I really like Hop! ( )

Absolutely amazing.
Kristen Ashley has a way of writing truths in her fictional stories that, if you let them, really hit home.
Extremely well written. Characters and world build are fantastic.
Filled with adult romance and suspense.
I loved it. ( )

I am loving this series. I think that this is my second favorite KA novel after Sweet Dreams. It is actually a better written and tighter plotted book than SD. I just love SD maybe because it was my first KA.

So anyway this is an MC club romance. Which genre I am greatly enjoying. When you've read as many romances as I have, you're always looking for something new. I liked Hop and Lanie. I didn't feet I knew Hop as well as perhaps I could have but he was a nice hero for the most part and only had one really dickish episode.

I liked that the couple had plenty of drama but it was understandable not OTT. I am glad that KA has finally learned to give each of her characters their own voice. Not everyone in the book talked in that abbreviated nonpronoun using way. Thank god. I know many people have affection for the old KA style of run on stories and I am guilty of that myself. But that doesn't mean that I don't see the advantage of tighter plotting and less descriptive filler about what the characters are wearing and eating etc. Makes it easier to recommend in a book store to a reader who is not already a fan.

Sign me up for the next one. Who will it be about? and BTW hurry it up! ;-) ( )

4.5 stars

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED Hopper. Good lord, did I ever love him. If ever I wanted a 'shield' then he would be what I would want. Lanie is a lucky woman.

I'm enjoying this series. ( )

Unfortunately, this book was a little disappointing. The characters are well developed, but the main female character is a high maintenance, drama queen which makes her hard to like. It helps that the book is written in first person so we see her internal conversations helping us understand her motivations a little better. The main male character is pretty soft for a supposedly bad ass biker. Also, there really isn't any suspense until the epilogue. This is really just a normal contemporary romance that happens to take place in a motorcycle club. I really like Kristen Ashley's work, and this book isn't bad. It just left me feeling a little flat.
