🌻Could have been so much more!🌻

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻V from Kansas🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

This was a touching short story about a group of men that ride and work together, in hopes of making amends for their past sins. They investigate unsolved crimes and punish the offender with their vigilante justice.
The crime they solve involve the rape, torture and murder of a nine year old girl.
The author tells an outline, of what could have been, a really powerful story. It’s an ok Escape Package listen but definitely not worth a credit.

overall a good listen.

Kendall Taylor and Aiden Snow are two of my favorite readers to listen too. The story was well written and I enjoyed it. The subject matter though dark was really well told.

Since When Are Disrespectful Men Sexy?

I am seeing this trend over and over again in Contemporary Romances, particularly Biker Romance. Look, I get that these men are supposed to be tough alpha males but I have yet to find an author (other than JR Ward) who can portray these men as hard *and* respectful to women.

Right from the get go I was disgusted and put off by the male lead and his friend's attitude towards women. It is disrespectful and gross. Just because they "don't do serious relationships" doesn't mean they have to treat one night stands like sh*t. If I were to meet my dead friend's brother years later and he and his friends behaved the way these idiots did, I would kick them out of my tattoo parlour and tell them to never come back.

The awful characters aside, the storyline is weak even though it had the potential to be good. After both going through the traumatic loss of a loved one (sister and friend) and growing up scarred from it, the two characters reconnect (if you can even call it that). I found the "reconnecting" forced, rushed and unrealistic.

Chelsea Cameron showed potential in her writing, but she's going to have to do better than this to keep me interested.

In The Red

In The Red is the first book in the Devil's Due series by Chelsea Camaron. I don't usually read MC books. I decided to try this one because Aiden Snow narrated it and I'll try just about anything he narrates. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. It was an entertaining, emotional and hot read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Engaging story

Red by Chelsea Cameron has an engaging plot, telling the story of a brother, Dover, seeking vengeance for his sister’s murder to assuage his guilt. Emerson was his sister’s best friend and meets Dover years later in a small town in Alabama while he is close on the tail of the killer.
Aiden Snow does a great job as Dovers character. Kendall Ryan doesn’t seem to hit the mark as Emerson with me, too country.

Good with few comments

I finished the series and wanted to add to this review.....

Let me say first that I loved this series but just felt that it could have been really great....it really could've but, for whatever reason, the author wanted to lean heavily on lay on the sugar coat which, in SMALL doses, adds to MC stories. In this case, it takes away. Too much of a good thing. While this isn't your typical motorcycle club, the guys are still not the type to say things like, "I believe in you/our love" and "This is us", etc. Just ... no. The story lines are good and could have been developed further, which also would've added to rather than leave the reader feeling shortchanged. Still managed to get the "feels" in and address several important issues in today's world.

The idea of "the devil gets his due" is the recurring theme but could have been emphasized more and developed more. I loved the underlying "Trapper" story (which was a twist in and of itself--loved that!). If this series could be rewritten and developed more, lengthen each one, you'd have a great series, Ms. Camaron, you definitely have the talent!!!

I know that Kendall Taylor and Aiden Snow have narrated many books together ... including MC books but it took me several chapters to get used to her. Aiden Snow is the best in these biker books and that makes up for the weaker female narration in this series. Just be aware that Taylor takes some getting used to.

Meh

Lackluster, fairly generic and emotionally flat somehow.
Characters are hard to invest in and the storyline leaves a lot to be desired.

In the Red

A fast paced, adrenaline fueled, emotional story.
Aiden Snow and Kendall Taylor were fantastic narrators for this thrilling journey. They brought these intense characters to life.

Not bad of a start

This story wasnt bad at all. Lots of triggers for sexual abuse of children. The crudeness if the bikers is different from what I'm used to, but I'm thinking it is a better representation of the lifestyle. Not all bikers are romantic, respectful and sweet talking dudes. Some call women they fuck easily bitches, talk about their cocks and are explicit with each other. I will give the 2nd book a chance to determine how much I like this series. But overall a good story, good pacing and great fucking

the cover on this book messes with me

l love love love this narrator he is awesome I love any book he does but the cover on this book they're too young are they don't look biker enough anyway great book
