Review: 4 Lock Enjoyable Stars
Rating: 4 out of 5

I've read a handful of MC books, and only a few have I really enjoyed past the sex part. They usually are too graphic for my taste, or are hot and spicy for my taste ;) but somewhere along the read that is mostly it for me. But when I had the opportunity to read Lock & Key I found myself locked in the book until I was given the key to come out once I was done reading it.I really liked how these characters and the story of Miller and Grace is so unique, different for the world they are involved in. I really liked how this is a story of mature people. They are lost and hollow until they find one another, but as in every book the story must take us through a trail of obstacles for the characters to have a happy ending... or not.Grace and Miller are both in their early 40's, which was a change of age for what I've become accustomed to reading with younger characters at the front and centre of the story. This was a fresh read for me. Albeit we do get flashbacks with Grace, to when she was younger and first met and got involved with One-Eyed Jacks, she marries her first love, Dig who is a big deal in the club but a tragedy happens as Dig is murdered. Fifteen years pass before Grace returns home for her sister and well on the way she meets Miller (Lock).Lock (Miller) is a loner who is looking for something more in life outside his club. May it be love, or just something to fill his void, and once he sees what can be his filling he will go for it. But of course obstacles are in his way, but I liked watching how he handled things.There are things going on with rival MC, which had pretty much been a rift for years. I really enjoyed finding out what was really going on, and I must add that I was surprised by what we find out.Throughout the flashbacks we get pieces of the puzzle into what really happened to Dig and why. As to what really led Grace to leave for so long. Little by little we are fed information until everything comes to light. I loved that!As an MC book there is sex, but not too graphic nor over the top, and I was pleased with such. The story was more focused on the plot and storyline. And that is a plus in my books.There was enough action as enough romance, suspense and intrigue. The writing flowed nicely and kept me entertained and eager to find out the past as seek out the present to get to the future.I really enjoyed this MC story.Lock & Key is a great read to get lost in for a couple of hours. Whether it be under the sun, by the lake, curled up on your couch, or on your way somewhere in the passenger seat of a vehicle or where ever you happen to be!
