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!

I’ll start at the end of the story I definitely cried at a certain part having to do with her brother.

This was really really good. It also has me invested in the other storylines that will be popping up in the next books.

I love King’s pursue meant of Cress. How he knew what he wanted, and was trying to get it before things could fall apart. I also love that they have a shared common interests that made them even more compatible in closer together.

I do truly wish that maybe later on in life, she will have forgiveness in her heart for certain people particularly one person.

Other than that this book is definitely a reread, and I truly loved it!
