Preacher: Rapid City Stories, Book 1

What a captivating, and heart warming story! West has done it again! After listening to the Burnout series, I was excited to learn about the spin off, Rapid City Stories, and it's first story, Preacher. West does an outstanding job developing a plot that is well balanced with humor, drama, violence, steamy sex scenes with plenty of dirty talk, and a awesome HEA. What I liked even more than the plot, was the character development.

As leader of a MC club, Preacher has done a lot of bad things in his life, but when he is left for dead, he is forced to leave Rapid City to recover, and plot his revenge. He eventually finds himself on a ranch where he meets Erin. Their first encounter is not on the friendliest of terms, but they will soon learn they both need each other. Erin is strong independent women who is trying to prove she can make it, but in reality she needs assistance to run the ranch, and Preacher is the perfect person. As the days pass, and these two become closer, we see Preacher's character transform from the harden biker to a loveable man who is crazy about his women and dog. Their journey was fun to hear unfold, from the laugh out loud moments, playful banter to the steamy sex scenes. You can't help but to fall in love with these two characters. When trouble comes knocking, Preacher will whatever it takes to keep Erin safe.

Mason Lloyd did outstanding job narrating this story, and was able to portray the characters, and emotions flawlessly. I sure hope there are plans to release West's other series in audio! I'm definitely on-board for any future books by the West/Lloyd team!

I loved this book. It made me laugh and even shed a tear or two. I REALLY like the narrator. I will be listening to it again without a doubt. I loved how the brought in a few of the characters from the Burnout series. Nice to see Jack and Chris patch things up. Finally Rawlings gets what he deserves!!!! There were a few inconsistencies. and editing was a bit weird in a few instances but over all I really loved it.

Jake! He was sweet and protected his family. Loving and strong.

I LOVED the fight between Jake and the rooster! I LOVED IT! It was hilarious. I laughed so hard i cried. "Cock-a-doodle-do Mother Fucker!" LOL!

I laughed mostly and my heart was touched, with a little teardrop here and there.

Very good writing.

Preacher is the president of a biker gang called the Buzzard's. The Buzzard's own the "drug trade" in Rapid City. The book is about gang life, prostitutes, and dirty cops. And of course change. I won't say I was disappointed in his character. His character was fairly well written. I didn't care for the story line.

This is the first book I've listened to from Dahlia West. I purchased it based on the reviews and story line. This book was too violent and sexually crude for me. If this book is typical of her writing, I won't be listening or reading any more of her books. I regret finishing it and not returning it after the first 2 chapters.

I haven't listened to Mason Lloyd before. I liked the performance he gave, even though I didn't like the story.

I would have cut the scene in the beginning when Preacher Killed two of his gang members for betrayal.

At times I found it hard to follow what was going on. There were moments where Preacher is remembering his past, however there was no lead in to that memory. The first time he started a memory I actually backed up the story thinking I had missed something. The author did this several times throughout the book, each time I kept thinking I was lost. Without giving a spoiler alert, I didn't care much for the ending. I could come up with at least two other possible endings which would have made more sense.

I really enjoyed this book!!! Great narrator and good story line! I would suggest listening/reading the Burnout series first - it gives you a little insight on some of the characters. This book kept my interest from beginning to end! Love , romance, suspense and HOT scenes - loved it!!

I saw the potential for this character, while listening to the Burnout series. I was so hoping that he would choose a different life, like his childhood best friend, Chris. ( AKA "Shooter" from the Burnout series) Have you ever met a person who has been stripped of their humanity, due to the horrible things they have lived through? Despite that, however, you can still see the pieces of goodness, in their soul? Preacher's character had that vibe, in the previous series. I'm so glad I bought this book. It is not only a romance but it has some encounters between Jack and a small rooster that had me laughing so hard. I almost wet my pants. It also had parts that made me cry. Listen to the Burnout series first, then get this one. you won't regret it.

I loved the fighting between Jack and the rooster. Oh I laugh so much with those two. I did like that Jack and Chris work things out. Erin and Jack had a great connection between them.

Loved the rooster! This was a wonderful, wonderful way to show Preacher. Nice to hear how the rest of the group was doing!

I was surprised but I enjoyed this books and the rest of his books I well listen to it again

I really liked all of the books in this series but this was one of my favorites. Fast easy listen. Keeps interest from beginning to end. Narration excellent.
