Someone is after my Old Lady.
The Mafia thinks they can take what’s mine!
Mine…
Woah.
I said it.
Finally.
After losing my wife, I didn’t think there was space inside my heart for anyone else.
Content to be a widower with no responsibility.
With Goldilocks, it’s different.
She doesn’t just patch the holes—she fills them.
And I’ll be damned if the Barbieri mafia family snatch her away from me.
Literally—
Furiously—
there’ll be hell to pay. I’ll burn the world down to get her back.
I know she’s scared that I can’t get over my wife.
Scared I won’t ever let her all the way in.
But the truth?
She’s already in so deep, I forget how to breathe without her.
The only question now is
when she sees the kind of man I really am—
when she realizes my life isn’t so different
from the mafia she’s running from—
will Goldilocks stay?

Will you be my ride or die girl. I'm still coming down off the high of emotions after reading this book. So much happened to Billie and West. There was also so many revelations in this book that had me reeling. Never have I read a book that has slapping the are of the couch with each revelation.
But at the end of it all I'm so glad Billie and West got their HEA that was everything.

Wow! I have spent 24 hours thinking and trying to wrap my head around this book, and I still can't....
It was so much more than I could have imagined, motorcycle clubs and mafia intertwined in a horrid scheme that by someone that was thought of as a trustworthy father figure/leader went along with to save himself, showing his true colors.
It was the perfect entanglement of motorcycle club and mafia while also telling a story of sacrifice, overcoming, and the kind of love that you never stop fighting for.
This is the second book that continues to follow Billie and West, and the whole group as they continue to take out the people Billie is running from, and to clean up the mess the former club leader put them in. This story is not for the faint of heart because it has some really hard scenes that made me full out cry. But there's also the undying love between two people, the unbreakable friendships that keep building, and throw in some growing up, and lastly, the new additions that are growing the Wayward family!
Thank you, Eve, for writing such an amazing story. This story could not have been wrapped up any better while also leaving readers with a cliffhanger to keep us wanting more from this amazing group of characters. At least my favorite pair in my head got their happily ever after, even if the cliffhanger says otherwise! I still believe they achieved the happiness they deserve after all they have both been through!

In this second book for Wayward Sons MC, Eve Marcoux is able to draw the reader into the story in such a way that we fall in love with the main characters all over again, we want justice for everyone that was affected, we find sympathy for those that were forced to do things they didn't want to, and are totally invested in the main characters finding each other again.
The character dialog and interaction is on-point. I love the banter as well as the 'real talk' between family members (MC and blood) and you can feel the tension between the enemies. I absolutely loved how Eve was able to have Billie (FMC) get messages to West (MMC) in such a way to help him in his search but it also told us her part of the story so that we readers would know what was happening to her but also kept the storyline moving.
There are also fun references to movies and some of her other books that are fun to notice throughout the book. Nothing is missed if you aren't familiar with them, they just add some charm if you are.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next!!!

West
Omg omg omg!!!! I can’t express enough how much I LOVE Eve’s books and this one is proof. It was AMAZING!!!! I could not put it down. Literally devoured the book. Every chapter you just kept wanted to know what would happen next. Once again, every chapter she continued to surprise me. Every time I thought I knew what would happen, well I was definitely wrong.
This was book two/ part two of the Wayward series. I’m saying part two cause it’s a continuation of book 1 Wayward Sons MC: Goldilocks. I recommend you read one before two.
West and Billie are an amazing balance. They complement each other so well. They both have their demons and are nowhere near perfect, but you can see how much from book one to two their relationship grew. West especially did not have an easy past. But, he finally opened up and allowed himself to love again. Even with all the twists and turns ( and oh boy there were tons but I don’t want to give ANYTHING away). He never gave up hope on Billie and continued to fight for her.
I cannot recommend this book enough. If you like biker club, mafia romance, insta love, and so much more, then this is the book for you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wayward Sons, MC: West is book two of the Wayward Sons, MC Series.
We finally get to see what happens after that phone call that left us reeling at the end of book one. Boy, this was one rollercoaster ride of a story. There were times where things would look slightly up, just to get pushed down again.
We really get to focus on West and how he is struggling with everything that happens in this book. There are a lot of times where you think someone would give up, but not West. When he commits to something he doesn't stop until he achieves it.
There were a lot of painful moments with this one. We really see the trauma a lot of characters have to go through in order for West and Goldilocks to be together. It also leaves us with quite an ending and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the Wayward Sons MC series and this one didn’t hold back. It took me 3 days to devour this book. Now I’m like what am I supposed to do. I loved this book. It continues where book 1 left off and it’s more from West’s pov. You really see what makes West West. The characters all have a special place in my heart. I love Fancy and Shayne. They are legit bad a$$ chicas. This book broke my heart into pieces and then put it back together. The action, the drama, the banter, the spice. It all worked. Do I still want to be an Old Lady? Absolutely! You will not see the twist and turns in this book. It will leave you with a lot of OMG moments and be ready to hop on a hog and help fight. Truly a great piece of work. I can’t wait to see what book 3 is about.

If you read book 1 (which I highly recommend), then you know we were left on a bit of a cliffy. This book definitely took my feelings and made a big ol' mess of them. I have always been a supporter of Billie and her actions, while West and I have always treaded a love-hate relationship. Let me tell you, West worked my nerves, and I was ready to give Billie a new man. But boy, does he redeem himself and crawls back to be the man BILLIE NEEDS!. *swoons* I love a man who can drive me crazy in so many ways, lol. I cried, laughed, wanted scream, and mostly felt the love throughout this whole book. I'd recommend this book over and over again. As always, check the TWs. Your mental health always comes first. Happy reading!

This book is a perfect conclusion to Billie and West’s story. Eve Marcoux delivers nonstop twists, emotional chaos, and so many moments that made me laugh, cry, and shout at the characters. Billie is the ultimate badass heroine—funny, strong, and so easy to root for. And West? He finally earns his redemption arc (even if he worked my last nerve getting there!).
The pacing is fast, the tension is high, and the Princess Bride references were a delightful touch. If you read Goldilocks, you have to continue with this—it picks up right where book one left off and takes everything to the next level. Emotional, twisty, and totally worth the ride.
Just read it. You’ll thank me later. 💥📚💕

Hooooly crap balls. Not only do things heat up with Billie and West, but the plot THICKENS. The twists, the turns, the way I thought I could see how things were going to happen, just to totally be subverted- in the best ways and sometimes maybe worse ways. I loved getting inside of Wests head space more in this book. I feel like we really got to know him even better and help break down some walls from book 1.
This book is a VERY fast paced, keep you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails SHOWSTOPPER. When you think they’re all safe something so unexpected but makes sense happens. I swear this club has broken like 84 mirrors to have this kind of luck.
And our girl, Billie. The strength, the humor, the total kick butt woman she is. I love this FMC so much.
And as a favorite little running “joke” my favorite movie of all time is referenced, The Princess Bride.
Long story short: READ THIS BOOK.

I don't even know where to begin... This book was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect ending to Billie's and West's story. You will go through every emotion until you reach the end. The twists made my jaw drop and they didn't stop with the end of the book. The setup for book 3 was superb and has me speculating what's going to happen. I know book 2 just released, but I already can't wait for book 3.
If you love a good biker series, do yourself a favor and start with Wayward Sons MC: Goldilocks and then read this one. You will not be disappointed.

This is a definite must read, before you start go and read the previous book so you get the whole story and you won’t be confused with the plot. This book has all you want from a book, a great plot, characters who you are invested in and all the good stuff in between. I don’t like to give anything away in my review but I will recommend this to anyone who asks me to recommend a book that you won’t want to put down and will definitely lose sleep with a just one more chapter! I look forward to more stories from this author!

Book 2 in the Wayward Sons MC series and I didn't think it was possible to get even better but it does! West and Billie have a love/connection so fierce that you can feel it deep in your soul. This book had me feeling all the emotions on those pages. I don't want to give a single thing away on this one but West's fight for Billie is what all of us want and need in our life. 100% worth the read!!!!!

MC books really weren’t my thing until I found this series. This is book 2 and picks up where Goldilocks left off. Eve has a way with sucking you into the worlds she creates and they are so good. Can’t get enough and while I’m sad this is the end of Billie and West’s story, I’m excited for what’s next in the Wayward series. If you’re into MC and mafia then read this because it has both and is explosive. Give it a shot, it definitely won’t disappoint. Check TWs as it does have some dark themes

Ahhh book two did not disappoint. Such a good book and a great end to Billie and West’s story. Eve had me feeling so many emotions in this book. Fear, disgust, hate,rage, love and on and on. And way to leave us on a cliff hanger. Great way to get you hyped for book three. I can’t wait to see what Eve has in store for it. Do yourself a favour and read this series.
Make sure to check trigger warnings as there are quite a few.

This was book 2 in the Wayward Sons series and it did not disappoint. Book 1 is a must read if you do not want to be lost. It picks up right where book 1 ended and we get to dive deeper into West. The plot was well written and the character development was phenomenal. The book kept my attention until the very end. You will go through all emotions as you dive deeper into West’s and Billie’s story. Each plot twist will keep you guessing. Definitely recommend reading this series.

2.5⭐️ This whole book was just a big cat/mouse chase. Nothing of consequence really happened until the last 20%ish of the book. Was going to DNF several times but pushed through to meet my EOY goal. This whole book was about chasing the bad guy and missing him within minutes each time. No real plot line but the ending was promising.
Idk, the storyline with Runway seems like it could be interesting. Author has said that will be the next book in the series.

A riveting action packed drama that will have your emotions in a tailspin. It was intense. The storyline picked up right where the last ended. It was jam packed with trauma, heartbreak, missed opportunities, but also second chances. Billie & West were phenomenally developed characters and their struggles cut deep. Their love story is triumphantly bittersweet.

OKAY CAUSE WEST GIVES DADDYYYYYY!!!!🥵🥵 this man will always do it for me!!
Okay, in all seriousness I loved West and Goldilocks’ relationship. There were some bumps in the road. But like all great relationships they made it out the other side and found love with each other that they both deserved♥️
SO EXCITED FOR BOOK THREE!!

Do yourself a favor and READ IT!!!!! But read Goldilocks first if you haven’t. This book had me laughing crying and sitting on the edge of my seat!!! HOLY 💩 this book did not disappoint!!! I can’t wait for the 3rd one to come out!
June 29, 2025
Great conclusion to Billie and West’s story that was started in Wayward Sons: Goldilocks. I highly recommend that Goldilocks is read first. Eve Marcoux does what she does best, takes you on a roller coaster of emotions and plot twists throughout the book. I found myself yelling at the characters when their flaws cause conflict, crying and cheering when they redeem themselves or triumph over difficult situations. I giggled at the all the “Princess Bride” references. If you are familiar with Eve’s other novels, Gray Hart: Love Bites and Ash and Crow Series, be sure to keep an eye peeled for special references to these works.
The last thing I want to mention: Be sure to read the trigger warnings. Mental heath is important.
