The law is her life, and he lives to break it—but when innocent lives hang in the balance, their worlds collide in the most dangerous way possible.

Ainsley

Taking over as sheriff in Sentinel, Wyoming was supposed to be my fresh start—a chance to make something of myself. But the moment I meet Warrant, the infuriating, devastatingly charming Sergeant at Arms of the Berserker's Rage MC, my carefully laid plans go up in smoke. He's everything I should stay away from: dangerous, unpredictable, and completely convinced I belong to him. As the town’s sheriff, getting involved with a man who operates outside the law could destroy my career and everything I've worked for. But when kidnapped children land on our doorstep and danger comes at us from all sides, I realize some battles can't be fought from behind a badge—and some protectors don't wear uniforms.

Warrant

The second I lay eyes on the new sheriff, I know she's mine. Ainsley can fight it all she wants, with her moral code and professional ethics, but fate doesn't care about badges or reputations. I've got a ranch to run, a club to serve, and enough mischief in me to keep my brothers and the entire town on their toes, but none of that matters when kids go missing and my woman's life is threatened. When the Viking's Rampage MC calls in a favor to help find stolen children, what starts as a rescue mission becomes a war. The bastards who took those kids made one fatal mistake—they brought their violence into my territory and put Ainsley in their crosshairs. Now they'll learn why they call us Berserker's Rage, and why a happy-go-lucky biker can be the most dangerous enemy of all.

With bullets flying and enemies closing in, we'll have to decide if love is worth breaking all the rules for. For me, family comes first—and I'm going to make Ainsley mine, badge and all.

Warrant, book one of The Berserker’s Rage MC: Wyoming Chapter, is a steamy, angsty, biker romantic suspense read full of action, adventure, and sexy times. Download today and get ready to fall for hot anti-heroes.

First Impressions
Warrant is the first book in the newest series by this author writing team. But its also connected to the Arizona Chapter MC series as well. So if you have read those series and had a fun time with Warrant and Pyre .....then this is the series for you. Its a story that will have you swooning while also having you release barrels of laughs from beginning to end. I never wanted this book to end. This is the type of book that will be like having a warm cup of tea on a cool spring evening.....comforting and thrilling all at once and I am convinced this author team haven't written a bad book.

First Line
I glanced up as the cop car pulled in next to my beater of a pickup truck.

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Warrant
The Heroine: Ainsley

Summary
Ainsley is the new sheriff of the town and she is determined to make this a good fresh start and be a sheriff that the town can respect after the previous sheriff made them all lose their trust. But she has one hurdle.....the exasperating and sexy Warrant who is both a good and bad boy and he is temptation and bad news for her with her new position. He is the man she yearns for but knows she can't have. Warrant isn't afraid of conflict or fightinf what he wants and what he wants is Ainsley. He doesn't care that she is sheriff, his best friend is one of her deputy's and he will prove to her that they can make this work. But Ainsley is torn between her duty and the love that is building for this man.....but will love win out in the end?

What I Loved
The banter...the tension...the plot.....the characters that make you want to yearn for more in your life .....this book was perfection and such a fun ride! Literally jumping into this one was such a comfort read for me. The best book to start the day with if I am being honest. I just adored these two together and seeing the way in which they worked with each other. The banter had me hooked from the beginning. I knew I would have a fun time with Warrant's book but this one definitely surpassed ALL of my expectations. Ainsley was such a good match for him. While she is a strong heroine and knows her stuff....she also isn't so focused on justice that she forgets the human element. I loved how she becomes sponatious with Warrant and learns to let go of certain restrictions and embrace the moment with him. They had the best chemistry and seeing them work through issues was a RIOT!!! Seriously I need more heroes like Warrant because definitely one of my favorites that I have read this year.

What I Struggled With
Not much...the ending felt a bit rushed. The third act it was mostly a suspense plot and we didn't see much of Warrant and Ainsley together so I would have liked some splice of life scenes or a ending not so quick and man I would have loved to see what Ainsley's parents thought of Warrant. That is the only thing that kept the book from being a six star rating for me.

Overall View
Warrant is a sexy, curl your toes and entertain the reader from beginning to end type of read. Its a story that will make you yearn for your own sexy rancher biker who knows how to give his girl the best treatment and fight for her in all the best of ways...

Warrant is the kind of MC romance that lures you in with jokes, dimples, and a flannel‑wrapped sense of humor… and then casually reminds you he can snap a man in half if the situation calls for it. He’s not scary — he’s capable. He’s not unhinged — he’s selectively lethal. He’s the human equivalent of a warm hug that can also bench‑press a truck.

Ainsley shows up in Sentinel ready to be the law. Warrant shows up ready to be a problem. Their first meeting is basically fate throwing confetti and yelling, “Good luck, idiots.” She’s trying to be professional. He’s trying to flirt. She’s trying to enforce the rules. He’s trying to break them with charm.

And the humor? Oh, it’s everywhere.
Warrant is funny without trying — that effortless, teasing, “I know I’m getting under your skin and I’m enjoying it” kind of funny. He’s the guy who cracks a joke while fixing your fence, then turns around and gets deadly serious the second someone threatens you. It’s whiplash in the best way.

When the kidnapped‑kids plot hits, the tone doesn’t turn grim — it turns focused. Warrant drops the jokes, squares his shoulders, and becomes the man you absolutely want on your side. He’s still warm, still charming, still the guy who will make you laugh in the middle of chaos… but now he’s also the guy who will track down the danger and end it with precision.

He’s not terrifying.
He’s reassuringly dangerous.
The kind of man who makes you feel safe because you know he can handle whatever comes.

Ainsley tries to resist him, but honestly? How do you fight a man who can make you laugh, make you blush, and make your enemies disappear all before breakfast.

This book is funny, fast, steamy, and full of that perfect MC‑romance balance:
sunshine chaos + lethal competence + a heroine who gives as good as she gets.

A full 5‑star ride that leaves you swooning, laughing, and absolutely ready for book two.

Fantastic read!

Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: opposites attract
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥1\2

This was such a fantastic story! Fast-paced, lots of action, and well-written. It was the both the characters and the push/pull from the opposites attract that kept me glued to my Kindle. The characters were great. The heroine is the new sheriff in town And the hero is a member of a 1% MC. I don't know why that's such a favorite of mine, but it is. Also we have a black cat heroin paired with a total golden retriever Hero and it really just made the story. He was such Hero and it really just made the story. He was such a light-hearted character and just made the heroine smile a lot, whether she wanted to or not, lol. A real jokester that drove nearly everyone crazy with his shenanigans. It seems like this newest chapter Is off to a great start. I can't wait to get my hands on Pyre's story next!

I love this book!!! First book I have read by Cathleen and Frank and it won’t be the last. I noticed this book because my GR friend Lover of Romance reviewed it (great review btw), it was on my feed, and the mischievous book cover. They did a great job of having the cover represent the kind of character Warrant was going to be in the book. I do not even know where to start, hopefully I don’t give away any spoilers to those of you that hate them. Personally, I love spoilers- most of the time I start reading the beginning then I flick through book reading, read the epilogue and then go back to the beginning and actually start the book. 😂 I love how Warrant was written as a MMC and how the story was developed between not only the FMC but how it showed his depth with his friendships, loyalty to his town, loyalty to his club (Berserker’s Rage Motorcycle Club), and an understanding of the needs of others. He is definitely not a one dimensional character and I thought he showed a multifaceted personality that allowed him to engage with a variety set of circumstances and people. He came off as adaptable and even though he did not exactly (at all) stay on the straight and narrow he was able to support and grow those friendships that do not engage in his same lifestyle. I loved his mischievous, live life fully every day attitude. I loved Ainsley as the FMC as well and how she was willing to start a new life in a new town and start building friendships and long lasting relationships with a great group of people. She had some hard choices to make as she journeyed along in the story and took the time to reflect on what would be the best outcome. There are side characters from previous series in this book but I don’t think I really needed to read those books in order to read this one, they just added to the depth of the story. I plan on adding those books to my tbr. There is so much packed into this book and I’m purposely leaving out any descriptions because I know I’ll give away too much detail. I will be reading this series!

We finally get to see the Berserker’s in their own space.

I really enjoyed this book. Warrant has always been known as a prankster. He’s laid back, goes with the flow and doesn’t really give a shit. However, we also get to see a more serious side to him.

I never would have pictured Warrant as an MP, while in the military. From some of his observational skills, I feel like he wasn’t a normal MP hanging out at the gate , checking IDs. Warrant is more than just a pretty face with a great smile. It was so good to see him as multi-dimensional.

Ainsley has always wanted to be a cop. Her uncle is a cop, and she wanted to be like him. She very much believes in the law and has a strict moral code. With Warrant, she has to make some tough choices about what she really wants in life and what’s she’s willing to give up.

Ainsley spent most of the book conflicted between her job as sheriff and her feelings for Warrant. She couldn’t do her job effectively, in her mind, while also being with Warrant. He’s not always on the side of the law or willing and able to do things as the law dictates. For someone who has lived and breathed the law her entire life, it makes for some hard choices.

I think the conclusion she came up with was the right one. She’s now able to help more in her new position than if she had stayed where she was. I hope to see her skill set utilized better, so she can grow into the woman she was always meant to be.

I will say that I loved seeing some of the members from Tucson and Austin. I wish we could get a short Christmas novella showcasing how their lives are going. How many kids they’ve had, especially Austin, and how everyone is doing. I’d love to see a Next Gen on all these guys eventually.

Overall, this was a great introduction to everyone in the club and those around them. I can’t wait to see who gets with who and how the series develops.

I have been waiting for Warrant's story, and It did not disappoint.

Warrant is a charmer, a prankster, and he loves to have a good time. But don't mistake his laid back attitude for being weak. He is just as deadly has his fellow MC brothers.

Ainsley is the new sheriff in town, and catches the eye of Warrant. He is instantly smitten and wants to make her his in every way.

I enjoyed seeing some of the guys from the The Vikings' Rampage MC Austin, and Tucson Chapters!

When Rigg's kids are kidnapped (The Austin Chapter), they reach out to the Tucson Chapter. Once they realize that the kids are headed towards Wyoming, they reach out to The Berserker's Rage MC for help. One thing you don't do is mess with kids. They will do whatever it takes to find the kids and return them safely to their family. Ainsley has to decide if she's going to follow the law, or follow the lead of Warrant and his MC brothers.

I enjoyed every bit of this story and I could not put this book down. Cathleen and Frank did it again with another 5 star read. I can't wait to see where this series goes!

As always Cathleen has outdone herself. I can never imagine how the stories are going to continue to get better and more real than they already are but Cathleen winds up with a sucker punch of a masterpiece. I’ve been so excited for this book. It had everything I’ve come to love and expect from this author angst, spice, plot🤌🏻, but most importantly a sweet love story. I was really curious how the police portion was going to work out thinking it would be similar to Cade’s book, cause Sheriff vs FBI what’s the difference 😂 but it had its own unique spin!

Is it bad that I hope Eris and Beau get to meet and be puppy buddies😂

Great story!!

This is the first book in a new series, and this is Warrant and Ainsley's story.
Ainsley is the new sherriff in town, and Warrant to a member of an MC. From the second these two meet the sparks fly.
This is a well written story which is action packed, with family, friendships, emotions, loyalty, secrets, challenges, trust, humour, witty banter, tension, danger, suspense, intrigue, making choices, heartbreak, revelations, undeniable chemistry, and unconditional love, which all leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from these talented whose whose work I highly recommend.

Great story!

This was a great start to the new series! I really enjoyed the dynamic between all the brothers and we get to see some of the others in this story. I really enjoyed Ainsleys character. The mental battle she goes through knowing what she wants but try it to figure out how she can have it! Ainsley and Warrant are great for each other. She’s all business and straightforward and Warrant is just a goof ball that protects his family at all costs. We get the seriousness of the MC world with some laughs and love also!
Can’t wait to see what’s next for the series!

I’m so excited we got to finally learn more about the Bezerkers! Warrant is such an absolute goofball and loving, but lord is that man one fucking badass. It was great to learn about all the other members, Cypher is definitely a favorite already. Ainsley was a badass in her own right, and watching her war with herself and her career was executed wonderfully. Amazing chemistry between those two but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t ready to learn more about Pyre and hopefully who I think it is!!

Worth the wait

After meeting Warrant in previous MC books by Cathleen and Frank I was really excited to finally read his story. This is a great intro to the Berserker's Rage MC with lots of new and interesting characters that I can't wait to read more about. Was also great to catch up with favourite characters from the Viking's Rampage MC Austin and Tucson chapters.
Thanks for another great read Cathleen and Frank, your books are always worth the wait🙂

Warrant and Ainsley

WOW!!! That's all I can say. Kids being kidnapped. The town of Sentinel is run by women, the mayor, commissioners, coroner, funeral director, and a reporter.
He falls first and its love at first sight. Who would believe this about Warrant. Crazy, flirty, sexy Warrant. But it's true.
The twists and turns were not what I expected but kept me glued. I love suspense, and this one was top-notch. I can't wait on Pyre's story.

I’m in love

I started to fall for Warrant in the other books he was in. I could tell he was a big grizzly bear with a teddy bear inside. Ainsley is perfect for him. I have a girl crush on her. The story had just the right amount of drama with laughter and tears thrown in. The romance was perfect. I can’t wait for the next one.

loveeeee itt!!

I’ve read all the MC romances that you have wrote. And I’m in love with all of them! This one was amazing just as the others. Ainsley and Warrant were so different but so cute together! I love how some books have similar people falling in love but also complete opposites too. I can’t wait for the rest of them!!

Warrant is so funny

I love Ainsley and Warrant. She is so strong headed and knows how to do the right thing even if it's hard. She helps out the MC when they need it but quickly falls in love with a biker in Warrant. She makes the hard decision but she chooses love and that's the whole point after all.

Loved it!!!

I know that the model on the book is just a representation of the MMC and after reading this book and seeing the smirk on his face, this model is spot on. Warrant is such a jokester and a good bad boy. You can't help but love him and I can see why Ainsley didn't stand a chance. This is going to be an awesome series!!!!

Warrant meets the Sheriff

Warrant doesn't do anything easy. He loves to stir things up when he gets bored so why would finding the love of his life be any different. Of course he would pick the one person who should be off limits, the new sheriff, Ainsley.

Warrant is my kind of guy! I thought Hush would be my forever husband and others a nice read. But I think I’m going to have to claim Warrant as mine too. Lol!!!

I love how he claimed his “Sheriff” from the jump and no matter how much she fought it, she was his.

Warrant & Ainsley 🥰

An amazing start to this new series from the truly talented writing duo Cathleen & Frank. Warrant & Ainsley are fire 🔥 I love their banter & I love that she is fiesty, which is just what that cocky Warrant needs, get 'em girl 🤣 Meeting more of the new crew & seeing some the guys from the other books interacting with them is always a blast. I don't want to give spoilers but I especially loved the way this new girl crew was set up 🤗 Another absolute must read. I'm soooo looking forward to Pyre 😏

Sergeant at Arms MMC

I’ve been dying to get Warrant’s story ever since Isla knocked him flat in Butcher’s book 😂. He may be the resident prankster who’s always chasing a good time, but Ainsley was exactly what he needed; she balanced him out perfectly. The storyline kept me hooked, and I loved all the cameos from MC brothers across different chapters, it made the world feel even bigger and more connected. In the end, Warrant finally got his girl and now I’m already looking forward to Pyre’s book next.
