Let me start by saying, Riley Baxter never disappoints. 'Deacon' is another gripping addition to the BLP Motorcycle Clubs series, blending romance, suspense, and a touch of darkness that keeps you hooked.

The dynamic between Deacon and Squeak is electric. Deacon's instant recognition of Squeak as 'the one' is intense, while Squeak's hesitation due to past trauma adds layers to their relationship. Their chemistry is undeniable, and when she finally lets her guard down, it's pure fire.

One thing that stood out to me was the suspense element. Squeak's stalker storyline had me on edge—how did she keep this secret for so long? Deacon's protective instincts kick in hard, and his determination to shield her at all costs makes for some thrilling moments. His blend of wildness and tenderness with Squeak is fascinating; one minute he's reckless, the next he's utterly devoted.

That said, the pacing felt a bit rushed towards the end. The reveal of the 'boogeyman' lacked the punch I was hoping for—I wanted more buildup and drama. Still, the fast-moving plot kept me engaged throughout.

If you're into motorcycle club romances with a side of suspense, this one’s a solid pick. Just be ready for a whirlwind of emotions and a love story that defies comfort zones.
