The Insurgents MC series are standalone romance novels. This is Shadow’s story. This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. It describes the life and actions of an outlaw motorcycle club. HEA. No cliffhangers.

What an amazing book. It had me guessing for ages about who the killer could be. And I was completely shocked about who it was.
I loved Shadow and Scarlett together. They could be themselves and still have fun with friends.
I can’t wait to see what comes next
Oh I loved the twist in this book, mostly because I didn’t guess it! And I’m so pleased I didn’t as the whole book is kinda centred round it. I liked the characters, I really felt for them and what was going on. And I enjoyed watching the interactions and relationships as they built. There is quite a bit of steam, lol, but it flows in nicely with the story. It seems that I’ve managed to find myself another series to go and start from the beginning!
Loving the combination of suspense and romance! This book starts out with somewhat of a prequel to give us information about Shadow and his past, giving us insight into what events caused him to become the person he is. Scarlett has grown up in privilege, but is finding out that as she gets older she really wants a life all her own and can’t stand the privilege. When she meets Shadow at a mutual friends engagement party, the sparks fly instantly. Afterwards, they run into each other and while they both know they should stay away from each other, they can’t seem to fight the pull between them. Shadow really helps Scarlett take the initiative in taking her life into her own hands and making the decisions to make the plans a reality. In addition, Scarlett helps Shadow to show that he is more capable of feelings than he thinks. What really made this book for me was the suspenseful aspect regarding Shadow’s mother’s murder and how it ties into Scarlett and her family. While I enjoyed the romance and relationship between these two, I really couldn’t wait to finish the book in order to find out who murdered Shadow’s mother – and I was totally surprised at who it was! Definitely kept me continuously guessing and made it an enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Love this series. Shadow’s life was forever changed when his mother was murdered when he was 15. Thankfully for his friend Eli and his family took him in. When he turned 18 he joined the Inusugents. Years later and the murder still hasn’t been solved. He meets Scarlett and sparks and love come to be. Secret are revealed, surprise revelations and plenty of heat. HEA.
Oh man this is why I am so freaking hooked to this series!!! Chiah knows how to deliver and deliver she did. These two couldn’t be more opposites but perfect for each other. The chemistry is undeniable even when they try.
Shadow never saw himself as ever getting close to anyone who is rich. After the childhood he went through there is no way but he can’t deny the draw he has towards Scarlett. No to mention
Scarlett never expected to end up with Shadow at the rehearsal dinner and she never thought he would be part of an MC. There is no way her family would approve and in fact they are trying to get her with another but she can’t stay away from Shadow. With Shadow she feels alive and happy.
Being together may cause more than drama. Secrets are revealed, dangers arise, death comes knocking for some and so much more. I couldn’t put this one down and you will be just as hooked.
Shadow and Scarlett come from two different worlds, although Shadow spent some time in her world when he was a teenager. That doesn’t stop the sizzling chemistry between them that burns hotter than the summer heat. As they move toward their HEA, the most unlikely person steps in to make sure that doesn’t happen.
5 stars
Another fantastic installment in the Insurgents series by Chiah Wilder.
Shadow and Scarlett couldn’t be more different, one grew up dirt poor in a trailer park, the other is a rich high society princess. But as the saying goes, opposites attract… In their case, it’s instant lust that grows into something more. There’s a secret that threatens their newfound love, will they be strong enough to withstand the ultimate?
These two are hotter than fire and well worth the read!

OMG!!
This is my first book in the Insurgent MC series and I’m hooked. What a fantastic read that gives me all the sexy biker I love and a suspense that keeps you turning page after page!
Shadow had a really rough childhood and Scarlett had the life of luxury so you would never think these two would even meet in the first place. Shadow did have a friend who had the exact opposite lifestyle of him and he was about to marry with the engagement party being held at a swanky county club. This was where Scarlett and Shadow would meet with Shadow not showing any indication that he was a member of the Insurgents. The couple was immediately pulled toward one another and their chemistry was off the charts.
Now secrets were beginning to unfold and the couple had to walk the line between two totally different worlds. This is a definite must read for any MC lover!!
This is the 14th book in this phenomenal series and Shadow and Scarlett’s story is a fantastic addition! Shadow has heartbreaking past, and Scarlett has her own issues, but from the moment they meet the chemistry is off the charts. This is a well written flawless story which is steamy, emotional, humorous, and filled with mystery, suspense, and with an unexpected surprise. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
As expected from Miss Wilder this was a faced paced story full of mystery, intrigue, heartbreak, love, and sexy scenes that scorched my kindle. I was captured from page one. I wanted to slow down, to savor every word but the storyline wouldn’t let me. I was right there in the story feeling all of the emotion and angst.
I really enjoy the way this author can bring characters together that otherwise wouldn’t be in the same orbit.
Shadow had a childhood no one should have. Scarlett had a privileged childhood, but sometimes privilege comes at a price.
Shadow and Scarlett are combustible. They fit together like two pieces of a puzzle.
I thought I had this story all figured out and tied up with a neat little bow. The conclusion will leave you breathless.

While seeking his revenge Scarlett is the last thing that Shadow expects to find, once secrets are revealed and dangerous rivals may destroy everything. I love this series so much and this author just blows me away, definitely must read!!!
Shadow is in the Insurgents Motorcycle club so he’s a hardcore biker who loves uncomplicated women and his bike. Scarlett is a rich, pampered woman and knows nothing of the biker life. They meet at a friend’s engagement party and hook up. They never expect to see each other again until Shadow helps one of the brothers with a job he is working on. Scarlett’s father is having a building built and the Insurgents are the contractors. They start to see each other and the sex is so hot, it almost burns them up. Someone is trying to break them up and Shadow’s past comes back up again.
I love Ms. Wilder’s biker books. They are emotional and gritty. Plenty of sex and usually a psycho. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because some of the dialogue between Shadow and Scarlett, or if they were just talking to themselves, wasn’t smooth. For some reason it just bothered me.
An absolute page-tuner with a great storyline and wonderful characters.
Shadow and Scarlett are from two different world. Shadow is a patched member of the Insurgents MC and Scarlett is a princess of Hugh society. They aren’t suppose to be together, much less fall in love, but there is no stopping true love. He has a dark past he is seeking revenge for and she has a past and family rules she wants to get away from. These two are absolutely amazing together. Neither of them expected that in finding each other they would find the answers and happiness they had always seemed.
