Ok so this book took me to places that I had NO idea it would go. I feel like I went with them to Vegas- all the lights, smells, sounds- it was very detailed. The whole Elfin Odyssey thing was a funny touch and giving her brother an honest review of her first time having sex with Heavy- hilarious.

Dina is on the spectrum with autism, so I expected some quirky, honest, mild book. What we got was bikers and their loud and dirty lives, strippers, sex, smells, murder, good humor and the inner mind of Dina and Heavy as they navigate their attraction to each other. And yes, brutally honest. The author has done her homework highlighting the world from Dina's eyes.

It was a bit insta, but sometimes a person just captivates you. There were no love declarations at the first, just wonderment internally about how they never felt this before- what is it, etc.

Heavy and Dina - sheer perfection! The story captured my attention, and heart, from the first page and I loved every moment of this one.

FABULOUS!!! This book was more then I was expecting. I loved watching the love between Heavy and Dina unfold. It was not typical but it was theirs. I feel like this book could have started off with ...... "what do you get when two geniuses collide?"

Dina held the missing pieces to a very old mystery that Heavy, his sister and all the brothers have been trying to put the puzzle pieces together for years. All she wants in return is help covering up a crime. People often short change Dina because she doesn't think the way most people do, but Heavy figured it out pretty quickly. This giant of a man was intrigued by her mind and baffled by his desire for a little pixie.

I loved watching this story unfold. I loved the detail with the scents and stimuli that played a role within these pages. I loved seeing Dina match wits with Heavy. I loved little glimpses of the other guys and their old ladies. I loved seeing justice served. I even loved giving up most of my hate for Harper.

Bravo! I highly recommend this book and this series. I do strongly suggest you read these books in order or the underlying plot, world building and mystery will be completely lost for you.
