Well truly not what I expected...thought it could have been better than this!
A book by MS. Martin, I always jumped and grabbed it and this one was no contest, but I must say that 1) it was not what I expected and 2) it could have been better. When you look at the cover, then read the synopsis, this was everything that I would like: bad ass, alpha, tall, blond, MC, is not afraid to defend his woman's honor and make her feel the most precious being ever, and it was a Bwwm romance. But bruh, I don't even know what I just read. I mean it was my genre, it had the alpha, bad ass aura, but it stopped there. There was nothing, nothing to it. At least if it was a POV then maybe, but this narrative and explanative took so much out of the story.
Tamara, boring, goody too shoe, sophisticated/bougies lady, did come from the hood, but better herself, independent but yet very childish, and gullible.
Axel, supposed to be this hardcore bad ass MC member, strong, and unforgiving, yet he was just ther and acting as if he was more afraid than others were of him. I mean Jagger was the true bad one out there.
This story has so much potential, but somehow the ball was dropped and this was so not existent and so not what I thought it was going to be. I mean Axel should have been more developed, more hardcore, more like those MC's bad mouthed man who only speaks a certain ways because this is how the members are, and yet we got a member who so happened to be civil and was just trust in this world...so not what I wanted to read... This means more in depth research was needed. It could have been one of those Epic story where Tamara was the target and Axel made sure to not only get her, protect her and love her, but he is going to stand against all odds, even his MC for the racism and not understanding of who she is to him. She was portrayed as a nobody, even Axel was a nobody when this was there stories.
That said, nevertheless all that, MS. Martin is still a good writer whom I will continue jumping the gun as soon as a story from her drops. Hopefully the next one will not only be better, but it will be a POV and better researched or explained.
