Oh how I have been waiting for Silas!! We first met him way back in Boomtown, the Freebirds Series that started it all. He was a secondary character and throughout that series he shows up every once in a while. You never really know what it is he does other than being the president of the Dixie Wardens MC. Although throughout not only Freebirds but also the Dixie Wardens Series, as well as the Code-11 KPD SWAT Series you learn more and more about him. We know that he had something to do with the CIA but no one is every really sure. He simply gets stuff done or has information and no one knows how he got it. However the lifestyle he lead and the things he did has lead him to have practically no relationship with his children. He had to walk away from them to protect them and he did willingly but it cost pieces of himself through the years. Now is trying to have a relationship with his grandchildren and just loving his life. 
 While Sawyer has just been released from prison for a crime she didn't really commit. Yes she is guilty but not of all that she spent eight years paying for. She is also resigned to living out her life alone, always having people make remarks about her in the small town she grew up in. She can't leave because she really doesn't have anywhere to go. She is forced to move into an apartment above her twin brother's garage. In a house that he and her best friend (who is now his wife) took over from their parents when it was suppose to be Sawyer's. Everywhere she looks she is reminded of the things she lost and things she will never really have. That is until Silas stands up for her. 
 She's too young for Silas and he tells himself this over and over. However int he end it doesn't matter and what ensues is at times heartbreaking but beautiful as always. I love each and every one of these books and I will tell you that I cried and felt more in this one than all the rest. I felt for Sawyer and the way she felt like things would be better if she wasn't around at times. But also for Silas who, even though he made mistakes, he made them for the right reasons. He made them out of love and I will say that I wanted to punch his ex-wife in the face! She could have changed his son Sam's opinion of Silas at any time yet didn't. Dallas, Sawyer's brother was another I wanted to punch in his face. The way he treated her at times! GAH!! If you haven't read Lani Lynn Vale then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? You need to get on this series right now!!!
