Synopsis
After the last fourteen years of
surviving as a walking, talking, living doll, Laura feels dead inside.
She has sacrificed everything for
her family, marrying a man she could never love. Her husband doesn’t beat her,
doesn’t berate her. He transforms her, forcing her to live as a stand-in for
his long dead wife. She stays silent as piece after piece of herself
disappears, willing to do anything to protect the people she loves.
When his demands go too far, she
finally tells her brother the ugly truth.
Wanting to protect her without
putting the rest of their family at risk, he sends her to the one place he knows
she’ll be safe. He places her into the hands of his best friend, Vice President
of the Savage Outlaws MC.
Once again, she is transformed into
someone new; Shay.
Bowie has spent many nights
dreaming about his best friend’s little sister. The reality is so much sweeter
than his dreams. He wants to be more for Shay, needs to protect her, but he’s
not sure if he knows how.
Can an Outlaw show her how
beautiful life should be?
Excerpt
I push Shay in front of my body. She tries to pull away, but I tighten my grip and lean down to whisper in her ear. “Don’t move.”
My voice has her shaking; her fear is so strong that I swear I can taste it, but this shit has to be done. Putting my hand under her chin and lifting her eyes to the crowd. I run my other hand up to cup her breast, making sure the boys get my point, as I start to talk. “Take a good look, brothers. This here is mine. If I even hear of one of you laying a finger on her, I will fuckin’ kill you.”
A few hoots and hollers fill the room, but I ignore them. I look around, just to be sure everyone understands. “I claim her as my property. She’s my Old Lady. Stay the fuck away from her.”
With that, I lower my hand from her face and place it on her arm. I pull her along as I make my way to my room. As soon as I step inside, I slam the door. Looking down at her, I lay out the rules. “Never fight me in front of those boys, and I mean fuckin’ ever. If you don’t like what I do, tell me when we’re alone. Throw all the sass you want behind closed doors, but never show anything but complete respect in front of them.”
Her face is hard. Instead of the tears I expected to see, her eyes are burning with anger. “So, I can say whatever I want right now?”
Her voice comes out in a hiss, as she crosses her arms. Every inch of her is vibrating with fury, and she looks hot as hell. I nod, trying not to crack a smile. “Yeah, any fuckin’ thing you want.”
She lifts a hand, point a finger at my chest. “Next time you decide to treat me like a piece of meat, give me a little warning. Tell me you’re about to parade me in front of a bunch of bikers and let them look their fill. Don’t scare the hell out of me like that.”
“Is that all?” I ask, still working to keep my laughter in check.
She moves forward, her finger now poking me. “I’ll treat you with respect, but you are going to do the same for me. I’ll play your little lap dog in front of your friends, but you better not do something like that to me ever again. If you do, I’ll be out of here and back at Nina’s before you can even blink an eye.”
The humor of the moment dies a fast death, and I reach down and grab her. Walking her back to the bed, I push her down and climb over her. As I cage her body below mine, I start to speak. “Never fuckin’ threaten me again. You’re not going to Nina’s or any damn where else. You’re mine, and you better never forget it.”

Review
Anyone who knows my reading style, knows I
love MC reads where there is just the right amount of alpha
male, strong female lead, sexual chemistry between the main characters,
and the right amount of MC involved violence, and this book was the
perfect combination of all these things.
Laura/Shay has spent many years married to a man that was very twisted and sick in the head, finally one day she has enough and reaches out to her big brother for help. At first he was hesitant to help her, but upon hearing the whole truth behind her so called marriage, decides he has to get her far away from that psycho, and has only one man in mind who can take care of his sister.

His brother from
another mother, Bowie.
Bowie is the VP of the MC and is surprised by the call from his best friend requesting to hide out his sister from danger. Bowie has been infatuated with Laura since his time in the military and after Jeremy aka Locke showed him her picture he readily agrees to do as Locke says.
When these two come face to face sparks start to fly, but Bowie wonders what happened to his Laura, because the woman in front of him is a stuck up bitch, something that he wanted no part of. But time always has a way of changing things.
The flow if this story was easy to follow and you find yourself being able to put yourself into the places this story takes place. There are some steamy sex scenes between our couple but not so much that it takes away from the story. I loved the integration of the side characters which added more depth to this story. The violence that is present was spot on and a reminder of what an MC would do with a traitor, it wasn't glossed over but neither was it overdone to where you wouldn't believe what they were doing.
The ending was appropriate and I can't wait to get Tin's story as we got a sneak peek of what we may expect.
4.5 solid stars for this amazing book.
