Review: Dallas & Luke
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 2, 2013
Didn't like this second book as much as the first, felt like Dallas lost quite a bit of herself in the process of getting closer to Luke & his motorcycle club family. Dallas knows the truth, that Luke has been following her for years & keeping her safe, that there were some dirty dealings with the Mayor & her life was in jeopardy. Dallas is also dealing with Frankie tying her up in the barn & assaulting her. She can't seem to let Luke go, even though she feels hurt & betrayed. One thing she doesn't question is Luke's love for her. More secrets came out of the woodwork - Maddie is part of the club & she is consistently mean & resentful of Dallas - we learn why & it forms the backbone of this book & really saves it, makes it much more intriguing. Maddie has a young boy, Logan, & Dallas is immediately taken with him. When the local motorcycle clubs get together it is like one big happy family, children underfoot too, at least during the daytime. At night it gets super freaky & we see a different side of Dallas, a very hot side while she watches Linda the beautiful stripper! Loved this part! While Luke is trying to get his hands on Frankie he contacts Charlie, an old acquaintance who unfortunately has some harm in mind for Dallas, Maddie & Luke and his entire club. This is when I grew to love Dallas again because she uses her business instincts and gets Charlie on her side. Luke says that he can't make Dallas his Old Lady - she has to earn it by showing that she is worthy just like the other women in the club. Dallas seems to be focused throughout the entire book on supporting Luke and keeping her place, even if that is 10 steps behind Luke & subservient at times. My feelings for the book went up and down but I am still in love with Luke & Dallas!
