Overall Rating:  4 Rockin’ ★★★★

Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This series needs to be read in order to truly understand the author’s intent but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.  It is filled with hot MC bikers and feisty women that know how to handle them.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! Reading books by this author is like traveling into another world.  This is a MC world that is inhabited by bikers and their unorthodox families.  Kathryn Kelly is an author that writes about that world and allows the reader to be a part of it.
