-- SPOILER ALERT!!! --I've read a few biker-romance novels. Some I liked, some I didn't, and some I just couldn't finish. "For Your Sake" turned out to be such a surprise. As I continued reading, the story just got better and better. Out of all the biker-romance novels I've come across, this has to be the absolute best one I've read that’s full of romance and mystery. I liked it so much, once finished I checked to see if the author had any other works published. Unfortunately, no. So what made this novel so appealing to me you ask? There are quite a few things and let me just say what a nice change it is. The author seems to have strayed from the mainstream of which many biker-romance novels are written, and making it her own.I loved all the characters, Eva and Ben, and all the supporting characters. It was nice to read a novel where there wasn't one or two persons who just irritated the crap out of me. Eva is an intelligent, strong, and independent woman before and after she's involved with Ben. Unlike so many other novels, she didn't become TSTL just because she met a man. Ben is a strong individual, not only physically but his by presence within the club and in Eva's life. As much as you want to not like him because of his role in the club, you can't help but like him, even love him. We're even given a glimpse of his vulnerable side that makes him even more endearing. Though he and the other bikers are all alpha-male, the author doesn't go ridiculously overboard with any of them. A strong presence yes, but not big machos throwing their big d*cks around, being demanding and unreasonable, taking over a woman's life, etc., etc. (I hope this makes sense).Nowhere within the book did the author include the typical story of the hero's ex-girlfriend/wife coming back to claim him and doing anything she can to accomplish this even if it means hurting the heroine. Even better, Eva knows there are biker-groupies who hang around the club, but she shows no signs of jealousy, mistrust or insecurity about it. Instead, both Ben and Eva trust each other. She even stayed true to herself, not changing who she was by dressing or acting different just to fit in.Like any other story there is the "angst;" however, there's none of the typical breakup/makeup, the screaming, or the crying that constantly takes place. It was there and dealt with, end of story.The author skillfully accomplishes taking the mini-plots and tying them together, in the end giving her readers a well-written tale of full of romance and mystery.The one thing the author didn't stray from was the romance and sex. Not only can you feel the love between Eva and Ben, the sex is off-the-charts HOT!A lot of readers thought the novel to be overly descriptive, to which I say to each his/her own. However, I didn't find it to be that way at all, which is probably why I loved the story so much. There are a few spelling and grammatical errors throughout; however, for the exact same reason I was able to overlook it.I highly recommend this novel to those who love reading biker-romance novels. I’d love to hear from you whether you loved it, liked it, or just plain hated it as I don’t expect everyone to share the same views. To all those who are wondering if the novel ends with a cliff-hangar, I’m here to tell there isn’t one. Whoo-hoo! I look forward to reading more works by this author.
