Synopsis

First in the exciting new Desert Dogs 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 shady casino development to town, the invaders' cutthroat takeover tactics quickly turn deadly. With police turning a suspiciously blind eye, it's up to the locals to fight back, and Vince is on the front line. The pretty photographer hired by the developers might be the key to infiltrating the enemy—and a temptation too good to pass up.Finally free of a controlling ex, Kim Paget is 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 finds evidence that her bosses are rattlesnake dangerous, Kim must entrust her safety to the man who threatens danger of a whole different kind.

Goodreads review by Amanda on September 01, 2014

Apart from the really HOT dry humping scene that everyone was talking about, this book didn't really hit the mark for me. Vince is a fun hero that is full of humor and a tad sarcastic. Kim, the heroine is a sassy one. The romance was okay, but lost steam after half way because they were mostly sleut......more

Goodreads review by Alex is The Romance Fox on February 28, 2015

Wow…this is some hot and wicked romance with a dose of suspense thrown in. What a start to Cara McKenna’s Desert Dogs Series. After being so disappointed with the last book I read by this author, I am over the moon finding this series. Set in a small town in the Nevada boondocks, with interesting and......more

Goodreads review by Kim on August 13, 2016

3.5 Stars It took me a while to understand how I felt about this book. It was NOT what I expected from this author. Normally Cara McKenna can woo me, wow me, totally turn me into a big pile of melty goo. But this book is a lot more suspense, mystery, and much less steamy erotica. And she added a touch......more

Goodreads review by WhiskeyintheJar on November 20, 2014

This book had way more story to it than I anticipated and I loved every second of it. It is heavier on the mystery and suspense angle but the author does a fantastic job of writing it and still incorporating all her characters while keeping the main couple, Vince and Kim front and center. This is Ca......more

Quotes

“McKenna opens her Desert Dogs series on the perfect note, presenting readers with a story that is sizzling, intelligent, and completely absorbing. She burrows under each character’s skin, exposing the best and the worst of every one, and her well-executed badlands setting reflects her biker gang perfectly: gritty, rugged, dangerous, but noble and utterly captivating. The murder investigation that drives this plot is taut and well-developed, but it is the spark between this wonderfully unlikely couple that makes this book the success it is. Without a doubt, this is a series to watch.” RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)

“McKenna ratchets up sexual chemistry and danger in equal measure, and tension stays high to the end. Readers will eagerly turn pages to learn the outcome of both the mystery and the romance.” Publishers Weekly
