I believe that I got this book as a freebie as the start of a series, and it seems to be a bit confused. The series is listed on Goodreads as the Savage Disciples MC. The cover shows it as the first of the Disciples' Daughters Series. On my Kobo, the listing is Clutch: Disciples Daughters #1 (Savage Disciples). I don't know if the author changed her mind part way through or what and I only mention it because searching for the info on the series might require a bit of hunting. The author is Drew Elyse.

I haven't made a particular point of reading motor cycle club romances, but I have come across a selection in my reading. I'm not a fan of "dark mc" novels, to me it's just romanticizing a host of behavioural and personality disorders. "He abuses me, but he loves me and doesn't let anyone else hurt me, so it's ok." Yuck. The good news is that this book doesn't fall into that category. Yes, it's a MC, so there are some fairly well-defined gender roles and some of them might not to be the taste of the general public. But within the community, they are accepted and understood.

Given that, I quite enjoyed this book and the main characters. They are human beings, who make mistakes and have baggage. But they also do a pretty reasonable job of communicating, and learning from their mistakes. There are enough road bumps to make the story interesting, but there is a refreshing lack of manufactured drama.

The book was well written but there was one unfortunate homophone error that showed up several times. She used "road" to mean both "street" and the past tense of "ride". Hint: it should be "He rode his bike down the road." Considering this in an MC series that seems to be up to six books, I genuinely hope someone has pointed this error out to her.

As a lover of MC romances, I was looking forward to reading this book.

We are introduced to the Disciples MC and meet Camille, who is the presidents daughter. In order to escape from the MC life, Cami has resorted to taking drugs & alcohol everyday and living her life with a fiance that treats her like shit.

Gauge is all about the MC and nothing more, but when he goes with his president to visit Cami, he has another focus Cami. Cami also has eyes for Gauge.

A story of two people whose pasts are always getting in the way of happiness.

A story that is well developed and easy to read. Characters who are jumping off the page.

I look forward to see what the next book in the series entails.
