When I met Riley Giddens I never expected this incredibly sexy man with colorful tattoos, smoldering eyes, and muscular body to own my heart. He’s part of Shattered Souls MC and they are trouble. Riley is careless in life, heartless in bed, and twenty years my senior. Still, I can’t stay away. I’m sucked in by his deep voice, demanding touch, and possessive ways.
When Federal Agent McKay shows up at my door, I’m up against a wall. I'm too deep into a world I want to avoid. Riley promises me he’ll handle it. He’ll keep me safe at all costs. This protective side of him only draws me in deeper and scares me more.
He’s in danger. Dealing with a dirty federal agent is one thing. Doing it without the knowledge of your club is something else entirely.
Riley’s need to protect me just might destroy us all in the end.
Heather Dahlgren writes Contemporary Romance, sprinkling each book with a bit of humor, a lot of naughty and true love. She self-published her first book in 2014 and continues to do so today. Her over active mind promises the stories are in no short supply.
Heather grew up and still resides at the Jersey shore. She loves being so close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pine Barrens. She is surrounded by the best of both worlds.
She is married to her high school sweetheart and has three kids. There is nothing more important in the world to her then her family.
When Heather isn’t writing you can find her getting lost in a great book, spending time with family and helping her fellow authors.
Even though it's part of a series, Riley can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the previous books, because they are really cool.
We've met Riley before and he's still his funny, irreverent, man-child self. He's impulsive and boisterous, but he's also loyal and caring. He and Gillian have incredible chemistry and their sexy scenes are insanely hot. And how can one say no to age-gap?
They're trying to find their way back together after the tragedies they endured, and to top it all, they need to get a dirty federal agent off their backs.
For someone older and experienced in that kind of life, I expected Riley to be way smarter. His impulsiveness and naivety pissed me off sometimes. Yet, the story was really interesting and fun.
My heart broke for Riley..to let Gillian in, for them both to start a relationship knowing there could be a bad outcome and that nothing good could come from it. Heartbreak was destine to come for them and destroy what they thought they could have. Trying for love and happiness was not meant for Riley. Gillian and Riley were in completely different lifestyles and generations. An age gap that could make them father and daughter, but love knows no age, but it does know how to ruin and repair hearts and lives, which is exactly what it did to them. Riley is risking his life and his position in the club to protect Gillian. He will do whatever needs to be done to keep her safe, because he loves her, but will it be worth it in the end. The pain in Gillian's eyes can never be erased, he has caused her loss, heartbreak, and has put her in danger, can that all be forgotten. Love Makes you Crazy. ~ Riley When you think you have control and the upper hand, but then realize everyone and everything you love can be taken from you, because of your bad decisions, that's when you know you are just one man and you truly cannot control all outcomes and need to hope you play the right hand. A real man knows when to fight and when to concede. ~ Gillian Gillian feels being afraid, alone and confused is no way to make decisions about love and life choices. She has no one to turn to and is stuck somewhere where she feels everyone is against her, but when she realizes what she is most afraid of it's like a light bulb goes off and everything falls into place, until it all comes crashing down. Loyalty and friendship is what it all comes down to and this MC has that through and through. I highly recommend this book! It was so good and I couldn't put it down!
Riley is intriguing, maddening and packed with a lot of punch. He hits the jackpot when he sees Gillian at the bar. They have a great thing for a while, even with her being Rachel's sister. But when certain things come to light she leaves Riley and as they both try to move on a new problem arises. This time it's the feds and Riley does what he has to in order to protect Gillian. They have a lot to work through to make it back to each other and they will fight every step of the way to make that happen. Every single book in this series has left me breathless and Riley is no exception.
This is the fourth book in this intriguing series and this is Riley and Gillian's story. This is a fast paced, action packed story, with danger, suspense, humour, witty banter, intrigue, twists, emotions, and love which all leads to a riveting page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Riley by Heather Dahlgren is book 4 in the Shattered Souls MC series. It’s the maddening story of Riley and Gillian. This story nearly had me tearing my hair out!!! These two make sooooo many bad decisions and don’t LEARN from them!!!
She has forgiveness issues…and he doesn’t think things through. Good story….but, these characters were tough to like!!! There’s murder, deceit, coercion, and somehow things STILL get worse!!!

Riley and Gillian are very different but are drawn to each other and can't deny their feelings. A tragedy pulls them apart and when trouble comes knocking for Gillian, Riley is determined to protect the woman he loves. This story has it all...drama, angst, heartbreak, love...it's so good and although their story is heartbreaking at times it is also so good.

He could never imagine being tied to one woman. One night he watches a sexy as hell woman flirting in a bar & getting blitzed. He decides to step in before she too far over her head. This begins an incredible adventure full of sexy times, pain and scary Feds asking for things Riley shouldn’t give. How can it end well?
This is a fast paced story filled with MC problems, danger, suspense, secrets, steam, and a page turning story that held my attention from the first page until the last.

Riley and Gilliam meet one night she was drunk who would have thought that would lead to Riley being black mail by a dirty agent wanting to take down his brother Zane.
This book was a real page turner from the very beginning with a well written storyline, a plot that flowed smoothly with some interesting twist thrown in. The characters are so well created you cann’t but feel for them. It definitely kept me totally glued to my kindle until the very last page.
An amazing addition to the series that'll pull you in from the beginning. It's slightly twisted with a dirty agent. Gillian and Riley have a tough road ahead of them that they've got to find a way through it. It's a page turner that won't disappoint. Definitely recommend reading.
