Wasn't sure how I'd feel about this type of book... some of the violence of the lifestyle made me cringe... ie the biker godfather's actions because he was created to be so awful, but the way the majority of these men cared about their families and the friends and became chosen family combined with the spice in their talk and relationships was relatable and they were softened and changed and the story was really well written.
