My ARC review of Make You Burn (The Deacons of Bourbon Street 1) by Megan Crane

A copy was provided by Net Galley for an honest review

Synopsis


Meet the Deacons of Bourbon Street, bad boy bikers who are hell on wheels—and heaven between the sheets. Megan Crane revs up an irresistible new series co-written with Rachael Johns, Jackie Ashenden, and Maisey Yates.

Sean “Ajax” Harding’s oaths are inked into his skin. Once second-in-command of the Deacons of Bourbon Street motorcycle club, he left New Orleans to protect the brotherhood, and only the death of his beloved mentor, Priest Lombard, could lure him back. Walking into the old hangout gives him a familiar thrill—especially when he gets an eyeful of the bar’s delectable new owner. A wild ride with her is just the welcome Ajax needs. Then he realizes that she’s Priest’s daughter, all grown up and totally off limits.

Sophie Lombard loved her father, not his lifestyle. She’s done with bikers . . . until Ajax roars into town—arrogant, tough, and sexy as ever. And although he treats her like the Catholic schoolgirl he once knew, Sophie’s daydreams tend to revolve around sin. With the very real possibility of heartbreak looming, Sophie knows better than to get too close to an outlaw. But every touch from Ajax is steamier than the Louisiana bayou—and heat like this may just be worth getting burned. 





Review - 

I love a good MC book and this one - for the most part- kept me interested and turning the pages.  There were things that kind of moved slower than I would have liked.  It was not focussed too much on the actual MC side of things.  More of the romance between Ajax and Sophie.  

Ajax is the VP of the MC and he is just as alpha and possessive as most.  He's rough, tattooed and a dirty talker.   What confused me - and I know this is fiction- but how can someone be a VP of an MC and leave the club for ten years and come back and still remain the VP?  

Sophie - daughter of the deceased club prez   She's strong, independent, sassy and stubborn.  A tad broken.  
When the two of them are reunited there is an obvious strong physical attraction.   Dealing with the death of her father and the club president and the attraction the two of them have is what the majority of the book is focussed on.   Old members, who also left ten years ago, return to lay their president to rest.  Ajax wants to restructure and get the MC back on it's feet.  I am hoping there will be more of that in book two. 

The book left a lot of unanswered questions that I can only assume will be touched on in the next book.  

All in all I found this book to be decent with potential to be a Great MC series. 
3.5 stars
