“For the first time in my life, I wanted to help someone without any thought to the cost. I wanted to help her.”

DARE TO RUN is the first book of Jen McLaughlin's new series, Sons of Steel Row. Unlike Jen's previous books, Dare to Run is a thrilling and gritty tale that follows an anti-hero in Lucas Donahue.

Lucas Donahue is ruthless, calculating, merciless, and cunning. A criminal. A killer. A gangster. He is the guy that you wouldn't want to cross with.Growing up in South Boston, the streets toughen him up and he knew his rank in the gang. But after being released from prison, Lucas Donahue discovers that someone is ready to eliminate him. Now with the target on his back Lucas has to be careful. There is no one Lucas can trust but himself. So when he sees the bartender being attacked in alley outside her bar, Lucas jumps in and saves her from another rival gang. He makes it known to them that she's his girl.

“Okay, yeah, I’d started a war over a woman. But what a woman she was . . . And she was all mine.”

Heidi Greene doesn't know what to make sense of Lucas and his controlling ways. She knows that she should stay away from him because he is dangerous and trouble but for the life of her, she can't stay away from him. Like a moth to a flame, Heidi embarks on dangerous road as she lays her heart on the line as she slowly lets Lucas in. And the same can be said for Lucas, as walls begins to crumble and this hard emotionless man begins to show a caring and loving side.

“This is a mistake, but, sweetheart, I'll make sure that I'm the best mistake you've ever made.”

Dare to Run was a great introduction to what I can tell will be an exciting, gritty, intense, and suspenseful series. I loved that Jen McLaughlin was able to weave a sexy gritty story line with such raw emotions and vulnerabilities. So if you are looking for a story that was fast paced, thrilling, and sinfully engrossing then this book is for you.
