Rough Justice

December 15, 2014
Most bikers are hobbyists or businessmen, but Army vet Jagger is that rare bird: a motorcycle-riding ruthless criminal. As president of the Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club, which dominates the illegal gun trade in Montana, it’s his responsibility to deliver violence and vigilante justice to protect his and the club’s interests. Personal relationships offer too many vulnerabilities to risk. But Jagger is surprised by the lengths he will go to dominate, protect, and win the heart of Arianne, whom he captures after a rival club burns down his headquarters. Tough Arianne may have been raised in the biker world, but all she wants is to escape to a civilian life, regardless of the protection and sex Jagger offers. Castille dials up the biker slang to 11, and at times it’s hard to root for a couple enmeshed in an illegal, misogynist lifestyle. Even Castille’s fans will wish that some of the lighter moments from her Redemption series had snuck into this rough, tough contemporary.

Castille (In Your Corner, 2014) begins a series on outlaw motorcycle clubs with the capture of Arianne Wilder by the Sinner's Tribe after her father's club, the Black Jacks, demolished the Sinner's clubhouse. Although he is attracted to her, Jagger Knight, the Sinner's president, ends up protecting her when he discovers the abuse she's been subjected to at home. Besides preparing to revenge the clubhouse incident, the Sinner's Tribe are also dealing with an internal struggle with an ousted biker turned spy, anticipated retribution from Arianne's father, and deception on the part of her brother. All Arianne wants to do is leave town and the biker culture she has been raised in, but she is as attracted to Jagger as he is to her. Filled with twists and turns, wild sex, fights, and motorcycles, this action-packed story will appeal to romantic-suspense readers who prefer bad-boy heroes, saucy heroines, and a touch of erotica in the bedroom.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
