I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Jenika Snow has written a terrific series about The Grizzly MCs, a group of shifter bikers finding their other half. As expected, the newest installment, Owned by the Outlaw, is a wonderful addition. I have read every book in the series and enjoyed each one. It’s rare to find a series in which every installment is an enjoyable read but Ms. Snow has certainly accomplished this task with the Grizzly MCs.This time it is Stinger’s turn to meet the woman of his dreams. Just one problem though, Molly’s the former old lady of Malice from the Brothers of Menace MC and Malice still considers Molly to be his. Molly is attracted to Stinger but she’s not sure that she wants to be involved with a biker again. But Stinger proves hard to resist.It was wonderful to see Stinger get his happy ever after. After watching the other members of the Grizzly MCs find happiness, Stinger was starting to believe that he wouldn’t be as fortunate.  Then he sees Molly and his bear is ready to claim her. Their relationship burns hot and fast as has been the case with all the men of the Grizzly MC. My favorite thing about the Grizzly MC’s is how mushy and soft they become when around the women they love. I smiled every time Stinger melted at Molly’s touch.I have become a fan of Ms. Snow’s writing style. Owned by the Outlaw follows her pattern of clear and concise writing, snappy dialogue and characters that I care about. Once I began reading the book, I couldn’t put it down until the final page. Fans of the series will love the epilogue giving us a glimpse into the future. It was wonderful to see all the couples that we have grown to care about and see how their lives have turned out.One of the things that I found so interesting about Owned by the Outlaw is that the story focused on a third character as equally as our two leads. Malice’s relationship with Molly was an integral part of the story. So many of us have a past that affects our current relationships, yet we don’t often see them on display so prominently in a romance.  Malice and Molly have a son together so they will always be a part of each other’s lives. Ms. Snow provided us with details on how this affected Molly and Stinger’s relationship. The interactions between the two alpha males was fascinating and helped the reader understand both men’s motivations.While you can certainly read Owned by the Outlaw as a standalone without too much difficulty following the plot, I would really suggest reading the entire series in order to get the full benefit. Owned by the Outlaw has obviously set the stage for what I am sure will be another enjoyable series, the Brothers of Menace MC. Ms. Snow did a fabulous job connecting the two series and I cannot wait to begin a new adventure with more sexy bikers.
