I rebuilt my life in Laurel Springs after my divorce. Teaching high school, playing it safe, staying away from dangerous men like the one I married the first time. Then Dime walked into my world. He was everything I shouldn't want. With leather, muscle, and all kinds of secrets wrapped in a Saint's Outlaws MC cut. It's everything I can't seem to resist.
When my best friend tells me the truth about who Dime really is, I should walk away. But some danger is worth the risk. Or so I think, until one of my students decides that if he can't have me, no one can.
Logan Matthews has apparently been stalking me for months. He knows where I live. He knows about Dime. And now he's in my classroom convinced he can make me choose him. As sirens wail and his finger tightens on the trigger, my life flashes before my eyes.
Over the next few months, I realize this isn't just an obsession. It's connected to the marijuana operation killing kids in our town. The same operation Dime has been investigating.
In the aftermath, I make a choice. There are no more secrets. If we're going to survive this, I need to know who Dime really is. Even if the truth might destroy us.
DIME
Three years undercover, living as an outlaw, investigating what we think is the criminal empire infiltrating the town. I've kept my distance from anything that could blow my cover. Then Allison looked at me, and my carefully constructed life started crumbling.
When that kid pointed a gun at her, every instinct screamed to blow my cover and save her. Now Logan's been bailed out by the very family that's blowing up on our radar, and Allison wants the truth. All of it.
She deserves to know I'm a cop. That the brotherhood I've built with the Saint's Outlaws is real, even if my identity isn't. That I'll choose her over my badge, my mission, everything single thing, if it means keeping her alive.
Because in Laurel Springs, secrets surface. And some truths are worth killing for.

Dime and Allison are a perfect complement for each other. He is an undercover agent and she is a teacher. Dime has been undercover for several years when he met Allison and she never knew his real nature. All she knew was that he adored her and was oh so protective. When she gets caught in the crosshairs of a rivalry will he be able to protect her?
This is part two of a three-book arc, so be aware that the overarching storyline doesn’t resolve in this book. Also, you will need to read DEVIL’S DAMNATION before you read DIME’S DOZEN. The romantic relationship is already established when this book opens. It starts with the cliffhanger from the last book: a student, who is obsessed with Allison, threatens her with a firearm while he is under the influence of an unknown substance. Just as Dime and the police arrive, Allison shoves the student, preventing him from inserting lead into whoever is coming through the door, and the firearm engages. That was quite the closing scene and it’s still impactful as an opener. It’s also the most exciting part of the book as far as action goes. The big reveal, that Devil and Dime are both undercover cops, embedded for years in the Saints Outlaws, happened in the previous book. That and the fact that the establishment of the romantic relationship takes place off page and prior to the beginning of the story makes for an unusual sort of romance book. Strangely enough, it’s not boring. There’s a lot of discussion of the plot with the illegal substances flooding the area, and the rise of the rival MC. But it feels like this whole story should have been told in one book, because this book is a lot of downtime and a lot of off-page events. I’m giving it four stars because it’s NOT boring and because it advances the story arc overall. But it’s not a five-star book; it reads like a book fragment.

I absolutely loved this book and series so much and we are only on book two as the stories and characters come alive as you read the book and it is so addictive. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series by the incredible Laramie Briscoe.
This is the 2nd book in the Saint's Outlaws MC-Laurel Springs, AL Chapter series and it continues right where we left off at the end of the 1st book Devil's Damnation. This book grabs your attention from the very beginning when Allison is in a dangerous situation in her classroom at the HS and she wisely calls Dime on her cellphone so that he can hear what's happening. Dime and Allison have been getting to know each other for a while and she knows that he's the VP in the Saint's Outlaws MC with Devil but not that he's actually an undercover cop. Dime is trying to stop the flow of dangerous drugs like fentanyl that are inundating their town. Dime is keeping a lot of secrets and he's worried about how Allison would react if she knew the truth about him. Dime is also trying to figure out if he wants to stay an outlaw or stay on the right side of the law like he swore to. Everything changes though once Allison is in danger and Dime realizes just how much she means to him and it turns out that the student who's obsessed with Allison is involved in the investigation Dime's running. The twists and turns are very well written by Ms. Briscoe and the cliffhanger ending was unbelievable! I am really looking forward to the next book to see where the story goes from here. I would definitely recommend reading this book. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Book 2 in the series picks up with Dime and Allison trying to build a relationship. Dime has been working undercover in the Saints Outlaws MC while trying to build a relationship with Allison a strong independent woman who knows his secret. One incident with Allison at the school she teaches at with a student change everything for Dime and makes Allison his top priority along with figuring out what is going on in the town with the drug situation. The whole reason he is undercover. This is truly a story about love loyalty and connection. Allison and Dime have all three and these two figure it out along the way but watching them figure it out makes for one amazing story. I absolutely loved reading about Dime and Allison and how these two connect and see each other for who they really are past the secrets that they are keeping. There are twists and turns in this one that Laramie wrote quite well that some of them you dont even see coming. But it ends with quite the cliffhanging ending. I cannot wait to read the next one. Another great book in the Saints Outlaws MC - Laurel Springs chapter. Laramie brings out each and every character and has you engaged in the storyline and love story that she brings.

Allison is a teacher, she's going out with Dime who is an undercover policeman in a motorbike club, his partner and him are trying to bring down the local drug distribution centre, they are adding an ingredient into the drugs which is causing lots of hospitalisations. Allison knows he's undercover, although he hasn't told her yet. She's in her class when one of her pupils arrives looking as though he is high, he's obsessed and has been stalking her, things take a turn for the worse but she manages to stay calm. After the event she goes home with Dime and takes a few days to recover, she works on techniques from her therapist. She seems to have had a bad relationship with her parents and also been divorced. She's a strong independent woman. Dime has been undercover for several years and it is affecting how he feels about when the operation is over, he's not sure if he can go back to being a policeman or whether he's going to stay as a biker, he's found his family with the club, he hadn't had a proper one before. I was surprised to come to the end of the story, especially as we have to wait another year for the ending! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book is gritty, intense and suspenseful. Dime is a man caught between two loyalties, the law he swore to uphold and the Saint’s Outlaws MC that has become his family. Working undercover was never supposed to last nearly four years, nor was falling in love part of the plan. When Allison, the school teacher who snagged his heart, is attacked at school by a student high on drugs, Dime’s true priority becomes clear. He would blow his cover and alienate both the law and the MC in order to protect the woman who has claimed his heart.
An ultra protective and possessive Dime is impossible to resist and certainly melts my heart. Allison is a dedicated teacher, but the attack shakes her confidence and her nerve. Dime steps up to protect and care for her. He alone makes her feel safe. He has no idea that she knows his secret and has made a decision to stand by her man no matter what side he chooses. Their story includes a good bit of danger and suspense, but it is truly a story about love, loyalty and connections. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.
This thrilling and engrossing book has my recommendation. Please do read Devil’s Damnation first in order to get the full history behind the undercover investigation and the characters.
Laramie delivers another page turner! This is the second book of the Laurel Springs – Saints outlaws MC series, and I love to just as much as the first. Dime and Allison’s story started in Devils book but their love story launches into another level when she is in danger. She’s attacked by a student at school and Dime is there to help her recover every step of the way. Lines have begun to blur for Dime, where does his happiness lie, as a brother in the MC or the undercover cop he is supposed to be? He loves Allison fiercely and will do everything to keep her safe, while also trying to expose and bring down a rival MC who is dealing harsh drugs in their community. Will their relationship survive the lies he’s had to tell? Will the MC forgive him for the lies and deceit if he chooses them? It’s an MC story, love story, cop, story, and so much more! You feel the immense love the hero has for the heroine from the beginning!! I’d highly recommend reading book one before book 2 or you’ll be missing key pieces. This book also has nuggets of the laurel Springs cop community that is in other books, but you do not have to read them first in order to enjoy this one! But you really should go back and read them as well! You will not be disappointed!!

This is Book 2 of the Saint’s Outlaw MC series, Dime (Grant Swain) and Allison’s story. Allison is threatened by one of her students while under the influence of (suspected) fentanyl-laced marijuana. Dime proves he is the right man to stay by her side while she heals emotionally and physically.
My favourite part is when Dime is ready to confess all of his secrets to Allison and she is so nonchalant and accepting of him. She just casually tells him that she has already known for months.
I have highlighted so many quotes. This is one of my favorite, “Because that's what you do when you love someone. You stand by them, even when things get complicated. Even when they've been lying to you. Even when the future is uncertain and scary. You stand by them anyway.” This just warms my heart every time I read it.
Like Book 1, Book 2 ends on a sort of cliffhanger. I can’t wait for Book 3 to see how this series ends.

Dime's Dozen is the second book in The Saint's Outlaws MC - Laurel Springs, AL Chapter series. Not having read the first book in the series, Devil's Damnation, I was not sure what to expect. But as I have read a lot of Laramie Briscoe's books I knew I was going to have a good time....and I was right. The story is about Allison and Dime. I will warn that I discovered their story does start in Devil's Damnation, so you need to read it first. I did not do that so I did miss some things but I just went with and experienced the story as it unfolded. She is a high school teacher who is attacked by one of her students. Dime comes to her rescue and helps her recover. He is hiding a big secret and wrestling with some decisions of his own, as in where his loyalty lies and where he feels most at home. The story is well written, the characters are multi-dimensional and reveal things over time. I really enjoyed this book and will be picking up the next in the series to see what happens next.
This book picks up where the last ended and I didn’t need to re-read to remember what happened. Dime and Allison were a great couple who are falling in love. The story starts with Allison being confronted in her classroom by a student and we get to see Dime come to her rescue without revealing that he is an undercover cop.
Laramie is such a good storyteller and while this is an MC romance, it is so different from any that I have read before. Dime is a member of Saint’s Outlaws, but he is an undercover office who has infiltrated the club for the last 4 years. This story had many twists and turns that we don’t see coming, especially with other club members. While he is undercover, he is working with our favorite Police Chief, Menace, so we see a lot of him and it was good to see him and Karina now that they are older.
I recommend reading this book to get a different take on the MC genre… and that ending!!! Didn’t see that coming!! Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
We are seeing how being an undercover cop for four years as a MC member is becoming the norm. The issue over duty and need. Dime became a cop to help people, due his upbringing with a drug addicted mother. He came to do good and yet, the MC and brotherhood provides him with a family and security he always wanted, but is seriously involved in criminality. Allison is his anchor and her school exposure to danger, coupled with her need for a man who cares and protects entwines with his views. She accepts him for just being him. Now time is running out. What happens if heart rules head. If law guy turns criminal and which will he betray..decisions, decisions but for now he has a job to do and things are definitely changing within the club and outside of it. It is unclear yet who or where the dangers lay.
This is the second book in this amazing series, and this is Dime and Allison’s story. Allison has built a new life in Laurel Springs after her divorce, and is teaching at the high school, while Dime is working undercover as an outlaw. When Allison has a stalker, and when one of her students decides that if he cannot have her, nobody can, Dime is determined to protect her and keep her safe, but can he do that without blowing his cover? This is a well written story which has family, friendships, emotions, danger, suspense, intrigue, trauma, tension, secrets, angst, obsession, forced proximity, undercover, stalking, conflict, healing, second chances, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, and unpredictable small-town romance. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Dime's Dozen is book 2 in the Saint's Outlaws MC - Laurel Springs AL Chapter series written by the amazing author Laramie Briscoe. Another great read by Laramie Briscoe. We return to the small town of Laurel Springs, the home of those sexy amazing men from the LS Police Department and Rescue Team, their families and friends. Laramie has written an excellent story with new characters introducing a Motorcycle Club, The Saint’s Outlaws! This is Dime's and Allison book. This story was filled with twists and turns, drama, danger, secrets, lies, hot chemistry, and so much more. You won’t want to miss anything, no spoilers! Thanks Laramie Briscoe! Can’t wait for book 3. Must Read!! TROPES: Small Town Romance • Motorcycle Club Romance • Second Chance at Love • Undercover Cop • He Has Dangerous Secrets • Protective Alpha Hero • Stalker Suspense • Forced Proximity
This book had me hooked from the beginning. I could not put it down. Allison is a school teacher with a stalker student. When he pulls a gun on her, she does the only thing she knows to do and that is call on Dime to rescue her. The Saint’s Outlaws jump in to try to stop the bigger threat behind this student, the drugs being brought into the town and into the school. Too many have died from the fentanyl. Will Dime and Devil be able to straddle the line of law and outlaw without being discovered? How will Allison react when she finds out the truth? With the Saint’s putting it all on the line, will they survive or will the Rebels bring them down? This book does leave you wanting more with many questions still waiting to be answered in book 3!! I can’t wait. ***I would add a trigger warning for anyone sensitive to school shootings***
I liked Dime’s Dozen. Both Dime and Allison were good characters. Allison loved her job and was so good with the kids, you could tell she genuinely wanted what was best for them. She was really good at keeping a level head even in stressful situations. The trust she had in Dime was absolute even with the secrets, you could see how much she trusted him because he’d shown her the kind of man he was with his actions. Dime was a good hero and I really liked how much he adored Allison and looked after her. I think just like book 1 with Devil we saw Dime also struggling with a lot of the same moral dilemmas and it getting even closer to some hard decisions having to be made. I enjoyed the secondary characters and liked seeing my favourite characters from past books. I will be reading book 3.
Well now I can’t wait for the next one!! Dime and Allison met while Dime has been undercover to help break the case on a drug operation. However he’s been undercover long enough that the line between cop and cut is very gray. Allison ends up in the cross hairs when one of her students becomes obsessed with her and shows up under the influence of these drugs and is connected to the family that Dime’s case is trying to bring down. Both Allison and Dime have fallen in love but will she be safe? Will she be ok with Dime’s life choices and his being undercover?? They both treat each other with such respect and support for what the other person needs. You can’t help but hope they are both safe and together!
Allison experiences a traumatic incident at the school and as a result is recovering at Dime's place.
Dime is undercover for too long and is now struggling with his dual identity. The MC brothers feel more real and like a family than his colleagues on the force. Can he risk telling Allison? If he had a choice, which life would he freely live?
Allison escaped a bad marriage. Can she trust her feelings to a man who is living a lie?
Secrets are never good, and in this case, if discovered, may cost your life.
What!?! Did not expect that revelation in the final chapters. 😳
This book was hard to put down. A real page turner!.

This is the second in the Saint's Outlaws MC - Laurel Springs, AL Chapter, about Dime and Allison. Their story starts in Devil's Damnation, Devil and Dime are undercover cops who have been with the club about four years. Dime is afraid that Allison will not be able to forgive him when he tells her his secret. He and Devil took this assignment to get the drugs off the street. The more time they stay with the club the more they feel like it is home.
There are a lot of moving parts and other deceptions going on. This is an emotional story, the characters are great. Cannot wait to see where the story goes from here.

And here we go again with the dilemma! Which life is real? Who is he after all this time? A role or a man? Can he be both? Will she have him or is that too much to ask? Is he a selfish ass@#$e???
He has dangerous secrets too many for a simple teacher looking for quiet life. Thank God there's nothing simple with Allison! She's strong and resilient with a little help for the people who care about her.
She loves this protective alpha who's playing her hero ready to do anything, anytime necessary to keep her safe, in his hands.
I love motorcycle romance and Laramie Briscoe can surely provide an excellent one!.

Dime and Allison brave an unexpected storm that creates a ripple of tension right from the start. Despite the rocky beginning, the sweetness between them quickly takes center stage. Dime’s love for Allison is unwavering and heartfelt, adding a beautiful layer of devotion to their journey.
Even carrying her own trauma, Allison shows incredible strength. She becomes Dime’s pillar when the cracks begin to show, offering steadiness and support exactly when it’s needed most. Their bond feels genuine and hard-earned.
It’s a shorter read, but still delivers lingering danger and emotional depth that continues to unfold as the story progresses
Dime's Dozen was dramatic, action packed read that had me involved from the very first chapter. Great way to start a book.
Teacher Allison was caught off guard by a student who seemed to have been stalking her for a long while and was jealous of her relationship with biker Dime.
Dime had been undercover for several years when he met Allison. She never knew his real persona. She did know he was caring, kind and adored her as she did him. They had a real connection that I loved.
This book had loads of action and suspense, team spirit and a bit emotional at times, and especially a great romance.
Beautifully written, fantastic characters and a must read plot. Loved it!
This is book 2 in The Saints Outlaw MC. It’s part of Ms. Briscoe’s Laurel Springs Universe. We visit beloved characters and watch another generation grow into their own.
Dime is confused about a lot of things but his feelings for Allison is not one of them. When she is in danger he will burn down the world to keep her safe. When she learns his secrets and stays by his side the future and the questions that need answering take on a new life.
This is a touching story full of choices in life we don’t always imagine ever having to make. It is a great additional to Laurel springs and I can’t wait to see what happens in Lee’s story.
The second book in the Saint’s Outlaws MC - Laurel Springs, AL Chapter series and it did not disappoint.

grab this book and see if Allison and Dime get there happy ever after, or does it push them apart?
I can't wait to see how this next book ties this story together over all with the series
Laurel Springs - one of my favorite places to visit. This story is about Dime, an undercover cop living as part of the Saint's Outlaws MC, and Allison, a teacher. She gets attacked by a student while on school grounds and the student happens to be part of a family that Dime is investigating for drug trafficking.
Lies are inevitable and Dime has to walk that fine balance between work and his secret identity. When his identity is revealed, will the MC, as well as Allison, be forgiving? His love for Allison is undeniable; however, will she be able to trust in him.
A romantic suspense for sure -- a very enjoyable read.

Upon investigation it turns out that the student has a connection to Dime's investigation. Dime vows to keep Alli safe and moves her in with him.
This is a great read that ends on a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next book. I loved Allison and Dime as well as seeing other characters from previous Laurel Springs books.
Dime's Dozen (The Saint's Outlaws MC – Laurel Springs, AL Chapter Book 2) picks up where Devils Domination ends. Allison suffers trauma and is working on recovering. Dime is doing everything he can to take care of her. But it’s not as simple as it seems. He feels immense guilt for keeping so many secrets, not to mention the internal conflict he’s feeling about a major choice he will have to make.
