Pretty good MC story
I enjoyed this book, and this chapter of the Demented Sons MC. There was plenty of humor, sadness, hurt feelings, drama/action, and learning to trust again and moving forward in life. I appreciated how the story naturally unfolded. It didn’t feel forced, and nothing felt like it was made to be there just for a quick plot device.
I like second chance love stories, and I’m in love with biker stories- so this one definitely did what it was meant to do. It drew me in- making me feel like the characters were real.
I loved Smoke’s daughter, Mattie. She truly felt like a real teenager to me. She was funny, laid back, had her sassy teen attitude, very accepting, and did make some teen mistakes that made her feel real. She wasn’t a mean girl teen, a brat, or too perfect. She has just the right amount of everything to balance her out and I loved her from the start.
I loved the brothers and brotherhood of this chapter. I loved their playfulness, their humor, their true feelings and not afraid to show them. I appreciated their true emotions in situations and not trying to be over the top alpha/idiot man or no feelings kind of a guy. I felt like they had a good balance of who they were.
I appreciated Smoke’s dilemmas and how he tried to handle life as a dad of a teen, a president, and his growing feelings.
Nova- I liked how she was strong and not a bimbo who lets her body rule all thoughts and reasons as most h’s do in the MC genre. I loved when she would stand up to Smoke too. She knew when to walk away even though she was hopelessly in love with Smoke.
I loved Toby/Torque. I hope we see a story for him with his MC.
The only two things that bothered me were:
1. I didn’t buy the love between Smoke and Nova. Maybe from Nova, but Smoke!? Nope. It was too fast and questionable coming from him. Especially after something happened one night between them.
2. I really questioned Smoke’s feelings when he decided to share Nova with another brother after basically claiming her... though he states it was only a technicality and after that moment she was truly his Old Lady. I call BS on that. That was very left field and I didn’t like it one bit. Maybe early on in the story but at 80%? Nope.
I can’t wait to see what else is in store for this chapter of the Demented Sons series.
