I actually quite liked this. I do think the author needs to tighten up the editing, but the romance and the characters, especially the hero, were so enjoyable to me that I'm going with my feeling and giving the story four stars. COLE felt good to read, and that feeling ended up being worth any editing issues. The hero was hot, the sexy times were good and hot, and it made for a really sweet, sexy biker romance.I liked the heroine, a fiery redhead who's sometimes a little shrill, other times good and tough, but it's the hero, Cole, who really makes this romance for me. This author wrote a really fine biker hero in Cole: alpha, over-protective, bossy, just enough jealous/possessive attitude, and most of all, totally in deep with his heroine. She was the one, his woman, and he knew it right from the first. I was in the mood for a softer, less gritty MC romance, and Cole delivered just the right amount of sweetness and biker machismo.I thought the story flowed well and kept my interest. Although I wondered how the baddie always seemed to have the upper hand, it was still fun to read. The action, the hero's response to the danger, all just enough to keep me liking it and enjoying it. One other thing I wanted to mention is that I loved the hero's grovel time. He screws up (but not in the way you're probably thinking), and how he approaches the heroine was just what I like to see. So good!All in all, this was a fun read, with some light suspense and some danger, and a slightly less gritty style of MC life. The real focus is on the h/H and the building of their romance. I thought it was sweet and sexy, with that hero hitting all my requirements for a hero. I'm happy I took a chance on a new author and think I got a pretty good read from her. Next book in the series is about Sal and Kat, and I'll definitely be checking that one out.
