I'd always been the good girl my whole life. Him? He was the bad boy. The outlaw who hurt people for a living--a fatal mix of ink and muscles and irresistible danger.
Then everything changed.
I fell into his arms, and those strong arms pulled me into his bed.
He made me feel reckless. He made me feel wild. He made me feel alive.
I know I'm not supposed to fall in love with him. I know that he can only break my heart. But all I can think about is how this bad boy wants to take me.
To hold me.
To claim me.
I'm an outlaw who doesn't do love. I've had plenty of girls in my bed, but never a repeat customer.
Not until her.
Ali.
From the moment I had her legs wrapped around me. From the moment she whimpered and gasped as I pinned her against the wall. From the moment she lost control in my arms...
... I was hooked.
Now, I can't get my mind off her. I can't stop thinking about her curves.
I need her back in my arms.
I need her screaming my name.
And I'm going to make her mine
This is a full length standalone romance with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA ending
Nope, nope, no. This book did not make sense to me. It had a good basis and the romance between the main characters was fine. What I had a problem with is that she was okay with the whole club drama, killing, dope selling and gun running. For me the most likeable character was Christina at least she was trying to get her to see the reality of her future.
This was a decent book. But, I’m confused as to why there are 4 books of the same thing. Padre Knights 1-3 & Alejandro. All the same story. Just different books. Not a bad story. But not worth 4 separate novels either.
Is it better to be with someone you love for the right reasons, if if that person is seen as a criminal? Or be with the wrong person because they can provide you with materialistic things? Who'll the majority of the dynamics between Ali and Alejandro were good and the story line of the MC and all that hazards that comes from a 1% biker outlaw club were pretty dark and intense; the banter between watching Ali play Bobby, her ex- fiance, just for the things she could get from him to running back into Alejandro's smoking hot biceps throughout the whole book was exhausting! If you can read past the BS, go for it. I had to stop at 60% of the book because I wanted to smack Ali so much. But that's just a super well written book, even if I couldn't stand Ali and her horrific selfish behavior.
I was more than a little surprised that I liked this book. Tbh, lately, a lot of the MC romances I've gotten my hands on have either been terribly written, immature, or over the top. Usually all three. So if anything I expected to at least be annoyed, if not disappointed, by this book. And yet I wasn't.
Instead, I was surprised to find that Alejandro: Padre Knight MC was actually a sweet, romantic tale about a biker and his first love. There wasn't any Jersey Shore style drama, neither over the top or excessive, but realistic and believable given the situations. The characters were well fleshed out, if a bit simple in construction. And best of all nothing was dragged out or beat to death with its repeatativeness(I know that's not a word but I'm using it anyway, sue me).
The scenes with the MC were action packed and separate, giving the reader a sense that the hero's life and his life with the heroine were two different things: a life he felt he HAD to live and a life he WANTED to live (aka a life with the heroine). There was also the balance between the MC life and the romance that worked well. The action packed scenes involving his club were captivating and exciting and then the scenes between the hero and heroine were sweet and romantic. You could feel these two people who'd been torn apart by both themselves and by the world come back together. You could tell they'd never fallen "out" of love, just convinced themselves they had out of necessity.
The balance between the action and the romance was good, something a lot of MC romances never seem to get right. It's either too much action and death or too much romance.
There was also the added plus that it was short, simple, and to the point. There was no over the top, convoluted bullshit trying desperately to get your attention. It had a story, it told it well, and I was satisfied by the end of it. Not overwhelmed or rolling my eyes.
My only problem with this book is that i simply wished it were longer. I wanted a bit more time to get to know the hero and heroine, both in the present and in the past, as individuals and as a couple. This is mainly because there were times I didn't understand their motives so getting more of a glimpse into their past/present would have made me better understand their actions and motives. It would have for sure bumped up my rating to 5 stars had that been the case.
I also didn't understand why in the hell the heroine was so hell bent on satisfying her parents. Usually, with such overbearing, uptight parents, the child either conforms or rebels but the heroine had the problem of constantly switching between rebelling and conforming. I didn't understand this which leads me back to there should have been more time to get to know the hero/heroine.
Overall, for a shorter story, Alejandro did it's job and did it well. The writing was good, the characters and plot all did their job (and convincingly), and overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read.
It's may not be my FAVORITE MC romance but it's definitely up there.
The reason for four stars is because I didn't absolutely love it. Too much back and forth about stupid stuff just to drum up some kind of conflict. However, I did like what MC business was mentioned. I just wish there would have been more. I had a problem with one of the secondary characters. That would be the female lead's best friend and also the cousin of the hero. I'm sorry, but her behavior was swept under the rug, and her behavior was sadly pathetic to me. Anyway, many will undoubtedly love this, and unfortunately I see some low stars in the future. Like I said, I liked the book. I also highly recommend it.
Ok story. More sexy times than plot. The motorcycle club aspect was weak and not at all the raw truth. I have already purchased WRECK and Mine. Hope they are more real, raw and gritty.
