Mal and Sawyer are two characters that play important roles in Vaughn & Smoke's story and they just leaped off the page needing their own story. Sawyer is a mechanic who in a bid to get his patch helps his club way and beyond what one would expect. He's just looking for a place to belong. Mal is a natural caretaker and when he notices the toll Sawyer is paying steps right in with a shoulder to help carry the weight. I loved how the relationship evolved, how it all seemed logical, even organic, how patient Sawyer was with what Mal was able to give and how in the end it paid up nicely. Mostly I liked that although romance novels like this one, MM set in an MC world, are perforce a bit of wishful thinking the author kept the characters pretty realistic. They're not unicorns & rainbows kind of men (no shade the rainbow crowd) and other than falling, sliding, and tumbling down love with another man they still have grease under their nails. Enjoy!!!!
