It was a terrible idea to agree to move in with my best friend’s little sister…

She is everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.
As our motorcycle club’s Vice President, I’m charged with her protection.
Touching her would be a penalty subject to death.

When she demands the chance to spread her wings, it’s my duty to go with her.
I knew staying at her new apartment would be excruciating.
Listening to her in her room and imagining her under the fall of the shower.
But when she asks me to crawl into bed with her so she won’t feel so alone, there’s nothing I can do.

One brush of her hand and I’m crumbling.
One crook of those fingers and I’m trapped.
One reckless night and there’s no going back.

Only with the lives we lead, our enemies are never far away, and as she begins to receive threats, I’m in a race to end the threat before it’s too late.
Soon, our secrets unravel, and I’m faced with the consequence of loving her.
But I promised her everything, and I’m willing to offer the greatest sacrifice.

 

Forbidden love shines bright! In an MC, falling for your best friend’s little sister is bad, but when that best friend is also the head of your club, you’re going to be in big trouble if you don’t step back. Trevan can’t resist Elena for long when he’s tasked with being her protection in a brand new apartment on her own. Danger lurks behind the scenes, while secrets are unraveling around them. I liked both main characters and each had a strong back story once the past is unraveled. I am not a fan of going back and forth in time throughout the entire storyline, so that was particularly annoying and this was a major slow burn … almost to the point of boredom. I liked them, wanted them together and even liked the ending, but I wanted more from them and more of getting to see them together and happy once it all worked out before the ending came about. Well developed but slow paced. Overall, still loving the series though.
