Review: Not what I expected with an MC genre book

Shannon or Ryan, as she’s called by the club brothers, has just come home from serving in the military. Which yes, I love me a good military story line. Her brother, Patrick, is Prez of the Tormented Souls MC with Ellis as the VP. There are a lot of characters from the club that you meet, as the clubhouse is also the home base for Ryan and Patrick, but it wasn’t what I expected. I understand that women don’t have a place in club business, but having the personal home/club house one and the same, I assume things would be more than just like a frat party at times.There were some contradictions that I had trouble with when it came to things Ryan had to overcome. Though I know people process pain differently, she just has a lot going on and it seemed very twisted to the point things came sort of out of nowhere. No build up about some things until it was dropped on you and you were wondering how in the hell that even was possible.There was definitely a lot going on and it made me dizzy in places. A lot of plots and yet there was one main thing I was waiting for besides the MC; I wanted Ellis to be all Alpha and just command like a VP would do. There was an erotic take on things, yes, but Ellis fell short in places that I expected him to make my kindle burn.  For example, (and this is not a spoiler BTW it doesn’t affect your take on the story.) Ellis walks in on a sort of Facetime D/S scene between Ryan and her boyfriend. Since he is turned on and so is she at him watching, you would expect him to shatter the damn phone and take what he wants right? So not what happened. The ending felt a bit rushed, which happens I guess. . The next book in the series will be about the brother and Prez, Patrick. I am curious to see how everything fits in with him and if we will see more of the club, with it being an MC series and all.On a side note, the message about her late brother pulled at my heart strings. I will say that knowing what it feels like to lose a loved one that way, I applaud the author for that. Losing someone that special to you to suicide is a pain that never goes away, it’s a dull burn even years later.
