Review: One Hot Mess!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 8, 2013
So, this isn't my favorite of The Last Riders, in fact, it is my least favorite (and that's saying something as Razor's wasn't too good for me either...but it did have me hot and bothered so that won out).Now, as you can tell, just because it wasn't my favorite of the series, doesn't mean it wasn't good. With my obvious 4 star rating, it's pretty clear I enjoyed the read.So we start out in Knox's head while he does the dumbest thing he's ever done. Yadda, yadda...he needs a lawyer....guess who he gets? That's right, Diamond.Now right away, I like Diamond a lot. As for Knox, he's your typical broody biker guy. Aside from the crazy amount of times he needs sex. He is agreeably the most sexually charged dude in the bunch (you learn this from the previous books as well).So this book has all the things you've come to love in the others....the sharing. That's right, whether you admit it or not, you enjoy a good romp with a surprise attendee here and there, we all do (peek-a-boo I see you..and wanna touchie). Whether it's because  it turns us on or we love to hate it, we love it. Not too many series (biker or not) can go this seedy route and get away with it. Clearly Ms. Begley does and does it well. It wasn't done as much (or as intensely) as the previous books and I think I was a little disappointed.This is what I didn't like. Knox just pushed away and pushed away as much as possible. Always leaving Diamond to make amends and make him stay....that's just made Diamond look pathetic to me.I mean he was the one pushing away and she was just ready to get on her knees and beg to get him to stay. I just wanted her to have more respect for herself than that. I mean, yeah, it worked and he did in fact love her, I just hated that I couldn't imagine it working out any other way if Diamond didn't suck up her pride and self respect and let Knox see how she would have mowed over Kittens for him if he would have asked her to.Again, I get it, it's a hard core biker dude. He's Alpha, but he's not supposed to be sweep you off your feet alpha, right? Well I guess....doesn't mean I have to like it though (cue sticking out tongue here).So, to end:1: I hope this made at least a little sense.2: I did love the steamy hot sexy scenes3: I didn't like that the Alpha had to be reminded so often that Diamond would put a collar on for him.4: I wish he would have made some decisions about the relationship so it didn't seem so one sided.5: I really can not wait for Shades story. I already want to back hand the guy and sit on his face at the same time.6: Sex Piston's name...I mean seriously, even her parents (biker or not) call her Sex Piston...I mean (ugh*cringe*) I would never call my daughter that and still have a serious conversation with her. I mean, really? There was a point were they were talking and I LOL'd at the silliness of the name at the same time it was supposed to be used in a meaningful conversation. It really was just ridiculous.
