I gotta be honest, I'm not entirely sold on the whole Lady Guardian Biker Club World. Nothing much happens within the club besides ride-alongs and endless (but much needed) charity events. No blood is ever spilled, so I just see them as weekend do-gooders who aren't ever bad to the bone!

I liked the set-up of this story and the characters. Lots of sad and funny moments. Hero and heroine are both likable. Recommended: Read It!

Graham is ready, but he has to earn her

Siera is leading the rollout with a story that’s filled with sexual tension between two people who want to be together but have to get past the just sex portion.
A fast paced, book throwing read. That was funny.

Review:

"Lady Guardians: Blindsided: A Bachelor of Shell Cove Crossover Novel" by Siera London

My Rationalization:

I was glad Shayla and Graham were finally together. I was sorry that Shayla didn't share her illness with Graham earlier however that was understandable why she hadn't done so. I was glad Shayla was able to get the help she needed. After all of the drama and emotions coming out with both of them having their issues, we finally get a good story that ended well for these two.

This is a quick and easy read. The storyline is well-crafted, intriguing, suspenseful, has drama and steam. The characters are defined, and likable with sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

Lady Guardians: Blindsided: A Bachelor of Shell Cove Crossover Novel (The Bachelor of Shell Cove)

Shayla and Graham hooked up frequently as friends with benefits. Who knew their feelings would become much stronger. This story discusses a serious topic as they look forward to their HEA. He is a Lady Guardians man.

This book....OMG, I cried so many tears! There is no other way of preparing for this book, but to have tissues handy. This was a book that was well written, but really emotional.

Shayla is a strong woman, who has worked hard to get where she is in life. She's got goals, and the determination needed to achieve them. When life knocks her down, she tries to handle everything on her own, but finds friends and support when she least expects them. The Lady Guardians accept her as one of their own, and are there for her when she feels like she has no one she can turn to.

Graham's woman has pulled a disappearing act, and he's determined to find out what is going on. While they don't have a traditional relationship, he knows what he wants, and is going to get it, one way or another. What he finds is the last thing he expected, and now he has to rethink his strategy.

This book is one of those that is so packed full of emotions, you feel exhausted when you are done reading. It's an amazing story of second chances, redemption, and hope that made me feel so much, I'm just not sure how to put it into words. An absolute must read!

Graham, visiting Washington DC from Florida, makes a bar hookup with Shayla. Their steamy, mind-blowing sex draws them together over several years. Then there’s a 9-month hiatus when he doesn’t come visit, and she ignores his phone calls. Graham decides he wants to make her his full time woman, but she resists. They both harbor secrets, thinking to themselves, “I’ll come clean tomorrow or the next day.” But fate conspires against them and reveals their secrets. Shayla resists his explanation and promises, and her biker group, Lady Guardians, has her back. These feisty women won’t take crap from Graham OR Shayla. But can love grow after trust is broken, or will they face challenges together and grow stronger? This was a great story, wonderful characters, and I hope there’s a sequel!

Real Love With No Boundaries

I really enjoyed the story I'm a survivor and this book really hit home for me. I'm glad that Shayla had the Lady Guardians and Graham. Their relationship as just sex but, it turned out to be so much more. Shayla is a strong sister doing what she felt she had to do to take care of herself during that critical time in her life. Graham also had to take time to take care of something in his life. I absolutely love that he was so persistent about Shayla from the very beginning he called her his woman and in his mind that's exactly what she was. I love the way the subject was written about it is a terrible disease and I hope no one has to go through it. Support and faith will bring you through anything. Great job on this book Ms. London 🥰.

Shayla was more than a 'piece of ass' to Graham. In the Shell Cove Crossover Novel (I need to read Ave and Logan's story, my interest is piqued.) Graham met Shayla at a low point in his life and they carried on a tryst for three years. Until they both went ghost on each other, Graham got his situation under control and came looking for Shayla. Shayla wasn't having any of at tried to push Graham away before he could learn her secret.

Graham came to DC to claim his woman Shayla and he was taken no prisoners unless it was her for the rest of their lives.

Wow!

This book totally “Blindsided “ me! I wasn’t expecting the heavy hit to my heart. Shayla’s such a brave strong and capable woman. The strongest woman has shown her truest beauty when she allowed herself to be vulnerable and shared her fear. Graham was a mystery to me. Strong, Alpha but somewhat lacking. I liked him but needed him to be more take care and take what’s yours. His slight flaw didn’t diminish my 5 star rating. Me. London is a spectacular writer. I’m so glad I discovered her books! Well done Ms. London! Well done!!

I want more!!!

I want more. I really enjoyed reading Graham and Shayla's story. Love is not always going to hit you in the most conventional way. When it hits you, you have to hold on to it because life is short. Life can get in the way, but with love you can make it through whatever life throws at you. I want to see more about what life is like for Graham and Shayla. Do they have the daughter that they dream of? Does he stay in VA? We need an epilogue to give us an update on these two along with the Lady Guardians DC Chapter.

Enjoyed this one!

I loved the dynamic between Graham and Shayla. Each learned that it takes more than passionate lovemaking to make a long term relationship work! In their secrets lay their fear of being truly vulnerable to one another. In the end, they were both blindsided by the depths of their love for one another. This was a good read and piqued my interest in other Lady Guardians titles as well as other books written by Siera London.

Graham is a force of nature and Shayla wouldn't have it any other way, or would she? She has avoided him for nine months and followed her treatment plan by herself. He has his own life to clean up. Read this book full of twists, turns and secrets and enjoy the ride. Sierra London is the best at her craft! I just want to know: When will the rest of the Lady Guardians get their series of stories as only you can tell them ? I look forward to them all.

A well written compelling & kinda sexy novel
Previous reviewers have covered the story so I will just comment on the flawless writing of this gifted author. Such a compelling page turner, she takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions & I highly recommend having tissues close to hand.

🥰🥰🥰

There is a lot more emotion within the story. The heroin dealing with a devastating life-changing diagnosis. While, also trying to establish her self within society as an individual of remarkable abilities working to establish her self independently.
Overall, very good read. Possibly, the best love story of the series.

The concept of a female biker club was new to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. This was my first book, I believe, by the author and it didn't disappoint. Our main characters did not disappoint, and the book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. I was not aware that this was a series or world spread over many authors. Can't wait to give those a read.

Pain and love

Graham was on a mission to regain the love of his life. Shayla was in the midst of a physical and internal battle. Graham came to DC to get his lover. Shayla was trying to escape him for fear of him discovering her secret. Graham had a secret of his own. Great read with hope and promise.

Shell Cove

This was a nice Lady Guardian/Shell Cove crossover even though Shell Cove isn’t the setting. My main take away from this book was that women need to take charge of their health and know that they have a village to help them.

I enjoyed it!

I love alpha males! Graham was that and more!! Shayla was very independent which inadvertently made me mad how she tried to do everything on her own. It was her strength and vice. I enjoyed it, albeit short, but great and hot! Love the Lady Guardian reads!
