“My plan is as straightforward and obvious as they come. I’m blackmailing the president of a motorcycle gang to help me kill my uncle and dispose of his body.”
After being introduced to Dina (FMC) in [b: Hitting the Wall (Stonecut County, #1)], where it’s teased that she has a plan to stop her uncle from hurting anyone else, I couldn’t wait to read her story. I expected the story to primarily focus on this storyline, and for Dina’s skills to be explored. But everything relevant to her “master plan” happens off page, before the book even begins. I was ready to shrug off the disappointment when it’s revealed in the first chapter that Heavy (MMC) is trying to find evidence from a crime committed twenty-years prior, and Dina used her hacking skills to hunt it down in order to use it as leverage against him. Only to find myself disappointed for a second time, because that storyline is barely explored in this book either. That's right, the suspenseful aspects of the story that I was anticipating were excluded. The entire book up until the 85% mark was a lackluster romance, featuring the cringiest dirty-talk from Heavy. I wanted more from Dina’s character, and the storyline involving her uncle. This book just seemed to squeeze the life out of anything of interest.

This is GRITTY. Trigger warnings ABOUT. If you’re familiar with Cate C. Wells, that probably doesn’t come as a surprise. The FMC in this book is probably one of my favorite FMCs ever written.

This was my favorite of the Steel Bones MC books so far. I skipped a couple to read this one because Heavy was such a compelling character. I was not disappointed.
I never thought I could like Harper, but seeing her from Heavy's point of view changed everything.
I want to read everything Cate writes!

Humorous and Addicting
I loved this book! It was so interesting to finally be in Dina’s head and understand her way of thinking. She had some great character growth and I think the representation of ASD was well explained. I have family with this diagnosis and sometimes it is hard to get people to change their bias’.
HEAVY. I want him. I need him. Call me Dina from here on out. I loved how he completely accepts Dina and her behavior and makes a great partner.
