Rating: 4 out of 5

After the drama in the last book Shades Fall, Lily now knows that King is her Father. After things settle and King has had time to reflect he decides he's not happy that Lily is married to a man like Shade. He stays on in Treepoint hoping to find a way to get Lily away from Shade. But King has no idea who he's dealing with, the Last Riders are not just any MC there's a lot more to them than King realises. But he will soon find out who he's messing with. Shade assigns Evie to keep a close eye on King. Neither King or Evie are fools, they've both been through a lot in life. When King returns home, Evie Follows with Penni, Shades half sister. It's there in King's city where he runs things that he and Evie get closer.I must admit that I wasn't too keen when the author announced that she was writing Evie's story, she's a member of the Last Riders and one of the club women. But if there had to be a story featuring one of them I'm glad it was Evie, I honestly have no interest whatsoever to read books featuring the other club women, Bliss in particular.I liked King and Evie together they were a perfect match, though I did feel the sex scenes were rather low key between them. The other characters from the previous books were fairly prominent as well. There are some new characters that are introduced, one who has a connection to Evie. That seems like it's going to feature heavily in the future. I'm also finding it difficult to accept the fact that Pastor Dean is no more. He didn't seem to waste any time in moving back into club life and all that entails. He's firmly now established as his alter ego Lucky. I was surprised that his former flock seemed to so easily accept that without even a second thought. I like how Shade will go to any length to protect Lily, I just wish it didn't involve Shade telling Lily so many lies, even if they are lies by omission. It also seems now that the two separate series The Last Riders and The VIP Room seem to be merging so you'll need to read both if you want to be kept in the loop.POSSIBLE SPOILERS HERE............There's a claim made by Evie in this story about her and Shade. All I have to say is that's not how it appeared in a scene from Knox's Stand. Nor when Shade confessed to Lily in Shade's Fall. How he had enjoyed all the women in the house except for Beth, Winter and Diamond. Or when Lily got upset when the club women went on about how wonderful the shower was in Shade's room, Evie included. Overall I liked this story three and a half stars for me
