Thou Shalt Be Badass. Tanner Principato is a gruff, surly combat vet who has cobbled together a livelihood flying rescue dogs to forever homes. When Tanner makes good on a promise to Bare Bones MC lawyer Slushy and brings a puppy to a lonely member, he is caught in the middle of a mystery. Tanner’s innate kindness means he volunteers to track down the missing bride of the club’s fentanyl dealer, … fentanyl dealer, Tutti Morgan, the “Walter White of Flagstaff.” Bare Bones territory looks even more inviting to Tanner when he’s paired up with a friend of the vanished newlywed, Unity Mitford.
A rape victim, Unity’s job as spokesmodel for cannabis companies brings her into the limelight with many men. Men she teases. Men she avoids. Terrified of intimacy, Unity has developed a wide array of survival skills to keep men at bay. When she starts working with Tanner, for the first time she questions some of these methods of isolation. Does she really want to resist the dashing, commanding, and carved pilot? He calls her the Queen of Heaven after a Kama Sutra position, and he leaves his mark on her heart.
Their fling—and detective partnership—comes to a grinding halt when Unity finds out what Tanner spent ten years in prison for. She can’t throw her missing friend under the bus, but she will never—never!—waste another minute in the presence of such a vile asshole as Tanner Principato.
Like the injured and abused animals he’s worked with, Tanner knows to proceed slowly with Unity. If terrified by sudden movement, animals can keel over, dead. And Tanner knows that . . . if you’re going to race with the devil, you got to be fast as hell.
Publisher’s Note: This is Book #8 in the Bare Bones MC series. This book is a standalone and can be read out of order, but the series is best read in order to gain the full experience. This is not your mother’s contemporary romance. Daring readers will encounter violence, gun play, and a backstory involving rape, one MM encounter, and a HEA. It is not for the faint of heart. It’s a full-length novel of 66,000 words with no cliffhanger. Recommended 18+ due to mature content and possible triggers.

Race with the Devil is the 8th book in The Bare Bones MC Series. Each of these books can be read as standalone’s and per Layla Wolfe they can be read in any order. You get to know the characters when you read these books in order and they do show up in all the books so if you can it would be best to start at the beginning and work your way through the series. Now there is also a warning because these books are not for the faint of heart or for those that have triggers. Read Layla Wolfe’s warning for more of what the triggers are.
This is Tanner Principato and Unity Mitford’s story. We get to see all the MC members that we have known previously. I know I have said this before but, I love all the names these characters have in this MC.
Tanner is a combat vet that rescues & trains dogs and gives them away to be companion dogs. (He can’t be all bad then right?) Unity was a victim of rape and is a spokesmodel for cannabis companies. When her friend Lavinia Dock goes missing Unity & Tanner get together to find her. But, when Unity finds out that Tanner served time and what he served time for she wouldn’t work with Tanner any longer. But, Tanner works on Unity to break down the walls that she has built up. Oh and while he breaks down those walls there are some hot as h*ll scenes.
I loved this quote from the book:
“if you’re going to race with the devil, you got to be fast as hell.”
You can tell that Layla Wolfe must do a tremendous amount of research for the things that happen in this book. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I loved reading Race with the Devil and I give it 4.5 stars and can’t wait to see what Layla Wolfe comes up with next.
Layla’s use of humor as a healing agent is wonderful. The chemistry kept me on my toes. The bonds formed are strong as forged steel.
Race with the Devil is my first read by Layla Wolfe. It definitely won’t be my last! Tanner and Unity’s story is both heartbreaking and super sexy. The story is well written and the plot is fast paced.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

The good storyline and the great characters grabbed my attention from the very first page and wouldn’t let it go until I finished reading the very last page!
I just love a good MC story which Tanner and Unity story provides. Tanner served ten years in prison for a crime that he did not commit and is a retired military vet. Although the Innocent Project got him out he was left with a mistake on his records. While there he learned how to train animals. Now he flies rescue animals to their forever owners which is how he met Unity. Although there is chemistry between them Unity have walls around her heart from years of pain which is something they both have in common. Can Tanner knock those walls down and rebuild her heart with love?
