I’ve been impatiently waiting for Shot and Paisley’s story since I finished the last book in this series. This book kept me engaged but it’s definitely OOT. There’s some suspense and a lot of heat. Ultimately, this is the type of story that can only exist in a romance novel. These two don’t make any sense together and if not for the sunshine and rainbows that is the romancelandia, this couple would not have had a HEA. I definitely liked this story a lot but the completely unrealistic ending kept me from loving it as much as I expected to.

This was so freakin' good. I've been waiting for this journey between Presley and the MC Prez, ever since I read Unforgiven, Kody and Hill's story. I do love this whole memorable series. After Presley literally saves Shot's life, he owes her. That's the thought in his mind anyway, and since she has a deranged evil woman after her, Shot takes on the roll of protector. About the only thing these two have in common is their lack of knowing what being in love is. Two people stepping out of their boxes for the other and not quite sure why, either, until it's brought front and center to both. Blacklisted is full of the feels, ups and downs, life and death action, blazing heat, what family means, and best of all what being in love feels like. A well written fast-paced, intriguing, thrilling, suspenseful romance ending with an HEA that had me doing my own extremely relieved happy sigh!

'm a huge fan of Jay Crownover's work and I must say that I've been looking forward to Shot's book for quite some time. He's played such a role in the other books and I not disappointed! Blacklisted picks up where Unforgiven left off. You wouldn't necessarily have to have read Unforgiven, but it will certainly give you a better understanding of the family dynamics and how things have unfolded to get us to where we are at the beginning of the book. For that matter, pick up the whole series - it's worth it! Dr. Presley Baskin has recently found out that she is a half-sibling with the Lawton's. They are all still feeling out their relationships, but when she begins being harassed and terrorized by her former friend,/co-worker her family wants to help, especially her sister Kody and her brother, who happens to be the sheriff, Case. Shot Caldwell has known nothing else in his life than being part of an MC. His father was the head of one in Colorado and now he has his own chapter just outside of Loveless. While he skirts and sometimes breaks the rules, there is a caring and vulnerable guy underneath all that leather. Presley and Shot find themselves in one another's orbit quite often and they form a tentative friendship. Presley is strong, independent and she's determined to lure her former friend out in order to get the truths she seeks, but when she finds herself in need of help, she turns to the one person she knows can help her. Shot is more than willing to help Presley and he's taken by her strength and want for answers. For a man that doesn't normally want to spend time with women outside the bedroom, Presley is very different for him. Will these two seemingly different people be able to not only get the answers Presley needs, but also find their way to forever? This was such a great story. The characters, the suspense, the friendships and the familial bonds all combined to great such a rich platform for everything to unfold. Crownover always has had a way with words and she writes beautifully. I enjoy her books so much and look forward to what comes next!
