Shotgun Saints MC #2
Banshee
He made a vow at her grave. Her best friend is about to break it.
Banshee
I haven't taken off my wedding ring in five and a half years.
Haven't slept through the night. Haven't answered a phone call without my hands shaking. Haven't let a woman close enough to touch the wreckage my wife left behind when she died on a rain-soaked highway with my name as the last word on her lips.
I had rules. The ring stays on. The walls stay up. The grief stays mine.
Then her best friend showed up.
Bex Dalton is everything Rose wasn't—dark, rough, stubborn as hell, built like a woman who fights the world with her bare hands and wins. She came back to Sharp for Rose's dying father, not for me. She made that real clear.
Doesn't matter. I watch her anyway. Watch her bend steel and gentle my horses and stand her ground against men twice her size. Watch her grieve the same woman I grieve and pretend she's not falling apart.
She was the reason Rose was on that road. I was the reason Rose was on that phone.
We're both guilty. Both broken. Both starving for something we have no right to take from each other.
I'm going to take it anyway.
And the ring is coming off.

Yikes. It had potential to be angsty but...I expected more. I don't relish the idea of sharing your man with a ghost. It’s hard to root for a relationship when one half of the couple hasn’t truly moved forward. Instead of an uplifting second-chance romance, I felt like I was watching a woman settle for half a heart.
The relationship between Lee and Bex felt secondary to their mourning. And it comes down to the "Rose Factor". Yes, I know how that sounds. I’m absolutely sympathetic to her tragic death. But I needed more of Lee and Bex as a couple. More shared joy. More undeniable passion. More proof of a powerful love that belonged solely to them and wasn’t tethered to Rose’s memory. Instead, the relationship felt rushed and fragile. A couple of intimate moments and suddenly we’re supposed to believe they're in love?
It felt like Lee and Bex only gravitated towards each other because they both can't let go of Rose. It was basically a love triangle with a dead woman. Rose is present in their thoughts, their conversations, their memories—nearly every chapter, all the way into the epilogue. For me, it became excessive. Don't get me started on him still wearing his wedding ring while being intimate with Bex nearly to the end. And for her to be ok and not make a peep about it. What!? She is a better woman than me. I'd be deuces Lee, my soulmate is waiting for me! 👋
Lastly, and I'm sorry if it makes me heartless & unreasonable. I've yet to see this in any romance books and my jaw dropped. But Lee transferring his ring to his right hand instead of removing it, leaving his left hand “free” for Bex. The whole “left hand for the future, right hand for the past” monologue? It didn’t feel romantic. It felt like a glaring red flag.
If my partner moved his previous wedding ring to the other hand instead of taking it off--while expecting me to accept that symbolism--I would be out the door. That isn’t honoring the past. It’s refusing to let go of it. Especially after Bex had already reassured him that Rose would always live in his heart, that a ring was just metal when he agonized over removing it. She was understanding and compassionate. And yet he still pulls this move without even considering how she might feel? That didn’t sit right with me and unfair to both women. What if something happens to Bex in the future? He'll move this ring next to Rose and make room for the next person? Just no!
Epilogue --6 months later his left hand still bare, while Rose's ring glinted on his right. 🙄 Man, I feel depressed. Bex, girl you deserved better.

Elizabeth dumps a bucket of loss on our heads in first chapter itself and the rest of the book has characters finding their way towards each other and life through the thick fog of grief.
There's A lot going on Earl's ranch. His daughter Rose was cruelly taken from him and the impact gives him third stage colon cancer, that spreads fast.
Bex Dalton limps back to nurse him and the ranch on their last legs.
Lee is still tied to his wife's ghost which makes him a dead man walking. But Bex stirs up something and despite his stubborn denial, fate takes a match to the dry kindling emotions.
It takes a lot of unburdening of past baggage to find their HEA. The slow burn keeps it angsty and alive
Narration by Mia Moreno is really good, tor Thom sadly has a monotonous voice and hardly any emotion creeps in.
“4 star for the damn ring”

BANSHEE is book 2 of the Shotgun Saints MC series. This was quite the emotional read. LEE "Banshee" is a hunky biker still grieving the loss of his wife Rose from an accident 5 years ago. Bex is Rose's best friend who comes home to help care for Rose's dad. She too is still grieving the loss of her bestie. Her and Banshee bond through their grief. This was a tear jersey.

This delivers an emotional story centered on grief, healing, and finding the courage to love again. Lee and Bex's journey wasn't always easy, but it felt heartfelt and believable.
I really enjoyed the family dynamic within the MC, and seeing familiar faces from the first book made the story even more enjoyable. The romance had plenty of emotional depth along with the steam 've come to expect from the series.
The audiobook was a highlight for me. Mia Moreno and Tor Thom gave excellent duet performances that made the emotions and chemistry between the characters feel authentic. Their narration kept me engaged from beginning to end.
While enjoyed the story overall, there were a few moments that felt slower than I would have liked, and found myself wanting a little more development in certain parts of the relationship. Even so, the emotional payoff was worth it.
Overall, Banshee is a heartfelt MC romance with memorable characters, strong narration, and plenty of emotion. I'm looking forward to continuing the Shotgun Saints MC series.

4.8 For a Cowboy MC Romance book, this was beautifully written.

Finding love after tragically losing your first love is always heartbreaking.
Elizabeth Knox did a phenomenal job showcasing the devastating aftermath of grief and loss, along with the ugly ways depression can manifest through overwhelming emotions, guilt, and self-destruction.
Banshee has spent five years grieving the loss of his wife while pushing away the one person who understands his pain: his wife’s former best friend, Bex, who has repeatedly tried to reconnect and be there for him as they both navigate their shared loss.
I really enjoyed watching Lee and Bex learn to process their grief and accept that they deserve happiness, even while carrying the weight of losing someone they loved so deeply. However, I did feel that the progression of their romantic relationship moved a little too quickly for my personal preference.
These characters spent five years completely disconnected, and within only a few weeks of Bex returning, their relationship began progressing in a way that made it difficult for me to fully root for them romantically. I think having more time dedicated to rebuilding their friendship before exploring their romantic connection would have helped me form a deeper emotional attachment to their relationship.
I did enjoy seeing the contrast between Bex and Rose. Bex’s fierce, unconventional personality was such a refreshing contrast to the person Rose was, and I loved seeing how differently they approached life. I also felt both Bex’s and Lee’s pain, especially when it came to Rose’s father and his terminal illness. The emotional weight was there, but I think more time between the characters would have allowed me to connect with them on a deeper level.
The progression of their relationship was filled with moments of hesitation, guilt, and longing—they spend time tiptoeing around their feelings, finally give in, Lee pulls away, and the cycle continues. And while I understand why those choices were made, I personally would have preferred more of the rebuilding process between them before the romance took center stage.
One of my favorite details was that Lee continued wearing his wedding ring. That small detail really highlighted the complexity of his grief and how difficult it was for him to move forward. However, the number of times Bex brought attention to it started to feel a bit repetitive for my personal taste.
The pacing in the beginning was strong and helped move the story along. However, because the characters connected romantically relatively early, the pacing toward the end felt a bit anticlimactic. The emotional climax happened, but there were still several chapters afterward that felt more like an extended epilogue rather than a continuation of the story.
Now, the narration?
5/5 stars.
Mia Moreno’s performance made me feel even more connected to Bex than I think I would have just reading the book, which honestly says a lot. Tor Thom also delivered an incredible performance as Banshee. I could feel his pain through the emotional scenes, and there were moments where I genuinely felt like I was experiencing his grief alongside him. 😭
Overall, this was a unique love story centered around grief, healing, and learning that it’s okay to love again. The spice was well written, and the chemistry between the characters was undeniable. My only critique (which probably comes as no surprise) is that I would have loved more buildup to the romance.
My obsession with slow burn is no joke, and I truly think it has ruined my expectations because all I want is to suffer while screaming at two characters to admit their feelings—only for them to finally get together when I’m already hanging off the edge of my seat. 😂

Banshee is book 2 in the Shotgun Saints MC series by Elizabeth Knox.
After Lee's wife unexpectedly passed away in a car accident, he became a shell of the man he was. He closes out his friend’s, father in law, and even his wife’s best friend, Bex. Bex tried to stay in touch, but Lee wasn’t having it. Now Bex is back in town, and Lee is forced to confront his demons and his wife’s ghost that has been haunting him. Bex is equally hurt, but she’s a force to be reckoned with. She has managed her grief on her own for so long, that she has a tough exterior. Now that they are forced to work together, will they be able to move on from the past to seek a future with each other or will the ghost always be haunting them?
I liked this story even more than book 1 in the series. The emotional aspect of it left me in tears more than once! I wanted Lee and Bex together so bad, so I was ecstatic when they gave into their connection! Lee & Bex’s story ripped me apart and put me back together! This was a raw and emotional story about healing and moving forward after loss. I can’t wait for more from this series!
Banshee is narrated in duet by Tor Thom and Mia Moreno. This was my first time listening to Mia and she was incredible! The way she perfectly captured Bex was amazing. I can’t wait to listen to more from her! Tor did a wonderful job bringing Lee’s turmoil and struggles to life. Both narrators performed their roles with the perfect amount of angst and emotion.

I knew Banshee's story was going to be good by reading Shadow - there was something about him that caught my attention. What I was not expecting was such an emotional story. This book had me in a strong grip, and it did not want to let go.
Banshee has been grieving the loss of his wife for five years and, at the same time, isolating himself like he is the only one allowed to grieve. During that period, his wife's best friend, Bex, has been trying to reach out to him with no luck until she finally came back to town for work and to take care of Rose's dying dad, Earl.
This is not going to be your typical love story. This is a story of two people coming together over their shared grief. Banshee is constantly comparing Bex & Rose and battling against his new feelings towards Bex, while Bex faces her own insecurities... would her best friend be OK with this?
Rose's memory lingers so much in everything they do that at one point, you'll find yourself thinking this relationship is between three people and not two. But in my opinion, that's exactly how it should play out. Two people who loved the same person so much should not overlook that love and dive into a hot, steamy relationship without having conflicting emotions and inner turmoil. All of this makes the story raw, real, and a bit forbidden at first, plus it leads them down a path of acceptance & healing.
I also loved how Elizabeth Knox gives us the right amount of steam and passion, not so much that it takes away from the emotional impact the story truly has.
Once again, I will say this: the Shotgun Saints club is not just a group of male chauvinists but an actual family with respect towards women and each other. They take care of their own, and you can sense that even more with this book. The way everyone came together for those they love was beautiful.
And let's not talk about everyone's relationship with Earl... this is where Knox really did me dirty. Earl is terminally ill, and the way Bex was there and cared for him, it broke me, as it resonated with my own personal experiences. Queue in the waterworks!
The audiobook performances were fantastic. Mia Moreno & Tor Thom?! Perfection.
While there are so many wonderful female narrators out there, no one comes close to Mia Moreno in my opinion. She pours her heart and soul into each character, and you can tell. Her rendition of Bex was beautiful, powerful, and emotional.
And I could listen to Tor Thom for hours... this man's voice is flawless. Great pacing & consistency, plus he played all the male side characters very well, as they all had distinct voices and could be easily told apart.
One thing they both did that I loved was that they really locked down Grace & Shadow's tones from the previous book's narration. While it may not seem like a big deal to some, it is to me. Sometimes when you listen to books of a series and have different narrators, different tones for the same characters can create a sort of disconnect from the overall narrative, IMO.
Thank you to BNA for the ALC of this book and the excellent audio production quality.
As always, my opinions are my own!

🤍🐎 Two people bound by the same loss, carrying the same guilt, and finding healing where neither of them expected it. 🐎🤍
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)
Spice-meter: 🌶️🌶️☆☆☆ (2/5)
Audiobook: 🎧 Duet
Series: Shotgun Saints MC, Book 2 (interconnected standalone)
HEA: Yes
Banshee is an emotional story about grief, guilt, and second chances. Set in the gritty world of the Shotgun Saints MC, it blends contemporary romance with western influences, found family, and emotional healing. Rather than relying on constant action, this story focuses on two deeply broken people learning how to move forward after an unimaginable loss.
Banshee and Bex's relationship is built on shared grief and understanding. Both carry overwhelming guilt over Rose's death, making their journey toward forgiveness and healing feel authentic. I especially appreciated how the emotional weight remained at the center of the story, allowing their romance to develop naturally instead of overshadowing the healing process.
That said, I was a little disappointed by the resolution of the farm conflict. After so much build-up, I expected higher stakes and a more intense payoff. Everything wrapped up a bit too easily, and I would have loved to see more tension before the final resolution.
What I Loved
✔️ Emotional exploration of grief and healing
✔️ Broken characters finding hope again
✔️ Found family vibes
✔️ Western ranch setting with MC elements
✔️ Strong emotional connection between the MCs
✔️ Themes of forgiveness and second chances
🎧 Narration
Performed in duet by Mia Moreno and Tor Thom.
Mia Moreno delivers Bex's strength and vulnerability beautifully, capturing both her resilience and the pain she's been carrying for years. Tor Thom's deep, commanding voice fits Banshee perfectly, balancing his quiet grief with the protective, rugged cowboy beneath it all. Together they bring plenty of emotion to the heavier moments and make the audiobook an engaging listen.
Tropes & Vibes
✔️ Friends to Lovers
✔️ Widow Romance
✔️ Best Friend's Widow Connection
✔️ Cowboy Romance
✔️ MC Romance
✔️ Opposites Attract
✔️ Found Family

Final Thoughts
Banshee is a heartfelt romance that puts healing ahead of drama and delivers an emotional journey about learning to live again after devastating loss. While I wished the external conflict had a stronger payoff, the emotional core of the story kept me invested from beginning to end.
If you enjoy broken heroes, grief-filled second chances, cowboy romances with MC elements, found family, and stories where healing is just as important as the romance, Banshee is definitely worth picking up.

Banshee (Shotgun Saints MC, Book 2) absolutely wrecked me in the best possible way. I went in prepared for emotion after reading Shadow, because Knox didn’t exactly hide that Banshee’s story was going to carry weight. What I wasn’t prepared for was how hard it would hit. I had tears… real tears. And as a true Elizabeth Knox fan, I can say this with my whole chest: she has fully proven that a Cowboy MC series can not only work, it can shine.
This installment leans heavily into healing and grief, and the emotional stakes are what drive the story forward. There’s some action, mainly sparked by one truly stupid person who thinks they can test the Shotgun Saints and live to brag about it. however, the heart of the book is the internal battle: the kind of grief that changes people, the kind of pain that doesn’t follow anyone else’s timeline, and the way outsiders love to make assumptions about what “moving on” is supposed to look like. Knox doesn’t romanticize trauma, and she doesn’t rush recovery. She lets it be messy, layered, and painfully real.
Earl, Bex, and Banshee (Lee) are written with so much relational depth that you feel like you’re watching people, not just characters, fight for a way back to themselves. The relationships in this book are especially strong: complicated, tender, sometimes raw, but always grounded in the kind of loyalty and love that feels unpretentious and earned. And then there’s the romance: hot, intense, and emotionally binding. It seems forbidden at first, like it might be inappropriate, too easy, or too quick, but it isn’t. There are real barriers here, real fears, real consequences, and that tension makes every step toward connection matter.
The ending took me out again. Seeing Shadow and Grace’s son born (a beautiful callback to Book 1), and then that quiet, powerful moment with baby Braxton lying on Uncle Shadow’s chest? It felt like past and present colliding in a single scene, grief and joy in the same breath, and it gave me that rare sense of hope that a series like this can deliver when it’s done right.
I read Banshee in one sitting because once it digs in, it doesn’t let go. It’s emotional, character-driven, and deeply satisfying for readers who want their MC romance to have heart beneath the heat.
Five stars, easily. Elizabeth Knox hit a home run again.
And yes… I’m already eyeing Phantom, book three in the series, with a mix of excitement and dread. I want Phantom and Jolene back together so badly, but I can see the storm coming, and I’m trying to go in braced.

He made a vow at her grave. Her best friend is about to break it.
Banshee
I haven't taken off my wedding ring in five and a half years.
Haven't slept through the night. Haven't answered a phone call without my hands shaking. Haven't let a woman close enough to touch the wreckage my wife left behind when she died on a rain-soaked highway with my name as the last word on her lips.
I had rules. The ring stays on. The walls stay up. The grief stays mine.
Then her best friend showed up.
Bex Dalton is everything Rose wasn't—dark, rough, stubborn as hell, built like a woman who fights the world with her bare hands and wins. She came back to Sharp for Rose's dying father, not for me. She made that real clear.
Doesn't matter. I watch her anyway. Watch her bend steel and gentle my horses and stand her ground against men twice her size. Watch her grieve the same woman I grieve and pretend she's not falling apart.
She was the reason Rose was on that road. I was the reason Rose was on that phone.
We're both guilty. Both broken. Both starving for something we have no right to take from each other.
I'm going to take it anyway.
This contemporary Shotgun Saints MC friends-to-lovers western cowboy, opposites attract widow romance is page-turning with exceptional world-building that is engulfed by darkness, danger, violence, and grit, and characters who are an alpha male exuding power, a cowboy who is broken/female heroine who was the best friend of the wife who died, who are both captivating, resilient, and realistic. Their journey is enthralling with banshee, explicit romance that is consumed by steamy, sizzling passion, lust, desire, and spice with all the feelings to leave readers breathless and begging for more, forced proximity, humor, chaos/drama, heartfelt emotions/emotional depth, action/adventure, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her readers' hearts and attention with a banshee and an explicit Shotgun Saints MC friends-to-lovers western cowboy, opposites attract widow romance Western/cowboy romance that is sure to transport readers into a world that is wildly lustful, emotional, and unforgettable.

Banshee gave me so much more emotionally than I was expecting.
We met Banshee in Shadow as this loyal and stable friend, but you could tell there was something under the surface. Getting his story and seeing just how much of his life has been built around avoiding his past made me hurt for him. He keeps moving and buries himself in work because slowing down means he might actually have to deal with everything he has boxed away.
I loved how much grief was allowed to exist in this story. Bex is such a great FMC, she isn't a weak FMC, she is so tough carrying more than she should have to. I loved how she pushed back and absolutely laid into him for ignoring everything and leaving her to do everything alone. She had this found family that broke so hard and loss that lingered. She is trying to continue forward while still carrying that person with her, and I felt so much for her.
Watching these two find each other felt right because neither one needed someone to magically fix them. Nor would either of them accepted that kind of resolve as they both were laying on a cross that wasn't there's to bear. There is so much healing happening throughout their relationship, but they still have to make choices about what comes next and what they are willing to face.
And Earl. 😭 His part in this story was intense, but I genuinely don't think this HEA would have felt the same without him. This solid voice of reason that can only come from a character in this unique circumstance was so beautifully written. The way everything came together for Banshee made me so happy.
The audio absolutely elevated this story for me. Mia Moreno brought so much depth to Bex, capturing both her strength and the quiet weight of everything she was carrying. You could feel her grief, her frustration, and her resilience in every scene, and it made Bex feel incredibly real. Tor Thom was equally incredible as Banshee. He delivered so well a man that is so trapped under the weight of his grief that you can hear it in the way he delivers Banshee. The way he handled the quieter, more vulnerable moments made them so powerful to listen to. Together, Mia and Tor created such a powerful listening experience that pulled me even deeper into the story.
Tropes: MC romance, cowboy romance, healing and grief, protecting a ranch, horse rescuer x horse farrier, found family

🎧 Audio Review 🎧
Banshee is #2 of the Shotgun Saints MC series by Elizabeth Knox and although standalone, I would recommend you read them in order.
This is very different from book 1 in its tone and focuses on the cowboy side of the club, so if you are into horses you will absolutely love this one. Both Banshee and Bex have such a way with horses that ultimately, I think this is what brings them together.
Banshee is the road captain who you meet in book 1 and you know there is a back story and what an emotional one it is – full of loss, pain, guilt and learning to love again. Please watch for triggers – death of a loved one, grief and cancer.
Banshee’s love of his life, Rose, dies suddenly and it’s his way of dealing with grief that is so sad, cutting himself off from anyone who counts. Bex, who was Rose’s best friend since the age of 8 and “adopted” by her family, is also dealing with the grief and over the years tries to contact Banshee, without success.
They are reunited due to the ill health of Rose’s father when she returns to town to look after him. Unfortunately, both believe that in their own way they are responsible for Rose’s death (which clearly, they are not) and it is watching and waiting until Banshee finds his way back to living life again and both Bex and he realise that they have another chance of happiness with Rose’s blessing, which is magical.
I loved how Earl waited patiently for the prodigal son but I would have liked to hear how he transferred the land to Bex or Banshee. I also felt that the “baddie” got off far too easily after the intimidation that he had put Earl and Bex through. I was also surprised that Lee didn’t beat the living daylights out of Mr Handsy.
The epilogue was wonderful though and the scene with Uncle Lee and Braxton was just adorable and brought the story full circle and a very happy conclusion. I’m now waiting to read Phantom’s book as I am sure that will be full of surprises too!
The #duetnarration was great by Tor Thom and new to me Mia Moreno who was excellent and I shall be looking out for other books that she narrates with interest.
Thank you Blue Nose Audio for giving me the opportunity of listening to this excellent book!

Banshee by Elizabeth Knox Book 2 in the Shotgun Saints MC series
Performed in duet by Mia Moreno and Tor Thom
Buckle up, buttercups: Elizabeth is going to take us for a ride through death, grief and bottling up emotions, leading to an explosive, raging fire of feelings.
We start out with Banshee taking a phone call from his wife, Rose, who is on her way to dinner with her best friend/sister since childhood, Bex Dalton. On a rainy night on the freeway, the roads are slick, and tragedy strikes. Banshee is on the phone when all this happens. Banshee and his best friend Shadow race to the accident scene. Fast forward 5 years.
Bex returns home to care for Earl, Rose's father, the man who also raised Bex, who is dying of cancer. For the past 5 years she has carried the guilt and grief of her best friend's death. She has left between 60-65 voice mails for Banshee. He has never listened to them.
So he was blindsided when he ran into Bex at the feed store.
Mia Moreno as Bex was an excellent choice; she conveyed the emotional rollercoaster of emotions. She dealt with maintaining medical appointments and keeping the farm from falling apart. By throwing herself into the work she loves.
Tor Thom as Banshee brings the grit and no nonsense cowboy/biker/road captain. While he was busy grieving in his own way he forgot about others who loved Rose just as much if not more, than he did. They lost Rose too.
Grief is not a competitive sport. Earl lost his daughter, and he lost his son when Banshee just disappeared. Bex lost her sister and friend.
The banter back and forth and the love hate relationship Bex and Banshee had going on was brilliant. It was nice to see Grace and Shadow gently guide them. They weren't forcefully pushing them together.
Granted I was/still not a fan of him keeping the ring on his right hand, but i understand why he did.
Story line 4.75
Performance 5
Spice level: low; it was part of the storyline nothing graphic.
I truly enjoyed this book. Thank you Blue Nose for the ALC

Banshee is the second audiobook in Elizabeth Knox’s western-themed MC romance series, Shotgun Saints MC. This story features Lee, aka Banshee, who is the road captain for the Shotgun Saints, and Bex, best friend to Banshee’s late wife and a talented farrier. Lee’s wife lost her life in a car accident on a dark, rainy highway five and a half years ago. By all accounts, the man Lee had been—the husband, the man with an easy smile who was quick to laugh, the man capable of love—disappeared that same night. Now all that remains is Banshee, a man who would rather talk to horses than people. This story deals with grief in a respectful but brutally honest fashion. Some of the statements made in this book about grief are among the most impactful I’ve read. “Grief isn’t a thing you get over. It’s a thing you absorb. It gets into the soil of you, changes the composition, and everything that grows after comes up differently.” Those of us who’ve experienced the life-changing loss of a loved one know just how very true this is. Another statement that really struck straight to the heart of me related to occasions like birthdays and holidays, saying the milestones that used to be celebrations are now just days that must be survived. This story, as a whole, is just so well written and leaves a lasting impression. The characters are raw and real and honest as they demonstrate the metamorphosis of their hearts, minds, and souls as they find a way to live through the grief and truly embrace life and love again. I absolutely loved this story! I’m a huge fan of a well-earned and fought-for HEA, and this story certainly gives you that in spades. And adding to the profound impact of this touching story is the amazing duet-style narration from Mia Moreno and Tor Thom. They both deliver incredibly-moving and authentic performances that make you truly feel every word and emotion. Highly recommend!

Banshee & Bex: a story of pain, healing, found family & second chances in life!
What a heartfelt story this one was! This story is more about healing and emotions than Shotgun Saints danger and action – although there is some of that too – and the fact that pain, grief and devastation can reshape someone but, ultimately, don’t break them. The story is a bit taboo, one would say, since Banshee (Lee) lost his beloved wife, Rose, in a car accident 5.5 years ago and pushed away everyone connected to her; Earl, his father-in-law, and Bex Rose’s best friend since childhood – more of a sister than anything else. A complicated emotional turmoil takes place when Bex comes back to Sharp to work as a farrier but mostly to take care of a cancer ridden Earl. She works in Lee’s farm and forces him to confront his emotions and made him realize two important things. That grief and devastation over a beloved one’s death can reshape you but don’t break you and that there will always be room for love inside someone – the room doesn’t replace the old one but it expands to include the new and coexists with the past one. I loved how Lee managed to understand this and when he did, he was 100% there. Bex was not a consolation prize or a dirty little secret. And neither was he. I loved how they found their way to a HEA, how their unique family evolved. Everything was presented in such a way that it was natural, an evolution than anything else, so the taboo factor of late wife’s best friend didn’t sting. It was celebrated. Lee is not the man Rose fell in love with. This is a different version of him, Bex’s version. This story gutted me to the core and I enjoyed every second. 5 stars unquestionably from me!

BANSHEE is the second instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult SHOTGUN SAINTS MC romance series, a ranching MC, a next generation spin off set in the author’s REAPER’S REJECTS world. This is Shotgun Saints MC road captain Lee ‘Banshee’ Simms, and farrier Bexley “Bex’ Dalton’s story line. BANSHEE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Lee and Bex) BANSHEE follows five and half years after the accident that took the life of Banshee’s wife Rose. Withdrawing from family and friends, Banshee went about day to day without acknowledging the people in his life. Fast forward to present day, a ghost from the past returns, Rose’s best friend Bex, the woman with whom Banshee will fall in love. Bex doesn’t have time to tip toe around her late friend’s husband but when a local rancher sets his eyes on Rose’s father’s ranch, Banshee and the Shotgun Saints MC rally to protect the man everyone had loved.
The world building focuses on grief and loss, friendships and family as Banshee struggles to move on from the past but when someone threatens the father of the woman he loved, Banshee becomes guardian and protector.
The secondary and supporting characters include the return of MC president Phantom, enforcer Shadow and his wife Grace, as well as the introduction of Banshee’s father in law Earl. The requisite evil has many faces.
BANSHEE is a story of grief and loss, family and struggle, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is once again, limited but seductive; the characters are broken but fighting to heal.

Fast forward to present day, a ghost from the past returns, Rose’s best friend Bex, the woman with whom Banshee will fall in love. Bex doesn’t have time to tip toe around her late friend’s husband but when a local rancher sets his eyes on Rose’s father’s ranch, Banshee and the Shotgun Saints MC rally to protect the man everyone had loved.
The world building focuses on grief and loss, friendships and family as Banshee struggles to move on from the past but when someone threatens the father of the woman he loved, Banshee becomes guardian and protector.
The secondary and supporting characters include the return of MC president Phantom, enforcer Shadow and his wife Grace, as well as the introduction of Banshee’s father in law Earl. The requisite evil has many faces.
BANSHEE is a story of grief and loss, family and struggle, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is once again, limited but seductive; the characters are broken but fighting to heal.

This book is what Elizabeth Knox is all about. This is full, deep, nuanced character. This is feeling deep and hard. This is about people and storytelling and words that don’t leave you when the book is over.
I cried through a lot of it, not gonna lie. The grief was beautifully drawn and so vivid. I smiled through a lot of it. The joy of coming back to life despite the birthing pains. And I melted. Because from the way they looked at each other to the way they were each other’s air was stunning.
Banshee lost his wife five and a half years ago. At the same time, Bex lost the sister of her heart. With the help of a caring MC, an ill man who loved them both, and some very special rescue horses, they find their way into each other’s hearts.
I loved this book. A good book makes you feel, and by those lights, this is a darned good book.
There was plot as well as character development. Three main plotlines: an Ebil land buyer, a wounded horse, and a dying man, all wrapped into the story of people moving past grief into living again. It was never boring, and that’s saying something, seeing as how I have the attention span of a chipmunk on speed (ADHD is real, y’all) and I got so focused on this story that I plumb forgot it was past my bedtime and I have to be up early. Worth it.
Cat’s Stats
Book is SAFE.
PASSES the Bechdel test.
Heat is EXPLICIT. And excellent.
TRIGGERS include grief, abused horses, cancer, death, and mild violence.
TROPES include Best Friend’s Widower, Love After Loss, MC Romance, Found Family, A Horse Is a Horse (of course, of course), Cowboy.

Arc Review
I know I reiterate but Elizabeth does clearly state her “trigger warnings” a change in pace here - survivors guilt.
As stated this is book 2 in the series and you needed to have read book 1 to understand the foundations set for The Shotgun Saints MC. No cheating as this won’t prove a reading point.
Life is generous to us and it all depends on how we treat each day. It may be simple and it can be cruel. For 5.5 yrs, life was cruel to Banshee -Lee. A loss which constantly replayed on him.
As Road Captain, he knows the roads and all their imperfections and smooth tar. It was on these roads that he lost his treasure - Rose.
Choices - good/bad, can never be altered. It is how you are able too live with them now.
Bex - farrier. Taught by Earl, Rose’s father has come full circle. What has brought her back and will things change for her?
An emotional introduction. An understanding of who Banshee - Lee is/was. The choices he made 5.5 yrs ago. A life living in a tourniquet. This is how Banshee survives day by day.
I hope I didn’t spoil as there in nothing worse than having the plot spread out. I threw out crumbs allowing the reader to form their opinion.
What I will say, the Shotgun Saints MC is on a different scale compared to the Raiders MC and counter charters. Here, this MC is dedicated to the land as ranchers. Yes, they do have stables - horses and cattle. A different leaf into the MC world.
No cliffhanger, but the series does continue. Phantom needs to let us know what actually happened.

Bex has come home. She has come to look after Earl, her bestfriend Rose's father. A man who was more of a parent to her than her own. Both Earl and Bex have grieved for Rose, who died 5 years ago.
Banshee, lost in grief when Rose died, walked away from Earl, who considered him a son, and Bex, once they laid her to rest. People he should have been with to help ease the grief, but for him, made the grief worse. He's ignored Bex over this time, every time she reached out to him. He couldn't open that door to let them back in, as that just reminded him of his loss. But that's about to change when he comes face-to-face with her.
Banshee has to face what he has done over the past 5 years. People he should have been there for and wasn't, knowing Rose would be unhappy at what he had done. But what's more confusing and hard for him to acknowledge is his feelings for Bex, his wife's best friend, someone who should be off-limits.
But he also has to face Earl, the person he should have been helping over this time.
This is an emotional storyline. Grief, friendship, loss, and family, how all four can affect people in different ways. Grief doesn't have an end date, but over time, hopefully, you will come to accept what has happened and remember the love that person shared with you, which you hold in your heart, and the memories you will always hold dear.

This is the second book of the series and I really recommend that you read them in order. Even though each couples story is its own standalone there is club life, and a bit of backstory that unfolds with the series. You meet banshee in the first book and get a glimpse into what’s coming. He married his first love, and was widowed unexpectedly and horrifically. He has never really recovered. For years, he is still worn the ring and carried the ghost. Then she shows up and makes him want things that he thought he’d forgotten. She was his wife’s best friend, and though he turned away from her at the time now it’s starting to feel like a second chance and not a betrayal. She loved her best friend and never thought of him in any other way than as her husband but now they’ve both been alone and she’s back in town and they can’t help but keep brushing up against each other… but they have to figure out a way to put the ghost aside and look for today. This is a romance for sure. But it is also an incredibly deep and feeling story about grief. Where other stories might touch on it I feel like this one really gets into the raw and the complexities, the feelings of guilt, and the desire to feel love again. It really is a beautiful story.

✨️📖 On To The Book Review 📖✨️
This was a book that you get hit right in the beginning with the hardest part. But you are able to see the background between characters and then it comes full circle!
It was hard to hear his pain when he couldn't help but think about the hardest parts, but sweetest when you are able to see both MC's finally give into what they have been feeling.
She was exactly what he needed, and they made the perfect couple. Her being an amazing ferrier had a little bit to do with it, but mostly they made it work for each other.
I absolutely GOBBLED this book up and was sooo sad when the end of the final chapter!!

This is the second book in the series and is a heart wrencher. Banshee lost his wife, Rose and himself over five years ago. He still wears his wedding ring, vowing never to remove it, and remains suspended in his grief.
Bex, Rose's best friend feels guilty as Rose was driving in the rain to meet her for dinner. She calls Lee frequently at first and as the years pass, the calls taper off. Eventually, haunted by too many memories of Rose, Bex moves away.
When Bex finds out that Rose's father is sick, she packs up and comes back home where it is inevitable that she'll run into Lee. When Banshee finds out that Earl is sick, he still can't bring himself to visit but when Earl, his farm, and by extension, Bex are threatened, Banshee finally steps up bringing his MC brothers with him.
Lee and Bex begin to see each other as individuals and not just as Rose's husband and her best friend. Both fight their attraction to one another but eventually succumb to their feelings.
This is a deep, heart wrenching book about love, loss, grief, and moving on. Make sure to have a box of tissues at hand as this book hits hard and I cried from beginning to end.

Banshee/Lee is at the clubhouse playing poker when his wife calls. He answers they talk then he hears the tires change tone and his wife call his name then a crash. His brothers come outside when they hear his yelling. His best friend gets him in the truck and they go to the crash site. She's gone. The impact was on the driver's side. He shuts down.
Bex was Banshee's wife's best friend from the age of 8. She has drowned in grief because she was the reason her friend was on the road. At one point she sees Banshee's eyes which show that he feels she's the reason his wife is dead.
For five and a half years he's held himself so tight that it was like a corpse walking. He handles the horses. He built a rescue. Then the club vet tells him the horses need a ferrier and she has one coming.
How will he live with the reason his wife died? How can he face the truths she tells him? How does he handle trying to start to live again? Then trouble comes for his dead wife's father and he takes a stand. Will he and the club be able to save the day?
This is a beautiful story that will bring tears to the readers' eyes as well as a swoon from lips as they watch what two people are experiencing.
