Rough Justice by Sarah CastilleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Raised into a one of the most notorious biker clubs in Montana Arianne Hunter(aka Vexy) still never tasted freedom. Being the daughter of Viper the president of the Black Jacks really held no sway in the club, if anything she was just a pawn to barter with. Her only goal is to leave Conundrum, Montana: leave the club, leave her father and leave a past she can’t even escape in her dreams. Her plan went to hell in a hand basket the night her brother decided stealing guns from a rival biker club would give him the patches and acceptance he desperately needed. It seems he wanted his father’s approval more than keeping the promises made to his sister.
Jagger Knight is beyond pissed off! The Sinner’s clubhouse is burnt to the ground; the new relationship he was building with Mexican Cartel was on rocky ground now that half his guns were stolen. What else could go wrong? Oh and one of the clubs longtime member Axle constantly undermines his authority. Jagger needs to get is house in order; first order of business is to question the Jack left behind at the fire. If it is war the Jacks want then game on.
Only problem is the Jack in question is really a woman. The evidence and the sheer fact she is at the scene of the crime doesn’t help Arianne’s case. Being held hostage until they review the cameras is no hardship especially when Jagger himself is over seeing her care.
All of Jagger’s control and dominance is put to the test when Vexy stands toe to toe with him at every turn. Never backing down, proving her worth and helping smooth over some sticky situations shows her understanding of club politics. Making her a diamond in the rough.
This book was one nail biting moment snowballing into another. I loved the constant comparisons between the two clubs….they showed the strong similarities and the even stronger differences! Jagger and Arianne have the most complex non-relationship I have ever read about …lol The chemistry they share makes their trysts steamy and raw. Jagger’s dominance and loss of control over his desire for Arianne was beautifully laid out in the most open and vulnerable way. Which was refreshing, he wasn’t me Tarzan you Jane. I could say it was the way his character was crafted but it was more than that. They were written for each other, I guess that’s the only way to really say it!? The give and take that was shown throughout the story was like a well-honed machine. Symbiotic. I loved the tragic past Ari isn’t defined by; no she rises up like a phoenix and owns her shit. Then best of all comes out more confident, strong and makes no excuses. If you enjoy Dominant alpha men and women wild enough to ride them then this is the book for you!
