STEEL – Bracken Ridge Rebels MC Book 1
Bracken Ridge Arizona, where the Rebels M.C. rule and the only thing they ride or die for more than their club is their women, this is Steel’s story
Steel:
I’m not meaning to get involved, really it’s not my fault. I’m the Sergeant at Arms of Bracken Ridge Rebels M.C. and it’s my job to look out for the club, ensure ongoing safety and above all else refrain from violence, where absolutely necessary. I don’t do anything by halves. But that’s before Sienna Morgan waltzed into town acting like she owns the place, and now she does, well the clubhouse at least. One minute I’m sent to extract an offer to give us back what’s rightfully ours, the next she’s on the back of my sled and I’m about to lose my mind. I don’t do romance and I’m not looking for an ol’ lady, but that’s all about to change.
I don’t mean to make her mine, but then again, rules are meant to be broken and I’m on the right side of wrong.
Sienna
He’s bad. He’s mean. He’s kind of hot in a don’t mess with me kind of way. But I’m no fool, I know this town’s run by bikers and I have something they want, something they need. I just never thought it would come to this and I’d be in the middle of a mess I may not be able to get out of. The more I try to run the closer he gets. I don’t know if I can keep resisting but my own haunted past lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce if I let it. I fear Steel may become an addiction but I can’t let that happen, I can’t let him get too close because if I do, he may just break me in half for good.
NOTE: This book is book 1 in a series but is written as a stand-alone with no cliff hanger and a HEA. Recommended for readers 18+ as it contains foul language, sexy steamy scenes, violence and hot alpha males. Readers beware the Bracken Ridge Rebels rule.......

Is it insane that I am jealous of Sienna? She comes to town and just happens to catch the eye of the MC’s enforcer. Steel is a bad ass alpha who is hot as sin but a big teddy bear. I love that he is a chest beating Tarzan but without being completely abusive about it. Sienna has been through a really hard time but she has pushed through it. She attempts to move on when her past catches up to her. This book has some seriously hot sex in it. If this is Mackenzy Fox’s style then she just got her a new stalker! I definitely recommend this book.

Two things....
I love MC romances specifically because of the alpha assholes who growl, "Mine", and make their women their property. I am all about the possessiveness of these men. So...you shouldn't have to wonder how the talk of "misogyny" throughout the book in reference to these men made me feel like shit. I must be a female misogynist then, since I love it when my man gets all jealous and possessive of me. By the way, it isn't misogyny when the men do what they do to protect women, including leaving them out of "club business" so they have plausible deniability, and honestly, some women cannot handle the brutality of "club business" and doing what has to be done. So, Ms. Fox, thank you for making me feel like shit when all I wanted to do was read a book and feel good while doing it. For future reference, if you honestly feel that way about MCs, don't write MC books.
Also, I DNFed because Sienna was a f**king moron, running into danger on her own to "protect Steel". Hmmm, does that make her a "misandrist"--a man hater? Must do, since she did it without giving him a choice, and deciding for him, and being all possessive.... What's good for the goose, right?

This book.
THIS BOOK!
I freaking loved it.
Sienna is running from her past, a past in which, no matter how many times she runs always seems to catch up on her. Steel is the bad boy biker, strong, protective but beneath his hard exterior is a man with a soft centre and kind heart. Neither of them is looking for love but it's what they find in each other.
The chemistry between them is off the charts, their easy relationship swoon worthy and let's not forget the STEAM. Because this was steamy as hell.
It was a delicious read, one in which I devoured in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I'm a sucker for MC books and I'm so happy to have had a chance to read this.
I loved the secondary characters as well, they were well developed without taking from the story and I'm very much looking forward to Gunner's story next.
Also, can we discuss the cover for a sec?
I mean hello, it is H-O-T and those tattoos! Where can I find me one of him?
If you love a good biker book with a swoony alpha hero and a strong AF heroine then definitely give this book a go, you won't regret it.

This book is a full 5 stars without a doubt!⭐
The MC Steel is the epitome of "don't judge a book by it's cover" and Sienna of "sugar and spice and everything nice".
Steel and Sienna are literally a match made in heaven that complete each other in every way. While Steel is a enforcer of The Bracken Ridge Rebels MC (a motorcycle club) and is tough, intimidating and dominating: Sienna is the the newbie in town who's sarcastic, beautiful, smart and they say looks innocent too. The two of them aren't opposites, they're actually kind of same, but they still complete each other like puzzle pieces.
Handsome Devil with Tattoos ✔️
Sassy female lead✔️
Smoking hot scenes✔️
Two dogs✔️
The thing I loved the most was how the story didn't stretch things and how Sienna wasn't potrayed to be stupid almost near the end. She was strong and that didn't change even when she had Steel. The emotions were in full form and you could feel the love, care and adoration.
This was a tough biker MC and sassy FMC book which kept me smiling from the moment I started reading. Gaaahhh, I just love them, both individually and as a couple!

This book might have been the fastest to DNF ever at 14% or so but I put the book down and came back to it. I still don't know if I will finish it because, let's face it, all the men are assholes in this book, especially towards women. I can get it's a typical women are only good for relieving their stress or cooking and cleaning with bikers but it's honestly just so fucken bad in this book. And the fact that Steel was going to fuck her out of his system by sleeping with any ol' piece of ass left a bad taste in my mouth. Yes, the author saved it by magically having him get a text the moment he was in a room making out with some chick but it doesn't stop that those thoughts were there, that the action was there. what's worse is that when he does sleep with Sienna, he tells her she only belongs to him while she's in town (super insulting btw since she doesn't sleep around or anything like that and she lets him know it too), but when she asks if he's only hers, he basically doesn't answer her, just going on about how she's jealous or whatever. It's clear at this point (despite the way the author keeps writing stupid things like him wanting her to wear his colors and what not in his inner monologuing) that she's just a means to get off, and I'm so tired of reading fmc that are just so dick dum that they let themselves be used like this.
So yeah, I am not sure how long it will take me to finish this book (currently at 43%) or if I will at this point because I'm not big on all this misogynist bs archaic way of thinking. Nor do I like my mmcs to fuck anything that walks, and again, while yes I get it's a biker book and they call their women bitches you'd at least think they have some respect for them other than just seeing them as walking vaginas.
I figure a 2 star is too low as the writing itself isn't bad but I am definitely not sure I'm going to be continuing with the book, let alone the series. However.... after reading a bit more of the book, Steel's inner thoughts about Sienna really get to me, and the fact that it's clearly only about fucking her also gets to me. I really can't see him caring about her, or falling in love with her for that matter and that just takes me out of the romance aspect of this book in general. Even in books like "The Pucking Wrong Number" at least have an mmc who basically holds the fmc on a pedestal and no other compares to them, but nope, not Steel. He was even bitching at himself when he was working on a car that he was missing whatever bitch was in his shop because his prospect wasn't strong enough to losen whatever he was working on under the car... and this was after he already spent all night fucking Sienna... I think I'm changing my rating to a 2 instead.
Probably the worst thing about the book is that the author has the background characters all talking him up. I'm sorry but it doesn't make up for what how he thinks, you know? Sure he loves dogs but that doesn't mean anything either. The author seems to be trying to tell us readers that despite how he actually is, that he's a great guy, desperately screaming "He might be a man whore and thinks that's all women are good for but look! he loves dogs and he helps with a rescue! He has a dog he saved! Isn't he just the greatest?"
Honestly the more I read of this book, the more I dislike Steel and pretty much all of the mc guys. The whole party at the club/church thing pissed me off because of a few reasons, the main two being how he allowed some hoe to throw herself at him while Sienna watched, then he takes her upstairs so she can't speak her mind in front of the others (because women should know their place abd be grateful for the time of day they're given 🤢) - that same room where he's had multiple women in for a fuck, treating Sienna like just another hoe. At least he's not as bad as Reign (book of the same name by Jessica Gadziala), who not only slept with another woman after meeting the fmc but also made the fmc change those same sheets in his whore room before fucking her there.... So yeah, definitely not going to be reading more of these books by this author because once again don't think these misogynistic assholes are capable of it... and the fact that Sienna still stayed is stupid. She needs to have more respect for herself but clearly all fmcs have dick brain in these books.
The whole part with her ex at the end was disappointing. There was a lot of the same lines used, and the writing seems to be both rushed and the quality took a dip, like the author remembered last minute to tie this part of the story up but had a max word count or something. In the end I was just disappointed with the whole thing and not once did I feel like Steel ever grew as a character, and Sienna's character seems to take a dive in the wrong direction. Like I said, the quality of writing took a dip in the last bit (around the last 25% of the book or so), basically through the whole ex showing up part and if I'm being completely honest there were way too many similarities between her ex and Steel. And I know a lot of the stuff he said was to throw off the ex but there is a lot of truth in his words because of his way of thinking. It's not all fake and just to let his guard down. It was honestly all disappointing at that point, between how he reacted to Sienna leaving him, how he treated her in general (and yes, I get he was hurt and mad but he should've seen the change in her, period, and not been all too keen to believe her), and when she told him she loved him it was like there was no reaction at all, nor do I recall him saying it back. He also pushed her away when she needed comfort. I just don't buy him caring about her more than seeing her as a steady piece of ass that he staked his claim on.

I loved this book more than I thought I would. I’m a big fan of MC books, but I love that this puts a different spin on it. There not part of the 1% and they’re proud of that. It doesn’t mean they don’t break the rules, but you can guarantee it’s for the best reasons. Steel had my attention from the get go, he is brilliant and I love the way he thinks. The relationship between Steel and Sienna feels genuine and they both bring something to the relationship. They balance each other out in the best ways. I cannot wait to hear Gunner’s story, I have a proper soft spot for him, especially with the little backstory we get and I hope we get to learn more about Angel too. And I dare anyone not to fall in love with Lola straight away. Well worth the read, and I’m excited to see what comes next!

Jayson aka Steel just met his match. Sienna is in town to handle. This book caught my attention as its based in Arizona and being a born and raised Arizona i need to read it. Sienna and Steel are amazing together. They do have a few bumps in their relationship as she is a civilian and he is part of the MC. The side characters are amazing too. I hope we get their books soon. Mackenzy is a new author for me and let's just say she became a one click author for me.

Good debut novel!
I'm not normally the biggest fan of MC books, but I'm glad I read this one! Unlike a lot of other MC books, this one isn't about the 1% clubs. They are more like a brotherhood, which was a nice change.
Steel is both a badass and sweet, and I loved how much he loved Sienna and how protective he was of her. It definitely brought out all the feels, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
Congrats, Mackenzy on your debut! ❤

I really wanted to like it
I don’t read a lot of motorcycle books, but I read a lot of books and this was recommended to me by a friend. The characters in the book we’re very likable. Steel is very consistent, while Sienna was a bit all over the place. I thought the pacing was good overall, but there were several chunks of repeated narrative that could have been taken out. I don’t like being told the same information/descriptions several times. There was also a lot of description, almost to the point of too much. I felt myself getting pulled out of the story every time something was over described. Nothing was left to the readers imagination and I like to have blanks to fill in. I don’t need to be spoonfed every single little detail.
The dialogue was good at times, other times it felt clunky and didn’t feel like it naturally flowed. Especially during intimate moments where usually less is more. This jerked me out of the story several times. There was also a really big deal made about Steels junk. I get it. He’s big. I just want to move on. I don’t need to be beaten over the head with that information. I don’t need to dwell and I certainly don’t conversation about if it will fit. She’s not a virgin, she’s an adult, let’s get real and get on with it.

This is a tough one to review. If you want sweet bikers who are legit and, apart from being slightly misogynistic and burly brutes, are pretty much angels then this could be a good read for you. I was hoping for something a little darker, steamier and more of a outlaw 1% vibe but these types of MC reads are getting harder for me to find. In saying that, this was ok…nothing special. Besides a small scene involving his sister and a scene towards the end there aren’t any club business going on, it’s all romance fluffy stuff. Sienna and Steel were good characters, their chemistry was good but the spicy scenes could of been more detailed and sexier. The cover guy is hot too and a perfect model for Steel.
POV: Dual, 1st person.

Okay, before we get to what’s inside… can we take a minute to appreciate this cover?! I mean it peaked my interest right away. This dude is the perfect Steel. Okay, onto the review…
This was my first time reading an MC romance! I had been wanting to see what all the fuss was about, and I have to say, I get it! I found myself really enjoying the MC aspect of it. The author did a great job building the setting and the biker dialect really got me into it. I totally see what all the ladies see in these biker dudes. Steel was big and gruff, but he could be very gentle and sweet with Sienna. He never beats around the bush, plays games, or complicates things. He knows what he wants, he’s confident, and he always does what he thinks is right.
Although this one was slow starting for me, Sienna and Steel burn up the pages when they get together. Their scenes together were hot. In a romance, I love when the couple can be passionate and sexy, but also sweet and gentle. These two definitely had both parts down. I found myself really liking Steel’s POV. I liked Sienna too, but I didn’t get a good feel on her personality or quirks as there is a lot going on in this book.
The one problem I have in MC romance books — and one that I’ll admit has held me back from reading one before — is the misogyny ingrained in them. The MC boys definitely have an old-fashioned view of women’s roles. They respect them, love them, and protect them, but they don’t consider their intelligence or capability to have a real say. Sienna definitely acknowledges this and tells Steel off, but ultimately it’s not conquered in this book.
That aside, this book was a fun read. The ending especially was action packed. I was on the edge of my seat! The author also sets readers up for the rest of the series and I am excited to see these characters again. There are a couple I am especially interested in exploring.
This was my first time reading an MC romance! I had been wanting to see what all the fuss was about, and I have to say, I get it! I found myself really enjoying the MC aspect of it. The author did a great job building the setting and the biker dialect really got me into it. I totally see what all the ladies see in these biker dudes. Steel was big and gruff, but he could be very gentle and sweet with Sienna. He never beats around the bush, plays games, or complicates things. He knows what he wants, he’s confident, and he always does what he thinks is right.
Although this one was slow starting for me, Sienna and Steel burn up the pages when they get together. Their scenes together were hot. In a romance, I love when the couple can be passionate and sexy, but also sweet and gentle. These two definitely had both parts down. I found myself really liking Steel’s POV. I liked Sienna too, but I didn’t get a good feel on her personality or quirks as there is a lot going on in this book.
The one problem I have in MC romance books — and one that I’ll admit has held me back from reading one before — is the misogyny ingrained in them. The MC boys definitely have an old-fashioned view of women’s roles. They respect them, love them, and protect them, but they don’t consider their intelligence or capability to have a real say. Sienna definitely acknowledges this and tells Steel off, but ultimately it’s not conquered in this book.

It’s always a gift to find a new author that knocks your socks off right off the bat!!
Tattoos. Bandanas. Chunky jewelery. The smell of leather. The taste of cigarettes. There’s enough testosterone in this room to fill an entire village, it’s almost palpable.
I absolutely love this new series Alpha bikers along with strong women that take no crap.
“Steel’s the clubs enforcer; he not only takes care of security issues but also rounds up cute, little lost girls from out of town who appear to be on the wrong side of the tracks.”
Sienna and Steel clash and burn up the sheets.
“If you were mine, Princess, trust me, I’d find more interesting and productive things to do with that smart mouth of yours.”
I can’t wait for Gunner’s book it’s gonna be amazing.

Strong resilient woman with a backbone 💋✅
Gah how I freaking loved this book! This is only the 3rd MC book series I’ve read and it’s definitely gonna end up being a fav! Even though this is the first book in the series I’m already excited for the next couple in book 2! And even though it’s not for sured a 3rd couple as well who I am even more excited for!!
Steel was a character who could have been a unlovable Douchbag but instead he ended up being a sweet, kind, lovable animal lover! who was not so much a Douchbag, but instead a lovable caveman. Who’s just protective of those he cares about!
Sienna was such a strong female character which was so surprising for a MC book, and I loved that about her!
She had a rough past and she’s trying to escape, but she quickly realizes that she feels safe with Steel and the rest of the MC
Because it’s a MC I went in expecting all the typical biker lingo and well let’s say it honestly misogamy that exiting most of these worlds, but I was surprised you this book since not only did it have less of the obnoxiously gruff biker guys with calling girls “b*tches” which this book did not have! And rather than just accepting everything as the way it is our female lead Sienna called out the misogyny and caveman behavior and addresses it. Which I loved!
My only complaint is it was a bit insta lovey since they each realized they were in love with the other after about a week, but what saved this is that neither of them shared their feelings to quickly which I appreciated!
Overall this was an amazing debut and I can’t wait to see more from Mackenzy Fox!
This review was a lil all over the place, but it’s getting late and I wanted to post this tonight!!

Sienna is in Bracken Ridge, Az settling her fathers debts and estates. One property is what the Bracken Ridge MC currently uses are their own. Trying to sell to them is a mess and Sienna finds herself going head to head with Steel their Sergeant at Arms.
This was fun, new to me author. I went back and forth from 3.5 to 4 because it was a little throw the kitchen sink at the story and see what sticks. I did like that Steel was pure alpha and Sienna doesn't back down from him. Overall entertaining.

Good read, Steel is an overbearing biker that believes in whatever he says goes and than you got Sienna who's very independent, who's been through a traumatic experience due to her ex, she's on the run from. She never had any plans on getting involved or fell for anyone, a biker at that but it happens, life happens, you can't run from it for long. You either stop and trust someone will have your back no matter what, and it's what she got from the Bracken Ridge Rebels MC especially Steel.

Ummmm, I'm not really sure what to say 🤣 the book was ok, but their were a lot of things i didn't like. I love a good MC book, the possessiveness, the claiming, the brutality of the men. Ya know, but this was like a preschool MC, boy scouts if you will.
Sienna was annoying af, she knows the general idea of an MC but is constantly bitching about them being misogynistic. Like girl 🤦🏾♀️
Steel was equally as annoying. His dirty talk was questionable, and I'm a big fan of dirty talk. What he would say just felt forced, odd phrases on the authors end. Sienna must have told him at least 3 times that she liked his tattoos, we get it, he's covered in them! Their chemistry was not there for me. It felt like they just fell together.
Then their were my issues with phrases and words the author used 😬. Nothing takes me out of a romantic scene faster than words like appendage. Or phrases like "get it on", "gonna do you so good." Come onnnnnn 🤦🏾♀️ I can't, although I'm very curious about the other characters books, i just can't bring myself to suffer through that anymore.

Holy Hot Steel... I devoured this MC romance in a single night (with locked door, natch). Listen, who can resist a big, bad, dog-loving biker who croons into his four-legged friend's ear? Not I! Sienna was a worthy heroine for the man, and their passion lit the pages. Sexy scenes, blushworthy dialogue, and a gripping storyline will have me reading more of M Fox, for sure.

Let's meet the Bracken Ridge Rebels! We have some hot bikers but they try to do good for their town. They have legit businesses and trying to own the land that the clubhouse is on. That is the only thing that is holding them up. However, when the owner of the land becomes deceased his daughter Sienna comes to town to wrap up the affairs. The mc thinks that they may be able to pull the wool over her eyes but she is a lot smarter than what they thought. So Steel is assigned to bring her the offer they have on the table. Everything changes when she saves Steels sister. Then you start to see the chemistry between Sienna and Steel heat up. Steel is learning more about her but knows that she is holding some things back, he is just wanting her to tell him. Well as you know that the past does not stay in the past and it rears its ugly head. Will Steel and Sienna finally come to realize that they want more. Can Sienna trust again? I can say that you will get a happily ever after. This is a brand new series by a new author and it is DEFINITELY A MUST READ!!

I love a good MC romance, especially one where the guy is a gruff alpha-hole with a soft spot for one girl 😏 And that’s exactly what I got with Steel!
Steel is the Sergeant at Arms for the Rebels MC, a surly mechanic who’s not a fan of relationships but also helps rescue dogs and has one of his own that he treats like his baby … full swoon!
Enter Sienna, on the run from her nasty ex and in town to settle up her deadbeat dad’s will, which brings her right into the path of the MC.
Despite some minor editing fixes, I liked the flow of the story and the banter and tension between Steel and Sienna. They both had to work hard to get to their HEA but it sure was steamy along the way! And Gunner is next, I’m 100% here for ALL that!

I was so excited to read a new MC by a new to me author. Imagine my disappointment when I had to give up because I could not cope with the overt sexism in the book any longer.
Comments like "she just needs to learn" in response to him being told his woman was spirited, and "even though she's a chick she put the men through their paces" when speaking of a female ink slinger.
It was just openly offensive, and I don't get offended that easily.
Such a shame cause the story had great potential and the level of misogyny in the book just wasn't necessary.

This is Mackenzy Fox's first book and she has done an amazing job with it. I got reeled in by TikTok and was not disappointed. All of the teases she gave up were hot and the book was the same.
If you like MC stories, alpha males who know just what they are doing, and the feisty females to bring them down then you'll love Steel.
Just a side note, if macho slightly misogynistic characters annoy you don't read this or any MC novel for that matter. If you can look past that and see super hot alpha men protecting their women and MC family you'll fall for the Bracken Ridge MC and all the guys in it.
Can't wait to read more from you Mackenzy.
Sienna is in Bracken Ridge to deal with her estranged father's estate, not that she has anything waiting for her back in California anyway. One of those things she has to deal with is the local MC club, turns out her father owned the land the club is on, so now it's hers. She doesn't want it, in fact, she just wants a reasonable price for it and to sort out the rest of Max's affairs.
The problem is Max was not the best landlord and the club thinks they deserve some remuneration so offer Sienna an amount nobody would take. Now it's Steel's job to deliver the offer and see what the new woman in town makes of it.
To his surprise, the super-hot Sienna has a little fire in her and is smart on top of that. The biggest problem is that since she came to town he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her. As the club Sergeant at Arms, it was his job to find out everything he could about her, so he watched her, and while she's clean and seems like she's prim and proper he wants her. He won't go there though because it wouldn't be good for the deal they are trying to work out and he's not good enough for someone like her.
When she saves Steel's little sister one night and puts herself in danger he finds he can no longer stay back from her. The club is now behind her for saving a club sister. Since then they show her a much more friendly side of them than her first meeting and she starts to find her way in the new town.
Steel and Sienna can no longer deny the chemistry between them and they intend to just enjoy each other while she's in town, but that soon proves to be harder than planned. Worse Sienna will have to face a past she's been running from and it may take her away from Steel forever.
Can he help her in time or will she push him away to save him and sacrifice herself?
Happy Reading.

Steel is book one by new author to me Mackenzy Fox. The story focuses on Sienna and Steel AKA Jayson. Sienna has moved to Bracken Ridge, Arizona after her father dies and is trying to get his affairs in order whilst trying to escape her past. To make her life more difficult she comes onto the radar of the Rebels MC whose land the MC club is on, she now owns. But she comes up against Steel, the Sergeant at Arms of the MC who is moody, rough around the edges and doesn’t want to get involved with Sienna. What happens next is a story of fighting our demons whilst opening ourselves up to new opportunities.
This book was wonderful… it is full of amazing characters who I can’t wait to read about and a flowing storyline that keeps you wanting to turn the pages. Finding out about both Sienna and Steel’s background at times is harrowing as they both have a lot of baggage which they bring into their relationship and they both seem to be walking through landmines as they try and work for a future together. I especially liked Sienna’s journey which has left her defeated and when she comes across someone like Steel who is ultimately dominant and at times high-handed, we see Sienna’s sass and strength come out. These two characters certainly do complement each other. They also have some extremely hot chemistry and Steel is not afraid to ask for what he wants!
Secondary characters were amazing and I’m excited to see what is going to happen next in this series. This story was a great read and addition to MC books everywhere. If you want a sexy MC story with some strong, sexy and sassy characters , a great storyline then this is a must read for 2020!
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Steel 🥵🥵
I can’t lie, MC romance has always been a favourite of mine. The Bracken Ridge Rebels series honestly takes the cake for me, and is easily one of the top 5 MC character series that I’ve read.
Steel is a typical closed off, bossy, but quiet enforcer for the MC and falls head over heels for new-in-town owner of the MC clubhouse - which she inherited from her father - Sienna.
They get off to a rocky beginning even though their attraction is obvious - neither one wants to admit their feelings.
Their passion is explosive and the spice was 🥵🥵
The character development and story progression were spot on and it was neither a long or short read. There wasn’t too much extra fluff added which is always a plus for me.
These books are very well written and Mackenzy Fox does a fantastic job of portraying her main characters.
Highly recommend this whole series - all are stand alones with a HEA however previous characters/events are mentioned throughout.

°MC °well written sexy parts °purely symbolic OW drama °no cheating
On the fence with this one. It really had potential. The plot is good, it's simple but not simplistic. The characters are likeable. The writing is ok.
But!
• The MMC pov sounds like thoughts of a little girl sometimes and I couldn't get over it.
• The clubhouse is called by MMC Church. What?!
• Certain things were not researched by the author so they get glosses over / omitted in a way I was writing storied as a 11 year old. It just doesn't read well.
•It needed another critical reread, a few pages added here and there.
I will read another one from this series, I hope it's slightly better.

What can I say about this man? Phew, he nearly melted my kindle. He's growly and definitely has some archaic views, but that kind of makes him more appealing. I loved seeing Sienna get under his skin and twist him around her little finger. I don't read a lot of MC, but this one was hot as hell, so it won't be the last I read from this wonderful author. I can't wait to get my teeth into Gunner; that guy is going to break me; I just know it.
The heat of these two will have you holding onto your kindle tight and not letting it go. Take your time to saviour every dirty talking moment. Love this book and highly recommend that you take it for a ride.
