I loved this one. It was amazing. I loved how everyone thought it was cool that she worked at a funeral home. I just loved them together. This was a perfect ending to the series. Hopeful there will be a second generation sereis.

A Second Chance At Love

Mace and Imogen had known each other a long time ago and it took one day to change everything for them. Now fifteen years later Mace needs Imogen’s help in order to stay out of prison. Even though they have been apart for so many years, when they finally do meet again that love they had is still there.

I loved the drama and the journey Mace and Imogen had to take in order to get their HEA. To top it off I always love the men and women from the RBMC. It never gets old hearing about the old ladies of the club and their antics. This was a one sit read for me which I loved every moment of.

A good read. My main complaint is the same as usual... fill in the details before the book ends!!

Who moved where because if I remember correctly but that was last night, they lived at least an hour apart. She had her place where she never had to drive to get there. Just tie up the details.

Now to see what other RBMC are out now

Another 10 stars!

I absolutely love these guys & girlz! Mace is such a sweetheart. I wish it were a but longer so we could've seen these two go further. The grape and the birds I think were hilarious! Really hope we get more of their story in the next book also

Mace reminds you no one can out run their past and secrets always come back to haunt you! I was up all night because I needed answers and the twists kept coming as I became so invested in this awesome couple. Imogen had to live through the unspeakable when she was a teen and saved herself the only way she could. Thankfully she had a protector then and she has one now. But this time Mace has his own savior too. Mace is sexy, strong and determined! He is selfless when it comes to the people he loves, especially the girl he never forgot and knows he can’t live without. Imogen is stronger than she really realizes and is quirky and adorable. You need to read this book for Dorothy and her antics, the friends, the tattoos, the crazy boxes and Imogen’s grandma alone. Mace makes you realize that you can come from a broken life and still find your place in the world where you truly feel loved as you make your own home and family.

Ohhh my! I absolutely love this series and diving into the last book was a bitter sweet moment but it was sooo worth it! Mace is perfect. He's the protector, a man of honor, and will do what needs to be done. Imogen is strong, sweet, and will stand for what is right. I loved this second chance at getting everything that they wanted, what they should have had. They have such an amazing connection! Imogen fits in perfectly with the other ladies and getting to visit with this group of friends, brothers and sisters, made my heart happy. Of course, in true Winter Travers fashion, there's some heart pounding and jaw dropping along the way! With laughs and intensity, this is an absolute must read book in a must read series!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Mace (Royal Bastards MC: Sacramento Book 8) by Winter Travers Final book in chapter
Mace & Imogen

Fifteen years. If he didn't need her to keep out of Jail for murder, how many more years would they have been apart? She's the only one who knows what happened. Is there still any chance for them?

The entire club supports him and since is a part of him they will protect her as well.

Watching the two find each other again, the danger they face, and the MC family they join makes for another wonderful read from the author. I do wish this series went on longer--but then I feel the same after additional characters and books. There is plenty of humor to keep the tone light when necessary. We get to see old favorite characters and enjoy every word.

A second-generation series? Or just more books from the author? Whatever she is writing I'll be reading.

This is the second chance romance story of Mace and Imogen. They met as children and as teens shared a horrific event that changed the course of their lives. The day after the crime took place Imogen left town. As we know, Mace eventually ended up with his found family in the RBMC. Someone digs up the past and Mace finds himself in trouble. The only person who can help him is Imogen. They share a reunion that is bittersweet because neither stopped caring for the other and yet the circumstances bringing them back into each other's lives are dark. I enjoyed reading along as they traveled a bumpy road to discovery and romance. The spicy scenes between the two were long over due and so hot. Follow their story as it leads them back to each other. As always, I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Mace and Imogen

Mace is book 8 in Travers RBMC. I believe this might be the last book in this series and its so sad to see this one end. I hope she does Next generation for RBMC. Imogen is a mortician and is hilarious I absolutely love she has no filter. Dorothy is her bff and they work together. In my opinion Dorothy stole the show in this book. She has a strong personality that shines though. Together their banter is hilarious. I have no idea how Travers comes up with of the stuff or things these characters do or think of. It never gets old and that's one reason I love reading Travers stories because for the banter and crazy loving characters. Great addition to RBMC series. Happy Reading 📚

Mace and Imogen's story even though it had a serious side to it also had a lightness to it that had me laughing at time so hard my face hurt. Two people that were torn apart due to a life changing event are brought back together because of it. This was a connection and love that had stood the test of time. Their story was filled with passion, regret, chemistry and had just enough angst to have you glued to the pages. Imogen and her friend Dorothy fit perfectly into the ol ladies of the club and the banter between them all was absolutely hilarious. Imogen's ranting when she got nervous added extra entertainment to have you falling in love with her character and personality. A story that has you captivated from the start and leaves you completely satisfied.

Mace was the eighth and final book in the Royal Bastards MC Sacramento by Winter Travers.

Mace picked up where the last book, Jinx, left off. He was under arrest for a murder that happened fifteen years ago, and one that he did not commit. Imogene was the childhood best friend of Mace. She left town fifteen years prior and never looked back. The two didn’t keep up but never forgot each other. Fast forward and it was time Mace found Imogene.

I enjoyed both characters. And Imogene fit in with the craziness of the other MC ladies, especially since she was a mortician at a funeral home. It was the backdrop for some fun dialogue. I also enjoyed how Travers included the entire MC. It was a great conclusion to the series and a segue for a legacy spin off, sometime in the future.

Mace & Imogen

Mace gets his happily ever after with Imogen. Fifteen years apart and the way they felt each other never changed. I loved going on this ride with them. Imogen had something horrible happen to her as a teenager, but she didn't let it being her down she and became a strong independent women. Mace was there for her when she needed him the most. Now there are there for each other once again when the past rears it's ugly head. What will the outcome be? Read this book to find out. The end in not so sure with all these babies popping up I'm sure we could possibly see more of these guys in the future. I love this series and highly recommended it.

I'm all twisted up! The Sacramento Royal Bastards is my favorite chapter and this is the end. I just can't say goodbye to these couples. Imogen is a sweetheart and Mace is a rough around the edges biker with a heart of gold. He is so protective and devoted to her, even after they have been apart all these years. Imogen feels the same for him and my heart just melted. Charming side characters and crazy antics along with passion and laughter are hallmarks to this author's work. She has this crazy ability to bring all the feels and a lot of laughter to all her stories and I adore her for it. Please give us a 2nd gen, please, please, please!

This is the 8th book in this thrilling Sacrament chapter, and this is Mace and Imogen’s story.
Mace is under arrest for a murder which happened 15-years previously, and one he did not commit. Imogen and Mace were childhood best friends, and she left town 15-years ago, and the secrets from the past bring them back together again.
This is a well written story which is easy to read, and action packed, with danger, suspense, intrigue, emotions, challenges, secrets, trauma, drama, humor, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, fun, and steamy page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

“How did we go from garage sales to pickles?”

Childhood friends, turned secret keepers, turned true loves. Mace and Imogene are some of the realist characters I have read. The banter between them, Imogene having no filter, her best friend Dorothy’s added banter. I laughed so hard at one point I was snorting…..just wait for the walker and tennis balls! If you don’t find this book entertaining and fall in love, I can’t be your friend! I am grieving that this is the last book in the series, I can only hope a 2nd gen is to come.

I am sad to read the final book in the Sacramento Chapter
of The Royal Bastards.
The story flowed nicely and was very well written.
Mace and Imogen were lovers years ago, but something
happened and they broke it off.
Now they have to come back together. They have very
steamy and intense chemistry.
She's a sweetheart of a woman, but doesn't deserve
Mace with his good heart and rough edges.
Loads of MC action and adventure for the readers.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book from an
advanced reader copy.

That was freaking crazy!! Imogen was raped when she was young and mace saved her but after 15 yrs later a asshole is trying 2 blame him 4 what happened all those yrs ago. Can Mace and Imogen find answers b4 its 2 late read and find out. Even though both of their families treated them worse than shit at least her grandmother is trying 2 make amends 4 her past. People can change if they truly want 2. I'm happy that Brad was saved but that was a crazy ending that I would have never expected. It's good when they finally found love after so many yrs.

Mace & Imogen

Excellent story of a relationship reconnecting. Mace & Imogen were friends growing up, losing track of each other after a tragedy sent her out of town. They each had some life to live separately, but once they reconnected, they were it for each other!

I like the flow of this story. It's about them working together on something & becoming the couple they want to be. There's a little action toward the end, but mostly it's just about their journey to HEA!

😍😍😍

Mace tells Imogene that he has loved her since they were kids. If he wasn't been convicted for a crime would he have ever looked her up? He didn't want to find her and was upset when the old ladies did. They haven't seen each other in 15 years and they decide they have always loved each other. Did they even think of each other as the years passed. What happened within those 15 years they were apart? I want substance with my stories and not get explanations as to what is going on.

Good but...

I like this author but she put 123 babes in this book and it drove me crazy. It's like she needed so many words so she just added babe every other sentence. I like her books and will continue to read them but maybe cut the constant use of the word babe next time. Also his name was Jonathan and I found a lot of times when she used the name Mason for him and it through me. Good story just not her best work. Still like her though.

Life is a mess

For Mace and Imogen, life was a mess until they found what was needed to help them. With a past that would hurt anyone else they were able to make the future brighter.

I cannot believe that the Sacramento chapter is ending for now. I love this chapter of RBMC it helps to know that there is possibly the potentially a next generation coming.

Mace & Imogen

What an amazing ride to go on with Mace and Imogen. Secrets from the past bring Mace and Imogen back together which leads them down a road neither of them expected but definitely deserved. This is a definite page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed every single moment of this book.

I loved Mace and Imogen together, they've known each other since kids. But life got in the way. But when Mace needs help Imogen steps up and helps him. They find love together, and enjoy time together.

I can't wait for more.

Mace is book eight in the RBMC Sacramento, CA chapter and is Made and Imogene's book. This book was amazing. These two are entwined by a past that comes back to haunt them and it's a race against the clock to prove one's innocence. I can't wait to see what's next.
