Synopsis

It’s finally my time.

Time to escape from my mother, her crazy antics and questionable morals. I’m getting the heck out of Dodge, leaving the trailer park, to make something of myself. Everything was fine until I walked into The Unacceptables’ bar and met Abel Hellock. With his gorgeous muscles, tattoos, motorcycle and perfect smile, my knees quaked. My life was about to be sucked back into the seedy underbelly I fought so desperately to climb out of.

Everything was fine until I met my step-brother for the first time.

Review

This is my third book by Kristen Hope Mazzola and still she has not let me know. a quick and easy read it was the perfect way to pass a lazy afternoon. While I have read several step-brother books and several MC books Unacceptable was very different than most in those categories. The heart of those differences falls to the male character. Gruff and rugged, Abel is all man and all alpha but unlike many step and MC books what he is not is mean. He is super protective but still a loving and compassionate man when it comes to Cricket.

Cricket is running from a past she would like to forget, a former stripper who lived with her dead beat mom in a trailer park, Cricket figures there is no where to go but up so she searches out the dad who loved her but still left her. She needs answers and closure. But while looking for her dad she can’t help but fall for Abel, the sexy MC VP and bar owner. Abel is everything she never thought she would have in a man, including being the step-brother she never knew she had. But once she finds out she might be too deep in this to let him go.

Unacceptable was vastly different yet no less enjoyable than the other books by the author I have read. The only thing I could have asked for more would be that I would have loved if it was a bit longer. I LOVED Abel and really would have enjoyed getting more out of both him and them as a couple. Still, the story was complete and never  felt rushed or cut off so for those who are looking for a hot low angst story with a gritty and slightly taboo twist this one is perfect for you.
