I grew up half a block from the Wisconsin River. My life has been defined by fresh-water summers and a North Woods flavor that can be found nowhere on Earth as it is in the north of Wisconsin. I love escaping electricity and the hustle and bustle of workaday life by camping under the stars. Many of my most favorite memories happened in the water or in the woods. There is only one thing that makes me feel remotely the same: chocolate!

I'm always into suspence romances. It just changes romance novels just enough to keep me hooked on them. I really loved him and her together they are super sweet and I love the fact that she is actually a pretty tough cookie.

A woman who lives with her dad and is happy living the biker lifestyle. She is a tattoo artist and Her dad Old Dirty Dan works on Harleys. Jess' life is about to become a nightmare...She doesn't remember her mother who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. She doesn't remember anything until a man comes into her life unknowingly turning it into complete chaos.
Mitch is the bad boy trying to turn his life from what it used to be. The title is a little misconstrued considering he is an ex-mob guy not a biker (also there is nothing in there that says he is). He knows the family but little about the girl Jess he was sent to Milwaukee to protect. She is just his assignment until he gets there and everything ends up to be a mess. Jess has no idea who her mother really is and now he is in the middle of a family storm that no one knows the ending too.
Basically he falls for Jess and she falls for him. They get hot and heavy but lay off until your 60% into the book. By then they know who is causing the problems and Mitch can be lax on his bodyguarding assignment. So they start to plan their future until the mother tells everyone who the real killer is. So we all know Jess is going to be in danger and he needs to save her. I understand all of the dynamics of the book and believe me it is quite a book. However the heroine sucks; she is frustrating, annoying and will not shut up with her inner dialogue. I seriously feel like I am getting whiplash and it is infuriating that she can be so self-absorbed.
In the end I felt sorry for Mitch ending up with that twit. Her character should have bit it in the end then that would have given me the happy ending I deserved after spending all day reading it. The formatting was horrible and the spelling and the words running together. I hated it and am so appalled I actually read it until the end. I hope the author fixes these issues immediately and then reissues the book because I could put up with an annoying heroine but the rest just drove me up the wall....
Good luck!!!

Jess Owen was raised by her father. He is an ex-con who changed his path of disaster to keep his daughter. He has stayed out of trouble for years. Jess didn't mind growing up in her dad's environment. She is a tattoo artist and enjoys it. She is very protective of her dad.
Mitch Connor is in private security. He has been hired by Jess's mom to protect Jess. He shows up at Jess's doorstep, at the beginning saying that he is one of her father's old friends. But when Jess's life is in danger, he decides that a change is in order. He takes Jess to see her mother who is in a coma in Los Angeles. He won't make a mistake this time.
Someone is after Jess. They want her dead and Mitch is the only one who can protect her in LA. Specially, when he starts falling for her.
I liked it. I like Jess. She is astute, funny at times. Mitch is all alpha.
3/5 Fangs

This book has potential but the characters and the plot are lacking. I didn't care for their personalities or the holes in the plot however I felt that the story was unique and worth the read despite its issues.

Good little read- only quarm - editing, paragraphing & paging need a complete overhaul. Over looking that - its a good little read :)

After the middle of the book, you already know what s gonna happen. The first few chapters were quite intense but you lose this too fast an the read becomes sadly boring.

Needed more action and more bikers

Personally, I think the title was misleading. This was not a biker book.
Great book though...happy with the way in which it ended.

Just ok. Nothing really to write home about.

I pushed through to the end. It had some good action scenes but overall nor enough meat to the story line.
