Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is only for those over 18 due to the graphic content within.

Red’s story starts with a death, after living in a regimented home life and working hard the rest of the time, Red is desperate for a change and when the opportunity arises, he gives his two weeks notice in and says goodbye to the man who gave him a chance and a place to both learn a skill and keep his sanity. He leaves after a small sending off gathering which reminds him of what he is leaving behind, and for a moment or two wonders if he is doing the right thing, but soon he is all packed and ready to head south to escape to a warmer climate on his refurbished bike.

A couple of days pass in a haze of riding, stopping at diners and motels, as well as a bit of sightseeing dotted in for good measure, that is until he arrives in a small town and is captivated by the woman working in the local diner, there is just something about her that intrigues him and so he decides to stay in the town and see what happens. As he spends a bit more time with the lovely lady, he ends up inviting her to stay the night, which shows how compatible in bed they are, as well as being kindred spirits at heart and in the morning, she asks to tag along for the ride and Red agrees. Things aren’t all good though when after only a couple of days, she decides that the life isn’t for her and she wants to go home, Red isn’t impressed with the sudden change of heart and leaves her on the side of the road at another small town diner to make her own way back.

He regrets this almost immediately and wishes he knew how to make sure that she got home ok, but as the miles pass and he travels around and gets talking to a couple of old bikers, he takes some of their friendly advice and finally decides on a destination to travel to, however, when he finds that he only employment he can get is with an MC club, he is initially reluctant. As he sees and hears more about the MC and that they are on the straight and narrow, he decides to give the club a change and agrees to prospect for them and as time passes he becomes more comfortable with the idea and starts to enjoy this new stage in his life, but now and again, he still thinks of the woman he left behind, but will his future lie with the MC, even after the novelty of it has worn off and he realises .exactly what he has let himself in for, or will he decide that the MC isn’t for him after all? This is a story about finding where you belong and how sometimes it isn’t where you would expect it to be, as well as how the plans you start out in life don’t always end up being how you finish them with lots of action and entertainment throughout.
