Review of Combust (Devil Chaser's MC #5) by L. Wilder

Combust:
(verb)
to catch fire; burst into flame
to become suddenly angry
(Noun)
the act or process of burning
rapid burn 
violent excitement or passion

Sheppard’s devotion to his club was unquestionable. He would do anything for them, including giving his own life to protect his brothers’. He proved that the day he took a bullet for Bishop, the president of the Devil Chaser’s MC. He thought his life was over when he fell into the lake and got dragged under by the fast-paced current. 

Ana’s world was crashing down around her. Her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor was being threatened. She felt lost, and she was quickly losing hope. The day she stumbled across a body by the lake, her instinct to his life overwhelmed her. She knew her life was complicated, but she couldn’t stop herself. She had to help him. When she looked into the handsome stranger’s eyes, she knew she would go to any lengths to save him.

Ana would do everything she could to save Sheppard’s life, but would he be able to do the same for her? When Ana’s past comes crashing into her future, will they be able to withstand the blast? Or will their love combust into flames? 


Overall Rating:  4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

Upon finishing Combust by L. Wilder I realized that this was the last book in her series Devil Chaser's MC and it made me really sad.  I felt sad because it is a farewell to characters that I have come to know so well.  I also felt sad because I really didn't want this to be the end.  This series is about sexy alpha heroes romancing strong minded heroines and saying goodbye saddens me.  With all this said, Combust is a great ending to a tremendous MC series! I really enjoyed reading Dillion aka Sheppard and Ana's story.

This was a softer side of Sheppard that we previously had not seen.  His dominant alpha side was still there, but a tender loving side entered the picture when he found his Angel.  Ana is as intelligent as she is beautiful - inside and out.  Her goal has always been to help others by becoming a doctor.  She has almost obtained it when her residency at the local hospital is suspended for made up charges against her character, moral code and skill as a doctor!

The chemistry between them begins when Ana finds her knight in shining armor with three bullets in him, bleeding out and dying on the riverbank near her home.  She uses all her knowledge, skill and strength to bring him back to the land of the living.  She knows that he is special even without words spoken between them.  When a stalker begins a more aggressive approach to Ana, Sheppard steps in and rejoins the outside world.   All the brothers and their "ole ladies" rally around to help overcome the evil that is chasing her and harming other innocent victims.

Hero: Dillon “Sheppard” 4.25 stars

Would I recommend this book: Yes! Once again, Leslie Wilder has given us a great book filled with twists and turns, drama and love, with the main characters finally ending up with their happily ever after.  Warning this is a hot, sexy read that will keep you on the edge of your seat! 

Would I recommend this author: Yes! Ms. Wilder is a gifted author and storyteller.  Personally, I can't wait to see what she will come up with next.  Thank you for the amazing series and your gift of entertainment and creativity. I am anxiously awaiting her new book about Maverick and his gang.
