It’s been two years since I was traded to the Stone Riders Motorcycle Club.

While it saved my life, I was forced to leave behind the only person that ever mattered to me.

Dripping with tattoos, his hair as dark as his soul, the brooding president of the Death Raiders still holds my heart…even if he doesn’t seem to know what to do with it.

Yet, Silas has watched me from afar for years, always protecting me from a distance, and creating havoc on my tattered emotions.

To love, and be loved an arm’s length away has been torture…until it seemed we might finally free ourselves of this pain.

Unfortunately, whatever we wanted, or could have dreamed of having gets ripped out of reach when old enemies return.

While one wants power, the other….only wants me.

I’ll grieve the dream of a future with Silas because if there’s one thing I know, it’s that there is no world in which he would ever share me with another.

If this is to be our end, then I’ll say goodbye with ink-stained arms wrapped around me and death itself still holding my heart.

The fourth and final instalment in the Stone Riders MC series, this book has been building from the very beginning. A dramatic, dark and emotional story, Silas and Natty’s romance and long-awaited reunion is a wild rollercoaster that had me hooked from start to finish, and I loved it!

From the books so far, we know that Natty has been traded to the Stone Riders MC and is living quietly within the club for protection, and Silas is the broody, violent, ruthlessly feared President of the Death Raiders who watches over her from afar. I love it when you get series build up like this and go into a book already invested in the characters and their romance. And while I thought I had an idea of Silas and Natty’s story, actually getting to explore their past and the depth of their relationship was something else entirely.

All I wanted was Natty in my arms again. I’d waited long enough; Natty belonged to me.

Raised in the world of a dangerous 1% motorcycle club, Silas and Natty were foster siblings from a very young age. They grew up in the midst of danger, with trouble coming from multiple directions, trapped in their world and just doing their best to survive it. They cared for and protected each other, and as they grew up they fell in mad, unbreakable love and became each other’s whole worlds.

Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, big, scary Silas is actually a gentle soul who was dragged into a dangerous world that he wants nothing to do with. And though Natty has existed quietly in the background, she’s actually quite the badass – strong, brave, and willing to do whatever is necessary to reclaim her life. In the last book, Natty was taken by an enemy from their past, and now Silas is on an all-consuming mission to rescue the woman he loves.

“You are my sun, my moon. My life. I will come back for you.”

Moving between the past and the present, we get to see all of the detail of their early lives, how they became the people they are, what led to their separation, their reunion, and how they adjust to being back in each other’s lives. It’s a messy and heartwrenching journey, but at the heart of it is the most beautiful love story. These two are so in love, so committed, and so meant to be, and even in the dark ugliness of their world, they are able to bring peace and happiness to each other, and they are so beautiful together.

“Silas, you’re not beyond hope. You never will be.”
My throat was tight, and it seemed to swell with something uncomfortable. “How do you know?”
“Because you have me, I’ll be your hope. I’ll be your sun, your moon and anything else good in this world. Give me your dark and I’ll hand you all my light.”

They’ve been through so much already, but the danger is far from over. Evil from the past has returned and they find themselves once again in the firing line, testing them in ways they never could have anticipated. Despite their shared history and the depth of their connection, they discover that they still have things to learn about their pasts, and each other, and they are prepared to risk it all as they both go out to confront the danger that threatens their future.

“I’d die a thousand times over if it meant I could keep you safe. My life is not worth living without you in it … You’ve been my forever since my life started.”

I love these two together. They are the perfect complement to each other, and their connection is soul deep. They are both fiercely protective and would do anything for each other, and I loved seeing them reunited, rediscovering each other, opening up and dealing with their past traumas, and fighting for their future. It’s emotional and full of passion, and there’s something so very special about the two of them together.

But their world is dark and this is a dramatic and emotional read, and so very violent. There is dark subject matter in this book, so beware the author’s trigger warnings, and be prepared to feel, because this book broke my heart a number of times. But although it hurts, it’s worth it to see Silas and Natty come through and get the happy ending that they wanted, and that they so deserve.

The couples from previous books all appear, and I loved checking in with them and seeing them rally around Silas and Natty. There’s an epilogue which gives great closure, and I finished this book feeling so happy at how it all finished up.

I have really enjoyed this series, and Silas and Natty’s story wraps it all up really nicely. It’s a rollercoaster, but well worth it, and I loved this book.

4.5 stars.
