| Jess is leading a surprisingly sheltered life running her father’s motorcycle repair shop and tattoo parlor, but who would challenge the bodyguards she has running around the place? She has been living with her father since he got out of prison when she was eleven. Her mother had abandoned her at age six and she was in foster care since then. Though she misses her mother she tries not to think too much about her. That is until Mitch comes to town. He claims that she is next in line to inherit 150 million dollars, and far from being a junkie loser, her mother has cleaned up her act and taken over the family business, that is until someone shot her and put her in a coma. Until the shooter is caught, Mitch will be around. The attraction between the two is a definite bonus.
I really enjoyed this story. The author uses an unusual setting and quirky characters to create a very suspenseful romance. The contrast between the lifestyles of Jess’s two parents could not be any greater, but the scary bikers were definitely a warmer and more loving family than she found in California. The bikers are very colorful and I really enjoyed reading about them. The house in California is in contrast rather cold and orderly, much like Jess’s stepfather Jared. The romance between Mitch and Jess is very hot and develops quickly despite both of them fighting the attraction. The two FBI agents were easy to dislike, as was Jess’s ex boyfriend, the cop Jake. The suspense builds and builds until the surprising climax and satisfying ending. Fans of romantic suspense should definitely read this creative take on the genre.
