About this ebook

First in the exciting new Desert Dog series, starring hot and sexy bikers in the Southwest...

Backbreaking days, wild nights, and the hard hum of steel between your thighs...


That’s a life well lived, according to the Desert Dogs—four friends who call Fortuity, Nevada, their badlands home.

Vince Grossier is the self-crowned outlaw king around here. But when Fortuity’s slick new mayor invites a casino development to town, greed isn’t far behind—and it claims Vince’s good friend as its first casualty. With the law turning a blind eye to the mysterious death, Vince must seek his own brand of justice. The pretty photographer hired by the developers might be the key to uncovering the truth. And she’s a temptation too good to pass up.

Finally free of a controlling ex, Kim Paget’s not looking to be taken for a ride—not on the back of some tattooed roughneck’s bike and definitely not in his bed. But when she uncovers evidence supporting Vince’s suspicions of murder, Kim must entrust her safety to a man whose body threatens danger of a whole different kind.

This smooth flowing plot progresses at steady but sure pace building lots of anticipation and suspense along the way. The author draws the reader deeper into the story with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and not only the story but the strong compelling characters are believable, keeping the reader totally caught up in the story from beginning to end. The attraction between Kim and Vince burns up the pages and the sex scenes are hot and steamy, but the relationship moves slowly despite all the passion. The Desert Dogs, four long-time friends assist the investigation of the death of their friend which brings drama, excitement and some amusing interactions between them that also adds enjoyment and really ensures that the reader gets a good feel for the characters. The author has created her own spin on the motorcycle club element that is refreshingly different from the others that I have read. I have to wonder where the author is going with the psychic part and I thought some of the story was a little slow, for most I found the story enjoyable and entertaining and I am looking forward to reading the next one.

Okay, I have to admit this was a book I judged by the cover. What can I say? Its hot. Next thing is, I am a little confused because I assumed when I saw the series "Desert Dog" / (guy on bike) and the "fast, loud, and rough - on a bike or in a bed. its the only way to ride" slogan, I assumed I was going to read an MC romance. I was thrilled because Cara McKenna is a fab writer, so right away I was ecstatic. Except that its not an MC book. Although depicted as an outlaw king and is implied to be connected to such elements you don't really get any of those. So I was a tad disappointed. However, you get a decent murder mystery romance with lots of good heat, great characters, thrill and plot twists to keep you more than entertained. Cara is a great author that creates an exciting story.
