Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars of awesomesauce! I have liked all of the Dead President books and this one is no different. Tap is so totally an over the top alpha, but he also makes it a little hard for his brothers to know more about him. He is totally that paranoid! I don’t think he skirts it, I think he embrasses it and uses it as a crutch to keep others are arms length. But he totally dropped those shields that he has in place when it comes to Sasha. She burst into his life in a way that he didn’t anticipate and wasn’t sure how to deal with, but I felt that she became a catalyst for him to embrace more of life than he currently was. And man was she a character that I really liked! She herself knew she was going down a dark path, but she believed in doing something since it didn’t look like anyone else was and she knew that she was placing herself in danger. But for the greater good, she was willing. Totally a tough character, and what she put herself through, WOW! Overall, I really liked the story. The characters were interesting and this was a new take that the President books had not been on before. The story was well paced and very engaging. I got to read more about the other characters I have read of and really liked. So I was really happy with this new book. So, two thumbs up and happy reading!

Harley Stone has raised the bar for a five star read. My plan was to read the first few chapters. I wanted to get to know the main characters. I wanted to revisit with some of the Dead Presidents MC members. I wanted to figure out the main plot so I could set time aside to enjoy the club's next adventure. My plan went out the window. There was no putting Tap'd Out down. I was obsessed with Tap and what he was hiding. Holy Secret Spies!!! That man keeps a lot of secrets and has so many talents/trades. His best moment was not leaving Sasha behind while playing secret squirrel. Sasha is a woman that is in way over her head and crashing fast. Sasha is everything that Tap didn't know he needed. She is the cop the citizens need. She is the cop at can cause trouble for her bosses and those she wants to investigate. She is the cop that digs too deep and can't dig herself out. She is willing to loose everything in order to save others. Grab the popcorn and soda. Find a comfy chair. Unplug the phone because you will not want to be interrupted. Open up Tap'd Out and fall into the pages. You are in for thrills, chills, and down right evil within the story. Ride along on Valkrie as Tap and Sasha ride off into a Happily Ever After.

Oh, wow! This book had so much going for it, I'm just not sure where to start! How about with the fantastic story line, that kept me engaged from beginning to end? Or, how about with the non stop action or the smoking hot connection between Tap and Sasha? What about the amazing writing that pulled me in and made me feel like I was right in the middle of what was happening? Sasha had a childhood that started out great, but quickly turned horrific after her father's death. She took what some would view as the beginning of a horrible life, and turned it into a career that she felt she could help people with. As a police officer, she tried to make other's lives better, even at the detriment of her own. Trying to do what she felt was right, even when she was told to leave it alone, put her in a situation that was looking grimmer by the minute, with no way out. Until Tap showed up. Tap has demons. His demons keep him from getting close to anyone, from sharing his life with anyone. They make him hide his secrets, even from those that would have his back in any situation. But meeting Sasha, saving her from her own horror, could lead to something so explosive, it could just bring him back from the brink. I've read all of the Dead Presidents MC books, and this one is my favorite, so far! They keep getting better with each book, and Tap and Sasha are absolutely made for each other! They each have their own problems that they are working on, but are stronger together. There are some pretty harsh parts in the beginning of this story, that may cause some readers to take pause, but they are integral to the story. But, truly, this story is just as amazing (if not more so!) as the rest of the series, and one that I'd tell anyone to jump at!
