Love is never painless. Especially when you love dangerous men. My heart wants the most dangerous one of all–the golden man with the beautiful smile. Gunner strikes enemies as ruthlessly as his falcon, but when it comes to us, he keeps me tortured and begging for a swift end. He crushed me once, then kissed hope back into me. His indecision will be the slow, painful death of me. I’m done … painful death of me. I’m done waiting. I’ll make him put me out of my misery, or pull the trigger myself.
If dealing with him wasn’t enough pain, I’m also getting my Steel Demons tattoo from Shadow.
The scarred, quiet man has been coming around to me slowly. My new cat companion is obsessed with him. If my time with the Steel Demons has taught me anything, it’s to trust the instincts of our animal guardians.
They’re intelligent. Sometimes, they even talk to us.
I don’t expect my first tattoo to be painless. But can I heal my artist from the pain he keeps locked inside?

This steel demons mc latest installment will have you a big rollercoaster of emotions. You’ll be laughing, crying and swooning over and over. I loved the relationships we get to explore more of and the story just keeps getting better and better, becoming an amazing ride to delve into. Crystal has created a world you wish you could be in and never want to leave. Shadow is amazing and loved what we got to see of him in this book. So far, this is my favourite book in the steel demons series to date and anyone who’s interested in a rh dystopian world full of all the great things a RH can bring, this is the series for you. Amazing read and I want more!
Oh, this book was wonderful. Mari attached herself to this new type of life completely. She learned new skills. Her connection with Freyia growing. Nothing is flowers and rainbows thought. Nothing is really painless. There was attacks. There was death. Repear is so broken internally about so many things. So strong yet so weak. They all question even more this connection they have with their animals. But I loved to see Shadow opening bit by bit under Mari care, and the spark that ignites between them makes me really happy, Shadow deserves something bright after all he endured in his life. It was wonderful read, and I already need more.

This latest installment of the Steel Demons MC by Crystal Ash is a whirlwind of emotion… from the butterflies we feel in our stomachs when a relationship is new and blossoming to the grief felt when we lose someone we care about. This book is chock full of all the feelings and more. Every single one of the main characters has stolen my heart.
I loved learning more about Shadow. Something about him is so compelling. He’s so much more complex than he first seems and it’s always such a treat to have his POV.
Gunnar has really come around too. I just love him too. These guys are all so perfect.
Now, the animals… slowly we learn more about their story too! It was so fun to find out more and see them interact. Plus still there’s got to be more relating to how they fit into this dystopian world. I can’t wait to find out everything else. I adore Freya especially.
I’m so impressed with this genre bending series and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes RH. This is an honest review for an ARC of the book.
This book is my favorite in the series so far. I loved seeing the relationship grow with Mari, Reaper and Jandro as well as seeing how Gunner fit in with all of them. So many secrets with the animals were brought to light and the emotions were off the charts. I don’t know how I’m going to wait until August for the next book.
OMG! I missed you guys!
“Painless” answers a lot of the questions left from “Fearless” and creates more to be answered. This exciting addition to the “Steel Demons MC” world is a heart-pounding, adrenaline rush of excitement, action, danger, vengeance, and drama that pushes all your buttons and more! Gunner is finally pulled into the circle of Mari’s love at a time when she needs his love and strength the most. The Steel Demons are attached by General Tash and were saved by the Sons of Oden MC, which forces them to begin planning an exit strategy for the entire club. The SDMC is looking for allies and coming up short. Shadow is coming out of his shell more and more with Mari, which is bringing them closer. Mari’s relationships with her guys are getting stronger and stronger now that she has Gunner in the mix, but she is beginning to be afraid after Noelle told her something that scared her. We are seeing more of Shadow’s personality, intelligence, and gentleness as he is falling for Freyja, Mari’s cat. Gunner’s uncle has finally gotten what he deserves. Reading “Painless” was like finally finding that ride or die, friend, you have been missing, you spend hours catching up and then it’s time to leave and you do not want to leave them to go home. This is how I feel waiting for “Helpless”!
