Wow. Cat Porter blew me away with this highly original storyline. This isn’t some hearts and flowers romance. This story was heartbreakingly gritty and honestly? It was a breath of fresh air.The one thing I found intriguing and unique was the fact these characters were older in age. They had experience, a past, and they had been around the block once or twice and knew the score. To me, this helped the story become more plausible and I was able to really get into it. These characters knew the high a person got from love but they also knew the grief that comes with losing that love. They endured real struggles and were highly well-developed. From page one I wanted to know more about them.Grace is 42 years-old and has had loved and has lost it. Her life didn’t turn out as planned and it gets even worse when she gets some horrible news about a family member that brings her back to the very town she ran away from fifteen years earlier. Miller is a bike-riding alpha male who has had his own set of struggles and we find him at a time in his life where the lifestyle he leads has become weary for him. He’s everything Grace wants to stay away from but in reality he’s everything she needs. They are perfect for each other and we see that in their physical and emotional chemistry.The plot was amazingly written. I was on the edge of my seat and I can attest to almost having a heart attack at least 5 times! I also loved the dual POVs as well as the transition from present to past that’s woven throughout the book. I think both the dual POV’s and the transition really gave this book depth and helped readers connect on a deeper level.Cat Porter has a unique writing style and overall I am very excited that this is a series!!! I can’t wait to get more of the One-Eyed Jacks MC!!!
