Review, Excerpt and Giveaway: Deadly Seduction (The Rough Riders #1) by Selene Chardou

Synopsis

Welcome to Northern Nevada. The scenery is idyllic, the people are friendly and three Motorcycle Clubs rule the tri-city area between Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe with an iron fist. Gisela wasn’t introduced to the thug life, she was born into it. The daughter of an American gangster, her life has been carefully orchestrated with private education, a law degree and now a respectable law firm she co-founded with Kyra Hughes, her best friend. Life is good until her high school sweetheart walks through the door of Jackson & Hughes and decides to turn her world upside down. Cillian is not an average criminal, he was brought up in the Lucifer’s Saints MC and is now V.P. of a powerful criminal enterprise. He’s no stranger to mayhem yet only one woman has ever made him feel worthy of redemption. He’s a survivor and luck has always been on his side until he is arrested and charged with the murder of an undercover ATF agent. His complicated life becomes more than he can handle when he is forced to face the only woman who has ever turned him inside out. An unconventional love story, unfinished business between these two passionate people—physical, emotional and professional—will spark a fuse that will leave a path of death and destruction in its wake.

Review

I love a good MC book so I jumped at the chance to read Deadly Seduction. The synopsis sounded so promising! We meet Cillian and Gisela, who had a passionate teenage romance that resulted in the birth of a child when Gisela was only 16 years old. Flash forward years later and Gisela is now a Harvard-educated attorney and Cillian is VP of the family’s MC. He is also married to someone else and involved in some serious criminal enterprises. When Gisela agrees to defend him in a criminal case, sparks fly and she doesn’t think she can stay away from him again.

The storyline is very fast-paced and engaging, and the sex scenes are totally hot. There are a lot of characters in Selene Chardou’s world and it is sometimes hard to keep them all straight! I loved the setting and the Irish background of some of the main characters. I had a tiny issue with some of the legal stuff and Gisela’s reaction to some of Cillian’s behavior (no spoilers). Overall, this is an engaging MC story with lots of steam and very strong characters, which made for a fairly quick and action-packed read.

Excerpt

Now, I found myself in the same position with Cillian, and I couldn’t do it again. Not only because of Brianna but because I was in love with the fucking guy.

“Leave Brianna and we’ll pick up this conversation at another time. Until that happens…I don’t think I can do this.” My voice was small but firm.

He crawled over my body so he could face me. “Now you’re not playing fair. I told you I would leave her and I will. You can’t deny me—I won’t be able to do this without knowing you’re by my side.”

“And I will be when that Irish bitch is out of your life.” I gritted my teeth together. “You left me in a foreign country for her, and drop kicked my ass outta your life. Now, I’m supposed to drop everything because you give me a few empty promises after mind blowing sex? I want to believe you but we’ve got too damn much history between us, babe. I need to see some actions before I commit to anything.”

Cillian smiled wryly. “Always the fucking attorney. Fine, I’ll show you actions but you better keep up your end of the bargain.”

I turned over onto my side away from him. “Don’t worry about me. Unlike you, I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”
