PERSUASION #1

PERSUASION  #1                                              VIOLETTA RAND

Lang Anderson may be the new leader of the Sons of Odin motorcycle club, but his personal life is in shreds. He’s struggling to take care of his three young sisters in the wake of tragedy, while rumors of drug dealing within his ranks jeopardize everything he’s built. The last thing he needs is another distraction—like a bar brawl over a woman—but Lang is a sucker for a damsel in distress. And this one gets him roaring like a finely tuned engine.

High school guidance counselor Lily Gallo is no fender bunny. So why can’t she get Lang off her mind? Lily’s head says the rugged, rough-and-tumble biker who came to her aid is bad news. Her body begs to differ. But when Lang’s troubled kid sister walks into her office, Lily’s determined to help, even if it puts her in the crossfire of a gang war. On a crash course with danger and desire, Lily partners up with Lang to fight for his family—and for love.
MY REVIEW:

     Lang Anderson was a man on a mission. You see just seven months ago his parents were killed in a motorcycle accident.   Leaving Jess Mansard acting president of the Sons of Odin MC.  The left him full custody of his three sisters.  Whose lives are shattered, vulnerable, and leaving them scared.

     Now though things had to change. Jess was brought up on charges and if he is found guilty he could get the death penalty.  Or plead out and get life.  Either way sealing his fate.  Lang would be the president.  One never wanted or dreamed of at all.

     He will be a third-generation member, Lang held partial deed in the club property and bar.  Now it was time for the charging of the guards and those he brings with him.  Which will be interesting transition.  You see Lang had no choice being the only son of the former president and grandson of the founder of the club he was so slated.  The only time he lived a so called normal life was school which he took full advantage of all things offered because at the end to high school reality began.

     His dad was a hard man.  Although they never got along he respected and loved him and mourns him.  His dad could never understand the new breed of bikes coming in and the call for less violence and a new way to do business. Lang had to change though he had his sisters to think about and he couldn’t let them down.

     One night when he had him and his officers go out to a nightclub to relax away from the clubhouse, their night club or anything related to the MC.  With the bad press they had been getting due to Jess the past president of Sons of Odin they need to just sit back and have a few drinks and relax.

     It was karaoke and classic rock: “Party like a Rock Star Night” at Tito’s.  Lilliana (Lily) Gallo who had just moved here from Philadelphia and her college best friend Tina were going to go and enjoy a fun night.  A couple of times she almost talked herself out of it.  You see she moved here to discover herself and escaped her parents, who were having a messy divorce.  She did make it to Texas to be a high school guidance counselor.  This night she was just a twenty something out with a friend having a good time.  Except for one problem.  When she and Tina come off the stage after singing two karaoke songs and they were blocked by two mean looking bikers they scream out when one of them grabs Lily’s ass.  When Lang hears that he jumps up.

     When all of a sudden two sexier than all get out men come to their aid the two women back up a foot and the sexier of the two men gets in between Lily and the man that had grabbed her ass.  Basically to keep the women out of harm’s way.  The rescuers are Vincent and the President of the Sons of Odin Lang Anderson.  They get rid of the other two guys and ask Lily and Tina to join them for drinks.  Not knowing who the guys are they say sure for they are grateful for the rescue.  You see Lang has eyes for Lily and vice a versa.  When they introduce one another and they shake hands they feel the electricity and know there is something more.

     This was one interesting story one that I was not expecting at all. I was expecting blood and guts you know stereotyping.  Yet the thing was not the way it was.  This was very endearing and so worth the read for sure.  I give this 5 stars.  Provided by netgalley.com.  Follow us at: www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
