Wild love always happens when you least expect it.



Sketch…


I’d never expected to fall in love in my lifetime. I’d made plans and falling in love sure as shit wasn’t one of them, but where Nancy California was concerned my mind and heart were at war.
She was wild and beautiful, and all I could think about was having one taste of her…I should have known that one taste would never be enough.

Nancy was unlike any woman I’d ever met; untamed, gutsy, and ready to fight me every step of the way. She didn’t want me, or the complication one night with me would give her… good thing I was prepared to go to war to get her in my bed and out of my head.

Nancy…

Miles City, a place full of bad memories that I swore I’d never return to, yet there I was back in the little town I once called home. Those memories soon became the least of my problems when Sketch roared into my life clad in black leather and riding a motorcycle, all six foot of attitude and raw savageness.
Sketch was dark and dangerous, a thunderstorm too alluring to resist getting drenched in. All I could think about was him, claiming my body for his own. But he was everything that was wrong for me, and if I wasn’t careful, the chaos we created together would leave me broken-hearted.

We had no future.
We were two very different people, on two very different paths.
Yet I couldn’t help the whispering of my heart telling me that if we got this right, together we could be the perfect storm. Together, we would find wild love.

Sketch is my Favorite Devil’s Highwaymen!

Sketch is the 2nd installment of the Devil’s Highwaymen Nomad series. It is phenomenal! I loved how Sketch saw what he wanted and went for it! Nancey didn’t stand a chance!. Nancey’s past had caused her to put up walls and keep all men at arms length. However, Sketch was determined to tear them down, pull her in close, and make her realize that she is his woman. Ms. Riley created a strong woman that is a perfect match with her strong, stubborn Alpha Nomad. This story has action, heartbreak, and plot twists that will keep you turning the pages. I also was happy to find out more about how Crank is doing, and meet some amazing side characters that need their stories told! If you are considering buying Sketch, just 1-Click now, you won’t regret it! This Nomad series just keeps getting better! Can’t wait for the next Nomad book featuring Battle!
May contain mild triggers for some readers.

Sketch is the second book of the nomads and boy did Cee Cee bring it.

This was amazing and even though I absolutely adore crank he doesn't hold a candle to sketch, A hard as nails bad boy with a soft and gooey centre, he melted me.
Nancy is a feisty soul with a loud mouth and a huge heart, I love that she doesn't take no s*** from anyone.

This story is impossible to put down and another reason why Cee Cee Riley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors ❤

Bring on Battle❤

Sketch is the second book of the Nomads series and it just keeps getting better. Sketch is the MC tattoo artist, he's not a good man at all. He's a man who loves his life on the open road but he may have just his reason to stay in one place. Nancy is no pushover she makes him work for every moment with her. With each book we get little snippets about troubles facing the club. Another good instalment in this series.

Nomad finds home 5 stars

Wowza! Another brilliant MC ride by Claire C. Riley. She takes us into the world of MC and gives us a brilliant and passionately brutal view of the life and love the bikers.

Sketch and his insta connection with Nancy made me swoon. The insta everything about them made my heart giddy. But as usual there's a monkey in the wrench and boy did the ride make my heart speed up, both with what was going on in the club and Nancy.

Sketch is a nomad, he doesn't want roots. What happens when you slam into an object that makes your heart stutter and your soul stand still to take in the breath of fresh everything? That's what happened to Sketch when he meets Nancy. Nancy isn't like any other women at the club or women he's met along his nomad life. She's different, sexy as hell and a firecracker to boot.

The club mess that kept Sketch and Crank in Vin's vicinity made me wanna punch certain officer in the nut. Cos what was revealed at the end, almost made me lose my mind. Lex, Vin, Sara, Skull, Skate and everyone made an impression. I hope there's more about Sara and his man cos that is one storm that will either blow up in your face or take you in by surprise.

Last and not the lease, I loved, loved the intense alpha male that Sketch becomes about Nancy and how they are with each other. Whether they will survive the mayhem and live to see the day is another question. To find out, 1-click this awesome book 2 in the The Devil's Highwaymen Nomad series.

I really like Sketch's attitude. He is a I want it, is mine type of guy. It's really what makes this story entertaining. The way he gets Nancy to be his is a bit fast but it's understandable when there are so many other things happening with the club. Nothing is ever easy for this bikers. That's another thing I like about this book and really the series as a whole, there is something fishy happening with club business and in each new book you get a bit more info on it. With each book they get a little closer to solving their problems.

In Sketch's case aside from the club he has a firecracker on his hands. I think it's great that Nancy has a strong will and is guarded with her feelings because it makes him respect her like no other man has. The possessiveness and protective nature comes with the territory but it's all good. Even a strong woman needs that sometimes. And you can never deny how sexy a man can be by being so sure of himself. Sketch just has a good spirit about him that will make you like him more and more.

I liked Sketch's story.
The nomad tattoo artist. Sketch is a great character although he was a bad A biker he had his swoon worthy moments too.

SKETCH is a slow burn with club business and other stuff going on until he meets Nancy the small feisty woman with attitude.

It's lust at first sight for Sketch, he even begins to get feelings of wanting to stay in one place until he can have Nancy, that's saying something for a nomad.

Just one problem though, Nancy isn't single and it's not a man Sketch has to win her from.

I liked Sketch, Crank was in this story too from the first book in the series and I liked seeing how Crank was doing. The plot though, I struggled with some things and I cant really say I liked Nancy's actions or choices. I like a woman with backbone but that's as far as it went with my likes for her.

A book is a journey and I felt some things were amiss. Sketch's previous relationships for one, family, background that sort of thing and what happens to Nancy's girlfriend?

Told in Sketch's pov. Leads to hea.

Simply put, this was brilliant! Action-packed and full of heat this wad another five star read by Miss Riley. The world of the Mc and and our leading man for this read Sketch continues as we see events unfold from a different point of view, the impact Hardy and his actions in earlier reads are far reaching and have deadly consequences for many. Deals go wrong and lives are in the balance. At the same time Sketch finds his leading lady in a vicious little package that takes just a little more work than he is use to. But she is most definitely worth the effort. Life was not kind to her and Sketch is more than willing to make the culprits suffer. This one has a more satisfying ending than poor Cranks and introduces us to our next Mc who no doubt will be as interesting as the rest. What a ride!

Wow wow wow
5star isn't enough for Sketch or any of The Devil's Highwaymen Norman's
Sketch, his name speaks for himself a tattoo artist with a passion for ink. A bad ar** biker that get what he wants, or so it seems...
then along comes Nancy a sassy hot head that has been avoiding her passed untill she is needed back "home"
I love when reading you feel like your there, you think you know what's coming next to only realise you were completely wrong and it's so much more.
Cee Cee Riley your talent is amazing and I love your work.x

OMG! This is soooo hot!

The story of Sketch and Nancy is a bit unexpected but super hot.

This second episode of the nomads storyline continues to develop an overarching storyline involving characters we've either met, only briefly or not at all. I'm looking forward to reading future installments to see where the author is leading with this!

In the foreground though is the path to HEA for Sketch and his old lady.

In true MC style, Sketch defends his woman's honour in keeping with what we've now come to expect from these Nomads of the Devil's Highwaymen.

Short but good

Sketch & Nancy's bonus a good one. Nothing too deep or intense. The MC almost takes a back burner for the lovestruck pair. Good characters. Good story. Few errors along the way. I enjoyed it. It ends at 82% which drives me nuts. Scored down for that.

Sketch is book 2 in the Devils Highwaymen Nomads Series. We met Sketch during book 1 of the series Crank, and know he is a tattoo artist and he left to become a nomad alongside Crank. This novel skips forwards a year or so and we now see a still unattached but sober and happy Crank throughout Sketch's story, which is nice to have an update on how he is doing.

Sketch's story is focused around club business, some questioning of the national president of the Devil's Highwaymen Hardy (who we met in Crank) and something dodgy is definitely going on there! Sketch's love interest is a fellow tattoo artist and seemingly bad ass chick Nancy. The scene where Sketch first lays eyes on Nancy was just perfect. In a club, where Sketch is with his club brothers when he spots her across the room with Lust in his eyes. He sits back at watches as Nancy takes down a guy getting a little too close for her liking and Sketch adores her for it; but his protective alpha instincts kick in. He soon discovers that he may not be Nancy's type considering she is their with her lover and girlfriend Tammy. Sketch being Sketch he isn't going to let that stop him from claiming Nancy as his woman.

Sketch and his pursuit of Nancy is everything you want it to be, the guy talks the talk and walks the walk. As he does he breaks down her walls and discovers there is more to her story, leading to a vulnerable;e woman underneath her tough girl exterior. Not only that but that their paths intertwine where the ATF is concerned in club business too.

There were some fantastic moments in the book, I just loved the way Claire wrote Sketch in general, his mannerisms and his speech were spot on for his character. Then his unrelenting game of cat and mouse with Nancy culminates to a hot as hell scene that involves a motorbike, so much chemistry and a whole lotta rain! Sketch as a novel left me more fulfilled than Crank did in a well rounded storyline way. I am super curious about what is going on with Hardy and where Crank and Sketch are heading to next. Bring on Book 3 Battle.

Sketch is the second book in the Devils Highwaymen Nomads series, and it's a fast-paced story, packed with lots of action and drama and I'm really starting to get addicted to this MC crew! I loved Sketch's character and how he went after what he wanted. Yeah, it was a bit fast how he fell for Nancy, but he was an all-in type of guy and he was a goner as soon as he saw her in that bar. But while I enjoyed the story......there was just a little something missing for me. And I think that's because I didn't get Nancy's side of how everything played out, especially with it being an instalove type story - and her having been in a relationship when she meets Sketch.......and how things with his crew intertwined with things from her past. Just would have been nice to see certain scenarios through her eyes and not from Sketch. Still hooked on this series and MC crew, but since I haven't read the original Devils Highwaymen series, think I need to do that before continuing on with the nomads.

Claire has done it again, this is so good, i couldn't put it down.

Sketch is one hell of a character he is charming, witty and so sexy and his alpha male ways made me swoon.
He sees Nancy and is instantly drawn to her, he cant take his eye's off her and his persuit for her is unrelenting
Their chemistry crazy, the love in this is so raw it grips your soul.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cant wait for the next book.

Second book in this series and I'm loving it. The author takes a unique approach to the H winning the h's love, not from a man but another woman. Loved Sketch's character in the first book and this second book really made me feel Sketch's determination to win Nancy's love. I'm really looking forward to the next in this series.
