Monster
A president’s got a reputation to keep.
Blake
I’ve got blood on my hands, more scars than tats.
I don’t love. I f*** and forget.
When I see Lauren on that auction block…
Something inside of me snapped.
I’m the last thing she wants.
But I’m the only hope she’s got.
Because out here, might is right.
And she can either jump in bed with a monster to live...
… or get tossed to the devils to die.
Lauren
I wasn’t supposed to end up here:
On an auction block in front of a jeering crowd.
And then I see him.
The monster who’ll claim me.
A man whose hard tattooed body is matched only by his ruthlessness.
A man who terrifies me.
And when he looks in my eyes…
I can practically hear him growl.
Feel his rough hands on my curves.
His scarred body pressed against mine.
And the words keep echoing in my ear:
“Don’t forget. You’re MINE”
Monster is a full-length, standalone romance novel with steamy hot sex, strong language, an HEA ending and NO CLIFFHANGERS. Contains dark and disturbing themes, and over the top sexiness that may be uncomfortable for some readers.

Would have been good if an editor was on this book- so many grammatical errors. I didn't finish this book, but if had potential

DNF at 45%.
This was such a disappointment.
The cover was great and the story sounded right up my street. unfortunately the writing was terrible. It was clunky and awkward to read. I tried with this one, I really did.

I decided to write this review 50% into my reading. I might finish the book, but kind of doubt it. My belief is that you can tell a lot about a book within the first few chapters. I was disappointed by this one. The plot had potential, however, it was disorganized and lacked smooth transitions. Perhaps if it was properly edited I might've given it a chance. There were a lot of editing errors, especially, sentence structures and small annoying errors such as he vs. her - my vs. her. It was very confusing. I had to figure out what the characters were actually doing. Too much effort!! Also, the character building was weak and kind of all over the place.
I think the book will do better if was edited again.

DNF @ 10% …. I can’t. Just no. Hire an editor before publishing a book. Hell, let a friend read it and correct the errors. There are millions of books I could be reading, why would I spend my time trying to decipher what the author is trying to say / convey.

This book seriously needed a better editor.
Read
December 16, 2015I started reading this & I immediately experienced déjà vu & then I realized why because the beginning is EXACTLY like Never Love An Outlaw by Nicole Snow ! I was pissed off so I stopped reading it, this is the first time I haven't rated a book & DNF'd it & I will be getting a refund.

Poorly written, awkward transitions that made no sense in the storyline. Character dialogue often read like they were part of two different conversations. I finished it through pure strength of will alone. I almost DNF’d and that hasn’t happened to me since 5th grade, I’m 37 now. I don’t even know what to suggest to make it better? I think it would have to be completely re-plotted and rewritten to be honest. If you are looking for a well written but still steamy romance check out someone else, you won’t find that here.
For future Sarah, even suspending all sense of reality, this tale of a spoiled rich girl turned human trafficking victim who ended up bought by a motorcycle club bad boy with a heart of gold, was too much for you to stomach. FULL SYSTEM FAILURE ABORT ABORT.

Very sad and disappointed in this book; the blog about it sounded good and the enticingly good looking model on the front proved false promises. Almost every single page had typos and there seemed to be a huge conflict as to what the story was really about. At first it seemed that Lauren was the key character in the story but then it changed to Blake and he undoubtedly was thee worst representation of an MC president I have ever read. I think the authors overall concept of the story, human trafficking was valid but was misrepresented.
I would be willing to give this author another try but not with an MC book.

It was bad and I really gave it try. The beginning was bad but one of the reviews on Amazon said it got better at the half-way point (liar-liar) then I was at 70% thinking well I've come this far. What a waste of my time. The idea had promise but that's all I can say about it.
The story: a spoiled young woman decides she's going to road-trip it by herself despite her disapproving father and (boring) boyfriend, only her mom seems to secretly support her. Just a couple hours out (I guess, the author never gives any indication of time passing) she gets a flat tire. A not-so-good samaratan pulls over and offers to help but winds up kidnapping her and she finds herself naked and being bid on by bikers.
Here's the bad:
Spelling and grammar - pronouns misused in the same sentence ie: he placed his arms around him and kissed her. Quite a few of those as well as misspellings.
The h - comes off as spoiled throughout the whole story. Stupid too. The guy who stops to help her she flirts with, even thinking how she'll give him a kiss and maybe more up until he abducts her. The back and forth with the H was tiresome, a quarter of the book was them in bed having the same conversation over and over again. "Who you kidding, you love it" her "No I don't" him "Yeah you do" her "You're right I do, f**k me now" him "told ya" her "I'm leaving!" (runs for the door). Argh! She was also tstl, too many examples I could give.
The dialogue - I swear to you, every conversation had their sentences cut off, not just between the h & H but also when there was a group of people. The author didn't even give a he said or she said or Bob said so it was impossible to figure out who was talking. Conversations were left hanging and issues were never resolved.
The story - It was way too long for what ended up happening in the end. It was repetitive, the same situations happened over and over. The bad guys would show up and either manhandle or take the h then the "good bikers" would turn up to save her. Worst of all, the biker group she was with were always getting their asses handed to them and having to back down, not very badass.
The setting and descriptions - Vague descriptions of what people looked like. The story was third person but only from the h's perspective, at no time did you get into anyone else's head and truly, I would have liked to have known what the H was thinking. They never talked about eating, you had no idea what the facilities were like in the camp because apparently no one ever showered or used the bathroom.
The sex - Boring. It was descriptive and there was dirty talk which I usually love but here it was just confusing and not sexy. The conversations during were distracting, and once again all the cut-off sentences didn't help. Also, it was kind weird in a way. Almost like the author has never had sex and was imagining what it was like.
So, mad at myself for wasting my time. I won't let it happen again.

Okay so the blurb attracted me! you know kidnapped, being sold and then 'rescued' and of course bikers! I think this book could have potential.. but the writing was sloppy and seem to miss a few word here and there and the story was not what I expected.. the first few pages of the book I actually was like Ohh I like it.. Lauren the H of the book in the first pages I was okay girl! speak up and go do your thing! but soon after she left her home I just wanted to slap her! okay so here is my little rant about what made me close it and not read anymore.. okay so forgetting a spare tire... I can understand that a little but seriously If you go on a damn road trip, across desert you triple check and now where I wanted to slap the girl silly

What in the ever living fuck did I just read? The book started out okay. A girl just graduated college and wants to take a road trip to find herself. Okay. Her life seems boring anyway. Gets a flat tires a few hours in to her journey. Okay, shit happens. Meets a guy who is going to help her. He ends up kidnaping her and selling her as a sex slave. Up till this point, I was okay with everything. Then enter Blake. He buys her and then basically tells her that he knows she likes it and wants to fuck him. And she's all like "okay." Uh. No. So basically the book is about some girl falling in love with a guy who lives in a tent who bought her as his sex slave. Are you kidding me? No one bats an eyelash that this guy is clearly involved in the skin trade? He fucking bought her! Yeah, he sounds like a realllllll Prince Charming. Also, she pretty much just rolled over and took it the entire book. She had an insanely weak personality, which made it difficult for me to respect her or connect with her on any level.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I would Ave rated this book higher but editing was horrific. The basis of the story is rich father wants daughter to marry a respectable man. The Daughter decides she wants to see the world own her own. After much discussion, she leaves town heading anywhere. She starts getting adventurous taking side roads and finding small quaint towns. Her car blows out a tire and she has no spare. A truck stops and offers help. Next thing you know she naked and being sold at a motorcycle club. Blake outbids Eric and the mayhem begins. Couple bloopers of which the main one is she just hops on a bike and takes off like she has rode since a wee lass. It's not quite that simple. But all in all. Not a bad book. Could be a standalone but there are more in in the group. If you're expecting drug, gun running, porn - surprise not in this book. There are explicit sexual seems between the two main characters. Quick read for me but it may take you longer. Hope this helps someone out.

hot story
I early enjoyed this book there were definitely some twists and left you shocked, Lauren didn't want to settle down yet and want to explore and let her wings fly.
Or so she thought,,,the trip gets stated and you feel happy that's she's doing what she wants against her dad and drews protest. .but then something unexpected happens.. Will she make it out alive?
Blake is a Night Ryder. Motorcycle group that is having trouble from within and a few are trying to start on their own. Can Blake save Lauren or will he break her.
They have been through so much and she can't not give in to her desires no matter how wrong they are.
A great twist full story and I can't wait to read more.

No good
I stopped reading this book before it was finished. Lauren was kidnapped and sold to a hunky guy in a motorcycle gang. That was all fine. The first few chapters were ok you couldn't really tell how awkward the dialogue was but then they made it to the compound and it got really annoying. There was way too much talk during the sex scenes. I'm all for dirty talk but these were full on discussions, it wasn't sexy at all!!! Then Lauren wanted to go home but she still wanted the D so she didn't want to go home..... I don't know.... I was really disappointed. Maybe I was expecting too much...

Has potential.....
This story was a bit too 'over the top' for my tastes. I loved the story line , but couldn't get into it - the main characters indecisiveness got old about a 1/4 way through the book.
And the grammar.... this appears to be more of a rough draft : lots of duplicate words and phrases, missing words, the wrong words, using 'hers' instead of 'his', etc... this author is very creative but desperately needs a good proofreader and maybe a feedback group to take her book from amateur to a professional level!!!!

Proof reader needed
The story not bad but the misused pronouns are awful. You have to re-read the sentence to figure out what the author intended. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so frequent. Also there are a lot of added words that are out of place and some just out of place. All in all reading this book is work even if the storylines are interesting. The book could have used a good editor. The story gets a little repetitive and the heroine is an idiot. The writer shows promise but lacking proofreaders and decent editing her book is not well served as published.

Nope
Just a bunch of nope. I read 20% of the book before finally giving up. This book needs some major proofreading... especially when it comes to words "he", "she", and "the." Also, if you are going to write a sex scene... please re-read it a few times to make sure it actually makes sense (which you should do anyways). He flips her onto her back, and she moaned as he took her from behind... does that make sense to you? Nope? Didn't think so.
I got this book for free and I still would not recommend it. Maybe after its edited and tidied up.

Monster
I am giving this a 4 because of the grammar. Yikes. Please proof.
The books premise is good but maybe a outline or flow chart would have helped keep this story more focused. The relationship between Drew and Dad was weird. Mom at the end was way off of the charts. The rivalry between the two clubs was sketchy. One night of good sex does not make the prisoner compliant.
What was good. The actual kidnapping. The auction happened too quickly. But that was good.

Editing needed
I had to quit reading at 26% through. I'm ok with some editing mistakes but these just made the story disjointed and hard to follow. Also felt like the details didn't match up in a single scene. Example of both in 1 section "her rolled her over to her back and entered her from behind" I'm thinking this should be "HE rolled HER" and how can you enter someone from behind who is on their back? Just one instance but it's happened a few times already.

Way too crude for my taste.
So instead of going into everything I didn't like I will just do a basic over view. The main thing is this went way pass basic MC romance to very crude. I know the warning, but the warning didn't include the crudeness. Also the spelling and grammar were horrible. Half the time you could not make out or understand what the characters were talking about. I highly recommend skipping this book.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book & the ending. But I had to take a star away for the grammar, a lot of mistakes, misuse of the right pronoun (he, she, his, her) which caused a lot of confusion & rereading. Also a lot of the scenes skipped around & were hard to follow. I was confused a lot but it was worth it. I truly enjoyed the plot.

This work is in serious need of editing.
Ms. Thomas couldn't have read this. Any author that doesn't bother to proof their own work is just lazy and uncaring. If you can't do it yourself, you should hire someone to do it for you. I would never buy another book by this author. The grammatical errors detract from the story and make it impossible to enjoy this.

Horrible
I have read a lot of books on my kindle.. Never wrote a review.. But this is disorganized, grammar is poor, its frustrating. I actually went to read the other reviews to see if I was the only one. Sure enough, I'm not!!! I give Kathryn kudos for bravery to write, but there's much more that needs help. Please read the reviews.

Negative stars
Awful all round. Awful storyline, awful characters and awful writing.
Wish I could give it negative stars to illustrate how bad it was. Had to give 1 to be able to leave review

Is there less than 1
I understand fantasy, sometimes even violent, but I read about 100 pages and was repulsed. Seriously, some chick is going to be kidnapped, assaulted, sold on an auction block and then some how aroused by that...really...she is that depraved for...something.

VERY BAD!
Forget the lack of proof reading. Forget the story was pages too long! The writer is trying to write about something they know nothing about, riding a motorcycle! Someone does not suffer a few bruises or get a little stunned she their head hits a "smooth rock"

Love this book.
If you are interested in a book about love and motorcycles with a dash of suspense then this is the book for you. It has HEA ending and wonderful plot line. Read this and you can't go wrong.

Not for me
Didn't really like this book and I have read several MC books. I stopped reading half way through because my interest was lost. Some of you may like it but I couldn't get into it.

Edit
The story was different. I enjoyed it. The editing was awful. I can overlook minor errors but this was every page. I don't think I can do another book by this author if the editing is this bad.

A waste of time
I read to relax and this book was a nightmare to read. There are so many typos it's hard to follow. There are also major continuity issues. Although there appears to be a plot it is not developed enough to really follow.
