I thought this book was horrible. The writing was so, so bad. I didn't even make it through the first chapter before I started skimming and then just stopped reading. First, I do not like when authors right in first person, PRESENT tense. That completely takes me out of the story. It just sounds so false. No one narrates their life like that, which is how reading it sounds. First I open the door, then I . . . Ugh, I can't stand it. Second, the constant back and forth between Doll and Tripp was very distracting. There was barely any point of view before she was switching again. It was hard to actually get a feel for Doll. I wouldn't mind chapters or long chunks of time but she had maybe two paragraphs and then she was switching again. It also made it feel like she covered the same information over and over and over. What did Doll think about this situation, let Tripp retell the same situation over. Frustrating. Third, I thought that Tripp's character was a total jerk. I realize that this a biker novel, blah blah, but the little characterization that we did get about his character was horrible. I'm not going to read about someone treating other people badly and then assume that he'll do anything differently with the heroine . . . . but she's "different" because he loves her. Right, that's not how things work. Some stories can overcome this but this one really, really did not.I much prefer Joanna Wydle's two books and Marianna Zapata just wrote one that was sooo much better. Kristen Ashley's Chaos series is better than this, too.
