I loved the storyline of this book. A girl who only knows how to run finally finds a reason to stay. But the motorcycle club life is a rough one and when things start happening, she has to decide if she will ever be the kind of girl who can stick around. I’m a huge fan of MC books, but this one fell a little short in that department for me.  As much as we see the members of the MC, we don’t see a lot of action. Usually the guys are just off on “club business” and we’re left in the dark. Personally I enjoy being immersed in the messy MC world and I never quite got that feeling here.This story’s strength was in its characters and their relationships. Lacey and Jenn’s friendship was one of the highlights of this story. Jenn was such a loyal and supportive friend, even when she didn’t necessarily agree with Lacey’s choices. I enjoyed their hilarious conversations and drunken adventures just as much as I loved their moments of brutal honesty. Their friendship was authentic and added a lot to the emotional atmosphere of the story. Roam’s dirty mouth, gritty personality, and hidden sweetness made me a fan right away. He and Lacey had plenty of chemistry, which means this book was definitely steamy. Both being stubborn, they were bound to clash and I enjoyed watching them argue back and forth. It was like watching a verbal tennis match.All in all I really enjoyed the characters. I thought they were well written and established, each with a definitive personality. The storyline was interesting and threw me for a loop a couple of times. I love being caught off guard by a book. I would have liked to see a little more of the MC life detailed throughout the story, mostly due to the importance of the ever-present threat of danger. I would love to know more about Jenn and Switch, so I hope there is another book planned at some point. I would certainly read another book by Kasey Millstead in the future.
