Review: Vex (The Devil's Angels MC Series Book 4) by Lola Wright

Vex by Lola Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vex’s HEA

This book can be read as a standalone, but understanding the characters and storylines in the previous books will enhance your enjoyment.

***CAUTION WARNING: if reading about traumatic childbirth incidents trigger difficult emotions for you, avoiding this book may be advisable.***

Vex is the playboy of the club. He’s gorgeous and most women and some men drool when he enters the room. So no one, especially him, thinks that he’ll ever settle down with one woman. We learn a few unexpected things about Vex and his past in this book, which I always enjoy. It’s fun to learn about the previously supporting characters when they get their chance to stand in the spotlight.

Taja has just buried her mother, who has been sick since Taja was 8 years old. Despite her mother being wonderful, loving and supportive, being sick meant she couldn’t do as much as she would like so Taja took on some of the responsibilities of looking after her baby sister early on. This was necessary because as soon as her mother got sick her father emptied the accounts and left. He’s the president of a 1%er MC and has no morals.

Now 22-years-old Taja is one semester away from getting her nursing degree but has to put that to one side to get a full time job in a strip club working as a bar tender. It’s the same club that Vex works as a bouncer at. The first time Vex sees Taja he’s smitten, but tries to stay away from her for her own good. He fails in his efforts but in the meantime they become friends.

This is a story of a sweet relationship that started in a slightly unpredictable way. As well as Vex and Taja being in the relationship, there is also Tessie, Taja’s teenage sister who is part of the family. This adds another unusual twist and the relationship between Vex and Tessie is really lovely to watch develop.

Taja is reluctant to become involved with the club further than working for them, but they all slowly draw her and Tessie in with their warmth and wackiness. They need that support when their Dad comes back into the picture and causes problems.

Taja and Tessie get put through the mill during the course of this book, but Vex and the rest of the MC stand beside them every step of the way, from the moment they come under their wing.

The plot for this book isn’t complicated but it does have some subtlety and it is nuanced in places. There is some peril and violence, which is to be expected with an MC book, but it’s not particularly graphic or dark. The characters are all interesting, but I wish the flipping parrot wasn’t portrayed as being as intelligent as a child holding conversations with it’s parents, it’s disturbing.

Other than the parrot, I do really like this series and I’m glad other books will be forthcoming.
