Review: Very Good Fictional Love Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

After reading The Possibility of Trey, I immediately clicked this one. I don't usually read young adult romances but I'm glad I read this one. The author writes such a good love story I forget I'm reading about such young people and not people close to my own age (which I won't share)... Mel is a 23 year old virgin and how the hell can that happen when he is so hot? Lucille is 25 years old and running from bad past experiences. There's drama, angst and a whole lot of big alpha, protective men from the Hellions MC to provide the sparks. I also don't usually like to read about virgin male H's but Jesus did Ms. Hornbuckle write that one good. I had to love Lucille's patience with Mel when she recognizes his virgin status but even being a virgin he was hot, hot, hot. This will definitely be a re-read for me at some point.I know I approach these stories a little differently than some readers.  I am not looking for true non-fiction, I am looking for a romantic fantasy of a hot, alpha male and a strong heroine who fall in love and the love develops based on the struggles they endure to get there.  If I wanted a real life picture of the really bad things that are true to life, like I said I would read some non-fiction or do research on it.  The majority of the romance readers will never be exposed to a real life MC and most of them will never have a personal relationship with any current or former member.  I absolutely do not believe that a fictional romance book based on a fictional club is going to produce stereotypical ideas of how a real MC is.  These books are fictional.  What makes a books good is whether or not the author connects me to the characters and makes me experience some real feelings when I read the book.
