About this listen

Blossom -- My life is about as complicated as it can get. To fulfill his political aspirations, my stepfather has decided to sell me to a man who can take him to the governor’s seat. He’s always been abusive, demanding I be perfect in public, silent in private, and obey him in all things. After we moved to Evansville, Indiana, I spent months trying to find the perfect protector, looking for the biggest, bravest, meanest man I could find. Then I meet Walker from the motorcycle club, Iron Tzars. He’s everything I need, everything I want, and nothing I can handle. But he’s the one. And I’m determined for him to make me his.

Walker -- I’m emotionally unavailable, a mean bastard on the best of days. Serving my country as a Dog Handler for the Army, finding explosives meant to kill my fellow soldiers and innocent people, left me with emotional scars I never thought I’d get over. I lost my fiancée, my partner, and my ability to empathize with anything. Hell, I even refused to name the dog that took up with me and refused to leave, simply calling her Dog. Then this lost little waif worms her way into a compound full of hardasses who never allow outsiders. Of all the men in this club, the little fool sets her sights on me. Time to set her straight. Only, I might have gone too far. If Blossom doesn’t survive this, it’s on me. And I might have accidentally fallen for her.

WARNING: Graphic violence, adult situations, and references to human trafficking and domestic abuse that may be triggers for some listeners. Features a grumpy hero and a feisty heroine. Eventual happy ending and NO cheating, as always.

Good

This book was just as good as the rest. I did find myself laughing at time because they where fighting for a woman who no one had a claim on. All she wanted was the one man who took time for him to allow himself to love and protect her.

So much danger...

Don’t be fooled by this one when it starts out seemingly generic - he’s acting like a d!¢k to turn her off. He has good reasons, but that isn’t what I meant … The female lead is stuck with an abusive, powerful politician father who is very abu$!ve.

I love a good protector / action-y / suspense-y read. Bikers too? Even better.

As usual, I was hooked just minutes into this.

Abusive parent.
Corrupt politics.
Motorcycle club.
Animal rescue.
Age gap.
Dogs!!
Protector romance,
Slow/ medium burn.

This was the third of 3, as in I binge-read 3 of this author’s MC reads tonight while I worked and I still want more—so fun!

4 stars.


🎧 Audio:
I absolutely love this narrator—she’s done amazing with all of the books in this series. Smooth voice, appropriate emotion inserted, etc. 5 stars.

Blossom and Walker

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. This is my honest review.
Walker. With a history of violent military service, past heart breaks, he has become an unlikeable man, but a dependable, strong MCC member. Blossom. Is looking for protection from her abusive stepfather. She is just the sweetest character. Their story is amazing.

Umi Markkanen narrates their story with knowledge and feelings to match. Her male voice is even believable. 5 stars for her.

Great Addition

to the series, I really enjoyed these characters and love that they though it is along the insta love like the previous this one started off with a little more conflict and the MMC had to work a bit harder for it all. I also like that though they are short quick listens I'm never left wanting at the end it's a full complete story with great narration.

Grumpy/Sunshine

Walker is a grumpy emotionally unavailable biker who won’t even name his dog. Blossom is sunshine and kindness personified but she’s hiding something. Walker gets annoyed that he can’t ignore Blossom and even his dogs like her (when they only like him),so he goes out of his way to run her off. Blossom is trapped in an abusive/controlling situation that she wants to ask for help with but before she can ask the club discovers her secret. If you thought Walker was mean wait until this woman is threatened and make no mistake, she is his long before they figure it out! A great addition to the series!

Great Book

I enjoyed this audiobook narrated by Umi Markkanen. I liked Blossom's sass and how she stands up for herself against Walker. Walker was a jerk to her at the beginning. Thank goodness he got his head out of his you know what to realize how special she was to him and his future. Great book.

I liked the Iron Tzars and their sense of family. I wasn’t as crazy about the way Walker treated Blossom.
The narrator was very good and was easy to understand.

Great book

This was a great audiobook. Characters were well rounded and entertaining. They were well written and rounded out. The world building was done well. The story pulled me in and had me wanting to speed it up to hear it faster. It was a well written book and the narrator did a great job bringing it to life. They gave each character spirit and life. This audio book was given to me with promo credit and this is my honest review.

Walker

This book just like the others was amazing. Blossom looking for protection from her politician step-father. Walker seems like a d!ck but don't let that fool you. Umi as always did amazing with the narrating.

Sparkle and Glitter

It's hard not to like Blossom 🌸 Evergreen (there's a story to go with her name). I don't agree with his tactics, so I love the dress down Walker gets after it's learned what he did to push her away. I also like that she makes him sufficiently grovel.

There are some terrible things that happen. I love how the Club, especially the eligible men, rallies to do what they can to make things right. Some are chuckle worthy and others are sweet even if off the mark. The dogs just add to the fun in more ways than one.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen and is always easy to listen to.
