I loved this book. The Joker was everything you need next in this series. He is perfectly neurotic and unhinged and I loved it. The FMC was a tad naive but I loved the two of them together. They brought the best and worst in each other. Also, the backstory was both riveting and sad at the same time. My poor man had to go through too much in his life. The spice was also HOT. My only dilemma was that there wasn’t more spice!

When the world shows you how cold, calculating, and cruel it can be trust it because that is how life goes especially for those who grew up like the soldiers in Briton Manor did. These group of guys have no mercy for those who are cruel or cowardly. They have no patience for those who do horrible wrongs or even for those whose wrongs may be a small infraction. They each bring something different to the table and make up this great dynamic that is a force to be reckoned with and as each story is unfolded wee see deeper than the masks that this cruel world has allowed them to wear for so long and none of them has perfected the mask in place as well as Colton King their very own Joker. For Colton life looks like it’s a breeze, that nothing phases him, and it’s all joke. What most won’t see is the other side of that mask where in his own twisted way he is Robin Hood of sorts that wants to right the wrongs done by those who destroyed his and other’s life. This Joker may have the laughs and the fear that he inflects in others, but he also has a heart of gold that you see when he does anything for all those he loves. When fate brings into his life the spitfire that is Shelley, he knows his perfectly crafted world and mask will never be the same. As these two cross paths and end up working side by side you wonder if they will end up annoying each other to death or burn with the heat and passion that brews between them. Shelley was a tough one that could put up with Colton and his antics while also giving it right back at him. With their banter the thing that makes everyone smile to Colton this drives his need to have her always up with an intensity. I knew before going into the Joker’s story that he would be the one to steal my heart and don’t get me wrong all our boys have their spots their but Colton’s heart and easy façade he displays really gripped me. Shelley, I did love even if times I found her tenacious stubbornness irritating. I did love that she would hold her own against Colton, yet when time again he kept showing her that heart of his she kept shoving him away while cutting him down which was cruel in an already cruel world. Overall, this group of guys are amazing and will do anything to protect their own and The Joker will steal the spotlight as always while in the background lending a hand to someone who needs it while also bashing some heads that may deserve it when it’s necessary. “We all wear masks in our lives, something we can hide behind that helps us cope and protects us from the harsh realities of life.”

What can I say without giving anything away??? That this book needs to be more than five stars, if only we could. I loved Colton when I first met him. But reading his story, I love him even more. Also what can I say about Shelley is I love her even more too. She was kicka** These two are so perfect for each other. This is a must read and might be one of my favorites

Colton the perfect Joker.
Shelly the perfect Batman.
Both full of dark souls, troubled by their past, righting the wrongs of their past.
Beautifully made for each other. The Ying and Yang.
The banter back and forth between Colton and Shelly was deliciously entertaining for me. Sparring verbal insults trying to best each other.
Loved this series and Colton was perfection!
Even the Joker can have a soft side, maybe?

Absolutely ADORED these characters and the story! I started on this one so looks like I'll be going backwards with the soldiers ♥️ Thankfully you can read in any order and not get spoilers

The Joker by Nikki J Summers is a enemies-to-lovers vigilante romance. This is the third book in The Soldiers of Anarchy series.
I absolutely love Nikki's books! She does an amazing job pulling you into the story and making you feel the characters emotions. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Colton and Shelley. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I would recommend this book if you like new adult romances, vigilante romances, enemies-to-lovers romances, contemporary romance, or romantic suspense.

What a ride
This is book 3 in the series and I knew the beginning would be rough, my heart felt for Colton I knew he was going to be one you can relate to in unfortunate ways and the way he essentially protected himself but the growth he discovers in this book has me sobbing with pride! For both the main characters, shelly isn't one to let her guard down or be messed with but when you find someone who sees you all bets are off. I loved this story, their hatred and love for one another through out their story is unreal. And that hate makes for the best spice! This series just keeps getting better.
