Not only was this a great MC book about two people who’ve been through hell who end up being each other’s saving grace but it also ties in many other series from other authors. Two of those series I follow and it’s a treat see some of those characters show up here.

I think many women can relate to at one time being a man’s booty call. Knowing that was all he was really looking for but yet we allowed it due to the familiarity and the convenience. This was the case between Tesse Harlow and Rex Crews, a member of the Hellions MC. At the start of this book Tesse has decided she’s had enough and cuts things off with him. And when something unimaginable happens to her its another Hellion that turns out to be her savior – Andy “Shooter” Jenkins.

Shooter has never like the casual way Rex treated Tesse, always flaunting and doing other women in front of her but it wasn’t his business to say anything. Now that she has broken free and comes to need help, he is there for her and her son and her mother who has MS. But Shooter has a few demons from his past that make him think he will never be good enough to be someone’s significant other, but when the horrible thing happens to Tesse he waste no time in claiming her has his ol’ lady so she can get the protection of the club she needs. This is where the healing process for both of them starts.

There is a big secret that Tesse been keeping from everyone that is brought out in the open which causes conflict at first but also helps one person see the wrongs he has done and starts him on a better path. The tie in to the other series was great to see especially since I had just finished reading
Stripping Her Defenses by Jessie Lane which also introduced the characters that are going to be in a new series both written by Jessie and Chelsea.
