Publisher's summary

Single mother.

Laid off factory worker.

Drug runner for the Heaven Hill Motorcycle Club.

When Denise Cunningham is served with foreclosure papers on her birthday it's the last straw in a long line of bad luck. Sitting and crying about things has never been how she solved her problems, but this time she decides to do just that. A phone call interrupts her pity party and changes the course of her life forever.

Loyal brother.

Grease monkey mechanic.

Vice President of the Heaven Hill Motorcycle Club.

William Walker Jr., known as Liam to his club, needs a new recruit who is just naïve enough and desperate enough to do what he asks without question. When Denise Cunningham lands in his lap, he decides to hire her - not because he wants to, because he has to.

Neither are comfortable in their new roles, but he needs help and she can't stand to lose anything else.

As bullets fly and a local Bowling Green, KY reporter works to bring the club down, Liam and Denise find themselves getting closer to one another. When the stakes get high and outside forces try to keep them away from each other, they have to decide if they really are meant to be.

An MC Book that made me laugh!

Not only did the MC deliver angst, mystery, suspense and all around badassery but the family dynamics in this book truly pulled me in. Single mom with two 13 yr olds accidentally being pulled into the MC lifestyle. Liam, Heaven Hill's VP learning to forgive his mother, standing up to his father and becoming a man Denise can trust with her heart and her kids. Very well written and performed. I'll be purchasing both author and narrator again.

I wish there were more of this series on audibooks. I loved the books. Need more in the series

Pretty good

The story line was a little simplistic, and I didn't entirely understand the main female. She talked about her change, but I just felt like it was a little too bleh. It was an alright read, though.

it was predictable and blan

in all honesty, it was just ok. I finished it so it wasn't aweful. it was so predictable and there was nothing surprising. It lacked imagination. I guess you have S.O.A. to thank for that. And personally I didn't care for the narrator.

Well.... MUST READ!

I remember reading this book for the very first time. I was about 17/18. Came upon it by boredom, I'm so glad I did. I was hooked. It was very intense and some situation in the book make me cringe and just want to stop reading not because the book was bad but because of some of the scenario's, they were graphic. Overall this book was amazing! Laramie, YOU THE BEST!!

A Different Take on MC Romance

This book delivers all the traditional MC tropes... the illicit behavior, badass bikers and delicious sexiness. Then it focuses on the character development and growth as both main characters learn to be stronger, to be who they're meant to be. Thier story was well written but lacked a little in the narration. Still, it's worth a chance.

I review for the Guilty Indulgence Review Site.

A Bunch of Criminals

Would you recommend Meant to Be to your friends? Why or why not?

There were definitely some conflicting emotions revolving around this book. On the one hand, you are really rooting for Denise and Liam to get together, but on the other you don't really want Denise to be drawn further into this criminal world. Although this book doesn't necessarily end on a cliffhanger, there are a lot of important questions left unanswered.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator of this audio book reminded me of a mix between Dr. Phil and that informative talking DNA strand from the original Jurassic Park film. While he was relating the amorous exploits of our lead characters, I kept expecting him to switch gears and talk about dinosaurs.

Any additional comments?

I feel like in most romance novels revolving around a motorcycle club, the members of the club are just minding their own business when they are somehow drawn into a kerfuffle with another club/gang. They just want to be free and ride like the wind. This book was a little different. Instead of it focusing on our biker bad boy rescuing his woman from a rival gang, it tells a tale of Liam drawing Denise further into his world. And it doesn't necessarily consist of law-abiding citizens.

amazing

I love the Heaven Hills series and to be able to listen to Meant to Be while doing housework or drive is great. I love Liam and Denise. They are just the cute couple.

Meant to be

This was a fast paced, suspenseful, and action packed story. It was told by multiple POV’s. It was hard to follow at times, I was not sure if it was because there was only one narrator reading all of it.
