There was a time when it felt like I had it all.

The grades, the friends, and the girl next door.

Her being my best friend’s little sister almost made it easier to hide our relationship.

But as they say, good things never last.

When tragedy strikes and our worlds are irrevocably changed, nothing can be the same between us. Our lives are torn in different directions, and for thirteen years, the only way Bea and I communicated was via email.

With my knowledge of tech and with no sense of care or duty for anything anymore, I found myself drawn to the Defiance MC. The club filled a dark void within me, though not entirely.

Then, one night, after years of no verbal contact, I received a phone call from Bea—the woman who broke my heart—and she was belligerently drunk. Her health and wellness app had been hacked. She was desperately begging for my help.

There was no choice. It didn’t matter that the thought of seeing her terrified me. What I wasn’t ready for was the chaos bringing her back into my life would cause. Or how the magnitude of our enemies would be greater than we could ever have anticipated.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly desired fourth book in the LA Defiance MC Series.

This is a grumpy v sunshine, best friend’s sister, second chance romance, and can be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Loki and Bea are great together! Their past and their secret will be revealed. How will they navigate working together with the hurt and heartbreak from their past?

I love the Defiance MC books and the LA Defiance has been a great addition to the other chapters. I love the stories that come to life, the characters that we get to know, and the secrets, heartbreak, healing and the family of the MC’s in all of them.

Loki and Bea’s story was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read more in the future.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Kado is the quiet one, the deadly one, the protector, and the assassin. He lives a solitary life, he has friends and a family of choice, but he would like to have someone to come home to after he’s done his job. The woman he’s watched is in his sights and since she’s a witness to his job, he can’t let her go. He didn’t want to in the first place.

Lucy’s been living to survive for so long that she doesn’t know how to live her life. When she stumbles upon something she should not have seen, her life as she’s known it will be changed. Will she find that her life is better now or worse? When danger from outside comes into her life, Kado knows he will do whatever it takes to protect her.

I’ve loved the stories in The Syndicates Series since the beginning. The men may be dangerous and Alpha’s but when it comes to the women in their lives, they seem to be softies. Not what you would expect from these men at all, but the women that they’ve chosen to spend their lives with are strong, independent, and willing to stand by their men and protect them just as much as the men want to protect the women. They may seem like damsels in distress, but they are fierce and protect just their men. I enjoyed Kado and Lucy’s story. She didn’t seem like the type to fall for Kado and be the one to stand beside him, but she was a great surprise. I look forward to more in The Syndicates Series to come.

Title: His Bride

I never wanted this life, this marriage.

But Caelian carried me down the aisle, and a corrupt priest declared us husband and wife, ignoring the thousand no’s I screamed at our wedding.

What began as a battle of wills has turned into an obsession. We were forced into a marriage of convenience, but somewhere between the hate and the heat, we found something more. Something dark and irresistible, something that binds us together even as it threatens to tear us apart.

Now, tragedy has struck the Del Rossa family, and they all blame me. I see it in their eyes, hear it in their whispers. Even Caelian looks at me as if I’m the reason everything is falling apart.

In our imperfect marriage, love isn’t a fairy tale… it’s a war.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

Trust is a tricky thing and when you’re forced to marry without the initial connection first, trust comes even harder. When you’re someone that hides their pain and sorrow, it makes it even harder to connect with someone and find that trust and to find love, or at least to admit it.

Caelian Del Rossa is a man that doesn’t show his pain or sorrow, he hides behind snark, sarcasm, and his reputation as a Del Rossa. When tragedy strikes the Del Rossa family and things begin to fall apart, Caelian pushes Giana away and ignores her, her mind begins to betray her and make her think the worst.

Giana is loyal to her family but when she realizes that its all for not, she begins to find her life unraveling and there is only one person she wants to save and protect her, but she believes that he doesn’t want her. When her life is hanging in the balance of evil and safety, Caelian will find her, but can he save her?

I loved this story, but be sure to read any trigger warnings before reading this book. It is dark and tragic.
