About this ebook

My childhood best friend is a big, bad biker—and an animal in the bedroom.

I should know because we’ve been hooking up in secret for weeks.

We crossed a line we swore we’d never cross, but the lust we’d buried for years finally culminated in a night of heated passion.

I know the taste of Duke’s lips, but this is more than just desire. When we’re together I see the promise of forever in his eyes.

Duke is the only man who makes me feel safe enough to be vulnerable, but I’m terrified I’m going to screw it up and lose it all.

He won’t stop until he has every piece of me, including my heart. He wants me on the back of his bike, my name inked on his skin.

He wants me to be his Old Lady.

He wants me pregnant.

Ratings and reviews

The way Duke loves Willa is like no other. Emma makes you feel the love he has had for her since they were teenagers. I love how Duke will do absolutely anything to make her happy. This book does not have as much MC action which is one of my favorite parts, but I believe it is setting up some major action for the next book. Overall I could not put the book down. Emma has a way of drawing you and leaving you wanting more. I'm so excited about this series and this was a great installment.

I received an ARC of this book and Emma Slate didn't disappoint. We get to see into the lives of some of our Blue Angels friends, meet new characters, and get to know some better. We see into Willa and Duke's lives and how they are figuring out how to go from friends to lovers; with a lot of humor from Savage, and a lot of focus on Willa's sister. It was a great book - but giving it 4 stars because I felt there were some major events that needed more depth to what occurred.

Must read! Another huge success by Emma Slate with this 4th book of The Blue Angels Motorcycle Club Series. Duke and Willa are my new favorite couple in the series. Savage and Waverly complement the storyline. Love the banter between these 4 characters as it gives this book the feel of a real family; blood or not. The struggles between Duke and Willa are hearfelt and you continue to read just to see what happens next.

About the author

Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Emma Slate writes romance with heart and heat.

Called “the dialogue queen” by her college playwriting professor, Emma writes love stories that range from romance-for-your-pants to action-flicks-for-chicks.

When she isn’t writing, she’s usually curled up under a heating blanket with a steamy romance novel and her two beagles—unless her outdoorsy husband can convince her to go on a hike.
