I have mixed feelings about the motorcycle club trope in general. Kinda love the whole don’t touch my woman, overly protective alpha male vibe but despise the way “club wh*res” are used by an MC and deemed as “less than” and never seen as good enough to be respectable partners for the MC members.
If you can get past that, this is a decent story with a “realistic” timeline that isn’t 100% focused on instalove from both main characters. I really liked Rock as a main character and LOVED that he was voiced by Troy Duran (probably my favorite male narrator for this genre).
Biggest con was I felt like the story was just getting good when it suddenly ended. The ending was soooo abrupt and I was truly expecting another few chapters
