Tripwire
She risked her life to save his. Now he can’t let her go…
Tripwire
I’m untethered.
Alone.
Nomad.
It’s necessary as I hunt down a dangerous enemy of my MC, nothing but the wind in my face and my bike underneath me. No one else will suffer on my watch—none except those who deserve it.
But one afternoon changes everything, and if it wasn’t for the sinfully beautiful siren paddling toward me on a surfboard, I’d be lost to a watery grave.
On dry land, my mission takes a back seat to my fascination with the girl who’s got saltwater in her veins.
I need her to trust me if this is going to work.
But if I can’t take out the threat, trusting me might be the last thing she does…
Marina
It was a no-brainer diving into the ocean to save a drowning biker.
If only I’d known how that one act would turn my life upside down.
See, it turns out that the gorgeous man is reckless, too.
He’s trouble with a capital T.
Everything girls are warned to avoid.
But I can’t seem to walk away. Not when he’s a mystery I’m desperate to solve.
What chased him off that cliff?
And if I hand him my heart, will there be anything left when he’s finished with me?

These books contain violence and descriptions of illicit activities. If you enjoy sexy anti-heroes, fast-paced and action-packed storylines, and steamy love scenes, then these are the books for you. There are guaranteed HEAs or HFN for each couple at the end of each book, but the underlying storyline does continue from book to book and they end in cliffhangers .

Short, spicy and over too soon!
Ok if you've read the other books related to this novella you know this wrapped up super fast! I mean the story, the characters, the Insta love and sexy scenes were great! However the ending was essentially a one night stand ...hit it and done!! Whamp whaw! 😞 easily could have been a solid three or 3.5 read had the ending not been rushed as it is 2.75 stars from me✌

Have you ever read a book that caused a physical reaction? Cathleen and Frank do that! Every emotion is in there, in all books from these authors. Fear, anxious, happy, silly, sad, angry, lol and wtf moments. Yes, even the naughty ones. Read them, you'll see.

Saved by a siren
What better way to be rescued but by a siren when you are drowning. Another great read by this fabulous duo.

I really enjoyed this book, I liked Trip in the other books, and I'm happy he got a story. Can't wait for more.

📖Genre & Tropes📖 : romance biker x novella x suspensish plot x ex military hero x spicy
Une petite romance entre un biker nomade et une plongeuse californienne !
Une petite déception pour cette romance là qui avait beaucoup de potentiel mais j’aurais préféré un tome entier parce que j’ai trouvé leur relation et l’histoire trop rapides et pas assez développés … J’ai pas trop eu le temps de m’attacher aux personnages ><
Bref, une romance sympa mais trop courte !

A short romance between a nomadic biker and a Californian diver !
I was a bit disappointed by this romance; it had a lot of potential, but I would have preferred a full-length novel because I felt their relationship and the story moved too fast and weren't developed enough ... I didn't really have time to get attached to the characters ><
In short, a nice romance, but too short !

The Vikings MC: Tripwire
I think Frank Jensen and Cathleen Cole write the best MC books. The Vikings Tucson is like a saga, and i fell in Love with the whole group of MC members and their old ladies. Tripwire was ran off the road into the ocean, but he thinks he was saved by a Siren.

My new favorite FMC!
Trip and Siren were so adorable!!! I absolutely loved that we got to see what happened to Trip and the closure we got on their mission!! I hope Drew’s story is coming soon, the SF chapter sounds like it has some fun and lovable members!

Cute read, just a little too short. It ended a bit abruptly and I would have liked just one more chapter in this novella. You could feel Trip and Marina’s instant connection, but didn’t get to see it grow.

And the story continues
I've enjoyed every hot moment of these books I'll be sad when I get to the last one maybe more Viking MC chapters will evolve. One can only hope.

It was a quick but eventful read. I love the series they came from so already knew Trip and Drew. Worth the read.
