Faya – My eyes close and I brace for the pain. Except it doesn’t come. It always comes. Wait for it my mind tells me, making me brace some more. I hate waiting for it, when that happens it’s always so much worse.Crane – The job was to prevent her from testifying. I’ve already been paid because my ass isn’t moving before the cash is in place.That’s right, I have a spotless reputation. A hitman who … place.
That’s right, I have a spotless reputation. A hitman who gets the job done. Any job, any time. Once I’ve given my word, and the cash is exchanged, it’s a done deal. No matter the consequences or obstacles, I will get it done. Something that the woman strapped to my back will find out firsthand.

This is the first one of the new MC series and I loved it 🙂 Crane is a nomad biker and an hired hit-man, so at first it gave me a pause moment because he was rough at first with Faye in their first encounter but that changed drastically when he started taking care of her and realized pretty quickly that she was his and the perfect woman made for him 🙂
Faye is a strong young woman, she’s been through tough times growing up, going from foster home to foster home and being abused by them made her toughen up and develop a hard shell. So imagine when her life drastically changes when she becomes the only and primary witness to her room-mate’s murder and a hit is placed for her death. Luckily, it was Crane that was assigned and this led them to each other’s lives and Faye getting her man and protector, Crane 🙂
These two have insane chemistry and the sexy times 😉 are boiling hot c(: Loved how Crane was with Faye after realizing what she was becoming for him and how he didn’t care who he had to go against for, to protect and keep his old lady, Faye <3
Can't wait for Ronin's story and who's the lucky lady to tame him 😉
Read in August 2017
First book in a new short story series, it kicks off with action. It might only be short but you still fall in love with these characters, I especially loved how Crane quickly realises that Faya has had a tough life and been abused during it. He quickly starts protecting her from all but himself instead of killing her to shut her up. She soon starts to realise that Crane has a good side and that side is all hers. Great story it might be short but has plenty packed in to make it worth reading, I for one cant wait for more.
Just when I think I have read most everything by this author, I find this little gem! A quick, HOT, rough AF read that had me turning the pages so fast!
Faya is just a job to Crane but quickly becomes so much more, holy crap, I think I have whiplash! I am off to click the others in this series!
This book is short but so, so good. It doesn’t feel rushed or that everything happens to quick. Yes it is short but well worth the money. Everything makes sense and is set out really well. A really great MC book that packs a punch and keeps the book in your hands until you finish it. It’s so good that I bought book 2 and started it straight away.
I admit it, I tease and torment Esther about when is the next book coming? Feed my addiction I tell her! I’ve read all the books! I.WANT.MORE! She is so patient with my demands and general lunacy and reminds me oh so gently (sarcasm, yeah?) there are some work to be done before she can release another. HA! I’m starting to think she secretly is holding out on us! She whips out this quickie on us and keeps us on the hook! Does she not realize this just will get me to bug her even more? Come on now, I know I’m not the only one! #EliteFanGirlFreaksUnite
With all that humor and teasing aside, onto my review! If you’re a fanatic of her work like a good portion of us you know she is a master storyteller when it comes to her insta love books, dark romance, and MC books. But when she throws all three into one, it’s a shock! OH man but what a good shock!
Crane lives by the code of the brotherhood, even though he’s a bit of a nomad. He fights for them, he fights for himself, he does his job well and he plays by his own rules. Those rules can be changed at any moment and they do in the moment he meets Faya. She’s a mark he’s supposed to take out so she won’t testify. But he’s drawn to her and there’s something about her that makes him change more than just those rules.
Faya has lived a life on the wrong side. She knows that eventually everything catches up to you. She’s a fighter though and she’ll fight until she has nothing left in her. She meets Crane and accepts her fate. But what is her fate with him? What does she do now and how does she choose to fight?
This is a super quickie full of angst, dark and dirty reality and the best kind of insta love….raw and hot! Esther never fails to impress me with her abilities to spin a good story. She’s an author you need to catch up with and watch for!
This is a short and fast paced read. You will feel like the book just started when you finish it.
Faya is the product of the foster system. Hard core and know what she wants, but she is on the run as she witnessed a mobster murder her roommate. How can she out run the mob? Will she ever be safe?
Crane is a nomad biker who takes jobs and travels the country. He is given the job to take care of a witness. Once he tracks the witness down he ends up taking her home to figure things out.
Can Faya figure out how to be an Old Lady?
Can Crane protect what is his?
All I got to say is WOW!!!! Anything Esther writes is amazing. And Crane’s story was amazong, I could not put it down. You realy need to check read this book and all of Esther’s books.
I love Esther’s books, but this was not one of my favorites. Wasn’t expecting this type of biker being what he was even though it turned out alright in the end for Crane and his mark. Savage love and violence, as espected sometimes with MC’s. I read this book as an ARC for an honest review.
Talk about a book that will get you hooked. I can see myself getting completely addicted to this series by Esther for sure. I am dying to get my hands on the next in this series. Although this book was short it had it all and in no way did I feel as if it was rushed. We all know that most of the MC men we read about know when the woman they meet is their Ol’ Lady so why waste all the time debating it. Esther was able to give us a book that had not only some hot scenes in it but you get some action and suspense as well. Crane and Faya are a perfect couple and I truly enjoyed reading their story.
