And thank God he does. Freya hits bottom after her brother's death. Her rock. Her best friend. Her everything. Gone. She always knew it was a possibility that he might get hurt while on shift, but she never entertains the thought of him dying. Not until it's too late. She literally has nothing else to lose-until she meets him. Ridley Walker. A biker with the Uncertain Saints MC and a local sheriff's deputy. The man responsible for taking away her best friend.

4.5 Dirty Mother Stars
I am enjoying this series immensely, I think I like it so much because it’s got the MC feel but with this awesome twist.
This was a little more emotional for me, because of the last book. I do like how the author brings all the characters together. It helps my heart a lot to see when the good ones get a HEA.
I want to hurt anyone who was ever mean to Freya, this women has not had it easy. But I love her spunk once she found it that is.
Ridley hmmm I liked him and I am glad he was who Freya needed but I kinda wanted to see him heal a little more from his loses.
I freaking loved the ending. :)
Can’t wait for the next audiobook installment these narrators really are bringing this series to life. I love it.

3.75 'Mutual Healing' Stars
After the little teaser we got into Ridley’s character on Bad Apple I’ve been counting down the days to get my hands on his story, and I not the least bit disappointed because Ridley was everything that Lani Lynn Vale showed us in that book and more.
Going in, and as the blurb hinted, both main characters, Ridley and Freya, have suffered great losses amongst their loved ones.
For Freya, the recent loss was the last drop, because she didn’t only lose her brother, Corey Capone, but her best friend, her pilar – and in reality she doesn’t blame on Ridley or Kit – , and now she finds herself in a pit of desperate, lonely and hopelessness. Her character is, for me, beautifully written. I felt her despair, her anguish, and I cried with her. I loved her vulnerability and apparently fragility, but I wished she had a stronger backbone – yes, I’ve been spoiled by the usual LLV’s kickass heroines, LOL – and stood more for herself, even though I understood her reasoning and the explanation she gives Ridley for that, I wanted more from and for her, and Lani gives us a bit of that close to the end ( I don’t want to spoil anything but it really was a ‘Holy F@ck’ moment, and I freakin’ loved it! ).
Ridley has been alone ever since his wife’s death five years prior. And in this lies my hang up ( besides the previously mentioned wish on her personality), because death wife trope is one of my least favorites tropes, specially if he considered her to be the love of his life, and in the very beginning Ridley did mention something along those lines, as did he refer to Aerie sometimes all throughout the story. Like I said, this is a personal pet peeve of mine, and will always be, but I wished that the references were much rare in appearance, and that I didn’t feel he was still hung up, even if no longer truly in love with her. That is my wishful thinking, of course, LOL, because nonetheless, from the very first moment he meet Freya, a connection was immediately established and palpable, from that I have no doubt. If we didn’t consider his past – even though we know everyone has one – he was the perfect book boyfriend. Alpha to the core, he was an amazing hero, loyal, protective, caring and loving, and Freya was one lucky girl!
She looked completely oblivious to the world around her.
She was also the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen in my life.
All it took was one look and an inexplicable and surprising – even to himself – wave of protectiveness overtook him, and from that point on, we feel, like he did, that he needs to take care of her, that she needs him. And he needed that himself, just as badly.
Freya was beautiful, yes.
She was honest, playful…and most of all, she needed me.
And I wanted to be needed.
I wanted someone to take care of, someone who would give me the same in return.
And the more I spoke with Freya, the more I realized just how much I wanted that someone to be her.
All of her.
Their relationship slowly – given his undercover situation, result of the side plot – develops into something more, as we expected from the very beginning, and we really feel how important Freya is to him, and how, slowly, she took hold of his heart, healing him while he simultaneously was healing her. By the end we have no doubt that Freya is the love of his life, like he is hers.
Lani Lynn Vale gave us a truly beautiful story of healing, and proved yet again what an extraordinary author and story teller she is, because even considering my personal hang up, I couldn’t put it down as soon as it landed on my kindle, and never once stopped for any reason related to the story. And that is why she is one of my all time favorite authors, and one of the few I loyally and restlessly stalk for each release. I’m already counting the days for Rusty Nail, because I’ve been itching for Wolf’s story even since the Code 11 – KPD SWAT Series.
And I never felt so much happiness and love in my life.

Disappointing
I've read every book by LLV and they've been getting consistently worse, I don't know if it's because she's been publishing a book monthly or whatever but I want the quality of her first three series back.
Even the first books from the Uncertain Saints and Kilgore Fire series were good, but lately the stories are not adding up to what happened in previous books. For instance, I believe Freya was mentioned by Casten in his book as Ridley's woman who wasn't his woman and that storyline happened way before this one, so as I said it doesn't add up.
I didn't feel anything between Ridley and Freya, they're both likable but their relationship felt forced and I really didn't get them, we never understand why is Freya so hated by everyone in the hospital and she was previously mentioned in KF as a timid girl and the pushover in charge but not a hated one, it made no sense whatsoever.
We learned nothing about Ridley's relationship with his wife, he's supposed to still be in love with her, which was constantly mentioned in previous books, but in this one she's just this excuse for their relationship not to progress. It gets confusing at one point when he says "Neither of us had been ready for kids, and then I was deployed on my first and only tour of duty in Iraq shortly after" but before he implied that he started seeing her romantically while he was deployed "I’d met Aerie while in high school. Then I’d gone off to Iraq about two months after graduating, and while there, I’d picked up a pen pal. My wife. We’d conversed for three years by email and letter alone, and the day I discharged from the Army, I went to find her in my hometown of Uncertain, Texas, and we’d been together for four blissful years" which is it?
She also made lots of mistakes with descriptions, at one point she describes Ridley as having longer hair because of the whole "undercover" thing and then she stresses how short it is since that's the way his brother wore it. She also got super repetitive to the point of saying something in one paragraph and then repeating it rephrased in the next one.
The "undercover" situation was just ridiculous, I know this is romance and that she has a flare for the soap-operish but this was just too much, completely unbelievable and unrealistic. She's usually so good describing cops, firefighters, nurses and whatnot but this was ridiculously fake.
I don't know, this one just didn't work for me, it felt completely disassociated, it was a total disaster and it's really sad because it was a story I wanted to read, I liked Ridley from other books and I wanted to know more about him, I also wanted to understand why Freya was so self deprecating. The fact that she was bullied was never explored beyond her telling him that it happened.
It just didn't do it for me, I really hope LLV gets her act together because I like the world she's built, her humor, and her characters. I feel so sad to give this book 2 stars but I couldn't bring myself to give it more.

Beware of Spoilers!
Star Ratings:
Heroine (Freya): 28yrs old
Hero (Ridley): 30s?
Plot: 3/5
Grovel: none
Cheating: none
HEA: yes with baby
Triggers: in love with dead wife
Average score: 3/5
Best Line: “Ridley was sexy, sure. But Wolf was to die for.” – because I have never read a romance were the h thinks another man is hotter than her man
Worst Line: all the remarks about his dead wife
Personal Review:
I knew before reading this book that the H’s wife had been killed a while ago but I was expecting him to be at the stage of moving on and being open to a new relationship. What I got instead was reference after reference of his love for his dead wife.
Random Ramblings
•If he was such a family man then why hasn’t he spent time with his brother’s children?
•Stop telling me about your fucking love for your dead wife…I want to read about your love for the h otherwise what is the point in calling this a romance??!!
•I didn’t get the ‘fuc’ thing
•The apple pie bit was really funny
•Again, I felt this story was missing chunks, just like Lani’s previous book
•Why couldn’t she stay in her own home?
Overall Feeling:
Please let the next one be better

not-for-me-personally
November 27, 2017Why did I waste my time trying to read this crap ? I don't think this author is going to be on my future reading list. The H kept pining for his dead wife, the heroine had a shit load of problems and there seemed to be very little chemistry between them. The story just kept going on and on in a pointless manner and I really did not care a shit about any of the other characters either. What kind of romance is this? Wtf kind of MC romance is this anyway ? The hero was such a pussy...
July 1, 2020
I have to admit that before this book, specifically during Apple's book I did not care much for Ridley, he was just an ass in my opinion... after reading Dirty Mother I find Ridley to be one of my favorite guys. He loves hard and although it took him a while to figure out his inner turmoil he always had Freya's best interests in mind. There were times I yelled at him to get his s@$t together, but there was no denying his feelings
Freya was this timid sad girl who came off as a pushover, but throughout the book you find yourself in awe of what a real bad ass she is! She may be scared to speak her mind but she proves she will do what she has to in order to keep her man alive! I love this couple hard!

Ridley lost his wife and he vowed he would never enter a relationship or marry again. Asking for a favor from a friend, he doesn't realize it will end in tragedy and loosely connect him to Freya Capone. Beautiful isn't a strong enough word to describe hr, but Ridley think she is that, her sadness though unsettles him. Ridley can't afford the distraction but Freya has burrowed herself into his heart and he doesn't know what to do about it.
I am not sure about this one, I thought Ridley was a bit of a jerk and Freya is so vulnerable. I wanted to like this but struggled a bit with Ridley and how his story unfolded. Might reread to see if it was just my mood.

This would have been a 5 star read but it contained a trope that I really really despise...the love of life dead spouse.Sure I read all the spoiler reviews but I said to myself..you like the author Vashti..give the book a try...mind you there are a few books of this author that I would absolutely not read...looking at you "twins book" from the KPD SWAT 2.0 series....so I gave it a shot and stayed up the entire night till 6 am today to finish it.I liked the book just not the trope.
The dead wife was prominent till the end of the dam book for crikeys sake,he never changed his bedroom that he shared with the dead wife and still kept all her belongings like she was still there...buddy...it was 5 years!He did finally toss her stuff but it took a wake up for him to realise it was the heroine front and center.

I don't even know what to say. I couldn't connect with the characters. I was disappointed and I hope the next story is better.
She is a doormat and he remains loyal to his dead wife. He takes the heroin to his house and put her in a guest room because in his room is still a shrine to his dead wife. And he hadn't even told her he had ever been married. In many situations he was comparing the two women and I ended up not liking it.

November 7, 2016The dead wife love of his life and the woman after story. Ahhh man I hate that when the hero is always going on and on about his first wife.
Please! Get over it!!!
Soooo frustrating and rarely are these stories worth the effort.
On second thought, I will place it on my might read here....someday I may want this kind of angst read!
Enjoy all <3

This was an emotional book that had me in tears. Freya tragically lost her brother and best friend - and since that fateful day she felt disconnected to everything and everyone. He was the one that she could count on to be in her corner when the going got tough. Then, through unexpected circumstances, her brother's partner Ridley befriends Freya without realizing who she is.
Ridley was an a$$ and I hated him at times. But the more I got to see why he was the way he was, my heart hurt for him. Like Freya, he's faced some trying times, and as much as he wanted to give himself to Freya 100%, he had to close a certain chapter in his life before he could. As Freya allowed Ridley into her life, it became clear that even though he was carrying around a lot of guilt, he wanted to make sure Freya was taken care of, and in a sense he became her protector.
Seeing these two slowly fall in love had me hoping that no matter what came their way, they would be able to overcome it. Freya's strength and determination to keep going was inspiring for me because I came to realize that no matter how dark times in our life may become, there will always be light trying to shine in. It's my decision to allow it or deny it.
I was honestly blown away by Ridley & Freya's story. These two individuals have been to hell and back and I wanted them to find their peace and happiness. Be prepared when you start reading their story because it will hit home to many. ~ Kara, 5 Emotionally Beautiful Stars

Every now and then whilst reading this book I kept asking myself did Lani write this or someone else? Lately her books are a hit or miss with me. I'm not sure why, could be she's rushing to get them out. But there is no depth, no real detail anymore. No real suspense when there is a huge lead up and then bam anticlimactic ending. I didn't feel the lead characters it's just their there and this there story. Wham. What has me confused the most about Ridley is he is devoted to his dead wife but towards the end he starts comparing her to Frey and how he didn't like her (wife)! Now there was a sentence that has annoyed me what the fark is Fuc Freya's nickname? It came up once then never again! Why would she move in with him when she has 2 houses? What happened to her enemy who owns most houses in her street ( who I thought was going to be the villain but no, no more mention of him!) why did everyone at her hospital hate her? Lani why aren't you answering your own questions in your books? I would also suggest maybe getting a new editor so these simple things get added and not missed!

Reread. Great book. Especially since James was in it, even if it was just for a minute!! Couldn't put it down.
July 23, 2023
Ugh. This book is a damn mess. Just utter crap.
Ridley (Sheriff deputy, brother of Kitt, MC member, has a dead wife that he loved) met Freya (nurse, virgin, twat) in the last book when his sister, Kitt, was involved in a crash and ended up in the hospital. Turns out, Freya's brother was the person that was driving Kitt to her doctor's appointment and ended up dying in the wreck. In the last book we also heard how Ridley was going undercover in the prison for a few months. This one we hear more about him going to prison. While he's there, he has a phone to use for emergencies. Freya has it listed as her dead brother's phone and she starts texting. They develop a friendship from there.
So, there's some references to suicide (I've listed my issues with that fake storyline below), there's also the implication that Freya's neighbor is going to be a bad guy, that never pans out. Just random f*cking things that don't make sense, and also don't add up. Plus, I never believe that they're in love. At the beginning you can see how feelings could start to evolve and there was so much potential; however, that all stops at around the 30% mark. I think they only have sex twice in the entire book, then once in the epilogue. They never admit their feelings to each other. In fact, right up until the end Ridley is talking about his dead wife. At the epilogue he finally says he loves her. Um..... no. They never have anything that's heart-to-heart. No passion. No romance. Nothing that even resembles a relationship. At the end they aren't even living together. They just see each other occasionally. It's the worst excuse for a relationship I've ever read.
There were so many issues and contradictions in this fic. I just HATED it. It's the same trash writing that LLV usually puts out.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
Contradictions: He's in prison reading a text message from Freya. The next chapter we have her POV and she's describing the same conversation and the same text but it's completely different. I mean, you just literally wrote the text in the last chapter... did you forget it that quickly?? Do you not understand that readers don't just forget what's happening?? Dumb.
Prison: I was totally unclear on all the of issues with his brother, the prison, the bad guys in the prison, etc. Nothing was really explained.
Freya: This heifer is portrayed as an innocent doe for the first 35% of the book. She doesn't cuss. She's been bullied all her life. She says that she never fights back and she'll either run away or curl into a ball. She never stands up for herself against her co-workers and allows them to trip her or do other mean things. Then, Ridley tells her that she can't come visit him in prison because it's dangerous for both of them. What does that b*tch do??? She shows up. Not only that, but when the guards tell her she can't seem him she flips out. She assaults the guard, she starts cussing, she suddenly knows self-defense moves that her brother taught her. I'm like who the f*ck is this woman?!? It's not the same character you've described the past 20 chapters!!! Also, at the beginning she would never cuss. She said "gosh dang" and things like that. Second half of the book she's cussing like a sailor.
Suicide: So at the beginning they insinuate that Freya is contemplating suicide. Then after the incident at the prison, Freya goes home and her internal monologue is about how she "can't do this anymore" and she goes to get her brother's gun out of the safe. Highly implies she's going to commit suicide. Next chapter Ridley shows up at her house and everything is tossed around, the gun safe is open and all the guns are gone, her dog is missing. Of course he ends his thoughts with, "I could have never prepared myself for what I saw next." So dumb. So turns out Freya actually went to Houston for a shooting competition. I mean don't fucking tease suicide and then do that bullshit. Suicide is no joke. If you want to use it in your plot then do it justice and talk about how it affects real people.
So there's some bullsh*t about her leaving town and he goes after her. There's discussion on what Ridley was investigating. I'm still so confused by the FBI agent and his wife that was apparently raped at some point that we don't know about. Like I said - it's a mess.
There's so much more that's just contradictions. I mean one line she has a gun ready to shoot, but then she suddenly needs a different gun that's way across the room. What?!?!
If I had believed they loved each other and they had some romance, I could have overlooked some of the other crap but nope. This book was trash.
Ridley (Sheriff deputy, brother of Kitt, MC member, has a dead wife that he loved) met Freya (nurse, virgin, twat) in the last book when his sister, Kitt, was involved in a crash and ended up in the hospital. Turns out, Freya's brother was the person that was driving Kitt to her doctor's appointment and ended up dying in the wreck. In the last book we also heard how Ridley was going undercover in the prison for a few months. This one we hear more about him going to prison. While he's there, he has a phone to use for emergencies. Freya has it listed as her dead brother's phone and she starts texting. They develop a friendship from there.
So, there's some references to suicide (I've listed my issues with that fake storyline below), there's also the implication that Freya's neighbor is going to be a bad guy, that never pans out. Just random f*cking things that don't make sense, and also don't add up. Plus, I never believe that they're in love. At the beginning you can see how feelings could start to evolve and there was so much potential; however, that all stops at around the 30% mark. I think they only have sex twice in the entire book, then once in the epilogue. They never admit their feelings to each other. In fact, right up until the end Ridley is talking about his dead wife. At the epilogue he finally says he loves her. Um..... no. They never have anything that's heart-to-heart. No passion. No romance. Nothing that even resembles a relationship. At the end they aren't even living together. They just see each other occasionally. It's the worst excuse for a relationship I've ever read.
There were so many issues and contradictions in this fic. I just HATED it. It's the same trash writing that LLV usually puts out.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
Contradictions: He's in prison reading a text message from Freya. The next chapter we have her POV and she's describing the same conversation and the same text but it's completely different. I mean, you just literally wrote the text in the last chapter... did you forget it that quickly?? Do you not understand that readers don't just forget what's happening?? Dumb.

plugging in my rereads!! I love this book so much.
It's Lani Lynn so of course I'm going to love it.
Is there any point in me going into detail about how much I love it? Nope because its the same shit different book.
The story is great, the characters are great and it flowed seamlessly. It wouldn't be a Lani book if it didn't have hilarious one liners, super dramatic shockers, alpha heros and kickass heroines.
If you love her previous books you'll love this.
If you didn't get it from that^^^ I loved it.
- side note....
Just something that annoys me so I'm sorry if I offend it's just my opinion.
To me as a reader in my opinion. When an author finds there mojo in writing .. you know that thing that gives them authenticity as a writer.. something you know them well for and something there damn well good at?? They should stick to it.
So for example.. a lot of Lani's books are loosely tied around the same type of things. They have a lot of simularities and common ground. Her characters while not the same very much have that Lani stamp on them which makes them alike in some ways as do the stories and the emotions. If you don't like that then don't read a series it's that simple. It bugs me when you see people complain about how similar one book is from the next because hell fucking loooooow!!! Your reading a bloody series it's supposed to be loosely similar or it wouldn't be in a series.
Had to get that shit off my chest it's was bugging me. Lol.
P.s - Not that you'd ever read this Lani, but just if you so happen to by some tiny miracle....
you keep slaying your shit girl and I'll keep pre ordering your books. Because regardless of what you write I don't doubt for a second I won't love it. Which is why your one of 2 authors that I wait up until 12am to make sure that preorder got delivered safely to my kindle.

This is the fifth book in Lani Lynn Vale’s Uncertain Saints MC series. This series has been edgy and exciting, and Vale has given her readers something different and unexpected with each book. She’s tackled some difficult subjects and issues in the plots of these books, which has been a bit of a departure from her earlier works. For me, seeing an author stretch her wings and grow is exciting, and I think Lani has done a fantastic job with this series. I’ve come to love all of these somewhat broken, rough-around-their-edges bikers. They all may be a bit darker than Vale’s usual heroes, and they definitely skirt the line between right and wrong. But at their cores, these men are all still good guys and that’s what I expect from a Lani Lynn Vale hero.
From the beginning of the series, though, one of the characters who has intrigued me the most was Ridley. I’ve been looking forward to getting his story for a while. Ridley and Freya were two wounded and lonely souls, both of them so deeply immersed in their own grief. Ridley was consumed by guilt where his deceased wife was concerned, making it impossible for him to move on. Until he met Freya. His draw to her was so strong and powerful. Freya felt that pull to him, too, but she also had a lot to reconcile where it came to a relationship with Ridley. The load each of them was carrying became a little lighter, a bit easier to bear when the other was there sharing it. Would they both be able to set aside the guilt, the questions, their grief and grasp onto this chance for happiness and love?
This story was a pretty emotional one, but even still, Vale managed to weave her wonderfully unique sense of humor into this story. A bit heart-breaking at times yet still hopeful, this was a great story about moving forward after loss. Lani did a great job pulling emotion from her readers with this one. Sexy, funny, hopeful and emotional, Lani Lynn Vale’s Dirty Mother gets 5 smooches from me!

I don't think his issues with his dead wife were ever really expanded on or resolved.
The time line had me confused in some parts.
Didn't ever really feel the all consuming love between them. I'm thinking it was the deceased wife that stopped that for me. She was a constant reminder throughout the story. He had guilt a lot of the time. He compared everything. She'd slip into his thoughts for no reason. It was so weird how he kept saying how in love the two of them were but yet he would make little comments on how she would hate something he had loved and he listened to her and one particular scene he gets angry and admits that he hated the covers she picked out and how he hated a bunch of other stuff I can't really recall but i don't know how they were so in love when the didn't seem to be compatible at all.
I'm wondering what's going to happen between Wolf, Hannah and Raven. This is either going to go really bad or really good. I guess I'll be finding out soon. ;-)

This is the 5th book in the Uncertain Saints Series and I would have to say it is my favourite. This is Ridley's story. His wife was murdered 5 years ago and he can't let go and won't move on. A chance meeting in the hospital with a beautiful timid blonde nurse who is being bullied by the name of Freya makes Ridley start to think about a woman in a way that makes him feel guilty about his dead wife and her memory. Freya is also the sister of Ridley's dead coworker Corey. As Freya starts to feel more and more for Ridley he tries to push her away. However as Freya's life is put in danger due to Ridley the need to protect her and claim her as his takes over. This is the story of two broken souls brought together to mend each other. Strong Alpha Male with steamy hot scenes, suspense, drama and a good old fashioned love story to tie it all together. Five stars all the way.

Another great story in this ongoing series the characters were fantastic.

So, investigation 'is this another pushing away in this series' continues. Lol.
But I will be back to that. I want to talk about the blurb. It's misleading. Freya never blamed Ridley for her brothers dead. Not that I'm sad about it, considering that I wouldn't had been happy reader, if she was blaming Ridley, when he wasn't to blame for it.
Back on pushing away matter... Considering, Ridley's background, I for sure was expecting pushing away of guilt in this story. And not because of Freyas brother. But nope. This is a first book in the series that don't have pushing away. That was a nice surprise. There was putting some space between by Ridley, but it wasn't in the pushing away category for me. I was good with it. Ridley actually was pretty amazing with his feelings for Freya. He himself was pretty good too.
But while I'm good with Ridley, not so much with Freya. Though, I have to say there was one moment, when I was proud of her. I'm not a fan when h don't have steel in her backbone. I don't mind them to not to like violence, and try to avoid it if possible, but at the end if needs it, they stand for themself. Freya it's not like that. She let people to bully her. Everywhere. Everytime. And excuse she gave why she didn't stand up for herself? It's just that, an excuse. Yes, there is a time you needs to stand back, but there is a time you need to stand up. And there was too many times for me when she people to walk all over her. It's not healthy for my nerves. Lol. Though, good thing there wasn't that kind of scenes good part of the end of the book.
Another thing that I'm wondering about... Timelines between books. I'm wondering did I miss something, forget some details, or is it really don't match. There was things in 3rd and 4th books, that mention Ridley and Freya, that not really adds up here for me. Not that its messing up the story here, I'm just curious.

I am loving the Uncertain Saint series.
All the character are relate able to the average person. The drama is everyday drama that is not over the top at all. Thus connecting the readers to the characters even more.

I wasn't sure about this one, due to Ridley. In previous books it seemed like he was devoted to his dead wife, not sure how he would be able to get over that to even look at a new woman.
I loved Freya from the start, hated how she was mired down in her grief, hated how lost she seemed without her brother. It didn't help that she worked with horrible women, which only made her life more miserable. I loved how she got to know Ridley through texts, those texts seemed to be just what Freya needed. It seemed like Freya came back to life a bit, she became fiesty when she would visit Ridley, then reaching out in a way to connect to her brother, which was awesome.
The drama at the end was a bit crazy. It seemed like so many things connected, so many bad guys were working together to get Ridley and to really do damage to him they were going to those connected to him. I hated that Freya was put in a situation where she had to show off her skills, but was glad that she had them.

Ridley Walker lost the love of his life five years ago, and ever since that day, he’s been drifting through life, plotting revenge against the gang who destroyed everything he loved and taking care of his sister, refusing to allow anyone else into his heart who would have the power to destroy him if he got in too deep. But when fate and loss puts Freya Capone in his path, Ridley finds himself no longer wanting to be alone, and despite his mixed signals and his need to pull back from his feelings for Freya, Ridley realizes that if he still has the power to claim a woman who makes him feel even more than his deceased wife then he can give her himself and not fear the outcome but embrace it fully.
Ridley and Freya’s story is a bit different from the other couples’ stories in Lani Lynn Vale’s Uncertain Saint’s MC series because while there’s still danger and suspense, the plot focuses more on healing Ridley and Freya and allowing them to find a way to move on despite the heartache and painful memories that surround them. Freya is nothing like Ridley’s wife, Aerie, which is exactly why they fit together so well and give one another a new outlook on life and everything that it can be even while they continue to grieve for those they lost.
Ridley proves himself to Freya even though he has a few missteps along the way, and the fact that Freya is so accepting of Ridley’s mistakes and embraces the world in which he lives regardless of the danger it poses illustrates Freya’s strength and her determination to live life to the fullest.
Ridley is definitely an alpha male, but it’s not as in your face as Vale’s other heroes, which makes sense given Freya’s demeanor, how they meet, and the way they get to know one another as the story progresses. I love that readers get to see Apple and Kitt’s relationship from Ridley’s eyes in Dirty Mother. Kitt is a huge part of Ridley’s life and his bond and need to protect her keeps him going even when he doesn’t want to, which is clearly illustrated throughout the story.
Because Lani Lynn Vale has multiple series whose characters live close to one another, readers get to catch up with their favorite characters and then witness just how connected they all are when it comes to helping other people.
Wolf’s up next in the Uncertain Saint’s MC series, and I can’t wait to see what Vale has in store for him. I’m sure whatever happens will rock him to his core and expose what makes him who he is as a man and as a protector.

French & English reviews
Deuxième lecture :
Comme je suis en plein binge-reading des livres de Lani Lynn Vale, je relis ses anciens livres et je réalise que j'ai été un peu sévère avec mes chroniques (j'ai évolué niveau lecture et surtout je ne suis pas sûre de les avoir lu au bon moment ...) et surtout qu'il me manquait tout le "background" pour vraiment m'attacher aux personnages (un jour, il faudra que je relis tous ses livres dans le bon ordre xD)
Et finalement, je revois un peu mon jugement par rapport à ce livre et notamment le fait que j'ai bien aimé tout le drama autour de Ridley, son frère et son passé avec le gang, la romance mignonne et sexy et j'ai beaucoup aimé Freya qui est un personnage discret mais étonamment badass =)
PS : j'espère qu'un jour, Kesley aura son propre happy end !
Une romance sympa à lire avec des drames, de rebondissements, des émotions et des personnages auxquels on s'attache facilement =)
(j'avoue que les chroniques sur cette série ne sont pas très longues parce que je les ai lu quand j'étais en Croatie et que si les livres sont biens, ils ne sont pas inoubliables non plus ><)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Second reading:
As I'm in the middle of binge-reading all Lani Lynn Vale's books, I'm rereading her old books and I realize that I've been a little harsh with my reviews (I've evolved in terms of reading and above all I'm not sure I read them at the right time ...) and especially I lacked all the "background" to really get attached to the characters (one day, I will have to read all her books in the right order xD)
And finally, I revise my judgment a little about this book and in particular the fact that I liked all the drama around Ridley, his brother and his past with the gang, the cute and sexy romance and I really liked loved Freya who is a low key but surprisingly badass character =)
PS: I hope one day Kesley will have her own happy ending !
A nice romance to read with dramas, twists, emotions and characters to which one get attached easily =)
(I admit that the reviews on this series are not very long because I read them when I was in Croatia and that if the books are good they are not unforgettable either)
