ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 28, 2019

Cooper and Elizabeth Townsend are from two very different worlds – she’s an attorney and he’s an outlaw biker. At first, she was just an escape he needed, but now she’s everything to him, even though their relationship remains a secret.

After his world is blown apart, Cooper is no longer the same man he was before. He’s questioning everything and wondering how the Savage Kings MC are going to fix the mess they made.

It isn’t easy for him to admit that he needs Elizabeth’s help, knowing she’s resisted becoming a part of his life. She just doesn’t think the two of them make sense together. Cooper lives in the constant chaos that Elizabeth tries to control in the courtroom.

Despite the danger, she decides to go all in and do whatever it takes to help Cooper heal.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tries, nothing goes Cooper’s way, not with Elizabeth, the MC, or the redemption he desperately seeks.

Trying and failing to do the right thing, Cooper finally submits to his demons, letting them have everything they crave – the violence, vengeance, and destruction because he doesn’t think he has anything else to lose.

Before it’s too late, Elizabeth and the other Kings will have to try and stop Cooper from making a mistake he’ll never come back from.

REVIEW: COOPER is the tenth instalment in Lane Hart and DB West’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE KINGS MC erotic, MC romance story line focusing on the Savage Kings MC. This is attorney Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Townsend, and Cooper Cummings’ story line. COOPER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and history as there is an on-going premise throughout.

Told form dual first person perspectives (Liz and Cooper) COOPER follows in the aftermath of the explosion that destroyed Savage Ink tattoo studio, and the Savage Kings MC strip club Avalon, killing a dancer, and severely injuring our story line hero. Two years earlier, Cooper Cummings began a ‘sex’ only affair with his attorney Elizabeth Townsend, but Cooper’s demands for something more push Elizabeth out of his life until desperate times called for desperate measures. The death of Jenna Higgins left her four month old daughter Ruby without a family, and Cooper made it his mission to bring Ruby home into the fold. Needing a ‘marriage of convenience’ in order to adopt Ruby, Cooper asks Liz for her hand in marriage, a marriage to which Liz agrees, in name only. What ensues is the building romance and love between Liz and Cooper, and the potential fall-out as Cooper struggles with what will never be.

Liz Townsend doesn’t do relationships and her ‘sex-only’ affair with Cooper Cummings was exactly what she needed but when Cooper developed feelings for our story line heroine, Liz panicked and kicked Cooper out of her life. Cooper Cummings didn’t know when he started to fall for his beautiful attorney but knew he blew the day he asked for something more. The explosion at the club left Cooper struggling in more ways than one but he never expected to need Liz more than he did at the moment.

The relationship between Liz and Cooper is a friends with benefits that turns into something more. Cooper is willing to risk his heart but Liz struggles with the possibility of destroying her career if caught associating with the Savage Kings MC. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including club president Torin Fury; MC members Chase, Abe, Reece, Dalton, Cedric, Miles, Jade, Ian and Gabe; Liz’s childhood friend Owen, and secretary Barbara. Ian and Gabe’s story line is next.

COOPER is a story of betrayal and vengeance; family, friendship, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is heavy and hot; the characters are energetic, colorful and sassy. If you are a fan of the MC romance genre, I recommend giving the Savage Kings MC a try.
