I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.It can’t be easy to make a stripper and a man who has killed people into sympathetic characters that you care about. Yet that’s exactly what Jenika Snow did in The Outlaw’s Dirty Dancer, the second installment in her Grizzly MC series. In fact, I loved these two characters so much that I didn’t care about their past, only their future which is only because of Ms. Snow’s amazing writing skills.Brick is a shifter bear and the Sergeant at Arms for the Grizzly MC series. He is not a soft man and prefers being alone than dealing with people. His past is ugly and is reflected in the huge scar on his face. But one night everything changes when he protects a stripper from a customer.Darra has had a very tough life. She is trying to make things better but falls into stripping as a way to make money. She doesn’t trust easily but there’s something about Brick that calls to her.In the Grizzly MC series, Ms. Snow takes strong, alpha men and shows the lengths they will go to in order to protect the woman they love. I found it fascinating how Darra’s mere presence soothed Brick. Being around Darra made Brick a better man and he recognized that. The best relationships are the ones where each person brings out the best in their partner and that’s why I found myself rooting for Brick and Darra.Darra was also a fascinating character. Life had dealt her a pretty crappy hand but she didn’t left it define her. Instead she took control of her life and tried to improve it with every choice she made. The decision to become involved with Brick wasn’t easy but the good far outweighed the bad.The chemistry between the two jumped off the pages and I found myself holding my breath waiting for them to make love. And when they did? Wow, my fingers were burning just holding my e-reader. Brick is not a gentle lover but Darra held her own. Their lovemaking was exciting and filled with passion.I love the community that Ms. Snow has established in this series. It was good to see Jagger again and we were introduced to more guys that I am certain will merit their own love story.The Outlaw’s Dirty Dancer is not a very long book coming in at a little over 100 pages. Yet, Ms. Snow packed in everything you could want in those pages. There was enough drama to keep me turning the pages. In fact, I read it in one sitting because I lost all track of time as I immersed myself in the Grizzly MC World. Luckily there are other books in this series. If the first two books are any indication of how good the series is, then I can’t wait to read the others.
