I hate to see all the animosity and craziness that is happening in the writing world right now...but out of fairness, I wanted to give this book a read and judge for myself. It has been a while since I've read the series by other authors that claimed this book had stolen their plots, ideas, even whole scenes, so it was really a vague memory. My problem is that SO many MC romance type books do follow the same storyline and use many of the same gimmicks ( sex on a bike, coming home to the club they left behind, re-discovering an estranged parent, being claimed by the hot club manwhore, etc.) that it sometimes is a big blur to me and I forget where I read something for the first time. In any case, for what it's worth I did enjoy Underworld Champions...it was fast paced and exciting and all the characters were engrossing. I am curious to read Stone's new book being released this month and see if it will be a completely original one or not yet again...but honestly with so many biker books available now, lines get crossed and even the same character names keep cropping up in other books, so it gets very difficult to keep things completely new and fresh.I am very generously giving the author the benefit of the doubt and if none of this controversy had happened, I would have given this book an unbiased rating of 4 stars. It's a freebie now, so you can judge for yourself...enjoy!
