The Vikings MC #6
War & Pieces
He'd wait forever for her. But the way things are going, forever might not be an option…
Relationships bring pain. Anna’s ex taught her that lesson. But unfortunately, her past isn’t content to stay in the past anymore. With her dangerous ex stalking her, now more than ever, she can’t afford to fall for anyone. Not even the man she’s been longing for since she first moved into the MC’s clubhouse…
Riggs would do anything for his club. And for Anna. Too bad she won’t let him. Because as much as he wants her, he can’t seem to convince her to open her heart to him. All he can do now is hope she’ll eventually decide to stop running from what they could have together…
But as it turns out, love is the least of their concerns. Powerful enemies are ready to wage war against them, while Anna’s ex lurks in the shadows. Can they find a way to protect everything and everyone they love—or will it all fall to pieces before Anna and Riggs can claim their happily ever after?

We pick up where we left off in the previous installment…
Holy heck Riggs and Anna’s story was One of those edges seat kind of reads , with plenty of action, violence, danger and amazing suspense…… and lord don’t even get me started on the twist and turns …. There is so much going in this installment
So, buckle up ladies and Gentlemen
this is another installment where the authors going to pull you in and she will not let you go until the very end
With each installment it feels like that I am invested more and more with these characters
So, if you’ve read any of my previous reviews you know that I am not a huge fan of cliffhangers so of course I gotta complain about it……

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: protector
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥
What a fantastic next chapter to the series! Anna and Riggs have been circling each other for a while now. Riggs has respected her walls and kept his distance, but now that Anna's crazy ex is upping his game and the club is facing more and more pressure from their enemies, Riggs has finally decided step up and see where this crazy attraction takes them.
Another fast paced, well written read by Cathleen Cole. Tons of action - all the way to the end. Riggs and Anna are awesome and perfect together and there are a lot of aspects of their character development that appeal to me. I love how protective Riggs is and how big his heart is. I liked how he knows it's Anna that he wants and is willing to do what he needs to do to get her. I like how Anna took control of her situation (as much as she could) despite having her humongous mountain looking out for her, lol. Overall, a great read :) This series just has some of the best characters and I'm going to be sad when it ends. Buuuuutttt.... I can't deny I am SO looking forward to the last book! That's the one I've been waiting for!
War & Pieces is the 6th book in the Vikings MC Series by Cathleen Cole. While the couple's story arc concludes with this book, there is an overarching storyline through all of the books and would recommend reading all the books in the series in order. The story is written in first person from dual perspective.

4.5 stars
I they can't find him, they can't catch him......
War & Pieces is the sixth engrossing book in The Viking's Rampage, an MC saga where intriguing sexy bad boys, thrilling action, suspense, and undeniably intense romance can be found. It is crucial to read these books in order, as each installment centers on a different member of the motorcycle club.
Riggs finds himself twisted up when the woman he loves is in danger, and they can't find the one responsible. Now he just has to get her on board with his plan to love her.
Ann finds herself in deep trouble when she is being stalked, and he will stop at nothing to break her apart, and she is dead.
I have said it before, but this series just keeps on getting better and better and is a great addition to this series, with its romance, plot, and overall storyline being expertly crafted by Cathleen and Frank.

This book is even better than the last one!
Riggs is better and their chemistry is amazing!
The sex scenes are hotter and the heroine is so great!!!
I started this series with Bass, the last book, but I’ve decided to start it before to read the last book!!!
This is the second time I’ve read a heroine who rejects to be an Old Lady when the biker asks! They even were together at that point but H knew she is the one!!! So gooooood! Heroine thinks is not good enough for him! Reverse everything in this series!!!
Safe book
Great couple
MC Club but more like a good samaritans/ vigilantes club,
Heroine is attacked by her ex

So good
I love this series. This was Riggs and Anna's book. They finally get together. Ghost is dead. This ends on a cliffhanger with them all arrested by The Syndicate and Steel is shot. Looking forward to Cade's book.

Holy moly
This book was freaking epic. Had me completely entranced from start to finish. Cathleen you absolutely did Rigg's and Anna's story justice.
Action, steam and suspence throughout and leaves you gasping for Cades story.

Riggs and Anna!
I’ve been waiting for their story and it didn’t disappoint! There was so much action in this one and I didn’t want to put it down. Can’t wait to read the next one after that ending!

The Vikings MC, Book 6
By: Cathleen Cole, Frank Jensen
Narrated by: Allyson Voller, Tyler Darby
Excitement, suspense and passion. What more can I ask for? Cathleen Cole brings another fabulous story to her Vikings MC series and this one featured Anna and Riggs. These two have had a definite chemistry in other books, and now it's exploding! Anna is young and Riggs has been giving her time to realize just who she belongs to. Slowly she is coming around and things with MC are about to change. But that does not keep the danger from coming. I love twists and turns and Cole brings them! Anna proves a to be quite the fighter, but her alpha protector is never far from her. Riggs is everything I love. He is protective, patient and passionate. There is a lot of buildup for the last in this series, and I cannot wait to see where Cole takes us. This series is amazing and I have loved every story!
Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby are this series and each time I hear them together, my ears are happy. They work well together and their voices for previous characters remain consistent from book to book. As Anna, Voller gives her a mature young adult voice, perfect for this character. Darby is strong, protective and wraps his voice around like a hug. These two are fabulous!

Riggs and Anna have been dancing around each other since the beginning of the series, and FINALLY they cement their future. Shew, what a relief...and I knew Riggs was a teddy bear underneath that gruff and jokester exterior so it was good to see more of the man underneath with a big heart. The underlying plot with the battles the MC are waging continue; providing action, violence, danger, and suspense as more twists come at them. Anna grows into her own and a fiery side continues to emerge. There is a major cliffhanger for the characters at the end...but eh I was too anxious for what was going to happen after book 5 came out in audio and this book was no where in sight for audio...so I may have cheated by borrowing ebooks in KU to skim through to satiate my appetite...so the cliffhanger isn't as heart stopping for me as I knew it was coming...but be forewarned if you haven't had your hands on the ebooks! Narration as always was great by Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby.

What a great instalment of the Vikings MC series
Book 6 of the series and it was a fab one!
Throughout the series we’ve seen Riggs be a flirt and have a reputation as a womaniser and although it was obvious he liked Anna and she liked him apart from flirty banter we hadn’t really gotten to see them together. That all changed in this book though and we got to see the relationship grow.
In typical Vikings MC style Cathleen kept the suspense and danger up and as much as the men of the MC are strong and protective she made sure to show that the females of the MC are just as capable too!
The MC is growing with new allies, new friends and new family members and they are aiming to turn over a new leaf if only they could get rid of their enemies first.
Be prepared for an amazing cliff hanger that will have you desperate for the next book.

Keeps me guessing.
This series just gets more complex as it goes. Every time I think I know who is good and who is bad, a twist is exposed and I’m left guessing. The interconnection between all the characters with each book I love. The fact Anna and Riggs have had a connection for a while is well known. But the two of them getting on the same page was perfect. It ends with me loving it and wanting more. TW/18+

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 🌶🌶🌶/5
Riggs and Anna <3 EPIC!!! I have waited so long for this match!! I loved how Riggs handled it all!! How we saw Anna lowering her guard and raising her self-esteem. The spice level was kicked up a notch in this story, that was for sure. That ending though... One more and it is over :(

This ending is leaving me stressed af. The Steele brothers are my favorite and the ending of this book has me in pieces.
I loveeee Anna and Riggs. They are perfect. This books was 6 ⭐️ for me. His banter and humor were perfection. He was the right amount of sassy and confident I needed. Him taking in a little boy, Anna being a badass and him falling first was swooney.
Probably one of the only covers that somewhat reflected how they described Riggs from the book. But as always, terrible fucking cover.

They just keep getting better and better
This is book 6 in the vikings MC series
Riggs an anna there like yin & yang, two opposites attract.
Their chemistry has always been there from the very 1st moment they layed eyes on each other.
For a year, they both fought their attraction to each other more, anna, then Riggs. She never felt like she was good enough for him.
Despite anna turning Riggs down to be his old lady, he still held out hope and never gave up on her.
Anna finally decided to allow herself to have the things she wanted, and that meant Riggs.
If anyone deserves love and happiness, it's them.
This story was packed with suspense, action, and some heated scenes, hehe
Loved this book just as I have the rest of this series

OMG! I LOVE this one! I waited and waited for it to come to audio and I was not disappointed! It is awesome!! It is so twisty and action packed! I enjoy all these characters but especially these two. I liked seeing Anne grow and make herself better and stronger. Loved seeing all the club members!
I did not like the ending since it seems like a cliffhanger. I eagerly await the next in the series and I am hoping/assuming it will be about the Prez!
I listened to this on audio. I get so much enjoyment listening to Tyler Darby and Allyson Voller portray these characters. They both do so well!

Finally!!
Finally Riggs and Anna’s story. For the past five books we have gotten a taste of their flirting but now they are finally together. This book starts out with an attack on Anna which brings her into Riggs’ arms. Anna goes through a lot of attacks and personal growth in this book but it all brings her closer to Riggs. This book ends on a huge cliffhanger but I’m okay with it because the next book is the anticipated duo, Cade and Flynn, and I can’t wait.

Emotional roller coaster!!
This is the sixth book in this phenomenal series and this is Ruth's and Anna's journey. This is a well written story which has emotions, suspense, danger, intrigue, humour, witty banter, twists, heartbreak, and love which all leads to a riveting and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Even though Riggs is the VP of the Viking's MC he has a big heart especially when it comes to Anna; their chemistry is off the charts. He is also very protective of her so when her ex-boyfriend begins to stalk her, Riggs will do anything to keep her safe. An action packed love story with drama that just may keep Anna and Riggs from their HEA.
Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby do an outstanding job narrating Riggs and Anna's story.

War has started. Are you ready?
This book was in your face adrenaline rush. So much was going on. Anna and her past. Riggs and everything going on. With more trouble coming their way, the story was nonstop. Anna needing to feel stronger not weaker, asks for help, and gives Riggs a chance.
Riggs steps in with his big heart and takes in a stray.
Add more gunfire, and dirty cops and you got a story you can't out down.

This is one to savor. Finally Riggs get his girl. Much fighting, a kidnapping, a new direction for the club, MC brothers are injured, old foes are banished…permanently and all this along with an HEA to be savored. Highly recommend this book and the series. No cheating, there is a cliffhanger but the next book is available for reading. Loved this one.

Loved the dual narration of Allyson Voller and Tyler Darby
Anna has one crazy ex, who is not leaving her alone. She built some high walls around herself . Riggs has kept his distance, but with her ex and problems happening with the club, he decides steps in.
Riggs and Anna are perfect together. Rigg has a big heart and is very protective.
Action, angst, romance and steam.

Riggs and Anna are perfect together. The chemistry was palpable. I love how protective Riggs is. He has such a big his heart. He knew Anna was what he wanted and was willing to wait and do what he needed until she was ready to be with him.
Really enjoyed this in audio. The narrators were new to me, but I really enjoyed them. Will definitely be checking out more by Tyler.

Anna & Riggs have been gravitating towards each other for over a year. But Anna thinks she isn’t good enough. Riggs is finally able to break through her walls and convince her to give her heart to him.
The club is about to go through some major changes.
This was angsty and filled with adrenaline and spice.
I’m looking forward to the next book!

can’t get enough of this series
There are no words. I love strong women for the men in mcs and this is a great series. The final chapter is coming which means Cade and Flynn might get their HEA. Just make sure no one dies and I’ll be there with bells on.

Great book
Wow just wow. This series is just so gripping that you get pulled in from the first chapter. The guys are a!l calling for women but each one comes with baggage that the club takes on. Mutual enemies are lining up for both the women and men.

The wait is always worth it. The love Riggs shows for Anna is what every lady wants to find. Riggs takes the “weight” off Anna’s shoulders that she can’t handle by herself so it can bring them together. Love their story ♥️
August 20, 2025
OH MY GOD. RIGGS. THIS BOOK WAS AN EMOTIONAL RIDE FROM BEGINNING TO END. AND THAT ENDING WTF. I JUST STARTED THIS SERIES IN AUGUST 2022 AND I CAN BELIEVE HOW GREAT IT IS. YOU GOT ME HOOK ON THIS AUTHOR.

VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION
An intense drama between the MC Club and multiple government agencies. Shocking danger, police corruption and violence causing many deaths and uncertain futures.
