Spoiler Ahead This was a pretty good book. Fiona was a private investigator in Los Angeles when her cousin was murdered. She was determined to find her cousin's killer. What she didn't count on was Jack Pollari the insanely hot, bad-boy president of the MC who takes an immediate interest in her. I liked both of these character's right away. Fiona knows that she shouldn't get involved with Jack but she can't help herself. This was a short quick read. The book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. This is a new series too me and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Very short quick read (as in 100 pages) This story has real potential (woman is trying to find out who killed her cousin and catches the eye of the local MC President). The writing is pretty good and this ends in a major cliffhanger. I will probably wait to see if it comes out as a set, instead of reading it as a serial.

This is the second book I have read from this author and it is just a tad bit better than the first. Why do you need multiple chapters for one particular scene? Especially since your description of sex is lackluster. But hey, you nailed an over-the-top description of the club President. Did you even research MCs first? Personally I hope that Jack ends up killing Fiona for the mountain of lies she has told him. But...I won't be continuing the series so I'll never know.

This story had so much potential, actually it had more than potential because it was a very very good story. Unusual for this genera, in my experience anyway, and very unique. The characters were great, well thought out and developed and the descriptions were perfect. You can feel the chemistry between them, be it lust, mistrust or quiet disdain simmering right below the surface but never breaking through giving the interactions between the mc president and VP layers, each with a different meaning. My issue comes in with the fact that this book ends just when the story really gets going. It ends at a very unnatural point in the story progression. I would imagine if the entire series had been one book, which is what honestly should have happened, this first installment would have ended before the middle, right at the point when it sucks you in, you are invested in the characters and plot and just as everything starts really getting going. As an author it seems to me like spitting it into multiple novellas would be a smart idea, as I got the first for free and now will have to pay for the next two installments to finish what is very obviously one book that has been split into thirds in a great marketing strategy. You get just enough story to suck you in and make you want to continue but not enough to where it feels like you read entire story, a complete book, that happened to end on a cliff hanger, it definitely did not seem like the first whole book in a series of books. As I said, as an author that's a pretty genius marketing plan. As a reader though I can't help but feel a little bit ripped off and to an extent put off. Not just because I will now have to pay $6.00 to purchase the next two installments of this book, and personally even though the writing is good, the plot sound and the characters excellent I just can't help but feel like $2.99 a piece for the next two "books" is a bit of a rip off since each one comes in at under 115 pages. It seems kind of expensive for a ninety something page continuation of the same exact story. It feels like I'm reading a story published in a newspaper or magazine from the 1800's when they would print books but split them up into serials. I was left feeling cheated that I didn't get the entire story, as is so often the case with book series' on kindle I find. I know a lot of authors give the first part for free, to hook the readers, then charge for the rest of the story in a series of short novellas in an effort to earn more money, and I am all for supporting good authors, especially self published ones, which are few and far between, but I do get a bit tired of paying the equivelant price of a hard backed book for what amounts to one book split into three to five novellas so that someone can charge $2.99 to $4.99 per book instead of publishing it as one story and charging just $2.99 to $4.99 for it by itself. I'm not saying that was what this author did, because I have no clue, just that I have seen it happen on kindle time after time after time. Book series are all well and good, but could you imagine if all the Harry Potter book had been split into three books each, how frustrating that would be to read? Having to read three "books" just to read one entire storyline, having to pay for the same story that would easily have fit into one book three times? For all my whiney bitching I do have to say that I am probably going to end up buying the other two, because I am that interested in what will happen, I want to we if my guess about her cousins murderer is correct and I want to see what the chemistry between the two mins involves into. I can find absolutely no fault with the writing or the story, because it was good and clearly I am hooked. I just hope I'm not frustrated at the end at the story serial style they were published in or the price for a mere ninety something pages, because I don't want that to overshadow my love of the story and the characters for me. Being a young mother $6.00 (or more accurately I suppose $5.98) could do a lot more than buy me two copies of what should have probably been one full length book, such as paying for slushies on Thursdays for both my in school sons for five weeks, which is why I buy kindle books in the first place, because they're cheaper (not to mention easier to store lol) than physical copies, so I can generally save money and still feed my reading addictions, I guess I will have to wait until the end of the series to see which Astrid wins out in the end, frugal mom Astrid who is frustrated with kindle trickery or reading addicted, book obsessed Astrid who would do just about anything for a good story.

Please note the three star rating was more about story length and my opinion that it would have been better told as one solid hand alone than it was a reflection of my views on the overall story (what I got to read of it in this book anyway), plot, characters or the merit of the writing. I think this author is very good at why she does and was pleasantly surprised that this book was well above what I consider average for authors of this genre on kindle. I'd probably give it four and a half stars for the uniqueness of the plot alone just for the simple fact that Fiona wasn't kidnapped and didn't have to be rescued by the mc president and wasn't either a reformed club whore with a heart of gold or a shy 18 to early 20's either virgin or girl with little experience who had to be lured or commanded and bossed into a relationship with the biker who later fought with himself against the idea of having a more than casual relationship with her, as that seems to be a fitting description of quite a lot of books in this genre in my experience

I really dislike books done in parts!! I'd rather pay more and get the whole story. I almost feel like it is unethical & a marketing ploy to get more money. I will not be reading the rest of the series. I like this author but will be very careful to make sure I have a full book before getting anymore.

[Catherine Marie Meyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

definitely wow

i am pleasantly surprised with this story, it is a good one. to meet the head honcho right off the bat is attention riveting, to say the least. good story, i will be purchasing the rest.

[Kbird · Rating 2 out of 5]

He found a condom - a Trojan XL Magnum - I noticed.

That pretty much sums up the book.

Badass biker dude with a ridiculously huge cock turns into law abiding motorcycle club member with a huge cock. IDK, the big cock thing is ridiculous. It’s pointed out A LOT.

4.5 ⭐️

Very good and quick read! Both of the characters were well written and I liked how their relationship developed even though it was only done in 100 pages. If you like MC romances thank you will certainly like this book.

Cliffhanger get the rest before you start.
Totally worth it

2 ⭐️ 1 🌶️

Too short, MMC is too trusting for a MC. I want a MC book with outlaws and trouble, not this

[Sharlene]

Fiona goes in search of her cousin's killer. Jack is somehow in the middle of it all. Loved the characters. Sex scenes are extremely HOT! Development of relationship is realistic and goes at a good pace. Storyline is good and the writing is easy to follow.

I don't like the serial aspect of the books. Just as you are getting to a good part, the book ends. When I received the first book, the synopsis said 1 of 3 so I figured I could live with that. But now I'm seeing that there are actually 4 parts. So now I'm stuck weighing my options of whether to continue on with the series or not. Seems to me that this could have been, at most, a 2 part series but the author has stretched it out to make a little more dough. Still not sure what to do.......

[Cyndi Lovette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very enjoyable short read with a twist of a mystery in it which when is revealed I hope it doesn't come between Fiona and Jack, but could there be another twist in there? I love the way the story goes between Fiona and Jack's POV. I like that Fiona can defend herself and don't need to wait on Jack or any other man for that and I think that is something that attracts Jack to Fiona along with her simple but good looks. I am anxious to read the rest of the series it is sure to keep me glued to the pages.

[Shellie Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an OK read but it just stops at a good part to be continued in the next installment. I really hate cliffhangers like that. It will cost a fortune to finish the series and there just isn't enough in each one to justify buying it for me. I would have liked to find out what happens but not for the price I would have to pay to finish for a book. This could have easily been combined to be a real book with all 4 parts together and I would have paid $4.99 or so for it. JMPO.

[Paige · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the way this book reads, the switch from Jack's first person perspective to Fiona's first person perspective. I like the fact that there is a mystery to be solved and that Fiona can actually handle herself rather than waiting for Jack to save her. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

[Mel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm interested to keep reading the series just to see what happens! Jack anf Fiona are a good coupling, their banter is entertaining. The suspense and atmosphere of the story is well done. There is certainly lots of descpription of what the characters look like. The dual narrative is something different from other stories I've read recently.

[CallMeVal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good fast read. Cliffhanger at the end and am definitely picking up the next book. Not sure where people are getting that it's like SOA cause it's not anything like it. Hot motorcycle men. I love biker books.

[Shannon Davison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick little Read

Part 1 of 3 in this erotic mystery story. She's trying to find out who killed her cousin because the cops have closed the file. She wants justice, but what will she do to get it?

[Jana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok

I wish there was a little more mystery to the story. I like that Fiona is a private investigator trying to infiltrate the MC to find out who killed her cousin. I wish there was a little more Jack POVs, but it's a good start.

[Jasmyne Vela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay

Don't really care for the photos far. I like Jack and the generalized idea of the story just really don't like the way it's going so far. Most likely won't be reading the second book.

[M · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read

A young woman on a pathway of revenge for her cousins murder finds herself seeking out members of a motorcycle club that she thinks murdered her cousin, but can she keep her heart safe in the mean time?

[Jillian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great beginning to a series! The two main characters are both very strong, independent and intriguing. Full of mystery, hotness and other characters that you cannot wait to read about. It does end on a cliffhanger but that just wants me to read more from this author and this series.

[Susan Destefano cavallo zimmerman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sexy

Sexy president meets naive cousin. Fiona falls for Jack but questions whether he is responsible for Ali's death, or is it Lou, Jacks VP? Quick, dazzling read keeps you turning pages for more!

[Amanda Griffith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great start to a series

Just when things start to get really interesting, you're left hanging wanting more. Fiona is searching for her cousin's killer amongst an MC. Danger could be lurking for her.
