Gabe didn't find what he needed there, but he did find it a few miles away, deep in the swamps of New Orleans in a clubhouse full of Jokers.
Gabe's life becomes all about Harley's, parties and women, but when he's shot in an attack on his club, fate will launch him head first towards his first real love, and into the adventure of a lifetime.
Patrice Leboux just met the man of her dreams, and that led to the discovery that her entire life had been a twisted road of lies and deceit.
She would soon come face to face with the man who had given her life, but claims to not know she ever existed.

Gabe and Patrice are connected by more than their feelings for each other. The infamous president of The New Orleans Jokers will be at the center of their love story whether they like it or not, and once Blackheart is involved, they both better be ready for the ride of their lives.
I have to say we are really enjoying
this new series and its characters this current story enticed you right from the beginning and kept you glued to the pages to the very end. The story had a lot of unfinished business and a whole lot of betrayals and Blackheart is the kind of man that hates unfinished business but, not only that when something just doesn't seem right with the death of Kayla Patrice mother no stone will be un-turned into the mystery surrounding her death is solved.
Patrice was just one of those characters who you absolutely loved instantly she was a pit bull, opinionated, strong, independent, fierce, and had no problem standing up for herself and she had no problem standing up to Blackheart and all his scariness. My kind of girl!
Gabe -poor poor Gabe and his misfortunes but, those misfortunes lead him to the love of his life. I have to say that I felt a bit sorry for him as his women is going to be a handful and he will never have a dull life that is for sure and if he thinks he will be able to tame that Philly to fit into club life he can think again.lol
Overall we really enjoyed the story.I loved that we had and inkling who could have been involved with what happened to Patrice's mom but, not to the extent it unfolded to and we love when that happens. I have to say my heart really went out to Patrice in the fact she never got to know the women who gave her life because all that we learned of her was that she was such a beautiful person inside and out. I am waiting to see when reality really sets in to see what kind of father Blackheart is going to be because man does that man scare the crap out of even me with all his fierceness and dominating ways as we only have seen a flicker of any kind of sign that the man is even human is when it comes to his women Sally but, the truth of it all is he does have one because you just have to look at all he did for Gabe and his family even though you may never be able to prove it. Time will tell will we see a softer version of Blackheart? I am so looking forward to finding out and I am so looking forward to his war on wearing Sally down to become his wife and an old lady.

Wow ! What a great start to an brand new series.I was intrigued from the moment I started turning the pages from the plot of the story to where the story takes place.We loved the magic as they say that surrounds New Orleans and that it is shrouded in legends and myths and culture right down to the black magic and voodoo to those who believe and practice it.
I am sorry to say that it took me
awhile to warm up to Evan\Blackheart and Sally as it wasn't an instant love but, as I continued to turn the pages they slowly wormed their way into my heart.
I love that Sally and Evan\Blackheart had a history as they were childhood friends turned lovers and continued their on and off love affair for over 30 years.We loved that had a lot in common like where they grew up and came from and how immersed they were in the culture and the beliefs and how they learned not to brush off the wisdom of the elders especially what they see or how they come to learn it.
Two friends destined to be soulmates but, fate got in the way.I found Evan\Blackheart to be a lot like Doc Marshall in the fact he had the best of the best when it came to Sally and yet, he kept her at arms length even knowing she would always be the love of his life but, the big bad Cajun biker wants the best of both worlds yet, not wanting the women he loves so desperately to have a man that can give her all the things she craves and deserves . Sometimes love is just not enough and my heart went out to Sally as she clearly loved Evan with her all yet, felt stuck in time.
Overall we really loved it as the story was shrouded in mystery and intrigue and the suspense that had you on the seat of your pants at times right down to its character's.We loved where the plot took place and all the descriptions of the bayou and the mystery it holds right down to wrestling of a crocodile like it was and every day occurrence.
In a way a found Evan's and Sally love to be tragic as it kept you wondering why a women like Sally with all that she has accomplished and the beautiful person she was would stay in a complicated relationship like she did but, as the story progresses things start making a bit more sense as to why they were together yet apart but, one thing is for sure Sally is finally seeing to those things she craves out of life and perhaps Lucien the new man in her life can give her what she deserves but, is the cost of leaving your heart behind a fair trade ? Only time will tell.
Final thoughts- I can wait to see what happens next especially with the bomb that was dropped at the end of the story. We will be waiting patiently on pins and needles to see what happens next. And we can't wait to see where the next journey takes Evan\Blackheart and the lovely Sally and will fate finally right itself once again...
