Taking Heat
Where there’s heat...there’s fire.
Roxy Marshall’s life isn’t glamorous. Stuck in a rural area that recently became home to a biker gang called ‘Cascade Heat’, she feels trapped by the small town that she grew up in. Her dead-end job at Hungry Pete’s Diner isn’t much to brag about, either. All of that changes when she finds herself naked and alone with the gang’s leader, David “Boss” Rivera. But when David’s wife, Brooke, emerges and asks to turn the sinful twosome into a racy threesome, sparks start to fly. Will Roxy retreat to the tepid simplicity of the life that she’s always known, or will she learn to take the Heat and walk on the steamy side?

This is sort of an MC FFM romance with a HFN conclusion in a town called Collins in Oregon.
Roxanne, “Roxy” is a child who must suffer daily with her parents poor parenting; she has an alcoholic mother and a father with anger issues.
She always felt like she was a burden to her parents instead of loved.
Typically there is little to no food in the home for her to feed herself and from the time she was a CHILD in kindergarten she was responsible for feeding herself if she was lucky to eat at all.
When she was a sophomore in high school her parents essentially packed up and move to Nebraska and abandoned her since ‘she was old enough to survive‘. … I wanted to strangle Carla and Troy - ugh
Because of her crappy parents, as a high school sophomore she had to drop out of high school to support herself.
It is understandable why when David and Brooke come along, she would be attracted to belonging somewhere and mattering to someone; since her whole childhood she was unwanted and unimportant.
There is no discussion of safe sex or pregnancy even though no condoms are used - ever.
In the edition I read there were several spelling, grammatical, and story consistency issues; such as Roxy wears a flowing black dress in chapter six with no bra or panties on underneath but later in chapter seven Roxy is wearing panties. I hope later editions will have these issues corrected.
The short story emphasized how easy it is to “fall through the cracks” in this world. Roxy was lucky to have friends who cared for her since she had such a rough start in life.
Even though the story ended HFN it made me feel sad for Roxy. I had hoped she would get out of the dead end town of Collins but that was not the direction of the story.
I would give this story 3 1/2 stars but it lost 1/2 a star due to errors I mentioned above that any decent proofreader should have caught and corrected. I also dislike the lack of safe sex or even a conversation about condoms or birth control.
