Review: Mostly enjoyable, a biker romance that's a little softer and with a bit of angst
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was less gritty than other MC romances I've read, and I enjoyed that. A little less grit, a little less lawlessness, with a biker hero who's bad-azz but not over the top and with a definite soft side to him. The heroine was nice, too, sweet and curvy, and I liked her. I can't say I've ever read a heroine who was a plumber, and I liked that she took care of herself and her family. The h and H felt sweet together, and their sex scenes were erotic.Consider this a small spoiler... but I didn't like the H kissing some club hoochie. I guess compared to what could happen in an MC story, it's minor, but I was a little disappointed in the hero.  It's after the h/H have been intimate, and it's described as a 'clench' with an 'epic' lip lock, with OW's legs around his waist and his hands on her butt. Okay, maybe not a big deal, but the h was devastated watching it, and I was upset on her behalf. I guess it was more habit on Trey's part, but just because you can doesn't mean you have to. He learned that, but I still needed him to grovel some, if only for a kiss or not.Most of the action happens close together at the end, and maybe that felt rushed to me. Even what happens to the h and the rival MC club wasn't that suspenseful to me. It happened and was over too quickly for me. There were some editing issues in the story as well. Nothing too annoying but they were noticeable to me. Also, there is a prequel to this book (Hiding in Plain Sight) which I haven't read, so I think I was missing some backstory about Trey and the guys, about this MC.This romance had some things I enjoyed and some things I enjoyed less. Overall, it's a pretty enjoyable MC romance, one I don't regret buying and reading, and I'd be willing to keep with this series to see how the other MC guys' romances go.
