MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
The Iron Outlaws MC series continues to entertain, and stir up emotions, with this sixth installment of second chances with a secret child to boot! Though there's a central theme of danger from a rival club running through each book, building in its suspense, you COULD read this on its own but each book builds on the next and creates a world you won't want to miss. From the first page to the last Ms. Cole captivates readers, presents a couple both realistic and compelling, and gives them another chance to find HEA while putting their lives and futures on the line.
Bates is the Enforcer for the Iron Outlaws MC and he lost the love of his life when she turned her back on the MC world...as well as him. Time has passed but the hurt and anger is still there, so when he discovers that she's making a living writing romances based on their past, he decides to confront her. From the moment they're breathing the same air again, the temperature skyrockets and emotions are stirred as he discovers a daughter he never knew existed, and a love that never died for the one who got away. Bates has intrigued me from the moment Ms. Cole introduced him. On the outside he's the proverbial biker, a bad boy vibe with an air of danger surrounding him. Beyond the tough guy facade though is a man full of heartfelt emotions, a dirty talker more than willing to be the inspiration for the next romance book written. Upon meeting the daughter he never knew about, he shows a soft and cuddly side, embracing fatherhood wholeheartedly while pulling at my heartstrings. He's a delicious other half to a woman equally as strong as him.
Years ago Viola Mills walked away from the MC lifestyle out of fear and Bates' devotion to the Club that made her feel second best. She might not want to live the MC life, but she sure is happy to write about it as she turns real life into fiction. When Bates arrives at her door, the past comes roaring back. Old feelings of love resurface, putting them on a rocky road of second chances amidst forgiveness and danger. Though she's tried to stay out of Bates' world, she'll need the MC's strength and protection once she and her daughter become a target for the true bad guys of this series, the Righteous Brotherhood. Viola's reasons for leaving Bates years ago are understandable and easily relatable as fear and doubt are strong motivators. To make a good life for her daughter, Avery, and herself, she embraced what she knew and became a writer in a decision that I applaud. She's a strong heroine, one who quickly accepts the unconditional support and protection of the Club she's long pushed away, and which puts her and Bates back together in sizzling scenes full of heart and soul.
With a clever and unique reason behind bringing this couple back together, along with the intense feelings of love and familiarity that fueled many scorching encounters, this is a book that entertains completely. Seeing this family in the making come together amidst danger from the outside had my heart racing while keeping me on the edge of my seat. Bates and Viola are a formidable couple who share heartfelt feelings, sweet and sensual interludes, and put the past behind them to build their future amidst threats that had them employing every defense at their disposal. Their daughter, Avery, was a delight! She was cute and sweet and I enjoyed the softer side she brought out in Bates, as well as the other brothers of the Iron Outlaws MC. The men and women of the Iron Outlaws are a colorful, strong, and supportive group who unwaveringly protect those they call family. From start to finish this is another well-crafted tale in a series that continues to entertain while keeping me breathlessly awaiting each new installment! And with Halo closing out this book, there's much to look forward to when Ms. Cole releases her seventh book next!
My rating for this is an A.

AUTHOR INFO:
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
