Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Devney Perry comes a small-town, surprise-pregnancy romance.

Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she’s pregnant with his child, he’s certain he’s died and gone to hell. 

Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she’d stayed far, far away from Leo. 

Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she’s forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn’t understand? 

Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart. 

If only he’d stop playing the fool.

🔸 WOW.. IT DEFINITELY TICKED ALL OF MY BOXES 🔸

Five books in now and I’m still absolutely loving all the alpha members of the disbanded Tin Gypsy MC and these brothers have a tight bond of friendship with each other.. they’re loving, supportive, possessive, loyal alphas to the women they love.. and become fierce protectors for their families. But, in Leo’s case, it’s guilt over past sins in his biker dark lifestyle that initially stops him from claiming the red-headed Firecracker Cass who he’d had a very memorable one night stand with. Fortunately for Leo, Cassandra is a very forgiving woman because she is willing to give him plenty of chances to get it right.. to get his emotions under control.. and to step-up and be a supportive Father in their unplanned baby’s life.

The road to happiness isn’t going to be easy for either of them and disappointment will be felt by Cass more than just once.. but, if and when Leo finally let’s his heart overrule his head, Cass will be there with open arms and with forgiveness and love for a man who doesn’t think he deserves any or it. And, through impressive character growth and a very loving, generous, supportive partner, Leo becomes the wonderful caring man I always knew he could be. But the life-threatening chilling ‘accidents’ that keep happening to him are becoming deadly and very very suspicious.. who is behind it?.. why are they happening?.. and just what are they capable of to get revenge?

Worth a credit? Oh boy yes, and I get so excited when there’s even a whiff of a new release from awesome author Devney Perry - especially her Tin Gypsy series which has me searching the Preorder List with finger poised ready to buy as soon as the book gets listed. And, with this book number 5, I wasn’t disappointed because there’s angst and relationship anxiety.. drama and action.. suspense, tension and danger.. and lust, love and loyalty. Plus there’s a secondary cast of preloved characters from past books, a strong worthy heroine and a drool-worthy alpha hero.. and sizzles, sex and plenty of delicious sigh-worthy touching sentiments too. Lucy and Jason ( ..love you Jason💕) fit the dual POV storyline and its characters perfectly and their five star narration brought the characters, the feels, the heat and the heart to life.. well done guys.

Addicting Romantic Suspense!

“Leo was temptation personified, rugged sex appeal entangled with the thrill of the forbidden. He was the flame I’d known would burn but I’d touched it anyway.”⁣
⁣
This accidental pregnancy, small town romance absolutely hit the spot! Add in the fact that we get the suspense and mystery of the trouble still surrounding the men of the Tin Gypsy Motorcycle Club and this is a must listen story! Leo definitely made me work to fall in love with him, he never had intentions of being in love or starting a family, but with the accidental pregnancy with Cass, his priorities shifted and I couldn’t resist loving his tender side. Cass had been through hell and survived to then find herself potentially raising a child on her own if Leo didn’t let his guard down. I loved Cass’s heart and her sass, she gave Leo so many chances to see that he was the man who deserved to be a father and have a woman by his side for all of it. She knew he was worth the heartache, plus they definitely had chemistry in SPADES and created some heat between the sheets, or desk for that matter! HOT dangggggg.⁣

“Her love intertwined with the threadbare strands of my soul. A miracle. A miracle I hadn’t earned, but one I’d be grateful for each and every day. A miracle I’d cling to for the rest of my days. My Cass. My Firecracker.”⁣
⁣
Though the Tin Gypsy’s disbanded, the brotherhood didn’t die with the end of the motorcycle club. These men created a family bound by honor and a mutual respect for everything they had survived, that “made” family dynamic is one of my favorite parts of this series. They opened their hearts and welcomed Cass into the fold, even before Leo had wised up. And HOLY cow, that epilogue, I am SO READY for Tin Queen!! This series is utterly addicting!!

Leo.....

Out of all the Tin Gypsy books, this one touched my heart the most. I absolutely love a story of redemption, especially when it comes to love. Leo is so hard around the edges, but hearing about his past, he definitely has his reasons. I can admit that Cass irritated me at times. Not giving Leo a chance to explain when things looked a certain way did not sit well with me. He showed his feelings and let down his own walls for her, and she trampled on that. I love the camaraderie between the families and how they look out for one another. Cassandra's father was rightfully pissed, but I was happy to see him and Leo find a common ground. I could listen to these books over and over. Each one is unique, but tie together perfectly. I'm looking forward to the next book. I hope this series continues into the children's lives as they grow. Lucy and Jason brought such life to these characters. They felt tangible and I felt every emotion from both characters.

Another great book

I think each book in this series gets better. This is the 5th book and is about Cass and Leo who had a one night stand that ended in a pregnancy. Eo doesn't think he's worthy of Cass and being a father. Cass stands by him and tries to convince him that he's better than he thinks. When danger comes, will Leo be able to keep Cass and their baby safe? Devney Perry writes wonderful stories. I liked listening to Lucy Rivers and Jason Clarke narrate this book. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Great addition to an awesome series

Another great addition to this series. After reading Nobel Prince and meeting Cassie as well as finding out about her “predicament” I couldn’t wait to see her story play out. I have to admit Leo is now my favorite of the Tin Gypsies! He seemed to play a minor role within the series until now!

Cassie’s background story broke my heart a little, I do have to admit it seemed a bit overkill at times but as I have not lived her truth, I am not one to judge. She needed a Leo in her corner even though he took his precious time in getting to that place.

A one-night stand turning into an unexpectant pregnancy was just what this series needed. We now have the dirty cops, the jealous exes, the sibling drama, and unexpectant pregnancies! After finishing this book, I cannot wait for Emmett and Nova’s story, the deceit, treachery and betrayal will be pouring from the pages!

As with all of Devney Perry’s books I purchased this one in audio and as usual Lucy Rivers and Jason Clarke were exceptional! There have been different narrators throughout this series, but their duet was my favorite so far!

Worth it

I enjoyed this book but it wasn’t my favorite in the series. The relationship between Leo and Cassie didn’t really hit the mark for me until more than halfway through the book. I understand that falling head over heels would not have fit with Leo’s character so it makes sense that their relationship was more drawn out.
I will still continue on with this series because I really like the characters and the premise.

Love this...

Great story along with the best male narrator ever. Can’t wait to check out the others in this series...

Love this series!

This is, I think, the 5th book in this series with one more to go and I will be so sad when it is over. I have loved this series from the beginning as I have been a Deveny Perry fan for several years now. And once her books have gone audio, I am in hog heaven. Leo and Cassandra had quite a road to get to their HEA, but I rooted for them all the way. Love the secondary characters from previous books who all make a family that as I am listening I feel such a part of.

I truly enjoyed the narration of Jason Clarke and Lucy Rivers. They make a fine narration team. All in all, I loved the book and love this series.

A must listen in this series!

I couldn’t wait for this one. The love hate relationship with Leo is strong and his redemption so sweet. I loved Cass and her strength. The suspense element is strong in this storyline and can’t wait for the conclusion in Tin Queen. A great addition to this series!

This series is everything

Although I think I said each new book in the series has been my favorite I am pretty sure Leo's story may really be my favorite. There is something about a story when the lead character feels they are so flawed that they are undeserving of anything good that just makes you love their story, especially when they are not whiny but instead an alpha male that comes across as genuine. This is the first series of Devney Perry's that I have read and once again I will be waiting to start book 6, I hope it comes out soon. Jason Clarke and Lucy Rivers are phenomenal narrators.

Sweet dreams, little. Leo has my heart

Just when I thought I couldn’t love another Devney Perry hero, she goes and brings out the big guns, Leo Freaking Winters, and once again I’m quickly reminded why I’ll always trust her with my fragile, HEA loving heart, and hold on for the bumpy ride!

Leo and Emmett have always been the two Tin Gypsies whose stories have intrigued me as much as they’ve scared me. Although they’ve been a main part of the series so far, their life away from the garage hasn’t seen much action, but their confirmed bachelorhood and escapades have been made crystal clear. As I said before though, this is a Devney Perry book, and that should have clued me in that there was absolutely nothing to worry about!

After a one night stand ends in an accidental pregnancy, Cass and Leo are thrown together into a situation neither knows how to navigate. Whilst Cass chooses calm acceptance, Leo chooses anger, trying to scare Cass away, especially when past rivalries threaten her safety. Leo soon discovers though, Cass can live without him, but he’s not so sure he can live without her.

Cass was the crown jewel in this story, her calm assuredness, her quiet determination and her full acceptance of Leo, his treatment of her and his mountains of baggage made her a kick butt heroine, you can’t help but love.

Leo is... well I spent a lot of time either wanting to slap, shake or scream at Leo, but when it really came down to it and we finally get to see behind the wall of self loathing, doubts and insecurities that plague him, how much Draven’s loss impacted on him, and how the disbandment of the club left him adrift, well you just can’t help but love him. I just knew I was going to lose my heart to him, which I 100% did.

Once again, Devney has waved her magic wand and written a story that is not only an unconventionally beautiful romance, has twists, turns, action and drama, but has so much heart, highlighting once again that families aren’t always blood related, and although there might be losses and compromises to make along the way, if you’re all in, you will always end up the winner.

I can’t preach enough about Devney’s writing, each book, each series brings something new, I never thought I’d like a motorcycle club member, let alone love them heart and soul, but that’s the magic of her stories.

Fallen Jester is undoubtedly a 5 star read, along with every book in the series, get your copy and get lost in the Tin Gypsy world, it’s a special place to be.
