An Interesting Take on an MC Book
I’ve read a few of Devney Perry’s books, and have enjoyed them. When this book came out I thought the blurb was interesting and because I liked this author’s style I decided to try it out. I’m glad I did.
This book is more of an EX-MC book, rather a traditional MC book. This is because the MC no longer exists. The MC was disbanded a year before the start of the book. The book starts with Bryce Ryan, a reporter who has moved to a quiet town in Montana to share in her Dad’s dream of running the local paper. One thing that has piqued her interest is the story of a notorious MC, which suddenly disbanded, for no discernible reason. She is determined to ferret out the story behind the clubs closure, and she is sure the old club president, Dash Slater can tell her what it is.
Dash is reluctant to talk to a reporter, but is definitely attracted to Bryce and all their verbal interactions are fiery and lust filled. Things take a turn for the better for Bryce, and the worst for Dash, when Dash’s father Draven is arrested for murder. Bryce knows this is the story of the decade around their small town, but Bryce is determined to foil her attempts to convict his father in the press.
I loved that this story was about life for the characters after the MC was disbanded. It’s a point of view that I’ve never seen told. There is plenty in the book about how the characters felt about the activities they carried out during their past. They are still not Boy Scouts, but they do seem to have learned their lessons and tried to move on, away from illegal activities.
Bryce is a great character. She is strong, determined and also vulnerable. She wants a fresh start after spending years working in television and feeling like she’d got nowhere. She loves and admires her parents and wants to do the right thing, even if she gets carried away occasionally.
Dash is also interesting. He is someone trying to work free of his past and live life clean from illegal activities. He has many regrets and fears for the safety of his Dad. He is drawn to Bryce, but doesn’t want to become too embroiled in a relationship.
One thing about this book that drove me mad is that we sort of got a HEA epilogue, but the case with Draven is not closed by the end of the book and no one seems to know what happened to the victim and why. It means I’m going to have to buy the next book, because I need to know what happens.
Overall the book is well written and the characters are well rounded. I enjoyed reading this book and really want to know what happens next.
