Synopsis
Welcome to Northern Nevada. The scenery is idyllic, the people are friendly and three Motorcycle Clubs rule the tri-city area between Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe with an iron fist. Gisela wasn’t introduced to the thug life, she was born into it. The daughter of an American gangster, her life has been carefully orchestrated with private education, a law degree and now a respectable law firm she co-founded with Kyra Hughes, her best friend. Life is good until her high school sweetheart walks through the door of Jackson & Hughes and decides to turn her world upside down. Cillian is not an average criminal, he was brought up in the Lucifer’s Saints MC and is now V.P. of a powerful criminal enterprise. He’s no stranger to mayhem yet only one woman has ever made him feel worthy of redemption. He’s a survivor and luck has always been on his side until he is arrested and charged with the murder of an undercover ATF agent. His complicated life becomes more than he can handle when he is forced to face the only woman who has ever turned him inside out. An unconventional love story, unfinished business between these two passionate people—physical, emotional and professional—will spark a fuse that will leave a path of death and destruction in its wake.

Excerpt
Now, I found myself in the same position with Cillian, and I couldn’t do it again. Not only because of Brianna but because I was in love with the fucking guy.
“Leave Brianna and we’ll pick up this conversation at another time. Until that happens…I don’t think I can do this.” My voice was small but firm.
He crawled over my body so he could face me. “Now you’re not playing fair. I told you I would leave her and I will. You can’t deny me—I won’t be able to do this without knowing you’re by my side.”
“And I will be when that Irish bitch is out of your life.” I gritted my teeth together. “You left me in a foreign country for her, and drop kicked my ass outta your life. Now, I’m supposed to drop everything because you give me a few empty promises after mind blowing sex? I want to believe you but we’ve got too damn much history between us, babe. I need to see some actions before I commit to anything.”
Cillian smiled wryly. “Always the fucking attorney. Fine, I’ll show you actions but you better keep up your end of the bargain.”
I turned over onto my side away from him. “Don’t worry about me. Unlike you, I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”

I'm a big fan of MC books and there are so many out there it is sometimes hard to find something a bit more original that really grabs your attention. Well this book achieved that 100%.
The characters were sexy and definitely rough round the edges which is what you expect with this genre. The bikers are crude but sexy and great bbf in my eyes, if you are looking for a down and dirty biker.
I loved the relationship between Cillian and Gisela. It was raw, rough but beautiful at the same time and I truly believed that they belonged together.
The story line itself was captivating and different to a lot of ones that are out there and it really held my attention and kept me hooked wanting to know what would happen next.
This story was sexy, dangerous and captivating and well done to the author for creating such a great story in a very competitive genre.

When I read the bio on this book, I must admit, my first thought was.. "not for me"..I also read a bad review about the novel and it made me less than eager to begin... But after reading the first chapter I was hooked!!
I was surprised at how I couldn't put it down.. Hence reading it in a day and a half.
I enjoyed learning about all the characters and how they fit into the story of Cillian and Gisela. The action and history behind the Motorcycle gangs had me intrigued. Their way of life and how sucked into it they become. Saddened by the fact that there is no way out for them.
The heartbreaking beginning of the love story between these two characters has you feeling angry at how their families betrayed them and hoping for the relationship to be rekindled. The trust and sense of brotherhood between friends and family has you rooting for their safety even though you know that they live lives where it is not always easy for an outsider to show forgiveness.
I just loved this book and hope to get a chance to read the others in the Rough Rider Series.
