Any time you read a book based on the lives of people in a Motorcycle Club, there are some things you should expect.
1) Lots of infidelity.
2) Lots of language.
3) Lots of violence.
4) All the wives are called "old ladies".
It all is really fascinating to me. But let's face it...I'm a wienie, so I'm not heading out to the local biker bar any time soon. I get to learn what actually goes on inside an MC without leaving the comfort of my middle class, drug and violence free home.
What I really like about my new Diamond, Selene Chardou's take on Motorcycle Clubs in her "Rough Riders MC" series, is that she goes beyond just the intriguing stories of day to day life. She really digs into the emotions behind those who live it.
What if someone who was born into this life, didn't really want it? How can someone forgive himself for things he's done, when there is no way to not do them again? Will he end up ruining his own life over it? Or will he inadvertently take down everyone around him as well?
Throughout the series, Ms. Chardou tackles the inner demons the characters face on a daily basis. We really get to feel what it must be like to live a life that will most likely lead to an early grave. It's sad and scary and exhilarating, all at the same time.
I read the first two in the series, "Ride to Temptation" and "Ride to Chaos" in a 36 hour stretch. I just couldn't put them down! The third installment, "Ride to Vengeance" is scheduled to release on Wednesday. According to Ms. Chardou, it's a bit darker than the first two. But she has lofty plans for this series, including introducing us to the inner workings of rival MC's. So she has lots of times to play with the dark side of an illegal lifestyle.
