Blurb:
Arianne
Leaving my abusive husband was hard. Attending the funeral of my murdered sister is harder.
Especially when I find myself face-to-face with a stern Iron Outlaw biker holding a baby he says is my niece.
I have no money, no home, and no way to take care of her, no matter how badly I want to.
Until Jackson 'Halo' Flynn offers me a deal that sounds too good to be true.
Live with him and care for my niece while he takes care of the men who killed her parents.
Halo
Vengeance is the only thing on my mind, not the sweet young woman with a busted face who claims to be the aunt of my half-sister, Lola.
Relationships weren't in my game plan. Neither was becoming a dad to Lola.
Yet, somehow our three lost souls stumble their way into becoming a family.
Until the man who killed my father decides to wipe out my father's line.
Which means me...and my girls.
But as a former Navy SEAL, I know there are no lengths I won't go to to protect the family I've claimed.
My 5* Review:
The Souls We Claim by S. Cole is book seven in the excellent Iron Outlaws MC series. This time we have the club's road captain Jackson 'Jax' Flynn aka Halo and Arianne Osborne in an age-gap, opposites attract romance. This couple are brought together through the actions of others and find themselves linked forever. They turn out to be the best thing to happen to each other.
If you thought you had a favourite couple in this series, then I think these two will change your mind. Halo and Ari complement each other so well and are perfect together.
Halo is a decorated Navy Seal who has embraced the one percent life since returning to the club Although he has seen his fellow brothers find their old ladies, he is positive he will never be a one woman man. The last book ended with the murder of his dad and his girlfriend Mercy, leaving Halo to look after his baby step sister Lola. It also revealed the identity of the leader of the Righteous Brotherhood so he feels guilty that everything that is happening to the club is down to his father and he is facing the consequences of his dad's decisions. Could he be a single dad and raise Lola, while getting revenge for his father's death?
Arianne hasn't seen or heard from her sister since she left home and is shocked by the news about her funeral. She is in an abusive relationship and has no support from her parents so sees this as the chance to escape. She turns up battered and bruise to find out she is an aunt. She has no idea about MC's but is fascinated by the man who offers to look after her as no one has taken care of her before.
Halo's transformation starts the moment he first sets eyes on Ari. He thinks she's cute and he gets very protective of her but worries her being linked to the club won't keep her safe. He's reluctant to start something as they are responsible for Lola but he struggles to resist her. He likes control and wants to take care of her. As she embraces his dominant side and enjoys him looking after her all bets are off - well except the one with Switch!!
"I'm glad I got to come home to you today, Ari."
Ari has been through so much in but Halo's thoughtful and kind actions really help her overcome her trauma. Although intimidated by the MC, she grows in confidence and finds herself able to get the life she has always wanted. All our favourite men appear but its the old ladies that really stand out with their support and reassurance to Ari. Avery was a little star again and the snippets of her with Niro and Cat were great.
The problems with the Righteous Brother hood are always in the back ground but the main focus throughout the book is on then couple. Brad Colins makes his intentions clear and the threats against Halo increase. It all builds into an explosive ending with Halo receiving some surprising help. Can the Iron Outlaws finally annihilate the Righteous Brotherhood and give this couple a peaceful and happy life together with Lola. A heartfelt tale with a shocking cliffhanger ready for the next book.
