One of the biggest reasons I love this author's work is how much heart she puts in her stories. She has no problem tackling heavy subjects and making these characters easy to relate to even if I've never experienced anything they have. I fall hard for them every time.

Trunk (Titus) is such a hardened hero. He's dealt with so much from the time he was a small child that by the time he's an adult, he's got a big old chip on his shoulder. You would think that would make him hard to like. Trunk is ac ...more

*I liked the secondary characters especially the h's mom and baby son. So much cute!

*The romance was nice once things got rolling. And it was very safe.

What I didn't like:
*The H and h hopped into bed way to quickly for my taste. They had been aware of each other for a year but had barely spoken and the H only glared and grunted at the h since he was in denial of his feelings. It didn't allow the romance to build, it was too fast.

*Which brings me to my next point. Early in the story the H is furious that the h didn't tell him about something bad going on with her. He yells, says mean things, tells her it's over and storms out of her house. (This after they had already slept together). This was so annoying to me because honestly, these two barely even know each other. Why should she trust him with her deep, dark troubles when they spend more time in bed than out? If they'd had time to build up some trust and define their relationship his reaction might have been justified. I hate this type of drama when it feels unearned by the author.

*The plot involving the MC and the white supremacist group was predictable and boring to me. I knew who the mole was from the moment that character was introduced and spent the rest of the book wondering why the rest of those dummies didn't open their eyes.

All in all, this was a nice read. It was free on KU so I lost nothing. But I'm not sure I would read it again, and I'm not sure if I want to continue the series.

I heart this author big time! And I loved these characters!! It's refreshing to read about mature adults being in relationships and not being dickheads. There's none of that unnecessary drama-for-the-sake-of-drama bullshit, and I love that when this hero is all in, he's all in!

This was so well written, and I just loved Trunk and Jaimie. They were so good for each other, and the family they created made me smile huge 😁

When Jaimie and Trunk come together at first, they barely connect. They've both got baggage. She in the form of distrust of men and being a single mom, and he because of his past. He comes across as grumpy and monosyllabic, and she comes across as almost too tough, at first. But once they start letting each other in, it's as if the walls come tumbling down and their true natures shine through.

I was so excited to read Trunk’s story and Ms. Barker did not disappoint.

description

Trunk is broody and a bit standoffish, especially when it comes to Jaimie. But when he lets himself take a chance with her, he falls fast and hard. With a strong protective instinct, he often makes decisions before discussing them with her and they have a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to manage this issue.

Jaimie is a strong independent heroine but she’s also got scars from the way her ex treated her. She doesn’t ...more

Once again, Ms. Barker proves herself to be the master at building characters that are so real and so vivid, they seem to step off the page. Trunk is all you want in a romance hero -the hardened tough guy with the soul of a knight. The story is gripping, raw, real, and threaded with beauty. Simply wonderful.

DNF. The story dragged and was dry. No gut.
It felt as if there were more scenes with the couple apart than together.
I was unable to connect.
Great premise, poor execution.
There are too many other books I want to read and my time is precious. I gave this one many chances.
So much explanation about every secondary character that it took away from the hero and heroine. Let’s stick to the MCs and then worry about the secondary characters.

Freya Barker is a relatively new author to me. As with the other books I have read, this one was well written, with strong characters that you cannot help but become invested in and are easy to relate too.

Trunk (Titus) Rae has had a hard life but there is so much more to him than what is on the outside. He appears as tough as nails hard, and at times almost rude and abrupt. But underneath it all is a man who has been hurt, a man w ...more

4.5 stars

Jamie and Trunk were first introduced in Tracking Tahlula (part of the On Call series) and I was immediately wondering when their story would be coming our way. Fortunately we didn't have long to wait! Do not feel that you need to read Tahlula's story first as Trunk and Jamie's backstories are explained in Edge of Reason- but I will certainly recommend it if you haven't already read it ;-)

Jamie was too trusting once and it brought her nothing but misery... well almost nothing. She has 1 4.5 stars

Jamie and Trunk were first introduced in Tracking Tahlula (part of the On Call series) and I was immediately wondering when their story would be coming our way. Fortunately we didn't have long to wait! Do not feel that you need to read Tahlula's story first as Trunk and Jamie's backstories are explained in Edge of Reason- but I will certainly recommend it if you haven't already read it ;-)

Jamie was too trusting once and it brought her nothing but misery... well almost nothing. She has 1 yr old River who is the light of her life. But now she is a bit jaded and cynical, and Lord help the person who insinuates she needs help. She is independent to a fault but she doesn't take it to the extreme. She is quick to realize when others are just trying to help her and doesn't unreasonably hold onto a moment of irritation. Tahlula has turned into an unexpected friend who has given her a fresh start, and her brother Titus aka Trunk is one hot but infuriating part of her new life.

Trunk learned early in life the harsh reality of race relations and spent time on the streets. His only true family was his half sister Tahlula who he became a father figure for. He has a serious chip on his shoulder and his communication generally ranges from grunts to monosyllabic answers, but the beautiful Jamie throws him off his game. Normally he is fine with the occasional female companionship to scratch an itch, but for some reason Jamie has grabbed his attention and he can't get this woman out if his mind after the few brief interactions they have had. Beneath the hard exterior he is a big ol' softie especially when it comes to kids. He uses his background in psychology to help the runaways and homeless kids that the MC takes in off the streets and puts his own experiences to use in the process. Distractions don't fit into his life especially with the seemingly constant problems cropping up for the club, and he becomes the king of mixed signals as he fights his attraction. Cue the fireworks folks!

River is an adorable little scene stealer, and as a baby he is blessed with ignorance of adult prejudice when it comes to skin color. Unfortunately Jamie and Trunk face their fair share of stupid people, especially when it comes to her ex-husband and his band of white supremacists. These challenges were addressed so very well and I loved it. So many sweet moments between River and Trunk had me melting into a big ol' puddle!

Edge of Reason features a lot of familiar faces with wonderful interactions between all the characters that had me hooked from start to finish. The new challenges being faced by Arrow's Edge were interwoven seamlessly with Jamie's past and Tahlula's recent experiences to tie them all together. Once again Ms. Barker has provided us with another amazing heartwarming story with everything I have come to expect in a great romantic suspense read!

For a new Barker reader, you will be able to read along and understand the MC without feeling lost, but I bet you will be loo Yay... The Arrow's Edge MC is getting a series..... I am so excited. For a seasoned Barker reader, we have had a few peeks at this great group of men, who have turned their club into a legal entity who thrived on the feeling of family and brotherhood that an MC provided to wandering souls. But they have added another depth by helping troubled boys find a respectable path. For a new Barker reader, you will be able to read along and understand the MC without feeling lost, but I bet you will be looking back for those books that involve these folks to get the full story.

Trunk (Titus) is a big broody black man, who on the outside has a mountain sized chip on his shoulder, but on this inside is a big old teddy bear. Growing up with a single mother who was taken way to early by the reality of drugs, he was thrown into a parental roll, helping to guide his little sister on the right path. Working hard and becoming a successful child psychologist. Relationships of the heart haven't really had space in his life but for some reason he is drawn to this beautiful blonde spitfire.

Jamie is struggling a bit with starting over after the recent discoveries of her ex-husband and his ties to horrible racist groups. The horrible things that he did to her friend and boss. But she is nothing if not determined. Raising her little boy on her own in a new town with new friends helping her along the way. Jamie has proven to be a strong loving woman with an open mind. She has been watching the broody black man from afar, not ready for a new relationship just yet.

Ms. Barker has a special knack for weaving a story full of mystery & suspense that keeps you tied to your chair reading, unexpected romantic relationships that come from mature characters who understand life is too short, and strong flawed characters that will bore into your heart. She has done all of the above with this book while added the seriousness of biracial relationships and the troubles they face.

I can't wait for more Arrow's Edge and second changes.

There are some instances of racial violence described in this book, though not in visceral and emotional detail, but more a reciting of the facts. One of these instances was violence on a child. If these subject matters are triggering for you, then you may wish to skip this book. As I am not a person of colour I can’t say how well these issues are handled from that perspective either. However, it is my belief that the author put a lot of care into how it was handled and the matter of race was discussed thoughtfully. If you have a different point of view after reading this book, I am always grateful to hear from people who have different experiences of life than I do.

Though this is set in an MC, it is not a 1%er club. They have legitimate businesses and also provide housing, care and support for teenage boys. In order to provide that support they hired Trunk, a child psychologist, and when he got hired he joined the MC. The president or ‘Chief’ as they call him, is married to an FBI agent. This gives you some information on the type of characters we are dealing with here. Whilst I like a good MC book, I really don’t like it when the so called good guys are pretty bad so this is the kind of information I like before going into a book. (You’re welcome 😉)

Trunk is a 44 year old black man, who had a pretty hard childhood. He was a street kid for a while and his mother was a junkie. He basically raised his sister, despite being a child himself. He dragged himself out of poverty by getting to college and helped his sister do the same. Because of his experiences he is often able to reach kids that are more closed off. He’s pretty self contained and comes across as a bit gruff and tends to live in the moment. However, he adores his sister and her new baby.

Trunk’s sister is a writer and her PA is Jaime. Jaime is a 38 year old white woman and has a 6 month old son. Her ex-husband is in prison after it was discovered he was a white supremacist who planned to do very bad things. Jaime is definitely NOT a racist and was surprised to hear her husband was as he managed to hide it well.

Jaime and Trunk are very attracted to each other but neither really wants to act on it for various reasons. Obviously they finally get their act together after a few false starts, but it is a gradual build up, which is always fun.

The book has a lot of interesting plot twists and I was kept on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next, and alongside that there was the sweet love story and the gentle relationship between Trunk and River, Jaime’s son as contrast.

I really liked that this was an MC book about people who weren’t in their twenties. The characters have lead interesting lives and had experiences that have altered them. I liked that Trunk was aware of his flaws and addressed them head on and tried to work on them to protect his relationship. They had arguments as they are both strong willed and independent people but those disagreements were handled well.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it will not be the last. I will definitely be downloading the next book in this series. ...more

Nothing like a great book with a strong, growling bear of a man being tamed by a spitfire of a strong woman. Yes she can totally manage everything by herself but when you can manage it along side someone like Titus Maximus Rae “Trunk”, you can take on the world.

Edge of Reason is that book for me. I've loved everything I've read by Ms. Barker and I get super excited when she starts a new series. Edge of Reason is the first book in her new Arrow's Edge MC series. The reader has seen several of the members in some of her other books and I cannot wait to see who gets their stories. Trunk, the hero of this book, was introduced as Tahlulah's overprotective brother in Ms. Barker's Tracking Tahlulah in her On Call series.
Trunk (Titus) is a complex character with a lot of backstory. The son of a drug addicted mother, he was forced to care for his younger sister after their mother's death. He knew the value of an education and made sure both he and his sister could make their way out of their humble beginnings. As a child psychologist fed up with the system, he jumps at the chance to follow his sister to Durango and sign on as the child psychologist for the Arrow's Edge MC, who helps at risk boys. The move allows him to join an MC with legitimate businesses, help children, be close to his sister and niece, and in an unexpected turn, follow up on a spark he felt with Tahlula's assistant, Jaime.
Jaime's had a rough go after finding her sleezeball ex was a member of a racist group targeting her boss. Even though he's in jail, she's still dealing with the aftereffects. With a small son and a full-time job, she has little time for herself. Still, her boss's brooding brother gets her heart pounding whenever they are in the same room. Both Trunk and Jaime try to fight the attraction, but when things start going wrong at the MC and Jaime appears to be at risk, the overprotective alpha goes into overdrive.
In the style that Ms. Barker has perfected, she hones a story of intrigue, danger, passion, loyalty, and love. I love that her characters are mature and realize tomorrow isn't always guaranteed and they grab life by the horns and go after their HEAs. The plot moves along, the issues Ms. Barker brings to light are timely and often in the news, and the writing is on point. Ms. Barker's characters grab the reader from page one and hang on long after the last page. I highly recommend grabbing this first book in her new series and settle in for the emotionally pack ride Ms. Barker takes you on. ...more

Whoa, and that’s the problem in general (and the theme of this book.). Why aren't people able to look someone in the eyes and not at the color of their skin. Racism has many faces but none is good.
Trunk is a psychologist for kids and Jaimie the agent for Talula Rea. I loved that all the folks from Call on duty (Operation alpha) were here in Durango again. I really looked forward to this book because I don't think I'll ever get enough of Freya's writing.
Freya Barkers Themes are so real and scary for real life, because it happens every day. Also are her characters so close to real living that every new book feels like coming home to Durango again. I couldn't stop myself from reading. This one is more suspenseful and because of the kids more scary.

This is very worth a read.

Dieses Buch hat fast einen Ehekrach verursacht. Ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen und der Haushalt war mir so was von völlig schnuppe. Jetzt ist das Buch ausgelesen und Männe wieder besänftigt. Gott sei Dank.
Ich habe lange nach einem Wort gesucht und keins gefunden was mich sehr traurig gemacht hat. Denn die Bezeichnung Interracial finde ich zum würgen. Warum sind die Menschen nicht in der Lage ihren Mitmenschen in die Augen zu schauen und nicht auf die Hautfarbe etc. Rassismus hat viele Gesichter, aber keines davon ist schön.
Trunk ist Kinderpsychologe und Jaimie Talulas Agentin. Ich liebe es; dass in jedem Buch alle Freunde der On Call Serie auftauchen, das fühlt sich jedes mal wieder an wie nach Hause kommen.
Ich werde nie genug bekommen von Freyas Schreibstil und ihren Protagonisten. Sie ist so dicht dran am echten Leben an echten Problemen. Wobei ich dieses Buch als nicht so leichtgängig empfunden habe , wie alle anderen, da es hier in Teilen um Kinder ging, die Schlimmes erlebt haben.

Oh Leute dieses Buch ist es absolut wert gelesen zu werden.
