Avail Yourself Resisting The Biker (The Biker, #1) Devised By Cassie Alexandra Released As Hardbound
expect that ending! Have literally no choice but to dive straight in to book! If you like MC stories, then you MUST read "RESISTING THE BIKER!" It is witty, moving, sometimes scary, and in every way a well written and compelling MC novel.
AND I have a new FAVORITE AUTHOR TEAM to add to my list! While I love to read books about motorcycle clubs, I've noticed the pattern of the badboywhogrowsaheartwhenhefinallyfallsinloveandthenheleavestheclubortheclubgoeslegit.
Despite the predictable pattern, I still love MC tales! Doesn't matter if the MC is a onepercenter or makes its money running something less than legal, I love the tales.
Knowing that, imagine my excitement when I was offered a freetease MC tale from a writer who up to that point was not on my radar! Then, to top off my happiness, this new author Who is actually part of a writing team offers what I feel is an amazing piece as her freetease!! I am in Heaven! Then I find out this is one of a series of MC tales by this writing team and that the series was published inI am OUT going to go read the otherbooks this weekend! Well, maybe make a good start on it! LOL The prose is easy to read, the characters genuine and welldeveloped, and the plot compelling to keep the lamp burning long after lights should have been out.
Starting reading this story last night and finished this morning, The start was bit a bang with about Jessica who all but disappears from the story after that The story is about Adriana is a young woman who has had a sheltered life and has fallen into a "relationship" with Raptor, a biker.
Adriana is so young and dumb its killed me, Lots of dark MC drama which was interesting, Wanted to hear more about Jessica and perhaps Judge What happened to them
And just when the story was about to come together it ended on a cliffhanger That was totally a surprise.
. . no warning no nothing. Then the end said the next book would be available in May, Which we know are not always correct, My curiosity is killing me on this one,
I mean will they get together or won't they What happened to Jessica Who really killed Adriana's friend Who is pregnant Could we kill Brandy Definitely let's kill Misty Is she still a breathing club whore Will Adriana grown up What about Monica and her baby Will Tank be okay By the time Mayarrives will I have moved on to another MC Time will tell people.
I can't even describe how much I liked this book!!
For starters, Raptor is SO FREAKING AWESOME! I mean he has a heart of freaking gold, he takes in the youths in his home if they have no where to go
Adriana on the other hand is a bit too sheltered I mean why is her mother still telling her what to where and what to eat.
I know that you do not want to leave her alone after your father died but if you don't move on with your own life she is never going to either!
I did feel super bad for Krystal it really seemed like it was a case of in the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing, and even if he did try to act all hard and stuff, Tank really did love that girl.
Now for the cliffhanger of the freaking century! You finally get Raptor to admit that he wants Adriana to be his old lady and even think about getting out of the life, they start on their future together and you have this DIRTY BIRD, Brandy show up talking about she is pregnant!!!
I just wanted to die.
They went through so much to have it stopped by her! Ugh! Did Not finish
Not my cup of tea, Was turned off by the language and situation, Did not care enough about the characters to continue, Total bullish, I am so frustrated with authors who can't/won't finish a freaking story, . Are they that poor that they need to make multiple books out of one story to sell to survive Don't we the readers spend our hard earned money and time on these books Do we not count Finish a bloody book please!!! The story is just ok, I enjoyed the characters ok, I didn't really feel a connection to our leading lady.
I felt like she was way to immature and a push over, The story seemed like a good concept but just didn't work for me even if it hadn't been a cliffhanger, that just sealed its fate as well as further reading any books by this author.
WTF people, how would you like to read only half a story hum Wouldn't would you! so quit writing them and expecting we the readers to follow you with this bullish!! Sorry about the tangent, just sick of cliffhangers.
I guess I should have read the reviews closer, but picked this up awhile back and was in my library, so just started reading.
. big mistake! I didn't realize this was aparter, so going in, just know it doesn't end, I found it a little juvenile in that a lot of the language didn't seem to fit the part of the characters, as well as some of the drama.
I know they are all very young, but since they are all technically adults, they could have acted liked adults a little bit more.
The killing of a major character part of the way through kind of through me for a loop, it was unexpected, especially that they seemed to move on so quickly.
Overall, it was a quick read, but don't expect any real deep plot happening, FREE on Amazon today! Twentyoneyearold college student, Adriana doesn't really know what to make of Raptor, the sexy biker who seems to be obsessed with getting into her pants.
Hot or not, she knows from their first encounter that he's dangerous, both in an out of bed,
What Raptor wants, Raptor gets, Right now, he wants Adriana and will do whatever it takes to claim her as his woman, But, she keeps resisting, which isn't something that the Road Captain of the Gold Vipers is used to, Arrogant, cocky, and stubborn, Raptor takes on the challenge and in the meantime, gets much more than what he'd bargained for,
A contemporary erotic romance, For readersand older. Graphic Themes, Language, Violence. This book definitely needed an editor, And someone to evaluate the sex scenes, Who calls it "my sex",stars! Can't believe this is a FREE book! Cliffhanger warning, . huge one . This review is of “Resisting the BikerAn Alpha Motorcycle Club Romance” by Cassie Alexandra,
The Story: The book begins in Iowa, with a young woman named Jessica Winters being raped by a man, Later, the story abruptly pivots to another young woman named Adriana Nikolas, a college student who attends an Iowa university and lives with her mother, Vanda, who owns a jewelry store Vandas husband and Adrianas father was killed in a robbery at their former store in Florida by a member of a motorcycle gang.
Which is why Vanda doesnt want Adriana getting involved with the hero of the book, a guy named Trevor Larson, aka Raptor, Road Captain of the Gold Vipers MC.
Adriana does get involved with Raptor, however, a decision which leads to happiness, heartache and a cliffhanger their story is concluded in the following book “Surviving the Biker”.
Positives: Despite the “outlaw” reputation, in many way the MC has some of the same values and beliefs as other parts of society do.
Raptor crosses back and forth between being a bad boy and a good man,
Negatives: The characters arent particularly deep or interesting, Adriana is whiny and immature she is, Raptor, at times, also is immature and whiny, Or maybe I have issues with New Adult books, Even if there is a HEA in the next book, I really cant see these two spending the rest of their lives together,
Sex: A few scenes, which try to be hot but end up emotionally vacuous,
Violence: In addition to Jessicas rape in the prologueher story comes in the third book “Fearing the Biker”there are other scenes of violence.
The “man” who raped her is killed, Adriana is nearly rapedRaptor threatens to unman and later punches the guy and her best friend is raped and murdered in retaliation for the murder of Jessicas rapist.
The violence isnt graphic, but its there,
Note: The book also containsfrom the synopsis: graphic themes, crude language and drug use,
Bottom Line: Will I be reading the other books in the series Not if I can help it, If “Resisting the Biker” werent free, I wouldnt have read it, NO. NO. E ancora No!
Adoro le storie di motociclisti, mi ricordano molto SOA, Questo libro avrebbe anche avuto del potenziale, ma non non è riuscito ad emozionarmi per niente! DNF at aboutwith some skimming until the end.
This is one of those books where it's so bad from the beginning that I keep reading just to see how truly bad it's going to be.
I kept hoping for a so bad it's good type of book see Tillie Cole for a perfect example of that in motorcycle club romance.
This was just bad. Writing, plot, dialog, everything just didn't work, The thing is, I can see a good story in here somewhere, This reads like a first draft that needed serious editing before publication, but that editing never happened and this very rough draft was published instead.
I'm glad I quit reading when I did and just skimmed until the end where I discover a nonending/cliffhanger/midscene end, Talk about insult to injury, Read Tillie Cole or Laura Kaye for better examples of this subgenre, This was first free book in iBooks that I actually finished instead of DNFing,
I don't really get what was the point with prologue Jessica was mentioned only few times after that, Writer could've just told what happened to her,
I thought it was cute how Raptor calls Adriana kitten,
I don't like how they had sex for the first time after a funeral and then that cliffhanger I just don't feel compelled to read book.
Audiobook
Narration Nina Sumter Fabulous, and bad and good and, . .
This gal has a really great voice and has a male voice that is spectacular so that's the fabulous part,
The bad is that the rest of her characters are just a bit too characterish over the top, almost cartoonish like for a SNL skit.
Her rougher male character voices sound a little like Bobcat Goldthwait, It was sort of distracting, IMHO if she kept her main characters as strong as they are and just did a small variation for the other male and female secondary characters it would be much more enjoyable to listen.
Ultimately by trying to make each and every character it's own "character voice" without the vocal chords that are capable of such a feat, they end up becoming "characters" in the 'Saturday Night Live' sense instead of in the dramatic sense.
I don't mean this as a slam, because there are very few people out there who have the ability to create dozens of unique sounding voices that are just normal human voices.
The story Well, this is tough, because I've read some really good MC books and by comparison, this one falls a little short.
The story is written in multiple POV's and frequently switches back and forth within the same chapter and even in the same scene including switching in the middle of a sex scene.
The prologue starts off with a violent rape scene with a character that we virtually never hear from again in the book, Very little time is actually spent with the MC club, We meet very few of the club members, and get sporadic and limited details regarding their enemy or rival clubs and why exactly they are the type of enemies that would call for the level of violence towards each other.
The two main characters fall in love somehow, but I didn't feel any real connection to either of them or feel like I was along for the process of them falling in love.
When the chemistry and banter are right, you find yourself falling in love right along with them and I just didn't get that here.
You feel me
It was ok, but there's definitely room for growth on this one, Oh, and be prepared for a whole lot of loose ends and a big ole giant cliff to dangle off in the end,
I received a copy of this audiobook free of charge from audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review Books that end in suspense are the best and the worst.
the opening was Jessica's pov and it started with a big boom and bang, then she is only mentioned in the passing i really did want closure for her illtreatment, Being the alpha male he is Raptor is, . . actually i don't know what he is he was coming off good but at the end his character was completely destroyed for me, wow but that ending was good really good,
Adriana is not as daring as her BFF but she still holds her own, she falls in love with the bad boy biker, but what hit me the hardest was her bff's fate and the cold heart of her ex who happens to be raptors best friend.
well this is a steamy romance but i did
feel confused at some points and felt that the decisions that they were making are so stupid that even a baby could do better but the drama in this book covered all that up.
is because i am a sucker for drama, .
