He's a bastard with a soul.
The Bastards’ president, Boz Creed, wants to bring Trix’s father down and knows the best way to get to him is by using his precious daughter.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:



If you want him, don't let what he did get in the way.  Think about what he does from here on out, and make your decision of whether you want something more or not.

There's nothing I can do to stop it from happening.  I'm already falling in love with you, and I barely even like you.



My Review:



He was her preadolescent crush and teenaged infatuation.  But these biker clubs are not the warm and fuzzy alpha MC men trope that I am used to reading.  They are not the lovable and misunderstood bad boys that are loyal and tender to their women... nope... these guys are the real thing, the antisocial 1% outlaw criminal element; these are the rough, grizzled, and scary men that kidnap, murder, run drugs and women, and sell guns. Some aren't even loyal to each other much less their women.  The name of their club is the Grim Bastards, and the moniker fits like a glove for the most part.  The story of Dirty Bastard spans over a decade and was written from a dual POV - which I enjoy.  I like being in both main characters' headspace, even if some of the story and visuals had me cringing and flinching.  The writing is often erotically sensual and accompanied by a long-simmering love story.  This was my first experience with either author and as I am still reeling and vacillating in my opinion - it is onward to book two.
