What could be more combustible than a hard-core, tough-as-nails biker and a girl-next-door-with-an-inner-wild-child counselor? Throw in some intellect, loyalty, and more charm that a trinket store, and you get a rowdy romp meant to be read in one sitting.
Lang’s bad boy don’t-fuck-with-me attitude is a force to be reckoned with. His authoritative behavior is not only a necessity for his role as president of the Sons of Odin, but it’s evident from the first sentence. He’s strong, intelligent, and has a sweet fatherly side that could make any girl swoon. My unsureness about his character dissolved the moment his sisters were introduced. He’s full of surprises, and that whole alpha male thing he’s got going on can make a woman reevaluate her what-I-want-in-a-husband checklist; which is exactly what happened to Lily.
Lily is full of surprises herself, and no one was happier to discover them than Lang. The exchanges between them are sexy emotional foreplay leading right up to the steaming physical. Neither could outsmart the other, and what fun they had getting acquainted – and what fun I had “watching” it all unfold.
The suspense and in-control violence gives an inside look into the Brothers’ lives which keeps the story real. There are no kittens and rainbows and unicorns. Readers get a first-hand look at Lang’s life, and Rand did a note-worthy job of making him loveable without taking away his roughness. His gentle, firm presence in his sisters’ lives, and the way he can combine his dedication to both families, is further testament to the author’s abilities. The characters are well-rounded, and both develop emotionally. Kudos to Rand!
Lily had her own struggles, and she dealt with her life the best she could – with help from her bestie. Her being a counselor to troubled kids didn’t equate to a perfect life for herself. She had her own battles to fight, and those struggles made her real.
It’s a fast-paced story, but time seemed to go unnoticed. I know there’s more for Vincent and Tina; I feel it in my spirit, and I can’t wait to read it on my Kindle.
Rating system: Cups of coffee – the less the better
0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.
My rating: 0 cups of coffee
