He got her pregnant in what was rape, even though Sammie is so completely clueless that she doesn't even realize it was rape. Sammie has been married to her jackass of a husband since she was 16. The book didn't really stand out among all the others I've read. No debasing or degrading scenes, which is can be associated with biker stories, the closest thing is the one dollar scene at the club and it doesn't really count.Īll in all, I liked that the main character managed to find herself and be happy, but the rest of the story was a bit too obvious and sometimes over the top. The sexscenes where not too crude nor rough, they were actually somewhat modest at times. I mean, imagine their faces! And of course, you can't have a romance without some lifethreatening action at the and, which also was too predictable.

On the other hand, I do like the twist where Slater is dating Samantha's daughter to get information and is invited home to them for dinner. A bit too coincidental that he was working the case that her husband was involved in, what are the chances?. I don't really feel I get to know Slater much, but that may be because he is an agent and has to be a bit mysterious and 'in character' as a biker.įrom the first scene where Samantha sees something confusing with their bankaccount you know there is a plot here somewhere concerning her husband and it is not hard to guess that Slater is undercover, since he is often by himself and loses the biker attitude several times when he's with Samantha. I know it is a situation hard to understand untill you're in it, but I still disapprove of her choosing to stay. But at the same thime she stays with a husband that barely conceals he's cheating on her and who hits her. I like characters that takes a stand for themselves and Samantha does that to a certain degree she starts poledancing, gets a job, finds a man she is attracted to and enjoys life. But everything is not what it seems, not with this guy and not at home, how will this end? He acts like a tough guy, no feelings, and of course she falls in love.

She starts poledancing for exercise, but ends up getting a job at a club where she meets a bikerguy.

Her husband is possibly cheating on her, but she finds she doesn't really care, finally acknowledging that she stayed with him for other reasons than love. Samantha realizes she is stuck: stuck in a loveless, possibly abusive marriage, stuck in life in general.
