Bryce is new in town and working for her father's newspaper. For her first story, she wants to investigate the now disbanded biker club in town. But, she gets more than she bargains for when a woman is killed and the former president of the biker club is accused. 

Honestly, I didn't love this one. I found the characters to be lacklustre and kind of boring. Bryce was supposed to be this badass woman, but was pretty whiny and needy. Dash didn't make sense to me. He was this closed off man who was very opposed to relationships, then in 6 weeks he has a complete personality transplant? 

I was very annoyed that this was not a completed story.
The ending made it seem like there was a HEA, yet there was still the looming unsolved murder mystery. They basically made no progress in solving the case. There are way too many questions still unanswered for this book to be over.
