I only got 37% through this audiobook and I'm surprised I made it that far. I cannot believe this book has over 4 stars. How? Did we read the same thing?
This book is about the president of a biker gang claiming (kidnapping) a young girl (Eve) to satisfy her brother's debt. The first egregious crime, kidnapping. The young girl he kidnapped is a hot ,blonde haired, blue eyed 18 year old. And to make all of this worse, she's a virgin (who didn't see that coming).
Now, the man (Blade/Jason) is the president of said biker gang. To be president of a biker gang as big as his, he would have had to put in some time. So he has to be at least 10 years older than Eve. Below are my major grievances (gag moments) with this book, in no particular order.
1. The statement "primal urge to mate with her".
2. 18 year old virgin with zero experience but able to do experienced things.
3. The words "primal" and "possessive" used too many times.
4. For her first sexual experience (ever and with him), he told her if she passed out he was going to "fuck" her anyway. So SA.
5. He keeps calling her a "badass" but what it really is is her being hardened by a traumatic childhood.
6. The female MC's name is Eve but he keeps calling her angel.
7. The lady narrator of the audiobook is bad. She was dull and extremely anticlimactic during climactic moments. She whispers in moments that were supposed to be intense.
8. (THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK) During a sexual time with Eve, he grabbed her private area and said "I can't get enough of this c*nt". WTF!
9. When he grabbed her private area, Eve said he grabbed her "sex". I hate when a women's private area is called that.

I still freaking love Cassandra Robbins and I now ADORE the Disciples...gotta love me a bad MC president, which is exactly what Jason aka Blade is. Lethal is Blade and Eve's story, the tale of an MC president over the 1% Disciples and his woman, a former carnie with deep childhood trauma. It has HEAVY Beauty and the Beast vibes and is just all around enjoyable. I still love me my Rock Gods and Powers boys more than anything, but Lethal is an awesome kickoff to the Disciples series.
Editing this review! Somehow I missed that I had read this before and was looking for a new MC books to read and stumbled upon this. Realized fairly quickly I had already read it, but it's been a few months so I kept reading. Then went to review and found my prior one! Funny thing is that I interpreted it completely differently this time around - so editing this to show my current take, but leaving the original below!

I really enjoyed this MC book. The gritty, hard biker, with the h coming into play because she has been forced to be there, can really work for me at times. I very much enjoyed reading this - loved how she isn't quite honest, even with herself, and he suffers from the same thing. They went round and round on certain things, but it very much fit with who they are. I also very much enjoyed all the side characters we get introduced to and already wanting to read book 5(at least I hope there is a book 5)

There was a lot about this book I loved. The entire hard biker, with the h there because she is forced to be there can really work for me. The thing I didn’t like, was how it went in circles with situations that occur really just being the same thing over and over again. How he won’t commit and can be with whomever he wants(even though he doesn’t). We got it the first time, but I didn’t like how many times it occurs.
I also don’t like when the h/H lie to us when we are in their POV.

Spoiler
She thinks to herself multiple times about how she can’t have kids because of the appendectomy but at the end you find that she was never actually told that. That’s a huge problem for me. I don’t mind if it were third person and she wasn’t thinking it in her head but speaking it, but we see her thinking it and then later to find that this was not true at all. Again, it would be fine except for the fact that she THOUGHT this in her head at one point. This happens with a few things and just doesn’t work for me. Have her SAY it but don’t have her THINK it so as a reader you are duped later - I just feel misled and not like it was actually an Ah-Ha! type moment. REALLY didn’t work for me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I thought it was a really good length to introduce us to the characters and story. I took off a star because I didn’t love Eve. I feel like she didn’t grow or evolve as a person throughout the book. She kept doing and saying very immature things. That being said, I had to keep reminding myself that she’s only 18, and really she was acting exactly as a girl her age should, so it was refreshing to read something so believable from that standpoint. I do think Blade grew as a character, so it was good to read that evolution. I do recommend this book and will be reading any in the future (not sure if that’s then end of Eve and Blade’s story and future books will follow other members of the MC or if their story will still go on. It did not end on a crazy cliffhanger, so I can see that going either way)
Bordered and dipped to many times into toxic relationship themes for my liking. Eve was a little immature at times and Blade/Jason has control issues. Good if MC romances are your thing, though.
Dual POV was much appreciated. I didn’t enjoy the attitude surround the motorcycle gang and that you could have an ‘ole lady” (ew) and still be sleeping with whoever you want and the girl can’t say anything. Jason also only had AXE and Irish Spring? Seems childish. If Jason wasn’t such a bitch, and said how he just wanted Eve, they would have half of their issues. Eve would say that she was done and wanted to distance herself from Jason but then would sleep with him 2 minutes later, like she couldn’t make up her mind. It was also implied the whole time that she really couldn’t get pregnant then it said at the end that it was a lie. He said douche shit. No thanks.
I wasn't expecting enjoying this as much as I did.Bad joys isn't really a favorite but the romance between the two was wonderful to listen to and it was an well done audiobook overall
RETURNED dysfunctional and coercive sexual encounters.
