When he finds her again...he's not exactly pleased when he discovers Rhiannon's little secret.MY THOUGHTS~I chose to purchase and read this series because I absolutely love biker romance! I liked the idea of a prequel that was out by the time I started the series so I could read it first.I chose to review this as a series review rather than three individual reviews, because I read the entire series straight through. All the books flowed very well together and transitioned from one to the next very smoothly. I'm not sure it would do the individual books justice if I attempted to review them separately at this point. Had I been able to put them down in between books rather than jump right into the next, separate reviews may have been a possibility!  Kudos to Jayna Vixen for drawing me in and hooking me all the way through to the end!I thoroughly enjoyed this series from the prequel all the way through to the end of book two. It was captivating. The story line was unique in itself rather than the same old tired romance. I think that's part of what draws me to biker "romance". This author has a gift for creating unique situations.I have nothing negative or even critical to add to this review. I was extremely impressed with this series. I can't wait for more!WHERE TO BUY~Amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/Jayna-Vixen/e/B00APRKL1Q/ref=la_B00APRKL1Q_rf_p_n_feature_browse-b_1?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_82%3AB00APRKL1Q%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A618073011&bbn;=283155&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1393114475&rnid;=618072011Barnes & Noble[...]Kobo[...][...][...]Smashwords[...]
