This book was provided by Bijou Hunter in exchange for an honest review.We are finally getting back to the goods! Book #3 didn't do much for me, but thank God the story of Raven and Vaughn 'Outlaw' put the series back on the right track!Short synopsis:The Reapers bike club has taken on new leadership. Cooper and his gang have all partnered-up with their ladies and the only one that has been left out in the cold is Outlaw–that's until now.When Vaughn Majors made a split decision to finally stop just following orders, and go against his 'former' leader MC of the Devils, his life was changed forever. Now in a new town and parlaying with a new bikers' club the Reapers he has a bounty on his head, and it's just a matter of time before his past catches up to him again.A man that's been counting his days for the past few years hasn't needed to plan for a future. Dubbed the name 'Outlaw', he comes an goes as he pleases, he doesn't make friends, he doesn't do relationships, and he maintains his cold disposition almost always. Avoiding any personal commitment has kept him safe so far, so when his own savior walks into his life bringing hope with her, he can't help but to acknowledge the change in himself.Raven Hancock has had a disastrous up bringing. She fled from Ellseberg when her mom's latest husband gave her an ultimatum–play pretty innocent step-daughter or hit the road; she hit the road. After fleeing from Ellseberg with her 'then' boyfriend, she set out to become anything but her mother and the rest of the failing women in her family. Raven quickly learns that no matter where you run your problems will follow. She gives up and comes home when her sister–the only person she cares about–calls her to come home;she's needed.The only person who has ever matter to Raven has been her sister Lark. When she gets home and sees that Lark has created what they've both wanted since kids–a good and loving husband, friends, and her own makeshift family–hope sparks anew for Raven. Her only problem...she's not sure if she still believes in love, in fact, she refuses to be 'stupid' and fall in love again; men have been her downfall since she started noticing them. Fortunately for Raven her plans fall to the side once she meets Vaughn. He's the perfect solution to her new problem–falling in love.Together, Raven and Vaughn enter into a 'no strings attached' agreement where they can be friends and reap the benefits.But the more time Raven spends with Vaughn she notices that he's not as bad as he seems. Of course he's out-of-this-world-hot, but he's also funny, and loving, and protective.Vaughn can't believe that he's actually fallen prey to the same fate as his buddies; he's fallen in love. He finally can hope again, hope to build a future with the one and only person who means everything to him. Now is the time to face his past, fight for his future, and become something more than his 'job'.The Best Thing:What's not to like about this book? You've got one of the baddest men in the bikers club proving he can fall for his girl and still whoop a**.Things I loved!- I love the characters of course. Raven is a true smarta**, but I love how she keeps Outlaw on his toes.I really enjoyed experiencing these two characters fall for one another despite how hard they tried to deny it.- The heat between these two was pretty hot...actually is was probably the hottest since reading about Farah and Cooper.- I like how Raven stood up to both men and women around; she was no pansy. I also like how real her character was. She may have stood up to a lot of people, but she struggled with that when it came to her own 'sperm donor' or father.The Worst Thing:I don't have a lot of tweaks for this book in the series because I really enjoyed it!
