LOVE how the two authors are working together on dynamic universe
I do NOT consider this to be a STAND-ALONE read. That is because there are two series, written by two authors, about two different MCs, that unite together to tell the readers about Tenillo, Texas. Therefore, for maximum reader satisfaction and to prevent spoilers, the first story (Boss from the Time Served MC) needs to be read first, followed by the second (Sin’s Enticement from the Aria’s Infidels MC) and the third (Hook from Time Served), and then this one about Executioner and Skye. That is because there are multiple reoccurring characters, overlapping / concurrent timelines and overarching themes.
Cee and Ciara are focused on telling us about the people that are determined to clean up and save their city from coercion, drugs, blackmail, extortion, murder and whatever other nefarious crimes are being committed in the shadows. So these need to be read in the recommended order weaving back and forth between the two series.
While these men and women are not afraid to get their hands dirty, it is to protect their family and town. They came together to form a better life where they could live together by a certain code that is protective of those they care about. These are not the stereotypical bikers that are themselves running drugs, guns, protection rackets, etc. They involve former military and ex-cons convicted under extenuating circumstances.
I discovered by accident Boss the first in the series about Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman, which lead me to Sin’s Enticement, the first in the series for Ares Infidels MC. These combine to build a dynamic and ever changing story universe with each new reveal and I for one am looking forward to the next in the series.

There are very few grammatical issues primarily comprised of incorrect word tense, punctuation issues (I.e. extra inserted period), missed words and extra inserted words. I am mentioning these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.
