This is the first MC (Motorcycle Club) romance book I’ve read – I have read a straight MC book which was brilliant), so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened it up. The summary had intrigued me and I was looking forward to reading it. Sadly, I felt it didn’t quite live up to the blurb.
As I read, I felt that the author hadn’t done much research beyond watching Sons of Anarchy. At the time of reading, I had never seen the show, but I have now and the similarities are glaringly obvious. Yet, the idea behind the story was a good one, and that is what kept me reading. I wanted to know what happened to the characters.
Overall, my complaints list is longer than the things I enjoyed. Things such as needing another round of editing as the writing was often showing rather than telling, and the emotion was somewhat lacking. Rather than write ‘knock, knock, knock’ why didn’t Hamford describe the knocking and why it scared the characters? It distracted from the flow of the story. Also, in many places, the language is far too colloquial and reads like someone is speaking rather than conveying a story. This worked brilliantly in the dialogue, which I felt was the strongest aspect to the story, but not so much in the descriptions and narrative. Also, another round of editing would pick up a couple of mispelled words that made me stop reading for a second, particularly the use of the wrong homophone in a sentence.
The characters, particularly Cammie – I have a thing for secondary characters, and Neil, were well rounded, believeable, and likeable (most of time tim, I’m looking at you Prez) which, coupled with the dialogue, kept me wanting to know what was going to happen. Cammie and Neil, as mentioned, were my favourite characters. There was something about the two of them that really boosted Heather into a pretty good main character. Their support obviously means everything to her, and it showed the way she protects them in return.
While the concept for this book really appealed to me, the execution left a lot to be desired, and while I am on the lookout for more MC books to read, I’m unsure if I’ll read more in this series.

After finding out her husband was lying to her, eight month pregnant Heather finds herself paying off his debt to the Devon Destroyers MC. It's not enough he was killed in front of her but she is fair game, a hole to fill pregnant or not. That is until Blade claims her as a possible old lady. Blade is a man who had it all and lost it, he sees Heather as a second chance but can he give her his heart?
This was a bit all over the place and had a cliffhanger ending that I was disappointed in finding. I had not realized a novella. There were aspects I really liked in the story but other than Heather, CG, Cammie and Blade did not like the other characters. Probably one of the roughest MC's I have read about. I might reread at a later date and change my mind.

Mc love.
Ok so I'm a newbie to mc books.
I've read the odd one here and there but nothing that's really drawn me in. Yep ive obviously not been looking in the right places because I absolutely loved this book.
May I just make it plainly clear now #BladeIsMine ask kacey I claimed him first (hehe)
This book like all of kacey's works is full of twists and turns. You will experience emotional overload. It will fill you with hope and then whip it out from underneath you. *bam*
Heather is sweet and innocent. Although her husband has dealings with the Devon destroyers she has no idea of the way the club runs... Until one day when her life is snatched from her! Will she remain in control, or will the fateful day be the end of her life the way she has known it.
Blade #mine ;)
Blade hasn't had a easy time. Uncommitted to a single mc he moves around where needed.
This is until he falls for the charms of a sweet pregnant lady.
Can he save her or will it be another dreadful ending for the one he has feelings for.
Will his past experiences cloud his judgment??
I need book two asap. That ending... well let's say kacey is no longer on my Christmas card list lol. #loveyoureally
I cannot wait to see what kacey will come up with next.
