Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.
My Review:โญโญโญโญ 4 out of 5
Savannah’s an independent, strong woman and hates to ask for help. She’ll do anything to protect her younger sister and keep them both safe. Even if it means she has to do something that she’d normally never do to make the payments that unexpectedly came up. Never expecting to find her best friend’s brother, Ted “Punc” Chisholm, working at Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club when auditions.
Savannah is determined to stand on her own and protect her younger sister, but at what cost. When more danger and trouble finds her leaving Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club after her first full performance, Punc feels responsible and guilty that he let her perform. Now he’s stepping in to make sure she’s okay and protected.
I enjoyed this book and I love the characters in the Riot MC series. This book was filled with page-turning trouble, and danger lurking in the shadows. I’m looking forward to more Riot MC books in the future.
