Review: Great Action... a BIt of Stretch Now and Then

This novella is about a female biker who is in a biker gang. In the opening scene, she has just had a mind-blowing one-night-stand when she's confronted by a crazy lady who punches her in the nose. (How could you not like that opening? Yeah, it pulled me in right away!)But apparently things went bad earlier, and she has to go on the run from her own gang members. Where does she run? To the one-night-stand guy ... who happens to also be involved in a biker gang (naturally).I liked this story right away. The fact I'm a female biker myself might have something to do with it! The heroine (Cherish, aka Cherry) was feisty, and the hero (Cooper) comes across as an interesting mix of standoffish but with a sense of humor. What we find out about him as the story progresses makes him even more interesting.Some of the events were a stretch, even for fiction (like, why would she return to her own apartment when that's the first place her gang would be looking?). And the ex-military "bad guy" that shows up in the climax... he had a connection to Cooper, but apparently also to the gang and Cherry's father. It wasn't clear, which unfortunately made the climax less powerful than it could have been.I also didn't understand some of the ending events (which I don't want to spoil by specifying). BUT, it was a happy ending and because the action was constant and there some surprising twists to the story, I still rate it a 4.
