Wicked (BLP MC Series Book 1)
Yates, “Wicked” Harris, and Jelai Williams were teenagers who were attracted to each other, but Jelai's father didn't like Yates. He told him to stay away from his daughter, and he told Jelai that Yates and the motorcycle Club are criminals. He told her so many bad things that she started to believe him. Jelai decides to sneak behind her parents' backs and date an older guy, Mario. Thinking she was grown, not knowing this man was going to pimip her out. Yales intervened and killed Mario. Though the judge deemed the homicide justifiable because he was defending Jelai, he said he used extreme force since he killed him with his hands. He was sentenced to fifteen years, but he only served ten.
This book was good. Wicked was not playing about his gal Jelai. Wicked said he would go back behind his gal, period 🤏🏿 Wicked was a gentleman, patient, protector, and nasty 😜 lol Jelai's father had a change of heart after Wicked protected his daughter; he was really thankful for what Wicked did. Jelai's godfather, Chris, I just knew he was a crook. He wanted Jelai to stay away from Wicked. So bad turns out cause he didn’t want her to find out what really happened. What shocked me was Hamilton. I didn't care for him at first, but I like how he came to Wicked, and his father told them the real reason why he was acting and moving the way he was: because that damn Chris was blackmailing them. Chris was an evil, nasty, jealous, and crazy person who betrayed his best friend, smh. Like when Jelai's mother apologized to Wicked for judging him because she didn't know anything about him, but going off what her husband told her at the time, not knowing Wicked and him didn't have any issues anymore after what he did for Jelai. Wicked had some good friends, Sonny and Cole, who held him down. It's hard to find friends like this these days. Jelai and Wicked, I love them togather Jelai didn’t play; she had to put a couple of Women in their place about her men. I like that the woman was trying to get at Wicked, but he turned all that shit down. He knew what he wanted, and he wasn't going to let anybody stop him from getting his gal, Jelai. #books #bookrecommendations #BookReview #blackauthors #book
Okay, so after diving headfirst into 'Wicked (BLP MC Series Book 1)', I just had to share more of my thoughts, especially since this book left such a strong impression! The original review only scratched the surface of what makes this story so compelling and, well, wicked in the best possible way. First off, let's talk about Yates, our very own 'Wicked' Harris. He's not just some guy; he's the embodiment of a protective, fierce, and undeniably intense leading man. The OCR mentioned the book cover, picturing a 'bearded man in a leather jacket' – that's Wicked to a T, perfectly capturing the rugged, dangerous, yet alluring vibe. His loyalty to Jelai is truly 'ride or die,' which is a phrase we see associated with the cover, and it absolutely rings true for his character. He's a man who sticks by his woman through thick and thin, no matter the cost. His actions, like intervening when Mario was pim*ping Jelai out, show a no-holds-barred approach to protecting those he loves. It's raw, it's intense, and it makes you root for him despite his violent tendencies. He's the kind of character whose love is so powerful, it makes you understand why 'my soul missed the fuck outta you, Jelai' is such a pivotal quote – it's pure, unadulterated passion and longing. And Jelai herself? She's no shrinking violet. The review mentions how she “didn’t play” and “had to put a couple of women in their place about her men.” This is a woman who can 'Ride Like a Girl,' holding her own in a tough world. Her journey from being misled by her father about Wicked to fully understanding his true character is a powerful arc. She’s strong, resilient, and fiercely devoted, a perfect match for Wicked. Their dynamic is what makes this MC romance so addictive. The emotional depth really surprised me. Beyond the immediate action and drama, the book delves into complex family dynamics and betrayals. Chris, Jelai's godfather, being the real villain was such a jaw-dropper! It adds layers of intrigue and shows that danger isn't just from rival gangs, but can come from within trusted circles. This kind of betrayal hits harder because it's personal, making the stakes even higher for Wicked and Jelai. What I found incredibly practical about this book, if you're a reader like me, is how it perfectly sets up the rest of the BLP MC Series. It introduces a world rich with characters like Sonny and Cole, Wicked's loyal friends, who embody the true spirit of brotherhood within the MC. If you're looking for a series where loyalty, fierce love, and high-stakes drama are at the forefront, 'Wicked' is your gateway. It's not just a romance; it's an immersive experience into a world where consequences are real, and love is fought for with every fiber of one's being. This book absolutely delivers on the gritty, intense promise of a true motorcycle club romance, making it a must-read for anyone craving a story that’s both thrilling and deeply emotional. I literally couldn't put it down!
Loved this book
