My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable Story

This book is part of a continuing series and should not be read as a standalone because it would make no sense whatsoever.

This book felt like a return to form for this author. The last book had a very messy first third to it which meant it wasn’t as much of an enjoyable read as usual, whereas this book is a much more smooth creation.

Kristos is quite a minor character in the previous books. He’s just been given a promotion to 2nd Tier Officer, but we don’t see much of him before this book.

Kristos was born and raised in the Club, MC Colorado. His mother was a club girl and she always told him that his father was an enforcer that died when the Club was getting out of the drug business. Crow, the original MC guru, told Major, who was then the president of that MC, to send Kristos to college and gave them a specific list of the courses he should take. Crow did this for people he saw as being important in the future.

In the same week that Kristos met the woman who was meant for him, he found his life shifting in lots of other ways too.

Natalia is rich. Her family had lots of different types of businesses and investments and when they died when she was young, it all became hers, but she never really wanted to be part of running the companies, particularly when all the board members and lawyers would continue treating her like the child she was when she inherited the businesses.

Natalia is incredibly bright and has three degrees. She is very like Stella and wants to make a difference in the world through technology. When Kristos takes her to the compound on their second date they find out she has been trying to get a job with the BSC and knows a lot about the BSC because a good friend works with the Princes up in Mass. Everyone tells them they belong together and she is strangely accepting of this, plus the job they offer her as Stella’s assistant.

Kristos and Natalia getting together is just the beginning of the adventures in this book. So much happens, as usual, but it’s all smooth and makes sense. There are a lot of ties between the original MC, Princes and BSC that happen in this book and it seems to move their connection forward into the future that Crow saw so long ago. There are plenty of visions and plans dangled for future adventures to keep us coming back for more.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It had romance, passion, family secrets and huge firefights. I really liked both Kristos and Natalia and hope to see more of them in the future because they are really interesting characters who have a lot to offer the story, both in this book and the future.
