BLURB:
When a young man is sold for drugs on the day of his mother’s funeral, he thinks his life is over. It wasn’t like it was a great life that Malcolm Sandoval had led so far, not with a drug addicted mother, a father who’d left him before he was three and a stepfather that punched first and asked questions later.
Kirk was another biker, like TJ, Malcolm’s stepfather. A Harley riding, drug dealing biker. That’s all Malcolm could see…at first.
Soon, however, Kirk’s amazing body and more amazing but gruff kindness tore through Malcolm’s belief that no one could want him. He felt himself falling for the quiet and deadly man, but like all the roads of Malcolm’s life, the bumps steered him into despair.
Kirk goes to prison and Malcolm must face the world without him. Busted for attempting to kill Malcolm’s hated stepfather, Kirk faces at least six months and Malcolm takes the members of the bike club to Oregon to avenge the betrayal TJ had committed.
TJ’s brother seeks his own revenge and makes Malcolm pay for the theft of his money and the death of his brother. Can Kirk get out in time to save Malcolm or will this be their last ride?
Warning: Contains scenes of sex between two men, light bdsm, violence.
REVIEW:
I am really enjoying this series. I love how gritty they are. Usually main characters are good guys. Good people who work every day jobs and do every day things. These stories don’t toe that line and I’m finding that I’m really enjoying that. Like The Family, The Biker has some pretty heavy violence, drugs, gangs, death, and a lot of rough sex. And like The Family, The Biker also has 2 very flawed men that are perfect for each other.
Kirkland Mitchell is a big time biker and a small time drug runner. He loves being a biker but hates the drug business. He knows he has to do it though for the money. At a funeral he sees a young man that intrigues him. Knowing the man’s stepfather is a druggie piece of crap that’s in his biker gang he realizes the man would be better off with him. After making a shady deal, the man becomes Kirk’s property.
Malcolm Sandoval has just buried his mother and then finds out his stepdad sold him to a huge, scary biker. Malcolm is terrified and heartbroken. Knowing he has nowhere else to go he is forced to go with Kirk.
What begins so horribly quickly turns into something more. Thinking Kirk would be like his stepfather, Malcolm is pleasantly surprised because Kirk is gentle and kind. Malcolm quickly falls in love with Kirk.
I really love this author’s writing style. Everything about it appeals to me. I really love the characters too. They’re so flawed and heavy handed and aggressive but underneath all of that is this intense love they feel for their partners.
These books are so good! I have not been disappointed yet. I definitely recommend the series!!
