Red Devils MC #1
Taming Lucca
Newly Edited!
The wall was put into place to protect the rich and the privileged from the fallout of a catastrophic natural disaster that destroyed half the world. The world outside the wall was left to the lawless, while behind the wall the class system was only fair to those born in the upper districts. They ruled the lower class with fear of the being forced into the lawless world outside of the wall.
Molly Daniels a mechanic living in the Slum district is convinced she’s found love or maybe just a way out of her servitude. Instead she finds herself abandoned by her lover and her family, and thrust into the world outside the wall. Fearful and alone she tries to find her way in a world that’s filled with unknown dangers. Only to find that the world outside might just be better than the one she was forced to leave behind.
Lucca “Bone” Brighton is the president of the Red Devil MC. His only family is his MC. When Molly ends up in his town sick he saves her life and decides to keep her, only Molly doesn’t make life easy. Not getting what he wants isn’t making him happy. But when a rival club kidnaps Molly, he realizes that he’s not letting her go without a fight. This Prez isn’t lying down anytime soon, and he’s not allowing anyone to take Molly from the Red Devils until he’s dead.

In this book, there was a catastrophic natural disaster. A wall was built to protect the rich and privileged from it but it also had a lower class scared to live outside the wall because it was lawlessness.
Molly is a mechanic from the lower class slums behind the wall and has been dating a upper class man for the last few months. Thinking she will marry him, things take a terrible turn on their date when she is accused of stealing and finds out her boyfriend was intending to break up with her.
She is put in jail and sentenced to be put outside the wall. Her parents are cold and disown her but a friend named Carl a older man who is rides with a biker gang outside the wall sometimes gives credits to help her with this scary transition. She meets Bone a biker with the gang called the Red Devils at a restaurant where she is almost poisoned to death by drinking unfiltered water from the bathroom. Bone discovers that she is the woman Slim's old lady Lisa offered protection for. Bone is really attracted to her even though he never wanted an old lady or wife due to his father's behavior with his mom but Molly works her way into his life and club. But there is some danger from someone they trust that will put Molly in danger.
This was a long ago old read. I liked the characters. Molly was sweet but naive about some things to me. Bone could be a serious bonehead but he still had a good heart though. This had that whole Mad Max thing going on in my head. I think that the world building could have been better but it was okay. It was insta love and pretty low angst. The hero had a really stupid moment but he did redeem himself too. He was a alpha male and possessive.

A combination of a dystopian world and a MC living outside the walls of the privileged city. I was surprised how much I liked the beginning of this series. But I have read the Blue Bandits series, which is set in the same world and liked that series. It's a story of insta-love/lust on the part of Lucca but Molly is a strong heroine and resists his advances. He's one OTT possessive, alpha man who finds himself pampering a woman when he has vowed never to be chained down to one woman. Loved the secondary characters and I'm moving on to the next book in the series.

3.5 Stars....
This was a fairly good, hot read. I felt like the "world building" needed a little more description, additions to make it more interesting. It just needed more...something - it was a good idea.
It was short, and semi interesting and had lots of hot sex.
The H is smart, a biker and OTT protective.
The h is learning to step out of her shell that her family made her build around her self. Very quite/shy....a little doormat-ish.
My only real complaint was that it had some really cheesy parts. You know like so cheesy they were not believable and made you roll your eyes (for example the h stands up for herself in the beginning and then gets framed from the very girls she stood up to - okay it doesn't sound cheesy when I type it, but trust me, you'll role your eyes when you read it - especially her fiance's response).
Then there were other parts that were very real and gritty - which is what you want in an MC read. Especially one that's supposed to be rough and crazy from the world having to starting over.
Anyway, I would recommend it. I'm reading the 2nd one and it's along the same lines. But I'm finally working my way closer to the 3rd, which was the one I ORIGINALLY wanted to read and why I started this series in the first place.

I had high hopes but the poor editing and poor writing pissed me off. The book needed an editor or even a proofreader at least as there were so many missing commas, run ons, wrong spellings, and just bad composition. The story had potential but the writing qualty failed the book. It surprised me coz I read the Blue Bandits and the writing in that series, especially in Reaper Unleashed, was ok and did not have a lot of editing mistakes.

Michelle Wood's Taming Lucca is not the conventional MC read. Michelle creates a dystopian world, where a natural disaster has divided a city between the rich - known as the Hillies, and the workers, known as the Slums. A wall protects them from a lawless land outside. Set in 2072, the lawless lands are divided into small towns and ruled by motorcycle clubs - families - that abide and protect with their own laws. Some are ruthless, but some are just trying to survive.
Molly is a mechanic and lives day to day in the slums. But she was lucky. She had a boyfriend, a Hillie, and it seemed she would be moving up; until she was set up and sentenced for a crime she didn't commit. The punishment - to be banished and cast out into the lawless land. Alone and scared, she tries to navigate through a world she's never seen.
Lucca "Bone" Brighton, is the President of the Red Devil's MC and does not do relationships. But something about the little spitfire, has him taking her home, putting her under his protection, and wishing she could be his.
Michelle is a new to me author, and I believe this was one of her first books. I loved the concept. Futuristic world, complicated class system, distrust of the unknown. I do wish the author had expanded on the dystopian aspect of this story and the wide-eyed innocent wonder of being on the outside of the city. There where a few grammatical errors, but the story was original and good; and I could not stop reading it! Michelle Woods is an author that I see on the rise and I'm looking forward to reading the next in this series.

Eh
I like the world. Bone was cool but did come off as a dick. Molly was grounded and likeable. The action was lacking like it was hardly there. The kidnapping was done fast and zipped by way to fast. You did not fell the other club Was a threat. The best part was the class setting in the post apocalyptic world.

3 1/2-4 stars. Rather sweet mc romance. Liked the kind of futuristic/wild feeling. Alpha, yet sweet H (who definitely has a case of "instant lust/love"), and a rather innocent but strong willed h. Pretty spicy, but not inundated with sex scenes--they don't really start until the second half. Easy to follow writing style. Good characters--main and secondary. Nice amount of suspense/action. Tough bikers, but more on the "good-guy" side. Will probably read more of this series.

This book was good for me even though I am not a big fan of mc books. It kept my interest and did not drag out the story line which is always a plus. It was a different plot as well with the futuristic stuff but not so much to make it a sci-fi just enough in my opinion. I pretty much read this book in 1 sitting and was enthralled for the most part. A good read I would recommend.

February 8, 2016I would like to tell you Im in love with your books, but Taming Lucca has some major flaws. It has horrible grammar, puncuation, and is extremely hard to follow sometimes. It honestly looks and reads like a rough draft. It would be great to correct to it because I really like it but Im going to have to give a bad review if this cant be fixed.

I liked it enough. Could have done without the insta-love but they were a cute couple. I sometimes felt that Molly was a bit too innocent, almost like a child, not a twenty year old experienced woman. I also noticed that Lucca hasn't actually said the words I love you to Molly even though it shows in his expression and actions.

DNF - I just couldn't get into it. The dialogue is stilted and there are some bad grammer/punctuation problems in the book which kept pulling my focus away from the story. The story itself didn't seem to flow right either. Not for me.

The story line was brilliant and I love the characters but the writing, dear god!! Incorrect spelling, terrible grammar mistakes and even as far as words missing or just incorrect.

Needs to be edited
The spelling and grammar issues are very distracting. It's a good start for a story but it should probably be republished after some editing.
