4+ Stars! Highly recommend this series
For adults only (18+ years) Contains subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some, including adult language, steamy adult intimate scenes and violence (drug and alcohol dependency, Children's Services involved, fighting, etc.). If any of these types of situations are a trigger, or offensive to you, then this may not be the book or series for you.
I have read and enjoyed this series since the beginning. Somehow I seem to expect the quality of the writing to decline as can be the lot in life with a series. I am happy to say that I just keep getting more engaged and find myself looking forward to the next one.
This is the story of Warren, aka War, who has kept his personal life and MC life totally separate. Only a couple of people in the MC anything about what happened, or who are the people that are truly important to him, like his son.
Then he decided to lower his guard enough to trust that his ex-wife meant what she said since she had achieved 90 days clean and sober. She also passed the surprise inspection and tests War gave her ... so their son Ren would get his wish to spend more time with his mother.
War didn't trust her, or any women anymore, but he had a secret weapon, a smart watch that Ren wears all the time. So he reluctantly allows Ren to go with his Mom, leave War with nothing to do. So he calls and checks in with everybody, but nobody needs him to take care of them now, so he decides to go on a ride to clear his head.
Nora is the lowest on the list and always gets the cases that they don't want. She knows this and freely accepts it, but she just wished it came with more money. Had a major medical issue at 20 that has left her sterile and deeply in debt, plus the additional costs of college while earning her PhD. Plus it seems like there is a rain cloud right over her ... things keep going wrong.
For instance, got home to a very tiny shack that is all she can afford, has an AC unit that is not working. She has been after the landlord to fix it, but a month later and it is still not fixed. Then when she is on her way to at least buy a fan, her car stops running. She can't wait in the car, or sit on the trunk, etc. as the metal is too hot and now the cell phone service is not working! Then a handsome and rugged member of the Savage Kings MC stops to help. One thing leads to another and he ends up at her place, then they end up together all weekend ... until a phone call from his son reinforced his belief about women ...
I am going to stop there so I don't accidentally provide a spoiler or twist.
Just a few thoughts for you though:
War is a very good man, so can he leave her after their one-time escape from reality weekend when he figures out that times are hard for Nora? What about when their paths cross again since she is his son's case worker and they need to be professional, but their attraction to each other is as hot as ever?
