Disappointing
Having just finished 'Beautiful Outlaw' I was pleasantly surprised to find this book available after all the second epilogue had me intrigued and left me with some unanswered questions so I couldn't wait to start reading.
My first disappointment came when I realised the timeline, this takes place after the first epilogue but before the second, still it was a chance to fill in some gaps so I went ahead but I have to say that despite all the fabulous reviews I felt ultimately very let down by this book, there's very little that's new, there's sex, lots of sex, in fact this seems more like the sex came first and the 'story' was added later to join it together and fill in any blanks.
I know it's only 68 pages long but it wasn't at all what I expected, the club business was interesting but that was it really.

As Bowie and Shay adjust to their life it is not a smooth transition for the couple. Shay pregnant is hormonal and just wants Bowie with her. Bowie is trying to get his club back in a place that they can feel safe after the betrayal they continue to feel the aftermath of his father. Bowie knows Shay needs him but as his old lady she needs to trust him and the club comes first.
Great followup story to Beautiful Outlaw. You feel for Bowie because he wants to put Shay first but the club is in trouble and he is the only one that can fix it. Shay is feeling vulnerable and Bowie finds ways of showing him that she is desired just as much as they day they became one. Quick read.

If you are a fan of Bowie and Shay from Beautiful Outlaw you will enjoy this novella. It brings us up to date on the happenings within the Outlaw MC as well as the now married Bowie and Shay. There is some action as well as tons of sex since we know Bowie and Shay can't keep their hands off each other. We also find out more of the stuff that Cash - Bowies father was up to behind the clubs back. Definitely recommend if you read Beautiful Outlaw. If you have not give it a read it's a great MC romance. Looking forward to the next installment.

I received a ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I really love how Emily Minton continued the story of Shay and Bowie. What a great job I have to say. I can't wait to read more of Shay and Bowie's story. Love how Emily touched on how Bowie had to clean up his father's mess he left behind. Great job Emily...

I was excited to see there was a 2nd book in the series after that cliffhanger in the first book. I was super disappointed when the 2nd book was so short and mentions nothing of said cliffhanger in book 1.

Extended epilogue
It was fun to read this novella. It answered a couple of mysteries from the original story like how Tin ended up with his gift! As always with MC stories, the violence is a given and shivering to imagine.
Enjoyed this.

Heart of an Outlaw (Savage Outlaws MC #1.5)
By: Emily Minton
5/5 stars
So what happens after the dust settles (after book 1, before the epilogue) in the aftermath of Bowie ousting his father, Cash, and takes over as the club President? Well, the club learns just how devious Cash has been. While selling out their club, making back room deals, working with friends and enemies alike, and skimming profit off the top (for MANY years)…Cash has been able to continue to screw his club over from the grave! The position in which Cash has left the club is extremely vulnerable. And since he did most of all of this behind the backs of his club brothers, the people he owed either money or product to, have come knocking, looking to collect what is owed to them. Thus leaving the club short on money & unable to pay everyone.
To top off Bowie’s concerns, he is newly married & in the process of starting a family with Shay. But in order to do that, he also has to be there for her and not just off solving the club’s problems. The novella jumps ahead to Shay being 7 months pregnant. She has been saddened about Bowie’s continued absences for club business on top of being hormonal & emotional due to being pregnant. But Bowie has to take care of business, in order to ensure the safety of Shay, his unborn child, his family and his club.

I just finished Heart of an Outlaw and I just loved it! This the novella of Bowie and Shay so you must read Beautiful Outlaw first to get an understanding of the characters. Bowie is still cleaning up the ramifications of what his father, Cash had done to the club all the while Bowie is still trying to protect his brothers, his club and his Old Lady, Shay. Shay is now 7 months pregnant and understands what Bowie has to do but is upset that he is gone so much. Will Bowie be able to still show that Shay is just as important as his club?
Im a biker girl through and through and this story had me from the get go. I was up to the wee hours in the morning to finish reading it because I couldnt put it down. I loved the storyline and love the characters. Its quick and sexy read, what you would expect from a biker book! I loved how it set up for whats to come. I cant wait! Im super stoked to see what Emily comes up with next!

I'll be honest and admit that I only skimmed through this. And I wasn't impressed. I don't see any real reason for publishing this, much less reading this novella, but here I still am, writing a review for it.
Heart of an Outlaw continues the story of Shay and Bowie, and once again the title has little to do with the contents of the story. It's a short recap of Shay's pregnancy with lots of wince-worthy sex scenes. Nothing hot here, sadly.
The characters didn't show any development in depth, although they did have an argument, but that was mostly chalked up to Shay's pregnancy hormones. Because real couples never fight or feel inadequate or alone or anything like that, no. They just don't.
Anyway, I just wasted 20 minutes of my time with this one and fill finally lay this author's book to rest for the next eternity.
1 star.

This quick glimpse into Bowie and Shay’s life when she is 7 months pregnant gives us a little bit of everything. Plenty of sexy moments, Bowie still trying to clean up the mess his father left while not going to war with any of the other clubs his father screwed over and Shay trying to come to terms with the fact her husband has to be gone a lot taking care of club business.
I did a quick reread of Beautiful Outlaw before reading this and even though this series is on the rougher side of the MC life you still cant help but fall in love with the Savage Outlaws as they delve out their own sense of justice to those that wrong them and the ones they love. Looking forward to Tin Man’s story coming out next month.

On my novella rating scale, this one gets 3 stars.
A look into married with children life for the hero and heroine. I kind of thought it sucked that she's basically going to be stuck at home with kids in the future while he lives this rough biker lifestyle.
He's faithful, that's always a plus, even when on the road for long periods of time.
He has a lot to deal with as the prez of an MC that's a mess, but he finally clears all problems and debts (and immediate enemies) by the end of the story.
It says at the end that he's able to finally be at home more, but it still kind of seems like life is going to be dull for the heroine.

Heart of an Outlaw begins with Shay sharing some life-altering news to Bowie. Bowie and Shay move forward with their new lives together. Bowie still has a lot to deal with from Cash's death and the unknown deals he made with other clubs. Bowie is under a lot of pressure to keep his club afloat and not start a war right now with another club. All Shay knows is that Bowie is gone a lot and she feels alone at a time in her life when she wants her husband. It was a short read and flowed well. Shay and Bowie still can't keep their hands off of each other and you are given examples of that throughout the book. Well worth the $.99 I paid for it and a nice continuation of their story.

First read 2015. Re-read and changed the rating from 4 to 3 stars. I really enjoyed book 1 in the series. This very short book was the follow up of the same couple from book 1. There were so many secondary characters that were developed and made me really want to read their stories. The author set up the stories for each of them. But then, the series ended with this book, four years ago. I wish the author had not set up the expectation that the secondary characters would be getting their stories too.

This is the 2nd book in the Savage Outlaws MC series & it's a novella. It's a few months after the first book ended & Shay & Bowie have been married for a couple months. Shay has just taken a pregnancy test & it came out positive, they are both thrilled. Bowie is now the President of the Savage Outlaws & is spending most of his time cleaning up the messes Cash( his father) made. Shay is having a hard time dealing with Bowie having to go out of town so much especially now that she is pregnant. Bowie is trying his hardest to keep his wife & the club happy.

More Bowie and Shay?? Hell yes!! I love these two, so I was thrilled to see this novella be released. Not to mention getting a little Outlaw baby?? How awesome. Emily did an amazing job with continuing the story of these two, while also adding in that gritty MC life that we've all come to love.
I was almost a little sad to see how short this one was, but I know I'll be getting more Bowie and Shay soon, as Tin Man's story is up next. And I just know that it's going to blow me away. This is an amazing series, and well worth it's 5 stars!!!

Well this novella burst my happy bubble about this series after finishing the first book. The only thing interesting in this one was the club business. I really hope that this doesn't turn into yet another BC (baby club) instead of a MC series. That is pretty much the only thing going on in this one other than the club business...pregnancies, hormones, daycare, babies, and toddlers nothing interesting in the relationship department at all...well other than the bitch Tin brought with him but that was actually a WTF is he doing rather than interesting....

Review and rating added:
Heart of an Outlaw is a follow up novella for Emily Minton's Savage Outlaw series. It's a quick and easy read.
Minton takes us through the next phase for Bowie and Shay as their relationship and marriage continues. Additionally, Minton continues with the Savage Outlaw conflicts that were started within the first book, Beautiful Outlaw.
There are so many great possibilities for more with this series through the supporting cast of characters: Tin-Man, Rollo, Lila, and Tag to name a few. This was a great start and I hope to see more on this series soon.

I love this Sequel to Bowie and Shay. I love them as a couple. I like how we get to see the way they progress after all the shit in Beautiful Outlaw. Specially with all the crap left over from Cash. I remember Shay telling Bowie about how her crazy ass husband and how he made her get a tummy tuck and him replying that she shouldn't worry since once she got pregnant with his baby that it would be no problem. And now they have a baby and they are happy. I can't wait for more Tin's story!!!

Review for Heart of an Outlaw (Savage Outlaw MC 1.5) by Emily Minton
Heart of an Outlaw picks up after Beautiful Outlaw and gives us a sexy peek into what happened next for Bowie and Shay.
The club is still cleaning up the mess that Cash left in his wake … can Bowie mend fences with the other clubs or will he be burning bridges?
I really enjoyed this novella. A great balance between club business and sexy romance. Another win from Emily Minton!
Five Stars for sure!

3.5 Stars! Great book, great characters but a little too short IMO. I really never understood the reasoning behind 1.5/2.5... books if you know what I mean? I wish they would take the .5 and just add it to the previous book. This book has Bowie who is your bad a**, alpha biker with a dirty mouth and his Old Lady Shay who can give as good as she gets. Looking forward to the next book in the series; I'm officially hooked. Go Outlaws!

Loved it!!! Continuation of Bowie and Shay's story. You find Bowie trying cleaning up the mess left by Cash, working to keep the MC in good standing with other MCs and making a family with Shay. Wanting to protect and be there with her. Shay's pregnant, hormonal and missing her man. Storyline continues to be entertaining and steamy. Quick, sexy read.
