(Summary from Goodreads) Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.
Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.
No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.
I received this book for free for an honest review.
Now I LOVE Katie's stories. They are so good and each one so different. I love everything about her other characters. They all stuck with me (and now that I'm thinking about it... it's time for a reread!). I was VERY excited to hear that she was writing another series. I wasn't terribly intrigued by the idea, but I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed!
I really liked this story. It was different. I am not really interested in motorcycle clubs... I've heard about a couple organizations that advocate for different things (one of my past professors was part of a motorcycle group against child abuse, I think).
I was excited to read Katie's newest book... but then... I don't know. I wasn't SUPER attached to the characters. I liked Emily's attitude. Her stubbornness, vulnerability, and spark stuck with me. She kept saying she was her adopted father's daughter, but through her time in Ohio with her birth father... it was apparent that that aspect of her life was just in hiding.
Oz was... adorable. I would probably have been scared of him if I had met him in person, but he has the super sweet side to him. He is INCREDIBLY LOYAL and that is what I loved about him. He is loyal to his friends and family. His family is number one in his mind... and his friends are part of his family.
This was an interesting story. I liked it enough. I will probably read it in the future, but it wasn't like AMAZING. If you like her other stories, you will enjoy this one as well.
Four out of five stars.
