BLURB:
The day I buried my dad, my world changed forever. Not because of his death, because of his life. Most people inherit money, property or even family heirlooms. Me? I inherited his secrets.
And his enemies.
Reuniting with Dad’s old biker friends was the start of my nightmare, but it also lead me to him. Dallas Milburn, my brother’s best friend and my childhood crush. He may look like a bad-ass biker, but I'm slowly learning that he's more than his image.
With a watcher on my tail, my brother out of sight, and Dallas in my bed, I’m a prime target for the Slight of Man.
Like the old adage says, never judge a book by its cover.
Well that was unexpected. I don’t think I was truly ready for what Brooke Lee published with Rag Doll. Don`t let the title fool you *I was one of them; a bit curious as to why it was titled as such* I figured it was about a child somewhere in the story line and people that surround that child. Boy was I ever in for a surprise.
It was nothing like that. It was intriguing and it was captivating. The story of yes, a child, but the events leading to knowing which child we`re looking at starts with the death of an estranged father. Now that, I was surprised. You`d think there would be a letter, a note or clues leading to said child, but really, it was the story of the father that made all the difference.
Let me start from the beginning: we’re at a funeral where Andi attends (she really doesn’t like him since the day he abandoned his family) and we find out that her father was holding back a huge secret that would change her life. But to make things a bit more interesting, we also find out that her father asked Dallas to keep an eye on her while she wasn`t aware of it. Let me tell you that a father that doesn`t care, doesn`t do that.
Finding out her father`s secret changes Andi`s outlook but doesn`t make things easier to digest – heck, I know I wouldn`t have been able to either had I been in her place.
I haven`t read any of the previous books by this author – actually, I read one book, I Am Shelby James, and loved it. This book, Rag Doll was nothing like it. I hadn`t read any of the previous books in this series nor did I feel like I really needed it to be able to understand what was going on with the characters – it really did feel like standalone within a series; which is something that I really love when it comes to my books.
There is a huge chance that I will be reading more from this author in the future since her books have really captivated me, even years later when I’ve had the huge opportunity to read her debut novel, I Am Shelby James.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

EXCERPT:
The door creaking open pulls me from my thoughts and I turn towards the sound. I expected a scantily clad waitress to be joining us with our supper order, but instead, it's the delectable Dallas carrying a full tray. With his every movement, my heart-beat ramps up, keeping in time with his heavy footfalls on the worn wooden floor. I can’t take my eyes off him. His dark hair hangs long over his shoulders, bouncing as he crosses the room. The arm bearing the weight of the food tray exposes the muscles straining against the thin fabric of his black T-shirt. But it’s his thick thighs that grab my attention. Wrapped in faded denim, every step he takes gives a hint at the muscles hidden beneath.
“Hey, Kick, thanks for grabbing the grub,” Bob says as Dallas places the tray on the table.
“No prob, Bob. Trina has a full house out there, so I told her I’d bring it back for you guys.” He angles toward me and his lips turn up into an absolutely panty melting grin. “Hey, Andi, hope you’re hungry,” he says in his slow southern drawl.
Hungry? Yeah, but not for the burger he has just delivered. Fuck me! This man is hot with a capital H. “Ah, yeah, um thanks, Dallas.” My eyes don’t quite meet his. He is the kind of hot that makes me almost uncomfortable. I know that if I allow him to look into my eyes he will surely see the naughty images playing in my mind.

About the author:
In school, teachers always told her “write what you know”, so that is what she did. At the not so tender age of forty-three, she started to write her first novel, I Am ShelbyJames (Beauty in the Darkness) and it is what she knows—emotions.
In her spare time—when she’s not writing—you can find Brooke cuddled on the couch with her husband of 20+ years, their fur babies, and a good (often naughty) eBook—unless of course she’s having cocktails with her Bestie at one of their favorite haunts.
