My 5 star review of Lock & Key by Cat Porter


Synopsis

I suppose some of us have to get really dirty before we can become truly clean.

I was allegedly South Dakota’s most famous old lady.
Sixteen years ago I survived my old man’s murder

Never again.
Never again will I surrender my heart.
Never again will I sacrifice to the Club.

But that all changed in one night.

I came home and crashed into him,
and my past and present blew up in my face.
Both of us lonely, running on empty, and unwilling to admit it.

Until now.
Now I feel things I’d forgotten about, want things I’d cut out of my insides.

Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away from you.
When it first sinks its teeth in you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.

I’d forgotten that.

Who holds the keys to betrayal? To suspicion? To trust?
To brotherhood? To family?
To redemption and a bleeding heart?
Right now, I just might.

My Review - 

Holy Crap..... this book.... I'm still thinking about it a few days later.  It was exactly what I had been wanting for awhile!   It's told in alternate POV's with flashbacks and I want to do a re-read - like right now!  

"Truth is a painful sword.  It cuts deep and stings, but the pain evaporates, the blood dries, and in the place of such savagery is a gleaming absolution and an absolute purity"


This book was very well written.  It was creative, sexy, emotional, edgy, raw.  It made me laugh and it made me cry.  It has everything I love in an MC book.  A wide range of emotions!   And for the characters to be in their 40's.... that was refreshing and I loved it! 

It' s not very often I find a book that is so good it knocks me off my feet and leaves me with a book hangover.  This one...did just that!   I don't even know if I can find the right words to describe just how good this book is.  No review can do this book justice.  You just have to one click and find out for yourself.


"Love you no matter what, so just suck it up" 

We are introduced to Grace - who is on a journey back home to her sister and the life she left 15 years ago.  As we follow Grace through present day.  We see glimpses of her past through her flashbacks that shed light to the current situations at hand.  You will emotionally connect with her and your heart will ache.  She's been through a lot and yet she is still a strong, sassy, independent woman.  Going back "home" was not what she initially wanted.  She didn't want to face the club she left behind.  Too many memories.  

Miller "Lock" - a chance meeting turns into something bigger.  Something neither could have imagined.  Fate? Maybe?    I enjoyed seeing his tough, alpha, bad boy biker side and yet to see a glimpse of his "softer" side at times was refreshing too.   He wants to overcome his past as well and find his HEA if possible.  

This isn't an easy love story.  There is a lot of redemption floating around.   Will their demons win?  Or will the two of them come out strong and freed?  And able to find love again.... 

There were so many layers to this story with a few plot twists that I didn't see coming.  Sit down and hang on.... you are about to embark on a ride full of bad memories , rough pasts, and a shady future - with hope for a HEA.  

This was a story about  Sacrifices, survival, acceptance, betrayal, heartache and second chance love.  The story of Grace "Little Sister", Miller "Lock" and Jake "Dig" is one that will be with you for awhile.  The author has a great way with words.  I found no flaws whatsoever!   I felt every "feel" that the characters felt!  And I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good MC book!
