Calista
They always say you should never fall in love with your best friend.
And that’s especially true if they aren’t in love with you.
But when I was eighteen years old, I did it anyway.
Until Tiberius “Vex” Williams did the unthinkable and shattered my heart, costing me everything.
But now I’m back in New Jersey with an ailing mother and an unknown stalker.
The last thing I need is a grumpy biker determined to make sense of our past.
Vex
There are many rumors about how I became an Outlaw, but I became one to save my best friend’s life after she threatened to hack the MC.
And she hated me for it, leaving New Jersey in a blur of words time hasn’t healed.
Calista Moray is now the CEO of a leading cybersecurity firm, and she’s back looking better than ever.
When our paths cross, sparks fly. We’re best friends turned enemies with a score to settle and a whole lot of tension between us.
Until the head of the Cosa Nostra confides that millions of dollars have been stolen from their accounts and he asks me to figure out where their money went.
The thought I’ll find Calista’s digital fingerprint everywhere terrifies me.
Especially given this time around, it’s not just our hearts but our lives at stake.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Deals We Make is book nine in the Iron Outlaws MC Series. This is a second chance romance and the last book in the series. This story focused on Vex and his childhood best friend Calista.
Vex is the club tech guru. He’s the eyes, ears, financial advisor, and overall protector of the entire club, their assets, and their families. He’s perceptive, loyal, protective, dedicated, selfless, hard working and so much more. He’s made many sacrifices to help those around him dating back to his teens.
Calista is hard working, successful, independent, and intelligent. She also has a slew of vulnerabilities. She suffers from PTSD from past trauma, has always felt somewhat unseen and has been lonely for quite some time, and is also riddled with guilt how her past went down and changed the course of the future.
The storyline was angsty and emotional with a few plot twists. There was lots of spice with praise kink and rope play integrated in the mix. You feel their chemistry from early on and cheer on their reconciliation from old childhood friends to frenemies to lovers.
Cole wraps up this series so well. The bond between the brothers is stronger than ever with some really deep moments. Niro was also quite funny in this book which lightened some heavy moments and I loved him more and more throughout the series.
Calista was a perfect addition to the girl gang and I hope we get to see all these charcaters again in the future. And the good news is, there are more Iron Outlaws coming, different charter of course! We get a little sneak peak and I already can’t wait to start the new series even though I’ll miss the OG’s.
Meet S. Cole: The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.
