She’s sworn to uphold the law, but he lives by a different code—and both will be tested when danger comes calling...
Keely As a lawyer, I’ve always fought my battles in the courtroom, not on the streets. But when an FBI task force puts me in the crosshairs of a ruthless motorcycle club, I’m forced back to the one place I feel safe—and the man I left behind. Lockout is stubborn, protective, and everything I’ve ever wanted, but we can’t seem to get on the same page. Danger is coming at me from all sides and my only choice is to leave the law behind and let my outlaw biker take over. With my life on the line, I’m starting to wonder if some rules are worth breaking—especially when my heart never learned to follow them in the first place.
Lockout The moment Keely walked back into my life, it was like she never left. I've spent nearly a year watching her from afar, leaving her to pursue her career even when it killed me to let her go. Now danger has followed her home, and I won't make the same mistake twice. The Legion of Shadow MC has no idea what hell they’ve unleashed by threatening what’s mine. I’ll burn their operation to the ground to keep her safe, but the hardest battle might be convincing this stubborn woman that she belongs by my side—not just until the danger passes, but forever. With the Legion of Shadow closing in and my club on the brink of war, we’ll need to decide if what we’ve found together is worth fighting for. In my world, love and loyalty come with a price—one we’ll both have to be willing to pay…

Cathleen Cole currently lives in Utah with her husband Frank, their six dogs, four goats, and flock of chickens. Cathleen and Frank have nomadic souls, so they don’t expect to be tied down to one place indefinitely.

As husband and wife, they insist on sharing all successes and failures equally.
I knew I wanted Lockout's story as he intrigued me from the very first book in the series. He has been very stoic, withheld and of course, determined to keep his brothers and their families safe. However, when K. comes back, there is simply no holding back anymore. These main heroine is quite capable, but even she is no match for the looming danger. I really appreciated the close knit community that this MC offers and every time I read one of the stories here, I do get this cozy, peaceful vibe. Having said that, by all means there is plenty of danger and action, but the characters successfully manage to navigate through the hurdles. The couple here is lovely and since it has been a long time coming, it was a very gratifying experience. What has always stood out here, in every story in the series, is the found family vibes, the solid friendships and of course people, who genuinely care for others.
This story has been another great installment and I think I do owe Paulette a huge thanks as I did come across the series thanks to her.
I'm so sad that Lockout is the last in this series but his story was so worth the wait. I have absolutely adored this series, there's not one biker or old lady that I haven't loved.
You definitely get the found family feeling throughout these books and despite each book being about a different biker you get a connected storyline throughout.
Lock takes on everything for the club, his brothers and their families. Usually to the expensive of his own happiness so when him and Keely (who's tension has been brewing forever) are forced proximity due to a common enemy you know it's going to be fireworks.
Lock and Keely are perfect for eachother and I'm so glad that we finally get to see them together. I loved there was no second act breakup and they communicated - after forever of not communicating properly.
The 8 years later was such a good way to make us have that little more of all the bikers and their families.
Thank you Cathleen for the perfect ending to this series. This will defo be a reread series
I’m happy that we finally got Lockout and Keely’s story. I’m sad because the series is over.
Lockout and Keely have had tension since Smoke and Dani’s book. I feel like their story has been the longest slow burn romance I’ve read. It’s been interwoven throughout the series and we’re finally seeing the fruition of the story. It was so worth the wait.
Before this book, I didn’t know that Lockout ran his own company. I don’t remember it ever being discussed. He had a tough enough job babysitting the guys, especially Butcher and Toxic. That was a big enough job, as is.
I will say that I had hoped Keely’s FBI boss had gotten his desserts on page and not just told about, if that makes sense. I was really hoping they’d find out he’d been giving intel to the bad guy and wasn’t just a total asshole. Oh well, we were given so much, I’ll overlook this.
Overall, I’m incredibly sad that we won’t see these guys in a regular basis anymore. Yes, I expect them to pop up across other series, but it isn’t the same.
The epilogue definitely helped, because we got to see how the crazy continues. Also, I feel like it could open up a new “next chapter” series with the kids. Gabby is grown and gone. What if she gets together with one of the sons of the Austin chapter or another MC?
With all the things Butcher and Toxic taught the girls, there is no ending to possibilities about continuing. I want to see the Next Chapter for both Austin and Tucson. I miss everyone and want to see how they’re doing.
I love this book and series and will reread it over and over again. I miss it already.
Lockout by Cathleen Cole & Frank Jensen is the eleventh/final book in the The Viking's Rampage MC: Tucson Chapter series. I have been waiting for this book and I am so honored to have been able to get an ARC. This book exceeded all my expectations. The plotline was very well paced and kept my full attention. I could not put this book down. I love these characters and I am so sad that this is the final book for this chapter of the Viking’s Rampage MC. This world Cathleen and Frank created is amazing and I am obsessed with it.
Finally seeing Keely and Lockout’s POVs and get their happy ending was everything for me. They have been teased throughout the series and their story was better than I could have imagined. Their banter and chemistry was fantastic. I love this big MC family!!! Lockout has such a big heart and seeing how much he cares for his MC family made my heart melt for him. This man will do anything for those he loves. I loved seeing him and Keely finally give into their attraction and admit they want one another. I am so sad this is the last book in this series but it was the perfect ending. I am so excited to read about the other MCs in this world! I HIGHLY recommend not only this book but this entire series if you love MC romances.
From the moment Keely got introduce in this series (can’t even remember how far back) I knew her and Lockout would be endgame. I have been waiting for this story it feels like over a year now and My God it did not disappoint 🥰
Through out the series you would get glimpse of Lockout and Keely, always arguing, getting on each other’s nerves, building so much tension. It got so high that I knew the second it would explode it would be AMAZING. And my god was it ever 🥵
Lockout is President and highly protective of his MC family, so it’s no doubt when Keely, the person he desires the most but won’t admit, is in trouble, he’s right there barking orders and helping her rather she wants it or not.
Keely, also protective of her family. She loves the clubs even if she’s not a member of it. So when trouble has come her way the last thing she wants is to bring it to her families front door. She doesn’t care what the President and the man she secretly wants says.
This book was a great way to end the series. The epilogue especially. It had family, love, friendship, danger, yummy scenes and so much more. A must read.
I was blessed with an advanced readers copy of this book and holy buckets.
Honestly, I don’t even know where to start with how much I loved this book. I think this might be my favorite and that’s hard because I really loved Toxic and Butcher’s story. The story allowed you to feel all of the emotions from anger, happiness to love while I don’t want to give away too many Spoilers the banter between keels and lockout was phenomenal. I think this might be the best one yet. This book had me laughing and crying like a mad women. The Epilogue was definitely one of my favorite parts and I’m sad that this storyline ended but it couldn’t have ended in a better way.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The much awaited and anticipated final book of The Viking’s Rampage MC Tucson series delivers everything you’ve come to expect from this amazing duo of authors.
Keely is in big trouble she’s been seconded to work with the FBI in Washington on a big case involving an MC called the Legion of Shadow. They’re everything that gives MCs a bad name including being heavily involved in human trafficking. Now they’re onto her and know she’s involved in an investigation to stop them.
Deeply rattled she does the only thing she can and goes home to Tucson, she doesn’t want to involve the Viking’s Rampage MC in her problems even if it would mean seeing Lockout again. She’s already at least half way in love with him. It hurts too much being around him when he doesn’t feel the same way about her as she does for him.
Apparently the only thing that’s blindingly obvious to everyone in the MC and their ’old ladies’ except Keely and Lockout, is that Keely and Lockout are absolutely crazy about each other. Toxic has plans to fix that.
FINALLY. Lockout and Keely. I’ve been waiting forever and let me tell you—Cathleen Cole did not disappoint.
Lock is the ultimate MC Prez—broody, intense, always looking out for everyone else like a dark knight in leather. Keely? Beautiful, whip-smart, and head over heels even when she’s trying to deny it (FYI she can’t deny it and neither can he). From “I shouldn’t do this” to “I won’t stop this,” their love story is pure 🔥. Lock is possessive in the best kind of way—alpha vibes, protect-at-all-costs energy, and no one touches what’s his. Period.
This is a story about love, sacrifice, found family, and learning that the people you love are worth everything. The ending? A perfect, emotional close to the Viking Rampage MC series. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Cathleen Cole is the queen of MC romance. Now if you need me, I’ll be impatiently waiting for her Berserker Rage series because if anyone can bring unhinged chaos with heart, it’s her.
have y'all ever finished a book/series and as soon as you turn the last page, you're just setting there in a world that's....void? like you've been along for the ride for so long and now that it's over you're left wondering what's the meaning of life? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THESE MEN IVE BEEN ON SOME CRAZY ASS FUCKIN ADVENTURES WITH OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS ARE DONE? like i’m just supposed to go on living like the tucson gang hasn’t been a major part of my journey?? the viking's rampage tucson men and their families have left me staring into the void wondering what i'm suppose to do now. these men (and their old ladies) and the crazy ass journeys we’ve been on, found me when the twins were in the NICU. they were recommended to me by one of the nurses. and let me just say… Cathleen Cole it’s been a damn honor to be along for the ride. i’ve been waiting on Lockout and Keely for SIX BOOKS and they did not once disappoint in any way, shape or form. they were absolutely perfection and i’m so happy that this fictional motorcycle club president got his happy ending just like the rest of his men. the fact that he had to take on so many fights and beatings from his men to finally get his head out of his ass so he could get his happy ending, just had me laughing. this man 1000% knew how to fight the battles not only of his family, but also of his woman. and Keely....gah! i love that running home and away from the taskforce and the LoS put her right in the smack dab middle of the family that she needed. all things aside from the evil that is following her, she was very headstrong and independent and DID NOT TAKE LOCKOUT'S SHIT AT ALL. they both were the perfect match for the other and leaving tucson hurts. Lockout is my number one. Toxic and Butcher will forever have my heart. the epilogue DID NOT HAVE TO HURT LIKE THAT GUYS i’m anxious about the berserker men, because i have a feeling they’re gonna seep into my core like the tucson guys did. Thank you Cathleen and Frank for the wild, beautiful, badass ride you took us all on.
I was so so sad to see this series end! But this is exactly what I wanted out of it. It had all of the action, steaminess and humor I could want. It was great to finally see inside Lockout’s head and to get to watch him go full Lockout (a few times 😏). We knew from Keely’s first introduction that her and Lockout were endgame but I’m glad we got to experience from their POVs as well. The family aspect of these books is ALWAYS my favorite. With Keely and Lockout being so fiercely loyal and having the backs of the ones they love, it’s no surprise this had me bawling for most of the story. The wrap up in the epilogue was beautiful and I’m so so glad to watch this family thrive.
This was a perfect book for the end of the series. I have laughed, cried like a baby, mad like a rabid dog and happy like I just won the lottery. Sounds like a tsunami of emotions huh? It was and I was here for it. Keely is perfect for Lock. I will say I can relate to Keely about what happened in the shower. When Lock went rabid I was right a long with him, cheering him on. The ending was perfect. I can’t praise this series enough.
This book was literally perfection! The best ending to the Tucson chapter of the Vikings Rampage! Getting to see old brothers for different chapters come back, others mentioned that we got to meet and fall in love with, and the lead up to the upcoming books from the chapters that helped our vikings! I laughed, I cried, I decided I definitely will need shelf trophies as this series is one I will re read often as a comfort read!
A long awaited HEA for Keely & Lock. Boy did they deserve it. This was another amazing book by Cathleen & Frank. I especially loved the epilogue. It made me so happy. Her road name also matched her personality towards Lock soooo well.
My very favorite quote “I wasn’t sure if haunting a woman in order to grovel for eternity was considered creepy or romantic in a woman’s eyes, but whatever. My Jumper Cables was going to be stuck with me either way.”
This was my most anticipated read of the year and it did not disappoint. Lockout and Keely’s story has been building since book 4 of this series and the authors made it everything I knew it would be. I experienced such a wide range of emotions reading this. From laughing at the banter to feeling my stomach drop with the twists. I wish I was able to read this again for the first time!
Love the Vikings Rampage MC series and Lockout was definitely not a disappointing. I love how Keely is able to drive Lockout crazy. The story is phenomenal! One of my favs in the series. It’s a great conclusion to this series. It has action, the feels, some bite your nails moments. And of course there is some spice!
What an epic story, it was fast paced, full of action and brilliantly written. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤
I loved Keely and Lockout's story! From the beginning to end. While it did seem like it took forever to get their happy ending, it was probably one of my favorites. They truly were perfect for each other. The banter, chemistry, and steam were perfect too. This book had themes of family, friendships, protection, and love. There was danger, action, lots of emotions, humor, and spice! I think this was an excellent way to end Tucson Chapter!!
This was everything and more! Finally getting to see Lock and Keely together was just the BEST. I devoured this one. The perfect ending to this series. It will be sad to fully say goodbye to the Viking’s rampage but I know I’ll end up seeing them in the Berserkers rage & Saints Outlaw MC series but I’m still going to miss them.
This book makes me so happy yet so sad to see the Tuscan chapter come to an end. I hope we get to learn more from the Wyoming chapter. Lockout and Keely had so much tension from their previous encounters. She is strong. Independent, and stands up to Lockout. He doesn't want to stop Keely from living her dream so they let time go until they need each other. Finally with a little push from Warrant you see Lockout finally claim Keely. They may have some ups and downs but they finally have each other and that's all that matters.
I’m so sad to see this series end. But was also so excited to finally get Lock and Keely’s story. To say this series captivated me would be an understatement. MC series are one of my favorites and this one knocked out of the park. Everyone of the bikers will live rent free in my head for years to come. The books will be displayed on my shelves forever. This will always and forever be a reread for myself.
This book made me laugh and cry in so many ways. Can’t wait to see if we have a whole new series about the new generation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love this series and I’m so sad this is the last book. Lockout deserved his happy ending and I loved the epilogues. I’m hoping the author does a second gen series with the kids 🤞🏼
I have been waiting for Lockout's book, and it didn't disappoint. This series is one of my favorites, and I'm sad to see it end. Well, this chapter of it. I was a lot packed into this book and it was very well written. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys mc books.
Sadly I have come to the end of this great series, Lockouts story was a fab way to say goodbye to them all.. I will miss them, 5 stars for the whole series.
Lockout... what a way to end this series. I have fallen in love with every single character in this series but Lockout has a special place in my heart. He is strong and kind but a protector through and through. What happens when you fall for a man who cannot help putting everything on the line for you? Run straight into his arms when trouble comes knocking!! Keely knew what she had to do, it is never too late to come home to your family. These bikers are family. Another awesome read!!
