Soldiers of Fortune #3
Absolution
Butch
I was the leader of the Soldiers of Fortune MC. I was powerful, fierce, and vicious when needed. And I melted like a puddle when I realized the injured man I'd rescued off the street was my mate. At my age, I never really thought I'd get one, and yet here he was. Treat was everything I ever could have dreamed of. It was just too bad his life was such a nightmare.
Between threats from someone close to the MC and people being kidnapped right off the streets, learning that Treat might be a special kind of shifter seemed like the least of my worries. Having to call in a favor from an old enemy doesn't sit well with me, but I'd do anything to keep my new family safe, even face my father.
Treat
Trick or Treat, that was my motto. I wasn't thrilled that I had to sell my body to make ends meet, but caring for the small bear shifter I'd found on the streets meant doing whatever I needed to do to keep a roof over our heads. It wasn't a glamorous job by any stretch of the imagination, and it wasn't always safe. When the neighborhood starts to become even more dangerous, I know it's time to reevaluate my employment choices.
I never dreamed I'd find safety in a motorcycle club run by bear shifters, or that their leader would be my mate. I wasn't opposed to the idea. Butch was sexy as hell. I just wasn't sure he was powerful enough to keep me and Doby safe, especially when someone starts kidnapping people right off the streets and I may have led them right to the Soldiers of Fortune.

Story-wise, this is a solid 4 stars. Editing a 2. There were several instances where the wrong name was used Bear/Butch. And there were missing words. I liked the story and both characters. I'm interested to see where it's all going to go. It looks like mpreg which I love, but I hate there were so many errors.

the ending was to messy :(

I almost gave this 3-stars because of the huge amount of "missing" words! I mean, seriously? It was like every page or so I had to fill in a blank... grrr
As for the story itself? I like the direction the series is going and am finding each book a bit fuffy and semi-violent at the same time... don't ask, it is what it is! *grin*
I like action... I like romance and I like BUG! OK, I like the other characters, but Bug won my heart!
So, I guess now we just wait and see where things go from here. I really am not good at waiting... *headdesk*

I'm really hoping there's going to be more books in this series because I am completely hooked!
The world building paints a gritty urban landscape that is perfect for an MC series. Butch, the president of the Soldiers of Fortune MC, is a tough biker that runs his club with a firm but fair hand. He's definitely not used to showing the softer side of emotions until the beaten and bloody young man falls at their doorstep. Trick or Treat - Treat - has had to do whatever he could to survive on the streets. Even if it meant selling his body. Caring for a two year old whose parents were murdered, Treat has managed to scrape by and stay out of trouble until trouble comes looking for him! Badly beaten he turns to his old friend, Bug, for help and stumbles right into the arms of his bear mate! However, there are a lot of dark forces lurking in the background and it's going to take the entire MC club to protect their home and mates when danger comes calling.
I love this series! I love the characters and how they interact with each other and their mates. I'm really, really hoping that the author continues with these books, as there are a lot more of the club that deserve to find their HEA: Razor, Ryder, Gearhead, Rooster, Peanut and Tex. Even Tank, now that he's showed up!
I'm absolutely a sucker for MM motorcycle club books and this one ticked all my boxes. 5/5* stars

I hope Rocky gets a hacker boy. Antagonizing Goldie while she's holding a baby is so stupid. Doby is invisible in scene pretty often despite being a plot device.
Needs editing. Pretty sure they reference shifters in front of humans in the clubhouse. Sometimes the same conversation / dialogue happens twice. Like treat telling butch what he does but the first time should have been edited out considering his reaction to the second time and how that carry on to a quick argument. There wasn't a misunderstanding, both times butch acknowledges that treat won't be selling here and now. Or end of ch.10 butch tells bear twice to put two members out on the street one leads to a conversation about bug, the other is an order without the bug clarification.

I was glad that Butch got his own book and it didn't disappoint. As he finds Treat, someone Bug knew from the street, beat up, he feels protective of the man he's seen around. It soon becomes clear why the man is important to him. I enjoy how all the books connect together and the couples, as well as new secondary characters, come into this world and fit perfectly. Another great read of the series!

2.5/5 estrellas
me gustó un poco menos, por diferentes razones, entre ellas los problemas de redacción, no sé si hubo algún editor; misoginia que entiendo de cierta forma estaba "justificada", pero era un poco extraño; se resuelve muy rápido el conflicto y no se profundiza en la historia con el padre como me gustaría.
lo que sí me gustó es que se resolvieran temas antiguos, como el del policía y que siguiera hablando del abuelo, ya que era obvio que no se iba a terminar ahí.

Butch and Treat’s story was exactly what I’d hoped for! There are some discrepancies but, meh, I ignored them and just enjoyed the story. I like how the author threw the concept of omegas in, and even giving an opening for a potential mpreg down the road.
The “mystery/suspense” portion with Markus was kind of weak but I did enjoy the final solution.

mc shifter
Cool MC shifter story. The world was interesting and how the shifters/non shifters characteristics were nice. This one is about the big bad pres finding his mate. Who had some interesting characteristics. The plot was cool the characters were good I just wasn’t down with info drop at the end. That wasn’t cool. The smexy was good but rushed also.

This one has fewer holes than the previous two - probably because the others have built a type of foundation for me to work with. I feel like this is a good way for the author to end this series. The final reveal is just too funny and leaves the reader with all the 'what will be's that can follow. In addition, the readers no longer have to suffer through the inconsistent facts.

Quede totalmente atrapada con esta historia, me encantó, se lee super rápido, no te das cuenta por lo entretenida que es.
Treat es perfecto para Butch con ese carácter que tiene, cuando le hace frente a Goldie fue genial, defendiendo lo que es suyo.
Espero que salgan más historias de los demás porque tengo muchas ganas de conocerlos, más ahora que aparecen los zorros también.

Good book
I'm so glad to see that Butch got his happy ever after. I really liked Treat and Butches story. This book is even more action packed than the first two books in the series. I especially enjoyed the little twist the author threw in at the end.

It offered different story about omega shifter. An omega was a shifter but can't shift and has talent like foresee the future or can heal like Treat or can tell if danger is coming like Bug. When they reach the age of 25, they can get pregnant.

Disappointing Read😟
This story started off bad with the main character having to sell his self in order to take care of himself and a cub that was thrust on him; but the worse part for me was the torture scene near the end of the storyline that clinched it for me😫😢!

Trick and Butch
Awesome story. The story grabs a hold and does not let go. Surprise from previous character and justified ending. Interesting twist attached to Trick and Bug. Great story Aja

Great book
This was a great series. I hope others will enjoy it as well. I hope the author continues this series so that readers can learn more about all of the side characters that haven't gotten their HEAs.😊

Oh man I can just picture Butch banging his head on the desk. I would have liked to see how the omegas and their mates reacted when they found out that they could have children.
