Rough Start: A Motorcycle Club New Adult Romance
Publisher Description
Enjoy this MC (motorcycle club) sexy new adult series starter by USA Today Bestselling steamy romance author Summer Cooper and her friend Sienna Chance.
When Eliana's dad died, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She knew that he did his best to provide for her as a single parent. But she wished that he had done it differently.
The night Eliana and her alcoholic father ran away from their home, from the MC, it was the beginning of her sleepless nights, haunted by fear of being captured and dragged by the bikers back to the town she once called home.
Years later, through hard work and grit, she not only graduated from the way-out-of-budget Harvard, but has become a successful lawyer. Now, without her father, she can breathe, stop living in fear, and finally come out of hiding.
But then her ex, Kye, showed up at her dad's funeral unexpectedly. But he wasn't there to pay his respects. He was there for her. Ten years of nothing… he couldn't be there to rekindle the love with his high school sweetheart. He was there to prove his loyalty to his MC, the same one that she feared so much. He was there to drag her by force to their small town, to pay an impossible debt that belonged to the father she just buried.

Customer Reviews
Rough Start
I really liked this book. I didn’t realize it was a cliffhanger. I never buy the next in a series I just makeup my own ending.., Max thought of Kyle as is own son and wanted to make him happy so he sent Kyle to get Eli and bring her home. The End.
First love gets me every time!
I can’t imagine what it is like if you are a foster child, but Kye’s direction could have gone a few different ways, but he was a naive teenager to just have more however it was possible. Ten years later and they find each other again, or rather he walks back into her life. I’m ready to head into the next book of the series!
I really wanted to like this book
MMC/FMC- Kye and Eliana
POV- 3rd person
Genre- MC Romance
Sub Genre- New Adult Romance
Heat- nope. Kissing. He gets down with somebody else (implied).
Series? Y
Safety: Nope. He cheats, though it’s implied rather than graphically shown that another woman goes to Australia on him.
Cliffhanger? Y and no HEA.
Triggers- Cheating, Language, Violence.
Tropes- First Love, Sins of the Father: Do or Die, Dysfunctional Families FTW, Disorganized Crime, Lawyer/Outlaw.
What I liked- this one wasn’t my favorite. It was well written and I did like the heroine. And for awhile, the love between the two main characters was sweet.
What I didn’t- the book had no steam. It wasn’t exactly riveting, either. I just came away with it feeling frustrated, particularly with the Hero. He supposedly joined the MC for freedom, money, and power, but he’s powerless when a higher up sends him a woman to cheat with, plus he can’t do anything to save the heroine from being taken by the MC. He may have loved her, but he loved himself a lot more. This is not conducive to Romance.
Verdict- I’m going to read the next installment in the series, but as far as I’m concerned, the series is on probation with me.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
