Biker Club
by Kenny Blue
4 out of 5 Stars

Kenny Blue narrates Biker Club with a style that is descriptive and full of symbolism. His use of metaphors and other literary effects fit in perfectly with the scenes he constructs in this book. Beneath the surface, Blue digs deep into the culture of Motorcycle Clubs. However, this novel is accessible to any reader looking for a great story in which to sink.

If you are not familiar with the lifestyle, Biker Club will place you right in the middle of the daily excitement, drama and relationships that are unique to this culture. Biker Club is more than a book about people who ride crotch rockets. Blue has pulled together a rich cast of characters, each with their own set of realistic set of problems. The characters all have an interesting and complex stories that unravels as the novel progresses. Continue reading JoeyPinkney.com Book Review: Biker Club by Kenny Blue →

Wanda B. Campbell, author of Right Package Wrong Baggage
(Urban Christian/ Kengsington)

For five years, Pamela Roberts has balanced the demands of being a single mother and a devoted Christian. She unselfishly places the needs of her son, Matthew, above her own. Although she tries to convince everyone that she’s happy with Jesus alone, Matthew handpicks the perfect present for her—a husband. Everything about the man her son chooses is perfect, except for his past.

Micah Stevenson is excited when he learns the son of the woman he has been praying about wants him to join their family permanently. Believing Pamela Roberts is his soul mate sent from God, Micah pursues her. Once he is certain of her love for him, Micah reveals his dark history, shaking the foundation of the once loving and stable relationship. Trust is broken as judgments and prejudices threaten to deny the couple’s destiny.

Will the man he used to be prevent Pamela from loving Micah for the man he is now?
