Publisher's summary

When life gives you lemons, it's time for shots of tequila.

That's my new saying in life, and trust me, life has handed me lots of lemons.

My name is Danielle DeChenne, and for 18 years I took every punch "destiny" threw at me. Now, I'm no longer a naive girl. Traumatic abuse will do that to you. I was forced to grow up too fast, and the one person I depended on - that gorgeous Marine, Zane - turned his back on me. So now I say screw the lemonade and just give me a bottle of Jack Daniel's, because I don't believe in destiny anymore.

There is no pre-destined path set out for each of us. That crap doesn't exist.

Sometimes bad things happen; it's just how the world works. It sucks, but you have to pick yourself up and get on with your life. Even if it's an impossible task.

I'm done sitting around and waiting for my life to change or something good to fall in my lap. It took me awhile to understand, but once I stopped being the doormat for destiny, it was time for me to take control. Now I decide where I go in life and what will happen. It won't always be pretty, it will sometimes hurt like hell, but I will make sure I live my life to the fullest.

Then the gorgeous Marine from my past returned with a vengeance - except this time, I was ready for him.

It's time to rewrite destiny.

Meet The Sinners.

I've been in a rut. A bad one. Nothing could pull me out but I picked up this one and I don't know if I'm out of my rut, but this series is definitely keeping me company in this purgatory.

Since this is like the prologue to the Forsaken Sinners MC series, most of the story doesn't take place with the MC. Its not until the end that we start to meet the Sinners and the characters that will complete the series.

The story line was just interesting enough to pull me in and hold me there. Not too deep, not too light. A whole lot of Alpha goodness.

Triggers? Rape & close familial loss.

Dani’s story

Dani has had a rough start to her life. Experienced losses way to young. She is lost when the one person she depends on isn’t there for her.

Dani is stronger than she realizes. She is a fighter.

Zane says he loves her but does not show it. Will they get a HEA? Read/listen to find out.

Hold on to your heart.

I could barely stop listening to this book. it's a non-stop ride of the heart. A tale of heart ache that people can relate to.

so good!!

this book made me want to cry!! it was an amazing story. so much negative happened in this story and it still came out good. Hopefully there is more to this story.

Loved

I Loved this book. It made me laugh and cry.
Can't wait for more!!!!!! ❤️ <3

YC to MC

This isn't your typical MC novel. I almost question why it is marketed as such because the MC doesn't get introduced until the middle of the novel. Danielle and Zane were childhood best friends. They became really close after Zane's older brother died. They clearly harbored feelings for one and other but Zane was having trouble rectifying those feelings and what that would mean for his relationship with her. Because of some traumatic experiences and Zane's negligence she flees their home state and starts anew. A few years later, Danielle (now going by Dani) is a tattoo artist and adoptive daughter to MC president of Forsaken Sinners MC. She and Zane cross paths again as a result of her association with the MC.

For most of the book I was pissed off with Zane. He constantly abandoned and ignored her. He also hid something from her that created more complication in their relationship. He was especially unlikable when he left Danielle by herself after he promised to take care of her because he wanted to get laid. This action indirectly resulted in her getting hurt. I think I would have liked this if it had more of a flashback format. It started off as a YC friends to lovers story and then ended as an MC story. Dani's growth throughout the story made a lot of sense; it felt like tow different stories being told because it was two different versions of the same person (Young and bright eyed Danielle vs. Cold and Kick ass Dani)

Overall I liked it but I'm not really sure if I want to continue with the series. While I would have preferred a male narrator, Tia Sorensen did a great job portraying both characters.

Excellent Book!

this was a good book When I read it I wast kept on my toes. It has plot twists that I hadn't seen before. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.

ONE WOMAN'S TRIUMPH OVER TRAUMA & TRAGEDY

This isn't so much of a 'Biker' story but rather it's the story of one sweet 13 yr old's journey through life's emotionally vicious waters until eventual she finds herself and her HEA... with the Forsaken Sinners MC. It's the 0.5 Prequel to a Biker series but first you're taken on Danielle's sweet and innocent tight friendship with the boys next door - Zane and Zeke... and the joy, happiness, emotional turmoil, hurt, heartbreak, betrayal and devastation that happened to her along the way because she'd mistakenly trusted wholeheartedly and loved completely - Zane.

Danielle's journey took many years, and skipped four, but she emerged from her previous life's ashes a new woman... Dani - an independent fiery woman, capable of protecting herself and her heart and a badass who was loved like a Princess by a family of 1% Outlaw Bikers... and she fit right in. Even though it had been many years since she'd last seen Zane somewhere in her bricked up heart was a crack that let all the memories in.... of lost love, of regrets, of broken promises - and of a night that changed everything. But there's two sides to everything and she hadn't heard Zane's side YET... but that was about to change because Destiny had come calling for her.

Although this story was set mainly in Danielle and Zane's teenage years it wasn't giggling girls and whispered secrets because Danielle only had one friend... Zane and it was his confusing and conflicting actions that brought about so many intense problems. That and the failing health of the only person who loved her... her precious Grandmother who'd taken her in when she was Motherless and abandoned by her Father. It was a bitter-sweet story of a young girl's feelings of friendship and love for a boy who was determined to keep his distance. But when the years had turned that misunderstood boy into a man... then it was game on.

Worth a credit? Good roller-coaster story of young love and all the emotional confusion it brings with it, the tale of one girl's struggle against life's bitter lemons and the angst, dramas, heartache, passion and sex as one of those lemons finally catches up with her in her adult years. It's also a great introduction to various Members of the Forsaken Sinners MC. Told from Danielle's POV and a sprinkling from Zane's too which gave you insight into his motives and heart. However, for me, the narrator couldn't do male voices... let alone Alpha males and it lost a star because of this - however, IMO, it's still creditworthy and the foundation stone for a new exciting Biker world. SPOILER & WARNING - there is a brutal rape scene.

DESTINO!

I always escape with my audio books. This one made me cry because of the richness of Danny's strength

Great story

Great story wish their were more biker gangs action more thriller how’re the story to the end did stop me heart or should a say crack it for what the girl was feeling and went through. That would be hard to forgive not sure I could if I was in her shoes, most stories I listen too I alway saying how that character is dumb and kind of her fault but I couldn’t really say it here. Any ways just my opinion. Great story wish their was a sexy male narrator
