Nikki – Being tortured and watching the father of my child die has scarred me. There are deep wounds etched into my soul that no one can possibly understand. They think I loved him, that I’m mourning, but I’m not. The horror of that day lurks in the shadows of my mind, and I can’t seem to break free. Not until Ashes drags me to my first ultrasound and I see my son for the first time. I owe it to … to him to do better, but it’s too late. I’ve lost my job, and I’m losing my apartment. I should have known Ashes would swoop in like a knight on his shining Harley to save the day.
Ashes – It’s my fault that Nikki lost Bane, that their kid will grow up without a dad. My cousin is responsible for what happened to them, and I can’t undo that pain. So instead, I take care of Nikki the best I can while trying to maintain some distance between us. I’ve loved her for years, but I can never tell her. Renegade, the Road Captain for my club and her brother, would kill me if he knew that Nikki plagues my thoughts day and night. I never counted on taking her home with me, or getting caught in the shower with her. But our happy-ever-after wasn’t quite in reach. When a series of events nearly tears us apart, I vow that I’ll do whatever it takes to get back to her. It never occurred to me that she’d be the one to save me.

Nicely done Author Harley Wylde, love Ashes Nd Nikki. I remember when I read about them in book 6, I had this thought going through my head that those two definitely belong together. Chemistry is off the chart with them, nice to know a lady will fight for her man, amazing read and a definite recommendation from me.
Ashes and Nikki are amazing! They are so freaking cute together. She’s having a rough time after everything she witnessed during her kidnapping and Ashes is the only one in the club who really sees it and tries to help her. The story is good like the previous books in the series. My only complaint was the rest of the club I was really wondering where the guys were we had come to know from previous books went because the officers who showed up in Ashes left me seriously disappointed in my guys.
I LOVE THIS SERIES!
This is Ashes and Nikki’s story. Ashes is a gorgeous bad@ss sweetheart of a man who has wanted Nikki since the first time he saw her. He feels guilty about Nikki being assaulted and Bane being killed because his cousin betrayed him and the club. Nikki is Renegade’s sister but Renegade has always kept his distance from her because he doesn’t want her around the clubhouse or to dat his club brother’s. Nikki is a really sweet beautiful woman but since the death of her and Renegade’s parents she has never felt loved. She knows her brother loves her but he doesn’t know her even though he has managed to chase off any guys that she dates. Her last boyfriend Chad was an idiot he treated her badly. in the last book Renegade she met Bane while he was a Prospect for the Devil’s Boneyard MC. She had sex with him on their first date but she knew she felt no romantic feelings for him it was just the closeness she craved. Then she finds out she’s pregnant and not long after she and Bane are taken and assaulted, she survived but Bane didn’t. She takes his death worse than anyone knows. She witnessed him being tortured and it terrorizes her sending her into a deep depression and her life starts to fall apart. Ashes has been helping her but he doesn’t know how bad it really is. When he finds out he takes her to his house at the clubhouse compound and her brother loses it. When he finds out what’s been going on he’s fit to be tied. He’s been so preoccupied wth his own life he didn’t notice how bad his own sister and only living relative was suffering. He gets infuriated with himself and Ashes for being there instead of him. Ashes loves having Nikki close by but wishes thing were different between them. He loves everything about her and her baby. When things in the club start to get intense I was just sitting with my mouth open thinking Nooo! What happens next had me crying for poor Nikki and Ashes. Nikki surprises us all when she steps up. I highly recommend this series to everyone!
Love love love Ashes
Each book gets better and better. The story of Ashes and Nikki just hits all my emotions.Ashes sees Nik struggling and he steps in to save her from herself. I love Renegade almost as much as I love Torch from the Dixie Dealers but it should have been him to get his butt kick for being a douchebag to his sister. He wasn’t there when she needed him the most and was pissed off she one of his club brother’s was even knowing she is off limits!
This was a heart pounding, emotional, thrilling, and sweet ride to go on with Nikki and Ashes. I enjoyed every single moment of this book.
If you’ve been following this series of Harley’s, you’ll recognize Nikki from Havoc and Renegade’s stories. Remember, Nikki going shopping with Havoc and Renegade to buy items for Jordan? If not, you need to buy Havoc’s book and read it. Anyways, Nikki and Ashes’ story is now being told. As we’ve found her before, Nikki is usually extremely happy, outgoing, and positive. Unfortunately, this isn’t the Nikki of earlier times. Neither is Ashes.
Nikki goes through a trauma that happened during Renegade’s book and Ashes feels guilty and blames himself for what happened. In this book, you see what happens from the aftermath. Nikki is pregnant and has pretty much lived a zombie life since watching her baby daddy being tortured and killed. The emotional upheaval for both characters is real. What happens when circumstances bring them together? How will the club react? How will Renegade react? Let me just say: I really felt someone needed to lay the smackdown on a certain Officer of the club.
If you’re looking for a fun and easy read, this is the book for you. It’s fast paced and filled with just enough drama to keep it very interesting. Steamy as well. Well done, Harley! Another fantastic read!
