Echo (Fallen Gargoyles MC #2)



I have (temporarily) caught up on the read-asap-arcs so...why not read something that's debuted from one of my favorite authors in the last couple of weeks? Here's Willow Thomas's "Echo." Its the second book in her Fallen Gargoyles MC series.

["Falling in love with a rival MC member wasn’t on my to-do list.

Echo
The Fallen Gargoyles are everything to me. Kenny took me in when I was at my lowest. It’s thanks to him I’m alive, making something of myself by going to community college. These people are my family.
When I’m not in class, losing myself in a book, or working construction, I’m doing my club duties as an enforcer.
I have zero time for a relationship. Even one with the gorgeous chatty guy who sits next to me in class.
I vow to not get close to him and drag him into my world.
But when I see him being kidnapped, it looks like the choice is taken out of my hands.

Joey
Growing up in a motorcycle club is all I’ve ever known and I hate it. My dad is the president of a one percent club which tells you everything about the kind of life he leads.
I don’t want it.
I want to get my degree and leave Oregon behind me. Until that happens I will look for bright spots wherever I can. Like the super hot guy in my Lit class.
Lessons are spent with me talking at him and with every grunt he graces me, I fall for him a little bit more.
When he saves me from a few of my dad’s enemies, I worry I’ve scared him off.
And then I find out who he really is."]

I love how green-flag-y and light these MC books are. Don’t get me wrong, I looooove me a dark romance, but the fact that the Fallen Gargoyles MC is all about helping battered and abused people (because the MC was originally all first responders) is glorious. Good for them. Loooove that for them.

I also love Joey and Echo. They were cute as hell, both so enamored with each other before the book even started.

However, I do things this book was a smidges rushed. If all felt good until the “oh shit” moment of realization that they were “rivals”. Then the I Love Yous were handed out and an epilogue. I love how angst free it was, but it is didn’t feel finished. 

Trigger Warnings: mentions of illegal activities, guns, and more.
