Claiming Sunshine is a wonderful debut novel for author S.E. Leonard. The book is self-edited and self-published but she did an amazing job for her first book.The story line was interesting and different from most of you MC books. This was about a middle-aged woman who is a wife and a mother.Nikki is really easy to relate to, she is a wife who has been let down by the promises of her husband. She finds herself frustrated in with her life and just wondering where things went so wrong. All she wants to do is be a good mother to her girls and make life comfortable for them.The actions of selfish husband Sam land her in a situation that the local MC helps her out in. They find her out of gas on the side of the road and instantly their lives are entwined. There seems to be an instant connection between her and MC President Scooter. An interesting turn of events bring her closer to Scooter and then the excitement begins.This debut novel introduces secondary characters Drifter/Jewel and Joe/Meagan; hopefully they will be getting their own stories next. The dynamic between Drifter and Jewel is an interesting one to say the least and Joe is a member of the club who is involved with Meagan, Scooter's daughter (his MC Pres) I can't wait to see their stories unfold.While there was some editing issues and a few formatting things that could make the book easier to read; I thought it was a great effort for a self-edited/published book.
