Holding Out By lila Rose

Holding Out  ★★★★

Zara Edgingway is a twenty-six-year-old secretary. She has a daughter that apparently knows-it-all and a best friend that could possibly have the mouth of Satan, but she's been with her through hell and back. Then there's the hunk'a'licious biker neighbour finally showing interest in her. If only she isn't about to face her next obstacle in life, the one she ran from six years ago: her ex husband.

Talon Marcus is the president of the Hawks Motorcycle Club. For two years he's had his eye on the quiet, reclusive, yet sassy, neighbour Zara. Finally, he has the chance to claim her as his woman. Just when her past catches up with her, she'll need, not only his protection, but the help from his biker brothers.
Now, if only she'd stop fighting him along the way.

 when I learned this book had some hot motorcyclist in it and as a lover of SOA, I just new I had to read this book.  However nothing about this book reminded me of SOA, which is actually a good thing. Talons was all kinds of hot and demanding. He was tired of wanting.. he decided Zara was going to be his and she would love it. My mind and my heart had a hard time with this one... there's nothing I love more than an alpha cave man prick.. that's my mind.. but my heart wanted him to be sweet and romantic about making her his.

The big OMG moment that you do see coming wasn't at all what I expected it to be. I was hoping for Ms Rose to take a step into the dark side with this story. But perhaps that's because of my craving for dark and disturbing books.

All in all the story was just ok for me.. Which is why I could only give holding out 4 out of 5 star.
