Austin by Piper Stone

4.0

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Austin is book 5 in the Montana Bad Boys series by Piper Stone. The story and love affair between Franny and Austin (Vader) is intense. The story is hot and heavy and won't be for everyone. Their hot and heavy romance is a little outside of what could be traditionally the norm. Austin/Vader is a strong but troubled man. He and the other Montana Boys all share a tragedy in their past that has shaped them into who they are. The other guys have met their match and these women being them a sort of peace in tbe previous books in the series. When Vader meets Franny the chemistry is off the charts.

Francesca Montgomery is a senator and picking up a hitchhiker on a rainy, rainy night is very out of character for her. She is a strong believer in fighting for what is right. I just had a little trouble with how fast she was willing to spend the night with a stranger. I guess as much as she is able to see the good in Vader, he sees Franny's wild streak.

This story is more than just romance. There is an arsonist torching buildings, blackmail, threats and attempted murder. It grabbed me from page one and held me until the happily ever after. Austin is a satisfying wrap to the Montana Bad Boys series.
