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.

Story
I wasn't ready to be president of an MC like Iron Tzars, but my father left me little choice. I grew up in the club. At 29, most of the men still see me as no more than a kid. But my daddy taught me well. I tolerate no disloyalty or disrespect and always put the club first. Then I met Iris. She's a heap of trouble in a small package and she pings my radar from the moment I first lay eyes on her. I know she's going to be mine—which means she has to trust me to take care of her. But Iris trusts no one when it comes to her sister. With both of them in danger, I now have to make a decision.

Story
I've been in love with Sebastian Kemp since the second grade. Yes, the Sebastian Kemp. World famous hockey player. International playboy. Gorgeous heartthrob. I know, right? Get in line. I've been best friends with his younger sister since grade two, but I was convinced that he forgot I was alive. That's why I was so surprised when I turned on the news and saw my name and face all over it, saying that we were engaged. He shows up out of nowhere.

Meiling -- All I’ve ever known is pain. My life has been far from a fairy tale. No parents. No friends. Just an endless nightmare that I can’t wake from. Until the day a man offered me his hand and promised to keep me safe. I’ve never trusted anyone before, but there’s something about him. Maybe it’s insane, but I know he won’t hurt me, and when he puts his arms around me, for the first time in my life I feel loved.

I was sixteen when I learned a hard lesson. No, it wasn’t a lesson. It was worse. Kidnapped, tortured, abused in the worst of ways… I’d thought my life was over. Until the day my knight in shining armor came to save me. Patriot. Despite how scary he looks, he has to be the kindest man I’ve ever met. He not only rescues damsels in distress, but animals too. Under that hard exterior is a heart of gold. It doesn’t matter that he’s older than me.

Angel: I’m a teacher. Or rather, I want to be. Fresh out of college, I went on a date with the wrong man and ended up drugged and helpless in a really bad place. The motorcycle club I was taken to was no place for a woman, as I found out the hard way. They thought I was helpless, but I managed to get away - only to stumble onto three kids who need me as a teacher. The problem? They’re with another club. I can’t leave them until I’m convinced they're safe. Unfortunately, the club president doesn’t like me much. He’s also the hottest man I’ve ever come across.

I’m the youngest grad student at MIT, and to say other students resent me for it is an understatement. To top it all off, I miss my Stunner. He’s been with me through the darkest moments of my life, helping me pull myself back together. He’s seen me at my worst—I want him to see me at my best. If he’d just return my calls, I might be able to get myself around the mean girls (and boys) at school.

Assassin Casper Van Horne, Picasso of wet work and pain in my ass, has asked my club to take in two Colombian princesses. Well, he didn’t use the term princesses, but I have no doubt they’ll be spoiled little bitches. The first time I see Luciana and her sister, I think I’ve got them pegged just right -- until I look in Luciana’s eyes and see the fear she’s trying to hide. Something isn’t right. I know it deep in my gut. I never once thought a woman nearly forty years younger than me could ever captivate me, but the more I get to know her, the more Luciana holds me spellbound.

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!

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.

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.

Everything is not always what it seems
I loved this series, but I literally feel in love with Walker. He was a real butthole at first, but you had to hear his side to understand why. Once his side came out, I changed my thoughts about Walker. Blossom was young, inexperienced, and scared to death of her stepfather, who was using her for his political aspirations.
I love how the Iron Tzars came for Walker and made him work for Blossom.. and Dog, and her puppies stole the pages every time they showed up.
As always, Umi made the characters believable and came off the pages. You truly believed not only are you part of the club, but you are the proverbial fly on the wall about the inside info.
