Cade, president of the Iron Disciples Motorcycle Club, a hardened badass, and one of the Filthy Few—members who’ve sold their souls and demonstrated the highest act of loyalty…killing for their club.
The Disciples are local legends, true one percenters—the few who don't just live on the fringe of society but operate far from it.
Ultra successful financial advisor Morgan Swift knows nothing about THE LIFE until she steps off the curb into the path of Cade’s Harley…
She ends up in his apartment, trusting a murderer to heal her wounds...two people from completely different worlds, they aren't meant to be together, they can’t possibly coexist. Being in close proximity to such a raw, alpha like Cade has Morgan's body betraying her at every turn…never before has a man made her feel this alive, this frightened, this…wet.
How can Cade trust the civilian woman he is falling for when she demands full disclosure? How can he explain to her the meaning of the Filthy Few patch on his chest without her equating him to nothing more than a serial killer?
In the face of impossible danger Cade is forced to make a deal with the devil, and it's a decision Morgan will never understand.

I like the bones of the book but based on the authors note at the beginning of the version I bought and read, she'd reedited due to errors and plot issues, sadly I have to say its still in need a major help! There are still a ton of plot line issues. The main male character's name (Cade)gets mixed up with his son's (Ethan) several times. This was pretty confusing since he has a twin named Eddie and we are never told if Cade is his first or last name so it wasn't until the story of child comes up that you even realize that Ethan isn't possibly his first name. then you have the inconsistency of the character Stacy, who is the male leads cousin BT several times his twin brother interacts with her likes he's never met her. In other places Stacy flips back and forth between just being just the female leads friend/coworker to being Cade's cousin. Stacy was also supposed to live in the same house as Cade but its obvious in the writing that she doesn't. Then there's the fact that the female lead is supposed to be in a leg cast but in several places the author talks about her in boots (plural) and in the shower w/o addressing the cast. There were still just so many inconsistencies that it made reading the book hard at times. Again, there are things I liked but the author could use a good editor/proof reader. Oh, and the cliffhanger ending was super frustrating on top of all the rest.
Very gripping. Read this in on sitting. Morgan is a self-made, high-powered businesswoman whose steely take-no-prisoners facade masks a desperately lonely inside. In flashbacks we learn of the tragic losses in her childhood that made her the self-made success she is today, but also tough and quick to anger. She literally runs into a man who is in many ways her counterpart -- one Cade -- the warrior chief of an outlaw biker gang. This story has several subtexts: Morgan learns to open her heart and rise above her pride and ego to accept how much she loves this man. But also, she undertakes a journey into the world of the biker outlaw culture, and is this initiation that is in many ways the heart of The Filthy Few.
Pacing in this novel is very good, especially at the beginning. The characters and plot development feels well mapped out, and unfolds naturally. Some of the dialogue feels a bit sloppy, though. Yet I felt I KNEW these characters, and cared about them. The ending is simply great. Won't give it away, except to say I didn't see it coming. Very much look foward to next story in this series.
I'm a sucker for romance motorcycle novels and this one didn't disappoint me at all! As soon as I started getting into it, I just couldn't to it down. It's a fast read, but full of romance, violence, and really everything you'd find in the world of motorcycle anarchy meets romance and sex.
I immediately fell in love with the main characters, Cade and Morgan, and their lives with each other. They are the perfect, yet completely imperfect people for each other, yet still make it work, and thrill us with so many things on every page! They keep you entertained and glued to the book with their fair share of interesting and luring adventures from crazy wild sex to the motorcycle gang to killing and blood.
I don't want to give any spoilers but this novel is thoroughly engaging and will keep you hooked from the first page! I highly recommend it and need to say that it is without a doubt one of the best romance motorcycle novels I have read in quite a while.
My complaints about the story: Cade’s name switches back and forth from Cade, Cabe and even Ethan. The author needs to decide which name is it and stick with it. Cade is supposed to be cousins with Morgan’s assistant, Stacy but there are parts in the book where Stacy transforms from Cade’s cousin to simply Morgan’s assistant who does not know him at all. This happens multiple times; below are some examples: 1. Cade’s twin brother comes into the story and Stacy meets him for the first time. (If Cade was her cousin, then wouldn't Cade’s brother be her cousin as well?) 2. When Stacy and Morgan think they hear an intruder in the house, Stacy asks where the back door is. The house is supposed to be Stacy’s house and Cade is just staying there but all of a sudden the house turned into only Cade’s house. 3. After a biker brawl, Cade is cleaning up Morgan. He thinks to himself that he should clean up Stacy but can’t do it because he is admiring her beauty, and doesn’t want to be attracted to her. Uh…..isn’t she his cousin. There are also some things that I didn’t find believable 1. I don’t think that an outlaw biker would invite a stranger (especially a millionaire stockbroker) to live in his house and become a witness to his crimes. 2. The author never specifically stated where the story takes place but at one time, an officer arrived with a Solano County badge. I’m not really buying the fact that Morgan lives in Solano County and pays $20,000 a month for her condo. She needs to be placed somewhere more like San Francisco. 3. I also don’t think that a woman who at the beginning of the story wearing an Oscar De La Renta suit and $400.00 shoes would demote herself to rummaging through a bikers ex old lady’s closet to find something to wear. At least not without a fight. While I like the idea of the storyline, it is written in a very confusing manner. If the reader can ignore the grammatical errors, and keep a sharp mind (characters sort of pop in and out with no warning) you will find that the story itself is a very good one that will keep the reader thoroughly entertained. The book was able to capture my full attention and continue to have me keep going back for more. I finished the reading in under 48 hours. Any book that can continue to keep my attention from beginning to end is a winner in my eyes.
ACK. Was not a fan of this book at all and I tend to like most books I read.
There were some discrepancies here and there like... oh, the hero's name coming up wrong once or twice. Or thrice.
I sincerely thought I was delusional and a broken reader because I must have skimmed too much and missed some huge detail. I was lost when I came across this completely new character/name in the story line and this person hasn't even been introduced in the book yet.
Oh .. then we find out who the name belongs to which leads me to believe the author must have had initially named the characters differently and didn't correctly change them all.
And Stacey, the assistant of the heroine, is the cousin of Cade, who's the hero. Cade has a twin name Eddie. But when they all meet up with each other, Eddie doesn't know Stacey (his own twin's cousin). WTH?
I don't know. I skimmed so much, maybe I missed something.
But still, characters were a bit immature, plot was unrealistic, and I just wasn't a fan which is a shame because the synopsis seemed awesome.
Honestly, I wish I could review more because there was much that bothered me about this book, but once I was done with it, I hurriedly DUMPED (note the edit, Ella?) ALL information about this book out of my head and moved on to the next.
This story begins when Morgan gets hit by a motorcycle when she walked into the middle of the street with out look. The man on the motorcycle actually saved her life by laying down his bike. He's also the president of the local biker MC, and he ends up taking care of Morgan while she heals. Morgan gets thrown into a world she never really knew existed, and with a man she's not sure she can live with or without.
The Filthy Few was not at all what I thought it was going to be. I didn't like it at all. I liked the idea of the story, but I didn't like the characters, and I felt like things just kept getting mixed up. At times it felt like Morgan's assistant was Cade's cousin then other times she was just referred to as a friend. There also didn't seem to be much chemistry between Cade, and Morgan. I really couldn't feel anything about either of them and neither of them admitted to having real feelings about each other. Then a lot of stuff that happened towards the end just didn't make sense to me, and didn't seem to add anything to the story either. This story was just not for me at all.
I loved it. Cade is the president of The Iron Disciples, a ruthless outlaw motorcycle club and Morgan is an educated uber successful stockbroker. They should never cross paths until they do. I won't spoil it, but the way the two meet is clever and realistic.
The real question is, can Morgan look past Cade's violent past and present and come to terms with the Filthy Few patch he proudly wears his cut. If she can just reconcile that she may have just found the one man that can look beyond her own tragic past and how it continues to affect her present.
I really dug this book. I'm giving it 4 stars just because there are a few grammar issues and maybe a couple wrinkles in the story. I think Daniella is a new author so I'm inclined to give her a break. After all, it's a hell of a good tale. Can't wait to read book 2.
As with all romance novels, you're either going to love it, or hate it. In the case of The Filthy Few, I loved it, but find it very hard to critique negatively on anyway.
Danielle does everything to make you see how different Morgan, the 7 figure earning self by mogul, and Cade, the badass murdering motorcycle junkie, are. These two characters shouldn't be together, yet they are, and throughout the work they offer a very compelling nature and way of life. Danielle really compels you and lures you into this crazy world.
I found The Filthy Few to be a lot like Sons of Anarchy in the best way. It keeps you hanging, keeps you reading, and leaves you wanting more after each chapter. This was my first read by this author and I am looming forward to what else she has to put on the table for us! A really good, keeps you hooked and on the each of your seat read!
I could not listen to her and all I wanted to do is smack her!!!

and that's the reason I couldn't finish the book. The story would be great, the character also seemed to have potential except main heroine.. I'm sorry I just couldn't deal with it!!!
Have to say this isn't my favourite, didn't like Morgan (the female character) at all she really sucked, most of this book didn't make sense, but damn there is a cliff hanger so now I have to read the next one, just cause I'm curious!
I'm sorry but I struggled through reading this it jumped over the place main characters names got mixed up (Cades). People who are suppose to be cousins made it sound like they we're strangers and so on it was a muddle and I really struggled to finish it..
This was well on it's way to being a 5 star read, good plot plus a good laugh here and there till I got to the last page......MAJOR CLIFFY !!!! God I hate them.
