minor spoiler included in the review! メ

Blurb seemed very interesting and the book did start out well but...*sighs

The ML is a player. He hangs-out with Bonnie and his ex even after kissing Anna. I don't appreciate that in my romances.

Anna's character is very weak. I know she's been through a trauma & it's amazing that she came out okay and is doing well. But she's a doormat. She doesn't stand up for herself.
Plus, there's a scene where she spots Bonnie getting comfy on Riggs' lap, which makes her feel jealous and sad. But almost immediately, Riggs turns up at her place and kisses her. She smiles, and suddenly everything is okay.

What the actual heck?!

I try not to give poor ratings without at least explaining why, but there is so much to explain with this book that it's exhausting. I'm going to hit the highlights.

1. Reading about the decisions the heroine makes was like watching a B horror film from the 80's. The lone girl walks down the stairs to the basement, by herself, after her friends are being killed one by one. You're screaming don't go down there and she just keeps walking. Her ex puts her in critical condition and she still meets him in the park. She makes a decision to go back to her ex believing he will honor her "deal" when he's never honored a thing in their relationship. Now for the piece de resistance... said with sarcasm... when her husband is raping her, she says "it's not really rape because we're married, even if I don't want it." At this point I thought, you might be too stupid to live.
2. The hero was a joke. I think he was suppose to come off as Billy Badass, but he needs to platonically sleep with a club girl skin to skin so he can sleep. He leaves his kid, ex wife and lover, whose married to another, held captive for days, while he's "forming" a plan. His miracle plan just magically clicks all in place and viola he saves the day.
3. The MC is working with the cops.... I threw up a little in my mouth. You don't get to call yourself a strong, drug running club of bikers and work with cops.

......... and everyone lived happily ever after........

This is my first book by Nicola Jane. I enjoyed the book a lot. The story line and character development were very well executed. The chemistry between the h and H was intense. I look forward to reading more in the series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I’m on an MC binge at the minute and this series was recommended to me by a friend and I’m really glad! I was a little confused at first because it was sounding more like a mafia book than an MC, but soon enough bikers arrived and I read the book in one sitting! It had a really good storyline, cute kids, and heat! I’m looking forward to diving into the next book!

 liked this story! Lots of interesting plot and I loved the connection between the kids (Ziggy and Malia). While I liked this there were definitely things that frustrated me. Riggs’ whole thing with other women was annoying. I kept thinking, “why are they still around?” But the things I liked outweighed the things that were frustrating.

Not for me

Hard to review this book. I could not get into it and Anna hust didn't make sense.
Unfortunately, the last straw was realising 75% down the road that it takes place in London UK and not US. For US reader, it might be cleared as i ve now checked and it is not by the sea. But nothing feels British in this book and i didn't recognise my adopted town.

Anna Miller for reasons only known to liquid courage decides she is going to storm into the Kings Reapers MC bar and give Riggs a piece of her mind. She and her daughter are trying to start over after a bad marriage and she knows time is ticking before she has to move again which means she is sparing Riggs son who has a strong attachment to her daughter.

Riggs cannot believe Anna came busting in his bar throwing her sass. He should be furious but he finds himself intrigued. Anna is weary about getting involved with Riggs but when she is threatened by her ex, Riggs steps in. Its only inevitable that they give into their feelings for one another but can he keep her safe?

3.75 I liked the chemistry between Anna and Riggs but it is a bit more dark then I was expecting and had a twist that was difficult to read. Overall great new series, has a few triggers though that might make readers uncomfortable.
