This is a reread for me. I read it back in 2015 and only rated it & never reviewed. It was just as good the 2nd time around.
Fantastic plot- sexy, thrilling, tons of drama, sadness, and everything just had me at the edge of my seat. I had 1 giggle moment when Ciara walks in on Jackson (his story is next in the series) at the bar.
Characters were enjoyable.
-Ciara is full of emotions. She’s loses everything and trys so hard to get some of that back. She’s 2nd best and has to fight to feel like someone’s first. Ups & downs with her but in the end she shines.
-Spike endures too much. He’s broken and lost. He’s also a tough biker and doesn’t show emotions. Sexy too!
Happy for the ending.

Loved the story of Spike and Ciara, it is book 2 in the series.
Spike is the president of a rival MC Club and was once best friends with Cade, the president of Hell’s Knights.
Spike and Ciara had a relationship based on friendship even though one of them wanted more than that. Ciara is the sister of Spike’s deceased wife and Ciara’s family has never forgiven him for her death. This story takes us on a path of forgiveness that is difficult for both of them. Spike still feels that he should seek revenge on his wife’s killer. If he continues on that path it will probably get him killed. The solution to this for everyone to have closure is for these old friends to forgive and reunite to get the job done and move on with their lives.
I really enjoy when the books intertwine the characters from the previous book. I am anxious to see who will be book 3. Michelehe story of Spike and Ciara!
~~Michele McMullen~~
A wild, gritty, dark, and emotional roller coaster ride to go on. Spike is drowning in grief, making him gruff, rough, and absolutely mean at times. Ciara and Spike have a past, their journey to forgiveness, acceptance, and growth was filled with strife, drama, and intrigue. I enjoyed every single moment of this book.
Oh Lord! Spike and Ciara stole my heart! This is so much more than friends to lovers. This book broke my heart then slowly put it back together, because let’s face it, they were both stubborn SOBs! So much history between them that will have you flipping the virtual pages of your kindle, whilst wanting to throw said e-reader!! *no kindle were hurt during the reading of this book!!
Heaven’s Sinner, Spike & Ciara’s story
I was curious of Spike from his story was briefly told by Cade in Hell’s Knight. I just didn’t realize I was gonna be in a roller coaster ride with Spike & Ciara, I really had a hard time with the miscommunication.
The ending sets up the next book, which is Serenity and Jackson’s book.
***
I was wondering if the the compound they blew was the one that was blown up in Desolation?
I went into this read prepared to take one for the team so I could get to Jackson book. A painful bump in the road of this series to get where I wanted which was Jackson HEA. I went in figuring I would hate this book and I would just have to suffer through it. I mean come on a love story where the heroine loved the hero, the hero loved the heroine, but then he turns around after taking the heroine’s virginity and marry’s the heroine’s sister, then the sister is killed while pregnant. Now the hero is going to get with his dead’s wife sister. I mean that is just a big hot mess. I figured it would be full of drama, and angst and I was right. Drama and angst just poured out of this book, so it shocks me to say I really loved this book. I mean I lovedddddd this book. I loved Spike, I loved Ciara, and loved every pain filled, drama filled moment of this read.
Spike was gruff, kinky, damaged, but sexy as hell. I couldn’t believe how much I loved him or how much I understood his choices and pain. I didn’t feel for a minute that Ciara was second place to here sister, but I felt like Spike settled for Ciara’s sister when he thought he couldn’t have Ciara. Ciara at times made me want to shake her but at the same time I could totally understand why she did the things she did. I wish she would have fought for Spike instead of stepping aside for her sister to have him, but I loved how much she grew into a stronger woman that learned from her mistakes and fought for the man she loved. Not gonna lie it was a bit icky that Spike slept with Ciara’s sister, but I got over it pretty quick. I don’t know about anyone else that read this book but I straight up hated Ciara’s jerk of a sister, and was glad that she was dead. I also hated Ciara’s parents they were jerks. Spike and Ciara were so dirty and kinky I loved it. The ending of this book has me looking forward to starting Jackson book. This was a surprisingly good read.
