Booker
by Nat Logan
Andrew “Booker” Thomson has always done what was required of him. His time in the Army taught him the value of following orders and brotherhood. The Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC has offered him a home but something is missing, if only he knew what. When his MC President offers him nomad status and asks him to check on one of their Originals who they haven’t had contact in a couple of weeks, Booker jumps at the chance. His appearance as a cover model at Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem book signing will allow him to do both.
Alexandra Sullivan has made a life for herself working with romance authors. Spending the majority of the year on the road in her RV, she loves the nomadic lifestyle. She’s always wanted her own happily ever after but none of the men she’s met live up to her romance novel heroes or her high school boyfriend. When she’s face-to-face with the boy she had to leave before their junior prom, she wonders if this might be her second chance.
Before Booker can sweep Alexandra off her feet, he and his fellow nomads will need to help her confront the danger wreaking havoc in her and her mom’s life. Lexi and Booker will need a little assistance from the men and women of Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC and Saint’s Outlaws MC if they want to ride off into their own happily ever after.

Nat Logan's Booker is a compelling blend of romance, adventure, and the search for belonging, set against the backdrop of motorcycle clubs and the nomadic lifestyle. The novel offers a fresh take on the classic second-chance romance trope, weaving in elements of suspense and camaraderie that keep readers engaged from start to finish.
The protagonist, Andrew “Booker” Thomson, is a character who embodies the values of loyalty and duty, shaped by his experiences in the Army. His transition from military life to being a part of the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC is portrayed with authenticity, highlighting the challenges and rewards of finding a new sense of brotherhood. Booker's journey is not just about following orders but also about discovering what truly fulfills him. This internal conflict is a driving force in the narrative, making his character arc both relatable and inspiring.
On the other hand, Alexandra Sullivan, or Lexi, is a vibrant character who has carved out a unique lifestyle for herself. Her work with romance authors and her love for the nomadic life in her RV paint a picture of independence and resilience. Lexi's longing for her own happily ever after, juxtaposed with her high standards set by romance novels and past relationships, adds depth to her character. Her unexpected reunion with Booker, her high school sweetheart, sets the stage for a heartwarming exploration of love and second chances.
The chemistry between Booker and Lexi is palpable, and Logan does an excellent job of rekindling their past connection while allowing them to grow as individuals. Their relationship is not without its challenges, as they must confront external threats that endanger Lexi and her mother's safety. This element of danger adds a layer of suspense to the story, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
Logan's portrayal of the motorcycle club culture is both respectful and nuanced. The Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC and Saint’s Outlaws MC are depicted as tight-knit communities where loyalty and brotherhood are paramount. The camaraderie among the club members is a testament to the bonds that can form in such environments, providing a sense of belonging that both Booker and Lexi crave. The support they receive from these clubs in their time of need underscores the theme of community and the idea that family is not always defined by blood.
One of the novel's strengths is its exploration of the nomadic lifestyle. Both Booker and Lexi are drawn to the freedom and adventure that come with living on the road. This theme is skillfully woven into the narrative, highlighting the allure of a life unbound by conventional constraints. Logan captures the essence of this lifestyle, making it an integral part of the characters' identities and their journey towards self-discovery.
In terms of writing style, Logan's prose is engaging and accessible, with a knack for vivid descriptions that bring the settings and characters to life. The dialogue is natural and often infused with humor, adding to the overall charm of the story. The pacing is well-balanced, with moments of introspection interspersed with action-packed scenes that maintain the reader's interest.
Comparatively, Booker shares thematic similarities with works by authors like Kristen Ashley and Joanna Wylde, who also explore the dynamics of motorcycle clubs and the complexities of love and loyalty. However, Logan's unique approach to the nomadic lifestyle and the second-chance romance angle sets this novel apart, offering a fresh perspective within the genre.
Overall, Booker is a captivating read that will appeal to fans of romance and adventure alike. Its well-developed characters, engaging plot, and exploration of themes such as loyalty, love, and the search for belonging make it a standout in the contemporary romance genre. Whether you're a seasoned reader of motorcycle club romances or new to the genre, this novel promises a satisfying and memorable experience.
