I received a gifted copy from the author to read and review.
I really enjoyed this book about Duke, a shifter and a member of the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club and Gen, a workaholic real estate agent. Gen has been employed to show the RTMC some property around her area. When they see each other they realise they have known each other for years as Duke went to school with Gen's brother. Gen had a crush on Duke back in the day, not realising that Duke had thought she was a bit of alright as well. At first it's not the right time for Duke to make his move, but one night a few months later, Gen is out with a few friends and comes to a bar owned by RTMC. This gives Duke the perfect opportunity to make his move.
There is a lot of chasing going on. Duke chases Gen and Gen runs away. Honestly, I don't know what Duke saw in her. She was seriously uptight and a complete prude. Gen was about to get together with a biker and she doesn't like swearing, crude talk or inappropriate clothing (shaking head). She felt naked if she wasn't wearing a bra under her top for crying out loud. It takes Duke awhile to put Gen at ease, but when he finally does, he decides she's going to have to get used to the real him, shifter and all. There were some very hot scenes with Duke taking full control.
A few issues arise within the club and with Gen's work. Gen also has a douchebag ex who's a cop and doesn't like that she moved on from him to a biker. Definitely enough drama to keep the story moving nicely without it being over the top. A few things could have been fleshed out a bit more, especially with the gangs and drugs in the area.
Overall I enjoyed this story. I did think that the shifter part of it was very small. I would have liked to see a bit more pack/shifter politics explained but I'm thinking as the series goes on we might get more of that side of things. I really like Duke but wasn't a huge fan of Gen. I will definitely be reading more from this series in the future.
