The book opens with present-day Luna 24 years old back in her hometown house sitting for her parents who are on vacation. Working her old job at the diner as she had in high school Matthew’s father who is the president of the bike club talks to her. When Mattew finds out he shows up at the dinner days later. He wants to work on getting back together with her since he broke up with her in high school. The thing is at the beginning you get the feeling that the people around him think she is the one who broke up with him and not the other way around.
The book and story are good with passion and suspense with the two of them working at getting back together and issues with the club along with Matthew working as a prospect, which makes everything work story-wise. Good characters as well.

This book was great and it was full of agnst, spice, steam, some danger and alot of chemistry. This was the first book that I read by this author and it wont be the last.

I love reading Sam Crescent books. When I see a new one, I have to read it. It drew me in and kept me turning the page waiting to see what happened next. I wasn't to sure about this book Mathew cheating on Luna and her forgiving him just was hard for me but over all this was a great book and I enjoyed. it.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this free arc. This story was wonderful and7 sweet. I really enjoyed it.

love me some Sam Crescent books. When i see one i have to read it. Love it so much. Each one just gets better and better. I am totally hooked on each story. Loved this one.

While I am new to this author and this series, I have read many MC series. Matthew is the son of the MC club president and is surprisingly still a prospect. He and Luna have history from when they were teenagers. Both seem immature but kind hearted. Matthew's devotion to Luna is sweet but rides the border of criminal stalking. This is a fast, sweet story of a second chance romance.

After breaking her heart in his teens Mathew is determined to win Luna back no matter the cost. Throw in some MC action, family interference and a wronged ex-lover and you’ve got enough action to keep your attention. I loved how once the hero got his head on straight he was all about the heroine. Great addition to this MC Series.

3.75 stars— MISTAKES is the eleventh instalment in Sam Crescent’s contemporary, adult TROJANS MC erotic, MC, romance series. This is club prospect, twenty four year old Matthew Bana, and waitress Luna Daniels’ second chance story line. MISTAKES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Matthew is the son of the Trojans MC president Duke Bana (CONTROL #1).

Told from third person perspective MISTAKES follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between twenty four year olds, Matthew Bana and Luna Daniels. Luna and Matthew were high school sweethearts but after professing his love to our story line heroine and the possibility of a pregnancy scare, Matthew walked away into the arms of someone else. Fast forward to present day, Luna has returned to town, having successfully graduated college but not finding a direction in life. House sitting for her parents, working part time at the local diner, Luna would come face to face with her past in the guise of Matthew Bana, now a prospect for his father’s club. What ensues is the rebuilding but struggling relationship between Matthew and Luna, and the potential fall-out as a new street drug is taking its’ toll on the town, and the Trojans MC are marked in a game of vengeance.

The relationship between Luna and Matthew is one of second chances. Matthew Bana screwed up years earlier, and has struggled in the wake of losing the only woman he would ever love. Stalking our heroine from afar, Matthew was always aware of Luna’s existence until her latest arrival back home. Desperate to reclaim the woman he loved, Matthew sets about to seduce our story line heroine, unaware that his father is about to place Luna in the direct line of fire. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including a number of previous couples and characters : Duke and his old lady Holly (Control #1), Pike and Mary (Betrayal #2), Brass and Eliza (Easy #7), Landon (Claimed #10), Winter aka Maya, as well as the mention of several other MC members: diner owner Mac Reynolds, and Luna’s parents. There is something in the works concerning Maya.

MISTAKES is a story of second chances; a rekindling romance destroyed by betrayal and fear. The fast paced premise is entertaining; the romance is passionate and hot; the characters are desperate and determined.

A big thank you to NetGalley and EverNight Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This was confusing to me, so many questions. Well I guess I should say that I don't really read MC books very often and know little about them. So for me this is just odd. Why the odd rituals? Why is Matthew still a pledge after 6 years? Why did she bother to come home? I just didn't feel the vibes between Luna and Matthew. This one just didn't do a thing for me. 2.5 stars

Quick Summary: A second chance with a biker match up

My Review: Mistakes by Sam Crescent was not for me. It read like a YA/T with NA themes. I kept having to look to see which group it was marketed toward, as the main characters seemed so immature. I really struggled with pushing toward the end of this one.

What I Liked:
- I loved the concept of a biker club.
- Second chance love stories will always rock.
- The closeness that Luna shared with her parents was sweet.
- The brotherhood concept between the MC was significant.
- The mystery associated with Preach was intriguing. (The brief mentions made me want to know him more.)
- The protective nature of the MC over the community was telling.
- The conflict scene that happened when Luna went back to retrieve her belongings was when the story really picked up for me.

What I Did Not Like:
- The maturity level (or lack thereof) of Luna and Matthew was irritating. Their reasoning for not being together (for Matthew) and for being together (for Luna) did not work for me.
- The disconnect associated with the past Mac when compared to the present Mac was hard to grasp. Something about it just didn't ring true. I felt like it was too much of a stretch.
- The Jekyll-Hyde switch that Luna's parents displayed toward Matthew was mind-boggling.
- The MC culture that celebrated a private moment with onlookers was a serious no!
- There seemed to be a side story with Maya, but it did not flow smoothly. It seemed oddly misplaced, in a way.

My Final Say: This story will likely appeal to many readers. For me, it was a no. Still, it was not horrid. If Preach is in the second book, then I may consider giving it a read.

Rating: 2/5

I voluntarily read this work through NetGalley. Thanks is extended to the publisher who provided access to a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC . I didnt realize this book was one of a very long series so i was a little lost but as a standalone this was ok. I was able to get the gist of what i missed out on. I did enjoy this couples story. I will admit, from what i can gather, this MC requires a witnessed coupling like these were Kings claiming a Virgin bride and i am glad to have missed out on that.

I really enjoyed reading this story. It drew me in and kept me turning the page waiting to see what happened next. There was a bit of suspense, there was tension, and the characters came alive on the page. I look forward to more in this series!.

Matthew and Luna have a complicated history. Luna was Matthew's tutor in high school and they had feelings for each other. Matthew loved Luna but was afraid of his feelings for her so he slept with other girls and would not commit to Luna. He broke her heart and after a pregnancy scare, Luna left town to go to college and Matthew realized that he needed to grow up if he ever had a chance of getting her back. I never like cheating in a book and Matthew did cheat on Luna when they were teenagers but those occurrences have already happened when we get to present day and Matthew is now prospecting for his patch in his father's MC and has stopped sleeping around and is just waiting for his chance to prove to Luna how much he loves her and that he is ready to commit. Luna loves Matthew but is not sure that she can trust her heart to him again. I really liked that Matthew did grovel and basically beg Luna for forgiveness. He also told his dad and friends that it was his fault on why they were not together and that he loved Luna and she was it for him. So for me the grovel was good, there was enough action to keep my attention and plenty of spicy times in between.

Luna has quit her job, broke up with her boyfriend, and moved back home. She gets her old job back at the diner. Matthew is a prospect with his father’s MC club and can’t wait to be patched in. Luna and Matthew have history together. When the were younger, Luna tutored Matthew and the got involved. There was a pregnancy scare and Matthew acted like a jackass. He always said he would get her back and now that she is in town, Matthew will do anything to get Luna to love him. Will she forgive Matthew, so they can live happily ever after?

Pretty good story but at first I thought they acted like children and I almost stopped reading but it got better. There is a little suspense but I knew who it was. There is sex, explicit. Bikers.
