Sometimes in the darkest of moments light breaks through.Cobra once wore the Steel Devils MC patch and his territory was Montana. Now his bottom rocker reads Nomad. Cobra used to be the Enforcer in the Steel Devils MC, and his reputation for ruthlessness was well earned. After doing a stint in the penitentiary, he opted out of the MC life, and hit the open road. Still a biker and an outlaw, he … biker and an outlaw, he goes where the road takes him. He hooks up with women for a while then when the restlessness sets in, he kisses them goodbye and is gone in the blink of an eye.
He doesn’t want anything or anyone crimping his style. He came from a background that taught him to trust no one and that loving anyone causes pain.
Yeah … he’s just fine on his own.
Then Dakota crashes into his life and turns it upside down.
The girl’s trouble.
She’s got a ton of baggage.
And she’s driving him crazy with desire.
Dakota has demons inside her that no one can chase away. The last thing she wants is a man in her life. Men only want to use and abuse women and she’s had her fill of them.
But then she meets Cobra, and even though her logic tells her he’s a dangerous and ruthless outlaw, her body wants him in the worst way.
As she gets to know him, a side of him comes out that Dakota doubts anyone has seen.
And just when she puts her guard down and trusts him, her world comes crashing down on her.
Can Cobra soothe the demons inside Dakota, and can she teach Cobra to let someone into his solitary life?

Cobra has his own reasons for becoming a Nomad, and when he finds Dakota broken down at the side of a deserted road, he just wants to protect her. Dakota has a heartbreaking past, and when the past comes closer, she moves to another town. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written story which is intense, raw, gritty, steamy, and with relatable characters who have explosive chemistry between them. I was hooked and intrigued throughout, and cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all MC lovers!
Another great book by this author. Dakota is a tattoo artist that is running for the past. Cobra was an enforcer for the Steel Devils MC but when he was released from jail, he decided to go Nomad. Cobra helps Dakota out of a dangerous situation and from there they continue to be drawn to each other. I was hooked from the very first page and cannot wait to read more from this awesome MC author.
Chiah Wilder knows how to write biker romance. She keeps it real and gritty. I am loving the Nomad Biker Series. Cobra is Nomad, nothing but open road and going where it takes him. Dakota is running. These two collide, and everything changes.
I think this is the best biker romance I have read in months. I hovered between 4.5 but went with the full 5 stars. Cobra went Nomad after he got out of prison and decided he wanted a different kind of life than the violence he lived each day as a regular club member. He had a dysfunctional childhood and didn’t believe in love. He had many women in his life but he hit the road when “love” came into the picture. He’s one of those really nice guys that likes to help people. Dakota is on the run from an abusive/stalker ex-boyfriend and meets Cobra when her car breaks down. Cobra rescues her from many situations and gives her a place to stay. This one isn’t insta-love. In fact it’s a slow burn. Great writing, great characters and a story that grabbed me and pulled me in. This is the best book I’ve read by this author. It can be read as a standalone
I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Wilder’s books. I have read every one of them since Hawk’s story. They are action packed, filled with humor and heat. An alpha Male and a sassy lady. Cobra and Dakota are no different. Cobra saves Dakota from some bad choices and men. She saves him from himself. A real page turner.
Let start off by saying that we are really enjoying this series as well as this on going series.We really enjoyed this current story it was heart felt and suspenseful and had a cast of amazing characters and two people who were drifting through life and found love in the arms of their perfect mate.
We always pick a favorite character and mine this time around wound be Cobra he was my favorite he was really a bit of a knight and shining armor.Cobra was full of kindness and compassion and understanding a far cry from what his reputation states but, in this story a little slip of a girl managed to get beneath his Armour and experience a whole different side of him that he does not let other see.We loved the possessive and protective bada** biker who screamed danger most of the time who is surround with a dark aura could be capable of such tender feelings “just melted my heart.”
Dakota was a little firecracker who for someone so young had some really tough breaks but, she was a survivor who rose above it all and it just made her stronger.We loved the little fierce and independent women who had a bit of a temper from the onset of the story as she was just one of those characters easy to love and one that was so brave.
Overall we loved the story from cover to cover it was steamy and had hot sexy scenes and was filled with suspense and club drama and also had a really lovely love story where two people who through friendship and trust fell in love when neither was looking.”The perfect mix of of the things we love in a story.”
This goes into the keeper pile to be read time and time again.
Recommended read to all !
This book was amazing. It had everything from sweet to retribution to hotness.
I couldn’t put it down. I loved Cobra and Dakota, they bounced off each other.
I can’t wait for more.
I am a huge Chiah Wilder fan. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book.
Cobra has his reasons for being a Nomad. He still has ties to the MC but doesn’t want to be tied down to anything. He can come and go as he pleases, no roots, no ties.
Dakota is a tattoo artist who is trying to get away from her past. But that past soon catches up to her and shes on the run again. She doesn’t trust people and certainly not this rough and tough, sexy biker.
Will Dakota finally make Cobra decide to give up his Nomad life? Can these two help each other outrun their past or will the past be what breaks them completely?
Retribution by Chiah Wilder is a part of the author’s new Nomad Biker series. In this book we are following the ex-enforcer for the Steel Devils, Cobra. He has made a change to his life after certain events and has gone nomad. This means he is still affiliated with the Steel Devils and can be called upon to help out but he does not keep a permanent place with any chapter in the club. Cobra likes the isolation of the nomad life, he can come and go as he pleases, not roots, no ties, life on the open road to keep his head clear.
He crosses path with Dakota when her car finally decides to crap out on her and offers to give her a ride into town. Being a huge, intimidating figure Dakota is instantly wary and when an alternative ride makes it appearance she decides to accept that offer instead. That was a Big Mistake!!
You should never judge a book by its cover, which Dakota learns in the not too distant future, when Cobra must come to her rescue. Forced together by fate, a deep connection neither can explain burns between them. The chemistry is off the charts HOTT!! There are some hair and scary moments that will make you clench. Be prepared for the wind to be knocked out of you in this fast paced ever changing dynamic story filled with intense sexual attraction and the essential drama that comes from living the outlaw MC lifestyle.
Chiah does not disappoint. If you loved the Insurgents and the Nights Rebels you will fall I love with the Nomads!!
This is a fast paced well written MC romance. The characters are rough, tough yet endearing. The storyline and the characters will take you one a wild and emotional ride.
Cobra is a hard hitting, no sugar coating force to be reckoned with and the former enforcer for the Steel Devils MC. After a stint in prison he’s now a nomad under the Steel Devils. Cobra is a hard man that doesn’t believe in long term relationships or being tied down. He’d rather travel the roads on his bike and live a free lifestyle.
Having gone through a traumatic experience, Dakota took off from her hometown as soon as she could get away. She is now a tattoo artist. But when her past catches up to her, she takes off again, only to find herself in another bout of trouble. Lucky for her Cobra is there to help. Being a type of white knight, he can’t stand to see a woman being hurt. But Dakota doesn’t trust people and she surely doesn’t trust this huge, sexy tough biker. But as troubles follow she has a decision to make: is Cobra the only one that can help her?
This is a very emotional, heartbreaking/heartwarming story that will keep you flipping the pages. If you like MC action and men who protect and cherish was is theirs, you will love Retribution. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
Cobra was a member of the Steel Devils MC but when he went to jail and was released, he decided to go NOMAD. Dakota is running from her past. Her luck has been horrible and it’s only about to get worse. She gets drugged and almost attacked until Cobra saves her. He takes care of her but has no intention of getting close to her. But the more time he spends with her, the harder he falls. Will her past tear them apart or bring them closer together?
Sex, bikers, action, and adult language. These bikers keep their town in order and protect women. Loved this story and thought Cobra could be pretty dang romantic when he wanted to be.
Cobra & Dakota were smoking hot together! This story was hot, sexy and had enough suspense to keep my pages turing! It was easy to love these two. There were emotions at play that were clear to see and so easy to fall into. The turmoil of trying to decide for Dakota was beautifully done.
Retribution is a MC story about Cobra- a nomad who roams and never stays in one place for a long time. Dakota’s on the run from a past catching up with her but she’s not your normal damsel in distress. She’s independent and as hard headed as Cobra. Something he finds out soon enough. Well written characters with intense chemistry. Hooked from the start. Loved it!!! I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from the author.
4 stars
Retribution is an exciting nomad novel as a spin-off from Wilder’s Steel Devil’s MC series and it was delicious!
Dakota’s life is breaking down, just like her car. She’s desperately trying to start over as far away from her past, and the creepy guy in it, as possible. Unfortunately for her, she’s a magnet for trouble. Stranded beside her broken down car, in the middle of nowhere, she’s at a crossroads. When a sexy but scary biker offers to help, she can’t decide what to do; does she take a chance on him or simply take her chances with everything else?
Cobra loves the nomad life and he’s got plenty of reason too. After a pretty serious wake up call, he walked away from his life as the enforcer for the Steel Devils and lives life on his own terms. He misses the brotherhood but he can pop in when he likes and pop right back put again. Never one to be tied down, he’s not even sure he believes love exists for a guy like him. But there’s something about the pretty damsel in distress he found out on the highway. Even with her prickly nature and mistrustful eyes, he’s drawn to her. His plan is to help her out and then put her behind him. But as time wears on, he realizes this is one time he might not be able to walk away.
Fantastic book where two wounded souls find each other. Growly, alpha biker with a fierce protective streak and an even bigger heart and a kick ass, funny girl intent on making her own way. Loved everything about this book!

There’s a reason Cobra is a nomad. He still has connections to the MC and his brothers. He just doesn’t want to stay in one place anymore. That connection presents itself when he spots a girl who rejected a ride from him after her car broke down. Seeing her again in a jam with the clean-cut guys who did give her a ride, he steps in to save the day and the girl.
Dakota had to leave. She couldn’t deal anymore. Wouldn’t you know her beater would breakdown twenty miles from anywhere. She didn’t trust guys with good reason. Despite her caution, she was in trouble and woke up in a cheap hotel room with the biker she’d rejected the ride from earlier. As her mind cleared she realized that old saying about a book and cover were true.
While Cobra was gorgeous and hot as sin, she didn’t trust him. Could he prove he was trustworthy? He may have done a lot of things as a member of the club but force a woman wasn’t and would never be one of them.
He didn’t do relationships and why he had gone this far without bailing was a mystery. He had business with his club. Business that could bring a lot of trouble.
Watching Cobra and Dakota learn to trust and love was a great read. The bad guys were nasty pieces would they keep the couple apart? The story was hot, emotional, and one I put on my re-read list. Don’t miss this one. It has plenty of steam, club loyalty, and unforgettable characters.
Cobra an ex-enforcer for the Steel Devils MC and now a nomad meets Dakota Krueger in an unfortunate situation and things get sticky for her after she makes a massive mistake.
Although there are some extremely serious topics explored in this book and they are explored well, there is a light humour that takes you by surprise and really makes you laugh out loud. One example is the consultation with Tawny, a customer who wanted a very unusual tattoo, this took me completely unawares.
The chemistry between the lead characters Dakota and Cobra is intense and red hot! However they are much more than physically attracted to each other, they develop a deep respect and care for each other and bring the best out in each other.
Some excellent descriptions help to make it easy to visualise each scene, even the more graphic ones, in this fast paced, easy-to-read story. Great characters add to its charm as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author..
Chiah Wilder has delivered yet another hot AF Biker for us to fall in love with in the shape of Cobra.
Cobra used to be the Enforcer for the Steel Devils MC before he decided to go Nomad. Whilst on the road heading back towards the Steel Devils he meets Dakota on the side of the road. Soon as he meets her she sparks this protective instinct in him.
Even thought their romance is a slow burn, with their friendship building up first, the sexual chemistry between them is palpable until they finally give into their attraction.
Of course in true MC fashion there are some dangers lurking that Cobra needs his brothers to help him with but you will be kept on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens.
Can’t wait to see what Chiah brings us next in this series.
This was an amazing love story. Cobra was the perfect match for Dakota. Deep down he was such a kind, caring and protective guy. He seemed to only dole out violence when the punishment was truly deserving. Dakota wasn’t use to sharing her burdens and problems with anyone. She took so much on herself, that her anxiety attacks were out of control. I truly enjoyed watching their relationship grow and flurish. Cobra’s MC was the extended family we all wish for that has our backs when needed. The plot had enough action and excitement to keep my interest until the last page. Thanks Ms. Wilder for a beautiful book and I look forward to the next one. I received this book as an ARC in return for a honest review.
Wow just Wow!!!!
This was a fast paced read that had me turning pages at a rapid speed.
Chiah Wilder definitely has a hit with this book. It had it all love, drama, chemistry, and undeniable passion. The connection between Cobra and Dakota was off the charts steamy.
We all travel different paths in life and sometimes just by chance our paths cross with the one person we were meant to find.
Some will read this book and think that Cobra saved Dakota but, I think Dakota saved Cobra as well.
This is a story of two people searching for something they didn’t even know they wanted. Two people who have lived through bad times and come out of it better for it. It is also the story of two people finding true love in the most unexpected place. With the most unexpected person.
I am loving Chiah Wilder’s nomad biker romance series. Dakota and Cobra were so hot and their relationship was well developed. Cobra still had an affiliation with his MC and Dakota was running from her past. In each other they found what they weren’t looking for but what they actually needed. It was so nice seeing their attraction develop into actual feelings and seeing Cobra’s protectiveness over her come out.
