Looking for a walk on the wild side, Annabel Percy, the daughter of a powerful politician, starts dating a biker she knows is completely wrong for her. But she finds herself living a nightmare when she’s kidnapped and transported into a hell on earth she never could have imagined.
Born and bred into the Hells Raiders MC, Nathaniel “Reverend” Malloy lives and dies for his brothers. But when he becomes the unexpected savior of a rival club’s captive, Rev makes it his personal mission to nurse Annabel back to health—and to shelter her from the nightmares that torment her.
Once Annabel heals, she’s stunned to realize she is falling for the seductive man who saved her. Faced with their impossible attraction, can she accept the life he leads, or will Rev walk away from the only life he’s ever known for the woman he was never supposed to love?

A few months ago I read Vicious Cycle, but it didn’t work well for me . . . Nevertheless, I managed to develop a crush on Rev—the lead male character of this second instalment—so I knew it was just a matter of time before I’d pick this book up. And yes, there’s also the fact I like to give authors a second chance, so here I am!

With a dangerous mission, adrenaline rushing, an emotional roller-coaster, and life and death threats, there’s definitely a lot going on to keep the reader turning the pages. I liked the pace better than the first instalment, and I appreciated the way the relationship between the main characters developed. Of course, the circumstances they meet are of the worst variety, so it seems only reasonable to take things a step at a time even though, with their very different backgrounds, they shouldn’t even think an attachment of any sort is possible. Still, Rev is truly the only one who can help Annabel, and part of the reason is because of a shocking secret that has been haunting him for a very long time . . .

Are you into bikers? Do you like broken characters who try to find the road to redemption? Then look no further and let Rev take you for a ride, he will make your heart gallop at full speed.
