And many such things you do.”. And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.” And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.” But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.”. For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)— then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.

but she has got to be the dumbest, most simpleton chick ever. I mean she CONSTANTLY, through the entire book had me either like.Or.When it came to her 'whine fests' I was always thinking this.Trust me. She inspires no sympathy AT ALL for her plight.And none of the male leads inspired any love or hotness either.Everyone involved here has got some jacked up issues. How could they not? Considering what their lives have become. But the undertones of the story vs. The characters & their thoughts/reactions, didn't mesh well for me.
Mainly cos one of the main people I'm supposed to sympathize with, the heroine, I don't. And then also, even though this is a tough, heart wrenching story, I did not feel the intensity or heart wrenching things I should have been feeling while reading it.So basically this story is something that couldn't go beyond the surface for me. The premise/story is intense, the circumstances, happenings, characters' plights, all of it, is heart breaking.
But none of these emotions were coming through, even though I clearly saw it playing out. There was a huge disconnect here.This story wanted to be poignant, deep, emotional, heart wrenching & all that, but unfortunately it just read as a simple, half ass attempt at being all of these things. Nothing felt authentic or deep. The only true emotion this story evoked was irritation, anger, and 'I wish someone would just push you off a cliff and put me out of my misery' reaction.The HEA was so superficial, rushed & glossed over. The heroine didn't even deserve this weak ass HEA though, IMO.The Structure of the story and how things are revealed & why was all over the place as well.
You're reading about the present, and you literally wind up in the past going into the very next sentence/paragraph. And if you're just skimming, this could seriously throw you off and confuse you. Many things that happen in the beginning have no bearing on what occurs in the middle or end, so really alot of things were just pointless.Basically this entire book read like a rough draft. A rough draft that has all the dark, shock factor occurrences etc.

Taken from every other MC novel, Contemporary Romance Alpha male, and was just thrown into what you have here. And instead of focusing on the characters and what makes them tick, what would warrant someone to sympathize with them & their issues, all the focus was just on the shock factor events that occur.
And even those fell short. Way short.Annnnnd this is NOT a hot novel at all. It has sex in it. But the sex is such a 'Yawn' I would have preferred that the attempt was not even made for those moments. Really should have just went with a fade to black scene.So. You already know what I'm going to say, right?No.
I would not recommend this read. Keep your money & your time. I grabbed this book up because of the blurb and the fact that is was touted as an MC book. That is not what this book is in my opinion. Sure, there is an MC eluded to in the background but, mostly what this book is about is War and the devastating effects that it has on people's lives. I actually had a hard time finishing it.it was painful to read and depressing as hell, I almost DNF.Some readers will enjoy what this story has to offer.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it,Okay so I gave this a 2 start let me tell you why. But first be aware there are alot of spoilers.The reasons why I didn't like it:1) It was short. I know the author said there will be more books to come however this one was really short could have been longer or even broke into two longer full books.2) It was very confusing the first half of the book. For examples there was a chapter where Grace and Landon just finished having sex and he gets up to the bathroom and gets ready to leave and Okay so I gave this a 2 start let me tell you why.

For examples there was a chapter where Grace and Landon just finished having sex and he gets up to the bathroom and gets ready to leave and Grace made a comment about how the kids will be up soon so he needs to leave quickly. However the way the rest of the book goes doesn't sound like they only hooked up a few times and none of those times were at her places with the kids in the same house.3) The abuse was a big thing for me. I'm sorry I know it happens all the time but she was making excuses for Miller and saying with him.4) The way Miller killed himself. Just didn't add up to me. He goes from kicking the shit out of his wife and not caring about anything to 'I'll fix this' and goes to his room and kills himself with the kids in the house.
Really?5)There wasn't much talk or details about the MC at all. For it being an MC book I thought we would have more details about the club and the background about it. From what I got the Sons only had a handful of members and they didn't do much of anything but hangout in their bar.The reasons why I did like it:1) I did like the ending. Landon and Grade getting married and having a kid together.Overall it was an okay book.
I would not recommend it to others unless they are looking for something to read in a day while waiting for an other book to come out. It's mostly just a filler for me while waiting for other books to come out.Big Red's Book Talk. Sons of War MC isnt like any MC book youve ever read, which in this case comes in at a mix bag of likes and dislikes for me. To me this wasnt really an MC story, but more about a former soldier dealing with PTSD while being in a MC.
I think this story would be classified as a dark romance rather than a MC romance since the club itself was such a minor plot point to the story.The story itself was heartbreaking and emotional charged because of the nature of his PTSD and the outcomes of hisSons of War MC isn’t like any MC book you’ve ever read, which in this case comes in at a mix bag of likes and dislikes for me.

I think this story would be classified as a dark romance rather than a MC romance since the club itself was such a minor plot point to the story.The story itself was heartbreaking and emotional charged because of the nature of his PTSD and the outcomes of his actions as well as the romantic temptation of two former childhood lovers being reuniting in an unlikely way.
Landon and Grace’s former relationship crumbles while he’s serving in the military. When he returns home, he finds her new relationship in his life both hurtful yet good. He knows with her husband’s PTSD issues and involvement in his MC club that he can’t caste her aside because of his lingering feelings.
Landon by far is the best character of the book.Grace on the other hand. I don’t really even know where to start with her. Her attitude at as a whole grated on my nerves, but that’s nothing compared to her actions at the end of the book. She’s just not a well-developed character that seems to run the gambit of goody girl, bad girl, and bat shit crazy girl. Her downward spiral seems to be a means to an end with her relationship with Landon.Like I mentioned above, the story itself was a good idea, but I feel as if it shouldn’t have been in the MC romance category. I think with a little editing and re-thinking of some of the key plot points that this could actually be a decent book.
Meh, I'm not really sure what was going in this book. One second Landon's giving his son a cut, and the next he having sex with Grace talking about Miller coming home, and that just the prologue. I thought the plot was interesting high school sweethearts separated by war, but really there was entirely too much about Landon time in the Marines and nothing to do with the MC. Confusing yes. Like did they just start this MC because they were the only ones in it? But wait Nash's dad handed down the Meh, I'm not really sure what was going in this book.

But wait Nash's dad handed down the President's patch, so was he like the lone wolf of his club. FOR REAL, how is Landon going to sit by and watch Grace get hooked on every drug imaginable just because he doesn't want to be judged for having a relationship with his brother's wife. I just felt like the author has so many interesting ideas she just threw them all in one book. It should've been longer to help the story flow better. Oh, and wait why did her kids call him Uncle Landon from what I got they haven't seen each other in 8 years. He didn't even know she had a family, much less that it was his brother's family. Anyways, I liked it okay, but I wouldn't recommend unless you were just trying to find something to read on kindle unlimited.
