Kincaid - Diego is Prez of the Cerberus MC. They're winding down at a bar after helping his cousin reascue his girlfriend .. now fiance. His crew are former military, now working in the private sector. They focus on rescuing traffick cases mostly.

He's drawn to their waitress .. Emmalyn. She's in a very abusive relationship with her husband, and when he strikes out at her in Kincaid's hearing ... he winds up on the floor & he wisks Emmalyn away with him.

Things really pick up when a team member is disgruntled and teams up with Emmalyn's ex and a club girl keeps messing with Emmalyn's head. There's a hefty dose of her wanting to flee anytime & Kincaid having to go after her. Trust issues and self-esteem are big in this book.

Sindicate Bonus book .. Byran and Avianna are in the same acting class. He's worked hard to get her to agree to a date. She finally caves, but he puts on the seduction brakes .. and she goes home confused. She's grabbed before she gets home. Her father's gambling debts has caused her to become an incentive to pay up ... but she knows there's no way he has the money. She's tossed in with a bunch of working girls, with the overlying threat of what's in store for her if her father flakes.

Bryan becomes worried when she misses class, and realizes something's wrong. He's former military also, but lost a leg .. which is how he knows Blade ... and Cerberus MC. He goes to them for help, and Kincaid offers Kid to go to Vegas with him. Kid gets hurt, but Bryan's able to infilitrate Sindicate. It's pretty intense, but Cerberus & FBI team up to help bring the Sindicate down and save Avianna.

Kid Kid saves Khloe when he sees her stumbling away from the BBQ benefit for the KIA soldier the club put together. She's 2 months from 18, so he's struggling to stay close and help her ... yet keep his distance until she's legal. While she's legal in NM .. she's not quite there for his personal morals.

Young love drama is so far removed from my experience these days, this one was a little harder to get in to. I really like how their relationship grows while they get to know each other. His injury and memory loss causes a MAJOR rift in their relationship. The fall out of that, and her forgiveness in the end is tough.
Shadow Shadow's had ongoing drama with Misty .. a teacher who helped with intell in the missing from Diego's book. She's unique for Shadow ... who is typically a one-time only kind of guy. Misty pulls at him, and he's unable to stay away ... until she ghosts him. He looses all contact with her for 9 months. Yeah, the math works out when she shows up exhausted with a baby .. and collapses.

This one frustrated me. I get Shadow is struggling with his new reality ... but the way he treats Misty is so bad. When he finally gets his act together, actions Misty took when pregnant come back to bite her. How Shadow handles that is his saving grace.

Must Read Boxset!

Kincaid

4 Stars: Kincaid is hot though I wish Em had found her spine a little sooner.

Kid

4 Stars: So good. I knew something heartbreaking was going to happen when everything seemed perfect at 50% but I’m so glad Kid and Khloe were able to work through it. Looking forward to more!

Shadow

5 Stars: Shadow was the epitome of an alphahole who finally understood what was needed to redeem himself. Misty was insecure and confused but found her strength and resolve at the end.

Syndicate

5 Stars: So many questions were answered for me. Short and easy read that still gives you everything you need. Loved it!

I enjoyed Kincade & Emm's story, which was a quick read with a bit of tension that kept my attention throughout.

Sindicate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great series! MC themes usually always spark my interest but the stories behind these three guys and the way it’s written had me binge reading. the balance of emotion and the brotherly bond between characters was a good balance that had me rooting for the guys when emotions ran wild.
