Missoula Bad Boys #2
Snake
She crashed into my life, electrifying the man. Then the viper in me decided to make her mine.
Damaged marine, survivor, bad boy, angry man. I'd left Missoula to serve my country, returning from the ashes a different man. Bitter, injured and incapable of resuming my life, visions of my ordeal consume my thoughts.
After refusing physical therapy, Chasity Garrington decided I was her next mission. Determined to make me whole, she refuses to accept my excuses, the girl made of fire and brimstone. Our attraction is instant, desire impossible to ignore, and with each session it becomes clear she hungers for a dominating man.
She'll be sore from my belt, wet from our passion. Then she'll scream out my name, begging for more. But when I learn she has a stalker, a former marine determined to take her away, the predator in me strikes. My position is clear. No one touches the woman who salvaged my heart.
Dragging her into my damaged world is dangerous.
But that doesn't matter.
Chasity Garrington already belongs to me.
Publisher's Note: Snake is the second book in the Missoula Bad Boys series but can be read as a stand alone. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

I have read several of Piper Stone’s books in the past, and had enjoyed the read. But this one is just one of those books whose characters stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. It is so full of angst, pain, but ultimately a rebirth for both Snake and Chasity. They are two souls that are so damaged by what life has dealt them, each trying to survive as best they can. Their meeting was the catalyst for the slaying of their demons, and as a couple they are so hot my kindle is still on fire. Fantastic storytelling.

This is book 2 in the Missoula Bad boys series and is Snakes story aka Corporal Garcia.
Another addictive listen by Piper Stone with all the signature plot twists,angst,steam and intensity that Piper always brings to her stories.
Snake is ex Military and suffered a great deal when he served in the Marines,being captured and tortured.Now he is a man on the edge ,suffering from PTSD and leading a solitary life,he doesn't know what to do now he no longer is a Marine.The only thing he tolerates in his life is his dog Apollo,he wasn't expecting a woman to come crashing into his world changing his life forever.
Chastity also has a traumatic past that still haunts her and she still has a fear that she could still be in danger.She is now a physiotherapist and her client is Snake the one man nobody wants as a patient because he is angry and mean and refuses help...Chastity is determined to help him no matter how much he will try to push her away.So she decides to invade his space,if he wasn't going to come to the hospital for his appointments then Chastity will go to his home and make him except her help.
Snake is not happy he is grumpy,angry and deep down in despair he wasn't going to allow a beautiful woman to order him about,making him feel things and want things he never had before.
There is an instant attraction between them and they are immediately breaking rules to be together. Even though they seem to dislike eachother the chemistry they share is so powerful they just can't stop it.
Falling for one another was not in the plan but they are 2 lost damaged souls and their pain calls to one another..It seems like its only one another that can heal eachothers broken parts...But what they didn't see coming was Chastity's past which would threaten to destroy the new found relationship that they were both getting used to.
Piper Stone has written another spicy action packed story,but not only that this book was a little bit emotional too..I found myself really moved and upset at certain events in the book.
Skylar Morgan Narrates this book and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance,as he flawlessly portrays all the characters in this story.He is excellent.
Snake is a really captivating listen and I loved it.
Brilliant!!

Snake (Corporal Garcia) had suffered greatly during his time as a Marine in Afghanistan. He was captured while he was held prisoner his team tried to rescue him without success. He was tortured, burned, dogtags changed with another prisoner, and other unspeakable things. When he was finally rescued, he had no memory, and the marine wearing his dogtags did not survive. It took them months to discover who Snake really was sending home a far more angry bitter man than left. He had joined the military hoping it would help channel his anger. He saw psychiatrist, until he was sick of them, and he needed physical therapy on his leg for an injury before it put his in a wheelchair, but he was to stubborn to go which brought nurse, Chastity Garrington to his door. She was a trained physical therapist that served as a nurse in Afghanistan seeing action. When her medical unit was bombed, and she was also shot. She had another tragedy in her background that helped her relate to how he was feeling, but he did not need to know about it. She believed that every veteran deserved the best care possible so she was there to see he got it. All Snake really saw was how beautiful, she was, and what he wanted to do with her. Honestly, she was thinking the same thing, but she managed to stay professional exchanging barbs back and forth with him. He finally relented to completing a session, but before she left he padded her, they slept together. He did agree for his next session to be in the office. Snake had staked his claim on her, but she had strange things starting to happen that lead back to her past. When she had been kidnapped and held prisoner, but that man was in prison. The suspense was terrifying, with more than one mystery, intrigue, lots of action, romance, and a happily ever after. Two people with terrible tragedies in their past come together finding a form of comfort to heal the old wounds from the past allowing them to move forward. A beautifully written story that will keep you on the edge of your chair waiting to see what happens next.

This book was intoxicating. An enemies-to-lovers romance with dangerous elements
thrown into the mix to amp up the feelings of anticipation. I could not put this book
down, and it's a great addition to this series by Ms. Stone. The sex scenes could melt
an iceberg. This couple surprised me. They went from hating the sight of each other
to being unable to keep their hands off each other. Trauma had left both of them
damaged, and nightmares plagued their sleep. It's hard to imagine how they
managed to survive
I loved how Chasity never gave up on Snake. She liked to push his buttons but did not always like the punishments she earned. She was strong despite the rough times she found herself in. She came out the other side, unwilling to relinquish or let go of Snake. She was determined not to let the monster of the past ruin her future.
Snake was rude, bad-tempered, and poised to strike. He was an enigma, and I enjoyed getting inside his head. He initially resisted all of Chasity’s offers of help, but she was able to chip away breaking through his thick skull. He was super protective, and always put her safety before his own. He was determined to have the one woman who managed to touch his soul. I thought he was going to be a one-dimensional character, but he surprised me when he found a way to harness his emotions and deal with his demons.
What an action-packed read full of angst, danger, despair, fragile emotions, damaged souls and sizzling sec scenes.

It threw me off a little because some of the characters in this book were so familiar to me. Especially seeing as how this was only the 2nd book in the series. I realized that some of the characters were from the Montana Bad Boys series.
Snake and Chastity's relationship started of extremely aggressively. There was so much anger. Yet, there was still that chemistry or something that drew them together. It was if they fed off of one another's trauma.
In spite of that, the book started of a little slowly for me. It picked up later when more of Chastity's secret started to reveal itself. There were spankings and dub con occurrences, so if that offends you, take a pass on this book.
For everything Snake and Chastity went through, it served to stabilize them emotionally and pull them from their dark places. The book felt differently once Snake accepted Chastity as part of his life. Even if he didn't believe it was a "future" situation.
There was some danger and suspense before they reached that HEA. I wish there had been more of the Chastity story, or Snake had more returning memories. I think that would have balanced out some of the heat and made this book more interesting to me.

Two broken souls that find peace in
each other.
Snake is the second book in the Missoula Bad Boys series. While it's part of a series it can be read as a standalone. It follows Corporal Ricardo Garcia (Snake) and Chasity Garrington RN/Physical Therapist.
I was honestly thrown by their first encounter. There was no build-up or anticipation between them. He was angry, controlling ,uncooperative and agressive he started the moment he met her he took, said and did what he wanted even when she protested. He risked her professionally, emotionally and mentally. While she attempted initially to stop him she soon gave in to what he was doing and enjoyed it even when her subconscious was yelling at her that it was wrong.
Now with that being said once you learn more of his/her background some of it makes sense. They're definitely drawn to each other physically and emotionally especially since they've both lived through a traumatic past. It's as if their broken souls are drawn to each other. I don't want to give to much away so I'll sum up by saying their story will pull you in, make you feel their emotions from pain, to heartbreak, fears, passion, and love.
Their story won't be easy to forget.

Part of the Missoula Bad Boys each can be read as a standalone with a broken military man and the women that makes him whole without out trying. Snake sexy as all get out military hero who walked away from a life of peace, a girl of his dreams to serve his country never realizing he would return the same man as he left in fact he is broken physically, mentally and the one he left behind is his saving grace. Chasity feisty, sassy, hasn’t had an easy life, full of dislike for the man that walked away from her and now that he is back so are all the feelings. She hasn’t changed in wanting to push all of his buttons and he hasn’t change in the need to make her pay for pushing is buttons neither realizes they need the other to accept, deal with all the craziness they have been through. Snake was her strength, she was his will to live despite his rudeness, his temper, his mood swings and his continued need to push her away she never gave up. He was her safety net and he was her protector but can they put the past in the past, can they heal one another, and can they find the peace, the happiness they want so badly?.

Riveting continuation to the series, characters are fantastic and the storyline will hold you riveted
From the very start of reading this book I was held captive to the intrigue and the need to discover what the final outcome was going to be, I have to be honest and say that it was a one read book.
Once I started reading I was unable to put it down so had a day when not much got done and a late night finishing off the end of the book.
The characters Chastity and Snake are so alive and so vibrant and some of the things they are involved with are so broken that you actually feel their pain and yet there are occasions when there seems to be a degree of understanding and care, it has everything within its pages.
You will love reading this book I guarantee it…
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

This book should come with a special warning. 'It will tear you apart'
Snake our title character, returns from active service as a Marine with PTSD, injuries and bitterness in his heart.
Into his life bowls Chastity, herself a damaged soul (no spoilers here) and the angst and anger begin. Piper Stone, not only knows exactly how to 'draw' a character but she has that ephemeral ability to make you root for them and care about the outcome.
There are triggers here but nothing that alarmed me (jaded as I am!)
It took me a little while to truly fall for this and I wondered if I could cope with 2 so completely damaged characters in search of redemption in an unlikely place. Each other. Hence the 4 stars, which may seem unfair but it took longer than a few pages to really grab me, but that's subjective of course.
However, this is, without a doubt, just really good writing with a tangible plot and makes you vow to never forget those that serve their country and sacrifice so much for stepping up to the plate and doing so.

“Snake” is the second book in the ‘Missoula Bad Boys’ series Piper Stone. It’s the story of two people who are struggling with serious issues, and who find solace and peace in one another.
I don’t want to give away too much about the story because the author gradually reveals the pasts of the main characters, and that discovery process is an important part of the book. Snake is the call sign of a Marine who suffered greatly during what became his final deployment. Ever since, he’s been fighting to survive the physical and mental trauma that resulted. Chasity suffered horrific physical and mental trauma of her own and fights her own daily battle to keep moving forward. Neither has any clue that when she’s assigned as his physical therapist, both of their lives are about change.
This is a very emotional story, and the ending was very rewarding. It also has intense physical scenes, and you should take the trigger warnings seriously. There are some good secondary characters, including crossovers from another series by this author. However, it can be read as a standalone.

Man this book is so amazing good it’s hard to describe but I’ll from enemies to lovers theme and the crazy sparks the two main characters have from the first time they met. The hotness flows off each page alongside with so much laughter from how hardheaded these two are! Plus the sassyness come on it’s so hard not fall out of my chair reading this book! I love how strong will the woman is in this book that even though she been through so much she is determine to be strong and help others however she can. And another crazy hot stubborn has as a goat protecting guy who thinks he doesn’t need any help, but can’t stop the pull he feels turns the sassy nurse. I think what I love the most in this book is how the dog is and acts even he as his own sassy and tells people in his own way what he thinks no what is going on! There is a lot of mystery, unpredictable all the way through this book with a happy ending I just wish there was more In the last chapter! Im loving this series and wait for more to come! :).

This novel has been long-awaited by Ms. Stone's fans, and it was well worth the wait! Snake is broken, in pain, and has no desire to make any changes. When his physical therapist, Chasity, shows up at his house, uninvited, he is shocked and then angry. Assertive and bossy, Chasity matches him growl for growl, and he knows she's something else. Before long, the two broken and scarred souls come together, and it's a thing of beauty. A happily ever after is the prize at the end of the book.
Piper Stone has written some of my favorite books, and this one immediately shot to the top of the list. Snake is as dark and gruff as his Missoula buddies, but somehow something sets him apart. His story was worth the wait. Chasity is the perfect woman for him, as she is just as determined as he is, and is his match in every way. This is absolutely a one click book, and not to be missed.

I absolutely loved Snake & Chasity.
This touches on some very sensitive & traumatic experiences, trauma, and PTSD, and it is so well written, to the point every emotion going through them hit my heart.
I'm extremely happy I was able to review this book, a second publication by this author for me, and I know I plan to read their entire backlist, cause it is delicious and suspenseful, thrilling, and has the right amount of spice, which doesn't erase from the main plot.
It is one of my favourite reads this year, although I can't say if I love this one more, or King of Pain, because both were incredible.

This touches on some very sensitive & traumatic experiences, trauma, and PTSD, and it is so well written, to the point every emotion going through them hit my heart.
I'm extremely happy I was able to review this book, a second publication by this author for me, and I know I plan to read their entire backlist, cause it is delicious and suspenseful, thrilling, and has the right amount of spice, which doesn't erase from the main plot.
It is one of my favourite reads this year, although I can't say if I love this one more, or King of Pain, because both were incredible.

Absolutely loved Snake and Chasity’s story! I could not stop reading! Both Chasity and Snake have a lot of dangerous dark pasts that shattered them both. Snake is rough around the edges and refuses to give up on Snake when others have. Chasity is so strong and independent and knows what the dark and dangerous past can do. The chemistry between the two is astronomical.
By finding each other I think they heal each other.
From beginning to the very end this book was a page turner for sure. Lots of rollercoaster of emotions and feels. Piper Stone brings the heat with Chasity and Snakes romance. I absolutely loved this story! A must read!.

Snake: A Rough Romance by Piper Stone is book two in the Missoula Bad Boys series.
This book is a stand alone romance that is told in both POVs and has a HEA.
Corporal Ricardo Garcia, also known as Snake, was in the Marines when he was seriously injured and eventually returned home a hero. He is angry, bitter and just an all around grumpy man.
Chastity Garrington is a licensed registered nurse with a degree in physical therapy and she has made it her mission to help Snake get better.
These two both have painful pasts that they need to work through and hopefully they help heal each other.
These two characters were great, the story was a rollercoaster of emotions and a great overall read. I recommend this book.

I make it a point to read or listen to as many of Piper Stone’s books as I can as I always enjoyed them. I usually find that it's the audio versions that leave the biggest impact but this book's characters were such that I kept thinking about them long after I'd finished reading their story.
As I've come to expect from Piper this story is somewhat dark, full of angst, pain, passion, heat as well as palpable chemistry between Snake and Chasity. Two damaged souls coming together to forge an unexpected future.

This story is so full of emotions that at times I felt like I could feel what they were experiencing. The writing is intense and very descriptive. Chasity and Snake both have demons that still haunt but I love how the author brought these two hurt souls together to save each other. This is an explosive story, both emotionally and s@xually, and one that I would highly recommend reading. I feel as if there might be triggers that could cause bad memories for some people, especially war veterans. That being said, I loved the Chasity and Snake.

Opposites Attract
Where do I even begin with this one?
The chemistry between Chasity and Snake is evident within the book's first chapter, so you know right off the bat that we are in for a steamy and bumpy ride.
What I loved most was Chasity's no-nonsense attitude with Snake. Even as she battled her own demons (they both were), she never gave up on him. This story will keep you turning the pages as you get drawn further and further into their stories. Lots of shared trauma, tons of drama, heart-wrenching emotions, and steam. And romance!

A fantastic 5 star read with pure emotion
Piper Stone takes the reader on a truly emotional rollercoaster ride of emotions with Snake & Chasity. Their story is not all sunshine & roses which I think is what makes for such a brilliant read. She's a physical therapist & he's an injured veteran that doesn't want to do his PT. She will not take any of his BS & as much as he dishes it out she gives it back ten fold. When he learns an evil from her past has come back, what lengths will he go to to protect her?.

I'm a fan of Piper Stone and have been waiting for Snake's story for awhile now. Ms. Stone did not disappoint me. I loved it. Snake has some horrible demons living inside him and it's going to take someone special to reach him. Enter Chasity. I loved her from the start. She's a take charge kind of girl when it comes to helping people but she has her own demons. Can these two handle all the demons and still stay together? I loved how she didn't give up on him even when it seems like he has given up on himself. I loved every page of this book!!!

Chasity loves her job as a physical therapist helping Vets get back on their feet, literally. So when she agrees to handle a tough case she had bo idewhat she signed up for. Snake likes being alone. He is surly and gruff and doesn't know what to make of Chasity when she barges in barking orders at him. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable. Will the events of her past rip her feom him? Will he let his nightmares become his reality?
This is a great addition to the series. I loved the story.

Being the offspring of two Marines myself I can tell you that any Marine feels the loss and pain of those that have sacrificed themselves for country, freedom, and honor. This was a well written conclusion to the Montana Bad Boys series even though it's part of Missoula Bad Boys. Snake has traveled a long and winding road, and to get back on his feet he had to deal with Chasity, which he handled with flying colors.

One go the best female leads...ever! Chasity, a physical therapist, is determined to help Snake, whether he wants that help or not. Snake left the military bitter, damaged, and angry. Chastity and Snake both went through their own challenges while in the military during deployments and she understands his PTSD more than he realizes. This book has sizzle, steam, drama, twists, turns, and redemption. Loved this read!!.

I love the the storyline and the characters of Snake and Chasity. Snake comes back from the service physically and mentally traumatized. Chasity is a Physical Therapist nurse who is bound and determined to help Snake recover. Chasity also has scars from her past that hound her. This is an insta love, suspense, and steamy story that you can't put down. This was a wonderful story and I highly recommend it. A must read.

Oh my goodness! This one is intense. Snake is a Veteran and he's been through some heavy stuff; a lot of stuff. He's suffering from some serious PTSD and has withdrawn from the world. Chastity is a Physical Therapist who's not willing to let him slip quietly into the dark. She's also had to deal with horrors, and her strength and determination melted my heart. The connection between them is beautiful and their story will give you all the feels. It's suspenseful, steamy, action-packed, and dramatic, and the ending is pure perfection.
