As soon as I finished Ex-con, I had to have Patrick's story in Outlaw! And WHEW BOY! Reader, be ready. If you loved Shane, you'll REALLY love Patrick! Want your next book boyfriend? Yeah, read these books! I absolutely ADORED these books. The cliffhanger each part leaves you on ... AWESOME. If I had had to wait, I would have been on edge, but in the best possible way.
I was immediately sucked into Patrick and Michelle's world. If you haven't read Ex-Con yet, I definitely recommend starting with Part 1 here. I understood their bit of history due to Shane and Charlie's connection. Things got heated quickly, but it was a very emotional start to this story. It was hot and sweet and Michelle couldn't let it happen again. Her job and career made her insist on staying away from Patrick and HSC. However, easier said than done. I loved getting to see a different side of Patrick. He was sweet, cared about others and was funny at times to diffuse situations. He had a hard childhood due to a loss and he found HSC at a time he needed brothers the most. He didn't let others see who he really was or how he felt, until Michelle. They had a pull on each other that they tried to deny. And her life and his intersected in such a way that they couldn't keep avoiding each other.
There were many parts to this story that I loved. First, obviously, was watching the relationship develop between Patrick and Michelle. But I enjoyed watching them work together to solve the mystery of the things that were happening around them. And I hated seeing Michelle's anguish over her family. She couldn't unlearn what happened with Remy and Charlie, and I wanted to choke him for her! BUT I don't want to give anything away about this story. Readers need to read these books without knowing what's to come, IMO. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next thing! Sleep? HA! Yeah, that wasn't happening with Outlaw. I was glued to this story and I loved that it was fast paced. I couldn't devour it fast enough and yet hated for it to be over. I loved this world Katana has created and it's one I HIGHLY recommend!

This was a DNF for me and because of that and out of respect for the author no review will be posted as I will not review a book that I did not finish.
