Title: Bo
Series: Bad Boys of Retribution MC
Author: Rie Warren
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: July 14, 2015
From the world of Carolina Bad Boys . . . Bo Maverick is ex-Force Recon and a force to be reckoned with.
Bo:
I’m a lover, not a fighter. Yeah, right. Talk about bullshit. I’ve been fighting all my life, and I know zip about love. Frankly, I don’t want to. More than bullets whizzing past my head or the very real possibility of ending up dead, love scares the shit out of me. I’m used to guns and killing, blood and dust.
Lust.
That’s what I feel for this woman, my goddamn shrink, Veronica. Doctor Hartley digs inside my head. She asks me questions, which I never answer. I’d much rather take the smart, sexy Doc to bed, but I can’t because of our clinical relationship.
My last Force Recon mission destroyed any semblance of humanity I had left. Those little triggers go off all the time now. When I’m asleep. When I’m awake. When the memories are raw. I bolt up, at knife point again, but there’s no enemy now.
Just Veronica and me.
Veronica:
Veronica. Doctor Hartley. I told Bo to call me Ronnie like everyone else, but he refuses. He shows up like he has a cattle prod shoved up his ass and sits through the allotted hour for his counseling session impervious to every approach. He’s powerful, forceful, explosive. He doesn’t scare me.
My marine doesn’t speak, but his sharp gaze pierces me all the same. He watches me with all the greed of a hunger never sated, a need never fulfilled. A desire never explored. He stows his secrets safely away, but I’m patient. I’ll get to him if he doesn’t get to me first.
And when I have him? I’ll want him forever. I know this. But I can’t. His past might be complicated, but mine is a minefield, one that will blow up in our faces before all is said and done.
Too bad. We could be so good together.
Warning: Graphic sex, graphic action, graphic language. Triple X caution.
Theresa Martin’s Review: 4.0 ★★★★
When his buddy Hunter forces him to attend therapy to deal with his PTSD, Bo isn’t happy. In fact, after cancelling several appointments, he’s confronted by Dr. Veronica “Ronnie” Hartley. She doesn’t care for him not taking the help she offers, and threatens him with dire consequences if he cancels one more time.
Bo grudgingly attends the sessions, but doesn’t reveal anything about the pain he’s going through. He is, however, very attracted to the good doctor. And the feeling is quite mutual. Like Bo, Ronnie has a lot of baggage from her past. She’s holding a lot of secrets of her own, but that won’t interfere w/her helping Bo. She knows there can’t be any type of relationship between them, but she can help him professionally. And that’s exactly what she’s going to do.
I adored Bo, I think because of the PTSD that he tries to quietly suffer through. He sees that he’s not alone, and he’s got family in the MC that have his back through anything. And like the guys in his MC, when you mess with their women, they bring hell with them to take care of business. Bo is a badass, but he loves so hard, and he needs someone exactly like Doc to love him right back.
Bo is the third book in the Bad Boys of Retribution MC series. This is a great series with a lot of heat and lots of action. I love all the guys in this series, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for Cole.
I received this ARC for an honest review, and I give it 4 stars.

Rie is the badass, sassafras author of Sugar Daddy and the Don’t Tell series–a breakthrough trilogy that crosses traditional publishing boundaries beginning with In His Command. Her latest endeavors include the Carolina Bad Boys, a fun, hot, and southern-sexy series.
A Yankee transplant who has traveled the world, Rie started out a writer—causing her college professor to blush over her erotic poetry without one ounce of shame. Not much has changed. She swapped pen for paintbrushes and followed her other love during her twenties. From art school to marriage to children and many a wild and wonderful journey in between, Rie has come home to her calling. Her work has been called edgy, daring, and some of the sexiest smut around.
