Publisher's summary

When Clara Delany walks into the Aces High Motorcycle Club's hangout, she's hit rock bottom. She's hiding her car from the repo man, she has less than two dollars in her bank account, and the only employment she can get is delivering messages for a criminal.

All because of a man. Therefore, she's sworn them off.

And then she meets West "Buck" Hardy, president of the Aces High MC.

Buck also meets her, and the minute he does, he makes it clear (to everyone but Clara) that they're starting something. Since Clara doesn't get that message, she decides to leave Buck and sort out her life in order to come back to him clean.

She's not gone but hours before life hits Clara with another blow. Which means Buck and his boys have to ride in and save the day. After that, Buck makes no bones about where they stand.

But does he?

Welcome to the first novel in the Wild West MC series, which will tell the stories of the brothers of the Aces High MC, the Resurrection MC, and the Chaos MC - and the women who love them.

Feels like old time.., Great book!

This book reminds me a lot of the first book I read from Kristen Ashley - the Gambler. Couldn’t put it down!!! The only thing I would have liked more would have been having Jason Clarke throughout the book. I don’t really enjoy having a woman make a man’s voice for the book even if Erin Mallon does a very good job of it. I really enjoy Jason Clarke in the male voices in the Epilogue! Thanks Kristen I really enjoy this one!!!!

Another winner by KA! ♥️♥️♥️

Yes ma’am Buck is hot! Interesting from the beginning and doesn’t disappoint with the almost lyrical dialogue that I live for from her. Erin Mallon slays it as ever! Jason Clarke can always read to me. Yep. Loved it.

Narrator at the end?

I really liked this one and live Kristens writing

The only thing I didn’t like was the narrator at the end, supposed to be Buck, calling Tatiana .. Tad-ee instead of Tod-ee ... the way he referred to her throughout the entire book. Was weird.

I love KA books

I had read a number of reviews before purchasing this book that it was simply a Chaos remake and hesitated to purchase. In a way it was very similar and I can see a set up to this series being similar with the other characters but I don't really care. It was delightful to listen to and I can't wait for more.

Can’t wait for the next one

I really liked the book. I don’t know if I’ve listened to a Kristen Ashley book that I didn’t like. If bossy alpha males bother you or you are offended by lots of f-bombs, this might not be the book for you. For the rest of you, I bet you enjoy the ride!

Well…….

There are a lot of negative reviews. I haven’t listened to Motorcycle Man so I don’t have that to compare to. I love Erin Mallon. She narrates all but the last 2 chapters of the book. It is a hard story. This is more how I think a bike club would be like. I love how KA wrote toots. She well educated can protect her self a bit and is naïve. I will say the were some times that made me uncomfortable. I’m glad I chose to keep listening. You’ll be glad you did too.

SO, A MIXED BAG OF REVIEWS I SEE.. but I loved it

Firstly wow, I can see this book has got some negative reviews along with some positive ones.. we are all very different with different viewpoints, tastes, expectations, limits and criticism.. and each one is right - for that person. So here’s my penny’s worth too.. I love KA stories and an MC romance.. well yes, tick that baby twice. And I was also tempted with Jason Clarke but put a cross here because he was only used for the last chapter and the Epilogue (boo hoo).. however, Erin did a fantastic job and I was totally hooked from chapter 1. And yes, I listened to Motorcycle Man way back in 2014 with its ‘similarities’.. but it’s over six years on now and I just didn’t remember it or care because this, IMO, is a good MC listen. I fell in love with these flawed characters.. I drooled as Buck instantly becomes a possessive alpha MC President who hungrily protects his woman. I swooned at the visuals that went with those badass actions.. I took delicious delight in the well-written plot that involves a damsel in distress and the smokin hot thirty-eight year old President of an MC Club. A seasoned biker who’d been to Hell and back already and is AAAALL man as he slowly outmanoeuvres her enemies and keeps her safe. I sympathized with, and rooted for, Clara, the thirty-two year old penniless, homeless, sweet, naïve and innocent heroine who had to learn the hard way all her tragic life as she was past from care giver to care giver and trusted the wrong person.. a person who nearly ruined her life. I got caught-up in the family dynamics, disfunction and drama that Buck’s ex, his lifestyle and his difficult daughter causes and creates.. but I applaud her character growth during stressful times and learning to let go of her hostility. And to clarify.. but maybe not spoiler free - there was no cheating.. and Buck grabs Clara to lift and move her out of his way while he was angry, not thinking clearly and on-route to seek vengeance for his daughter’s attack, he didn’t realize he had hurt Clara in any way or intentionally did it. So I really liked this first taste of the colorful mixed bag of characters and Club workings in the Aces High MC 💕. WORTH A CREDIT? Yes, I loved every minute of it.. yes it was different, yes it has its wee imperfections.. but you know what, I personally still loved it nonetheless.
