About this ebook

If you love the motorcycle romances of Joanna Wylde and Julie Ann Walker, don’t miss Violetta Rand’s irresistible novel about a sexy-as-sin biker who tempts a good girl to go bad.

Lang Anderson may be the new leader of the Sons of Odin motorcycle club, but his personal life is in shreds. He’s struggling to take care of his three young sisters in the wake of tragedy, while rumors of drug dealing within his ranks jeopardize everything he’s built. The last thing he needs is another distraction—like a bar brawl over a woman—but Lang is a sucker for a damsel in distress. And this one gets him roaring like a finely tuned engine.

High school guidance counselor Lily Gallo is no fender bunny. So why can’t she get Lang off her mind? Lily’s head says the rugged, rough-and-tumble biker who came to her aid is bad news. Her body begs to differ. But when Lang’s troubled kid sister walks into her office, Lily’s determined to help, even if it puts her in the crossfire of a gang war. On a crash course with danger and desire, Lily partners up with Lang to fight for his family—and for love.

Ratings and reviews

This is a tough one to review. I actually really enjoyed the romance part of the book. Lang and Lily are such an unlikely pair (school counselor and a MC Prez)but I found their attraction and chemistry worked for me. Loved the way Lang cared for his sisters and the attention and care he gave Lily. What didn't quite seem realistic was the MC part. Not that I have a clue about the inner workings of an MC club but I would assume the Prez needs to be a take no excuses badass. Lang never really seems that way. He's always saying the club and brothers come first but it seems that his sisters really come first in his life. Overall though I did enjoy the book and would recommend it.

Rand enters the subgenre of the MC with a twist that makes it all her own. The plot was fast paced and exciting. Her vivid writing brings everything to life in an unforgettable way. At the same time, she really humanizes the world surrounding the MC, without detracting from the aura. It was an excitingly fascinating whole. Her characters come to life in a way that makes them seem to be part of your life. The hero of the tale is quite multifaceted. I loved how we got to see all sides of him: family man, MC president, lover. He was the perfect contrast for the heroine in the tale. I loved the way that they came together and how they contrasted one another, while also fitting together perfectly. Surrounded by the fantastic secondary characters that Rand rounds out her story with, this was a cast to be remembered. Rand never fails to bring the heat to her exciting and fast paced novels. This one is definitely no exception. It is the perfect start to what promises to be an unforgettable series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Opposites attract. Loved how she gave him a chance. Hot sex and love for his sisters
