3.0

Good points
-Taboo Romance
-Bikers
-main male lead is fierce about his woman

Bad points
-horrible biker lingo and bikers are obsessed with Elvis??? It’s pretty cliché.
-The female lead flip flopped a lot.

She was groomed. She was 15 when her crush was encouraged by the grown man and her parents. Then 18 when she was married to a 36 year old man. But then turns around and is with a 18 year old when she is 26. Maybe not as big of a gap and King was really pushy but still kinda gives an ICK factor.

I feel like she didn’t give her brother enough of a chance. Then again maybe that’s messed up cause of the situation she was in but he went to jail for her, bought her a house, and made sure they could find her. Not saying he is brother of the year… she also was like I am never taking money from a man again but then caved immediately.

I picked this one up purely because of the covers that the author shared in the Sweetgrass Author event. I wanted to know if the series was something I would like and find out if it was something I wanted to splurge on. Plus, it's been a few weeks since I read something so dark, so I couldn't wait to get into this one. It ended up being intense. The age gap was cringy in the beginning. Still, I was really curious about the reverse age gap, plus them being students/teachers. But I was hooked once the story started going about 20-ish% into the book and couldn't put it down. I was literally about to DNF it when I finally got hooked. There were so many LOL moments, but this one had a little of everything. We had the age gap, the student/teacher, the motorcycle club, plus even ex/small-town chaos. To the point that I could not wait to read the next book!
