This book wasn't for me, I put my review up on my blog I'm not giving it a star rating because I didn't mesh with the book doesn't mean it needs to be negative stars.

I DNFed this book at 82%. I just can't with Emmalyn anymore. She is the most unreasonable, jealous female main character that I have ever encountered before. It was beginning to just be a story consistent of scene after scene of her getting jealous at him over easily explainable things. And the instances were almost the same thing over and over again. It was beyond annoying. You'd think after 2 instances of this, you'll take a moment and let him explain or at least give him 2 minutes to convince you. Nope, she is the queen of running away and then forgiving so easily 2 hours later.
SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING! Sad because there were some characters that I would of enjoyed getting to know more.

This MC book was different from ones I read before, but, I liked it. I thought the concept of an all former military MC was interesting.
I liked Kincaid. I also liked Shadow, Kid, Doc, and Rose. I liked that Emmalyn was able to bond with Rose, and cane to trust Kid, Shadow, and Doc.
I listened to the audio on this book and enjoyed Aaron Shedlock's narration. I think Kasha Kensington did justice to Emmalyn's character.
Although this was a great way to pass a lazy Sunday, I thought Emmalyn and her behavior was ridiculous. I was willing to accept her being so afraid and desperate to get out of her situation that she would hop on a motorcycle with someone who defended her and drive away.
Almost everything past that point with this woman was irritating. Her behavior after arriving at the clubhouse was completely incongruous with the life she had been living.
I didn't understand how she managed to be so judgmental about other people's lifestyle and character. How could she justify being so jealous about Kincaid? I kept waiting to hear the word "divorce" from someone. Thankfully, I wasn't holding my breath waiting.
Kincaid was all in from the moment he saw Em and Bobby at the back of the bar. I'm not saying Kincaid was right in his thinking that her husband was her ex, but he wasn't the one that was married. Kincaid protected, tried to please, and cared for Em. That was the romantic part of the book.
Em had at least 2 jealous hissy fits about Bunny without giving Kincaid the benefit of the doubt. Em was able to stand her ground with Kincaid and Kid mere days after getting out of her abusive situation that lasted for YEARS. That in itself didn't discount the abusive situation. It made me wonder if she let these strangers help her, why didn't she try to get help from other strangers? Did an opportunity never present itself? It just didn't seem plausible. I had questions.
If Em's sudden backbone had been a gradual process or if she had gotten therapy, or shared her experience with someone who had some level of understanding, her "about face" behavior would have been an easier pill to swallow.
Emmalyn fell into her new life so easily and didn't seem to be concerned with the fact that she was still married to a truly dangerous man. It was weird.
This book had its challenges and the outcome was also interesting. Since I had this book, and an audiobook of the first box set, I will keep working my way through the series.

Knight in a cut
This is not your typical MC book.
Emmalynn has had a rough life. Parents died when she was going and was raised by an aunt. Now don't get me wrong they did not mistreat her, but the man who was supposed to love her and put her above everything did. In walks Kincaid he witnesses just how she is treated and decides to step in. He slowly shows her what it means to be free and how a real man treats a lady. Yes there are some twists and turns which I will not give away, but I do recommend this book and I will continue with the series.

While this isn't my usual preference - I love an anti hero something fierce - THIS WAS GREAT. This is the kind of man your momma wants you to marry.

I’ll start off with what I enjoyed:
Love the found family (I have a soft spot for this)
Kid, Rose, Doc ❤️
Like how he fell first and just wants to protect her
Liked the reminder how easy and quickly love can strike
Like to respect and care he has for FMC and history of abuse
Onto things I DID NOT enjoy:
How the club girls were portrayed and treated. These guys SAVE women from sex trafficking and then COMPLETELY objectify and slut shame the women they USE? Where is their chivalry in their own club?
While Bunny was a bitch, she was a person with a story and obviously had feelings for Kincade. He used her and treated her (and from the sounds of it, the rest of the club girls) as objects to get him off.
How quickly they fell. While I said above it’s a reminder of how quick love can strike, my logical brain kept going back to she was just beaten badly, she is saved by some random guy who takes her to another state. He’s the first guy to treat her well since her dad. She falls for him and it’s HEA.??!!
It was difficult for me to suspend reality and not think of the trauma they are both dealing with and the work they are going to have to do. If the timeline would have been longer, it would have been easier to believe.
Overall if you like MC and a tough guy saves the day it’s a good quick read.

oof
I keep going back and forth here for my rating. I did NOT like the H. I don’t like that he’s a man hoe. My fault it is a biker book.
Anyway that he makes her live with the CW who have pleasured him but said he couldn’t control himself if he had to be near anyone Em had been with. Hypocrite. I dunno it just didn’t feel like he cared about her until the last few chapters.
The next book involves cheating so I’m gonna stop with this one I think.

So this is one of those MC reads that is "light & easy". I put that in quotes because it's as light and easy as you can get with a MC book and it still be a MC book. Make sense? It does in my head. I felt that the story was maybe a little underdeveloped in the beginning; some things being glossed over or shoved under the rug. I was even a little confused at first. There were things that were unrealistic at times - I hate saying that becomes I don't need complete realism but sometimes things are just too unbelievable. However, I loved the main characters and their story of coming together. I loved the concept of this MC; it was a little different and sets it apart from the other MC books out there.
Edit:
Even though I deemed this a "light & easy" read, it does deal with subject matter such as The way the subject matter is handled is why the book is not weighed down by such serious subjects and is able to keep the light feel.
All in all, it's a great afternoon read that will leave you falling in love with the H & h.

Yes on both counts. The OM drama is her abusive husband that she leaves as well as a jealous MC member. The OW drama is of course a club house whore. However, it's mainly unwarranted. The H and this woman have had "relations" but nothing extensive over time and they never had intercourse.Condoms:
