OK, but left some subplots unfinished
I’ve yet to read a really convincing motorcycle club romance and I’ve read a few. It doesn’t feel real when the characters use words like “intuitive” and have a “defining the relationship” talk with another biker. This one also has a minor character biker who runs a pet grooming business at the club house and “puts ribbons in their hair” - seriously, when does he have time to maim rival gangs?! Anyway, wealthy orphan and ballet dancer, Morgan Wentworth’s life is endangered when his estranged biker brother is killed and the Hedonists MC offer to protect Morgan at the club house. Zeke is assigned the task and struggles with a bisexual awakening as he develops feelings for Morgan. I liked Morgan, despite his strange decision-making and I could sympathise with Zeke as his world turned upsidedown. I felt that dealings with Morgan’s wealth and Zeke’s dad were left unfinished and I wasn’t sure we needed the final subplot. Christopher Rain did a solid job on the audio book.

Not your normal MC book
I tend to avoid MC books, they are just not my thing. But, the book was free at one stage and it had good reviews so I gave it a go. I also took advantage of the Whispersync pricing and got the audio too. I'm glad I did it was a good combination.
The MC, The Hedonists, are not your normal MC, they are fairly benign, just a group of friends running an interesting business, but they are not dark 'bad boys' like a lot of MC books. I kind of even forgot it was a MC book, it seemed more like just a group of friends than anything, but the theme is there but it's certainly not dark.
I really enjoyed the story. It's definitely opposites attract, but I like both of the main characters.
This was my first book narrated by Christopher Rain, and I admit it took me quite a few chapters to get use to his vocal style. Once I did though, I really enjoyed it and I think it suited these characters well. The other characters (who will also get their own books) also had really unique voices. It was a great job all round.
I've since read/listened to book two in this series with the same narrator and I enjoyed it just as much.
If the storyline intrigues you I'd suggest you give it a go. If you're like me, don't be put of by the bikie theme. Although it's there, these are not your usual drug running/morallu ambiguous motorcycle gang, instead they are a group of very interesting men who happen to ride bikes together. :)
