Lanie Heron isnāt looking for loveāno surprise, considering her last serious relationship nearly got her killed. So when Lanie propositions Hop Kincaid, all she wants is one wild night with the hot-as-hell biker who patrols with the Chaos Motorcycle Club…
For Hop, Lanie has always been untouchable. Sheās too polished and too classy for his tastes. But when she gives Hop the once-over with her bedroom eyes and offers him a night in paradise, he canāt say no. And he doesnāt regret it when he finds that Lanie is the best thing thatās ever happened to himāin or out of bed. Now the trick will be to convince her of that
Lanie Heron approaches Hop Kincaid at one of the Chaos MCās hog roasts and propositions him in a not so subtle way. He gives her a good argument but eventually he caves and they head up to his room at the MCās compound. It was only supposed to be one night but after that one night Hop isnāt ready to give up what he thinks might be his new addiction: Lanie.
Hope and Lanie continue to see each other but decide that itās just going to be a strictly sexual relationship but really neither Lanie nor Hop are made that way ā under all the talk, theyāre each looking for that one special person. Unfortunately Lanieās drama, her family, her history and a whole slew of other things has Lanie messed up emotionally. Hop has his own emotional demons but is willing to talk and work through them for Lanie because he thinks sheās worth it. Lanie is scared and that might end up ending their relationship for good.
This is my first foray into the Chaos Motorcycle club. I didnāt read book one, which a friend tells me is something I absolutely need to do. I have read one other book by Ashley before and I have to say that after having read her work I was more than a bit surprised that I didnāt like this book more.
I really liked Hop. I thought he was a great character although surprisingly very open and communicative, which was a good thing. He knew what he was getting into with Lanie before he took that plunge and slept with her. Lanie I didnāt care for as much. At the beginning of the relationship when I thought she should have been either defending herself or speaking up to Hop, she didnāt. When she should have been keeping her mouth shut she spouted off. Iām not sure drama is a strong enough word, quite frankly.
The frustrating part of this book for me was the dialogue. It was heavy and with Hop leaving out the first part of almost every sentence I had to go back several times to reread so that I could verify what he was saying. He said some great stuff it was just almost stuck under WAY he spoke. A couple of other issues – the long stares and requisite eye to eye contact that Hop demanded frankly got a bit old and Lanieās nickname for Tyra āTy-Tyā made me want to throttle her as it just sounded like she was referring to a preschooler.
The end of the book seemed to last a darned long time. They wrapped up their issues and worked things out and thenā¦it just kept going. Iām sure this was some sort of set up for the next book but I just thought it could have been nixed and I would have been a lot happier. š
Overall the book was a bit maddening but a decent read.
