I love MC books and I love Bijou Hunter so when I saw this book and what it was about I was over the moon excited. This book is not the typical MC book. Bo our hero grew up in the MC after his father was gone, and then the MC turned on him and he spent six long years in prison for the MC, now out and with no place to go Bo returns to the MC he hates. He doesn't like them and he doesn't want to be a part of the MC but that is his only option right now so he does this while not trusting them and knowing they will once again throw him under the bus if they need to.When the MC offers Bo the club "girl" that is no ones favorite Bo is just glad to be out of prison and to finally get to be with a girl again. When he see's Sydney he is amazed at her beauty an quickly finds out that life has brought her to the place she is in the club. Sydney had a loving family and then she didn't and the decisions of her father made her club property a body to do with as they saw fit. Being the least favorite doesn't bother her in fact she does everything she can to keep her emotions in check. But when Bo walks in his angry mad demeanor turns to something more the more time they spend together.Not wanting to fall for one of the club's girls Bo try's to push Sydney away but she isn't something Bo can deny and they soon begin to fall n love. But the club is not a safe place to be, to much time doing whatever the club wants and no consequences have left them with enemies. Knowing that Sydney can't leave her father and wanting Bo happy Sydney drops a bomb that may mean the end even if Bo can get away safely from the club. And as tension rises Bo and Sydney will have to decide if they will finally be free and happy or if the club will take more away from them than it already has.When I started reading this book I didn't know how I felt about Bo I love the bad/good guy thing but Bijou wrote Bo so well that I was nervous she wouldn't be able to make me love Bo, but I kept reading because this story was just so good and it easily drew me in so much so that I would look and be surprised at how much I read. And then glimpses of the real Bo came through and before long I was in love with him. Bo was a great hero I get it he had a chip on his shoulder he spent six years in prison for a crime he didn't commit I can't blame him. But Bo was also possessive, strong, kind and gentle. I loved watching him with Sydney and him wanting to fight for her it just melted my heart more for him.I normally also wouldn't want to read a book about a "club girl" but I loved Sydney front he beginning she was kind and loving and did what she didn't want to do for the father she loved. and even though Sydney had been through more than anyone should have to deal with she didn't let that change who she was as a person or make her into something she wasn't. Bijou made it very easy to love her characters in spite of their flaws and see the person they truly were. Bo changed a lot in prison he was once a nice sweet kid but now he is jaded and angry but the real Bo shines through in this book when he is with Sydney. Sydney was used in one of the worst ways but she was still a woman that any man could easily love.This was a great quick read, it was gritty and sad but ultimately beautiful and sweet, even in the face of ugly Bo, and Sydney found a love that most can only dream about. This is another one of Bijou Hunter's books that I easily fell in love with and got wrapped up in. Bijou has a way with her heroes she knows how the write them to make me swoon. But I must say one of my favorite parts of any Bijou Hunter book is her epilogues, no matter how short or long she always gives me the happy fairy tale ending that leaves a goofy smile on my face, and anxious for the next book, and this book was no exception. Ms. Hunter is one of those authors that I wait for any book she writes and watch for any information I can get my hands on. Used was in short a fantastic read that I finished way to soon.
