The only thing I was sure of was people lied. They would say they loved you, but their fists would tell a different story. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚, 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚.

When the enigmatic stranger I met once in a run-down diner finds me escaping, he takes the matter in his hands and gives my ex a taste of his own cruel medicine. 𝘼 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙭 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.

I never forgot his warm touch, or the way I felt safe with him for a brief moment before I ran for my life.

Imagine my surprise when half a decade later our paths collide unexpectedly, and I discover he’s part of a powerful MC with ties to my vengeful ex.

After losing my freedom for helping the beaten girl I found on the side of the road, I was determined to let her go. The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another new to me author that’s made a great impression! Linc: The Black Roses MC, Book #1 is a great start to a new series, but also a great introduction to a new to me author.

This story was gritty, twisted and surprising. It starts out with a chance meeting in a run down diner with a waitress that’s withdrawn, quiet, and hiding things. Two MC brothers from The Black Roses MC that happened upon the diner on their way home from a run and then one of those brothers finding the waitress walking along the dark, rainy road at night. He stops to pick her up and helps her out only to be left by her to deal with the aftermath on his own.

Five years later and another chance meeting has these two back together and fighting the past with the MC behind Linc and a couple of sassy women that are in need of help, again.

I loved this story and the characters. The best friend is a great surprise and a wonderful character that left me wanting so much more of her story. Charlie is a woman that is on the run and needs saving, although to hear her talk, she can take care of herself, but when there is a crazy man after her that no one can keep a handle on, she may need to turn to Linc again for saving and protection. I can’t wait to read more of The Black Roses MC and the wonderful characters within the books. I will also be looking for more of Kate Randall’s books to read in my future. So glad I pick this book up.
