Arrow of Time (Marauders MC #1)By: Lina Andersson4/5 starsEdie has been a world-wide traveler/wanderer for the last 6 years. She grew up in tough circumstances and has a big secret in her past, that pretty much only her older sister Lanie knows. Lanie aka Melanie aka Mel is married to Brick, Marauders MC President. Lanie & Edie haven’t had much communication in those 6 years, just sporadic e-mails from Edie, as she is places that have no access to computers or internet & even electricity. But Lanie has kept Edie updated on her life and the general happenings around the MC.Edie finally decides that it is time to go home, to her sister. She walks into the compound and the office, a weary traveler, and the MC boys take notice. However, Brick makes it known that she is off limits because Mel doesn’t want her scared off.Dawg earned his road name by being a man-whore. He is captivated by Edie, but she totally blows him off, knowing that he is a man-whore and she doesn’t want to be just another number, no matter how hot he is. Dawg wants to get to know her better, though he’s not getting many answers.Edie befriends Vasco, the “granddad” of the MC. Edie becomes close to him and he helps her, just being someone that she can talk to, and from whom she can get advice. Vasco tells her not to write off Dawg and change is possible. Dawg likes Edie, but doesn’t know if he likes her enough to give up all the other women. He does put in time, just hanging out with her, and on girls nights with Edie, Eliza & sometimes Violet.During a time of grief, Edie & Dawg hook up. Dawg feels like he took advantage of her during her grief and leaves in the middle of the night. Edie, feeling like she was used for a one-night stand, runs away…again, to an old friend overseas.When Edie returns, Mel is pissed off at Dawg for making her run again and wants him to stay away from Edie. Brick advises Dawg to step back & let Edie come around on her own. Dawg apologizes to Edie but she just keeps him at a distance instead of returning to any sort of friendship. Tragedy strikes again, affecting Dawg and Edie decides to let go of their brief past and to be there for him.There are more twists and turns, and Edie does a lot of running in this book…it may tire you out. But, all in all, it was a good book.
