Ugh, gross.

Aside from an utter lack of chemistry between the two leads, there is the little issue of the total degradation of female characters in the name of a"dark" and "gritty" plot. Not that I think any rape scene is necessary, but the one in the first third of this book is so violently over the top, I pretty much stopped reading. I have no idea if the book gets better; I'm not going to waste any more of my time on a story that sacrifices women in order to generate a certain kind of show more atmosphere or tension in the story. The only reason that female character was raped and the heroine was put through a disgusting, violent wringer was to make her a victim that the hero could save. It's sloppy, shitty writing and I'm sick of seeing it in MC romance. show less

Jenna Walker is a talented dancer destined for Julliard until she discovers her half-brother in danger. Now she's on the run trying to keep him from her step-father. (Her brother is adorable!)

Declan is the president of the Royal Bastards Flagstaff AZ MC. When Jenna walks into his club to audition as a stripper he wants her, when she steels from he'll hunt her down and make her repay every sent in his bed.

This is a fast paced MC, with Declan determined to find Jenna and exact pleasurable show more retribution in the bedroom, not expecting her terrible story to connect to the club.

Need a quick MC fix, it checks all the boxes and it's can easily be read in one sitting.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/ show less

Wolfman is the 5th book in the Royal Bastards MC: Flagstaff, AZ Chapter series by M. Merin. It was a quick read, around 100 pages, but it was good. This chapter has an association with the nuns that raised most of them in an orphanage. They may be bad guys but they do have a heart and remember where they came from.
Wolfman likes nursery rhymes. He even sings them as he tortures and kills men. A few books back he met Rose, a nun in training. This is their book. Even though Rose was a nun she show more was instantly attracted to Wolfman whenever she saw him at the church. Wolfman notices something is off with Rose and so does the head nun. When he looks into her he finds out she's using being a nun as a way to hide. The club and Wolfman vow to protect her. Seeing Rose outside the church and having an everyday life shows you a different side of her. She was never meant to be a nun. Does Wolfman find the people she's hiding from? Does the club save her?
I gave this book 4 stars. It was different seeing a biker and a nun together but they worked. The book was a little short compared to what I usually read. So much more could have been added to their story if the book had been a bit longer. This size I consider this a novella instead of a novel. It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading from the beginning to have the other character's backstories and to see when Rose is introduced into the series. I can't wait for the next one to come out! show less

I really wanted to like this one. The premise of the story had potential but it fell short for me. The story had potential but it felt rushed and so over the top. The instant connection was weird at best. However, it did introduce me to some more of the other characters, some I was familiar with and others that I want to get to know more.

I appreciate the author and their hard work. Even though this book wasn't for me, it seems to be for other readers and that is what is important and the show more magic of books. show less
