Trace

Perdition MC #3

by B.E. Kelly

I was born to be alpha to my pack—my family. I walked away from my responsibilities, joining the Marines to see the world. I just never expected to fall for Adriana Lopez while I was stationed in El Salvador. She owned my heart until the night she lost everything because of me. Now, she’s dead and there will be no way to tell her how sorry I am. I’ll just have to live with the guilt since there is no way to make amends.

I walked into Tito’s Bar expecting to deliver my news to Trace and keep my walls in place. I learned a long time ago that no man was worth the price of losing everything and everyone you love—not even Trace Rios. He was supposed to be dead but that all turned out to be a lie. Now, I have no choice but to face him and give him the truth—he has a five-year-old son who’s turning out to be more of a handful than I could have ever imagined. I watched him turn into a wolf right in front of my eyes, just like his father and now, I’m faced with no other choice than to tell Trace about him. I can’t go it alone anymore. I need help to raise our little wolf and if that means turning to the only man I’ve ever loved, I’ll do it.

Trace is the third book in the Perdition MC Shifter series by BE Kelly.

Loved reading about Trace and Adriana’s story. This book was a little different than most. It combined several of my favorite tropes into one story. Second Chance, MC, and PNR are the tropes for this book. Trace and Adriana was told by Trace’s trusted friend told each of them that the other was dead. Only recently has he told Adriana that he believed that Trace was alive. Adriana had so many mixed feelings involving Trace but one thing she did know was that she had to find him and tell him he had a son. For one thing, he was a shifter and while Adriana knew she could handle raising him as a human she did not know the first thing about shifters. The second was that it felt like she was lying and being dishonest by not telling Trace about his son. When Adriana walked into the bar where Trace’s friend, John, gave her the address to she shocked Trace. Adriana wanted to talk with Trace alone but Trace told her that she could tell him anything in front of his brother and father and even though she would have preferred to tell him in private she told him in front of his father and brother. Trace was even more shocked, one thing that did come out was that Trace told Adriana that he was told by John and she died the night the rest of her family died and Adriana told Trace that John had tracked her down and told her that Trace had died. They had so many questions and wanted answer as to why John would deceive them. When Trace went to John’s house the house blew up. Around the same time someone had tried to break into the motel where Adriana had her mom and her son, Alex, to wait for her and the result was Trace convincing Adriana to move into his house so he could get to know his son and he could better protect them. Trace knew that he still loved Adriana and wanted to be a part of Adriana’s life and eventually claim and marry her but Adriana was scared to trust her Trace. When Trace and Adriana first were in a relationship and knew each other things had ended badly and now Trace was determined to win Adriana back. I won’t tell you what happened as you will have to read it for yourself. I don’t want to spoil the whole book for you. I will say that they had a lot of issues they needed to work out between them. BE Kelly turned out another great book in the Perdition MC series. I can’t recommend this book enough as there is a little bit of everything that people love about second chances, MC romances, and PNR romance not to mention some very steamy and 🔥🔥💥💥 scenes. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Moody, broody, and always angry.

Trace gave up his position as Alpha to his pack and leader of the family when he decided he wanted to join the Marines at eighteen. He handed over his position to his younger brother Santiago ‘Rios’ Rios, and he has been a good Alpha for the Perdition MC. Now Rios and his wife, Aylen have to make some changes in their lives since they are expecting their first pup and Rios is ready to hand the Alpha position back over to his brother, Trace. Trace’s past will resurface, and secrets will be revealed, along with betrayal. Trace hasn’t let his wolf out in five years, will he be able to control him if he lets him out now?

Adriana has had five years to come to terms with her life and the loss of the only man she has ever loved. When she finds out that he is alive and living in New Orleans, she knows she has to go see him and talk to him. She doesn’t know if she still loves him or still hates him for how things turned out in El Salvador, but she knows she has to talk to him. Trace and Adriana are both in for a surprise when she walks into Tito’s bar.

I have loved Trace from the beginning. He’s moody and broody, but he is also very sexy. That sexiness becomes more apparent in his story. He and Rios are working to repair their relationship as well as working to get their parents to repair theirs as well. There are a lot of secrets that come to light in this story and they could destroy or repair relationships. I wanted to scream and Adriana and Trace to talk to each other and open up so that they could find their HEA. It was so frustrating. I love these two together. The story has angst, action, secrets, and betrayal. It’s an easy read and I hated for it to end, although with the chapters at the end, I cannot wait for the next stories in this series and Gray’s story to come out. The men of Perdition MC are a family and loyal to each other, well most of them are anyways. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers that enjoy shifters, MC’s, angsty, Alpha stories.

Trace Rios loved a woman when he was in the military, but she turned away from him after her family was killed after her brother gave him information. After finding out she was killed by the gangs, he's denied his wolf and only half lived these past five years.

Adriana Lopez thought Trace was dead, so when she discovered she was pregnant with his son, she made the best of it, until her five year old boy turned into a wolf.

These two were lied to and only discover each other after Adriana is told Trace is alive. She tracks him down for their son and all the old passion and feels are back as if they were never parted.

Their story focuses mostly on their coming back together, repairing old hurts, Trace getting to know his little boy and why someone has lied and betrayed them wanting to keep them separated.

While their passion is hot and steamy, their relationship goes hot and cold and it was hard to stay connected to them.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/

The next adventure from B. E Kelly. An adventure from page one of Trace and Adriana starting their love story in a war zone. In another country full of danger from more than the enemies. They wanted to have love but life got in the way and they were separated. Tradey and lies tear them apart for years. Now they find their way back to each other. Trace finds out know that not only the woman he never stopped loving is here with his son. Trace is a wolf shifter and so is his son Alex. Adriana want Trace back as a friend, lover, husband and father\mentor for Alex. Danger is at their door threating to take away their future yet again. Now can the whole family including the wolf pack help find the danger. So these two\ three can finally have their HEA. I couldn't put down this book until the danger is gone and the wolves run free. With the pack at peace.

When i was first introduced to Trace i didn't like him, i thought he was awful to Rios, but now, after reading what he had gone through, having the love of his life Adriana, turn her back on him, even though i could understand her point, made me rethink, and that was just the prologue.
Five years go by and this is when the real story starts and we find out about deception and betrayal, to say more would spoil the story, so I'll just make a point of saying i really love Trace and Alex, want to know who Alex is, grab a copy.

I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

Trace is the President of shifter MC club Predictions. When his past love comes walking in the door of the bar with a big surprise, he is thrown for a shock. Someone who he considered a best friend has been keeping secrets from Trace and is out to hurt his family. Trace and his MC need to find him first to try and get answers. This book is filled with deception, love, loyalty, twists and turns. Another great read by BE and I look forward to the next book!!

I’ve been waiting for Trace’s story and let’s just say it didn’t disappoint.
This was so well written and the backstory we needed to read. Explained so much.
Arianna and Trace... true love
Alex... well you can’t help but love him.
Total page turner... couldn’t put this one down.
I was given an ARC it voluntarily chose to review

Trace

I really enjoyed Trace and Adriana's story. Her mother is a piece of work and so are his parents. They were e better off without all the squabbling I tell you. Trace's father is a dead beat and plays the victim so well. He was lucky his mate didn't bop him upside the head just being I n the same room as him.

Trace is the third book in the Perdition MC Shifter series and Trace and Adriana’s story. Trace and Adriana are reunited years after thinking each were dead. It’s a book filled with lies, deception, betrayal, and love.

[Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is such a feel-good story between Trace and Adriana with some danger and angst thrown in. It doesn't overpower their story however and they come to terms with what they thought was real, wasn't. Alex will steal your heart.

[Kim Kurtz · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a beautiful story! Trace and Arianna being together is how fate saw their destiny. I loved little man Alex, so grown for all of his five years. This story was a true lost and found love story with a child thrown into the mix. I didn’t want to put down the book once I started. Great read.

I’m loving this shifter MC series. Trace and Adriana’s second chance love story is action packed. It’s filled with deception, unknown threats, and little wolf that will warm your heart and make you laugh.

Great read

Book 3 and the story carried on. There will always be someone out hunting the shifters but when they go after these guys families all bets are off. This is Trace's book of the love that he lost and thought dead.

I loved Adriana and Trace's book. Their story is a combination of Second Chance, MC and PNR. This series gets better and better with each book. I am excited for what's next.
