Rigger's Mistake is the 1st book in the Sons Of Erebus MC: Reno series by Misty Walker and if the rest of the series is like this one it's going to be awesome. This book is a dark stepbrother romance and it is full of triggers just like I look for. I really enjoy Misty's style of writing. She makes her characters so realistic like I could know them just like the main conflict in the book. It makes the story better that way for me. I like when the story I'm reading is something that could actually be happening somewhere in the world and Misty does that.
This book is about Rigger the VP of the Sons of Erebus MC and his step-sister Navy. When Rigger was 18 he was kicked out of his house by his abusive dad but thought he had a solid deal in place to protect Navy without him there. Fast forward 15 years and Navy is tired of the abuse from her step-father and wants to get her and her mom out. She finds out about a brothel opening up and gets a job there. That is until Rigger sees her since it turns out to be his brothel. This book was tense a lot of the time especially when hearing about the abuse she's gone through at the hands of Ray and doesn't want to tell Rigger. She doesn't want to see the pity in his eyes but of course, he finds out. When he does his rage is instant. He thought his deal with Ray was in place to protect Navy but she only thought he abandoned her. Through a lot of the book when Rigger is finding out the different things that Navy is hiding he thinks he gets the picture and then reminds himself of the deal he had in place to keep her safe. Rigger knows Ray better than anymore and he disappeared 15 years before without ever checking in to make sure Ray was keeping up his end. He should have known better. I wanted to shake him so many times like open your eyes. Navy, that girl had been through more than anyone her age should have. Especially with how young the abuse started for her. And her mom is nothing more than trash at this point. Rigger should have handled her like he handled everything else.
I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating because the spicy good parts didn't start until near the end of the book. I wanted to see more of Navy becoming a confident woman and taking her sexuality back like she needed. Other than that I don't have a bad thing to say about this book. It had everything that I look for in a dark MC romance. I can't wait to see which brother is up next. I'm hoping it's Lucky!
