MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

On a whole this is an enjoyable literary ride with stories full of steam, suspense, and gut wrenching emotions.  The stories aren't black and white, they're full of grays courtesy of bikers who've not always been good with their choices.  But when it comes to the women in their lives, they're oh so good in sizzling encounters and sweet and sentimental interludes.

The stories in this collection, which CAN be read on their own, are continuations of the author's series and will provide a richer experience if read along with the other books in the series.  As part of the Grimm Wolves/Devil’s Handmaidens MC, I was particularly drawn to Last Chance at Love by D.M. Earl and its tale of redemption and forgiveness, forgiveness from others and from yourself.  This novella reintroduces readers to Cletus aka Slick, a former white supremacist who's done a lot of bad things in the past as was seen in the book, Taz.  He hurt a lot of people, put MCs in danger, and destroyed the woman he loved.  He's starting over though, given a chance to find his own HEA, but it's a rocky journey to redemption as the truths he's telling are going to put a bullseye on his back.  Lucy's a worthy heroine though, likable with a kind heart, but once all the truths are revealed will she still stand by Slick's side?

This is an emotionally heavy story as it deals with hard truths and bad choices.  I didn't think I'd ever feel sympathy for Slick, but Earl managed to make him someone worthy of forgiveness.  He truly wanted to be a better man and I bought into it completely, while rooting for Lucy to see the good man behind the bruised facade.  There's a large cast of secondary characters, members of the MCs, that provide a feeling of family and support that Slick will need as he tries to right all the wrongs from his past life.  From start to finish this is a quick read, an unforgettable one as well, that has a man putting himself out there for judgment in a journey that will be a gut punch!

My rating for this is an A-

*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
