Review: Another angst filled entry in this excellent series, but .....

SynopsisThe fourth book in the Undeniable series focuses on the saga of Jase, Hawk and Dorothy. This isn’t a standalone book, so I really can’t give their history without spoiling what happens in earlier books.  Suffice it to say, all have made mistakes and it’s a gigantic fakakta biker soap opera all by itself.The Good and the Not So GoodI abhor cheating and it usually turns me right off a story.  There are select instances where I can still enjoy it - if the cheating serves to bring the H/h together (I cannot stand when the hero cheats on the heroine) AND if they suffer painful consequences for that cheating.  This is definitely the case here.  Jase, Hawk and Dorothy have to own up to their actions that have lead to much wasted time.  Much like in real life, there’s regret and recriminations, and they are no quick fixes.  It gives a depth to this series that I really enjoy.This series tends to have one couple coming together at the center of it all, but really it’s an ongoing soap and there are threads of storylines from previous books that continue from book to book.  I enjoy that type of storytelling and Ms. Sheehan’s work has been phenomenal in this series.  It started as a car wreck I couldn’t look away from, and now as the characters have grown and matured (or in many cases imploded through their own mistakes), I’ve grown to care about alot of them and want to see what’s next in their angst-filled lives.The only real issue I have with this book is that the love triangle at the heart of it has already played out in previous books as a secondary storyline.  There’s a feeling of conclusion rather than discovery, and that just made me feel like not really exploring anything new, just tying up their tale, so that we can move onto the next chapter, which is the next generation of bikers and their old ladies.  I enjoyed it but I don’t know if Jase/Hawk and Dorothy’s conclusion couldn’t have played out just as well as part of another book, rather than as the star attraction.If you haven’t read any of the previous books, you couldn’t jump in on this one and really make sense of it all.  If you want a clean end to a book, that’s not the case here - the cliffhanger (which doesn’t affect the ultimate HEA here) is a doozy and really intrigues me - trying to figure out how Ms. Sheehan’s going to make THAT love story work is crazy.The Bottom LineThis is still an excellent MC series that I’d recommend if you’re into angsty, raw storytelling, just don’t jump in on this book, start at the beginning with Undeniable.
