Rough & Tumble

Awesome AlphasI was in a real book slump. I wanted a Alpha that loved his women hard! I found it in Jace. I cannot wait to read about the other guys. Awesome book!

*** I voluntarily reviewed this book, for the Publisher, I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book, these are my honest ramblings and I hope you enjoy reading them - kat***Jace Kennedy on the surface is the type of guy you tell your daughters to stay well away from, he is bright and dedicated and he gets what he wants, lives by his own code even if it's not quite within the law.Vivienne Moore's determined to break the mould of her upbringing, even if that means hiding her true personality. I felt for her, with her only family being either a mother who left for a better meal ticket or the drunk sister on a mission to destroy herself, she is just holding onto the fledgling business she has set up doing event management.When she rescues Callie from Jace's nightclub, Jace decides he wants to know more about the uptight woman in the suit... who still dresses in work gear on New Year's Eve.Vivienne knows Jace is dangerous because he makes her feel... will she risk it all to live for herself?Jace will not let her say no - so she ends up having no choice but to look at why she is hiding in suburbia when if she spread her wings she could fly and let her creativity soar.Although Jace was walking a fine line from being an all out biker gangster, Ms. Morgan has created his character and his 'Brotherhood' with more of an old-fashioned code of the wild west cowboys or maybe robin hood... Men that stood against the corrupt town elite rather than robbing and pillaging the poor locals.I liked that about the Haven Brotherhood, The two Matriarchs were also a bright spot for me, you saw where their morality came from, yes these boys grew up on the streets, but they'd dragged themselves above the gutter and tried to better themselves and their family... whether blood or chosen brother.Jace slowly and carefully showed Vivienne that she was not doing herself or Callie any favours by enabling her partying ways. He was a bit of a control freak at times, but then this is an Alpha male we are talking about so it was not a surprise.The adorable Ruger made me want a dog, he was a cute side character that showed Jace and Vivienne's softer side. Vivienne was no wilting damsel in distress either, which I was grateful for, I like my MH/FH to have an equal footing in a relationship.I enjoyed Ms. Morgan's writing style, the story flows, drawing you into the relationships between the characters which will hopefully get their own books, and I think I will be adding the series to my Series Read list.
