Rachel by Serena Akeroyd

5.0

The final chapter of the Satan's Sinners in West Orange. It was emotional because we're closing the book, in a way, on this chapter of bikers and that is sad for me! But, I loved Rachel. This book was great in closing this part of the world. Rachel was a much less angsty book than I thought it would be. I was ok with that honestly because I just REALLLLY wanted Rex and Rachel to get the happily ever after that they deserved. Rex. Ugh, Rex. He is swoon worthy. Not because he's the dirtiest. Not because he's the prez of the mc. To me, he's swoon worthy because of his devotion to Rachel no matter the years, no matter the distance, no matter the iciness she built up and gave to everyone. I LOVE that his love for her was unwavering. Even when it hurt him so much. Even when SHE hurt him. He knew that she was it for him and that she was the way she was for a reason. He was willing to wait for her to be ready for him. I just really really loved that about him. I actually really loved Rachel too. I felt so emotional for her after everything she had endured over her lifetime. It made why she acted the way she acted and why she secluded herself make so much more sense. We wanna believe that she's just this rude, closed off, bitter woman. But there's a reason she makes us feel that way about her. It's a defense mechanism for her and I totally get that. It makes her feel like she's not vulnerable and that no one can see the vulnerabilities she has. I will say that we were so Wynter heavy in Rex that I was sad that we didn't get as much of her in this book! I really like Wynter and I can't wait to see her in the future! At the end of the day, I love that the angst was so low because I was just so dang happy that Rex and Rachel got the life they should have always had together. With their happy and healthy kids. With the brothers. With the Posse. I LOVE the dynamic between an mc. The found family is my favorite. So that ending though!! I love that we get a glimpse of the mother chapter 30 years from now. It makes them seem so much more real when I can picture them in their 60's! I love picturing everyone with kids and grandkids. I was kind of surprised to see Digger and MaryCat's son on the spectrum as well as Rex and Rachel's. I hope we get to see more of that in future books! I know it leaves Sweet Lips Old Lady unnamed but I REALLY want it to be who I think it is. It would make my romantic heart beat so fast because it would be so cute! I AM OBSESSED with Priest. Obsessed with him. I knew from the moment he showed up that he would be someone I would come to love. I and shipping Priest and Wynter so hard. I need that to happen! Sweet Rain. I can't wait to see how he's changed after enlisting. I really can't. I think he's going to come back a whole different person. Will he join the police force? Will he join The Sinner's?! Who knows?! I know we'll find out though! This series was so good! The interconnection with The Five Points is literally so great. I love how you get bits and pieces of so many series characters in every book! If you're on the fence about reading this series, don't be! It's worth every minute!
