Plum by Cate C. WellsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bad Girl/Good Guy MC Romance
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This book is part of a series about the Steel Bones MC, however, it stands alone and you don’t need to have read the previous books to really understand what is going on.
Jo-Beth, aka Plum, works as a stripper at The White Van. She also does a little extra on the side. She’s been with the MC since she was 16 when she ran away from her abusive foster family. First, she was a house mouse until she came of age and then she became a sweetbutt. She has worked hard her entire life and she refuses to be ashamed of who she is.
Adam is a millionaire. He is the adopted son of a venture capitalist, who handed over running his company to his biological son, Eric, and Adam and they saved the firm. But, Adam remembers what it was like before his mother married his stepfather. He remembers being hungry and sleeping in a drafty attic, but it never shows because he worked hard to become the golden child, to earn his place in his new family.
Adam meets Plum when she is at work on her knees in front of Eric, who then tries to stiff her on payment and they start a huge fight. Great introduction!
I really enjoyed the awkward quality of this book. Adam and Jo-Beth are drawn to each other and they can’t quite work out why, apart from the obvious physical appeal. They have moments of silence filled with hesitance and then fall straight into jokes and laughter. They feel like they shouldn’t like each other, but they do.
I really liked both of these characters. At times I wanted to smack both of them and then hug them straight after when I worked out why they reacted the way they did. They both had so many vulnerable spots, whilst still being very strong.
With this book, I had no idea how they were going to get to their HEA. I knew they would because this is a romance, but still, there were a few moments I wasn’t sure how it would get done before the end of the book.
Another enjoyable read from this very clever author.
