This whole series was 5 stars for me but after reading them all, I gotta say this one is my favorite. The idea of the Tin Gypsies building a family with each other is so so so sweet. They are truly a family and I have loved getting to read each of their stories.

Cassie is a smart, independent, grad school student who makes a bad choice to have a one-night stand and ends up pregnant. Leo is the original bad boy - member of the former Tin Gypsies and everything that came with it - drug running, robbery, fighting...
These two are total opposites but they have a baby growing between them. In addition to getting to know each other, there is also a series of "accidents" that may be caused by a rival gang that has been disbanded and jailed.
Just when you think things are going great, bad things happen but that makes the Happily Ever After even more exciting. Make sure you check out the bonus epilogue for more Happy Memories.

Oh, my heart. My poor, battered, squeezed-out heart. With every book I've read in this series, my heart takes a beating. But damn, it's so worth it! Devney Perry's series about the lives of characters who share a connection with a motorcycle club that is no more is a standout. The idea for it is creative and original, and it almost feels like Perry's writing takes on a whole different life when it comes to these books. That's not to say that her other work isn't at par--it is. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's an extraordinary nature that her Tin Gypsy books have, and I, for one, do not take that for granted. I'm relishing every single bit of these stories, and now that we're at the fifth one and I realize there's only one more to go, I'm already experiencing the whole bittersweet thing that comes when I know a much beloved series will be ending soon.
You know how some books in a series are touted as standalones that can be read independently of each other? Yeah, this is where I highly recommend that you read the Tin Gypsy series in order. While each book is about a different couple--and yes, they all get their respective happy endings--there is a continuing story line with regards to the Tin Gypsies, the legendary motorcycle club that three of the male main characters were part of, as well as the fathers of two of those three. I promise, these are books that will be well worth the time you put into reading them. The series is a spin-off of the author's Jamison Valley, but you don't necessarily need to read that prior to this. I can say that with confidence because I've yet to read the series, too. That being said, I do have almost all the JV books and am waiting to get one more before binge-reading.
Leo and Cassandra's story is one that put my emotions through its paces. There were moments of frustration, but even then I had empathy for what they were going through. These two saw their respective lives going in very different directions before they found out they were going to be parents. Leo didn't think he was good enough--not to be a father nor be Cassandra's significant other; Cassandra had dreams of graduate school and writing a book about history, and no way had she ever seen becoming a mother at twenty-four part of those immediate future plans. Their relationship, just like any other, had growing pains, but add in the complications of the history between the Tin Gypsy MC and a rival club, and well, those became potentially deadly. But their HEA was undeniably well-earned, as are the five-plus stars I give Fallen Jester.

Leo is by far the worst MMC I have ever read and he did not deserve to end up with Cass.
