From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Unruly (Knights in Black Leather, #2) . . .
I find that romance triangles are full of
intrigue and interesting twist and turns, but this was the kind of triangle
that none of the participants wanted. I felt very little interest and the twist
and turns were mostly expected. Noah had her used her and discarded her, but
still wanted her. Alamo wanted her, needed her, but wasn’t supposed to touch
her. Ellen was tired of it, Noah, the club, the I want you but can’t keep my
pants up and hands to myself. Then comes in Alamo.
I guess this just was not my cup of tea. I
could read it with no issues but I did not feel the emotional connection that I
crave. I want to feel connected to a character anyone. Its better when I can
feel the connection with the main characters, but that was lost on me.
I found the writing to be good but there was
not connection points for me to fully enjoy what I was reading.

The
second novel in Ronnie Douglas’ sexy Southern Wolves motorcycle club
series—reminiscent of Kristen Ashley and Jay Crownover—tells the story of an
aspiring fashion designer and a biker who discover a desire that knows no
limits.
When the daughter of one of the
Southern Wolves gets a flat in the middle of a thunderstorm, there’s only one
thing to do—strip down to her underwear and get a little muddy. But when Alamo,
the sexy biker shows up to rescue Ellen yet again, things are bound to get a
whole lot dirtier.
Between the trouble he left behind and
club rules, Alamo knows he needs to stay clear of Ellen. He’s not looking for a
woman or complications—even when that woman is everything a man could want.
Unfortunately, Ellen isn’t playing by anyone’s rules but her own these days,
and a Southern woman who’s been raised by Wolves is awfully hard to deny.
So when they give in to their raging
attraction, both get much more than they bargained for.

This
time they had a reason of sorts. He had put that pendejo in the hospital. And an uptown white boy in his expensive
clothes could afford the sort of lawyers who twisted truth until it looked
nothing like reality. Alamo knew it, had known it before he’d taken the first
swing. Sometimes, though, a man had to stand up for a woman regardless of the
cost. Zoe’s friend had no one else to stand up for her, so Alamo did what
needed doing. It was that simple.
“You can’t just do that!” Zoe snapped
at him when he’d walked into the little apartment they shared. “I might not be
a kid, but I still don’t need my brother in the lockup.”
“He hurt Ana.”
“You are not the law, Alejandro. You
wear that jacket”—she pointed at the vest with the Southern Wolves patches
prominently displayed—“and you forget that you’re not above the law.”
“Lobita,” he started.
“Don’t you ‘little wolf’ me, mister!”
His sister’s hands landed on their customary position on her hips. She was a
tiny little thing, but she had the attitude of a dozen girls. “If you end up in
jail, I’ll . . . I’ll find someone big enough to kick your ass. Then where will
you be, eh?”
Alamo bowed his head, as much to hide
his smile as to let her know he was listening to her chastisement.
“You call Nicky, you hear me? You find
out where you can move because you’re not staying here. That boy . . . he has
friends. I don’t want this to get worse.”
“Lobita . . .”
“No! You call your Wolves, and you move. We talked about it for next year, anyhow. Clean start.” Zoe took a
shaky breath, let it out, and looked at him. “Ana says thank you and that she’s
okay. She’s . . . sorry.”
“Don’t need to be sorry. She did
nothing wrong, Zoe. You make sure she gets that.” His hands fisted despite his
intention to keep calm, and the already bloodied knuckles smarted.
Alamo might not have had a father most
of his life, but he knew what a man was supposed to be like just the same.
Growing up, he’d just studied what his mother’s long list of lovers did.
Whatever they did, he did the opposite. That was all the guidance he’d needed. That was why Alamo went after the buttoned-up man-boy who’d gotten Ana
drunk and taken what wasn’t his right to take.
“Call Nicky,” Zoe said, and then she
turned away. “And put ointment on those cuts.”
She was right. Being the stand-in
parent for Zoe had always been harder because she was right more often than not. Her excesses of common sense made
her awfully hard to handle. Of course it also meant that it was less worrisome
to leave her behind with Ana. She’d be okay; he knew that. Both of the Díaz siblings
were survivors.
