Overall Rating:  4 Rockin’ ★★★★

Des Connelly is an amazing man that loves deeply and cares for those that are fortunate to call him friend.  He has always been a caregiver to those that need him.  Des raised his brother and sisters from the young age of sixteen when both parents were killed.  Mother, father, teacher, friend, brother and provider are just a few of the roles that he has filled.  Des was fortunate to be taken in and trained by old man Leary at his automotive shop which allowed him to keep a roof over his siblings’ heads.  As time passed Des was offered the garage and with Mr. Leary’s help he bought it and made it into a thriving business. This is really where all of the stories begin with Connelly’s Horde.

Each member of his crew came to Des at different times during the years of building the garage into a respected shop. Des found each of them in their time of need and pulled them into his business where they could find a place to heal.   The skill that Des displayed when working on bikes or autos brought in people from many different walks of life.  He was a friend to different MC’s and they called him brother.   

This novella will introduce you to each of the crew and how they came to be with Des.  It is a must read to prepare you for what is to come…an amazing series of stories that will pull you inside Connelly’s Horde.
