Wes has loved Callie since she was nine years old. He was always there for Callie, when she was trying to escape the chaos of her home, and the motorcycle club her dad was president of. Callie thought they were forever until Wes betrayed her seven years ago. Now she is back in town after her father died, and she has been willed the property the motorcycle club is on. Wes is now the president of the club and will do anything to stop Callie from selling. Nothing seems to make sense about her father's death and Wes is sure he didn't intend to leave the club to Callie. Now they must work together to figure out what her dad wanted. The more they spend time together, old feelings come back, but Callie cannot allow herself to fall for Wes, who didn't choose her first.
This was a great MC story. All Callie wanted was someone who chose and put her first. She feels Wes did not. I can see why some people may have hated Callie for being selfish, but I saw her as choosing herself. She was sick of everyone picking the club over her and when Wes did that to her she felt betrayed. Wes was so angry and mean when Callie came home, but you could tell he still loved and adored her. He wanted to do everything he could to protect her and has been pining for her since she left.
We were also introduced to some great side characters and I loved getting to know all of them, knowing there are stories about them to read.
There was a bit of miscommunication near the end of the story, which I could have done without, but it didn't wreck the entire book. In the end, with all Wes and Callie went through I enjoyed their story and I look forward to reading more Ashley Munoz books!
