Pitbull's Enslavement : Ares infidels MC #3 by Ciara St JamesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Predictable MC Drama
This is the third book in a continuing series that alternates with the series by Cee Bowerman, which starts with Boss: Time Served MC Book 1. The alternating series follow the same timeline, so you need to have read the previous books to understand this one.
Pitbull is a former Marine communications specialist who got out of the Navy a few years ago at age 29. He joined the Ares Infidels MC when a former colleague told him about it. It's an MC whose members are all ex-service personnel who want to be part of a law-abiding (for the main part) organisation. He now runs the bar for the MC. One night he catches a young woman selling drugs in his bar and takes them off her to flush away and he also takes the money she made to donate to the food kitchen. A few nights later she is brought into hospital beaten, choked and stabbed.
Luciana is forced to sell drugs by her brother who became her guardian when she was 17 after the death of her parents. If she refused, he planned to pimp her out. After Pitbull catches her in his bar, her brother loses his temper so badly he thinks he has killed her. In order to protect the 21-year-old woman, Pitbull insists on taking her back to the compound. He feels guilty but he is also head over heels immediately.
The plot was pretty predictable and the writing was quite stilted. I found it hard to connect with the story because the writing didn’t flow well enough. It was also hard to connect with the story because it was so predictable. I can cope with poor writing if the story is well constructed, or a predictable story if the writing is amazing, both weaknesses together really leave me cold.
I think I also found the insta-love thing a bit annoying too. I have to be in a specific mood to enjoy that type of story, and I don’t think I was in the right frame of mind to enjoy that today.
I think I’ve come to the end of the line with this half of the connected series. I’m just going to have to catch up with the ongoing plot with each Cee Bowerman book that comes out.
