From the author of the Walker Series comes a family drama like no other, a sprawling character epic, a forbidden love story full of angst, adventure, heartbreak, and second chances. Welcome to the mother chapter of the Lean Dogs Motorcycle Club; meet the girl raised by outlaws, and the fearsome man who will always hold her heart.Ava Teague left for college with a busted heart and a deeply ingrained love for her biker family. She returns home to Knoxville for grad school, just in time for her father to accept the burden of president...and for Mercy L#65533;cuyer to roll back into town, looking to patch into the Tennessee chapter once more. Felix L#65533;cuyer left the swamps of Louisiana for a life as an outlaw biker named Mercy, but it was his family, and the retribution he dealt because of it, that made him famous within the club. Fourteen years ago he fled New Orleans for Knoxville, to become an extractor and bodyguard within the mother chapter, guarding Ghost Teague's family, becoming a constant companion to little Ava. When she was seventeen, he finally crossed the line. Now she's twenty-two, and he's back in town as an old nemesis rears its ugly head, and puts the entire club in danger. The fate of the club is uncertain, but Mercy has no doubts about his heart; it still belongs to Ava. Now available as a complete novel, Fearless launches a thrilling new series about the Lean Dogs of Tennessee, and the women tough enough to love them. Look for Book II, Price of Angels, coming March 2015.… (mehr)

I feel like I've been on a journey! Yes, this book was long but I felt I got more than my money's worth....highly unusual in this day/time. It does have lots of description but I wasn't bored. I found myself thinking about Mercy & Ava when I was away from them. I wanted to read ahead when I had to put the book down to see what was going to happen. It had all the elements I needed to make it a "favorite". I could relate to their love story as I met my husband when I was fifteen and he was twenty years old. It was a different time back then! We have been married 34 years next month....he was my senior prom date. I'm thankful our parents took it all in stride. A very enjoyable book for me. This review is my honest opinion, I don't know the author, and I did NOT receive a free copy to review. ( )

There are some spoilers in this review. If you haven’t read this book yet, and want to do it, watch out. They’re hidden and I’ve made them as vague as possible, but I had some things to say.

Well. Fearless was one wordy motherfucker of a book. First volume in a series? This read like a complete series on its own (and had me just as — if not more — invested)! And there are eight more full-length novels, plus some short stories? *faints from excitement*

Okay, seriously now. This book was a rollercoaster ride in the best sense of the word. Gilley’s one of my favorite authors, and she was in fine form when she wrote this; I can only hope the rest of the series is this good. The characters, the romance, the plot, the action — all the important things that make up a story were on point here. The writing… this was Gilley at her finest, I think. I mean, who else could describe a freaking swamp, down to these minute, mundane details, in such a poetic way? The woman is a genius.

Now, I’m not saying this was perfect. The good parts were SO FREAKING GOOD it hurt, but then came the (few) not-so-good parts that threw me off and, imo, disturbed the flow as well as my overall enjoyment of this story.

⚠️Here come the spoilers.⚠️

Starting with a minor niggle — Ronnie. He was a dummy character, a plot device if ever there was one. I have zero problems with cheating if it doesn’t involve the main couple, and little more if it does, as long as I know where the things are heading, so it’s not even about that, but goddamn, I hated how Ava treated the guy! I know Gilley needed Ronnie’s character, but couldn’t she make that ‘relationship’ just a little more believable, just for a while? There was no spark, no chemistry, no friendship not to mention ‘love’ there. None. Zero. And Ava brought him home? To meet her family and club? Wtf?? And then she — and everyone else — insulted him repeatedly, out loud and in their thoughts, from the very beginning. I liked him just about as much as they did, and I get it, he didn’t belong — so then, why the fuck bring him there?? Not ONE scene in here made them seem like a couple. Total waste of pages (A LOT of pages, too!), in my opinion.

My biggest problem, though, the one that blew my mind and one I had the most trouble getting over was that first pregnancy. Ava was supposedly such a smart girl, didn’t she have a biology class at school? I understand slipping one time, getting swept up in the moment (just kidding, I don’t, it’s not the eighties ffs), but having regular unprotected sex, and then being surprised by the outcome? Wtf?? And Mercy… a sexually active man who gets around, and he doesn’t use condoms? Wtf??! ( )
