Carlos: A VDMC Trilogy: Parts 1-3
Carlos Santiago, Sheriff with the Mount Grove Police Department, has been at odds with himself, his brother, and the VDMC for nearly six months. The war between right and wrong, lawful and unlawful, rages in his head and heart. Carlos fears losing himself to anarchy.
Zoe Rutterson is on the run from the law—and a life in hiding is no life at all for her young son. Sheriff Carlos extended a hand of friendship to her and, despite her reservations, she finds herself drawn to the small-town officer. When her secrets are revealed, is she really ready to put her trust in the law for the sake of her and her son's freedom?

Carlos… CARLOS. I was so mad at Carlos and how he went for his brother in Bulldogs book, but reading these has set me at ease with him. Watching him fall for his Zoe and Kyle, getting his own happy while battling his monster was so perfect. Via Demonia for LIFE

Book One:
Even though he's not an official VDMC member, Carlos does have an integral role and im jappy to see the atart of his story here in part one of the trilogy. Deputy Sheriff Carlos has a hard time with the gray areas of his job that cross those of the VDMC. He tries to stay on the right side of the law, but he does have a darkness, a monster inside that fights to come out.
"Carla" and her son, "Kyle" arrive unexpectedly to the clubhouse of his brother, Bulldog, and the VDMC. Carlos knows there's more to her story, but is really prepared for the harsh reality and the ramifications if her whereabouts are leaked? I can't wait to start part two and find out what happens next.
Book Two:
Part two featuring Carlos and Zoe is high on the heat. It's another emotionally charged and suspense filled journey with a surprising twist. I can't wait to read part three and find out what happens next!
Book Three:
An epic conclusion to Carlos' story, this honorary member of the VDMC owns a piece of my heart. His morals that get a little blurred from the line of right and wrong, his determination and grit to be the best sheriff and protect his family and his town.

I was wondering when we’d get to know what Conners letter said. This story is so filled with love but also sadness because we get another layer of Conner.
I am so happy for Zoe and Carlos, being able to trust and love one another was so special. I love that they get the love and protection from the VDMC just as much as a member would. I can’t wait to see them in future stories.

Fantastic addition to series
A simply wonderful read with Carlos and Zoe and toddler. Kyle who had arrived at the club begging for help..
Connor had previously helped her and had been going to bring them himself, unfortunately he had been killed saving Harper and her unborn son.

Carlos
This book is about Carlos and Zoe and in typical MC fashion, Zoe and her son Kyle have to go into hiding after Zoe kills her abusive husband when Kyle is an infant. Because Zoe works in a retirement home, where Connor‘s dad is placed, she crosses his path and get inadvertently tied into the MC through him. After Connor dies, still brings Zoe and her son to the compound, and she is passed off as Steele’s wife, Jenna‘s niece. That’s where Carlos first meet her and their story begins. Another exciting book in the series and I can’t wait to keep reading more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This trilogy was a great addition to the VDMC series! While Carlos isn’t part of the MC he plays a major role in every story! And Zoe finally gets her HEA and Carlos shows that he isn’t just the Sheriff…he will burn the world to the ground for the people he loves!
