Through good times, bad times and times of war, Cole “Rush” Allen grew up in the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Along this journey, he watched his father, Tack, and his MC brothers fight, sweat, bleed and die to steer the Club to legitimacy.
And they’ve got one more battle on their hands.
A battle they have to win.
But when Rush meets the woman who put herself right in the thick of it, he knows he has to stop at nothing to get her out.
Rebel Stapleton has lost someone she loves to murder and she’s the kind of woman who’s going to do something about it. She puts her career on the line, and her life, to bring the man who did it to justice.
That is, she does this until Rush Allen intervenes.
Chaos is at war and they’re about to face the ultimate showdown. They’ll have to negotiate skeletons from the past, enemies becoming allies, and loved ones in the line of fire on their ride to be…
Free.

“My name is Rush Allen,” the leader of the pack said.
“Well, you already know my name, so consider us introduced,” I
returned.
He nodded once. “We need to talk about what you’re doing with
Benito Valenzuela.”
“This is where we disagree, Mr. Allen.”
He leaned forward, his leather creaking, putting his elbows to
his knees, and he tipped his dark head back.
This was a bad position. His legs were spread, his faded jeans
tight on his knees, I could see their formation, and like everything about him,
it was sexy. Especially them leading into thick thighs. More on the especially
with his long-fingered, rough, veined hands. And adding to all that, with the
arch of his neck, the column of his muscled throat was exposed above the collar
of his cream thermal, and if his hair demanded your fingers buried in it, his
throat demanded your lips trailing down it.
I wouldn’t allow myself to let my eyes roam to his package. If
it was as good as the rest, shit might go south for me…fast.
Man, I was in trouble.
“I know about Diane,” he said softly.
My gaze shot from his throat to those crystal eyes, and my
breath lodged in my chest because of his tone.
It was beautiful, full of warmth and sadness and understanding.
So much of all that, if he’d been there when Diane had died, and
he’d cooed to me in that voice (perhaps while he held me in his arms and I
smelled leather and tang), maybe things would have been different. Maybe I
wouldn’t have let that fire ignite in my belly. Maybe I wouldn’t have fanned
those flames until it was an inferno that had built out of even my control.
I straightened my spine.
“You need to pull back so you don’t become Diane, Rebel,” he
advised.
“Benito Valenzuela didn’t kill my friend,” I informed him.
“You don’t know who did that,” he informed me.
“I do know. And it was not Benito Valenzuela.”
“You think it was Arthur Lannigan.”
I leaned toward him. “No. I know it was Arthur
Lannigan.”
“Let Hank and Eddie prove that,” he urged.
Oh yeah.
He knew Hank and Eddie.
Shit.
“They have.” (Uh, mostly.) “They just can’t find him.”
“And you think you can.”
“I know I can.”
“By playing Valenzuela and Harrietta Turnbull to get to him?”
“By doing whatever I have to do.”
“So you get dead, your neck snapped like Diane’s, what’s Diesel
gonna do?”
I abruptly leaned back in my chair.
Damn Eddie Chavez.
5 Stars
Free is the sixth and final title in the Chaos MC series, and whilst it's a bittersweet ending, it's also incredibly captivating and engaging. Chaos may be a motorcycle club, but they are also family. The men and women of Chaos are there for each other through thick and thin.
Free is a complex story of revenge, loyalty, love, loss, forgiveness and redemption. As anyone who is familiar with Kristen's work will expect this title is packed full of twists and turns and the men of Chaos and their women, face down their adversaries to live a life of legitimacy. Free ties together all the loose ends and all Chaos' rivalries and conflicts come to a head.
Rush Allen has appeared in every Chaos title, but predominately in the background, he was still somewhat of an unknown quantity, when compared to not only his family, but the other members of Chaos. Rush shares many of the personality traits of his father, Track including his loyalty, bossiness and protectiveness. Whilst his actions and intentions are honest and honorable, and quite virtuous, he also has a fun and witty side to his character.
Rebel has a huge heart, she's kind, caring, compassionate and resilient. When she puts her mind to something she's quite unstoppable and is determined to put everyone else's needs before her own. She shares quite a few traits with previous Chaos heroines including her independence, intelligence, strength, courage and determination.
Although there is violence, darkness and loss, Free is an emotional story full of heat, heart and humor. I adored Essence, who brings levity that perfectly balances the darker undertones.
As with all of Kristen's previous titles the banter is witty, sassy, fun and flirtatious, and I love that the women of Chaos know just which buttons to push to bring their alpha men to their knees.
As much as it was bittersweet it was also wonderful to revisit so many characters from the Chaos series, I loved that so many favourites from Kristen's other titles also appeared within this story line.
