The Wayward Daughter
Sierra Hall is not a family girl.
Sierra Hall hasn't been home for years because she hates her father. Between blaming him for her brother's death and his business ties to crime boss James Northrop, she would rather run wild. But Richard Hall wants his daughter back so he can convince her to marry James, and he uses the one man he has leverage on, to find her.
It is hard for Chad Pender to care for anyone.
Full of regret and living one day at a time, Chad Pender can't forget his best friend's death. Scott Hall was the reason Chad joined the Shadow Souls MC, but Richard's shady dealings cost Scott his life. Chad was there when Scott died and can't shake the guilt; remorse so strong he's willing to help the man who could cause him to lose everything.
Two strangers thrown together, unaware of their common bond.
Finding Sierra is only the beginning for Chad. Sierra never knew Chad and Scott were friends, but she wishes she had met him sooner. When she convinces him to forget his mission, events are set in motion that could pull them apart. Her father is determined to find her, and when Chad reneges, Richard turns the Shadow Souls against him with lies about Chad's involvement with James that led to Scott's death.
EXCERPT
What would Chad say? Would he tell her the whole truth? Would he tell her about Scott’s death and about working for her father? About the guilt? She didn’t need that. Would he tell her anything about her father? If he lied, that would probably just be worse, but he could disguise the truth a little…maybe.
She most likely wanted answers about her brother, about everything that happened that night, about what he was involved in before he died. He could give her that in some small way; he could give her some aspect of the truth of the situation – not all of it, never all of it. All of it would ruin everything he was trying to accomplish here…
…Chad was not at all what Sierra imagined he would look like. He was tall with sandy brown hair. His eyes were a penetrating blue stare that took her by surprise with their intensity. He had a little red cut under his chin, probably from shaving. He was wearing a blue button-down, dark wash jeans, and leather boots. His shirt wasn’t tucked in and was wrinkled. Bachelor, probably has been his whole life. His left ear was pierced, but he didn’t have any jewelry in it.
He was definitely more attractive than she could’ve possibly expected.

Storyline and characters left me intrigued and wanting to know more, however I refuse to pay $2.99 a piece for the next 2 books in the series especially seeing that their only about 60pgs each.

Short and sweet
This is a great start to a short story series, it gave you some back story and opens up for more.

Boring
I'm not really sure how to express my dislike for this book. The hero was so not an alpha male - which is what I expect in a MC book. There was actually a line of him being insecure of his looks when he and the heroine were about to kiss. He continually begged her to talk with him and then was too scared to discuss the issue. I feel like I learned a lot about the heroines beauty routine and her work life but not a real feel for who she is as a person. I felt the same way about the hero. Lots of angst over his best friends accident but have no connection to him and don't really care about him. Then it ends in a weird abrupt place......Won't be reading the next in the series.

Now this has a story line that is so good. Chad and Sierra are an unlikely duo and there are twists and turns throughout. Sierra finds out that her brother and Chad were really great friends and the plot thickens when they find the truth in the death of her brother.
Action, suspense and lots of yummy goodness.

This is my first book by Tamara Knowles and I can honestly say that it will not be my last. This book is very well written and the characters are very well developed. I'm so glad that I picked this book up. I felt very connected to the characters and this is one book that I know I will be able to read again and again. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

I really liked the story and I'm looking forward to reading the rest in the series. I can't wait for more character development and plot growth. One of my favorite parts is the fact that the romance is slow growing and didn't just happen on day 1.

While mildly interesting, it felt a bit slow, dry and lacking action.

Intriguing story...not sure if I will continue though. It sounds like they are a little short.
