So it has been a while since I picked up an MC romance and Ms. Knox has written an exciting start to a new series.

Calli and Connor are a good fit. They are both loyal and are looking to belong, Connor to his MC family and Calli to her long-lost father. But Calli has a secret that may ruin her growing relationship with Connor. Is she just using him for personal gain? What are her true feelings toward Connor?

I like the fact that Calli was in the Navy and that she is not afraid to go after the father that abandoned his family so long ago despite her mother’s and sister’s protests. Working in a biker bar takes guts considering the rough crowd it attracts, and unfortunately, there is a predator who has his sights set on her. Calli met Connor by accident when he was helping her roomie’s brother fix their apartment’s leaky pipes. Connor is quiet, broody, and eager to get patched into the Sons of Gods MC. He has no time for a relationship, but there is something about the beautiful and intriguing bartender that has the big stronger biker dude longing to see her every day and stay with her every night. When Calli’s secret finally comes out in an untimely manner, it changes their dynamic and she has some explaining to do. But just when things start looking up, her worst nightmare unfolds leaving a cliffhanger that had me surprised and anxious to read the next book.

If you enjoy steamy MC romances filled with protective family, loyal friends, and frustrating suspense, give this book a try.
