Cleaned up my library to remove ebooks and somehow deleted all my Early Reviewer reviews, so unfortunately in recreating them I'm not going to be as detailed. This book did not work for me.

This is yet another book in the Dutchmen Motorcycle Club (MC) and is a very gritty and powerful one. For those looking for a nice, friendly story without its share of nastiness and wrongdoing, this is not the book for you. It is a story of Boots, formerly a member of another MC who had a sordid past of doing what needed to be done. Boots was the enforcer and did whatever it took to protect his former MC, the Dark Horses. Both clubs had done the dirty as far as illegal things but Railroad, the new head of the Dutchmen, worked on turning that around and going straight. Of course, the club had to vote and have consensus, which happened. Those not in agreement left. In time, the Dark Horses were no more. Boots did a couple of years in prison, and decided to not follow that path again. He applied for membership in the Dutchmen’s and was accepted but he would no longer be the enforcer. Although he wasn’t really sorry for what he did to those preying on innocents and others, he vowed to atone for that by leading his efforts in a nonviolent direction, as much as he could. Boots had had an attraction to Mama J or Janice as he prefers to call her for some time, even before her relationship with Nutter. Though never married to Nutter, Janice had several children by him and also took in others that he had with other women. He liked his fun but not his responsibility. Boots admired Janice for the responsibilities she carried and her very caring nature. Janice had kicked Nutter out of her personal life but would have appreciated him showing up to shoulder some of the responsibilities with the children. Railroad and his wife, Gretchen, whom I met in the second book, The Price of Forgiveness, were in this story as well as previously met club members. This is a story of twists and turns and a flip on who the bad guys are. I highly recommend it for those who want to see more of a realistic tale of that side of life we might not otherwise know. ( )
