Marler ‘Kitty’ Barnes has always been the fun guy who doesn’t stick around after the fun is over. Even in his old profession, he was always quick to take off once the job was done. After his release from prison, he focused on other things but never lost that urge to run as soon as things got serious. When he meets a woman who is just as gun-shy as him, it throws him for a loop and makes her even sexier somehow. His first instinct is to let her go, but that’s impossible since she’s all he can think about.

Until a few years ago, Pandora Copeland led a sheltered life. Marrying straight out of high school and raising children in an ultra conservative family kept her from experiencing the fun and adventurous young adulthood that most people take for granted. Now that she’s divorced and out from under the thumb of her ex in-laws, Pandora is ready to spread her wings and fly. With her new business venture gaining popularity in Tenillo, she’s exposing herself to all sorts of new things, and one of those just happens to be Kitty.

After spending so much time in an unhealthy relationship, she’s not sure she can trust another man to stay in her life. Kitty’s found the woman of his dreams, but he’s got his own reservations about a relationship with Pandora. Can she learn to trust him, and can Kitty trust that she’ll stick around?

My favorite book of the year so far. Laugh out loud moments. Two amazing MCs. Kids that are hilarious. And of course catching up with the rest of Time Served MC and the crazy coven.

This one had a couple of the best first meetings between a couple. I liked that Kitty was instantly smitten with Pandora at the first chance meeting, loved it more that Pandora took advantage of the second meeting to get to know Kitty in a very different way. But I think the best of the book was Pandora and her reaction to Kitty's family, Pop and his guys, the guys in the MC and the crazy coven. I think it was the crazy coven that freaked her out more, those women are blunt and straight talkers, whether a person is ready for them or not. Pandora soon learned that she could trust Kitty and all the rest. It was fun to see Kitty with Pandora's girls, better was the odd request that was thrust upon them at the end. You could see it coming and knew both Kitty and Pandora would step up. It made the epilogue all the more fun to read.

Marler "Kitty' Barnes loves hanging with his club, he is the guy who is fun to hang out with and not one to commit. When he sees a woman who peaks his interest he can't get her out of his mind, when he sees her the second time he believes it is fate. They have a moment but Kitty is shocked when she sends him on his merry way. Roles reversed Kitty is smarten over the one time deal with a woman he can't shake from his thoughts. Third time is a possible charm, but Pandora Copeland has walls erected around her higher then the clouds.

Pandora is a single mother who has had to fight to keep her kids thanks to a bad marriage that went completely off the rails and her ex's parents who think they should raise them. Pandora doesn't ever want to have to put herself out there to get hurt again, but something about Kitty has her questioning if that is what she really wants. With her kids pushing her to trust Kitty, Pandora finds herself on the ride of her life.

This was the best of the batch in this series so far. I laughed so hard in this one, it was hilarious. Pandora is Kitty or how Kitty was before he met Pandora. Terrific chemistry, loved the story and was completely entertained. I would reread this one in a heartbeat.

4.8 stars.
This was so freaking good.
I absolutely loved seeing all the characters again.
The animals, the friends, everything.
And the FMC. Hell yes.
I really like her style and personality.

This book was just everything I wanted it to be.

It was hilarious. It was sexy. It was so freaking sweet.

The sex was so hot.
The relationship between Pandora and Kitty is so good and it develops so smoothly with a ton of humor and love.

I just really love this series and every character in it. I’m really looking forward to who gets their HEA next. I’m hoping it’s Hammer honestly. That man is a handful and I can’t wait to see who he gets with.

As always..... a DEFINITE must read book and series!!!

I have absolutely loved every single book by this amazing author, and somehow, they just keep getting better and better! This was a terrific story with great characters, lots of drama, as well as freaking hilarious. Three teenage daughters... enough said!! Lol! There are some heartbreaking situations, crazy antics, and a wild and interesting love affair that ends with a HEA that neither thought they'd ever have. It's certainly not a story that you'll want to miss!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

I would also highly recommend that you read this authors other series as well. I would suggest you start with the Texas Knights MC, and then read all of them (Texas Knights MC, Texas Kings MC, Connor Brothers Construction, and Rojo, Texas) in the order that they were released. (Just my personal opinion!) By reading them all together, you'll get the best reading experience. There is a lot of character crossover between all of these series, which means that you will be able to enjoy more of your favorite characters (of which there will be many!!), as well as follow the story lines, the connections, the different clubs/groups, and the dynamics between all of them. They're all absolutely amazing stories, and you definitely won't be disappointed!

The Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman and the Ares Infidels MC by Ciara St James are a collaboration between these two authors. Each series has it's own stories about their MC, but there is also a secondary plot that continues throughout both series. All of the stories end with a HEA, and there are no cliffhangers. There is a lot of character crossover between these two series, and although they're two different clubs, they are heavily involved with one another. I would highly recommend that you read them in the order that they were released. It starts with Boss: Time Served MC by Cee Bowerman, then Sin: Ares Infidels MC by Ciara St James, and they continue going back and forth between the authors. They're all fantastic stories, and I would definitely recommend reading them both!

A chance meeting in the grocery store finds Kitty wanting what his brothers have, a woman to go home to every night. The only problem is that he didn’t get her name or any other information from her. Another chance meeting and he gets more than he expected.

Marler “Kitty” Barnes has been happy with his life, but after seeing the woman in the grocery store with three girls, that he thought were her sisters, he wants to meet her and get to know her. When he and the crazy coven, and some of their men, go to a book signing and run into the woman again, he gets a lot more than he was expecting from the beauty.

Pandora Copeland has finally found her own life now. She is finally able to live her life the way she wants and may have gone a bit overboard from the way she was raised, but now that she is divorced and away from her parents and her ex-husbands family, and the church, her life is so much better. She still has to worry about her daughters and her in-laws doing something to take custody, but she’ll fight any battle to keep them.

I loved this story, as with all of the Time Served MC books, this was full of action, suspense, funny shenanigans, and great characters. I think Pandora is a great addition to the crazy coven. She’s just as crazy, even if she thinks these women are really crazy. I love to read these books because the women are always so much fun and the men of the MC, both Time Served and the Ares Infidels, are ruthless and just as crazy as the women. These books are a great read and Kitty’s story was not a disappointment. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more of the Tenillo Guardians books. If you love MC books, you will really love the Tenillo Guardians MC stories as they have great characters, funny women that may or may not be witches, and men that have some very inventive torture techniques.

Thunderstruck and bowled over
Kitty: Time Served MC, Book 8 (Tenillo Guardians TSMC) by Cee Bowerman finds the perpetual fun and done guy thunderstruck by the one woman he wants more fun with giving him a dose of his own medicine. For Kitty (Marler) it’s not so fun on the receiving end. Pandora, on the other hand, is having the time of her life and living free of conservative restraints even while raising three teenage daughters. Kitty pursues Pandora with persistence that simply bowls Pandora over ensuring she falls just as fast as Kitty does.
I adore the characters in this book. Pandora and her girls are a riot (teenage girls are so dramatic and funny!) and Kitty’s interactions are swoon-worthy perfection. This rough and gruff biker is super sweet but knows how to turn up the heat which wreaks havoc with Pandora’s wants and threats of her former in-laws.
In true Tenillo Guardian fashion, the Time Served guys and their gals rally around Pandora and her girls. Kitty’s book ends on a sad, emotional request that turns out quite positive for all, including Kitty and Pandora’s HEA.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

laughter, tears, anger! What else!?! 🤣🤣🤣😏

What can I say, Cee? The plots thicken and your writing & storylines just get better & better. Between you & Ciara with these two clubs, we run through a gamut of emotions. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I love it!

Your characters are amazing although every blue moon there’ll be one that drives me bonkers. But that is like real life right? As you’ve just shown there’s more “life” / characters to continue the stories through the generations. We’ll never get tired of the continuance of a series🤷🏽‍♀️. For me that simply enriches the storylines.

I highly recommend these series’ between you with Time Served MC & Ciara St James’s Aries Infidels MC . I rarely leave a review as I tend to write a book 🤦🏽‍♀️, but this is why I highly recommend the series’ not just the book. This is an authentic reader’s review. 💕🥰

Pandora and Kitty’s book is hilarious. If you’re a fan of these books, you’ll know there’s lots of banter, one liners and saying it as they see it! Their attraction is mega, but their initial meetings are outstanding! As always with these books things are never straightforward and there’s plenty of mystery, action and misunderstandings with some role reversals that lead to outright chuckles. As for Pandora’s bucket list, well I think the author should have listed it so we could all share in the fun! This book is a cross over between the Time Served MC and Ares Infidels MC and many of the characters flit in an out…so it’s definitely best to read them in order. Highly, highly recommend you read these books if you’re into MC books.

Time Served keeps getting better and better 😊

Pandora and Kitty's story start out with her using him for her bucket list. Sex in a public place. She patted his ass thanked him and showed him out of the both. This book was hilarious from the get go. Bible Belt and the H Crew fit right in with the Coven. The names were given to Pandora and her girls from Blue. There is never a dull moment from Preacher and Hammer with their antics. Poor Boss feels like he is always dealing with children instead of grown men. Cee has a way with all of the characters to pull you right in and feel like your in the thick of it right along with the cast of characters. As always here is another one of Cee's books I fell in love with.

I really enjoyed Kitty and Pandora's story, it was also nice that the conflict didn't actually put the girls in danger; I was worried about that.

I do wish that more focus would be on the overall plot not just 95% the romance because I refuse to read that awfully written series that goes with this one (Ares Infidels) so I know I'm missing a bunch. It would have been better if the two authors wrote one huge series together so those of us that only want to read one can know what in the world is going on. I feel like I had a bathroom emergency in the middle of a movie and missed most of the "discoveries". It honestly takes A LOT of the joy out for me. If it weren't for the Crazy Coven, I probably would've already called it quits.

I have loved and enjoyed all of the Tenillo Guardians Time Served MC stories so very much. That said, I almost hurt myself laughing over the antics of Kitty and Pandora, not to mention Pandora's three daughters. The banter between the guys and the ladies, actually the dialogue amongst everyone is top notch; some of the best ever. Kitty is absolutely adorable, a man who reads romances is a man I would love to get to know! Pandora's history was so unique, she was a trip. How everything played out was so surprising yet sweet, really gave me all the feels. This author is phenomenal! I snap up every book she puts out, they bring me so much joy!

A Readymade Family

I absolutely loved Pandora and Kitty together. This entire TSMC group are a bunch of nuts, including the women. I know when I read one of Cee’s books I’m in for a hilarious ride which is greatly needed right now. Pandora has been spreading her wings since her strict childhood and marriage/divorce. Meeting Kitty and checking items off her bucket list lands the two into some crazy good times. Pandora’s children are absolute sweethearts who have captivated Kitty as well. Coming from foster care, Kitty ends up with an instant family and more. Definitely worth the read.

No words!

I have loved every book so far in this series and of course the ares infidels.
Some really havey storylines in the others,so this book really took me by surprise!

Kitty,former cat burglar, now out of prison and running a successful security company, meets Pandora and her 3 daughters at the supermarket,after a brief meeting she leaves.
Bumping into each other again leads to a hot hook up and Pandora sends kitty on his way.

Annoyed, kitty finally tracks her down and this leads to crazy bucket lists,the crazy coven and throw in crazy ex in laws!

Honestly I laughed so hard I had tears! Amazingly funny and my favourite out of all so far!

My honest review.

Normally I love Cee's books. But, Kitty's book? Wasn't as good as I had hoped.

The story felt rushed and almost like Cee's head was somewhere else while writing most of it. Pandora was an okay character. Given how she was raised, you would expect some of the push back she gave us. When you read about how Pandora tried to poison her husband, you do not expect her to act like the coven is beneath her. The mental freak out she had, made me want to smack her. I was a little bit surprised that the coven didn't knock a little more sense into her.

AWESOME

Cee Bowerman never fails . Her and Ciera have given the readers another awesome series.
In the Kitty and Pandora book she gave the reader some of the best laughs ever.

Pandora fresh from a disaster of a marriage with 3 girls has a buck list. Kitty met her in a grocery story determined to find her after the brief encounter.

Let's say the adventure begins. From public sex , to moving into together, bring down her in laws, meeting The Crazy Coven it's one hell of a ride. I will never be able to watch the kool aid commercial without busting out laughing

Great book

I really love this author. I can always get a laugh when reading her books. I love humor in a book. I loved these two together. Wish one day Cee would have more couples have their own baby though. I was hoping for that in this book. They were still young enough. 😔 Maybe soon in another book. Thank you Cee for making me laugh. I wish you would take over the "whole" series. Don't care for St. James' books to much but I have to read them to keep up with yours.

Good Read

This is most definitely the book that has given me the most laughs of the series so far, at one point I had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard. I absolutely loved Pandora and her girls, they are just absolutely hilarious and their introduction to everyone at the MC was just brilliant. I enjoyed reading the story and loved the baby steps in this book that pushed the overarching storyline on. If you don’t read any other book in this series then read this one. However I would recommend the whole series as it’s fabulous.

Kitty & Pandora

I could not put this book down! Right from the start, I was totally addicted and loving it. Kitty and Pandora are so real to me. And the crazy coven. The first time Pandora and her girls met them? OMG I could not stop laughing. And Hammer and his singing? I don’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed a book this much. It was probably Cee Bowerman’s last book. Must read! Must own!

Awesome, this book is something else!

I love this author, her books are filled with laughter, tears, great sex and phenomenal characters. This book does not disappoint. I read it in one sitting, it sucks you in and before you know it....just like that your done and patiently wait for more. Please take sometime and start from the beginning and follow this crazy crew of misfits, you will laugh and maybe even cry but it is so worth it. Great job! Can't wait for the next one.

Just awesome and awesome again!!!

Every book that I have read in this series just keeps getting better. I laugh more and smile more. This was such a beautiful story and very unexpected for me. I fell in love with Kitty. He was so open and accepting. His love for Pandora was so absolute. He had such a hard beginning in life but he persevered. The junior crazy coven will be worth watching. I loved all three of them. What a fun, sexy and awesome story.

Kitty and Pandora

OMG, I think this is totally one of Cee's best stories. Pandora grew up with parents that were into that holier than thou church and ended up pregnant at a young age. She has three glorious daughters. Kitty grew in foster care and had one foster mom, Kate that he loved. Quite a few twist and turns throughout and of course the coven were all a welcoming group to Pandora and her daughters. Happy reading.

Exceptional

This is such a good well written MC story. It has excitement, ex family drama, a beautiful Mom who has an exciting bucket list and 3 beautifully well adjusted girls, fantastic ending, HEA, No cheating (at least by the main characters), no cliffhanger, great epilogues. I enjoyed this story more than most. I enjoyed The whole series by Cee Bowerman. Her books have stories not just sexy scenes. Highly Recommend this book and her part of the series.

Love, Love, Love It

From the aforementioned of one of my favorite MC story down to one of Shakespeare’s quote, this story is amazing as to be expected from Cee! It talks about acceptance and being able to love unconditionally without zero hesitation. As always, Cee tugs the hearts of her reader with a rollercoaster of laughter, tears, hot melting love scenes and family love. It’s a story worth getting captured.

The continuing saga of cleaning up Tenillo continues. Kitty, or Marler, is a member of the Time Served MC. He meets a woman in the supermarket who flirts with him. He is speechless and doesn't react in time to find out who she is. One romance book signing later, the team has met her and she and Kitty have had a moment. She is a mom with a lot of baggage, and the entire team, and the coven, help her get free from the bonds that strangle her. Laugh out loud funny at times.
