Rafe (The Wounded Sons Book 4)

I really liked this book it had so many twists and turns but I enjoyed the ride. I love that we got to meet Peyton in the previous book so she wasn’t a brand new character. Her and Rafe’s connection started in a horrible way but their love and progression flowed perfectly. This book ties up some loose ends while giving us more to look forward to so… on to Cole!!!

This book left me completely astounded! That ending! OMG! My heart hurts! And I can't wait for the next book, because I know that the author has something big in store for us. But still! Rafe has had a hard life. And just when he thinks things are starting to look up, they always get worse. His past has taught him that he can't depend on anyone but himself, and his team. But what he didn't expect, was that with his team, came the Wounded Souls MC, and everyone that comes with that family. But he has secrets. Secrets that he has hidden from everyone. And he is about to find out what happens when hidden secrets don't stay hidden. Peyton's life has been one tragedy right after another. But, with the help of the Wounded Souls, she is picking herself up and putting herself back together again. The question is, will she ever be put together enough to move on completely? Rafe and Peyton's story is dramatic, and surprising, and absolutely beautiful! I read their story in one sitting (when I probably should have been doing something else! LOL), unable to put it down. It was definitely a whirlwind, spinning my emotions in totally different directions! And that ending! It's not a cliffie (which I hate!) but definitely sets the stage for the next book. I'm definitely looking forward to the next story, but in the mean time, I think it's time to do a full re-read!

Friends Peyton and Rafe have always been close, but Rafe finds that he is haunted from a person from the past and is struggling with his growing feelings for Peyton as more then friends. Rafe has always known he wanted to be in the military to serve his country, but a failed marriage has him questioning if Peyton can handle the demand of being a sniper for Team Five, a commando unit. Peyton is struggling with her own demons but when Rafe lets it known he wants more, she quickly knows he is who she needs in her life. The only problem is danger is still lurking. Terrific story, was not sure how this one would go because you did not get a lot of Peyton before this book. I really enjoyed this couple, they were a perfect match.

I have loved this series since His Sweetness with the OG's and it continues with The Wounded Sons. Rafe and Peyton have both suffered pain and loss so young in their life. I love how he calls her Bunny and the reason behind it. When Bunny opens up to him about her past he still can't fully open up about his due to the guilt he still carries. When truths come to light and an old threat could take Bunny from him will be fully open up to her about his past and will she be able to forgive him? Pick up this book to fing out. I suggest you start from the very beginning with The Wounded Souls I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This author has created another masterpiece! Rafe and Peyton are a couple you just love from the beginning. They grow as a couple in their chemistry, friendship and overall love. Both are survivors but have secrets. This is an emotionally charged story packed with danger, suspense, drama and loyalty. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series!

Wow oh wow!! This book is awesome! Peyton is my favorite so far! She is so strong, and just amazing. Rafe has been through a lot, and he is a wonderful guy. Even if you want to slap him a few times. This series just keeps getting better, which would seem impossible considering how awesome each book is!

Leah knows how to write the stories of the Wounded Souls MC. Military guys need strong support from the home front. Rafe and Peyton ate what love is all about. It's sensual, intense,painful and lovable. Keep writing great books. Please read all the Wounded Souls and now the Sons. Can't wait for Ghost and Deke books

I loved the original Wounded Souls so seeing the boys "all grown up" and finding their own place within the club is awesome! It feels like I'm revisiting old friends while learning new things about the kids who are not kids any more! Can't wait for the next one.

Immaturity, sex and marriage doesn’t mix, unfortunately Rafe and Payton finds that out the hard way. Tragedy for both brings them together can they trust enough to allow love to blossom. And with a killer after them this would be hard for anyone. You wont regret this read ladies and gents. 😉

Leah has become one of my automatic click to read. She bats a winner out of the writing office every time. Love all the characters and like keeping up with them as stories move on. Thank you Ms Sharelle.

Rafe and Payton story was phenomenal. Both Suffer the guilt of their past, enable to find redemption with each other.

First I fell in love with the Wounded Souls and now the Wounded Sons. Who knew I could love so many men at one time. Lol! I was pleasantly surprised to find out there's so much more to Rafe than what I thought. In the other books I thought he was just a quiet broody loner but now we get to know him inside and out. He is still quiet but he's hurting and he's been lonely for a long time and he's carrying guilt for something that he had no control over. Peyton is so sweet I loved her instantly. In some ways she alot like Rafe. She is hurting and lonely and has never felt love like the one she lost. There is a strong attraction between Rafe and Peyton and it started when Justin set fire to the animal clinic. Rafe looked into her amber eyes and his turkey was done! Watching the love grow between them is so heartwarming and sexy. Peyton starts to feel so strongly for Rafe that she decides to open her heart and confide in him about her painful past but Rafe keeps his locked up tight but wants to tell her so badly. As they start to get closer I started getting nervous because I knew something was gonna happen I just had no idea what but when sh*t hits the fan I couldn't sit still and couldn't read fast enough. Lol! I love when a book gets so exciting that I have to read faster to find out what happens next but then I hate that it ends that much faster. I never wanted this book to end, when trouble shows up I was almost in tears and then how things turn out left me feeling kinda conflicted. I was heartbroken for the family for the way things turned out but I was happy for Peyton and Rafe and then when Peyton reveals her secret I was so excited but also concerned. WOOH! talk about an emotional overload. Lol. Peyton and Rafe are so passionate the sex scenes are so hot I thought my ovaries were gonna explode. WOOH! I loved every minute of it. I was so consumed I didn't want to put it down. I am so in love with Rafe. Lol. I have to laugh because I say that alot. I have so many book boyfriends my spank bank is full for the next year. Lmao! Rafe and Peyton are so good for each other she's just so sweet you can't help but love her. I really hated for this book to end I need more and I can't wait for the next book so we also get to catch up with everyone else. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES TO EVERYONE!

Peyton and Rafe’s storyline took an unexpected turn from page 1. This was a couple I wasn’t sure where Leah was going to go with them and she blew me away. Peyton and Rafe has instant chemistry from day 1 when he saved her. Overtime their friendship blooms and there is no doubt they belong together. However they both have pasts that hold them back so it’s a struggle for them each to give in. Once they take their leap it’s amazing! But you know Leah can never leave them just to theirselves and someone has to come try and screw it up. I will say the drama in the book wasn’t expected in their story. I figured it would have been held out for another character but this only makes me question what Leah has up her sleeve for the future. Still traumatized over what she did to Darth makes me question if she is fixing to drop her hammer down and kill someone else. Totally uncalled for Leah! Lol You know how I feel about this. Keep your murdering of characters to the bad guys please! Be prepared for Leah to give you a cliffhanger for the next book. It will drive you mad wondering what is to come!

So excited for the next Wounded Souls installment! After the hysterics that happened in the last book, I was so excited to see what would happen to Justin and how the MC would handle the fallout from one of their own. Leah did not disappoint! Rafe has been attracted to Peyton since saving her from the fire, but he has baggage from his previous relationship that still has a hold on him years later. Thankfully, Peyton helps him start to grow and heal from that but not without misunderstandings. Peyton has built herself up since experiencing devastating loss at a young age, but the fire has really caused her to struggle to cope and move on. Determined to take her life back, she takes proper precautions in securing her home as well as asking Rafe to teach her basic self-defense in order to protect herself even further. Thankfully her decisions will come back to haunt her when Justin resurfaces, and the turn of events had me on the edge of my seat reading how everything unfolds. This is definitely a don’t miss book from Leah but also in this series, and I am so excited to see what happens in the next book as they handle the aftermath.

It is absolutely fantastic to be back in the world of the Wounded Sons and the Wounded Souls MC. Honestly, it’s like popping on your favorite pajamas and relaxing when you start this story. This fourth book in the series is every bit as good as the other three and it is so good to get to know Rafe better, the dark horse he was in the other books he is no longer! Peyton and Rafe met in book three and you could tell he there was an instant attraction but it seemed more like he wanted to protect her. Well, he does 😆, but oh so much more. They are absolutely fantastic together, their chemistry is combustible but their friendship is rock solid and that makes such a big difference. This story tackles some heavy issues and wow, are they handled well. Yes, I will admit tears did appear as I read certain scenes, one in particular where I was a bit surprised by my emotions but it just goes to show the quality of the writing. There are many humorous scenes with fun banter that have you chuckling out loud too. I loved the interaction with the Souls MC as well as The Flock, not only is it wonderful to revisit them because they are such solid, dependable characters but they are so funny too... oh and still sexy! 😉 There is a part of the story where they are a part of the focus and I don’t think I could ever forget how poignant it is and nor do I want to either. Another terrific story in this sensational series but be warned it is addictive and that ending is amazing! Reviewer: Robyn

Rafferty ‘Rafe’ Walsh went into his life knowing he wanted one thing and it was to join the military but when his wife had other plans, his marriage took a wrong turn. Now years later he is still struggling with choices he has made. Peyton Duncan hasn't had an easy road in life but she is trying to move forward and the man she wants is Rafe but they both have secrets, can they build on a foundation of hidden truths and secrets? I have to say that I loved how complex this story was, the characters were interesting and I couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what happened next. Leah Sharelle has a way of weaving a story around her readers and Rafe was a perfect example. This is a story about choices, truths and letting go. I loved every word!!!

This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. I loved the original series, The Wounded Souls, and the Wounded Son is right up there with them. I love the way the author lets us keep up with the cast of the Wounded Souls as they play a secondary role in each Wounded Sons addition. I have been anxiously awaiting Rafe and Peyton’s (AKA Bunny) story. Ever since he rescued her from the burning vet clinic, I knew their story was going to be intense and special and boy oh boy did the author ever not let me down. These two both have secrets. Things from their past that are holding them back from living a full life. Yet the pull between Rafe and Peyton is huge. They get each other. Their story is one full of suspense, tragedy, love and romance. Watching two people learn to trust and open up while the world around them is causing havoc made for an outstanding storyline. 2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars for Rafe. Plus I Highly recommend both series - they are all 5+ Star Reads.

This story was quite enjoyable we loved Rafe and Peyton's story. The story was filled with heart and soul, regrets and pain, and was filled with a ton of emotion and a lot of love. Rafe and Peyton went from friends to lovers and once they made the decision to turn the tide it was full throttle from there on out. As always we loved the interactions with the original members and as well as the second generation the teasing, camaraderie, the love, and the connection team 5 have for one another. The story took on a few and twists and turns and had more than a few surprises but, it also created a great deal of pain for one of our favorite couples and that broke our heart. Rafe and Peyton made the perfect couple, and we enjoyed their story of finding love in the present and for Rafe letting go of his guilt surrounding his past. The story ended wanting more, and we can't wait to happen next.

Rafe is a story that has you on an emotional roller coaster, where your heart will break and soar all at the same time. Rafe and Peyton had a connection the moment their eyes meet, however with pasts that have scarred their hearts these two hold each other in a friend zone while their souls try to grab hold of their other half. As these two finally give into what their hearts have craved, it might be secrets that destroy it all. A story that is passionate, heart wrenching, witty and action packed to keep you held hostage to the pages. As another Wounded Son steals our heart you will feel the chemistry that radiates between Rafe and Peyton deep under your skin. A story that touches your soul, delves into realistic issues and leaves you on the edge of your seat and counting down the days until the beeper goes off and Team FIVE are calling us back for more.

This is the 4th book in this amazing series and is the Rafe and Peyton’s story is a perfect addition. These two have been through so much in their lives, and from the moment they meet there is an instant connection as well as explosive chemistry between them. This is a beautifully written story which is emotionally charged, and is raw, gritty, action packed, and with secrets, danger, suspense, emotions, loyalty, friendships, and with witty banter which all leads to a humorous and entertaining tale. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.

I really enjoyed this story. Both Peyton and Rafe had rough pasts that they had kept secret. In order to give in to the attraction between them, they came clean with each other. I had tears in my eyes as Peyton relived her tale. They were hot together and worked through the danger surrounding them. I did not want to stop reading. I highly recommend this book, and I plan on reading the ones before. I received an ARC of this book, and this is my unsolicited review.

Rafe & Peyton They met when he rescued her from a maniac's attempt to kill her and her boss. He became her hero, friend, and eventually more. Both had pasts they didn't want to share. Would sharing them make a difference? She didn't want to lose his friendship. Being with him was the only thing that kept her feeling safe. Still, she supported his missions when he had to leave and was there for him when he returned-- Unlike his previous relationship. Would the man who'd tried before succeed this time? They hadn't caught him. Would he be back? Watching the two of them fall deeper and deeper, seeing the support of the club and team makes for a compelling read. This next-generation series is every bit as good as the original. An enemy too close to them all, romance, deeper ties at home, acceptance, loyalty, friendship, and family make for a fulfilling story with characters the reader will love and cheer on.

Wow what a roller-coaster story. Rafe is living with so much guilt, so much obligation and so much anger. His life didn't go the way he planned and when it looked like it was finally back on track, the universe decided to throw him a curve ball. Peyton never had it easy growing up, always being the odd one, being the freak, being the black sheep of the family. But when tragedy strikes Peyton she decides to live her life the way she wants. After the fire, Peyton lost her sense of security, lost her freedom and lost her spark. She only feels safe when the big soldier man that pulled her out of the fire is around, Rafe. But Rafe is battling his own demons. What will happen when their pasts collide with their present, will their future suffer?

Wow! What an action packed book! And so many questions answered. I loved Rafe and Peytons relationship. Through tragedy a friendship blossomed to which a relationship was inevitable. Really liked how they both had secrets to share and did so (albeit not the whole truth). Cannot wait for Ghost and Deke’s stories, they gonna burn the pages I reckon! As always I really do 100% recommend Leah as a 5 star author, you literally cannot go wrong when you choose to pick up one of her books ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
