I really love this unique cop team!

In many ways this main character reminded me of Harry Bosch, another unique cop from another author. I fervently hope that the author, Alan Russell, will continue to write with this man and his dog buddy in mind!

On the outside, this whole series seems like such an odd match for me. First of all, I am a woman in my 40's with teenage children. Second, I am not a fan of the motorcycle club movement in books and TV shows and such. However, I am obsessed with this series, and Katie McGarry really outdid herself with Long Way Home.

If you've been reading the series, then you are probably like me and have been begging for Violet and Chevy's story. The tension between them has been stretched throughout the other books. You could feel the heartache that came with every encounter between Chevy and Violet and so far their history has only been hinted at.

Violet carries a lot of hard feelings for the Reign of Terror, the motorcycle club her father was a part of and died serving. The Terror seem to be controlling every aspect of Violet's life and the more she tries to pull away and separate her family from the Terror, the more the leaders seem to tighten the reins. Violet's friends are all loyal to the MC and cannot understand her need to pull away.

Both being children of the Terror, Chevy and Violet have been friends forever. Their friendship grew into a young and passionate love. Things fell apart when Violet's trust in the Terror crumbled and while Chevy's 18th birthday is quickly approaching, he is determined to prove his loyalty to his family and the club.

Long Way Home is an action-packed ride from the beginning. To avoid spoilers, I've only mentioned some of the behind-the-scenes tensions going on in this story, but the real conflict involves The Riot, The Reign of Terror's rival motorcycle club. While the Terror may push some boundaries, they always try to operate within the confines of the law. The Riot has no such convictions and will use threats and violence and whatever else it takes for them to get the revenge they feel they deserve.

As Violet tries to pull farther away from the Terror, she finds herself in Riot territory with seemingly few routes of escape. Chevy and Violet's love for each other is renewed and tested even more than ever before. Their loyalty to their families, the club, and each other is stretched to the limits. With actions that will definitely alienate them from the Terror and the Terror leaders, they both take big risks, but sometimes the right man for the job is a girl.

Katie McGarry knows how to write authentic characters that you want as your own best friends. Their struggles are real and sometimes life-threatening, yet never feel outrageous or overdone. I end every one of her stories with my heart pounding and my soul begging for more.

This books is recommended for Young Adult, New Adult, and Contemporary Romance readers. It's a full 5-Star Read.

If you are a fan of this series like I am, then the enjoyment continues,  I love that this show is low key and in the west and not like your typical cop shows. I love the characters.

Great game with a very unique theme.  It is fully co operative with a traitor element if you want to add it in.  The game play is very fast and I felt like it was very strategic but worked well to have the group do a variety of things in order to beat the game.  Incidents are drawn you have gangs building up as well as a murder to solve and it takes full cooperation from everyone to manage your individual police officer.

Writing a sports series, I would imagine it has to get harder to write original stories.  You gotta keep the characters interesting and always changing.  And since in this case our heroes are all sports stars, a lot of that is having the perfect heroine to spice things up.  That always keeps me interested in this series.  I am always excited to see what the next heroine will bring next!

In this case, we met both Drew and Carolina in the previous book.  Carolina is Greys sister (from the previous book).  Shes also the now Vice Presidents daughter, and a fashion designer trying to launch her own line during New York Fashion Week.  Shes independent and determined and she wants to succeed at her job not because of who her father is, but on her own merits.  She doesnt want people to think that shes another rich girl trying out fashion design as a hobby.

Drew is her brothers best friend and a hockey player.  Be still my fluttering heart, thats a killer combination!  I love the trope of best friends sibling and add to that the fact that Drew and Carolina did have a little history while in college and this setup had everything I normally go for!  I did mention the sexy hockey player angle, right?

Since shes launching her line, she gets her brother and Drew to model for her.  Lucky girl!  Neither one of them are looking for a relationship, Carolina is just looking to let off some steam.  Drew might be looking for something a little deeper, but he may not know or understand it right away.  The slow dating, the friendship and connection that built throughout the first part of the book was great.  I can appreciate that their story wasn't rushed and that they really got to know one another better after years not interacting with each other.

MELTING THE ICE delivered everything Ive come to expect in a Jaci Burton book, especially one from this series.  It was sweet and sexy, with a hero to die for!  Ms. Burton manages to brings us into the fold of these families and come to care about the characters as if we were really there.  That was my favorite part about this book.  I love Carolina and Drew!  I felt an immediate connection with them as if they were real people, that Ive known forever.

But just as much as I love them, I CANNOT WAIT for the next couple.  I have a feeling Im going to die for Trevor!

I was thrilled to see one of Bouchard's books on Book Bub! I've read three in the Vigilante series and this one didn't disappoint. It looks like there is going to be a new member of the team and I'm anxious to read the ensuing installment. Highly recommend.

I love modern Detective books, but sometimes I get a little too overwhelmed in the darkness and that's when I turn to Jack Daniel's & Company.  I have literally laughed out loud many times over the years as well as cringed and if late, became depressed that their series was coming to a close, but as a true fan I have started the series all over again and I remember why I love these guys. Start at the beginning and get ready for a ride. They are definitely not for the faint of heart, but mix just enough grit, humor, hardboiled and detectives you can relate to to seduce even the most persnickity crime reader over for a little indulgence in something totally unique

Not like any other cop show I've seen. Instead of taking place inside a squad room, it centers around a family of cops and how they deal with the day to day life. I love the closeness of the family. I've become addicted.

I absolutely love the Tracy Crosswhite series! If you enjoy a kick-ass heroine, shes your girl. She doesnt delicately faint at the sight of blood or trip in her high heels when being chased. She is tough as nails and a damn good cop. Bravo, Mr. Dugoni!

Every episode is fast, clever and just very different than other law enforcement series. I would characterize this series as a law enforcement thriller. And you can't help but like Luther, even though he takes the law into his own hands while other law enforcement seek to bring him down using tactics just as questionable, if not worse. Lots of action and cerebral entertainment.

This is an awesome series, one of my favorites! It's well written, especially in the descriptions of mindjacking. The whole time you feel right there with the characters.

There are so many twists and turns in the plot I didn't see coming I never had a clue how it would end. And I was blown away. Not your typical happy ending, but good all the same.

The characters are refreshingly unique, and the author did a fantastic job developing them throughout the series. The moral challenges, love, and loss were just as dramatic as the action scenes and politics.

I am never disappointed in a book with these characters. Very few authors can integrate a cop's personal life so well with his job. I would like to know this family in real life. It doesn't matter what the plot is I am sold-the characters and writing is absorbing

Story really came together in this season - unique circumstances and ideas introduced into the world of law enforcement and big city drug gangs - looking forward to next season

We are thoroughly enjoying this show.  It's new and different for a cop show.  The lead actors are well matched and believeable.  Show centers around a new division of the police force.  Where four officer's/detectives (one is a psychologist) who all deal with cases involving  mental suspects or victims.  Check it out.  I highly recommend it.

I cant believe how much fun I have listening to Shelbys adventures. This time the trouble she gets into is not all her fault as she is being framed for murder. Someone is out for revenge and is taking her down with it, but Shelby is sure she can figure out who is behind it before she gets into to much trouble.

The characters in these stories are delightful, and I love Shelby she is so much fun and real. She has a great relationship with her husband and two kids. I am really glad that Chris is starting to be a lot more understanding of her mind reading abilities because as much as it gets her into trouble it has helped her stay alive and this time help her find out who is framing her.

Its hard to find a secondary character that I like more than the other because they are all so great. I do think I love Ramos the most though and he just sounds so cute. I do think Shelby flirts a bit to much with him but if it was me I think I might have a hard time not wanting to flirt a bit with him. She never wavers though as much as he suggest they kiss, etc, she always remembers she married so that is good! My second favorite would be Dimples..AKA Detective Harris and I really felt sorry for him in this one because he has to question Shelby about the murder and he felt bad doing it cause he knew she didn't do it. Then there is Uncle Joe, the mob boss that you just sort of love even though you know you shouldnt.

There was a new character this go around and she was a lot of fun. Her name was Bobby Jo and she is a reporter trying to get the scoop on the murder. She makes a real cute girlfriend for dimples. :)

Trapped by Revenge was a real fast paced fun read and I would recommend this whole series to anyone who lights fun bit of mystery and adventure.
