CODY: Sins of the Father
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Nicole James, comes a Single Mom MC Romance
Cody—
Whenever I’m in the area, I stop by and see Ryan’s grave. We went through basic training together, both signing up straight out of high school. We even got deployed together. After three years, we were both counting the days down until we’d be discharged.
That all changed the day an active shooter on base took his life.
A lot has changed in the three years since that awful day.
I prospected with the Evil Dead MC. And now I’m a full-patched member.
Now I’m a good soldier with loyalty to another organization—the club and my brothers.
I take a drag off my cigarette as I walk through the cemetery.
It’s chilly today with a snap in the air. The wind rips across my face as I follow the trail back to Ryan’s marker.
Burying my chin in my leather, I don’t look up until I’m almost upon it.
The woman standing at his grave has me halting in my tracks.
When she turns and looks at me, I recognize her face.
The bridge.
Almost a year ago I stopped this girl from jumping to her death in the cold, dark waters.
At the time, I hadn’t gotten her name, but her face kept nagging at me. She looked familiar, but at the time, I’d dismissed that as crazy. I was miles from home. Where would we have met?
Now it all makes sense.
She’s the woman in the photo Ryan had taped above his bed.
His girl.
The one he was supposed to marry.
The one who was carrying his child.
I can tell by the way her mouth parts that she remembers me, too.

Great read!
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: widow, dead best friends wife
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥
A pretty low angst read, considering the trope, lol. I enjoyed it. Lots of action. A quick and easy read - exactly what I was looking for. I did feel like the end was a bit abrupt, but other than that, it was good.

Love Cody’s story!
Cody and Heather‘s story starts unconventional but it’s very sweet! You sense from the very beginning that there is a solid connection and attraction between the two of them, but of course there’s gotta be a little drama involved as well! She’s so sad to make it on her own, but really comes into herself when she becomes part of the Evil Dead MC family. She is a sweet and sassy, single mom and on the run from a crazy pseudo ex boyfriend. He thinks she belongs to him and she’s never wanted any relationship with him. Cody and the rest of the MC helped to protect her and her son all the while she is falling in love with Cody. 💕

Two people meant to be together with a little divine intervention. Danger, making a new family and falling in love. Great series and characters. No cliffhanger and hea.
