This is the second book in the Outlaw Souls MC series and it’s one heck of a ride. These two character could not be more opposite if they tried, Pin and Claire will keep you engrossed from the start.

Claire is working a case of missing children, it’s not her usual fodder of cheating spouses. She originally met Pin the Outlaw Souls MC accountant when working her previous case and from what she has experienced in her line of work and what she has witnessed she doesn’t believe in love any longer but what she’s is is insanely attracted to Pin, however it now looks like the club is directly involved with in the case she is now working and being with Pin gives her an in to investigate up close and personal within the club. Can she discover the truth or has she signed her own death warrant and will Pin forgive her when all is said and done.

Pin doesn’t believe in love, after watching his mum be destroyed by relationship after relationship and the one time he gave Love a try in high school it shattered him in a way he knew had frozen his heart forever.when he met Claire originally he was attracted to the woman and thought they could have something but when he discovers Claire’s secret he walks away thinking she’s used him for what she could use against his club. But when he finds out she is in danger can he forgive her in time to save her and when all is said and done could he really let himself love her?

This book was a fast paced, engaging danger filled read with heat and suspense that will keep you turning that page. A fantastic read and can only see this author getting better and better with each book. 4.5 * read. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Book 2 in the Outlaw Souls series. This book will pull you in from page one and won’t let you go until the very end. Claire and Pin had such an intense attraction and chemistry for 2 people who don’t believe in love. This all changes when they start spending more time together. Loved their story and how they were able to work through their issues about love and find their HEA. Can’t wait to read more from the Outlaw Souls MC.

A fun yet scary (as it relates to Claire's assignment) read. Gabriel "Pin" gets more than he bargained for when Claire is thrust into his life. She may have ulterior motives but their chemistry is fantastic. Things go topsy turvy as truths and lies / omissions come to light but the HEA is sweet and fitting. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A fast paced read with secrets, deception, action, bubbling hope and love.

eBook copy received for a honest review.

Pin & Claire's story was phenomenal! Worth it.

Pin is the accountant of outlaw souls, with past deception & seeing his mom's mistakes, he's sworn of love. Clair's a PI who largely works on cheating husband cases, so her PoV on love isn't great either.

These two met in the bar, where she was trailing her latest case. Claire soon came clean, Kim (hard girl, the Case's interest. She's great!) & Pin helped in gathering evidence.
Claire & Pin had chemistry from the start, so they indulge into it, after the case ended. Celebratory sorts.

They've been on eachother's mind, but It'd been a one time thing, if it weren't for Claire getting a bigger case. Missing children. Suspects? Bikers. Outlaw souls.

Now she used Pin to gather Intel. I won't say it wasn't wrong as it was, but she wasn't faking her feelings. Through Talks, snuggles and a MC barbecue, she knew Outlaw's weren't the criminal.
She also really liked pin, was falling for him & was soon feeling guilty for using him. There, he was rethinking his own rule to remain casual. Knew he was falling for her.
She made decision to tell him all..

But he *accidentally* found out. & Reacted Badly. He was angry, feeling betrayed. She was sad, feeling she'd lost something beautiful. He Didn't even let her explain.

Las Balas has caused problem again! I just knew it was them! They're the worst. Claire and Pin find out in different ways, both wanted to investigate..
But Claire was 1st(Her only redeeming if she atleast find the kids..), somehow Las Balas found about her though. Oh no, she's in danger!
As soon as they found about it, Pin, Kim and Moves went to save the day.

At that moment, Pin knew that he'll always care about her, her safety was foremost. If he lost her, he won't forgive himself.

Do they get in time? Will Claire get her chance to explain? Do they *finally* confess feelings?

P.s. I loved the action in the end! Pin can be lethal if he wants, it's hot! The epilogue was amazing❤(Glad to know how the case turns out.)
so excited for Trainer's story!

ONE SENSATIONAL WHIRLWIND!!!
Outstanding! Hope unleashes one heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, page flipping, block busting bombshell, bestowing one beautifully composed work of art, with an arresting storyline and gripping plot, wrapping this baby together sleek, shiny and tight. A tumultuous whirlwind full of unsettling mishaps and vexing circumstances, alongside the intimidating trials and challenging tribulations, noting the startling twists and wicked turns, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never envisioned. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, booting this gem into a tempest, bursting it into a frenzy with a mind-blowing culmination. Braided, bound and entangled, exposing the explosive ups and agonizing downs, grounding in it's strength and awe-inspiring in it's depth. The attraction and chemistry sizzles from the pages and suck you in so deeply until you feel the heat and electricity thrumming through your veins. The characters, banter, dialogue, interactions and charged atmosphere, along with relatable qualities and individual traits, blend and flow, transforming into genuinely charismatic personalities. The scenes are written with such realism, impressive talent and unique insight, blasts this sparkling jewel to life, making the storyline pop. Awesome job Hope, thanks for sharing this little treasures with us.

Cheating spouses, lies, suspense, missing kids and P.I.'s not what Pin thought he's relaship with Claire would be like the MC life brings plenty of danger and love and romance hard to find hes had plenty of experience with lies he just didnt think Claire was going to be another mistake but when her snooping puts her in danger he will have to forgive her and save her.

Clair I didn't know working a job for Kim would lead to this it was just a simple cheating case but then in order to get information about the MC I get two close to the one man who can change my mind about relationships i don't believe in them love is a fairy tale but Pin gets to me to bad when finds out what I'm doing he leaves well forget him I'm on to something with these missing kids i don't need him until I do. There hot for each other they have trust issues to get over and they need each other especially when Clair gets herself into a whole lot of trouble.

I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Can you make it work when you never believed in relationships before you met the one?

Pin is the second book in the Outlaw Souls series by Hope Stone. After reading the first book and just thinking it was okay I think the author has much improved with the story of Claire and Pin. Both of these characters are coming from a "no relationship for me" point of view but when they meet it is like a big hit of the head for them both as they see stars and hearts (just think the old cartoons).
This is an interesting story that takes the reader on a journey not just of the relationship between Claire and Pin but also about her latest case as a PI. But she hides this from Pin which cause issues between them but still they cannot stay away from each other. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next in this series.
BTW - I would not really classify this book as a dark and violent so on the much tamer side of Outlaw MC's

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This is the second book in the Outlaw Souls MC series. This story is about Pin, who is the accountant for the club, and Claire, who is a PI. Neither of them is looking for a relationship, but they meet at the Blue Dog Saloon while she's working on another case, and things do move along, with him "helping" on the case. Then things get heavy between them and her lies -- of omission -- come out. She's working on a lost teenagers case, where the kids were thought to be involved with a MC gang, and Outlaw Souls is the best known in the area, so... Pin is upset because he thinks Claire was just using him and his character is very believable in how he deals with it. Lots of self-introspection by both characters, and a rescue, that somehow wasn't as intense as it could have been.

I liked this book, but not as much as the first. The ending was dramatic but not as dramatic as the first, yet was still very satisfying.

This book is about Claire and Pin. Claire is a private investigator who mainly looks for cheating husbands. She meets Pin when she finds out that a pledge to his biker club is involved with her newest case. Pin is the treasurer of the Outlaw Souls and when he first meets Claire he is surprised by her occupation, taken with her outgoingness and finds it hard to believe that she might truly be interested in him. Claire and Pin both have major relationship issues and a growing attraction to each other. Claire's next case will put all of that to a test and possible break everything as she investigates the Outlaw Souls for being involved with drugs and the disappearance of some teenagers. I enjoyed this book and learning more about the Outlaw Souls but especially about Claire, Pin, Kim and Moves. I am definitely looking forward to Book 3.

Pin is in the Outlaw Soul MC. He is the treasurer and keeps tabs on all their money. Claire is a PI that is working on a cheating husband when she meets Kim and Pin. Claire and Pin hit it off great. They chat and get to know each other. They have a great chemistry and jump into bed. Both have feelings they never knew before. Claire gets a new assignment and it about missing kids and the parents are going on what they know. They only know about the Outlaw Souls and Claire contacts Kim for help and Pin. Soon, she starts to have stronger feelings for Pin but sides them due to the assignment she got. When she knows it’s not the Outlaws,Pin finds out she’s not being honest and blows up. Claire is on her own to look at the other MC but she might have bite off more than she can chew. Great book.

A trip into the dirty underbelly world of crooked motorcycle clubs. As in anything in this world, there are good and evil. The problem isn’t in deciphering which is which. It is rather we are prejudiced in our thinking and must wade through that to honestly discern the truth.
Claudia, a strong, confident woman, finds a down to earth guy but she doesn’t discover that until the end. Pin comes off as a gruff MC guy but is really a genuine person in doesn’t trust deep relationships.Claudia has seen too much of the seedy side of life to trust in them either. So they think they know exactly what they want and expect from each other. But life and circumstances are about to get in the way, and it becomes a case of whether you really can trust another or not.

An amazing story showing communication is key to making relationships work. Pin has only seen poor relationships, Claire is an adrenaline junkie that always gets bored with relationships and even the thought of relationships. A case of a cheating spouse brings Pin and Claire together, but a case of missing teens tears them apart. I would have loved to hear more about Ryder and Paige, get a glimpse of his life during this (not sure if they are together during Pin's story or not). Being a MC brotherhood, I was hoping for a glimpse, but overall it was still a good story. So glad that Pin and Claire are trying things out!

This is book two in the Outlaw Souls MC series. Meet Pin and Claire, a biker who is not a relationship man and Claire, a investigative journalist who has no interest in commitment. These two have instant, strong chemistry but is it enough when the skeletons start shaking in the closet. Claire is looking into missing children and all fingers are pointing to Outlaw Souls MC. What an amazing story, absolutely captivating! This book will take you through the ringer as you figure out what happened to the children, watch two people struggle with a new relationship and have past secrets surface that should never see the light of day. Enjoy!

I received an arc for an honest review. This book brings us Pin and Claire. Pin is the treasurer of the Outlaw Souls and is very closed off, after witnessing his mother constantly being hurt by love, and a high school heartbreak that forever changed him. Claire is a PI, and at first she is working on a case where Kim, a member of the Souls, is seeing a married man which she had no idea he was married. With Claire's line of work - primarily seeing cheating men, her views on a long term relationship are just like Pins. However, the more time they spend together, the more neither can deny how good each other feels. However, there are some twists and turns that cause problems for the couple. You will love this book. I highly recommend it.

This very well written book 2 in the Outlaw Souls Series has great characters. These characters are well crafted and have good chemistry. This book has cheating spouses, lies, suspense, missing kids and P.I.'s. He thought their life would be like the typical MC life, but it was not. This story brings plenty of danger, love and romance. He finds that it is harder to be with and was going to be another mistake, but when her snooping puts her in danger he will have to forgive her and save her. A must read

This is 2nd book in Hope Stone's newest MC series. I enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Pin is the "accountant" for the Outlaw Souls and he meets Claire, a private investigator, while she is on a cheating husband case. Their relationship starts quickly and they fall for each other even though both have relationship issues. Things turn south when Pin believes Claire used him with her new investigation into his club. When Claire is held by a rival bike club, you get to see how Claire is brave and kicka$$ and holds her own. I read this book with my kindle unlimited subscription as I love romantic suspense stories and can't get enough.

[M Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. This series has taken me by surprise. Well written. Book 2 follows the accountant of the Outlaw Souls MC. Whilst “an unlikely romance”, I actually found it hard to put down! An outline of the plot is provided in the promo, so won’t repeat it here.
Liked the two main characters Pin and Claire, and how their unlikely but stormy roller coaster relationship developed. Also liked the insights into the Outlaw Souls as background.
Plenty of tension and drama, with a healthy dose of spice. You may need an ice pack or two!

I love Pin and Claire! So perfect for each other. When Claire walks into the Blue Dog she’s there to do a job, catch a cheating husband. What she doesn’t anticipate is the sexy Outlaw Souls treasurer. But she doesn’t do relationships and neither does he. The problem is that neither can deny something more is happening than a one night stand. Then the other problem, her job has her caught between deceiving him and falling for him. Will the case kill the relationship? Book 2 in Outlaw Souls is a fast paced exciting read with lust, mystery, deception and love! A fabulous read!

Pin is a book that keeps you guessing. That’s good because I never got bored with it. Pin is the accountant for the Outlaw Souls MC. He’s a great guy. Sensitive and passionate. His view on finding love? As negative as a man who has his young heart broken can possibly be. He doesn’t see a silver lining until he meets Claire. Now her reasons for putting herself into his path is a little self serving at first, since she’s a private investigator working a case but she soon sees the light. Definitely worth the read.

Can 2 people who don't believe in love, find it and their own HEA? Pin believes love is doomed from the beginning. Claire doesn't commit. The two meet each other and sparks fly. Reading about the relationship between the two of them is beautiful. The book is beautifully and tastefully written. The two will battle things that will test their relationship. Good chemistry.
