My god Kayla’s background and family situation is heartbreaking. Definitely check the trigger warnings because it gets a little dark. 

I just loved the relationship between Kayla and Charge. I think their personalities matched well, but I feel like Charge didn’t have much of a personality outside of being a biker who has a criminal history. 

I also love that Kayla had such a solid support system around her, especially Sue. Also, Charge was great around Jimmy which was so heartwarming to read. I absolutely LOVED what was done with Harper to have her introduced so poorly but get a redemption later. 

The plot itself felt well rounded with some tense and sad moments thrown in. I cried at one point and the story got real emotional on Kayla’s side. 

I will say for a motorcycle club romance, it didn’t showcase much of the motorcycle club business yet. It felt like just the right amount in balance with the building relationship of Kayla and Charge. From the snippet at the end for book 2, I'm thinking there will be a lot more motorcycle club drama involved.
