The Handler

The Noir ET Bleu Motorcycle Club Series – Book 2

By D. R. Graham

Synopsis

A new adult novel from Entangled’s Embrace imprint…

He promised he would never be an outlaw . . .

While searching for the member of an outlaw motorcycle gang who murdered his dad, Cain Allen is offered a boatload of cash to “handle” the stunning teen popstar Lincoln Todd. Although he doesn’t need the headache of a high-maintenance celebrity, getting out of town will help him keep a low profile until he testifies against the other two killers.

Touring Europe with Lincoln proves to be more complicated than Cain anticipated, and despite his efforts, the line between their personal and professional lives blurs. She’s sweet, smart, and totally unpredictable. And he loves it.

But Lincoln’s association with Cain puts her in more danger than anyone could have imagined. When he joins forces with the Noir et Bleu Motorcycle Club to protect her, Cain discovers the lengths he’s willing to go, and the person he’s willing to become to protect the people he loves…

Michel’s Review

The Handler is the first book I have read by author D. R. Graham.  I have to say that I am impressed by her writing and really enjoyed this book.  It had a fresh plot, solid writing, interesting characters, and a smooth flow.  Although this is the second book in the Noir Et Bleu Motorcycle Club series, it can be read as a stand alone novel.  I was so impressed with this book that I plan on reading the first book in the series, One Percenter.

Cain Allen is at crossroads in his life.  While trying to search for the man responsible for his father’s murder and his mother’s injuries, he is very low on cash.  His girlfriend is pissed that he is so far away from home.  His sister wants him home.  He’s living with some guys from the Noir ET Bleu MC and needs to pay rent.  When his friend Tomcat calls and offers him a job as a “handler” for a teen pop star, it seems like easy money.  All he has to do is make sure the princess pop star , Lincoln Todd, is safe and secure while traveling.

Thus begins the unique relationship between Lincoln and Cain.  Cain is brutally honest with Lincoln and tells her the way things really are.  He doesn’t sugar coat or spoil her like all the other people in her life.  He earns her trust and she wins his heart.  How can he keep her safe when he can’t distant himself or his heart.

The dangers he went looking for are following Lincoln on her tour.  Can they both survive and come out with their hearts in one piece?

This fast paced and highly suspenseful book is full of twists and turns.  It was not predictable and doled out surprises throughout the book.  The romance that bloomed between Cain and Lincoln was very touching.  He started out the book with a girlfriend and ended with his heart belonging to another.  The author handled this with a grace that won’t turn the readers off.  This book was indeed a gem.

I highly recommend The Handler by D. R. Graham!
