About this listen
Not everything is roses, chocolates, and vibrators in Zara's life...until Talon, Hawks MC president, wants to claim her as his.
Zara Edgingway is a 26-year-old secretary. She has a daughter who apparently knows it all and a best friend who could possibly have the mouth of Satan, but she's been with her through hell and back. Then there's the hunk-a-licious biker neighbor finally showing interest in her.
If only she wasn't about to face her next obstacle in life, the one she ran from six years ago: her ex-husband.
Talon Marcus is the president of the Hawks Motorcycle Club. For two years he's had his eye on the quiet, reclusive, yet sassy neighbor Zara. Finally, he has the chance to claim her as his woman. Just when her past catches up with her, she'll need not only his protection but help from his biker brothers.
Now, if only she'd stop fighting him along the way.

DNF will read on Kindle
I was enjoying the story but the female narrator was slow and robotic and not suited for an MC romance. Will go and finish it on Kindle.

Beyond dreadful!
Wanted to like this book, such a refreshing change for book to not be set USA or even UK, but even though story line could have been ok, was depicted in a ridiculous manner! Couldn’t bear any more, didn’t make it through chpt 4 even though was free!! AVOID!

Absolutely dreadful narration
This book was included (thank goodness) glad I didn’t waste a credit.
It sounded quite good, but I didn’t make it to the end of the first chapter because I had totally tuned out. The narration was dreadful. The woman had quite a pleasant voice, but kept missing her mark. She sounded incredibly inexperienced at narration, and was slow and weirdly robotic. It ruined it for me.
My advice……..give it a miss, and save your credits/money for something better.

Ok story
Ok story but had parts that weren’t that believable and you can easily tell it’s a first book and the author has some more development to do

Poor female narrator
Story was so so but not helped by painful stuttery narration. Almost gave up on it.

DNF
I recently listened to the audiobook of "Holding Out" by Lila Rose, the first installment of the Hawks MC Club series, and unfortunately, I found it lacking in several areas. One of the most glaring issues was the overuse of the nickname "Kitten" for the main character, Zara. While initially endearing, its repetitive use quickly became grating and contributed to a sense of monotony in the dialogue.
Moreover, the character development—or lack thereof—was a significant downside for me. Both main characters, Zara and Talon, seemed to remain stagnant throughout the narrative. Despite the dramatic events and supposed emotional turmoil they faced, there was little evolution in their personalities or behaviors. This lack of growth made it challenging to connect with or invest in their journey.
Additionally, the audiobook's narrative style didn't help in elevating the material. The narrator's delivery, while clear, did not sufficiently differentiate between the characters, which sometimes made the dialogue hard to follow. This was particularly disappointing during key moments that should have been impactful.
Overall, while the premise of "Holding Out" had potential, the execution in the audiobook format left much to be desired. The repetitive language and shallow character arcs made it a less enjoyable listen. Fans of motorcycle club romances might find some elements to appreciate, but those looking for depth in characterization might be underwhelmed.

OMG painful!!!
While I am sure that the story line is good, I couldn’t make it past chapter one with the female narrator. She is slow and mechanical which severely distracts from the story. Will find on kindle and read it instead. Glad I didn’t have to use a credit on this book!
