home after a breakup, and runs into her friend. When attending her fiends wedding events she meets Wolfe (Gabriel). Their relationship is volatile, intense, consuming and dangerous. Boy oh boy does it make for a good read.

I can’t wait for the rest of the series to arrive now.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK for the ARC!

In my opinion this is Paisley Hope at her best. I’m a sucker for a cowboy romance and have loved her previous book. This was a different read for me being a dark romance and I absolutely loved it. The spice was on point and I loved venturing into the world of a motorcycle club and its inner workings.

I loved how even though the MMC was dark and dangerous we got an insight into his past and vulnerable side. The female main character was sassy and stood her ground.

I read this so quickly and found it hard to put down. Found myself giggling and kicking my feet a lot. Loved it.

Read this book for:
🪽 Bad boy x Good girl
🏍️ Morally grey MMC
🪽 Forced proximity
🏍️ Opposites attract
🪽 Touch her and die
🏍️ Run little hummingbird

Synopsis
“Ride faster than your angel can fly.”

Gabriel Wolfe is no ordinary man—he’s a fallen angel, exiled from grace and forged in fire. As the ruthless president of the Hounds of Hell MC, Wolfe thrives in a world of blood, vengeance, and chaos. It's the only way he knows how to survive. Until Brinley Rose Beaumont crashes into his life.

She’s light in his darkness. Beauty in his brutality. And temptation he can’t resist.

But Wolfe doesn’t do softness. And Brinley? She’s about to discover what happens when you tempt the devil behind the wheel.

My Thoughts
Since this is a dark romance, I strongly recommend reading the trigger warnings before diving in. The story explores some intense and potentially sensitive topics that may not be for everyone.

After feeling unfulfilled in her relationship with Evan—and breaking things off when she finds out he isn’t proposing as she expected—Brinley decides it’s time for a fresh start. She packs up and moves back to her small hometown of Harmony, Georgia. And from the very first night back, the nostalgia hits hard—in the best way.

Brinley is quickly reunited with her childhood best friend, Layla—her peanut butter to her jelly. The way their friendship is described throughout the book is absolutely heartwarming and beautifully real. It’s that rare kind of bond where, no matter how much time passes, you pick up right where you left off—no awkwardness, just soul-deep connection. Their dynamic was such a refreshing part of this dark, gritty story—honestly, chef’s kiss.
Then comes him.

Brinley first lays eyes on Gabriel Wolfe on Main Street, as she’s sitting on a café terrace, latte in hand. He stops right in front of her, surrounded by his motorcycle crew, the infamous Hounds of Hell (HOH). The moment is electric. Their eyes meet—and something clicks. She’s instantly intrigued. Wolfe is danger and desire wrapped in leather and sin, and exactly the kind of bad boy energy she’s been craving—especially after watching her best friend Layla experience the fiery passion she longs for with her fiancé, Sean “Ax.” And let me tell you—Wolfe delivers.

Their chemistry is explosive from the beginning, and what unfolds between them is intense, chaotic, and so gripping you can’t look away. As the story progresses, you truly feel how deep their connection runs. One of my favorite moments is when Brinley gives Chelsea, Touch him and hell will freeze over vibes. It said everything. These two are absolutely gone for each other.

The plot twist? Oh my god. Even though I had a feeling something was coming, the who and the why still blindsided me. It was done so well. Suspenseful, emotional, and the perfect amount of shocking. I didn’t see that reveal coming, and I loved every second of it.

And the ending? Perfection. The epilogue gave me all the feels—an incredibly satisfying happily-ever-after that felt earned. It was the perfect way to close out a story filled with grit, passion, healing, and heart.

Thank you so much to Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for this ARC. I absolutely devoured it and would recommend it to any dark romance fan looking for something raw, passionate, and unforgettable.

After getting a taste of the relationship between Ax and Layla I cannot wait for their book!

I received an e-ARC from NetGalley of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a whole lot of spice, right from beginning to end. Some parts made me aw and some parts made me read it through one eye, but I really did enjoy it.

4.5
I loved everything about this book! The mmc was a broody male who fell head over heels for the fmc. I enjoyed how both characters were a force to be reckoned with and how Wolfe helped Brinley to stand up for herself.

This book was so fast paced and actioned packed. It had me hooked from the first page. I was so invested in their story and what would happen with the club.

Would definitely recommend this book!

What to say about Paisley Hope’s books that haven’t been said yet? Another great book by her, a fab story

I read this so quickly!
A dark motorcycle club romance is not my usual go to romance genre but I have liked other Paisley Hope books.
This is a spicy, immediate lust with some kink.
The non romantic plot element in Wolf.e features almost as heavily as the love story.
It took me a little while to warm up to the FMC but once I did I really liked to see how she evolved and grew into her role within our MMCs lifestyle.
The only part I didn’t enjoy was the epilogue and that was mostly because it felt out of place, too soft and mushy for the book.

I received this book as an ARC and provide an honest review.

This book was EVERYTHING I DIDNT NO I NEEDED! I absolutely love the silver pine series but this new dark romance?! I need more please! It had age gap, forced proximity, obsessive mmc, duel pov, MORALLY GREY MAN THAT HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIEND. IT WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE! And damn it was good spice!

this book was EVERYTHING!!!!!! gabriel and brin truly own my heart. brin becoming an absolute badass was EVERYTHING to me!!!!!! i genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything better

It started off really good. The first half had me gripped and I was loving the direction of the story until it shifted and it felt like it dragged.

The characters were genuinely complimentary. Perfectly made for each other. The chemistry and tension was sooo good the first half like damn it had me biting my knuckles with anticipation.

Them getting together so quickly wasn’t the problem for me because I’m usually not bothered about if it’s insta lust or slow burn, I enjoy both. My problem i think was with the proportions of smut that left little room for the plot and emotional development. It felt a little tired and their primal kink lost its shine after the first six times.

I was expecting a spicy good time not a smutty good time so if ur going in without knowing much then i hope this appropriately adjusts those expectations for u.

5 ⭐️

Thankyou to NetGalley and Random House UK for the ARC opportunity and letting me get to enjoy this book once again!!

Im a big fan of Paisleys work and this didn’t disappoint. Gabriel and Brinley have officially entered the top 5 favourite book couples. Before you start please check the trigger and content warnings!

This book follows Brinley after she moves back to her home town to restart her life after she breaks up with her rich and proper boyfriend. She bumps into her childhood best friend, who happens to be getting married that weekend, to a member of the local MC. She meets the club president, Wolfe, the intimidating, grumpy, hunk of a man who doesn’t do love, or any feelings for that matter. She witness something she shouldn’t and her whole life is about to change.

- Age Gap
- Duel POV
- Good girl x bad boy
- Morally Grey MMC
- Dark MC Romance
- SOOO SPICY
- Obsessive
- Forced Proximity

Their connection was just PERFECT, and watching them grow together, physically and emotionally was such an amazing read.

Gabriel Wolfe. I don’t know what I was expecting but this man was not it, and in a good way. And he has tattoos everywhere = in love, he has piercings… IYKYK = in love. He was OBSESSED with Brinley and I was here for it! He has his past and getting to see that in the book was such a good touch. His protectiveness for her was UNMATCHED. He thought he knew what feeling he wanted and need, but she bought out new ones for him, changed his whole world. He learns that there is so much more to life than what he believes and she brings that with her.

Speaking of her, Brinley Beaumont is the definition of good girl turned badass, and again, in such a good way! Our little hummingbird. The strength she gained as she grew as a character was sooooo good. I loved how her confidence grew throughout the book, and her determination to be the best version of herself, for herself. Her smart mouth was perfect, iykyk hehe. I was obsessed with how Gabriel helped her realise who she really is and helped her grow to who she really deserved to be.

The plot of this book was one I haven’t read before and I was obsessed! I so thought I wouldn’t like it as much as I did and I’m sooo going back for more. Im so glad Paisley is making this into a series, I need more MC romances. The story line was such a good one it just kept me hooked the whole time.

The spice in this book! I have read some very spicy books but this one…. This one tops them all. For all the women out there that like morally grey MC presidents, please for the love of god, read this book. I was also just as obsessed with the side characters as I was with the main ones. We can’t forget about Layla, Ax, Kai, and everyone else!

So with that I hope to see you all at the HOH clubhouse!

“𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬.”

After reading Paisley’s cowboy romances and enjoying those, seeing she had a motorcycle club romance… well I obviously had to read this. I’m a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy and this book gave off those vibes for sure. I do like my books with a little more plot instead of smut, but hey, if you like a lot of spice then this one is a 100% for you!

the vibes ™:
- age gap
- motorclub
- spice.. lots of it
- dark themes so do check the trigger warnings

Woooowww is it hot in here?

Paisley Hope is a firm … if she writes it I will read it author for me now, so was excited to jump straight into this!

A step towards a darker romance, than her others books I’ve read, which isn’t always what I gravitate towards but this felt like a perfect balance for me! Motorcycle club romance, which felt like stepping right back into my Sons of Anarchy days and I loved it! It’s dark (with the right amount of HEA), spicy and dangerous, but doesn’t take itself too seriously, with a side of but is he a really a bad guy if he’s doing good work 👀.

The MMC Wolfe is possessive and obsessive, which is what I want from a dark romance read, with a good girl who wants a taste of the darker side with FMC Brinley. This sets up for some spicyyyy scenes 🔥🔥throughout. There is some plot woven through there though, which as I said does feel like a classic MC romance, fast paced and intense.

A great read, one I’d recommend if you want to dip your toe into abit of dark romance, miss the Sons of Anarchy days or just love a Paisley Hope read!

Thanks to NetGalley, Paisley Hope and Random Corner House of this ARC.

Thank you to Netgalley.com for providing me with an ARC of this title.

This was my first motorcycle club romance and it was a fun time! It was dark, spicy and the MMC Gabriel Wolfe was possessive & obsessed with the FMC Brinley from the moment he set eyes on her.

I couldn't fully connect with Brinley & Gabriel, something felt off? Maybe too much lust & not much else? They were both a bit bland. I did enjoy the way in which he let her embrace her darker side though & was supportive in her finding her physical & mental strength.

The spice was 🔥🔥

The plot was ok but it wasn't very gripping. The spice is the main plot point. Her nickname gave me the ick! Im not a fan of nicknames! It wasn't a serious book so go into it if you just want a spicy, fun time!

What a ride! 🔥
WOLF.E was my first read by Paisley Hope – and let’s just say: I’ve officially entered my binge era.
I want everything she’s written. Immediately. 🥰

Gabriel and Brinley were just next level. The chemistry between them? Off the charts. From the very first moment, you could feel that electric mix of tension, raw attraction, and something deeper simmering underneath. Gabriel and his dark, broody, overprotective energy? Total heart-thief. And Brinley? Sharp as a knife, fierce, and with a heart that doesn’t quit – definitely no damsel in distress, more like a queen with fangs 😏

I completely lost myself in this world. It pulled me in and didn’t let go. And Brinley’s growth? I loved every moment of it. Watching her evolve, step into her power, and still keep that emotional core? Just everything.

And the spice?
Not from this world. Seriously. We’re talking heat levels that melt the pages.🔥

I honestly loved this book. 🥰
If I had to say anything at all, it’s that I personally would’ve loved just a bit more emotional depth in some moments – but that’s really just personal taste. So honestly?
I have zero real complaints.

To be honest-
Where is my Gabriel?!
Dark, broody, protective, and hotter than sin 🔥

All my love goes out to this book!
I need more. Immediately.
Paisley Hope, you have me hooked.

Really enjoyed another book by paisley hope.
Loved the storyline, plot twist, and the HEA.
Can’t wait for the next book in the series to fine out what the mc club gets up to.
A excellent bad boy-good girl read.

Uummmm - what to say...

I've read the three Silver Hope Ranch books by Paisley Hope - loved them, lots of super hot spicey spice but not dark.

This is a step into the dark romance side of the genre, and it's appealing - the brooding bad boy MC pres and his band of merry men, good, the degrading, blood play, knife play, was a little too much for me - no judgements, people are into it, you do you boo but it was a bit much.

The plot felt lost in between the pages, and pages, and pages of spicey scenes. I ended up scrolling past the back and forth of their dalliance's to get to the next part of the plot as there was just so much graphic description.

However, it was well written, the characters were appealing and it was exciting and quick to read.

Wow. This is packed with violence and sex and packs a real punch. The opening of the book is hard hitting with torture and graphic imagery. The book then settles a little, although doesn't drop the violence, to a more solid footing of relationship exploring. Gabriel is all solid sexiness with Brinley quieter and more good girl. The coming together is pretty explosive and the plot does weave in and out of the more mundane day to day, to the violence on the streets and the threats the gang faces and then to the alone time between the couple as they work out if there is anything between them apart from burning heat. This is a read it in one go and then take a big breath at the end kind of book!

4.5🌟 2.5🌶️

Gabriel Wolfe is the current book boyfriend to beat. Starts off pitch black, turns morally grey as you read through the book, and turns into a perfectly toasted smore (hard and crunchy exterior, soft and sweet inside).

This is the Sons of anarchy book I've been wanting, if I didn't need to adult I'm sure I'd have binge read this book in one sitting!
The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because I saw the "twist" coming from very early on.

I read this book because of the hype it was getting on the internet. It’s my first from Paisley Hope and it was spicy as all hell. I’m still a newbie at the dark romance arena and maybe that’s why a didn’t give all 5 stars for this one.

I didn’t connect to Brinley and Wolfe as much as I’d hoped (and others did) for some reason. Maybe this will change when I listen to the audiobook as a reread for when the second book is published.

Brinley’s and Wolfes backstories are kind of black and white. Wolfe being a former Marine than turned president of a Motorcycle Club and Brinley is pure and innocent as a white gown. I fell in love with Brinley as the story went on and she evolved to a feisty, badass woman (she saves him!!!). I give it to Wolfe that he brought it out of her. Wolfe is doing his best for the community hence he doesn’t like the other Motorcycle Clubs in town.

I can’t wait for the next book of this series and the cover is hands down gorgeous!
