US Marshal Marco Dellburn faces new and difficult challenges in this tenth exciting installment of the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series. His relationship with motorbike gang Born Evil leader, Sam Channing, undergoes huge changes as Marco grapples with a secret, and potentially fatal, prescription drug addiction. Unable to cope with his increasing dependence on pain medication stemming from the attempt on his life, Marco fears losing his job. Worse, he worries that Sam, who suspects Marco's addiction, will leave him. Nothing seems to work on the intense pain from his lingering injury and Marco curses what he believes to be his own weakness.
Add to that, Sam agrees to go undercover for the US Marshals in a drug sting operation in Colombia, South America that may finally take down the Carter Family cartel once and for all…

A.J. Llewellyn believes that love is a song best sung out loud.
2.5 Stars Quick read, some interesting things happen, so do some stupid ones. There's a lot going on and I'm not sure about the ending. And yet I can't stop reading the series...
This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Marco and Sam are still struggling with their feelings for each other, being on opposite sides of the law doesn't help in the least but staying away from each other is something neither man can do. Marco is still struggling with his injury from the ambush and is becoming dependent on pain meds, Sam finds himself under the thumb of an unscrupulous U.S. Marshal who will sacrifice anything to shut down the Howards and both Sam and Marco find themselves in danger when someone from Sam's gang decides they want Sam gone.
This is a great addition to the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series but we don't get to see Jubilee or Kieran :-(. We are now on our third couple in the series after seeing two other sets of U.S. Marshals find their happy relationships but this is the most difficult relationship yet. Sam is the leader of a biker gang who is unhappy with his lot, Marco is the one that got away and is making a life for himself as a U.S. Marshal, their attraction and feelings for each other make their positions hard and Sam finds himself working for the Marshal's to bring down a cartel.
We see Sam and Marco admit their feelings for each other but they still can't really be together. Sam has little choice in his actions but tries to make them work for him and Marco has to fight his jealousy, his need for Sam and his constant pain to carry on with his job. Marco finds himself in danger with Sam riding to the rescue and Sam discovers he is tied to a mysterious man who is more involved in the cartels than the US Marshals realize. With investigations and undercover ops their way of life, for the US Marshals hospital visits are to be expected but two of them end up in hospital for unexpected reasons.
Now while I have loved reading the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series I found this one to be less exciting than the others, there was less separate investigations and it was more focused on the Howard's and the cartel. We do see a little diversion with Sam's gang but that was really about it other than the baby nearer to the end of the story, but, I suppose I have just been spoilt with the interesting array of investigations in the past. The story flows smoothly and Marco and Sam are still mega hot, their sex life is still smoking and their imaginations are descriptive and hot.
I recommend this to those who love U.S. Marshals, hot bikers, great investigations, excitement and action, danger and rescues and an ending that gives us hope for the future.
I could not wait to read more about Sam and Marco and this book only made their story better (my fav couple) ...holy hell it's full of mystery, laughs (secret farts) and sexy as hell. I loved how the writer described Marco's pain and his addiction to pain meds, it felt real, I felt for Marco the tough as nails US Marshal who can't stand the pain anymore. Sam oh Sam hot as hell and so in love with Marco he can't think straight but when he and Marco get into hot water time and time again he proves his loyalty to Marco. I love their love for each other, it's so real and they work hard at it (their love is never comes easy). A lot of action...love these characters, I wish I had Trace and Pauline looking after me. Loved this book, can't wait for another one...I want more Sam and Marco...Love Sam's comment about boobies! Lmao....5 huge stars
I like very much the Marco's character and the juxtaposition between the good marshal and the bad gang leader, light and dark, pleasure and pain; duality all in the two main protagonist Sam and Marco. And the fact that nor Marco neither Sam can be apart, because the love that their feel go beyond of law of good and evil. Also I liked the rhythm of writing,the sequence of actions and I have appreciated the expedient at the end of the book when all is saw through the Marco's point of view.
