  If he kissed her, she was kneeing him in the nuts.
  
  This was an interesting start to a new series. I liked how Trip was building his fathers old and imploded MC back from nothing. But the romance was a bit underwhelming due to the massive amounts of internal dialogue. There was so much baggage between the two that I got bored reading about the same stuff over and over, and started skimming looking for actual dialogue and interactions between the two that would build their relationship.
  
  There’s a lot of push/pull here, it’s annoying but unfortunately also understandable. Trip is a bulldozer. Stella is a broken woman. She had a small amount of grit but was crumbling under the weight of devastating loss. So he steamrolls her again and again until he wears her down. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some nice moments throughout but Trip is a bit of an alpha-arsehole who doesn’t explain himself for a lot of this.
  
  This series continues with other characters. I’ll probably continue on with it at some point because there’s a few interesting secondary characters who have a lot of old hurts having the MC resurrected brings to the fore. In the end I liked Stella and Trip, just not the repetitive filler.

  “What’s mine? If you take it all, what’s left for me?”
  Without even the slightest hesitation, he said, “Me, baby. You got me. You can have all of me.”

  I don’t read a lot of MC books because I don’t like some of the ins and outs of MC life. But something about the way this author delivers a story sucks me in, each and every time.
  
  What a great first book to start a series, I loved Trip I loved that he has a clear picture of what he wants and what he doesn’t. He isn’t willing to budge on it.
  
  Stella I think surprised him, don’t think he thought he would fall the way he did. Nor she for him it was fun to listen to. I very much think he is helping her heal and that is special, because that kind of loss that kind of pain needs to be released. It will never be forgotten but released and heals yes.
  
  Can’t wait to listen to more of this series!
  Please tell me we get more of the hairstylist and his boyfriend, because that was an awesome scene I want more.
  
  Very much enjoyed the narration, I am a huge fan of Ava she is fantastic and J.F. was a perfect Trip!

  This is not your usual MC book. Instead Trip is resurrecting an old club, but wanting to make it better. Get rid of all the things that made it implode in the first place, to have it be about family and brotherhood, while still being legal. What makes it more interesting is he's doing this with the "kids" like himself that grew up in the old "bad" club. The amount of skepticism is huge. They all remember the bad and it was really bad at the end. Trip slowly wins them over, including the girl who said she was going to marry him at 11, that he hurt due to being stupid. I think they all have a rough road ahead of them, but it will be fun to see them succeed on all levels.

  Firstly, I loved this book. Trip has decided to resurrect his father's old MC. This is going to be a daunting task because there's a lot of bad blood and bitter memories for many. After seeing the brotherhood/family that the Dirty Angels MC has he wants to build something just as strong. I admire Trip for having the determination to come back and rebuild something that was so broken it shattered families and friendships. One thing Trip didn't plan on was falling for Stella. As the daughter of an Original, Stella was born into the lifestyle and would make the perfect Ol Lady. Only Stella doesn't want to have anything to do with the bad boy biker who stomped on her heart twenty years ago. Can Trip make her see he wants something real with her? Will he be able to get the MC to flourish and mend the mistakes of the past? You'll have to read it to find out! Another amazing series and I can't wait to get all the stories! 💙

  This book was way too slow on the uptake. This may be because it’s the first book in a new series, but by 38%, I just found I didn’t like any of the characters. Trip and Stella’s first sexual connection was disturbing, and opened the door to a rocky relationship ahead. I wasn’t really interested in the destined dysfunction developing. Also,I, particularly, detested Trip’s brother, Sig, and after their reunification scene, I gave up on the book. Sig is beyond redemption, and I was disgusted by him, entirely. When Trip left the invitation open for him to enter the MC club, he was rebuilding, I stopped reading. I just couldn’t relate to the characters, and had no interest in their stories unfolding.

  Damn near perfect. It’s a whole new series, a new MC, rising out of the ashes, shiny but messed up new characters, new town and new problems. I loved this book and so loved Trip and Stella. They are magical puzzle pieces that fit together and compliment each other perfectly, if only Stella will give it a chance. It’s a bit like a second chance novel and you know these two are meant to be together. They are both so damaged though. And Stella has a heartbreaking past. I can’t think of anything more terrible, actually. It’s horrible and tragic and I was rooting for her all the way. I wanted Trip to step up and be her Man and boy, does he ever. I love a hero who knows who he wants and won’t give up on his perfect woman. He is swoon-worthy. He’s also trying to build up a disbanded and disgraced MC from scratch, pretty much solely by pure grit and determination. He has his work cut out for him all with the help of some secondary characters that, I hope, will get their own books. This is the author’s best work yet - buy this book!
  
  Yes, I read an Arc, bur this is an auto by for me.

  So, if that's what I've got to look forward to with this new series then I definitely want more. This book was everything I could ask for in a book. The Hero was swoon-worthy but the heroine didn't make it easy for him. But she had her reasons and they were valid. 5 stars

  Resurrecting the past and hoping for a brighter future puts Trip back in time. When his father was the head of the Blood Fury MC it was destroyed because of greed, illegal activities and dissension in the ranks. It is up to Trip to not only make the Blood Fury an MC to be proud of but to also give those who were born into the MC a chance to have something of there very own while at the same time bringing Stella back into the folds. But Stella wants no part of the MC - she just wants Trip in her bed. Can Trip get it all? Can he be the President his father should have been? With a brand new series Jeanne St. James once again proves that she is the queen of the MC. Wonderful characters that have numerous layers, a storyline that has strength and grit and the beginnings of a new era that I cannot wait to read more of makes this a fabulous read.

  Absolutely Fantastic!! I needed to get that out!
  This is the start of a new MC Series and I couldn’t love it more.
  Blood Fury MC is being resurrected. Trip is bound and determined to get it up and going, making it better than before. He does not want the past to repeat itself. He has a lot of struggles and opposition but he is determined!
  One struggle he wasn’t counting on is Stella! She was the girl that used to follow him around when he was a teenager. He wasn’t expecting her when he showed up in Manning Grove.
  Trip and Stella are dynamic and so strong. You feel their strength, pain and frustrations while living their story.
  Watching the club come together, the renewed hope of the old and new members is powerful.
  Meeting all of the members in Trip’s book makes me so excited for the rest of this series.
  Phenomenal read. Great world building and the characters will grab you and not let go.

  This book surprised me in how much I liked it considering all the side plot of Trip talking men into coming on board with his idea. He didn't start of with a best friend or anyone else to help him with his dream. Just him and his ideals. I hope he can make them work long term.
  
  The other thing that surprised me was how much like a real man it felt like Trip thought. A lot of these books are just a tad too PC with the inner monologue and I liked that this one was way less so and seem more legit in that regard even if it did catch me off guard a time or too.
  
  I'm looking forward to the next story in the series.
  
  Also, Adam Bryson and Teddy show up in this book.... what book are they from? I don't see them in the list of Boys in Blue series books.

  Fresh start of an MC
  
  Started slow but finished strong . This is the first in a new series and we get to literally see Trip build the MC from the beginning . This part was a bit slow finding new members , renovating, building businesses ect . He also meets Stella who he knew growing up in his father’s MC . I loved how he took care of Stella. They both have dark past but help one another move forward . I still had a lot of questions about them when their story ended so I’m not sure how that will pan out . Will we find out more about them in Sig’s book? It’s a good start and I’m excited to see what this new series brings!

  What a start to a new MC series and I can't wait to read about other characters from the Blood Fury MC! The plot was so well created and the characters were strongly developed that I was hooked from the very first page! Stella and Trip kept me totally invested in their story as different emotions emerged and their HOT chemistry ignited! I absolutely loved this couple and I adored Teddy, what a character! I highly recommend reading this book!

  2.9 stars.
  Ugh. This was not it.
  Trip was just so pushy, and Stella was so into pushing him away.
  I just really didn’t like their relationship.
  It was just too much back and forth.
  
  And then the resistance just breaks at the end, and Stella just accepts that as her life now…nah.
  
  The plot was meh.
  The relationship was more than meh.
  The scene where we meet Sig was concerning and in no way shape or form made me want to read a single word about that vile man..
  And the sex was hot but not hot enough to make up for everything else.
  🤷🏻‍♀️
  I swear I read this before and I remember it Way differently.

  I cannot stand a wavering h. The "I don't want him but he's super hot and he wants me so maybe I'll let him in my pants but I don't want him" drama through out the whole book was exhausting.
  H was being a typical biker. All Alpha and Neanderthal like. Same old same old.

  First book by his author. Liked it but not a fan of all the push and pull stuff. Hope the next one doesn't have that.

  This was just decent. The plot? Decent. The characters? Decent. Just decent. I won’t even remember this book next week.

  Here We Go Again!!
  
  What I hate about Jeanne St James, she makes me invest in her characters.
  What I LURVE about Jeanne St James, she makes me want to invest in her characters.
  She breathes life into each one, making me want to jump onto their world and not sit on the sidelines!
  
  This new series is no different! I'm already anticipating Sig and Judge as well as the other array of characters of Blood Fury.
  
  It's a fine line between love and hate, yet Jeanne (my Queen) straddles it perfectly.
  
  Now go read the damn book people!

  This was a unique MC read and I loved every moment. I was so happy to see Trip rise up and try to right some serious wrongs.

  Trip was one heck of a way to start a new series about blood fury mc that is being resurrected from having nothing left to hopefully an amazing mc club and wow Did Jeanne give this book her all. The writing was amazing and there was so much information to take in but it keeps you hooked line and sinker because I fell I love with trip and Stella. You couldn’t have made a better match then these two. Both Trip and Stella grow up in the club but when things went south and the club split there lives all took a different path fast forward 20 years and here is trip walking into crazy Pete’s bar and there is Stella. If you wanna see what happens next well I guess you should get to reading because this is one book you don’t wanna skip 100 stars still don’t seem like enough.

  A fabulous start to a new series
  
  This book isn’t quite your typical MC read. It’s more like the beginning of redemption and hope for so much more than what crashed and burned decades ago. And as much as I enjoyed the DAMC series by this author, I think I might end up liking this one just as much, if not more. I can’t wait to see how Sig finds his way next.

  4.5 star review of Blood & Bones: Trip (Blood Fury MC #1) by Jeanne St James
  
  Audio Review
  
  I was excited when I learnt that Jeanne St James had a new MC series releasing. I loved Blood & Bones: Trip from the first chapter to the last. Trip is back in Manning Grove and is determined to bring life back to the Blood Fury MC which is father, as president destroyed. Seeking out former members, he comes across Stella that daughter of one of the Blood fury originals, Pete.
  The performance by Ava Lucas and J.F.Harding was spot on and they most certainly did justice to the story. I loved how protective Trip was of Stella and when he learns of her tagic past, I fell a little bit more in love with him.
  This was a rare, gritty, at times emotional story that got to me.The chemistry and passion between them is intense and the banter between them witty as they navigate the push and pull of their relationship. Both Ava Lucas and J.F. Harding brought all that to life for me with their performances.
  I am excited to see what Ms. St James has in store for this series.

  Absolutely loved Trip and Stella. They have both gone through the ringer in life and have had to deal with things people shouldn't have to deal with... They are afraid to let anyone into their lives because of everything that has happened to them up until now. I look forward to continuing this series!

  Blood & Bones: Trip is book one in the new Blood & Bones: Fury MC by Jeanne St. James. As I haven’t read the previous series by this author, I was kind of going in blind but felt that it didn’t matter as these were completely new characters and there was enough of a backstory to let me know what was going on. The story focuses on Trip and Stella. Trip is the son of the former President of the Blood Fury MC and is trying to resurrect the club that his dad ultimately destroyed. After trying to turn his life around he heads back to where it all began, stumbling across Stella, a former MC child and owner of the local bar in Manning Grove…the place where it all began.
  
  The story is a build up of Trip and Stella building a relationship and Trip building his MC and getting people on his side. What I really liked about Trip was that he was rough and knew he had anger issues and was unapologetic about how he saw his life and what he had done. There were some serious moments between not only himself and Stella but also his brother when they all try and come to terms with the past.
  
  Stella was an instant like character for me. She had endured so much and even though she was at the end of her rope, she just kept going. She tells Trip exactly what she thinks, and we see her struggle with becoming part of the MC again, especially when it had caused so many issues in the past.
  
  As this was book one, I felt like you were just getting a feel for what the MC is going to look like as well as getting introduced to the characters (who all have a book I hope). It will be interesting to see how the story and MC develop, especially as they make their intentions known in a town that has a long memory. Overall, though, I really liked reading about Trip and Stella, two characters that know their own mind and are trying to navigate a new relationship which has a lot of skeletons in the closet.
  
  There are a lot of sexy scenes in this book as well as some heart-breaking moments, but this MC is strong, and I can tell it’s going to be a new favourite series for me.

  I didn't think it was possible that I could love something more than the Dirty Angels. I was wrong. This series started out pretty much perfect. I knew when I started this that it would take a bit more to fall in love with it because unlike the Dirty Angels, the Blood Fury MC would be starting from scratch so there would need to be the details of how that came to be.
  
  This first book was the foundation of a great start of an MC. Slowly, the groundwork was formed and the names of the men that most likely will get their own books in order to tell their story and expand the series. I liked the details that went in to creating this. From the descriptions of the clubhouse, to the characters themselves. I haven't seen this approach before in regards to MC and I have to say that I liked it. I am not sure I would have liked it as much if it wasn't this author that had done it. I say this because this author has a talent for creating MC stories, so I know what she is capable of doing.
  
  I enjoyed getting to know Trip in the other series but I really liked what he stood for in this one. Stella was perfect too. their connection went back a long way and I liked watching it grow. What kept this from being perfect is that I wanted more from them. There was so much focus on setting the foundation that it lost a little of this being their story too. This disheartens me a little because I don't want them to be shorted on getting their story when the other characters get their own books in which the focus is on their stories being told.
  
  If you are a fan of MC then this is book and this author should be included. She is one of a select few that I have her releases scheduled in as soon as they are announced because I never want to miss out.

  5 Blood Fury Stars
  
  Blood & Bones: Trip is the first book in the Blood & Bones: Blood Fury MC by Jeanne St. James. Trip is an ex-marine who has just been released from prison and found out his grandfather has left his farm and everything he had to him in his Will. Determined to resurrect his father’s MC he starts putting his plan to play.  There's a lot of bad blood and bitter memories for many who are old enough to remember the originals but he is determined to have everything above board and legal. 
  
  This woman was going to be his ol’ lady, his goddamn queen. She was going to stand next to him while he rebuilt what the past destroyed.
  
  The last thing he needs is to run into Stella, a blast from his past. A love sick puppy who followed him around when they were younger. Stella is trying to keep her head above water, she inherited her father’s pub but she also got his debt as well and is struggling to keep the bar open. This is all she has left and she is not going to fail... but maybe she is if she doesn't get help and the last time Stella will do is ask Trip for help.
  
  “What’s mine? If you take it all, what’s left for me?” Without even the slightest hesitation, he said, “Me, baby. You got me. You can have all of me.”
  
  This was a gut wrenching, heart-breaking but such a fantastic read. I loved every minute of it and I loved seeing everything come together for Trip right from the beginning. The secondary character’s where great and as always done so well by St. James. I highly recommend this book!

  Blood & Bones: Trip
  Blood Fury MC, Book 1
  By: Jeanne St. James
  Narrated by: Ava Lucas, J. F. Harding
  
  Jeanne St James has a way of pulling me into her MC worlds and nothing else around me matters. I become involved in the story and can't stop listening. This is her first book in the new Blood Fury MC series and I am sold. Trip is determined to rebuild the Blood Fury MC back up from the mess his father left. Bad reputations, memories and tragedies all have left this to be a huge undertaking for a club of one member. Now to resurrect some of the members, start new legitimate businesses and rebuilding their reputation. Stella owns the bar, and Trip is ready to have the club work with together with her again. Resistance is met, but an overwhelming chemistry is there. Does Trip need to take on a woman as well as the club? What a start! Love Trip. He is a determined man in every sense of the word. Stella is feisty and stubborn, and I love her little bit of vulnerability. Meeting new/old members is exciting and I just can't wait to see where St James takes us as the club takes root. I am in for the long haul!
  
  St James always picks the best narrators for her books. I think she hears their voices as she writes because they are always a perfect fit! Ava Lucas is Stella, and is absolutely spot on! Spirited, passionate, strong willed, she has all the nuances to make us love and understand Stella. JF Harding as Trip could not have been better cast. He has that command in his voice, letting us know just who Trip is and the determination is evident. Love these two together, they make a fabulous team!
