Synopsis

He’s her weapon of choice…

Psychologist Mia Richards wants revenge. Her new client, tattooed Cole “Shank” Shepherd, provides the perfect means. She just has to manipulate the felon-turned-informant into eliminating her husband’s killers—members of Cole’s rival motorcycle club. The first step, seducing Cole, is simple. As for walking away before she falls hard—it’s already too late.…

Dirty Eleven practically raised Cole, and he plans to double-cross the cops rather than sell them out. But smart, sexy Mia is an irresistible distraction. While she’s evaluating his mind, all he can think about is her body… until he discovers her true intentions. Walking a fine line between desire and betrayal, they’ll have to outrun her past, his enemies and the law for a love that’s dangerously real.

Michel’s Review

Wow, Riding Dirty was a complete surprise. I was expecting the typical type of biker romance that we have all come to love. Biker Romances that can either have the reader fully engaged or throwing the book across the room because of the ridiculous portrayal’s of the MC life. What Riding Dirty gave the readers was unique. Yes, the main character is a lifer in the Dirty Eleven MC. But this book did not revolve around the Dirty Eleven MC and their club activities. The Dirty Eleven MC played a crucial role in the plot but was not the main focus. Riding Dirty focused on the individual member himself and his life. This book portrayed how the Dirty Eleven MC molded Cole “Shank” Shephard from childhood to present day. We saw how he evolved from a wild teenager to an enforcer and officer in the Dirty Eleven. We saw how not only was he related to the president of the Dirty Eleven MC, but was also part of the brotherhood that embraced their own codes of living. We also saw how this kind of living has damaged Cole’s life and tarnished his soul. We also get to see how Cole evolves from a ruthless, lawless man to a man that wants a very different kind of life. After years of imprisonment, Cole wants a new life with intimacy, commitment, peace, and meaningful purpose. But once you are part of the brotherhood, the only ticket out is death or expulsion. Cole struggles with his new desires and turning his back on the only family he has ever loved. This time the choice has been taken out of his hands and has forced him to choose life or death. He is forced by the DA to become an informant against the Dirty Eleven or stay in prison and face death from the club’s enemies. Cole craves his freedom and wants to live.

Mia Richards is a forensic psychologist. For the past three years she has been living under an assumed identity and in the WITSEC program.   She survived a home invasion that resulted in the murder of her husband. She was presumed dead and is the only witness that can identify the perpetrators. The perpetrators are presumed to be a rival MC club to the Dirty Eleven. Mia has been waiting patiently to extract revenge for her husband’s death. The opportunity arises when she is assigned to counsel Cole Shephard for the DA. She sees this as an opportunity to extract this revenge by using Cole Shephard as her weapon. She knows he has a soft spot for women and an extreme hatred towards the White Lightening MC. She carefully plans to manipulate Cole through seduction to kill her husband’s murders.

Once the counseling sessions begin, everything changes. Mia begins to see Cole as an individual. He is a man with intelligence, compassion, quick wit, a true desire for redemption, and complete honesty. He owns his crimes, life of violence, and his personal shortcomings. She finds herself attracted to him after living emotionally numb for the past three years. She can no longer use Cole to extract her revenge.

Mia and Cole can’t deny their attraction to one another. They begin a secret relationship that is sensual, passionate, and erotic. They cling to one another while their world tumbles into complete chaos. Mia’s secrets will come out. Cole will have to make a choice he didn’t want to make. The DA will stop at nothing to bring down the White Lightening MC and Dirty Eleven MC. The Dirty Eleven secret dirty dealings will be exposed. All hell is about to break loose. Cole and Mia are right in the middle of it all.

This book was a dark erotic romance. There are quite a few sexually explicit scenes, including a F/F/M ménage scene. There is a lot of violence and explicit language.

The writing was flawless. The plot was well delivered with the right amount of twists and turns. The tension and suspense were thrilling. The focus on the main characters lives in their violent world made this book stand out in the Biker Romance sub genre. The sexual tension and bedroom scenes were sensual and daring. Riding Dirty was the perfect combination of Erotic Romance and Romantic Suspense.

I highly recommend Riding Dirty by Jill Sorenson. I am looking forward to the next book in The Dirty Eleven series. I hope it will be Ace’s story because his character is full of dark intrigue.
