The Black Stetson (Desert Phantoms MC)

The entire book is the same three things repeated over and over and over, how Baxtor wants revenge on Scratch (aka Sky) and Snake who betrayed him, how Scratch (aka Sky) was Billie (the heroine's) brother was no good and brought the awful Snake into their lives, and how Billie only cared about protecting Dominique, her little cousin from Snake.Those three things account for 80% of the book! There's literally only 20% of the book that had anything else in it, which were a couple of scenes between the hero Baxtor and the heroine Billie, and the couple of scenes between Baxtor and his friends Sully and Granite. Completely pointless and boring reading.Not only that, the author makes you read a scene of the character thinking something, then them thinking back about how they'd thought about it. Like when Baxtor accused Billie of knowing the Enforcers, of working for them, then just a page later he's telling the reader how he had thought she worked for the Enforcers and accused her of it, well yeah, we know, the author literally just made us read that scene, so there waa no need to tell the reader about it again! It was irritating as heck.The author made it even more repetitive to read because she would give you some partial information about something, then tell you the full thing literally a paragraph later. Like the scene of Baxtor thinking about the scar on his shoulder aching and reminding him about an MC club he was invited to visit, where he could 'find relief with their club girls'. As a reader I filled in the in blanks and knew he must have protected one of MC members by stepping in the way of a knife, which resulted in him getting the scar and the invite to the MC to use their club girls.And yes, that's exactly what the author goes on to tell you in the next paragraph, that he got the privilege of an invitation to the MC to 'use the girls for relief ' because he had protected the MC President from being shived by a knife, which caused his scar. Further making this mind numbingly and irritatingly repetitive.It really was bad. Don't read if you're looking for a story because there really is only 20% of a story here, the rest is the repeating of three thoughts. There are other issues with the writing, like plural phrases followed by a singular noun, or verb, and I really didn't like the third person style because it wasn't really third person. It's what's called not third person light, which isn't enjoyable and just tells you everything, instead of creating a story to read.The premise of the heroine staying was unbelievable from the very opening scene, when it suggests Snake has already hurt her sexually, and her fear of him doing it to Dom. So it's unbelievable she would stay, knowing he could hurt Dominique, who she claims is all she cares about.It turns out he hadn't actually hurt her like that, that he'd put a future claim on her but that doesn't hange anything, it still doesn't make sense why she'd stick around and not take Dominique with her. It also irritated me that the author gave such an inference in the opening scene which later wasn't actually true.I just really found this a complete waste of my time to read. Massively repetitive, 80% just repeating the same three thoughts from the H and h, and the writing style just tells you instead of creating a story to read, and what little story was here wasn't very believable. 2 stars.
