Scott "Skull" Crawford is living his dream. He's part of the Steel Patriots MC designing and building some of the most amazing motorcycles on the planet; living and working with his fellow brothers; and for the most part, avoiding the outside world. The scar on his face has forced him to feel as though he needed to hide for years. That is until a tiny little bit of energy, with long blonde hair and huge green eyes walks in the garage door and needs his help. She's turning his whole world upside down, and damn if he doesn't like it.
Willa Ross is a nerdy software designer who's only trying to do something nice for her oldest brother. When he and her younger brother both disappear, she has no clue what to do. Finding her way to Steel Garage, she meets the man she's been communicating with for months and he's more than she bargained for...way more! He's a mountain of a man that makes her heart stop and her body flush in all the right ways. Now she just has to convince him of that and that they deserve a chance.
The lamb will pursue the lion.
Will the tiny Willa take on Goliath and win? Or will they both win?

The Gentle Giant
This is a beautiful story. Our hero Skull is a big man with a big heart. He also has a problem he doesn't really know how to act around a woman that he's attracted to, he has a scar on his face that because one woman acted likes she was afraid of him, he didn't want to go through that again plus because he's so big he's afraid he might accidentally hurt any girl he was with. Then our heroine, Willa who is looking for her two lost brothers.Together these two quickly while searching for the brothers discover they want to get to know one another. There's plenty of action. It reads quickly. There is sexual content involved.

Coast Guard Hero- SKULL
Skull aka Scott served in the Coast Guard with distinction, during that time he received a very noticeable facial scar that he is self conscious about. He joined the Steel Patriots after his time in the Guard and biles custom bikes. Skulls artwork/airbrush work brings Willa into his world. Willa wanted to surprise her brother with a custom bike; it’s beautiful. However, her brother is missing. Wait, both her brothers are missing!!! What’s a girl to do?
She goes to the Steel Patriots custom bike shop and asks for help. Falls in love. And gets to live happily ever after - once all this mess with her brothers is cleared up.

Skull and Willa
Great story for the big man with the scar down his face that just made him more of a hero and the tiny woman with a big appetite and a smart business sense. Her and her two brothers were adopted and from different ethnic backgrounds, but then the parents both died and Craig took care of his siblings and was in the Army, but I guess him thinking that he deserved more in life, he sold his country and siblings out because of his greed and was a totally deranged person. Thank goodness for the Steel Patriots to the rescue once again. Happy reading.

This one was interesting as it's not usually the guy who is so insecure about his worth to a woman. But Skull definitely had that issue and Willa had to talk to him about what she saw in him multiple times before he could see it.
Willa's issues were interesting too. Things sure weren't what they seemed and the more that we learned the worse things were. I'm glad things were fixed in the end and the proper people were punished.

Great!
I chose this rating because this was really a pretty good book. This was a book of compassion, kindness, protecting yourself, and realizing your flaws and dealing with self-esteem. I think Skull and his little spitfire made a great couple. I really enjoyed this book. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

His little Tinkerbell
What else can I say? Yet again another Mary Kennedy story I loved. I loved that she was so unconditionally in love with him and wouldn't back down. I loved that she made him see that he was more than his scar and he was beautiful to her. I loved this relationship, I really did and I can't wait to read Blade!

Confused on the acronym
The author keep referring to CIC, that confused me as I am familiar with military acronyms. I even tried to look it up, I am wondering if it was supposed to be CID?
