Deja Voss

Judas is the 1st book in the Indignant Few MC series by Deja Voss. It's a rekindled love story of a VP and his best friend's sister, the porn star. It was a good start to a new series I just wish the plot itself was more in-depth than it was. It skated over things instead of explaining it. It is told with a past and present which was nice. It helped to understand why these people grew up to be who they are now.
Judas is a troubled man with a good heart and rough edges. He's definitely the first biker I've read about that's a vegetarian that's for sure but the reason he is is sad and helped shape his life. Because of Judas good heart he gets taken advantage of and used by the people in his life who are supposed to love him and be there for him. Except his MC family including Athena who is his best friend and the president's sister. Growing up in the MC all she wanted to do was escape and she did when she was 17. She became a webcam star, got more plastic surgery than she can count, and built an empire. But she is an MC brat so she was running her own scams at the same time. When it was time to go she went home and saw Judas again. I wish I could say it was a fairytale reunion but man it wasn't. They both have so many issues with themselves they need to figure out before they can be anything to each other. But sometimes love does mean forever. And people will do anything for love.
I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating because the characters are just CRAZY! Judas is probably the sanest out of them all. And I really do hope Colt's situation comes back to bite him. Athena's family is just so dysfunctional it's enjoyable to read. I was pissed at parts, laughing, and just like WTF? throughout most of the book. I can't wait to read the next in the series. I need more dysfunction like this.… (mer)

Mani Gallo has been beaten and abused by her stepbrother and sister since their parents died seven years ago. She accepts their treatment to save her ill younger sister. Mani may be abused but she has an inner strength that has a reader rooting for her success.

David 'Lean' DeCico is the vice president of the Royal Bastards MC in Pittsburgh. When he and his father go for a meet at the Gallo mansion and he discovers her locked in a closet, malnurished and beaten he takes her out of there. He's a recovering addict and doesn't feel worthy of her but he will do everything to protect her and keep her safe.

While I loved these characters there were too many insta instances that pulled kept pulling me out of the story due to believability. The abuse Mani endured is horrible and I expected to see more PTSD problems as she recovered. This couple deserved time to simmer and grow. If they'd had that time I'm sure I would have given this a five.

This couple has their happily ever after but the author adds a bit more to give us a too be continued arc that will have to wait until the next book comes out in 2021."
