This is book 16 in a continuing series about a group of MCs that are tightly bound together. The story really needs to be read in order and this series is actually the latest in a very long line of series that are all tied together, starting with The Baxters series. It doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but the story will continue in the next book when it comes out.

This book is about Cooper, the president of Elann Rising. He was raising in the club but joined up, becoming Special Forces. He has only been out around a year and a half and has PTSD, which he’s getting treatment for. Elann has been set up to provide support to former military personnel in the form of being part of the training school and ground ops and also having access to therapy horses. Cooper was raised on horses so it seemed a natural fit, especially as he has need of help.

Cooper meets a little girl, Austen who lives on land next to the boundary of the club, and she has been spying on all the activity for several months before they even speak. When she is in danger he meets her mother, Jane, and is drawn to her.

It’s pretty obvious where this is going because there is a pattern to these books, biker meets cool woman and they know they are meant for each other and move in together almost instantly. Everything between them is awesome but other people suck.

At first glance, these books should be really straightforward, but they aren’t. They are actually filled with an incredibly complicated web of interactions between the various clubs, across the generations, with the local communities and governmental bodies. The clubs have masses of businesses and inventions to keep track of and the books are filled with this information. If you’ve not read the books recently you tend to get confused and lost because you can’t remember who someone is or where you read about them before and what they’ve done. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and kind of skim over the fact you don’t know what the author is talking about.

These books are weirdly addictive. Sometimes the author seems to say things in an abbreviated manner that take a while to decipher, and there are grammatical errors and spelling errors. However, I just don’t care because I love the stories about bikers and Native Americans who are trying to save the world one person and one town at a time. It gives me a nice warm glow reading about the magic of their world.

I will always try to read these books as soon as they come out because they make me smile, even if they need a more ruthless editor.
