A past confronts the present and dictates the future in S.Cole's The Deals We Make for an emotional and consequential read!
Tiberius "Vex" Williams had tried to make peace with his life's path but underlying his seeming acceptance was a feeling of unsettled business and what if's. Vex easily took on the mantle of devoted and loyal with his strong sense of responsibility. Calista Moray was too smart for her own good and accompanied by her beauty she was constantly on the defensive in life.
This couple came with past baggage that complicated their relationship. They were not even each other's the one that got away but the unfinished business that held their future happiness captive. Their steamy attraction fogged their clarity when it came to making rational decisions where their relationship was concerned and made for some feisty interactions. When this pair recognized their feelings for each other and accepted them they fell hard as all the obstacles of the past got swept aside.
As a series the Iron Outlaws dealt with an abundance of serious and dark issues but this author found a way to lighten the heaviness of her characters burdens with humor and the bonds of friendship. There were many comedic moments in this series in a subgenre that often does not have them. Socially aware Ms. Cole offered insightful story lines and did not shy away from confronting difficult subject matter.
S. Cole aka Scarlett Cole is all about exploring her character's feelings from every angle possible. With heartfelt writing this author offers genuine stories that are aimed at her readers' hearts. As the New Jersey chapter of the Iron Outlaws wraps up and the Colorado Chapter of the Iron Outlaws awaits its debut, S. Cole takes the bittersweet ending of one series and leaves readers eagerly anticipating another!

*While part of a series this book can be read as a stand alone, but for an overall enhanced reading experience reading the previous books in this series is suggested.*
