Review: 900 + pages about a pathetic MC Club
Rating: 2 out of 5

I know I'm going to catch a hard time for this rating, but I feel I'm being generous giving it 2 stars. I just did not like this book which surprised me considering the overall amazon reviews were so positive. Maybe it's just me, but this was nothing but disappointing. I like raw reads that have a gritty feel to them when reading about a MC club.  This book was NOT like that at all.  It was far too mild for my liking. When I think of a motorcycle club I think of some foul mouth bad__s alpha-male bikers.  If you go into this read expecting something similar to Kristen Ashely's style, or the Undeniable series by Sheehan, you may want to look elsewhere. This read was not only tame, but lame to say the least. It was just ridiculous and just kept going on and on about the same s__t. I never felt anticipation, and was never pulled into the story. It was just too long and the plot was a bore. This MC club seemed like a group of boy scouts.  Way too PG-13 for this avid reader.Pros:* It was a complete story* It was fairly priced for a 900+ page book  ($2.99 at my time of purchase)Cons:* I was not a fan of Iris. AT ALL.  I like strong heroines that are independent and not overly insecure - everything about "Riss" seemed annoying, weak and immature.  She was so fragile she would be on the verge of puking anytime there was the slightest confrontation.  She acted like a young child not a young adult.  And dear lord she cried every few pages. It was mentally exhausting just reading about her!* I hate book virgins - especially the ones that are mid 20's and out of this world gorgeous - very unrealistic* Predictable storyline and plot - the ending was so cliché it was cringe inducing* I felt no connection to the main characters, or even secondary ones. It lacked character depth for me.* In desperate need of an editor* I got tired of the heroines juvenile vocabulary. It became very tiresome (friggin, holy moly, heck)Needless to say, if a series comes from this book (which I'm guessing it will since so many questions seemed to go unanswered/unresolved), I will be passing on it. I won't be recommending this to others either, since it just was not an entertaining read for me.  After completion I was actually pissed at myself for completing this entire book. I saw the warning signs early on but kept reading right along.
