Bikes, Toys, and Hot Boyz by Genesis Woods and Shantae
A Review By: KH
For sisters Diem, Drea, and Ophelia, coming from the same bloodline as Julian "Knight" Hart meant that the legacy of their motorcycle club, Hart's Angels, must continue to live up to his expectations. Although the sisters are as different as night and day, they were taught by their father that it's always family over everything.
Diem, the foul-mouthed tycoon and oldest of the three, can't seem to balance her multimillion-dollar business and personal life at the same time. Never one to back down from a challenge, her world is flipped upside down when the brother of a close friend unexpectedly catches her attention and has her questioning whether it's possible to have a romantic relationship while managing an already chaotic life.
Drea has always had a thing for hot boys with big toys, especially since she totes one of her own. Whether she's at her flower shop making beautiful floral arrangements or at the gun range perfecting her skills, this quiet storm never misses her mark. That is, until a mysterious and sexy ally comes into her place of business and knocks her off her square.
Ophelia loves only three things in this world: her family, her bikes, and the club. Nothing or nobody has ever come between them. She has a temper known to go from zero to 100 in a matter of seconds, but riding and restoring bikes help to ease her mind. The two pastimes easily turn into three when a restoration job goes from strictly business to extremely personal.
These ladies demand respect, not only for themselves, but for their club as well. When enemies start to surface, personalities will clash, and family motives will be questioned.
Will the pressure cause these Angels to fall, or will they rise to the occasion like they've done time and time again?
Review Notes:
Audio Book Publication Year: 2019
An installment in a Series? No
Narrator (s): Ida Belle
This trio of sisters find themselves at odds when a series of misfortunes fall upon them. All three of them face challenges forcing them to step out of the proverbial box.
The bond between the sisters was a refreshing change of pace for an urban drama. Loyalties may have been tested and even questioned but did not falter. When faced with tragedy, one thing the family did was rally around one another. Even though one of the antagonists is obvious, the reveal of their truly conniving nature proved to be a great twist.
Even though the story was not about Julian "Knight" Hart, I would've liked a little more back story on him as well as his marriage. The narrator's performance was good, although at times, it was hard to differentiate characters in the same chapters.
