REVIEW:THE SINS WE HIDE is the first instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary adult, IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Iron Outlaws MC Vice President Landon ‘Clutch’ Bailey, and twenty three year old, Gwen Hills’ story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Clutch and Gwen) THE SINS WE HIDE follows in the aftermath of the hit and run death of Arthur ‘Camelot’ Hill, the president of the Iron Outlaws MC. Ten years earlier Gwen and her mother took off in the middle of the night, and entered into the witness protection program after having ‘ratted out’ a member of the Iron Outlaws MC. Fast forward to present day, Gwen’s mother has been murdered, her father dead in a hit and run, and our heroine recovering from a bullet wound, herself. Needing help from her twin brother and new president of the MC, Uther ‘King’ Hill, Gwen returns to the town and MC where everything went down. Considered to be an enemy of the MC, Gwen will come face to face with the man she had always loved, a man who blames her and her mother for all that went wrong but someone has targeted Gwen in a game of cat and mouse, a game now involving the Cartel, and the Irish mob. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Landon and Gwen, and the potential fall-out as Landon’s relationship with Gwen threatens his position in the MC, as the club suspect a mole deep in their depths.

Landon aka Clutch struggles with his attraction to his best friend’s and president’s twin sister Gwen. Gwen is off limits but Gwen has been the only woman to hold his heart.Knowing Gwen has been targeted for who she is, Clutch comes to a decision between his place in the MC and the woman he loves.

The relationship between Gwen and Landon is one of second chances. Ten years earlier Gwen’s life was torn apart, separated from her twin brother and her father, never able to reconnect with the father she loved but her reappearance brings back too many memories of what happened and why, placing Gwen at odds with her brother and the man with whom she had fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including club president Uther ‘King’ Hill, SAA Spark, treasurer Niro, IT specialist Vex, Track and Tessa, Halo, Switch, club priest Saint; club girls Skylar and Suze; Landon’s father Bill; Irish mobster Cillian O Ceallaigh, his niece Iris. Iris and Spark’s story line is next.

THE SINS WE HIDE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and obsession, family and betrayal, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, engaging and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are determined, desperate and energetic.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.
