Wyatt Strand is a hard man. He has hard features, speaks with harsh words, and has a hardened heart. Having served the Forsaken Motorcycle Club as Vice President, Wyatt is used to taking responsibility for his brothers, but when he’s handed the gavel everything changes. His brothers are now his men and the threat from the Italian mafia still looms in the distance. A president needs focus, but that’s nearly impossible when his old lady blows back into town and drops two very large bombshells on him.
Amber Wallace is a tough woman, but an even fiercer mother. She once told a lie to protect her unborn child that tore her away from the man she loves. And now, years later, she’s coming home to make amends. Wyatt’s changed, but the club hasn’t. Women are to be obedient. Unfortunately for Forsaken, Amber’s not about to let a few rules stop her from living the life she always imagined.
The Forsaken Motorcycle Club started a war with the Italian mafia and they’ve paid dearly for that choice. With a new president at the helm, the wheels are finally in motion to take down Mancuso once and for all. Even if it means taking the fight back to where it began.
Love is never more beautiful than when it consumes you.
“Ran out on me,” he
says. His voice makes it sound like he’s thirsty, so gravely and rough. “Last
time you ran out on me you were eight months pregnant with our fuckin’ son.
Don’t like seeing you leave me.”
“We need to talk,” I say quickly before he can reach me.
“You need to quit fucking leaving me.”
“Quit giving me reason to!” That’s not totally fair. It’s
not exactly his fault that the Italian guys showed up when they did. It’s not
one hundred percent his fault that Rig targeted Zander. But it doesn’t exactly
matter, either. Ever since Rig, I’ve been on edge and my moods are fluctuating
like crazy. I don’t like these feelings. Adding Wyatt to the mix turns my crazy
into straight-up insanity.
Wyatt storms toward me, grabs me around the waist and pulls
me against him. He tips my face up towards his. And all his gentle turns into
something else entirely in the blink of an eye.
“Knock it the fuck off!” He screams in my face, so loud, but
I barely hear the words.
The ball in my throat hardens and I’m forced to swallow it.
My hands shake with an anger that I don’t expect. I don’t know why I’m so mad
right now, but I am. Nervous, sure. Anxious, yeah. But mad? That one confuses
me. I don’t dwell on it though, because the frustration becomes too much to
swallow. I push him off me, angry and annoyed. I suck in an unsteady breath as
we stare each other down. He huffs. My eyes fall to his lips and they stay
there. It’s magnetic—the pull his lips have over me. Every time I look at them,
I’m either desperate to touch them or I remember every vile word that he’s ever
said to me. If I’m being honest with myself, even then, in those moments of
remembrance, I still want them on me. Nothing ever changes that. I hate
admitting that, even to myself, though.
I pull my gaze from his lips to find his eyes are on my
mouth now. His tongue pokes out, drags over his rough lips. I could fall into
this. I could let this happen so easily, but then we’ll end up right back where
we started.
“You can’t kiss me. You’re going to hate me soon, so please
don’t kiss me.”
Oh that ending...
I loved Amber Wallace. This woman was sassy, strong and just knew how to handle being the "Queen" of the MC world.
Amber Wallace put up a lot with Wyatt. When they were younger, their love for each other was strong, but Wyatt's constant screw-up over time, pushed Amber away. It caused her to lie to Wyatt and give him a reason to make her leave. Now years later, Amber is back with a couple of surprises for the new President, Wyatt.
Wyatt Strand is now the Pres and his boys are looking up to him for leadership and protection--making Wyatt straighten up. And when his old lady comes back to town, Wyatt is determined to make it right with her. But she's determined to protect herself and kids from Wyatt and any MC business. And she has a couple of bombshells to drop on him!
As always, this series is full on plenty of MC drama, angst and steamy scenes. Wyatt maybe the bad ass President, but he has plenty of sweet moments with Amber and the kids. And yes, that ending, it will leave you hanging. Hanging for MORE!!!
