The much anticipated follow up to “True North: A Wordsmith Chronicles MC Standalone” comes the rest of James North’s origin story from bestselling author Christopher Harlan.Synopsis:I’ll tell you a secret, Delilah.It doesn’t happen often, but when I doubt myself, I seal my eyes shut. When I do, the blackness inside is replaced by images of you— I see is the silk of your hair, falling gently onto … hair, falling gently onto your shoulder; the way you smile at me when you want to break through the tough exterior I show to the world. At those moments my heart swells and races, and my thoughts replicate themselves until I have more than I know what to do with. They all involve you. They all wear your beauty. They all smell like your skin. And the darkness is chased away.
We’ve been through so much together, but the best and worst is yet to come. You left everything behind to follow me into my world—a world of scoundrels, bikers, killers, and gangsters. We survived together, but I lost a part of myself in the process. With my wounds still healing you offered me solace, offered me peace, offered me an opportunity to be the man I always knew that I could be.
I want to be a Wordsmith—to tell people our story. It’s one for the ages.

What to say about this book is….you totally outdid yourself with this one. I had no idea what I was in for until I get the first chapter and after that I just couldn’t put it down. They way you wrote this book had me laughing, crying and most of all loving this couple. I need to read True North to get the full grasp of them and that is what I plan on doing. Christopher you simply amaze me every time you write another book. I’m hoping that we get another story about them. You know how to get to the point and have us wanting more. Thank you for being the amazing writer that you are. I give it 5+ stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
Christopher Harlan has done it again!!! An amazing read about two characters who most would believe would never work. Delilah and North start on a journey to making North a best selling author. Problem is North has no idea how to accomplish this in his new “normal”life. Reading about their journey is a wonderful reminder of what real relationships are about. No matter what trouble or good times happen along the way, sticking by each other and working through it makes them stronger. Absolutely loved their story and the realness brought to these characters.
Christopher Harlan has done it again with North and has delivered another knockout story that does not disappoint. you will be sucked in from page one. He shows a side of writing that most don’t get to see or know of and how it affects the people around the writer.
I loved this book for two reasons.
First we get to see the inner workings of what an author goes through to write, publish, and get his name out there. Do all experiences go as smoothly or successfully as North’s, probably not but it’s nice to know that they don’t give up otherwise some of my favorites might have quit a long time ago. Special shout out to the mention of that famous (furious) photog “G”. (The non-engagement scene cracked me up.)
Second is the glimpse of North’s life after the MC. I mean we read where the hero rides away from it all for the love of his soulmate but I don’t recall seeing him settle into “ordinary” life. I mean, he now lives in the ‘burbs!?!? He has writer’s block. And he’s seriously questioning who the hell he is. (Once again, ex-MC guy now living off his woman’s earnings so he can pursue being a writer?) Creative way to get him back to feeling like himself while finding the story that is itching to be told. Can’t fully separate a biker from his bike.
But it’s still there. The spark that started it all. The love. The trust. The fights. They both do some evolving and sacrificing but it’s all towards one goal….a lifetime of love and togetherness.
North and Delilah have a love that can carry them thru any storm. They are the definition of Unconditional Love. North shows Delilah a side of him not many people get to see. They not only have an emotional connection but their sexual chemistry is off the charts. I am so glad that Christopher decided to write more of James North.
Thank You for taking us through the life of becoming an author. I love how you were able to intertwine the love story between James and Delilah. Seeing their relationship grow and see how they over come the obstacles within their relationships. This is another perfect book for the grateful readers!!!
Omg! North and delilah! The story is amazing. I love how they support each other and come together throughout the whole story. More like a real couple than others I have read. Beautiful story of north’s beginning as a writer. Love how he did research and gained some connections that started it all.
Christopher did it again! Sometimes you never know what to expect and I really wasnt sure when I started the book but it was great!
The latest novel by Christopher Harlan follows Delilah and North who could not be any more different, but somehow have found that love can and will get you through anything if you both try to understand and accept eachother for who you are and not who you’d want eachother to become.
From the minute that North met Daliliah, there was something about her that allowed to him to be himself: the alpha, tattooed, motorcycle riding man and not a watered down version he thought he had to become just to impress her. She accepted him for who he was and that was the start of their story to finding true love.
Delilah, is a strong, woman who knows what she wants and will not accept anything less; so when she meets North he not only checks all her boxes; but gives her a sense of excitement that only helps solidify what she knows- she has found her match!
Christopher Harlan has always been able to capture the essense of each couple through his unique writing style, North and Deliliah are no exception. The chemistry between these two characters was awesome they fed off eachother from the start and the devotion they had to eachother’s happiness was such a joy to experience. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on Christopher Harlan you will not be sorry. His stories are universal- you are sure to find something that will appeal to you.
