Where to start....First while this book almost ended up in my rarely used DNF pile, I felt compelled to keep reading because it is short and I wanted to see if something would help right the train before the wreck.  Yeah, that didn't happen.The author admits in her notes, at the end of the book, that she knows nothing about MCs.  I really wish she would have researched more, I think it would have made the story better. I do think the author has potential, she just needs Beta Readers, Editors and to do more research before hitting publish.Nikki is a married mother of two; she is married to a jerk.  He treats her bad, belittles her and the smexing is not good.  Her car breaks down on the side of the road, a tow truck and biker pulls up to help her.  The tow truck is owned by the President of the local MC.  He instantly has the hots for her and offers her a job.  Her thoughts on first seeing him are "Oh this is like Sons of Anarchy."  There were several mentions of her being obsessed with the show, I found it irritating and it also gave me the impression the author decided to write this book based on her love of SOA and maybe reading other popular MC romance books.Scooter, pretty much the perfect man, except for the drug selling, gun running and occasional murders. Other than that he is honorable, doesn't sleep around and doesn't cheat either.Claiming Sunshine felt rushed to me, the dialogue stilted, the scenes choppy.  There were too many subplots going on and none were fleshed out.  I recognized terminology and lines from other popular MC books, I am not alluding to anything I just noticed the coincidence.  I "reeled in" my frustration so I could  make it through the book, however I almost lost it when he asked her if she wanted it "hard or soft".  There was the random use of "bitch" thrown in, yet the bikers for the most part "talked" in regular English, no slang.  In the course of the story there were three romances going on, the book is ONLY 135 pages long.  One of the romances is a MC member who falls instantly in love with someone, immediately makes her his old lady, then there is the romance of the main characters Nikki and Scooter and there is a third romance that kind of came out of nowhere.  There was really nothing in this book that made me like it, I kept reading it because I love MC romances and was hoping it would get better, but it didn't and the further in the more sub plots appeared.If you like MC Romances, give it a try, don't just take my word.  Maybe you will like it more than I did.I am immensely glad I borrowed the book via Amazon Prime.  Now call me a glutton for punishment, but I have heard that there will be a second book and it will be longer.  I will read it because I want to see if the author improves any.
