She did have a great development so hurrah to that. But considering what she’d gone through and still going through, you’ll understand her just letting others, Dex and her brother Son, sometimes make the decision for her. It’s not that she’s lame, she’s not just a badass.

She’s not a complete doormat, she was just timid and well, she’s just like the strongest of the heroines I’ve read.

I won’t blame that to Dex entirely, because really my biggest complain in this book why I rated it low was Iris. With Dex, I love him from the start, my only complain was that sometimes he became too bossy that Iris appear like no backbone at all. Though I wouldn’t have mind if the story only revolves in them just being boss and employee. I’ve always loved boss-employee romance especially if the boss is a swoon biker who have tattoos (he owns a tattoo shop, duh?) and call the heroine ‘ babe’. I like the way Zapata threw some suspense in the story, which really helped the plot move in an amazing pace and turn the boss-employee relationship between Dex and Iris into the next level in a realistic way. hehe.Īlthough I found some things I dislike a bit in ‘Under Locke’, it still has plenty of amazing things to offer. it’s addictive.” Not that I’ve ever had drugs before, but I’ve tasted coffee, and that’s kinda same thing. Translate my first paragraph as “Mariana’s Zapata’s writing is as good as drugs. Low rating yet I want to read more from Mariana Zapata.

And that’s saying a lot considering I rated this book only 3.5. Now my hangover was worse and I want to read more from this author. Last week when I read The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, I was left with a strong book hangover, I knew the only way to get rid of it is to read another book written by this author. He’s rude, impatient and doesn’t know how to tell time.Īnd the last thing they ever expected was each other.īut it was either the strip club or the tattoo shop. Except Dex Locke might just be the biggest jerk she’s ever met. I’d gotten over epic heartbreak before, one more wouldn’t kill me.Īfter moving to Austin following six months of unemployment back home, Iris Taylor knows she should be glad to have landed a job so quickly… even if the business is owned by a member of the same motorcycle club her estranged father used to belong to. Worst case scenario if things turned awkward between us, I could go somewhere else. But he was everything that gripped me, both the good and the bad. He was my boss, my brother’s friend, a Widower, an ex-felon, and a man I’d seen casually with a handful of women.
