In a Flutter: Fun

Liv never expected to find herself trapped in an alley facing a band of rough bikers. And she certainly never expected to see him again…
When Shock encounters an old flame in a dark alley, it sends him spiraling. She’s still as beautiful as ever, but she seems to have fallen on hard times since college, and he’s concerned about the risks she seems to take. In order to keep her safe and finally have her for himself, he makes a sensual deal: his help for her complete submission. But will Liv be able to let go of the past and fall for the hard rider?

Fluttering Thoughts:

Worldbuilding: Still interesting, though not my cuppa, to be honest. The ties between these particular bikers include things I don’t find interesting in the least (sharing).
Characters: Liv and Shock got closer, their relationship developed a bit, but there are still issues there and people meddling. I liked the progress, but was iffy about the direction.
Plot: The relationship evolves, and it was fun.
Writing: Third person, past tense narrative, his and her POV.
Curb Appeal: Interesting cover, though it would most likely push me away (3some or moresomes are not a thing I enjoy) – I found it misleading since there’s no hopping around in this part of the story, though there is talk of it.

All in all, a good addition, though maybe not a full 3 butterflies. Read the third part of the full novel right after this one, so it kept me interested, but not fully engaged.
