The Pony Express Rides Again… On a motorbike.

Lachlan enjoys living on the edge, and in a war-torn land rife with savagery, life as a Pony Express Rider puts good cash in his pockets and, on occasion, a roof over his head. Any roof will do. Doesn’t have to be his.

Until his path clashes with Adair’s. At the Chlodwig, a ramshackle pub renown for its dance fights and high stakes betting, Lachlan and Adair’s heated argument turns into something far more raw and powerful — something neither of them is prepared for. Something Lachlan’s not sure he can recover from. This time, he’s met his match.

But beyond the cover of the dance fights, Adair belongs to a group of scavengers, thieves who make Pony Express Riders their intended targets. Is Lachlan prepared to risk his loyalty, his job, and everything he thinks he’s earned — for a werewolf?

Set in a futuristic world, Lachlan is more than a little crazy not only to take the most dangerous jobs but also to become obsessed with an incredibly sexy werewolf with whom he’s had the most mind-blowing sex of his life. Everyone he knows tells him it’s a bad idea to seek out his rough lover, yet Lachlan can’t help himself once he’s had a taste of what Adair has given him.

This is a graphic and compelling story that is definitely not your typical romance. Set in the backdrop of futuristic America where gangs of scavengers are out roaming the streets to attack, rob, and steal anything that makes a living, Lachlan is a bike messenger for the Pony Express. Except they use motorcycles held together by duct tape and happy thoughts rather than expensive and stylized equipment. During a highly dangerous run through Washington D.C, Lachlan stops quickly to fill his whiskey flask before moving on but finds himself mesmerized by the silver eyed leader of a scavenger gang. Their altercation leads to rough and gritty sex in a darkened alley, an encounter that burns into the minds of both men.

Lachlan, for all his begging during sex, is a strong willed, slightly crazy but intelligent man. Stupid men don’t last long as messengers but only those with wits, skill, and more courage than brains seem to flourish. Men who want a healthy, supple penis should cheap viagra respitecaresa.org look for products that contain a penis-specific blend of nutrients, as well as natural moisturizers that can soothe and protect the delicate penile tissue. Ironically, this study yielded similarities in beliefs related to OCD, depression viagra tablets in italia and anxiety. This also works in the same that the branded or prescribed drug is working viagra 25mg online for the exact disease. generic viagra canadian CoQ-10 is depleted by stress and its production is prevented, no more thinning of hair takes place. His encounter with Adair, while graphic and boarding on violent is seared into his brain and leaves him wanting more, beyond all reason. He takes out of characters risks to see Adair again, shrugging off the very real danger to them both to seek out the indefinable connection and undeniable chemistry between the two men.

Adair is a strong top and leader of his pack. His personality fairly oozes confidence yet he has the eloquence and ability to dance and dance well as demonstrated in the unique twist of the Dance Wars amongst various crews. Even as he’s expected to kill Lachlan each time he sees the biker, Adair can’t bring himself to do it. He is unquestionably almost cruel of his treatment of Lachlan and their sex is visceral and graphic, yet there are glimpses of emotion that shine through in a touch, a brief look, a sound hinting at deeper emotion neither man is ready to claim just yet.

Although this isn’t a sweet and flowery romance, there is no question the sex is more than scratching an itch for Lachlan and Adair. Their dynamic and rough encounters are the perfect setting for two strong men within the violent and turbulent backdrop of their world. The excellent writing and truly smoking hot sex scenes make this a book I was unable to put down. The pacing was quick and easy, flowing very well from scene to scene with great characters. This isn’t the type of book to appeal to everyone with it’s hard hitting setting and men, but for those that like this genre, you’ll be sure to love this book as much as I did. I eagerly await the next books in the series and can’t wait to see how Lachlan and Adair’s relationship progresses.
