After exchanging one prison for another, a restricted life far away from the real world and then life behind bars after committing a crime in the hopes of protecting his sister, Dub Kingstone has made a home in Colorado Springs, Colorado and found his passion, creating art and raising horses with his sister and her family.

When his mother appears out of the blue with his two youngest sisters in tow, she wreaks havoc on his calm lifestyle. He finds that the responsibility of helping care for the girls is something he enjoyed much more than he’d ever imagined. Having them in his life has opened his mind to the possibility of having a family of his own, but without a woman to love and make his partner in life, he doesn’t have much hope that will ever happen . . . until he meets a sassy someone who literally knocks him off his feet and then picks him up and shows him a future that’s better than any he could have ever dreamed possible.

Elizabeth Royce went through a darkness that most people can’t even imagine, but she finally found the light and hope she’d been looking for in Rojo, Texas. Now, after years away from Colorado - the place where she was born and raised and then went through hell, she’s back with a newfound strength that will help her build a life surrounded by people and animals she loves.

As life would have it, Elizabeth has a chance encounter with a woman who not only sparks Elizabeth’s nurturing, caring instinct but also introduces her to Dub, a man she just can’t seem to get off her mind. When a truth finally reveals itself, she sees Dub in a new light and realizes that he might be the man that will complete her.

With twists and turns and strings that connect Dub and Elizabeth to people far and wide, their love story will prove that the world isn’t quite as big as it seems and no matter what people have experienced before, love always wins out in the end.

Join Cee Bowerman as she tells a love story that connects all of her series, even in the smallest of ways. Check in on people you’ve met in Rojo, Marlboro, New York, Springblood, and Tenillo while you fall in love with Dub and Elizabeth’s story. Cheer them on as they make a life together and create a family that both of them have always longed for.

Any Cee Bowerman fan will love seeing so many old friends.

Hell yes! I adore Elizabeth. I was either smiling or laughing. Her capacity to love was amazing to see.

Dub’s past is still messing with him but he sure doesn’t hold him back. He has quite a few eloquent moments and a couple of vulnerable moments that show his growth since leaving Pop.

There is a heart wrenching scene toward the end that had me tearing up and a resolution that I’m A-Okay with.

Amazing!

This book was the ultimate book in the Rojo, Tenillo, Tempest and Nomad world. I loved seeing old characters and getting to know the new ones. Dub and Elizabeth are perfect.

Elizabeth and Dub

They met through his sister and were not exactly friendly at first. Then they realized that they were interested in one another and it was a whole new ballgame 😄. Good story.

Surprise Character Update

Spoilers ahead! I knew characters from the Bowerman book universe would be mentioned and was excited to get updates. Melinda's was definitely the most shocking! I had a hard time reconciling who she was with what she became and have a similar situation with a member of my own family that I also struggle with. I know Melinda is a fictional character, but all of Cee's characters feel like old friends to me, and I am frankly devastated that her character ended in that manner. You made me feel all the feels, Cee! Thank you for writing such great books, and I'm waiting impatiently for the next one!

Sadly this wasn’t for me. I really felt it was missing more depth in back story for Dub & Beth. I felt this was glazed over and the story was missing this addition to detail. I liked the strength of Beth’s character and how she rebuilt her life. The connection between Dub & Beth was instant and felt it was lite in building connection. I think the book relied hugely on characters from previous books to gain the readers interest. I love hearing about other characters from prior beloved books but this read as a crutch to the overall story. I will definitely read another book by the author this is just one of those books that isn’t my cuppa.

Another amazing Nomad book. This one was emotional on so many levels. So many layers & people intertwined from Cee Bowerman’s other books. I will say Elizabeth deserved her Happily Ever After. She was introduced to us in Sin Book. It’s book 7 in the Tempest series. You don’t need to read that book to get the full picture & story of Elizabeth. But I can tell you now it wouldn’t hurt to enjoy that book or series. Also I suggest reading all of her books. Lots of Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends, laughs, & let not forget the spicy scenes between couples 🥵.

Elizabeth had been through trauma in her life. Dub had his own rough start in life. Young man doing anything & everything to protect his siblings. He's the perfect man for Elizabeth. Together these two build a friendship together that slowly morphs into love. I couldn’t put this book down. I loved the banter between Elizabeth & Dub! Especially the nicknames. 🤣 add in the MC brothers from both Time Served & Texas Kings plus some of the old lady’s also known as the Covan it was pure magic!

Can’t wait for the next book by Cee in August!

So close to a 5

I really really liked this one. I was so close to giving it 5 stars but there was an inconsistency that bugs me. Dub says he recognized her from the diner because she was with with the Westland boys and he knows their parents but then he sees them later and doesn't recognize them and then realizes they're hers biologically. So does he know them or not? It was really confusing. I wasn’t crazy about her saying she'd sampled Rojo goods. That's crass and I really don't want to hear about past sex partners of the main characters in that manner, maybe in another way if it has to be mentioned, which understandably it comes up sometimes. And if I'm not mistaken about who Melinda is from the previous books I've read, I'm really not happy about what happened with all that. There was a lot of good in this book. Those points I mentioned are my only complaints. I loved the ending. Definitely 4 stars, would have been 5 but my complaints were really valid and 1st and last were big ones.

A great love story unites MC Worlds

Dub (Time Served MC Nomads Book 2) by Cee Bowerman is an exciting book for a multitude of reasons.
First of all, the characters. Dub and Elizabeth were put on this planet for each other. It took them time to get where they needed to be and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect as far as this reader is concerned. Dub’s family being the most significant. Elizabeth is a godsend for Dub’s youngest sisters and for him as well. The same can be said for Dub and his youngest sisters being a godsend for Elizabeth.
I was captivated by all these characters and the storyline that brings them together, creating unbreakable bonds.
Overall, this book is fantastic with wonderful characters. You also get a steamy romance, plenty of comedy, sassy little sisters, MCs coming to assist with the trash, hilarious animal antics and a HEA too. Why would you want to miss all that?
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

CB is a magician! She can combine sweet, funny, tragic, heartache, love and passion with an authenticity that shines so bright. Dub and Elizabeth lock eyes in a restaurant in Rojo, a single moment of chemistry at a terribly inopportune time. Never did they think that they would find themselves butting heads a short while later as neighbors. Both of them with internal scars and an undeniable attraction. Fortunately, they quickly move past the misunderstanding start to forge an incredible relationship. There were so many lovely little Easter eggs with a revelation that left me with my jaw on the floor. I love all the characters, old and new. They are so real, fleshed out and relatable. This author always leaves me with a lightness of heart; truly a vacation for my mind, heart and soul from the stresses of the world. I cannot recommend her enough!!

We are stronger than we think

The connection between all of the characters and series, it's funny and mysterious.

Through the trauma of our first meeting of Elizabeth to the hoofbeats of Hercules, you become entangled in the world of Cee Bowerman's mind. Dub went to battle for his sister, to be tossed away in prison. Once his time was up, he worked for his reward. Unfortunately, his past walked into his future. Elizabeth struggled to see herself past her trauma and fell into like with Dub. Their past helped shape their future. When the woods come alive with the sounds of wolves, bears, and tigers .. oh my!


I do not recommend reading this book if you haven't read anything from Cee before.


Cee, you wonderful word witch.

What made this book so much fun to read was the convergence of all the series that the author writes happening in this one. A fun extra if you read them and it wasn't just one or two showing up, but so many!

Dub and Beth were interesting, oil and water at first, but then when Beth saw how she was being manipulated, that changed. They had cute nicknames for each other that were used when they especially were flipping shit between themselves.

It sucked how both of their past came into play and almost did them both in, instead they came out stronger together and for the little ones that depended on them. I especially like the role that the animals played in keeping everyone safe.

Such a great happy ending for this couple and family, everything they deserved!

I loved this story. We never heard anything about Elizabeth after what happened in Sin's story. A lot of time has passed and it was good to see that she was doing good. She is quite the character and fits right in with the other ole ladies from all the MC's. I really liked Dub also - quite the history on his side and it was interesting to find out he was related to Lisa, Warrien and Addie. It's true everyone is connected in some way or another. Also found out about Melinda - I was shocked to find out what happened to her. I love the fact that Elizabeth works with animals and I lol quite often regarding the interactions with Hercules. It was also great to read about some of my fav characters from Time Served MC. I'm going to be rereading that series as I also reread all the others recently. There is definitely magic in the woods!!!!

"Can I pet that Dog?" LOL I absolutely FLOVE Dub aka Kevin and Elizabeth Aka Karen. They are both truly amazing and strong characters, Together they are unstoppable. They both possess an amazing amount of strength especially given their past, which would cripple most people. They are one of those perfectly imperfect couples. And don't get me started on their banter. They are absolutely hilarious together, hence the Karen & Kevin nicknames.
As with all Cee's books we get to the updates of some of our favorites, little treasures of things to come. If you have not yet grabbed your copy, what are you waiting for??? Dub will end up being one of your favorites!

Cee , you've done it again!

This heartwarming story hits all the spots, shedding happy tears. I was a little unsure at first, but I didn't need to be. The story stands on it's own, but the added characters of stories gone by add to the richness and deft of a new classic to add to a wonderful library of books by Bowerman. Relax and enjoy a true love story with the added drama and suspense this author is known for and let's not forget the laughs. And boy there are some rimgers. Dub and Elizabeth shine as the new nomad couple. You will enjoy yourself with this one. I promise. Happy readimg.

Dub - TSMC Nomads

Another fantastic read! The Timed Served MC series has been one of the craziest series and a bunch of characters I have ever read. I am so happy Cee Bowerman has continued with giving us the Nomad stories. I laughed and cried and got so damn angry while reading this book. All the emotions. Connecting all of the characters from Cee's different series was brilliant. The way they all intertwine is fascinating. I loved Dub's story. I guess there is a Karen for every Kevin - LOL.

Charlie and Hercules are the best…..

Cee Bowerman you brilliant evil woman how could you do that to me!!!! Dub is a fantastic roller coaster of emotion and I need to read it again because there was so much information that my brain couldn’t process it all especially the Melinda info (but that’s probably because my favorite Tempest book is Loki’s with Sin’s being a close second)!!!!

Either way for majority of the book I definitely was singing “Whoop that trick” from ‘Hustle & Flow’ because that woman (iykyk)…..🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Another amazing story by this author!

I absolutely loved the original Time Served MC, and I'm definitely loving the Nomads series as well. This was an intense, complex, and intriguing story with a bit of suspense that will hook you from beginning to end. It includes a lot of characters from several other series, and a few new ones too. As always, there's a lot of humor, drama, angst, and terrific characters that all make for a perfect reading experience.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

LOVED it!!!!

I am really enjoying the Time Served Nomads series!!! It’s giving us a chance to see the result of Pops good works while also letting g is visit with many dear old friends.
Dub and Elizabeth have an amazing love story to share. These 2 have heartbreaking pasts. Those pasts don’t stop them and serve as quite a catalyst to knowing what they want for their future. We get to be spectators as they fight to find their future together.
Fabulous storyline, amazing characters, spicy good stuff and a HEA that had me cheering.
I loved this book!!!

The perfect blend of old and new

I absolutely loved this book and it might just be my favourite book that I have read of Cees. It was something special reading about Elizabeth coming full circle after the trauma she has had to overcome. Dub was a big teddy bear and I absolutely loved his character. This book had some really funny moments and really sweet ones as well. I loved the the comeos from multiple characters we have loved from previous stories and the glimpses of potential future nomads.

Dub

What a wonderful story! I am ever amazed that Cee can write so many books with no plot repetition. I love it! It was so heartwarming to see good things finally happen for Elizabeth and to see so very many of our beloved characters together. Dub is such a great person. He and his family are perfect for Elizabeth. I can never say enough great things about Cee Bowerman. Anyone who needs a new author to read or has the opertjnity to read one of her books, please do it. You will never have a regret and will be anxiously awaiting the next.

Great story

This story is a great addition to the Time Served MC. Cee Bowerman has a great series going with both Time Served MC as well as Ciara StJames’ series Tenillo Guardians. I love all these characters from both series and how well they are integrated into all the books. The males are strong, loyal and protective and the females are loving, strong and supportive. Thank you Cee Bowerman and Ciara StJames for writing you both are amazing writers and I look forward to reading more from both of you!

This book needs more than five stars. This author has out does herself again with this one. Dub and Elizabeth are so great together and have both been through so much in their life that they deserve a happy ending. You of course get a sweet love story but tons of humor, sarcasm and an infatuated horse. I was thrilled when she brought in all the other characters from all her other series too which of course added more humor. I recommend every book she puts out because she will not disappoint you at all.

outstanding

I adore this book and its characters. I am a fan of anything this author writes and the mention of so many of my favorite characters makes me start at the very beginning of her first book series and do a complete reread. This one encourages everyone to be themselves and what family is not given to them, to create one of their own. Family is more than blood. We can choose to create our own. Highly recommend this story. It will leave you with a smile and a feel good attitude for the read of your day. Enjoy.

Another engrossing story

The world that Cee Bowerman has carefully crafted gets bigger with each book and sometimes it takes a while for you to drag your mind back to them to get characters in their right time and space.
This is one of those books.
Once you get into it, it's a fascinating story about Dub, a nomad in the time served MC and Elizabeth who has a very interesting, albeit quite disturbing, back story. Throw in Hercules and Charlie and there's some light relief too.
There's romance, intrigue, sex and a little violence but it makes a great story

This novella is a classic example of why Cee Bowerman is such a popular author. Yes, the genre is motorcycle club but don't let that turn you away. The connections she draws between her characters - past and present - blend so well with a plot that, while it may be a little predictable, is still fun to read. If you've read all her books you might guess how the bad guys are dispatched but you still won't be disappointed. And if you haven't, then you're in for a treat.

I found this book thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommend this book to you.

oh my goodness

What a ride!! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading this! The beautiful way Cee built their relationship up from first meeting to last page. It was so real! So realistic in that they had petty annoyances as well as breath stealing love for each other. Their banter made me smile and laugh out loud at times. Thoroughly enjoyed this even though I hadn’t read the whole series. But I’m definitely going back to read the missed books. Thank you Cee for sharing your story telling talent

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. This was a book of protection, compassion, kindness, being a loving person and doing what needs to be done for your family. I enjoyed Dub and Elizbeth story. I think they made a really great couple. They brought the best out in each other. She loved his family and she was there for them if they needed it. Dub's mom she was a piece or work but they eventually put her in her place. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

I LOVE DUB!!!!

Dub is so amazing! He has a huge heart loves his brothers and sisters with his whole heart and even has enough room to love someone new! Elizabeth's entire life changed at a time when most young women are full of hope for the future. She overcame her past and is ready for a future in Colorado where it all went down! Her strength and resilience is exactly what Dub needs and he doesn't even know it :)
