Stone Riders MC #3
Where We Promise
In a tangled mess of betrayal and chaos, I was moved almost overnight onto rival territory under the protection of the one man I never wanted to be a burden to.
Jameson King.
In order to keep me safe, he handed me a ring and told me I’d become his wife. It’s a marriage made of convenience, but there’s a thread of truth neither of us want to examine. The past we’re ignoring, the almost we could have had if our lives were different.
If I hadn’t chosen wrong.
I keep trying to convince myself it doesn’t matter, not when we hold hands, or sleep in the same bed. Because Jameson has always held me at arms length, and my ex is coming for me…we’re just biding our time before this all comes to a messy end.
This is where we promise to hold, to honor and cherish…but what are vows made from lies?
Jameson will stay long enough to ensure I’m safe, and then he’ll let me go, just like he always did before.

Stop I’m so obsessed with this book I could scream! The pining, the angst! Where We Promise is a small town, MC, marriage of convenience romance with touch her and die energy and the heroine is pregnant but it’s not the hero’s baby! I’ve loved every book in this series and I swear they keep getting better, this book was EVERYTHING and I never wanted to put it down!
This book does deal with pregnancy, but it’s not surprise or secret, the heroine was already pregnant in book 2 in the series. Penelope and Jameson first meet when they’re 13, she recently moved with her mom and they become a part of The Chaos Kings MC, which his father is the president of. Jameson and Penelope have an instant pull towards one another but soo much gets in their way for years, including themselves. The angst in this was reallllll and I was thriving!
We get present day chapters and flashback chapters to seeing them throughout the years and I was equally obsessed with both timelines! Penelope’s life is complicated to say the least, she is staying with the Stone Riders MC, pregnant with the Chaos Kings vice prez’s baby (who wants nothing to do with her), pining for the Chaos Kings prez, and about to enter into a marriage of convenience with him to protect her and her baby’s life! 👀 Jameson is the kind of hero who wants better for the heroine so he has tried to stay away for years, but now he isn’t messing around and is ready to finally claim her!
Obsessed with everything and have so many highlights of this read! The President Wife’s patches, how he notices everything about her, when some of his men question him marrying her since she’s carrying a “traitor’s baby” he immediately shuts them down and claims both her and the baby as his, her friendship with Natty, Harris being the ultimate teddy bear bodyguard (when he puts on the baby carrier stoppppp), touch her and die moments for real 👀, the possessiveness, the “my wife” and “mine” moments! Ahhh so good.
“It’s always been you, Jameson. Always in the back of my mind at night, in my chest, expanding with my lungs in the morning, when the sun would warm the earth. You were always in my dreams when I thought of forever. However long you give me, I will happily accept.”
“Don’t know what all we need to clarify in this relationship, Pen, but this...” He stroked me gently. “This right here isn’t complicated…it’s mine. No one else gets to touch you while you’re my wife.”

SO MUCH PINING!!! Ugh in the beginning I was living for their dynamic. They've danced around each other since they were preteens when the heroine moved into town, but the hero never made a move, so she dates his best friend and gets pregnant. But he's a horrible guy, so the hero offers to marry her to protect her. They have obvious feelings, but the heroine keeps reminding herself it's not real because the hero has pushed her away their whole lives. The angst was great and I loved seeing so much of the previous characters in the series. I do think the flashbacks got a bit to clunky near the end with the pacing, but I just loved these two and how they finally found their way to each other. This is such a good MC series and I'm so in love with every book in it so far!!

Truth be told I had conflicting emotions starting this book; equally anticipating a new installment in what's come to me a favorite series of mine and also dreading it because I wasn't sure this trope would hit for me. I am not a fan of a baby with another character trope. I love the single parent trope, but something about the baby with another character who's still very much in the picture just never worked for me. That is, until this book.
One word of advice is that you definitely want to read this series in order. Because while each character has their own standalone romance per book, there is very much an overarching story arc throughout each book that you would appreciate much more reading in order. We get a good peak into Jameson and Penny's story in Where We Belong as secondary characters and they absolutely stole my heart with their own story.
Penelope has been in love with Jameson for as long as she's known him. He went from the alluring teenage boy to strong and brooding man, but in all of those forms, he's never given her the time of day. He struggles with his own emotions and so he pulls hot and cold, until Penelope finally has enough and gives up on any hope of anything with him.
But when her boyfriend and Jameson's former club VP throws her out when he learns she's pregnant, she's left with nothing but tatters of her former life. And Jameson is determined to help her and protect her from his old club. Best way to do that? A marriage in paper only so she has his protection. The problem? He's been secretly in love with Penelope as long as she has, but he's been fighting his feelings just as long. Until he is not able to and gives into the fiery chemistry between them.
Admittedly, at first I struggled to understand why Jamie was so adamant to push Penny away when they were young. But the more I read and the more layers that were peeled back, the more I understood the heart of this man. And oh my god, he was everything. The way he loves fiercely and protects fearlessly. This book packed an absolute punch in emotion and good dash of grit that just hit the spot so right.
I devoured this book in a sitting and couldn't believe that a trope I once hated, I loved oh so much in this story. And the set up for the next book? OH.MY.GOD. The desperate level of need I have for that story is unreal!

He’d given me the world today, only to remind me it was manufactured and on loan. One day he’d belong to someone else, and I would simply be a fulfilled promise, checked off a list.

I’ve enjoyed the Stone Riders series so far and was excited to read Jameson and Penelope’s story. Sadly this is my least favorite.
What took away focus from the love story was the lack of communication between Jameson and Penelope. For my part it overshadowed it all and it made me not believe in their love which was disappointing. Their fake marriage and the lack of communication also made Penelope repeat “it’s only fake” constantly throughout the story. Whenever and whatever Jameson did or say Penelope had that response to him. Jameson is president for The Chaos Kings MC but in my opinion didn’t act like one. Not when it came to his club or with Penelope. I’m disappointed in his character and expected more.
The other characters from the previous books and the Natty/Silas bread crumbs were so good and I’m excited for their story.
So even though this didn’t live up to my expectations I’ll definitely continue.
Bring on Natty and Silas.

Where We Promise is the 3rd book to the Stone Riders MC series. I am obsessed with this series and the books keep getting better and better. I absolutely adored both Jameson and Penelope and was so excited for their book. The pining and angst was so freakin good! I loved the past and present, Ashley really is the Queen of writing past and present timelines!!! I can’t wait for Silas and Natty’s book.

DNF 80% — I truly could not care less about what happens to a single character in this book and I have been dragging my feet to finish it for a few weeks, so I am done. Why would I want to read about a girl who is so deperate for a man that has never stood up, that she ditches her entire life to enter back into a MC world she didn’t like? And why do I care to read about a man who has not a single brave or bold bone in his body and is willing to watch the lohl get mistreated when he knows all she wants is him??
Nahhhh
Nahhhh

Jamie and Pen were everything they were hyped up to be from previous books. Their chemistry. I love books where the MMC steps up and Jamie was perfect. This one had typical angst Ashley is known for. What Miles did horrible. Never carried. I loved Jamie's parents. I'm so glad I did this on audio, it definitely enhanced the experience.

Me gusta esta serie, pero este libro no me cerró.
Me gustaron los flashbacks y la historia sobre como se conocieron. También al principio todo lo que Jamie hizo por ella. Pero... Jamie es un nabo, todo lo que pasa es su culpa y ni siquiera se entienden bien sus motivos.
Lo de Luke... no me cerró. No tiene sentido que sea de una forma y después totalmente lo opuesto. Ni hablar de la "resolución".Jamie lo mismo, pasa de buen chico a psicópata sin explicación.
Para el final todo se pone muy turbio entre Penelope y Jamie.
Tampoco me gusta cuando aparecen los momentos "cenicienta " en los que el la deslumbra con cosas materiales o lujos. Odio eso en el romance.
Definitivamente no fue para mi.
Aunque me gustaron ciertas partes y la serie completa es buena.
Digamos que hasta un 60% del libro lo disfrute mucho, después cuesta abajo.
Apuesto por que el 4to libro suba la vara.

I LOVE THIS SERIES. I’m a sucker for a pregnancy trope and this was so good. I also love a shy, quiet, but possessive MMC and Jameson was everything. I teared up multiple times in this book…obsessed

I read this is one sitting- I have become obsessed with these characters and this world. I legit CAN'T WAIT for Silas and Natty and am wondering if there will be more characters we haven't met yet (pretty please Ashley continue this series!!). But let's discuss this tragic love story that turned into an HEA. The angst and longing in this book was palpable. It was gut wrenching to read the past chapters with Pen and Jamie with the miscommunication and miscues and the too scared to say what he felt. UGH BUT I held out hope because I knew we would get what we wanted- an HEA with them married.
Read this if you want:
- childhood friend to lovers
- she's pregnant but it's not his
- marriage of convenience turns into more
- it's always been her
- touch her and die vibes
- second chance when there wasn't a first
I didn't know I needed this book until we got the peek at the end of Where We Belong. I was like hold the phone what is the back story with Pen and Jamie and then Ashley delivered and here we are. Jameson King is the heir apparent for the Chaos Kings. Luke Holloway is his heir VP. Their dad's got their "old ladies" pregnant at the same time so they have grown up together. Their dynamic was very interesting. It's like they tolerated each other but didn't like each other. They would be there for each other in a dier situation but that's it. Then Penelope shows up at the club when they are all about to start high school. Jamie doesn't know how to act- he gets shy and finds himself pulled into her orbit but of course Luke immediately starts flirting with her. So instead of fighting for her and going after it Jamie backs off. They circle each other for YEARS and oh my gosh those were so hard to read. How much they clearly cared for each other but Jamie held her at arms length.
Fast forward to today and everything has changed. Pen is now pregnant with Luke's baby. She finally moved on from her crush of Jamie because he made it clear he didn't want her that way. Luke has flipped a switch- he doesn't want the baby. He doesn't want Pen anymore. So she has no choice but to run and who does she end up being saved by- Jamie. The same Jamie who she somehow always feels an invisible string towards but it is unrequited or so she thinks. Now he proposes that they get married in order for her to be protected. But she has to keep reminding herself it isn't real. The vows he just told her though they are everything she ever wanted to hear aren't real- right? The way he looks at her in public and now private is just a means to an end right? But then Jamie starts talking about the future and the lines get blurred. She can't help but speak the words she has always wanted to say to him. She just hopes that he is finally ready to either let her go or hold on tight because she doesn't want to go anywhere anymore.
Favorite things
- Their letters to each
- The kept raven
- Calling her his wife and the baby his son
I would highly recommend this series if you haven't picked it up already! There is angst. There is steam and SPICE. Mr. King's mouth was straight up dirty. There is suspense and action. I haven't read an MC novel/series before, but I have found myself really liking these morally grey characters. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!!

I love all of the MMCs in this series and Jameson was no exception.
All of these couples histories are so heart wrenching.

Too much miscommunication not enough action. I really enjoyed this book and did absolutely love parts of this but I felt like it was missing something. I didn’t get the same angsty chokehold feeling that I got with book one and two. I wanted Jameson to be more forward and act more like the president of his club. Instead he seemed checked out most of the time, had no idea what was happening with the club and constantly going back and forth on why he loved Pen but didn’t act on it but will now but then backed out but then decided to go for it. I wanted him to be more of a leader.
Super excited for Natty & Silas book next with that ending tho 😮💨👏🏼

It is no secret that I love Ashley. I have been a huge fan of hers for quite some time and I had zero issues sliding into her DMs and forcing her to be my friend! ;) But when I tell you that she just keeps getting better and better, I mean it with my entire soul.
This book....the way that I was waiting for this book....literally on pins and needles. I dropped everything as soon as it hit my kindle and DEVOURED it. There are very few stories with the trope "Pregnant but the baby isn't his" but I freakin love it. And this one was absolutely perfect. The way that we get flashbacks from both Penny and Jamies' POV and how we learn of their history and love for each other. Ashley took "Right person, wrong time" and really ran with it. My heart hurt for them so many times. They fought HARD for their HEA and it was stunning to watch it unfold. I just love them so much.
And that ending....oooof....hanging on by the tippy tops of my fingernails!
So, if you need me, I'll just be lovingly remembering Jamie and Penny and impatiently waiting for Silas and Natty.
And to Ashley, bravo my friend. You absolutely crushed this.

Ashley really is the master of writing past and present timelines! I have been anxiously waiting for this book and it did not disappoint. The Stone Riders series is probably going to be one of my top series when it’s all said and done.
I’m not typically a reader of the “she’s pregnant but it’s not his” trope, but man the angst and heartache it added to the story. WHEW! This was one of those “it’s always been you” stories and it broke my heart but put it back together and those are my favorite stories.
While this could technically be read as a standalone I don’t recommend it. I recommend reading the entire series in order for the full effect. And man she really did leave us gasping and on the edge for Silas and Natty’s story. I just know she’s gonna continue to hit it out of the park!
P.S. Can we talk about Harris?! What a sweet, sweet “pseudo father” to these girls and the way he watches out for them. Protect this man at all costs!!

Super angsty
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: second chance
Angst: 😱😱😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥1\2
I think I've come to the conclusion that Ashley Munoz's books are just not for me. They are just too unnecessarily angsty for me. But at this point I am super invested in all of these characters and will likely finish the series. The stories are well written and relatively fast paced, but have too many flashbacks for me as well. If you're a fan of high angst books, this may be the series for you.

I love this book! An angsty, emotional, sexy and dramatic, almost-second-chance MC romance with a pregnant heroine, a badass, soft-hearted, and all the feels. Jameson and Penelope’s story had me hooked from the very start, and it was everything I was hoping for!
This is the third book in the Stone Riders MC series. Though each story is about a different couple, I don’t consider these standalone books. There has been some build-up to this book, and a lot has gone on in the previous two books that continues in this one. To fully appreciate the complexity of the world, I would definitely recommend reading these books in order.
Jameson is the President of the Chaos Kings MC, but his club is in disarray after a bitter betrayal and attempted coup. In the desperation, the only thing Jameson wanted was to protect his childhood friend, Penelope. She is pregnant with the baby of his Vice President, but has been brutally rejected and left to fend for herself, and Jameson is pulling out all the stops to look out for her. Not only has he set her up in a safe house with the Stone Riders, but in order to truly protect her, they need to get married.
Jameson and Penelope have a complicated past. They met as teenagers in the club – Jameson was the son of the President, and Penelope was the daughter of an old lady. There were feelings there from the very start, and though Jameson always looked out for Penelope and they became close friends, they just couldn’t get it together to act on their attraction.
Their past is told in flashback chapters, and it’s an angsty series of missed chances and broken hearts, but it creates an emotional situation for them in the present where they are both secretly in love with the other, but too afraid to act on it or speak it out loud because there’s so much hurt and confusion from their past.
And then they get married, complicating everything even further as they fake a relationship, living together in a small house, while Penelope is pregnant with another man’s baby. Every moment sizzles with tension, and I was feeling every look, every touch, and every sweet moment. They’re both battling their feelings and their mad lust, and they’re losing.
It’s a fantastic set-up for Jameson and Penelope’s story, and I was feeling everything right along with them. Though it’s awkward, you can see how much they care for each other, and Jameson’s protectiveness and sweet nature is so, so beautiful to see as he does everything he can to provide for Penelope in every way. Of course it eventually leads to wildly passionate sexy time, undeniable feelings and heartfelt declarations, and though it’s a bumpy ride, I loved watching them figure it all out.
At the same time, there’s drama happening with Jameson’s club, and it’s spilling over to the Stone Riders, and another club, the Death Raiders. Events from previous books continue to unfold, and there is danger and intrigue, which add to the story, making everything more intense. We see lots of the characters from previous books, which I loved, and the stage is set for Death Raiders President, Silas, and Natty’s story to finish off the series. And after all of that build-up, and the massive ending to this one, I cannot wait for their book!
This is such a beautiful story, and a fantastic addition to the series. I loved Jameson and Penelope so much, both strong but quiet, and after a tumultuous start, they’re finally ready to fight for what they want, and I loved every moment of watching them find their happiness. The pregnancy/baby storyline is so well done (big, bad biker, little tiny baby… *dreamy sigh*), and is just the cherry on the top of this gorgeous story.
I loved it so much – 5 stars.

“I don’t belong there.”
His thumb traced my bottom lip. “You do. You’re the only thing there that feels like home.”
Their past is told in flashback chapters, and it’s an angsty series of missed chances and broken hearts, but it creates an emotional situation for them in the present where they are both secretly in love with the other, but too afraid to act on it or speak it out loud because there’s so much hurt and confusion from their past.
“I know the idea of being married to me doesn’t hold that much appear, but it’s only temporary.”
“Stop it—” I snapped, “don’t act like I wouldn’t be honored to have you as my husband, Jameson. That was never our issue, and you know it.”
And then they get married, complicating everything even further as they fake a relationship, living together in a small house, while Penelope is pregnant with another man’s baby. Every moment sizzles with tension, and I was feeling every look, every touch, and every sweet moment. They’re both battling their feelings and their mad lust, and they’re losing.
We broke apart, and his eyes clung to mine as if he felt it too.
This wasn’t fake, and whether he agreed to it or not, I’d claim a piece of him by the end of this. Some part of that gave me hope. If I could finally find a way inside his heart, then maybe he’d let me stay there.
It’s a fantastic set-up for Jameson and Penelope’s story, and I was feeling everything right along with them.

“It’s always been you, Jameson … You were always in my dreams when I thought of forever.”
“You’re mine, Penny. For fucking ever.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Luke & Jamie grew up in the MC together and when Penelope shows up with her mom, Luke jumps right in to claim her. Jamie has feelings but doesn’t fight for her. and the then and now chapters held so much hurt and love. Fast forward to today and Pen is pregnant with Luke’s baby but he doesn’t want it. It’s proposed that they get married to protect her and the baby… the feelings from are undeniable. The letters, the raven, the “my wife” moments and claiming the baby as HIS. 🫠
Small Town• Marriage of convenience• Pregnant heroine (not his) •It's always been you • touch her and ☠️ • second chance
I’m SO freaking excited for WWE in a couple weeks. Killian and WWB are my favorite, but I’m scared that SILAS might take that spot. I just have a feeling…

I really enjoyed this entry into the Stone Riders MC world! I've been anxiously awaiting this couple and it did not disappoint! Gritty, swoony, emotionally rich, and wonderfully addictive. I can not get enough of this epic series, the magical characters, and this wonderful world created by Ashley Munoz!
Faith Clark was pitch perfect casting, and I loved her narration of Faith Clark as Penelope. She captured both her fire as well as the beauty of her soul and her vulnerability. I like Nick Mondelli as a narrator in general, but his voice didn't really fit my perception of how I imagined Silas' voice- it was almost too soft for me- I expected a bit more gnarly,gritty. But I did enjoy his performance from an emotive standpoint.
I really ADORE this series, and the chemistry between these characters combined with their past make for such an emotionally rich and compelling story. Jameson's alpha protectiveness is ULTRA swoony- not to mention sexy AF. And I loved how he pursued Penelope. I love the push pull between them, the flashbacks that give us deeper context for the layers of their dynamic, and there is definitely plenty of angst! Add in some MC danger and suspense - and this is a total page turner and so far my favorite in the series!

Where We Promise is the third book in Ashley Munoz’s Stone Riders MC series. She gives us the story of Jameson and Penelope.
🩶MC romance
🩶Childhood friends to lovers
🩶Small town romance
🩶Pregnancy – but not his baby!
🩶Marriage of convenience
🩶Protective, alpha MMC
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️
Angst level: 💔💔
When Penelope finds herself pregnant, alone, and essentially banished from the MC club where her now ex-boyfriend is the vice president, the president Jameson takes it upon himself to remove her from the situation and keep her safe. The dynamic in the club has taken a turn for the worse, so Jamie essentially dismantles it when he leaves and takes some of his loyal men from the Chaos Rides over to the Stone Riders to keep them all safe.
Penelope has been in love with Jameson for most of her life, and by dating Luke, that was her way of moving on. But now that she is in this situation and alone with Jameson is the sole person responsible of her safety, things start to get muddied between them.
The line that they both once placed between them keeps getting more and more blurry. Especially now that Jameson proposes marriage in order to keep her completely safe with his patch. How will they be able to keep their feelings and attraction under control now?
The relationship between Pen and Jamis is one of extreme longing and love. These two should have gotten together years ago, but their insecurities and fears kept them a part. But now they are given a second chance to have that love together and the author gives us a beautiful love story. I loved how it was a slower burn to get them where they ended up, especially with all of the hurts that they were both carrying.
This book was so much more than a romance to me – found family and trust played huge parts in this book. In theory, two, let alone three, motorcycle clubs should not be working together, but in this one we see Wes, Killian, Jameson, and Silas work together for the greater good and to protect their women.
The ending of this book had my heart RACING!! We are perfectly set up for Silas and Natty’s book and let me tell y’all. I CAN NOT WAIT.

[Where We Promise]
The longing and the ANGSTTTTTT in this book ya'll. These two wanted each other SO BAD but everything kept getting in the way. I absolutely devoured this book and didn't want it to end!
"𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯, 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵."
My heart was so broken for Penelope. In the previous books, we found out she was traded from one MC to the Stone Riders for her safety after becoming pregnant with the MC's Vice President. The VP decided he didn't want to be a father and left her and was turning the club against her. I was so excited for her book and couldn't wait for her to get her HEA.

Jamie - Pen's ex's brother and the one she's been pining for since she was a teenager - swoops in and I absolutely loved their dynamic. They both want each other so badly but fight it so hard. The "my wife" moments were drool worthy and I love how Jamie handles her pregnancy and child. I absolutely LOVED this book.

This book was narrated by Nick Mondelli and Faith Clark. They did such a fantastic job narrating. I really loved the way that Faith read Pen's portions of the book. She was the perfect match for her calm personality. Nick was also a fantastic Jamie. Some of his voices for side characters were a little distracting but there were very few instances of that. Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook SO much!

Pls hold as I recover from being absolutely ruined by this book. Holy cow.
Jameson and Penelope have been childhood lovers since the beginning… but it seemed to be always right person, wrong time for them. Penelope ends up pregnant by the ex-VP of the Chaos Kings, who also was part of their friend group at one point, but things changed and now Luke is a traitor and is dangerous to her. Jameson takes her to the rival club, the Stone Riders, to keep her safe but that might not be enough… so he marries her.
I really loved the dual POV of this and seeing them and their relationship throughout the years. There was so much heartache but also so much love. I am so in love with Jameson and the way he steps up for Pen and her son.
The suspense aspect to this one had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and when the spice hits… it hits… I will be taking the next 5-7 business days to recover from these two and thinking about how badly I need Silas and Natty’s book LOL
Tropes
-she’s pregnant, it’s not his
-motorcycle club
-“it’s always been you”
-touch her and literally die
-forced proximity
-marriage of convenience

This series is my new obsession. All thanks to my girl Julia. Thank you for yelling at me to read these books because I’m a changed woman. I’ll forever be searching for a motorcycle club with Wes, Killian and Jamie 😂
This book 😭 all the feels. WWP is about Jamie and Penelope. They met when they were 13 and were instantly drawn to one another. Jamie pretty much fell in love with her at first sight. However, his friend Luke also caught feelings for her which made him take a step back. Jamie’s always been protective of Penelope, especially when she was in a relationship with someone. They had a night of vulnerability together where Jamie was her first kiss, but it was never anything more than that. Penelope eventually moved away which left Jamie heart broken. He had recently been appointed as the president of his motorcycle club (at age 19). He wanted to reach out to Pen, but always felt like he would be a burden. Penelope ended up moving back home and started to date Luke. Jamie refused to watch from the sidelines, so he did his best to avoid them at all costs. Eventually, Penelope ends up pregnant with Luke’s child. But Luke becomes violent, angry, and unfaithful. This leads Jamie to protective mode and moves her into safety where she is in good hands.. and lucky for them, it’s in Jamies proximity.
Their feelings for each other have never faded away, so this sudden change has them needing to be vulnerable. However, there has been recent danger at the club, and members are not being respectful to Penelope since she has announced her pregnancy. In order for a woman to feel 100% safe, she would need to be called by a member of the club, and who better to claim her than Jamie. Only he’s not only claiming her as his.. his claiming her as his wife. Because now they’re married.

This series has been so fun and Jameson & Penelope are no different. Childhood lovers but they could never get it right. Now they’re grown and she’s pregnant with someone else’s baby, Luke. Luke is not all that happy about the baby and is becoming dangerous so Penelope gets moved to a new club in hopes to keep her safe.
Definitely the most suspenseful of the series yet and I couldn’t stop listening because I just had to know what happened next. There was also angst and feels, and I had so many butterflies!
This one also sets up the 4th and final book so perfectly, so excited to dive in.

I am a MC romance sucker and honestly this series has consumed me this week. I’ve been eating these books up. I genuinely loved this one so much. It was so obvious they were obsessed with each other but ya know I love me some miscommunication.

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES!!! The pining in this one had my heart aching, definitely one of my favs in the series!! The found family, the angst, I was dying. I am so desperate for Silas and Nattys book especially with the way this one ended!!!!

3.5 stars. I have loved this series since the beginning so I’m sad to say this one fell a little flat for me. I love a marriage of convenience story and while it had some winning points, it was just ok.

Jameson es el personaje que peor me cae. Wes y Killian son mil veces mejor y por los vistazos que hemos tenido de Silas, el también lo va a ser.
Es un completo cobarde, no soporte la verdad.

I really enjoy this MC series and this book left me wanting for none. Each couple has their own complications, but beautiful story. I usually detest the fake dating trope, but I couldn’t put this book down!
