3.5 - 4 stars, but lets round up for new authors shall we.  What can I say- I love m/m books and this one seemed really intriguing.  One guy knows he is gay and is cool with it, though he doesn't advertise it all over.  The other knows he is gay but just seriously can't accept it, mostly because his brothers would literally kill him over it.  Throw in bikers, where there are no empty threats- the danger is legit-, and a homophobic south and s*** gets real.  Overall it was well done.  I've read biker books before, but never one with this added gay theme, and that just added a whole new level to the standard outlaw lifestyle and what that entails.  The two leading men are colorful characters and their relationship grows naturally.  It has an edge, and that definitely plays out in how they get together, and the intensity and rawness of it.  From the get go this isn't necenssarily a romantic read, but it gets there, it really does, and that just helps to reflect the growth of our men- Stitch accepting himself and what he wants, and Zak realizing that Stitch is serious about this and committed.  You'd be surprised, but Stitch really is the more romantic of the two.  It was a little rough at first, getting into the flow of writing, but by the end I think the kinks were worked out and it really read more smoothly.  My only hang up happens near the end- not the ending itself, but some stuff that goes down that completely caught me off guard.  I had to remind myself that this is a biker romance, and that stuff shouldn't be surprising, but it still kind of was.  Even so, there were moments that I really loved and I did get attached to our leads and their quirks, so all and all not a bad debut.
