I love MC books so I couldn’t pass reading this one. Vicious cycle has a strong beginning.
Willow’s terror felt real to me and it was a sure way to endear me to the little girl.
Deacon was all alpha, no messing around with him or his brothers.
Alex was smart and sassy. Her dedication to Willow as a teacher was impressive.
I liked that the author spaced their relationship to give it a more realistic feeling, no insta-love. It felt natural.
The other MC guys were likable, especially Rev and Bishop. Archer, the prospect was also a good addition.
My main issue involves the conflict and its resolution. I didn’t think it was realistic. It felt too simple and easy.
Overall Vicious Cycle had an interesting storyline.
Rev is next!
“My head tells me to be leery of you. That I shouldn’t want to be with an outlaw like you. But no matter how hard I try to talk myself out of my feelings for you, my heart and body rage and riot for you.”
