Love thy enemy.
Steele went from hometown hero to jarhead and took his best buddy, Abe, along for the ride. After Abe died in the line of duty, Steele quit the Corps and joined the Four Horsemen MC. Now his club brother, Coyote, has been taken by a rival MC and Steele fears the worst. He calls in Ash, a security contractor who specializes in kicking ass.
As a teenager, Ash fell hard for Steele, but that went south after her twin brother, Abe, died. They're bitter enemies with plenty of unfinished business. Will these enemies become lovers? And can Ash and Steele find Coyote before it's too late?

I am a huge fan of this series. Who doesn't love a chance to read about Sexy X-Military men who belong to an MC. This story is all about playboy Steel.
Steel has been known to love em and leave em, but he only loves has ever loved one woman, and he walked away from her. That girl is Ash and she is comes back into Steel's life ready to make him pay for all her hurt.
Steel has had a string of bad luck, his best brother Yo (Coyote)has been kidnapped and Steel was knifed up by the Raptors.
Steel is trying to find Coyote to bring him home alive. Along the way Steel will have to relive all his demons and pick up some more along the way. We see the real Steel in Shot to Hell.
We get more information on the Dixie Mafia, hear from the Brothers of Four Horseman and be introduced to some new characters. Rayne takes us on a wild ride around Hell.

This story is by far one of the top three of this series. Steel brings the love, respect in away we get to see him become a better man, brother and lover. His love interest Ash is one tough cookie but she also has her demons. This book is about Steel and Ash forgiving, forgetting and letting go so they can live life again. Rayne will make you laugh, cry and give you sexy time that is hot as hell.

Good read 3 1/2 stars

I liked this one and then I didn't.

The good parts were about healing and forgiving.

I had issues that an MC with lots of resources and a mafia with the same had so much trouble finding a hick MC and Coyote. It seems like all they did was sit and wait and have drama while the poor boy was being tortured. That was totally unrealistic and to me devalued Coyote. I would be pissed if I was Coyote.

There were so many issues in this one it was hard to count. PTSD, survivors guilt, twin connection, selfishness, past love, past mistakes, anger, man whoring, commitment trouble, present mistakes, suicide, dark side....need I say more and I think that I missed some. I found Steele very hard to like and he needed the crap beat out of him continually. I still don't think he redeemed himself in any shape or fashion.

Good in ways yet utterly frustrating,

I am a huge fan of this series in general but I absolutely love Steel. I am a sucker for a good story involving a Marine (or 2) but, I love the running story line of Hell and the 4 Horseman.

I am constantly impressed that Cynthia Rayne is capable of writing a story that exists on so many different levels. It keeps the story line fresh while building the anticipation for the next book in the series before you even have an opportunity to finish the one your reading.

Steel's story didn't disappoint. I love the development of his relationship with Ash and the way that we learn about their shared history as their story unfolds.

I also love the 4 Horsemen. Everyone who comes home from serving should be as lucky as these guys are to find one another. I genuinely enjoy the easy with which they understand and aide each other with no censure.

I can't wait for the next installment. Don't miss out!

Oh how I love reading about the Four Horsemen. There’s just something about these self-proclaimed vigilantes that draws me in. This installment focuses around Steele and Ash and their shared focus of finding a rival MC, cartel, some missing drugs, a fellow Horsemen...just to list a few things. Not a big deal, right? Throw in the mafia and you have a suspenseful action packed story. And while this book has everything I mentioned above...what this story is truly about is redemption and second chances. Unlike most of the other couples we’ve fallen in love with throughout this series, Steele and Ash have an emotional backstory/history which broke my heart to read at times. You couldn’t help but root for them the entire time. As usual the author has done a great job with the world building and moving the series along. Which leaves the reader pondering what is in store next for the Four Horsemen. I have my fingers crossed and I’m hoping that one of my favorites gets his happy ending soon.

I’m sorry but I’m going to be perfectly honest and the only thing I know how to be…blunt. I didn’t think I could dislike a heroine in this series more than Daisy….I was wrong I hated Ash, she was a flaming fucking cunt. I’m sorry but for the love punching men in the nose, kicking them in the balls, and acting like a raving cold nasty bitch does not make you a bad ass….it makes you a flaming bitch ass. Ash ruined this story as far as the “romance” part, I just didn’t give a shit about her or her using Ace or getting with Steele or anything else about her…at all.

I wasn’t exactly crazy about Steele either I mean the man’s a pig from hell but reading this I actually felt bad for him for many reasons. He certainly deserved better than being stuck with this raving bitch, that would apparently have been happier if he was dead along with her brother….hell nobody deserved to be stuck with this bitch. Of course I will admit I always wanted to see him end up with Jane but at least I get to read about her and Byron…..

Anyway I realized the only way to finish this was to skim Ash and all her assholery because clearly she wouldn’t get her ass handed to her like she absolutely deserved, that I would have been more than happy to read even if it was Daisy that delivered it…hell it would have redeemed Daisy for me if she’d have beaten this bitch down. Because I’m sorry but if you hit someone, man or not, for asinine reasons and you deserve to get hit back…period.

So I skimmed/skipped anything that involved her bitch ass just to be sure I didn’t miss anything vital to any ongoing plot or anything about the club, Justice, or Coyote. I will give Justice’s book a shot because I already liked Etta and I was intrigued by Justice’s issues.

Honestly the rest of the story was well written and I enjoyed it, but I would like to have been able to be happy for Steele while reading this one and I wasn’t….I pitied him.

You will hope for these two!

I love broken characters. They make the best happy endings and your heart go ahhh. Steel and ash are broken over the same thing and they are stuck in a repeating cycle because of it.Can two people who truly think they can never find calm and happiness come out on the other side together?

3.5. I liked the characters and overall the book was ok. The plot for me was a little all over the place. It was slow at parts and the characters wined a lot. I felt disconnected from the book more than I normally do because the drama didn't flow for me.

I love this series but for some reason, I could not connect with this book. Steele was a good person and tried his best, but I did not like Ash. Ten years prior, Steele was in the marines with Abe, Ashton's twin brother. One night when Steele left his post, Abe got killed and Ash has blamed him ever since. Fast forward to the present and she's in Hell looking for a lead while Steele is looking for Coyote who's been kidnapped. They decide to work together to follow the lead that they're both look for. Steele is feeling guilty for both Abe and Coyote and Ash just keeps making shit worst. I did not like her, I could not like her, she can't seem to understand that if Steele had stayed that night she would have lost her two people that she loved. Yea she was badass, she was also a marine but she was reckless and she was suicidal, because she lost her other half. Steele tried with her, he was nice, he tried to show her around the club but she refused to listen to him. In the end she does finally forgive him and fall back in love with him, but she was a bitch and Steele was closed off to everyone except for Coyote.

Heart wrenching

Every time I saddle up and ride with the horsemen is like riding with old friends and family. I fall in love again and again and ugh my heart I laugh I cry and at the end the horsemen take another piece of me with them. Its a ride or die kind of love and well I'm not dead yet on to the next

>Book Review – Shot to Hell –

>I am an independent reviewer. This is the seventh book in the Four Horsemen MC series and ends in an HEA. Steele is the confident, selfish man whore of the MC. His action over the years created situations he will never get over. Learning how to live with himself is tough, though, so he throws himself into women. One of his mistakes caused his buddy, Coyote, to be kidnapped. While searching for Coyote, he runs across a ghost from his past.

>Ash is the twin sister to Steel’s buddy, Abe. Abe died in the service and Steele was indirectly responsible. The strong feelings between Ash and Steele never let up. At first there is hatred, then sorrow, until we finally get love. Ash isn’t just a twin looking for vengeance. The description of how she feels without her twin is heartbreaking.

>A few new stories are set up in this book, especially the PTSD of Justice and the aftermath of Coyote’s imprisonment. Each book in this series is similar in plot, but the author does a great job making each story unique. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this story 5 stars.

I had a hard time waiting for this book, but it was so worth the wait! I couldn't wait to see what happened with Coyote, and to find out what it was going to take to finally bring down the Horseman's manwhore! Steele definitely met his match with Ashton, and I loved every minute of it! Even though they knew one another since childhood, he had unintentionally hurt her beyond what either of them believed she could ever get over, especially when he never would. This is another great story that has lots of violence, mayhem, murder, suspense, secrets revealed, and about learning how to forgive and being able to move forward. There's so many tragedies, past and present, that affect them all. Will they find Coyote in time? Will Ashton ever be able to forgive Steele and learn how to live again? Will Steele ever forgive himself for all his mistakes? Trust me, you definitely want to read this one to find out!
I strongly recommend this book and series!

This Horsemen book was a bit dark, and serious, however it was really a good read. I think th I book is a pivotal point for the series, but of course I maybe wrong. I received an ARC, in addition to my preordered book; so I didn't get a free book for a review, although I would be honest either way.
The darker tone didn't detract from the story, but I will say the ending is the reason for a lost star. The ending seemed to lack the tying of loose ends, and didn't allude to what's to come. It just kinda hung there.
The rest of the book kept my interest, and it kept me turning the pages quickly. Some of the scenes didn't have the chemistry while others seemed to explode with it.
Long end of the short is if you are a series fan this is a must read. If you are just starting this isn't one to start with. I would read it again, but not for a while because it makes me feel too much.

I have to admit I am a little obsessed with this series and I read way passed my bedtime to finish this latest installment. The book had a little bit more of a darker mood for me, since it dealt with how we cope with loss and I found myself tearing up a couple of times, not something I usually like to do. But the sexual tension between Steele and Ash was great and I liked the plot line. Plenty of suspense though not as many steamy scene's as I would have liked. Since this is book 7 I usually recommend reading the previous books in order to catch up, but I think you could enjoy this book without any difficulty. I am looking forward to the next book since Voo is one of my favorite characters.

I wish this system would let me give a 4.5 star review. I enjoyed this book. I've read all the books in the series. This is one of my favorites. Steele and Ash stayed with me which is always a good sign that the story was well written and touching.

The push and pull between Steele and Ash is strong as is their chemistry. Getting to know Steele better after little snippets of him in the other books was nice. It's an trying but worthwhile ride to take with Steele and Ash. This story is a standalone that has a lead in to the next book and as always I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Another great book in this series. Steele is living in a nightmare from his past. His guilt consumes him and is only made worse when a person from his past returns. In the Marines he goofed off and the result he got or so he thinks his best friend killed. When his friends twin sister shows up the guilt comes back tenfold. Ashton blames Steele for her brothers death and cannot forgive him. She puts herself in danger daily in her job as she feels empty inside without her twin. This is a book of two broken souls who try to mend eachother.

Really Good

Okay it's always great to have my fix of the boys from the Four Horsemen.This story about Steele and Ash was a little different,a little more darker and tad bit more intense.This was well written moved at such a steady pace you are just so anxious to get to the n ext chapter.The chemistry is so sexy a d you love anytime the two are a scene.A really good story a worthy addition to one of the best series have read.

First let me start by saying I love this series and Hell's town and its resident bad boys.
However I could not connect with Ash at all... I mean holding this grudge when obviously Steele could have done nothing much to change the course of history, except getting killed as well?
Or was it her misplaced attraction, that led her to this kind of hatred?
Anyway I couldn't wrap my head around her and it made the book lose a star for me

Loved this next story in the Four Horsemen MC series. Wonderfully written story bringing two emotional broken people together in order to find another Horseman that had been kidnapped. An emotional ride that brought them both some healing and closure. Love how these characters found their closure, healing, and HEA. Totally recommend this book. Thank you, Cynthia, for another great book.

Great MC series. This is book 7 and it is every bit as exciting as book 1 thru 6. Shot To Hell is about the President Steele and his one-time love Ash who is now his no. one enemy. Ash and her Twin brother Abe grew up with Steele, Then Abe followed Steele into the service where he dies. Now Steele and Ash must work together to save one of the Four Horsemen.
