Goodreads

The first day that she walked onto the surgical floor that Chevy Clayborne spent most of his time on, he knew that he’d do anything to make her his.

For two years, he played the long game.

He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t.

He’s no real knight.

In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.

He lives life the way he wants to live it, and damn anyone and anything that gets in his way.

He may appear like an upstanding anesthesiologist at work, but the moment he gets out of those scrubs and into his jeans, biker boots, and leather cut with the Truth Tellers emblem at his back, he morphs into his alter ego.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ain’t got nothin’ on him.

He’s been putting on a front for two years, and just when he has Aella Cowan right where he wants her, he closes down every possible avenue of escape.

He thinks he has a future fight on his hand, but Aella proves that she’s not quite as sheltered as Chevy thinks. She’s perfectly happy being the old lady of one of the scariest members of the Truth Tellers Motorcycle Club and couldn’t care less if he spends his nights doing questionable things to despicable people.

As long as she has breakfast with him every morning, what does she care how he spent his night?

Grumpy Sunshine

Grumpy Sunshine is book one in the spin off series Content Advisory! So, we know a bit about Chevy from the Semyonov Bratva series. He is Keely and Cutter (and Coppers) brother. He has worked hard to make sure his brother has everything he needs when he gets out of prison, but then he almost screws it up majorly.

Aella has a terrible job and an even more terrible best friend. She has the literal WORST mother as well. But, thankfully, she has Chevy. And with Chevy is a whole badass MC! Aella has been barely scraping by her own because her mother has ruined her life and her credit. When she sneaks back into her life to try and steal some more, Chevy is there. Chevy and Aella were a wonderful couple and I adored them. There is plenty of suspense and drama that will keep you flipping pages furiously! I’m so in love with this series already! I can’t wait to get Copper’s story as well as some of the other club members’.
