Sometimes the heart wants what it can’t have.

That’s the motto Silas Mackenzie, the president of The Dixie Wardens MC, has lived by since he was a young man.

Now he’s well on the way to middle age, has three grown children, and he’s lusting after a woman he should definitely stay away from.

Especially not one that his ex-girlfriend had given birth to, and happened to be only twenty seven years old.

Sawyer isn’t a young girl at heart, though.

She’s seen the inside of a jail cell for eight long years, and every one of them she spent paying for a crime she didn’t commit.

Silas Mackenzie knows as soon as he sees her that the girl has sacrificed enough.

And maybe…just maybe…so has Silas.

It’s time for Silas Mackenzie to get what he deserves, and put a little bit of happy back into Sawyer’s world, one rough, bearded kiss at a time.

 

We have finally got one of the most anticipated books from Lani Lynn Vale. And of course she did not disappoint. Silas was everything I was hoping for and then some.

First off, I wanted to just say that I was iffy about this book. In the synopsis we learn that it’s his ex-girlfriends daughter. I don’t like books where the guy sleeps around after meeting the mc, I also don’t like it when there’s cheating, or like if the guy or the girls spouse dies and they love them. I prefer when they hate their husband/wife.  And when the guy dates his ex-girlfriends daughter. But, I’m glad this book was safe. So far all of Lani’s books are safe, so that is awesome and one of the reason why she is one of my favorite authors.

My thoguths…

Silas was one of the guys I was really looking forward to getting his book. Throughout all of Lani’s books he is the guy that takes charge. And in his book that is no different. I really like that he’s a Alpha male who don’t  take no shit and he’s loyal to his woman.

Sawyer is also another female character that I love of lani’s. In the beginning I feel so sorry for her after what happened. Especially after her life fell apart. But, the good thing is is she meets Silas. And honestly they are a perfect match for each other. I was also iffy about their age difference but it worked out perfectly.

As you know, in Lani’s books there’s going to be some suspense and lots of romance. She definitely didn’t disappoint in either of those areas. This book was all just one big mystery with lots of romance. I figured that it would have something to do with Silas’s past but it also had some to do with Sawyer’s too.

Overall thoguths…

Overall, I thought it was a perfect addition to the Dixie Wardens. Silas was a perfect alpha, and I’m glad we got some answers we were longing for. Sawyer was a great addition to the group. She fit in right along with all of the others.

This book had a great plot with Suspense /romance/ and action. It also turned out to be safe, which I have come to expect out of Lani now. If she ever wrote a book that wasn’t safe then I don’t know what I would do. I would probably be heartbroken.

If you have loved all of her other books then you will love this one too. 

 

 

“I like your vest.”

“It’s called a cut,” he muttered laughingly.

“What’s a cut?” I asked.

The hail and rain got worse, hitting the roof and the side of the garage like tiny little battering rams.

“A leather vest,” he quipped.

I giggled against his chest, turning my face so it could rest against his neck.

He growled when I kissed his exposed throat, but otherwise didn’t move.

“Joking aside, it’s my club. The cut is me. The top rocker, which is the white banner at the top, is our club name,” he said.

I felt along his back as he spoke, feeling what he was saying as he explained what each one was.

“The bottom rocker is our club’s location. We’re in Benton. We have other chapters all over the south,” he explained. “On the front is my name, club title, and the city again.”

I knew he was explaining this to me to get my mind off the fact that the roof was shaking around us, literally.

“I can’t believe Dallas hasn’t at least come to check on me,” I muttered darkly.

He tangled my hands in my hair, and I looked up at him…or where I thought he was.

“Your brother is a shit head. And I don’t think he even realizes that he is. Because if he did, he wouldn’t be telling your parents anything about how you were. My guess is that he really is worried, but he doesn’t know how to handle that worry. So, he closes himself off, telling himself that by telling your mother how he thinks you’re doing, he’s helping. Which, in reality, he’s not,” Silas said. “Maybe it’s time you had a talk with him, let him know you don’t appreciate being treated as a child.”

I agreed, and I’d already planned on doing that.

“I was going to do that today, but then he had that huge freakin’ party,” I told him darkly. “And I had to park in the street.”

He lowered his mouth down to mine.

“Well, then it’s a good thing he’s preoccupied, because right about now I could really fuck you on top of his car and he’d never even know,” he said tightly, lifting my body off the bench and laying me down on the car’s hood.

I laughed. “You know,” I said as he stripped my shorts from me. “This is my brother’s pride and joy.”

“Well your brother’s pride and joy is about to become our fuck stand,” he growled, then he was on me.

 

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
