Collect Lock Key (Lock Key, #1) Edited By Cat Porter Depicted In Physical Book

Not for me. Cheating occurs on both ends, Heroine basically sells herself and her supposed love out "for the club" and he knows, encourages, and watches her do it, He sleeps with OW to make sure she is motivated enough not to back out, Just no. Grace wasnt planning on returning home, For sixteen years shes been gone, Sixteen years since her husband, Dig was killed, But when her sister calls to tell her she needs her, Grace knew it was time to come home, She never expected the sexy stranger she meets along her route home to be tied so much to her old life though.


Miller Lock wasnt looking for anything when he stumbled into the roadside bar, but he sure found something, A woman, one that sparked a feeling he had been searching for, Only he didnt realize just who this woman was, But as Grace finds herself needing the help of the club, Miller is about to come face to face with so much more than the one night stand he had all those days ago.


OMG. Can I just say I absolutely loved this book! I went in pretty blind, after all the blurb doesnt give too much away and I could not put this down.
As Grace moves forward with her present day story, we are given glimpses of the past which flowed perfectly, I ended up getting two love stories in one, Falling for Dig as she recounted their relationship and falling for Miller as they fought their

attraction for the greater good of the club.
This dynamic of past meets present, presented such an emotional mix to this story, You knew Dig didnt live, . . you knew it, but it still felt so raw once youre hit with it,

For Lock, I loved getting to see this hard biker get a bit soft, I loved that he loved his brothers but wanted something bigger for his life, He wanted Grace. He wanted a love that could ease the pain of his past, Someone to give him the things that he never before wanted to ask for,

But this wasnt just a simple love story, come on what biker romance is simple Graces past isnt just about loving and losing Dig or the lengths that her and her sister, Ruby went to because they loved each other and were all that they had it was in typical biker fashion about so much more.
But although we get the twist of a new aspect to the story, a twist that is cloaked in secrecy, the focus never seemed to fall off the love story aspect.


This was my first Cat Porter read and I have to say it wont be my last, I cant wait to dive in to the second in this series! If you love a biker story this is one you must read.

AprilReread, Still astar read and definitely stood the test of time, One of my all time favourite MC authors, period,

I LOVE it when I pick up a book by a new to me author and it's just perfection, Even more surprising is this is a debut author, and she ROCKED this story,

Why Because I got two believable main characters that I loved, great side characters, a brilliant story that was so very real, great writing, no editing issues and a fabulous epilogue.
No cliffies here YAY!

I know some reviewers have taken off for the way the story went at, TBH I wanted to kick him hard atbut I get where the author was going with this.
She was keeping it real and I respect her daring to not sugarcoat the M/C life, The club comes first always, and I guess if that's the life you have chosen you chose the repercussions thereof as well.
Yes I was unhappy with the story atbut the author pulled it back again and there was a good reason for every action taken.
Reasons I totally get and believed, I can't penalise astar rating for that,

I absolutely loved this one and can't wait for more from Cat Porter,

bright and shiney from me for a bloody fantastic read, Lock amp key

My god, Cat Porter. I want to start this off by telling you one thing I absolutely fucking loved about this book, You may think this is stupid, but I don't care, The H/h in this book weren't in theirs, They were in their lates and miller was, Thank fuck for that. I'm sorry but I'm so sick of reading all these books where the main characters are in theirs, I'm not in mys anymore, I want a mature, dirty, raunchy, raw, gritty, alpha male, And let me tell you, I have found him here, It's not even so much that he's just those things, He's also sweet, emotional but not a total pussy, empathetic, understanding but yet still totally alpha, Miller, road name Lock, is seriously one of the best men I have read in an MC book, He rates closer to the top, And sister Thank you Cat. Thank you for writing such a strong female lead, She doesn't get pushed around, walked over, or cheated on, She is a badass female character, She is a strong woman, Not just as a woman, but as an old lady and as a major role player in the game of MC life.
If you are a fan of MC books, you will want to pick this up, Her story. Her heartbreaking story brought me to tears, I kid you not. I'm sitting here reading this crying, Then I'm thinking this is an MC book, I'm not supposed to cry, But I did. I could stop, I didn't want to stop, I loved every damn page,

First sentence: Once upon a time I lost everything.


Last sentence: My fingers curled in Miller's firm grasp, and a billow of warm air bathed us both as we stepped outside.

I'm breaking my own rule, I'm going to adjust the original rating I gave this book in June, I'm pretty proud of myself, I'm one of those people who makes a judgement and then rarely goes back on it, When I read this before, the flow was all off for me, Enough so that it interfered with anything good in character development and overall understanding, After reading reviews from several people I trust on this site, and their recommendations out to others, I thought I'd go back and see if I missed something.


All I can say is, the author edited again after release, My original read had this labeled as a "hot mess, " Rereading it. . I think this author is truly gifted, I'm modifying my original.Starred rating toStars. The story has everything you I want, There were great characters, intelligent plot, dimensions in the backstory, a cast of secondary characters that added rather than detracted from the main story.
It was rich and robust, A really enjoyable read.

Don't discount this as a "another biker book from an author who can't put a legible paragraph together, " This really is a rich story with interesting characters, She'll make you think South Dakota is an interesting place to experience, Please, give this one a shot, I don't think you'll be sorry,

Note: I've read booksandnow too, This is a favorite author and on my preorder and autobuy list, I've found my first new author for, Yay me!!

Topthings about this book:
The voice of the author, She writes an intelligent, interesting story with multidimensional characters,
The backdrop of the story has grit, These bikers are the real deal, but they aren't "in your face" about it, they just are, There isn't all the over the top drama and elements, I like that.
Destiny is a powerful thing, Some don't believe in it, but anyone who's lost someone they don't think they can live without and wonder why, . . understand the role destiny plays in our lives, This author nails it.

Elements that could have been better for me:
The blurb and book cover really don't work for me.
They don't do enough to pull a reader, Word of mouth pulls you and then the author grabs you with her talent, It sure isn't the routine marketing for this one,
This one was reedited, I read it before the author revamped it, I wish I'd known that this had happened, I'd have been more inclined to give it another go,
Nothing really.

Happy Reading!

What a hot mess this one is, This is a debut book, so I forgave the over used ofadjectives noted in the firstof the book, I almost gave up, but thought it may turn out okay once the author settled down a bit, And it did for a little while, Then, she started throwing too much into the story,

We have bikers, We have a horrible accident that takes the life of our h's biker husband, We have a sick sister who used to be a a drugged out biker bitch until she took a fall for the MC and then turned her life around.
Then we have the sexy, but broken H, We have two rival clubs battling over territory, The Russian mob. A tittie bar called the Tangle or was it Tinkle, . . Oh, well, this only takes us aboutthrough the book and I was exhausted trying to keep up,

To top this off this is a debut book mentioned before and the author's skill pooped out aboutin to this point, it was onlyStars and went downhill from there.
I skimmed much of the last half to the end and it didn't get much better,

I gave a half point back because this is the authors first book, Saying this, I'm betting I won't read another,

Wish I had a BIG red stamp that said HOT MESS for this one, You may like this book just fine, Hope you do. Me Not so much.

Happy Reading!,
