** spoiler alert **This was a first time read for me by this author. I believe it had a good story line and the author does a good job of developing likeable characters. The book touched on some serious issues including spousal abuse, regaining independence, self-esteem, PSTD and second chance at love. The story revolves around a MC, formerly a 1% club that is now trying to turn over a new leaf, go legal and atone for some of their past sins. The h is a victim of 8 years of marriage and extreme abuse by a maniacal husband. All of the characters are nice guys with the exception of the ex-husband. The one member of the MC that starts out being sinister also turns into a nice guy in the end. The story does not include very much angst and is more of a sweet love story read.The H is totally alpha and there is no doubt in the reader's mind that he loves the h. He's not OTT possessive but again there is no doubt of the feelings between the H/h. There is one scene of sharing when the H/h and the H's best friend, Reaver, have sex with the h. It's well into the story and the sex scene was written well. I was a little puzzled at the h's total acceptance about the sharing considering her past. But I moved on past that since both she and Trig were fine with the situation. The way it was written indicated it would not be a regular occurrence.The book includes a host of alpha male characters who are all portrayed as bad to the bone but at the same time exhibit a softer, sensitive side with the h. Everyone falls in love with the h and wants to protect her. She takes care of everyone and is the nurturer.The writing style is good, however there was some noticeable editing issues but they were not overwhelming. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it for a lighter MC romance read. There is a HEA and no cheating.I would like to see the next book in the series have a little more grit and up the angst level a little bit. I will be trying out the next book in the series. Hopefully, it's going to be Reaver's story.
