Rating:  3 StarsThe Skulls Motorcycle Club series continues with Zero (Skulls member, BFF to Prue and Trevor) and Prue (School teacher, sister of Trevor and BFF to Zero).  Zero's best friend is murdered and he attempts to kill the murderer.  However, the guy did not die and now he is out to seek revenge on Zero and everyone he cares about, including Prue.It was interesting getting to know Zero.  He valued all of his friendships and the way he felt about Prue was endearing.  The banter between the two of them was so funny.  They seemed to really click with each other.  Prue proved to be a very strong heroine.  Because she spent so much time with Zero growing up, she was well seasoned to deal with The Skulls MC.  Actually, I found this concept refreshing.  Zero did not have to sell the club or lifestyle on Prue.  He did not have to keep her in the dark about the threat.  He felt that she could handle any and everything that came up and he shared all of the information to help keep her safe.  They were a team, reminding me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  I LOVED when Prue stood up to Tate!!!  She held her own with everyone in the MC and they respected her for it.  The dominant sex between Zero and Prue was hot, hot, hot.  Zero was the man inside the bedroom and Prue let him.Once again, the drama/action in this book was exciting!  The level of violence and pain administered was very high.  I found myself cringing at some of it, which kept me interested in reading this story.  As always, all of The Skulls appeared in the book, where we were able to catch-up with their life.  Devil and Chaos Bleeds also makes an appearance.  This is one of the many things I like about this series.  While a main character's book maybe over, they continue to appear in future installments, making their book life last longer.While this was not one of my favorite books in the series,  I enjoyed the series, but think I'm more hooked on the Chaos Bleeds series. It's good that these MC series are very different.  I think the Skulls are more mild mannered while Chaos Bleeds are really dominant and hardcore bikers.  I enjoy reading both of these biker series.  Another plus...I do not have to wait 6 months to get future books.  I love Sam Crescent for it!  Butch's story is up next and I can't wait!!Why Not 5 Stars?I could not connect with Zero and Prue.  I was surprised by this because they already had a previous relationship, which I liked. Meaning, they did not just meet and were going through the getting to know  you stage.  They already knew each other very well.  I'm thinking I was not given enough information about their previous relationship for me to get behind the couple.It dragged for me.  The dialogue between Prue and Zero centered around their love of Trevor.  I became tired of reading the Trevor commentary, when very little time was invested in developing his character.  Also, everyone seemed to dwell on the fact that Zero botched killing the threat.  This was constantly mentioned and contributed to the story dragging.  Ugh, I hate to say it, but when Zero and Prue finally hooked up, it went on, and on, and on.  It was hot and exciting, but it lasted forever!  I think I would have preferred if they hooked up sooner and the sex scenes were spread out throughout the story instead of all at once.  Just my two cents.
