I met a church girl.
She’s too good for this criminal.
But her delicious curves give me a double take.
Letty’s not like any woman I’ve ever met,
She’s clean. And proper.
And innocent.
She makes me want to be a better person—do better.
Then my club finds out the pastor she’s working for is crooked and Letty is stuck in the middle.
Hell, I know I’m not a perfect man—not the man for her,
But I have to do something.
Even if I go against the MC.
I have to save her from the grip of the Iron Kings.
Those guys are deadly.
So am I.
But I’m not ready to let her go.

Shades😎

Shades is the next Reckless Souls member to find himself in a pickle when it comes to a woman..Letty is a Church going, innocent woman and soon finds herself enthralled with the biker known as Shades😁 But as per normal, danger follows the MC wherever they go and this time their archenemy the Iron Kings, include Letty in their shenanigans😢 Will Shades find her before something happens to her?

I’m really enjoying this series and I’m intrigued by that ending as well as excited to read Preacher’s story next❣️I received an advanced copy via Booksprout and willingly leave my honest review❤️

Shades and Letty

What happens when a grumpy biker meets up with a “church girl”? Sparks fly!! Letty has a new job at a church office but finds out later that the pastor is all kinds of dirty. So now Shades takes it upon himself to protect her from all the trouble this innocent could be in.

The Reckless Souls MC is having trouble with a rival club so all bets are off. He needs to keep Letty safe. I loved the banter between these two and the chemistry was great as well.

I have loved books that this author has written and I highly recommend this book to all MC lovers.

This was a great book. I was hooked right away, and I can’t put this book down. I really enjoyed the tension, connection, and chemistry between Shades and Letty. Letty is the good girl while Shades is the bad boy, and this bad boy will get and keep his good girl no matter what. This is book three and I can’t wait for Preacher!

Letty is so annoying. Weak & under her mothers thumb, & I didn’t like the way that church goers are portrayed.

Letty is a 22 year old virgin, who has never even been kissed by a man before. She lives with her mum and dad and she’s very religious. None of the above is an issue for me, but what really annoyed me is how pious and judgy she was at first. Why did the author have to write her like that? Then there’s Shades who treats people who are religious like they disgusting to him.

Anyway. On with the book. The Mc use the pastor at Letty’s church to launder their money. Though it was never really explained how exactly the money is laundered. Shades gives Letty a bag of money, she puts it in the safe, and doesn’t count it, or give him a receipt of the amount? When Shades goes to take money out of the church, Letty, (Who works there as a treasurer.) refuses to give Shades the money, until he explains what’s going on. He finds that weirdly attractive, and they start seeing each other, and having endless sex.

The problem for me is that Letty is so weak, that her mother tells her what to eat, (So she doesn’t put weight on.) and how she dresses. It’s just not believable that she would fall in love with him, and have hot amazing sex. The endless problem with the rival Mc is there, but nothing really happens there.

It’s badly written, boring and unbelievable.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "SHADES" (RECKLESS SOULS MC) I couldn't put this down I was hooked from the start there's tension, suspense, intrigue, steam, anger, twists that you turner the pages.
Letty works at the church her new job as an accountant shes so innocent, sweet a rule follower but doesn't the the Pastor is crooked.
Shades meets Letty he's attracted to her immediately but he knows she too good for a biker like him, when he finds out the pastor is crooked he worries about her getting hurt.
Shade knows their rivals are causing their MC Club issues as well he wants to protect Letty will his club agree to help.
I definitely recommend to get this well written story do well worth the read it won't disappoint you want see if Shade & Letty get a HEA.
I'm so looking forward to the next book in this excellent series "PREACHER" can't come soon enough. AWESOME AWESOME READ!!!!

Book 3 of the Reckless Souls MC fills in Shades’ story. The Iron Kings are still after the Reckless Souls and when Shades is meeting with Pastor Braden (who cleans their money) he meets Letty. Letty is from a rich family and has been raised in the church and is very innocent and naïve.The attraction is instant and shades knows he shouldn’t pursue her but he can’t resist. Letty is torn over her feelings and desire for Shades, knowing being with him will be dangerous. This comes true when she is lured away from the Reckless Souls right into danger and possibly death. The reckless Souls know that the Iron Kings want everything they have and will stoop to any low to get it. Can the “church girl” and the “bad boy” accept the other enough to make it last?

This is the third book in this series, and this is Shades and Letty’s story. Letty is an innocent, church girl, who gets a job working for the Pastor. When Shades has business with the Pastor, Letty is intrigued by him, and their attraction is intense. It does not take long for Letty to get to know that not everything is not as it seems, and she becomes the target of a rival MC. Shades will do whatever he must to protect and keep Letty safe. This is a well written story which has chemistry, twists, danger, suspense, intrigue, drama, action, tension, and love, which leads to a steamy addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose Work I highly recommend.

Shades is the 3rd book in the Reckless Souls MC series and it is So good. I was thoroughly entertained. The MC is running money through the church where Letty works, which is how she meets Shades. She is an innocent, religious virgin and he is, well, a “bad boy”! But, opposites attract and their chemistry is scorching hot. As things progress in their relationship, his “church lady” turns out to his “bad girl” as well. This plot was very exciting. Lots of action and suspense involving a rival MC. Preacher’s story is next and I have no doubt, it’s going to be good, too. *this was a complimentary copy and this is my honest review*

This was an entertaining Saturday afternoon read. Letty is someone that does not fit the MC world. A church goer, a volunteer and working in the church. Shades is a former marine, a member of the Reckless Souls. They do good but are involved with shady deals and violence. Why is Shades so obsessed with Letty? It's an insta attraction and so much more. Her life could be in danger because of his enemies.
I really enjoyed their journey of love, the excitement at the end of the book and the side characters in this story. The tales ends with suspense and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

Normally Letty is a good church girl, doing what she is told, but maybe she wants a bit of bad in her life, and Shades might be just the guy to corrupt her. Shades can't resist the challenge her prissy attitude gives him. Will the shady deals of the Reckless Souls MC (that Shades is part of) bring trouble to Letty, and is Shades willing to protect her? I enjoyed this MC romance, a bit of an opposites attract (with her avoiding cursing and him so into it etc). I enjoyed the steam, the action/danger of their story and I need to know what happens next (with that trailer leaving me hanging).
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received, and giving my thoughts and opinions on it.

Another great piece of the puzzle

Whew!!

This series just gets better and better. Shades and Letty should not be together - should not work, but they are and they do!

These characters are easy to read and enjoy. They are a little light on backstories, but they make up for it with steamy chemistry and all the things we LOVE in an MC romance read: the drama, fighting and protective men that are fun to read.

If you are sensitive to triggers, this is not the right read for you.

I enjoyed reading this one, like I enjoyed Ace and Coop's stories and anxiously await Preacher's story next. Read in the correct order to get the most from the story and series.

Letty is a good girl working as the accountant for the local church but the pastor is crooked laundering money for the local Mc and that is how bad boy Shade meets his little church mouse But this girl isn't so innocent once she is introduced to the biker world and when danger threatens it will take all the MC to keep her safe

This is a fast paced fun read that immerses you into the world of the Reckless Souls while you don't have to read the previous books to follow the story do yourself a favour and read them

Shades is a smokin hot age gap, good girl meets bad boy read with all the feels. Letty's never met anyone like Shades before and she can't get him out of her head. Shades has found himself thinking more about the little "Church Girl" more than he should too. Opposites attract so they say and these two are about as opposite as you can get but they fit together flawlessly. Shades ends on a cliffhanger (which drives me nuts) but I can't wait for Preacher..

Opposites attract!! Shades and Letty are an amazing couple. Shades definitely has the patience to deal with Letty who is a religious innocent!!
This is an incredible story!! Definitely worth your time to read. You will fall for these two just as much as the other characters in the series!! KB did an awesome job and I can't wait until the next book - Preacher comes out!!

Enjoyed

Really glad Shades got his own book! He was a bad boy/sweet guy to the core. He tried so hard to leave Letty alone because she was a wholesome church girl, but the heart wants what the heart wants. The love scenes were so passionate but also tender. Coop and Kelsey are still my favorite couple in the series but these two are a close second! Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

Shades and Letty are the perfect opposites attract example. She's innocent and sweet and he's jaded and let's just say not so innocent. From the crazy fun banter to the action packed storyline this is a great addition to the Reckless Souls MC. The writing is well done and the characters are interesting. Shades is book three in the Reckless Souls MC. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This isn't A story with a conclusion - warning

The characters are well written and I find them engaging. The plot was really good a little bit different than I would have expected. There's some twist and turns in the story That I enjoyed. The problem with this book is there is no conclusion to the story and these kind of books always get 1 let's start from me because when I pick up book I'm gonna read the beginning, the middle and the end.

Another great one

I love that the women in the books are all completely different and yet they all fall in love with men who are very similar. One thing did bother me though, it seems like Shades and Letty never used condoms and she was a virgin and highly unlikely to be on birth control. I suppose we should expect her to be expecting in the next book!

Don't judge

Letty is a good girl, that is for sure. She is ready to start life on her own, but wasn't expecting Shades to make her see things in a different light. This is a well told story of self growth, don't judge books by their covers and a mc full of strong women. Shades sure put up a good fight and it was nice to see him fall. Can't wait for the next book

Shades

Yet another good read, I really enjoyed this one. I must say I'm a but confused because in book 1 2 and now 3 they had unprotected sex and only Kelsey is pregnant and that was said in book 2
I definitely recommend this series can wait for the rest to come out just wished they kill Hector

Shades & Letty

Shades has been growing on me since I read Coop’s book. I love actually getting to know him! And now, seeing him fall in love with his “Church Girl” despite this ongoing war. I just love him more. And Letty! From such an innocent young woman, fully wrapped up in the church to being Shades’ woman. So much growth and change. Love their story!! Love this series.

Shades

Excellent read. I absolutely loved Shades and Letty’s story ❤️❤️❤️ She was an innocent church girl, living at home, inexperienced. Shade loves life, partying, women and riding his motorcycle. An unlikely pair but they just worked. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you won’t be disappointed 😎

Shades/Letty. This series keeps getting worse and worse for me. First of all the MC seems really lame. They let their rivals walk all over them and when they try and get their revenge they gone in with their fists. Also the Church theme story didn't work for me. There was no connection between Shades and Letty and the author leaves a lot of loose ends.

This is a seriously amazing story. Absolutely full of excitement, drama and a lot of back and forth banter between who he refers to church girl. Their humor, is so fun, flirtatious has so much chemistry. Love this story.

Best of the series!

LOVED this fantastic MC romance! Litty and Shades are wonderfully real characters that had me so invested in their worthiness and their "happily ever after," I could scarcely put the book down. SHADES by the prolific marvel KB Winters is a MUST-READ! 😉
