What I love most about a good MC book is that enduring sense of a family bond, with or without blood ties. This book has a heartwarming bond between all the myriad of characters; and what characters they are! Lily "lil" returns to her MC family after an 8year absence while she was pursing an advanced degree in history(girl after my own heart.) Her father Low is the MC President and she has always been the MC's princess, a badass scary center of the family princess. It a really well developed character and she is very likable. Lily and the VP "Tank" aka Roman have a tangible chemistry that really make this story work, I really felt the friendship and the lust. Some of the best scenes however, involve the MC as a whole-how they gather, party, fight and unite...there is such a cohesiveness to the MC'S bond. For a real biker family feel this is a great great book. There are of course some things a tiny bit unrealistic, but I was willing to roll with it(ie the VP and the presidents daughter? Not without his say so, which apparently was dad's plan all along hehe!) Even Lily 's monstrous guard dogs are great named after Lenny and George from of mice and men(her favorite book)- Lily tells tank she studied English literature, but she is offered a job as a history professor(small head scratcher  there.) After Tank and Lilys fight, and During the kidnapping scene I swear I kept hearing Johnny Cash 's rendition of HURT, some of you are more familiar with the nine inch nails version, but play Johnny Cash 's and you'll see what I mean. "I hurt myself today, to focus on the pain....the only thing that's real..." I put this book down a few times so it wouldn't end too quickly, I loved it that much. Lily and Tank were perfect for me.. GIN IS THE AWESOME BIG BROTHER/COUSIN, with that messed up relationship(Peaches) that works for them-because we all know a couple that belongs together, yet always fights. Gin's insistence that blow jobs from club whore's is not cheating is as freaking annoying and head poundingly stupid, as it is funny. It's so biker. I gave this book FIVE stars for sheer entertainment value, not necessarily it's hardass biker appeal, maybe I'm getting thick skinned but I didn't find that it had that vein of cruelty and constant adultery(between the main characters) that the more "hard-core" author's throw in. Me likey this book and plan to revisit these characters whom I came to love; I hope this becomes a series!!!! You "feel me" Jaci J??? Thanks.
