Where We Started

Stone Riders MC, Book 1

By: Ashley Muñoz

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo, Bradley Ford

Usually watching a notorious biker club mourn the loss of their beloved president would be a dangerous choice. Ten out of ten do not recommend. Unless, of course, you're family.

I didn't really consider myself part of my father's legacy...until I found out what he left behind in his will: property, ten acres to be exact, which included the headquarters for his beloved motorcycle club. I had no idea that accepting the terms of my inheritance would thrust me into a battle with the new club president, Wesley Ryan. He's unfathomably handsome, menacing, and formidable in every way. But his derision toward me only makes me cling that much tighter to my birthright. That is, it did until he decides to play dirty.

Wes doesn't just taunt me by bringing up our past, he wants us to go all the way back to where we started. Back to when we were nine and I was just the girl next door who snuck into his treehouse. Back to when he'd fight the boys who made me cry. Back to when he first kissed me and stole my heart. I have to remember Wes wants to claim my father's property, not me. I walked away once. I just have to prove I'm strong enough to do it again.

Amazing start for this new MC series! 🤩

This was so good!! A really great start to the series! 💕

Had so many good tropes that blended so well together. MC, second chance, first love, he falls first, small town, forced proximity, and even some suspense!

I was fuming at Wes for the first half of this, cause he was so callous to Callie, I was fighting not to throat punch him lol. But with the flashbacks to the past, you get a better understanding of everything that happened and why he is the way he is. After the halfway mark, I was just rooting for them to get back together. Wes was SO devoted to Callie, and there’s something that you find out later on about how devoted he was that makes you fall more in love with him.

I loved the flashbacks to the past, because you get to see how their love formed and why everything happened when it did. It makes their reunion that much sweeter, knowing everything that they’ve been through. Together and apart.

I loved the side characters and can make some guesses about who might be getting a book. 🤭 Namely, Killian and Laura. I hope they do! I know that their story would be so good.

I also listened to the audiobook for this as well as reading it on my kindle, and I thought the audiobook performance was so good! Lauren played Callie extremely well, and so did Bradley for Wes’s character. They’re both new to me narrators who I think performed their roles perfectly! Highly recommend! 💕

The kind of MC Romance I like

Spicy with an excellent storyline to back it up. Great narration and good timing throughout. Not too slow and not too fast. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

I felt the love they had for each other

It was intense and emotional. Their love was deep, and on a level I’ve rarely felt in a book based on fiction. Even though I was frustrated with their lack of communication at times, this author is to be commended for her writing. Honestly, I didn’t even pay attention to grammar. It could have been bad, it could have been great, the story was that good. This is a MC book, but I felt deeply reading this book. The only con: I do wish there was less sex and profanity.

Wow plot and spice!!

4.5 ⭐️ New to this author and I really enjoyed this book. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

I like this MC

I was new to Ashley and to the narrators.
It was a different story line from other MC’s that I’ve read. But I really like it.
I will definitely check out more of her book and other books from the narrators too.
