Rating: 4 out of 5

Barbie and Lou were not what I expected from their appearance in Book 2. The Colson brothers can be described as a study in extremes - Lou seems to be the super well adjusted brother as we see when he gets Barbie back to Washington state. In Salem Charm we get taken on a biker's road trip from Arizona to Washington. I know I couldn't handle that many hours on a HOG!. I really enjoyed Barbara, Barbie,Bobby's transition from Southern Belle to biker babe. The cultures she is introduced to on the road trip are funny and help to bring about the HEA of the story.As a reader of the whole series there are points when I still say hmmm? For example I am still a little confused as to the time period of the novel. Is it set in the present or the near future? Our reality or an alternate one? The structure of the chapters and clubs in this series seems overly convoluted. As a fan of SOA I am used to the chapter vs overall club concept. However, as I understand the structure in this series the individual chapters do not always carry the overall club's name. How in the world do they keep track of which group has been patched over?Any way, a good read, the author has hit her writing style, the character's are well developed and the dialogue is good. Ms Madison is telling her story through the dialogue instead of showing it through the narrative.
