The Undertakers #2
My Fearless Fugitives
They broke out for me. Now the past is no longer our biggest threat… the future is.
Wren
I thought escaping would be the hardest part, but the world outside those walls is more dangerous than I ever imagined.
The men who once existed only in my letters are now the center of every heartbeat I have, fierce, loyal and terrifyingly devoted. Learning how to belong with them in person feels exhilarating and terrifying all at once.
When someone from my past is pulled into our chaos, the air between us changes. Tension rises between us as loyalties are questioned.
The road ahead feels less like escape and more like a war we can’t avoid.
But these men, they don’t waver. Not when everything we are is being tested. Not when the past presses close. Not even when the future threatens to break us.
The world keeps trying to tear us apart, but we keep finding our way back.
And I’d walk through fire before I’d ever walk away from them.
***This is book two of a trilogy, and this book ends on a cliffhanger. It's a hurt/comfort, why choose, MFMM+ romance novel with dark themes. If you like your men morally gray and over the top obsessive and possessive, then read on! No bullying/mm/ff/cheating/owd. The FMC will not have to choose between her love interests.

Continuing from book 1, in this book, we see more of Wren's breaking free from her toxic home life and brother, she is figuring out her own strength, turning into a total firecracker

Spice has ramped up as our little wren gets to know what she wants.

"My Prison Penpals" (book #1) left us on a bit of a cliffhanger at the end! Thankfully, "My Fearless Fugitives" didn't end on quite as bad of one (the author could have ended it a few other times, but I'm glad she didn't!).
This book has a fair bit of action in it. They're on the run from Robert (Wren's brother), Ivan, AND the FBI. Talk about a tense situation! They know they won't be safe until at least Robert and Ivan are dealt with, though.
I won't give anything away, but this was an enjoyable book. I finished it easily in two days (if I didn't have children or need sleep, it would have been less time!) and it kept my attention nearly the entire time. I enjoyed that we got to see more of the characters' personalities and how they all work (or clash!) together. It was also great seeing them slowly get closer to become a pretty great team.
Reading about Elias is a bit sad, knowing how he feels about Wren but being unable to really act on it. The poor guy has lived his entire adult life for her without her even knowing it. Everything he did, everything he became, was for her (and continues to be). I'm glad she returns his feelings (not that the other person knows this about each other for certain), and while I wish she'd have said something to the guys about it, I know it's all a part of the storyline! (And a realistic one at that, considering her character's personality and not wanting to rock the boat.)
I've enjoyed both book one and two, and I can't wait to read the third when it's available!

This book picked up right where book one left off. No easing in, we dive straight back into the chaos.
The angst? THICK. The tension? Unbearable in the best way.
And the spice was exactly what I wanted.
What I loved most was the character development. You can feel the growth x the emotional layers peeling back, the shifting dynamics, the vulnerability underneath all that heat and turmoil. Each relationship Wren has with one of her men moves forward and develops further.
And that ending?!?! That cliffhanger had me staring at the wall like I just got personally betrayed. Shona Knight really said “good luck patiently waiting for the next book.
If you love high-stakes romance with angst, spice, and characters who make you FEEL everything, this one delivers.
Now excuse me while I impatiently wait for the next book because I am not okay.

After the cliffhanger from book one, I couldn't wait to dive into this book! And let me tell you I really enjoyed the ride. Going off strong where we ended in the first book, you'll dive straight back into action, following Wren and the guys on their escape from the FBI but also Ivan and Robert.
Shona really knew how to kept the fast pace throughout the story, making scenes funny due the banter between our characters and kept the spice, spicing. Yess she upped the game in this book! I loved how the characters kept growing personally. The background, especially from the guys, got more out in the open, making me love them much more than possible.
With the ending of this book I can't wait to dive into the last part of this series!
Shona Knight, thanks for the ARC to read and review.

This was SO good! After the cliffhanger the first book left us on, I was dying to get my hands on this and it definitely did not disappoint. This book had suspense, just like the first book, which I loved. The spice level really picked up in this book too. Wink, wink. One of my favorite elements is how dang funny and witty these characters are, especially Pete! I laughed out loud multiple times. Shona's dialogue skills are next level and they keep you engaged in this story, unable to put it down. But Reader be warned, this ends on the best cliffhanger that I never saw coming and loved so much! I can't wait to see what happens next!

The second book still has as much if not more action and suspense. I love how the group dynamics and characters are growing, especially Wren. Lots of major reveals and I cannot wait for book 3!!

Eli there can be an ass at times. He made up for himself in the end. And I’m worried about Jagger! My poor Jagger.

♥ “They’re fearless, and they’re mine.” 🗡
I am both desperate for book three and completely unwilling to let this group go. That’s how attached I’ve become.
♥ “Any normal person would run screaming, They’d be smart to. But Wren…she sees beneath our darkness, our burdens, and our pasts. She seems to see right into our souls.” 🗡
Wren’s growth continues to be the emotional heart of this series. Watching her slowly unravel the lies her brother built her life around has been powerful, but what makes it even stronger is how realistic her development feels. She doesn’t magically heal or suddenly gain clarity and confidence overnight. She stumbles. She regresses. She questions herself. And that authenticity makes every step forward feel earned.
🗡 “Because one thing is for sure, I won’t ever be truly happy without all of them in my life.” ♥
The guys remain incredibly endearing in their devotion to her. Their protectiveness and obsession are obvious, but it never feels hollow; it feels intentional. That said, I did find myself wanting a little more depth from them beyond their desire to protect and claim Wren. The glimpses of budding friendship between the guys were promising, and I’m hopeful that book three will expand on that dynamic, especially given where this installment left off.
♥ “You were brave enough to write to four monsters. You can’t be surprised we’d tear the world apart to keep you.” 🗡
Elias was a standout addition to the group. Every small reveal about his past made my heart ache for him. I loved the role he played in this book, particularly how his presence reinforced the grounded, realistic tone of Wren’s journey. I’m excited to see how he integrates further into the group moving forward.
🗡 “I’d do anything for her, even if that meant when this was all over, she walked away with them, and not me.” ♥
The pacing felt slower than book one, but it was layered with tension that made it impossible to put down. The quiet moments, the guys fighting to give Wren pieces of normalcy, were some of my favorites. Those scenes were soft, sweet, and deepened each individual bond in meaningful ways. Book three cannot come soon enough!
♥ “I thought you had left me, that you’d forgotten about me.” 🗡
And Shona… you absolutely knew what you were doing with “womb raider.” My dog did not deserve to be startled awake by my laughter.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
My Fearless Fugitives by Shona Knight continues Wren’s story after the explosive events of My Prison Penpals — but unfortunately, this installment didn’t quite work for me.
Going into book two, I expected the story to expand: higher stakes, deeper character growth, and some forward momentum toward resolving the larger conflict introduced in the first book. Instead, this felt very much like a transitional—or filler—installment, where the narrative moves only slightly while the focus shifts heavily toward spice over plot.
And spice-forward stories can absolutely work. The issue here is how quickly Wren’s characterization changes. After spending most of her life isolated and controlled, her adjustment to freedom — particularly sexual confidence — happens almost overnight. What could have been a nuanced healing journey instead feels rushed, creating a disconnect between her background and her behavior. Certain moments, especially the post-procedure IUD scene, pushed that disconnect too far for me and broke my immersion entirely.
The series already asks readers for a fair amount of suspension of disbelief, which I was willing to grant in book one. But in My Fearless Fugitives, the tension between premise and execution becomes harder to ignore. These men are convicted fugitives actively hiding from the law, yet much of the story unfolds through casual outings, public dates, and everyday activities that feel incompatible with the danger supposedly surrounding them. Even within escapist dark romance, some grounding helps maintain emotional stakes — and here, that anchor felt missing.
There are still elements I appreciate. The found-family dynamic remains strong, the devotion between the characters is unmistakable, and the story clearly aims for comfort, healing, and emotional safety after trauma. Readers looking primarily for protective, obsessive heroes and relationship-focused scenes will likely enjoy this installment more than I did.
For me, though, the balance tipped too far away from plot and believability, leaving the story feeling stalled rather than evolved.
I’m still curious to see how the trilogy concludes — but this middle book didn’t live up to the promise set by the series opener.

My Fearless Fugitives it the second book of The Undertakers, a dark themed contemporary why choose romance. I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own. Thank you to the author for my eArc.
Tropes and themes include:
✨Why choose (mfmmm)
✨Naive but smart FMC
✨Prior psychological abu$e and grooming
✨Wanting to be loved and desired
✨Mute MMC (uses sign language)
✨Hurt/comfort
✨Forced proximity
✨Age gap
✨Childhood friend
✨Touch her and die
✨Multi, first person POV
Rating: 5/5 Stars 2/5 Flames
Nicknames: Little bird, Tiny flame, Angel, Sweetheart
The Lovely: Whereas the FMC and MMCs had reached some stability in their relationships, the beginning of this book throws a bit of a wrench into it. And everyone is struggling. You can feel the hurt/comfort in your soul as the MMCs try to help the FMC understand the trauma she experienced. I felt for all the MCs and their devotion to each other was perfection.
Recommendation: The ending cliff wasn’t *quite* as rough as book one but that reveal? Totally didn’t see that coming. The good news is the author is rapid releasing this trilogy and the final book will be released at the end of March. If you like a contemporary why choose romance with darker themes and all the hurt/comfort moments, I think you would love this book.

“Only for you, little bird. Only for you.”
This story picked up right where we were left hanging at the end of My Prison Penpals and immediately we are thrown into chaos and a new dynamic is added to the harem!
“These men are chaos, all sharp edges and danger, but none of that is aimed at me. They fight for me and protect me. Laugh with me. And they make the world feel wide open instead of small.”
I really enjoyed the addition of Elias, her childhood crush/best friend. The prison penpals did NOT. 😅 Trust doesn’t come easy to any of Wren’s men so there is a lot of push and shove throughout this story.
The ENDING however, was EVERYTHING! I can’t give anything away just know that there is some hard won trust finally earned in the end and a twist that had me SHOOK.
“You’ve been such a good girl for me. I think it’s only fair that I reward you now. Would you like that?”
The spice has also progressed in this second book and I felt like it was a really natural shift. All of the guys are really good about taking things at Wren’s speed and allowing her to figure out what SHE wants.
“Use your words, Wren. Tell him what you want. Describe it.”
I will just be sitting here, FERAL, for the final book!

Dark RH Romance
Yes!! This was just as good as the first and I’m dying for the last one!!
So this starts exactly where the last book left off. Spicier and darker (imo) than the first book. Great banter and the chemistry was definitely still there.
Wren is still learning new things about the real world, coming out of her shell more and learning to protect herself. But she still needs to be reminded that what her brother did was wrong. She also is staring to get to know her best friend again and learns that he didn’t just leave her 7 years ago, he’s been trying to find a way to save her.
Could we possibly have a new love interest? 🫠 Elias is definitely the only green flag MMC 🤣 but I love how obsessed and unhinged the other MMC are.
That plot twist at the end 😱 so definitely left us on another cliff…..
No cheating, no OWD…. And they are all still together
* Hurt / Comfort
* Groom€d FMC
* Naive but Smart FMC
* Touch Her and ☠️
* Age Gap
* Mute MMC
* Virg!n FMC & MMC
* Morally Grey MMCs
* Unh!nged & Obsessed MMCs
* Forced Proximity
“He’s right. I’m not sure how she’s so undisturbed by everything we’ve done in the past. Any normal person would run screaming. They’d be smart to. But Wren… she sees beneath our darkness, our burdens, and our pasts. She seems to see right into our souls. It makes me want to be a better man for her.”—Jagger

On the run while also continuing to grow
After the ending in book one I was do excited to what would happen next. Now they are a group of six and have added running from the FBI to their list of people wanting to catch them.
Oh poor sweet Elias. This boy has been pining for a looooong time. He has been trying to get her out since he disappeared all those years ago. Now when he has her in his sights she's with four men he didn't think were interested in her like that. Seriously he had this whole idea about how their reunion would go and instead he's dealing with the other four men.
This book was filled with so much action. It hit the ground running but still found time for dates and relationship growth. This one had some really good spicy scenes and Wren finally lost that V card.
I love seeing Seen breaking free from her past more and more. We see her gaining skills and confidence. The end of this book kept ramping up and it made me worried about where it was going to end. While it absolutely ended on a cliffhanger I feel like this was a bit easier to handle after everything that happened in this book.
I can't wait to see how this plays out and I really want Elias to get added to her harem. He deserves to be included and I just hope it works out. Seriously this boy is so far gone for her.

Okay, I flew through this one — and I mean FLEW. My Fearless Fugitives is the kind of book you pick up and suddenly realize three hours have passed and you haven't moved from the couch. Shona Knight absolutely knows how to keep the pages turning.
Let me just say — the cliffhangers in this series are no joke. She has a serious gift for ending chapters in a way that makes "just one more" feel completely mandatory and the one at the end will have you counting down the days until the final book in the series comes out!
What I really loved was how the story keeps peeling back layers on each character. You think you know someone, and then boom — there's another piece of their history that reframes everything. It's the kind of storytelling that keeps you genuinely invested rather than just along for the ride.
And can we talk about the best friend storyline?!? I was SO here for that development at the end of book one, and watching that relationship continue to grow in this installment did not disappoint. Honestly, one of my favorite dynamics in the series.
Now I'm just impatiently waiting for the final book because I NEED answers. Highly recommend this series if you're into fast-paced reads with real depth.
Let me just say — the cliffhangers in this series are no joke. She has a serious gift for ending chapters in a way that makes "just one more" feel completely mandatory and the one at the end will have you counting down the days until the final book in the series comes out!
What I really loved was how the story keeps peeling back layers on each character. You think you know someone, and then boom — there's another piece of their history that reframes everything. It's the kind of storytelling that keeps you genuinely invested rather than just along for the ride.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This jumps straight back into the action, and Wren and her 4 criminal lovers are back on the run, this time alongside her estranged childhood best friend Elias.
I loved seeing his new POV, and the longing and pining he's had for Wren, and everything he has done over the years to try and free her from her cruel brother.
It's another wild ride as they all have to evade the FBI, Ivan, and Robert, and try not to fight amongst themselves, or draw public attention.
Jagger, Dex, Sly and Pete are instantly distrustful of Elias and try to keep him away from Wren, and it causes a lot of tension and conflict.
I enjoyed seeing Wren's determination and bravery, and how she's learning to express her feelings and new desires.
This definitely keeps you at the edge of your seat not knowing if they will get captured with so many enemies trying to hunt them down, but it still makes time for those sweet and tender moments, and the spicy interactions.
I'm so glad Elias was along for the ride, and can't wait to see how they will tackle the next challenge and protect their girl.

We jump right back into the action where Penpals left us. The elusive Elias has reappeared, and our group is now on the run from Robert, Ivan, AND the FBI! There is so much going on with this book, from the action and drama, to the deepening and growing relationships. I love all of these guys, they are absolutely perfect for Wren and just what she needs. Curious to see what will become of Wren and Elias, this is a MUST read.
I am not planning to give much away with this review! I would say that our slow burn has definitely started to heat up in this book. We are still plot heavy (which I LOVE), but the spice is growing pretty accurately with where Wren started, naivety and innocence-wise. It is the perfect balance to be believable and keep you coming back for more! I know I can not wait to see where our newest cliff leaves us at the start of My Crazy Killers!

After the cliffhanger of the first book I NEEEEDED to get this one in my hands. It did not disappoint. I loved the introduction of Eli and I completely fell for him. He is the voice of reason in the middle of chaos but we get glimpses of his darker side as well. I loved watching Wren come into her own this book.
She learns she can rely on herself and just how smart she is. Not only that she gains confidence with herself and her men. The book is a whole lot spicier this time around and I love it. Wren gets closure with her brother and facing him down and surviving was one of my favorite parts of the book. We get to see new depths to the mmcs and their growth as a found family. They start to mesh together perfectly, even Eli. This book ends on another cliffhanger and I cannot wait to get the third book in my hands to see what happens between wren, her guys and Ivan. There were so many twists and turns in this second book I cant wait to find out the ending of the story. This is absolutely my favorite series by this author and everyone needs to read it.

Seriously it was that good. Following the story of Wren and her 4 reckless men, this book brought on a new love for a new character ;) trust you me, you will be shocked!

One of the best book series I have ever read
Usually when I’m reading a series I make sure all of the books are written and published before starting, but with this one I just had to start it before they all were published. I don’t have a real reason for that other than a very large urge, like I was being pushed to do so.
I loved the first book, so much so I added the second and third books release dates to my calendar so I could be reminded of them being published, once I was done with the first I started on a different book box and by the time I was done with that a week and two days had passed and the second one was out, which I just finished and am completely obsessed with. Now I have to wait until the 27th to read and finish the series, let’s hope I can be patient 😅 I love this series.
There’s so much emotional depth, amazingly written spice and watching them all grow with each other and connect, it’s amazing. By far one of my favorite series I have read so far:)

Hiding…For Now
Ughhhh, I can’t explain how amazingly good this book was, and how this story just got better & better with each chapter. Watching the relationship grow between Wren & her guys is ALMOST as good as simply watching Wren grow stronger & more sure of who she is as she grows beyond her past. All of that while they’re on the run from Wren’s brother, Ivan, and of course, the FBI 👀🫣🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Couldn’t get any more exciting…right? LOL, Shona said hold my drink & hand me my laptop, cause yeah, it totally can….why hello there Elias 😝 This man y’all, I didn’t know how much Wren, or her story, needed him until he was fully in there, but now I need him to stay 🙏🏼 Come on guys, let him stay 🥺 When I say I am practically feral with the need for book 3, I mean this series is living rent free at the front of my mind, and is not going to be satisfied with life until I find out what happens. Shona is a freakin genius…nuff said ❤️❤️❤️

Marginally better than the first one. There is more spice in this one but it often felt like the characters would be having an orgy 24/7. There were a lot of questionable actions with them being on the run. It didn’t make sense for them to be going out on dates out in public if they’re trying to be discreet. The FMC continues to be very “I’m not like other girls” and the Madonna-Whore complex continues to get played up with varying degrees of commitment. Also the FMC continuously getting kidnapped gets old really quick. I wanted to like this one more than the first one but it still felt underdeveloped and at times childish. There was a pretty good cliffhanger like the last one but I think the story could’ve been told in a duet. I feel this book, like the first one, would’ve benefitted from a really good editor. As frustrated as I was I will be reading the third book in hopes it improves and because I still want to give the author a chance.

Okay I was so ready for My Fearless Fugitives after the cliff I was left dangling off of in book 1! And Shona did NOT disappoint!
From the beginning we're going at a fast pace, facing the danger that is imminent from all sides. It's action packed, and there's so much delicious character development between Wren and her harem of criminals. I can't get enough of them!
The spice? 💥💥 The obsession? 🤌🏼 The protective nature of Sly, Jagger, Pete, Dex, and even Elias just perfection for me. Wren is also really blossoming into a confident badass woman after being sheltered her whole life and I love her character!
We even get some more juicy lore drops and information. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for book 3! This trilogy is giving me life!
This is an ARC review I am leaving voluntarily and all thoughts are my own.

I…yet again am left in absolute awe by Shona’s work.
Her storytelling is just so amazing to fall in to every single time. Watching the characters continue to develop as the story progresses always makes me feel all the things!
The passion the characters feel, the world building it always just hits perfectly with Shona’s works.
With this particular adventure I was very excited to continue the adventures from My Prison Penpals. There was a couple of twists I was NOT expecting at all. One in particular that just had my jaw literally hitting the ground. Read to find out! I won’t say when it happens but you’ll know when you come upon it.
The spice scenes flowed perfectly in line with the plot. I liked watching Wren’s relationships progress even further with her men. And Sly dominating her? Just *fans self* so hot! Overall I’d rate the spice 2 peppers, it’s spicy yes but the story is way more plot driven as most of Shona’s works are.
You will for sure want to pick this amazing book up, but make sure you read my prison penpals first, this is definitely not a stand alone.

I have been wanting to read this since the cliffhanger of the last book. This one starts off where My Prison Penpals left off and oh my it is so good.
I won't spoil anything but Wren and her guys are on the run from many people and while doing this we see Wren grow so much and just love how sassy she is getting and speaking up for herself too. Each guy wants to protect her and seeing them start to come together for her is exciting.
Elias is such a great addition and just learning how he has had feelings for her and also protecting her without her knowing, I loved so much. I an really hoping they all start to see him for who he is and gets added to the harem.
I was not expecting that ending and so need the next book! Such a great series so far!

4.5 🌟 I love Wren and her guys so much! I was so thrilled to get back into their story!
Adding in Elias into the dynamic was so fun. We don't know much about him so I enjoyed getting to know him. And learning about what he had been doing in the last several years since Wren had seen him.
Wren was so strong in this one. She was learning how to stand up for herself and say what she wanted. I really liked her character development.
She gets to deepen her relationship with the guys and I loved it!
I really loved the Sushi Dinner scene. Peter being unhinged and protecting Wren is always my favorite!
I enjoyed the ending and I can't wait for the final adventure in the next book!
Thank you to the author Shona Knight for the eARC!

We pick up where book 1 left off, Wren and her men being confronted by Elias, her childhood best friend.
I was so tense the whole time reading this! They were on the run, and now a new man is added to the mix. Except, he's her best friend (😉) and her relationship with her four convicts continues to develop. They make moves against Ivan and her brother Robert, but there are so many obstacles in their way. There were some cringey moments in this book, but the author has a certain charm to her writing that is hard to ignore. I enjoyed the continuing slow burn, and that the men taught her to defend herself.
I recommend this if you enjoy why choose, with protective men, and a naive but strong willed FMC who is learning to find her voice.

Oh my goodness. If you've read book one you'll know that Shona Knight draws you in with her writing and I can say that this book was even more so.
I honestly felt a bit bad for Elias during this book, but I'm glad at how things turned out for him.
Wren's guys really learned to come together for Wren but I feel like they might need something better than jewelry for her.
I know Sly, Pete, Dex and Jagger all play a vital part in their relationship with Wren but you can clearly see where Elias would fit with this if they all could open their eyes, and their hearts to him. He thinks of Wren with a different perspective than the other guys.
I honestly didn't see that twist ending but I'm so ready to see how these men handle everything in the next book.

Book 1 ended on a crazy cliffhanger, and thankfully, My Fearless Fugitives picks it right back up. We finally get to meet Elias and how he changes the dynamic of the group.
Wren is still coping with the reality of her brother and we get to see her start to come out of her shell more. The guys are still so over the-top possessive of Wren.
“𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒷𝓇𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝑒𝓃𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽 𝓉𝑜 𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝒻𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓂𝑜𝓃𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈. 𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒶𝓃‘𝓉 𝒷𝑒 𝓈𝓊𝓇𝓅𝓇𝒾𝓈𝑒𝒹 𝓌𝑒‘𝒹 𝓉𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓁𝒹 𝒶𝓅𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝓀𝑒𝑒𝓅 𝓎𝑜𝓊.“
I loved the addition of Elias. All the years of yearning for Wren broke my heart. Especially since Wren was non the wiser. It’ll be interesting to see how everything unfolds.
It ends on a cliffhanger, and I’m dying for the third and final book.

I read this in one day 😭the minute I started this I couldn’t put it down . This was soo good and addicting like from page one to the last . The storyline of wren and the guys on the run , Elias wanting wren but he is still on the outside with the group , the romance between wren and the guys , and the banter and sweet moments that makes u see how much these ppl are caring for each other🥹❤️❤️. I also loved reading wren gain her strength and being her own person I was proud of her I just loved this all the way through , my favorite thing about Shona Knight books is every time you read them u feel like u are in this harem with the fmc and all the guys in the best way possible like u feel connected to them and their family and it makes it so easy to fall in love with harem and the book🥰🥰.
