I’m just not connecting to anything in this book. I was hoping for a little more turmoil with this forbidden relationship but the angst is nonexistent and that’s disappointing.

I hardly ever do this... but this book was just so bad. I really wanted to like it. I have to say that by 20% I had almost DNFed the book 3 times. In fact the only reason I didn’t was because of a book discussion I wanted to be a part of selected this book.

I love a good taboo romance. I love a good bad boy, as well as a million other tropes. This book had a million cliches. Plus the language was ridiculous.

What grown ass woman uses the words Sweet, dork, and Oh My Gawd (yes literally spelled like that). The H talked like a 12 year old girl. Not only that- the president of a bad ass MC said things like “you’re such a dork”

Not to mention the extreme overuse of Kings “babe”.

I can’t even tell you the amount of

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.
