Hot Biker -- Damaged Heroine -- Insta-Love

I enjoyed this one, but wasn't really blown away by it. I wonder if the fact he didn't tell Tina about killing Darren is going to come into play in later books??

Tina finally left Darren after ten years, determined it was for good. Darren had been Tina’s first boyfriend then first love and she thought she would marry. But eventually Darren got into drug use  then lied, cheated, and was physically and verbally abusive. Now Tina is far away and out having a beer for her thirtieth birthday and meets Arden. Another bad boy: a biker with the Wind Dragons MC.

A good read, maybe a little short but doesn’t really take away from story. I really liked the plot and story. Had a bit of a problem with the “I Love You’” so soon but got past it. Characters were great especially Tina and Arden and all the ups and downs the went through. I recommend.

Quickie Review

This is the first book I read in this series, and I'll definitely be going back to read the rest of them.

I've read a few MC books, and this is definitely one that I'll be adding to the ranks.  I loved the intensity between Valentina and Arden.  It's like things line up for them.  I did question how she could go from the situation she was in to seeing where things go with Arden, but it's a novella, and I knew it needed to happen fast.

The steamy scenes are hot, and I love alpha males.  But I like it even more when the girls make their wants known.  The romance is fun, intense, and full of surprises. And I love the friendships that Valentina makes.  She definitely needs some pals she can rely on.

Overall, it was a good novella, and I need to go back to read the first books in this series so I can meet the other members of the Wind Dragons MC Club.

I have really enjoyed this series so far and even though Irish has been a character mostly in the background so far I was still eager to read this novella. Right from the start of the novella I knew that I loved Irish. He is a perfect alpha. I wasn't as sold on Tina though. I think both of them could have stood to have been fleshed out more (as the plot could have been too). I understand that this is a novella and as such it will be short but the story definitely suffered because of it. I wanted to read more about both of Irish and Tina's pasts and would have liked the conflict to have been more developed. I also didn't like that there weren't that many appearances of other characters that I love from this series.

 

I am really excited to read the next book in this series, which follows Rake, as it looks like it is going to be really good.
