Frisco by Tijan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tall. Muscled. Tattooed.
Shane King was seriously hot, and seriously not a good guy.
He went by the name Ghost with his motorcycle club, and he was now their national vice president.When Shane and his club arrived in town, they began doing favors for my family.
I didn’t know why. I didn’t want to know.
Favors came with strings attached. I didn’t want strings attaching me to the Red Demons.Shane was a different beast, though.
I should steer clear of him, except I couldn’t.
He was everywhere, and he always looked like he wanted to tie me up in all sorts of strings.A part of me wanted to let him.
A part of me yearned to let him.
But no.Shane might act like the hero, but he wasn’t.
He was the villain.
And I was about to learn that the strings that came with Shane…
…they would be my unraveling.Frisco

The heroine: Kali – she grew up in a small town called Friendly, Indiana. Her mother gave birth to her in the alley behind a hardware store. She has a younger brother Connor nicknamed Gloves, whom she loves but is a magnet for trouble, and a younger sister Claudia, but they have different fathers. Her father is an attorney in Chicago and her mother owns a dive bar in Friendly. When Kali caught her husband in their bed with three other women, she divorced him and moved back to friendly to rent the basement apartment from her two best friends. She now works at the Friendly grocery store, where she worked through high school and college.
The Hero: Shane King (a.k.a. Ghost) – he grew up in Friendly and was a foster kid in the house next door to Kali. Though he didn’t really know her very well then, he did have a thing for her, and he was good friends with her brother and still is. He is the national vice president of the Red Demons motorcycle club and is back in Friendly for a few weeks to pay back a debt to his old friend Gloves who saved some of the Red Demons in prison. He wants to get Gloves’ family under the clubs’ thumb for a mysterious reason, something big they want Gloves to do for them. He loves his club; he joined after three tours overseas and his club was his family.
The Story: When a couple of the Red Demons get in an all-out fight in the soup aisle of the grocery store, Kali is the one who has to settle things down before it gets out of hand. The two fighters were beating each other with soup cans, and it was downright bloody, but Kali knows that calling the police on the one-percenters isn’t a good idea. When she finally gets the two to stop fighting, she calls their VP to come and pick them up outside of the store. Later that night Shane King comes back to the store when Kali is alone and tells her why he is really in town.
Kali had a crush on Shane King back in high school before he moved away. Though he didn’t really know she existed. But now he sees that she is all woman and is attracted to her. He is not sure he wants to take care of her the way his president might want him to. When an issue comes up at the Red Demons Frisco charter, he is sent to check it out and handle the situation. When Kali’s sister follows the Demons to California, Kali and her friends take a road trip to go get her.
The world building and character development were terrific. I really liked both main characters, there was a ton of chemistry between Kali and Shane. There were a bunch of great supporting characters as well. Kali’s gay best friend Harper was hilarious, and her other best friend Allie was interesting and funny. There were a bunch of the Red Demons that were terrific, like Machete and Boise. And Tijan always seems to have some crossovers to her other books. In this one, they stayed in Fallen Crest, which was a town over from Frisco. The Red Demons were also starting to make an alliance with the Bennett Mafia.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Zara Eden and Jacob Morgan. Jacob Morgan is one of my favorite narrators, he has a nice deep voice and sounds very natural, not like he is reading. Zara Eden also did a great job. She has a clear, feminine voice that is soft and not at all annoying like some narrators.
