Blurb: On the Road: A series of unexpected meetings bring a solitary hippo shifter to a new family and friends…if he’s willing to take a chance.

Jethro Gunther has been servicing the motorcycles of his old pal’s gang for over a decade. When his buddy brings him a new customer, Jethro finds himself attracted to only the second man in his life–Wilhelm Smith. The first guy had left Jethro used and rejected, so he’d turned to one night stands with biker bunnies. It was just easier. Wilhelm, however, seems different One night, he realizes just how different Wilhelm actually is. Shifters are real? They are, and not only that, Wilhelm refuses to be a dirty little secret. Can Jethro accept his new reality and figure out a way to openly incorporate a male partner into his life?

Review: As Kontra and his band of shifters travel across the country, they need to get a bike for one of the newer members of the pack, Wilhelm. They stop at Jethro’s bike shop. He has helped out the gang over the years and always seems to look forward to working with the guys. When he meets Wilhelm, though, he feels something different. He’s been attracted to guys before, but his biker gang is extremely homophobic, and the newest leader is the worst yet.

When Jethro accepts an invitation to dinner with the gang, he invites along one off his assistants at the shop. But there seems to be some trouble with a couple of the guys from his biker gang, and Wilhelm ends up saving the day. But, he does it by revealing a bit more about himself than he intended. And when he does, it shakes up Jethro’s world—to the foundation.

Return to Biker Lane was not a favorite in this series. Even though this series is formulaic, and with fated mates there isn’t necessarily a huge character building process before the fated mates get together, I still wasn’t feeling much of a connection between Wilhelm and Jethro. This one felt rushed and ended rather abruptly.

Note: While technically this is book twenty-one in this series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
