Damaged picks up where Danger Zone left off. I was engrossed in the story from beginning to end. Damaged is brimming with a balance of romance, action, and angst. Sophie and Dax are captivating characters who reek of sexual chemistry. The story is amazingly well-written and paced. I enjoyed it immensely. There is absolutely no way you can read this and not grab up the sequel, Destroyed.
I couldn’t wait to read this book after reading Danger Zone, (the prequel) and Damaged certainly did not disappoint. This book had action, surprises, humour,love and plenty of hot chemistry between Sophie & Dax. This story ended on a cliffhanger, and I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book as a must read.
Intense Danger.
This story in the series is deep. It involves feelings, trauma, and suppressed emotions from childhood to current abuse of all types. Some of the events may cause triggers to the reader so please exercise caution when reading this. There is some mild BDSM and violence that is loosely mentioned. It is a good story about Sophie and Dax. The ending will leave you surprised.
Destroyed
By Bane Hunter
Main Characters: Sophie and Dax
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 out of 5 stars
Good story. I do not usually read MC books but I enjoyed this one. This is a continuation of the first book Damaged. Dax would do anything for Sophie including killing. This book as some very erotic sex scenes. I was so rooting for Damien to get his whether it was by Sophie, Vixen, or Dax. And Vixen is one red hot lady. Looking forward to reading more about her. Can’t wait to read more by Bane Hunter.
Read the prequel “Danger Zone” so you have the background!
Bane Hunter’s debut book drew me in because of his characters complexities.
I love how the MCs are all entwined and how the author’s explanations pull you in. And the sexiness doesn’t hurt.
This is a cliffhanger…
Damaged – Bane Hunter
Try new genres I tell myself, so this past week I did just that. I decided to read an MC book and I have to say I had no problem getting into it and I now need to read book two when it comes out. This story can’t end here!
It’s prequel Danger Zone set up the characters and some of the history of the MC club that was started by Dax Pitchairn’s grandfather. Dax is home from Afghanistan and now working fixing and building bikes with a cousin of his and although his grandfather started the club it has changed from when it started. Dax was never a member and never plans to be a member. His character comes with baggage in that he has a fiancé but while he is away fighting she cheats, ends up pregnant and Dax is quick to end that relationship.
Sophie works at a bar in town, she had been in a four year relationship which she recently ended. She found out that Damien, the man she thought she was going to marry was in fact still married. Sophie stood up for herself to Damien but it is clear he has no desire to end their relationship and she begins to worry that she may be in danger from his inability to give her up.
Damien is Sophie’s ex and there is something about this man that is just not good. He is possessive and has a temper that is quick to flare. A big worry for Sophie, for Dax, not so much, he thinks he can take on Damien but who’s to say because this man is a real creep and he is hiding something big.
It doesn’t take Sophie or Dax long to settle into a physical relationship, the sexual tension and heat between the two of them makes it hard to resist each other.
As the story continues we the reader get to see a lot of the family history of both Dex and Sophie and we learn not just about them but their similar pasts. The storyline continues to build and that brings abductions, murder and threats to Dax’s ex and her little girl. He tries to help her but in the long run needs more support which leads to introducing Sophie’s father and grandfather into the story.
Although at the end of this book we don’t know exactly where anyone stands, but we do learn that Damien most likely has played a hand in the events and that there is a chance Dax and Sophie are still in danger!
I’m glad I opened up my genre box to try this book and am looking forward to reading more about this couple.
I came across the prequel (Danger Zone) to Damaged and read it. Though it seemed to have quite a few grammar problems and holes in the story line I thought I would Give Damaged a read, to see if there was improvement, and to continue the promising story. Damaged appears to have been greatly rushed. The main characters do not have much chemistry, and you begin to wonder why they are even together. Mr. Hunter leaves many large holes in the story. The last three chapters seemed to have been greatly rushed. Mr. Hunter would be greatly benefited by taking more time when writing his next installment, and not rushing it just to get it out there. With so many short comings I have no choice but to give Mr. Hunter a poor review. As always, I will read the next installment. Stay tuned…
DAMAGED By Bane Hunter
This is Mr. Hunter’s debut novel, and he has made a hugely, strong start out of the gate! He brings us the story of Dax and Sophie. He is former marine and she is a bartender. This is a well written story with fully developed secondary characters with lots of drama, suspense, twists, turns and the hot sizzling chemistry of the sex scenes are all very well done. Two rival MC clubs, with lots of history but a completely different take than normal. There is a cliffhanger that makes me glad we don’t have to wait too long until the next book! I am looking forward to reading more of Bane Hunter’s books as he makes his mark on the literary world. This is a definite 5 star book.
Off the Charts Sexy!
A friend of mine suggested this new writer to me, and I have to say I’m very happy with her recommendation. If you are into MC, and Romantic Suspense, then this book is for you. If I could compare this to hot chili peppers scale, then this would be right there with Ghost peppers because this is off the scale hot! Grab this sexy, hot book today!
Dax and Sophia’s story continues. Dax’s ex Jessica comes back into the picture. A war starts between the two MCs in the story. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I don’t know what happened between the prequel (which was amazing) and book one. This book had so many grammatical errors it took away from the story. The story lacks flow, bounces all over and parts don’t match with what was written earlier in the book. I don’t mind when stories go back in time but in this book sometimes it was noted and others it wasn’t making it confusing to follow. Some of the things that happen in this book are just unbelievable for an MC book and other parts were just stopped. Dax and Sophie are good characters but they lack chemistry. This book does end rather fast and with a cliffhanger.
This is the first book I have read by Bane Hunter and it will not be the last. What a story. I will say you need to read the prequel called Danger Zone. It will help you understand how this all started. I can’t tell you much about this wonderful story that is a cliffhanger without ruining it for you. I want you to seat on the edge of your seat as you read this book. It is full of everything from love, sex, motorcycles and gang rivals. Enjoy
Sophie is working her butt off and trying to get her life together after a bad bad relationship with Damien. This guy is a total tool! He’s definitely the ultimate bad man. Damien has his hands in every business in this small town. He’s even got the police in his pocket! Sophie is trying to just move on from Damien and be happy. She meets Dax. He’s the mechanic at his cousin’s shop. Yeah, his family has MC connections but he’s straight and not following that path. Let me tell you…the steamy hot intense sexy scenes between Dax and Sophie is ohhhh sooo hot!! Damien is like a fly and keeps buzzing around Sophie! This book kept me on my toes and left me wanting soooo much more!
First, I would recommend reading the prequel, Danger Zone prior to Damaged by Bane Hunter.
I have to admit it took me time to get into the book. Once I did, I enjoyed it. Bane Hunter gives a different take of the MC world, which I found refreshing. Dax and Sophie have connections to MCs, but were not members. Be forewarned, the book ends in a cliffhanger. Overall, a very good book. I am looking forward to the next book.
For the first book by this author is was good. It started out great, the last 3 chapters moved along to fast. I would have liked it a little slower and not so scattered especially since there is another book.
I will read the next book hopefully better
This is a good debut book for Bane Hunter. After reading the prequel I was looking forward to more time with Sophie and Dax. I was rooting for them throughout the book. I look forward to the potential in this storyline expanding.
I received an ARC copy for free and am willingly reviewing this book.
Wow! I knew after reading the prequel of Mr. Hunter’s 1st book that this would be fantastic. I did not disappoint! Just when I thought that Dax was over his former girlfriend, Jessica, she may very well be back into the picture. Not for reasons you may suspect though. Sophie also learns the truth about Damien, and it’s something that turns the way that she feels for him. This book is packed full of action and some very hot steamy scenes too. You’ll learn about what happened to Dax’s grandfather, the history between the MCs and so much more. Grab a copy and hang on for a fantastic ride!
Damaged was a great first book for a debut author. It took me a few chapters to get into the story, but once it got going I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has a great storyline with down to earth, believable characters that I felt I could relate to on many different levels. Damaged takes place in the MC work and while not my go to genre I liked where the author took the story. I look forward to seeing the growth in the authors writing when book two comes out.
WOW! What an incredible story! The story line is well written and has unique characters. There are doubts, regret, obsession, anger and steamy sexual chemistry. Can’t wait to read more of Dax and Sophia’s journey.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book: all opinions expressed are my own.
