Blurb:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men series comes an irresistible and suspenseful romance between a doctor who plays by the rules and the outlaw who breaks them in order to protect her.

Dr. Presley Baskin has always lived a quiet, calm life. Unfortunately, nothing about her life in Loveless, Texas---especially not the wild, rowdy, and impossibly close-knit Lawton family who've claimed her---is quiet or calm. Which is how loner Presley finds herself roped into patching up local bad boy Shot Caldwell against her better judgment. Presley wants nothing to do with the dangerous, brooding leader of the local outlaw motorcycle club. But when someone starts stalking her, Shot is the only person she trusts to help. Plus he owes her one...

Palmer 'Shot' Caldwell has always known his life isn't made for relationships. At least until shy, secretive, Presley reluctantly pulled a bullet out of him. He's oddly protective of the pretty doctor, so when she comes to him for help, hard-hearted Shot suddenly realizes there's nothing he wouldn't do to keep her safe.

***

 This was a pretty good book. Blacklisted was Shot and Presley's book. Presley is the half sister of the Lawton family, who they discovered existed in the other books in the series. Pres has been through the wringer. The woman, who she thought was her best friend, has ruined her life, may have had a hand in her parents' deaths, and is stalking her. Presley is tired of hiding and wants her life back, even if that means drawing out her stalker so that she can be arrested. Shot is the president of the local MC and a good friend (used to be friend with benefits) with Presley's half sister Cody. When Shot is shot one night by a MC enemy, Presley (a doctor and medical examiner) is called in to save his life. After that, the two have a connection and attraction. Shot wants to help protect her and the two explore their feelings for each, while threats come at Presley. There is action, suspense and romance while Presley and Shot fall for each other along the way.

I liked this book and I think it was my favorite of the series. I did want a bit more firsthand resolution. I felt like the climax was a bit too close to the end and the resolution was told/not shown and felt rushed. I wanted more. But I liked Shot and Presley and thought they were good together. Pres had been through so much, yet was still open and vulnerable. I was slightly bothered that Shot used to sleep with Cody. Even though it wasn't serious and they didn't love each other, it was slightly icky. I was curious to know more about Shot's MC and what they did that was so illegal. Overall, though, I did enjoy this book. I was happy that two lonely souls were able to get their HEA. I look forward to more from Ms. Crownover in the future!
