Devil's Mark

Holly Chambless life is in ruins. Her father the Mayor is going down for corruption and her mother has been in a drug-induced haze for as long as Holly can remember. When her best friend tells her there is a job opening at the local biker bar, Holly is all set to leave her squeaky-clean image behind.

Killian “Uptown” Chenier has no time for the stuck-up daughter of the man who screwed the Devil's Keepers. He likes it fast and wild and forgettable. So why can't he get the naive princess out of his head?



So this one was just OK for me. Both the hero/heroine spend WAY too much time talking in their heads and because of that, I had a hard time getting into it, to be honest. There also wasn't really a single likable character in the book. Holly was described like some bobble headed Disney princess idiot and Uptown was nasty.

I don't expect MC guys to be angels farting rainbows, but I do expect to at least find something likable with my hero. This guy was just kind of a disgusting and needed a bleach bath just to make him halfway decent. In fact, the whole entirety of the club was a bunch of nasty gross assholes, as were the old ladies.

When Holly's best friend tells her what she had to do JUST to be a bartender and get tips...well I threw up a little in my mouth. Blow the owner of the bar. Then have anal sex with him while everyone watches, then she got to blow a line up of members of the MC. and according to Uptown, they took it easy on her because they LIKED her the other women had is worse.

Like I said, I don't expect unicorns farting rainbows, but geez this is a series and because of that I need to at least somewhat think these dudes have some sort of morals. In any case, like I said it was just OK. I doubt I'll continue on with the series.

2.5 Stars

Well, actually the story progressed quite nicely surrounding the MC in this book, and I enjoyed the back and forth between Uptown and Holly, I had planned on rating this book 3.5 stars, and rounding up, however, there was something that really pissed me off. In the scene where they have sex, good ol virginal Holly says the MOST ridiculous thing for someone to say in a contemporary setting. Something along the lines of “you dont have to wear the condom with me, I want to feel you.” And well, MAYBE, after dating for a while and sleeping together together for a while, in the heat of the moment, its something you forget, but not your first time. You barely know the guy, but you KNOW he has sex regularly, you want to find out about STD's the hard way? Or get pregnant? Whatever, this really hits a nerve with me though. How stupid can you be. At least he left it on.

I am enjoying the DKMC drama, turns out Digger is up to something. I am curious to find out what since the club found out he was working with Sugar, supposedly a nemesis of theirs. and what will happen when Whale stops showing up to stuff?
