Duke (Fallen MC 1)-- C.J. Washington

            There were quite a few spelling mistakes in this book. For me to notice, that is saying a LOT. There were quite a few forgotten words or misplaced letters. That being said, I actually really enjoyed this installment of the series and cannot wait for the rest. 

            The book is told in the perspective of the two main characters. Nicole and Duke. Duke is a sexy biker, who within the first moments of meeting Nicole he was captivated. Her green eyes and black hair were just so appealing. {Let’s just talk about her hair for two seconds. It is described as being down to her butt, that’s fine and all but seriously, I guess that the author thinks that THAT long of hair is sexy. Let’s be honest for two seconds and admit that while it would be sexy for a little bit in the long run it would be a pain in the ass. She would always be sitting on it; it would take days for her hair to dry and not to mention all the shedding. Duke probably would not enjoy all the random long-ass hairs he would find all over his room.} Any hoo, back to Duke—he is the VP of Fallen MC; his job at the beginning of the book is to look after the collateral, i.e. Nicole. He expected her to be weak and sniveling instead he found a confident, beautiful woman.

            Nicole had been collateral too many times to count for her father. Her dad is a shady, no-good person. He always seems to owe people money and never has the money to pay them back. Each time he gives his daughter up for collateral. That usually works until this time she falls in love with one of her captors. Well, captor might not be the right word, the Fallen MC told her the score first thing, she would not be allowed to leave the compound, no phones and she wasn’t going to be turned into a club slut. So I would say she was more of an unwilling guest.

            As with all novels there is conflict and strife but I won’t divulge any details because that would be 

I will say that a few things were a bit not realistic but hey it’s a book and I don’t read for realism or I would be reading books about stay at home moms who kids only eat quesadillas. Not the most interesting of things.

         I can honestly say this this is one my my new favorite biker novels. There was something about the writing that kept pulling me in, driving me to read more. There was also the fact that Nicole is not like a lot of the other women in biker novel, your basic Damsel in Distress. She has been there, done that and gotten a T-shirt too many times to count. She knows how to deal and she is not putting up with anyone's shit. Love her for that!
