Leather (Blackie) and Lace (Lacey) are hands down my favorite MC couple seriously ever. The blood sweat and tears the author put into telling their story is evident. The journey these two have endured is incredible. The balance of intense emotions and the action of MC life was perfect. One of the many things I admire about this author is that her writing is so realistic to this world. I would even venture to say she would give Kurt Sutter a run for his money when it comes to writing MC. I am going to miss my Leather and Lace. This duet along with Lethal Temptation will be books I come back to and read again.

Anyone who has met Blackie and Lacey knows that their story isn't as easy as it looks. She constantly fights against her own mind and he's struggling with addiction. When they're apart and hit rock bottom, is their love enough?

A tragic love story disguised as one of the greatest fairytales.


I've loved these characters for so long that their pain was my pain. I felt every moment of conflict and it hurt whenever I thought they might not make it through together. I also feel like every small amount of joy that burst through the darkness was written just to put a smile on my face. These characters worked hard for their forever. The road was full of pitfalls and obstacles and they tended to stand in their own way, but their love was so strong. Strong enough to defeat the odds. Strong in the face of mental illness and addiction. Strong in ways neither of them could have imagined.

But I think love is only hard when you love hard. It hurts when you have too much to lose.




I love Blackie. He's such a beautiful soul. He never really handled life in the most 'normal' of ways and his fight against his habits was torturous, but his heart was so magnificent. The way he loved Lacey, the amount of love he felt for his family... We all would be blessed to be loved like that!

I enjoyed getting a ton of Nico in this story and I cannot wait until he gets a book of his own. This young man is suffering and I want to get to the heart of it. Bosco writes stories full of so much heart. They're raw and real and painful, but she makes us appreciate her happy endings even more. Life isn't easy or perfect and allowing her characters to fall and pick themselves back up gives us the chance to relate to them. They're fake people with real people problems and the author does an amazing job of bringing them to life. I will always be a fan and I'm so excited to see what comes next. As for Leather and Lace, I hope I get to see more of them and their beauty in the future.

Not every fairy tale is a tragic love story. But sometimes you have to navigate Hell to find Heaven.
