Dr. Lila Emerson is finally free of the shadow of her politically connected family, with her new job in a small-town emergency room. But her new peace is shattered when she encounters the dangerous but compelling Striker. He's everything she should stay away from but all she craves. And since he keeps turning up in her ER, he's hard to avoid.

As vice resident of No Prisoners outlaw motorcycle club, Striker is no stranger to violence. But when it touches the pretty doctor he wants in his bed, he'll do anything to keep her safe. When Striker and Lila are thrust together, sparks fly, and passions ignite. Before long they find themselves entangled in a relationship neither saw coming.

The MC can and will eliminate any threat against Lila, but what if they - and the man she's falling for - are the reason she's in danger?

Just ‘good’

This book should have been really good, but the horrible cliches and formulaic writing became pretty monotonous.
I liked Striker, he was fine, though there were heaps of character contradictions, such as him deciding he wouldn’t change or leave the club for the girl, him being violent, and a murderer etc. and then the heroine describes him as a truely good man where family values are his priority. Actually he was selfish, he put her at risk because he wanted something from her, he prioritised his own wants over hers all the time. This story line sort of led to the heroine being pretty bland, somehow she just became a bit of a dumb and nieve foil to showcase the hero.
She says that he respects her work, but actually he just puts her years of hard work and ambition at risk, because what he wants somehow counts more. There wasn’t even that much chemistry.

It’s great - wonderful characters

4/5 stars. Book 1 of series. Great story and pacing. I really liked the characters.

Hot, hot, hot!

Narration was excellent.

SO SO CLOSE TO BEING A PERFECT MC LISTEN

Lila has moved to Arizona to get away from her manipulative and overbearing Father and is now happy with her job as an ER Doctor - especially whenever one particular hot member of the No Prisoners MC comes in. There's always somebody from the MC who needs medical help and they're usually accompanied by Striker - the Alpha, handsome, sexy and charismatic VP. And although Lila feels the hot chemistry and attraction that sizzles between them she wants the white picket fence lifestyle and sadly Striker doesn't look like he's after more than a short-term good time. So Lila resists temptation... until her life is threatened and she's forced to seek refuge at the No Prisoners Clubhouse where Striker immediately takes her under his very protective wing.

Striker loves the MC lifestyle along with the tight friendships he's made over the years - however a certain ER Doctor is taking up way too much of his thoughts these days because he just can't get the beautiful, clever, sassy, quick witted and intriguing Lila out of his mind. So, when a very frightened Lila comes running into his Clubhouse one day, Striker takes the opportunity of whisking her home to 'personally protecting' her and, the more he learns about the good Doctor, the more fascinated, attracted, proud and possessive he becomes. Striker knows he's no good for Lila so battles with himself over bringing her into his dangerous world - but when Lila gets caught up in the middle of a suspicious drug related conflict with the Grimm Brothers MC, the threats to her become more personal, more vicious and more deadly. And spending precious time together brings Striker and Lila closer and closer together.

This was a well developed introduction into a new MC world and the mixed bag of secondary characters who make up the No Prisoners MC. There's suspense, swoon-worthy scenes and humorous banter.... however, it was also the story of how two people, from the opposite sides of the track, meet and fall deeply in love - despite the suspense of death threats, jealousies, MC angst/drama, kidnappings, a twist or two and a deeply disturbed psychotic stalker. There were steamy scenes and dirty talk between a loveable Hero and Heroine who were sensible, older and deeply committed to each other. IMO, this dual POV story was addictive, enjoyable, entertaining, hot, very well narrated and is a great introduction to Lilly Atlas' new Biker series.

Worth a credit? Yes and it's a well paced love story where the Hero and Heroine initially fight their attraction and their feelings for each other - then fight to save it. And when they do give in to their desires - they are 100% loyal, fiercely protective and very loving towards each other.

Not my favorite MC Romance, but has potential

I really, really wanted to like this book after reading rave reviews from other readers/listeners. I found the beginning of the book to be kind of juvenile; I think when a man and woman are attracted it doesn't really play out like high school. Otherwise it is a good story with some fun characters. Lilia and Striker are hot together; deal with an overbearing family of Lila's and her stalker. I look forward to reading the second installment just to see if the story lines become more adult. I used a credit for this story and did not return it but recommend a sale.

Enjoyable MC Romance

This story is a typical mc romance. It is narrated entirely by a male narrator. He was okay except I found his male lead voice to be too gravelly. The story wasn't bad but it wasn't great either hence 3 stars for narration and story. I decided to give 4 stars overall because I enjoy romances more when the female character is self-confident, not a doormat, and not whiny like this woman; she manages to be sweet yet still a little fiesty and strong; the male lead is the typical rough-around-the-edges, dirty talking, sex-on-a-stick, alpha male biker but he is also caring and not a cheater. There is some violence but it's not graphic and there's a HEA:-)
