I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!
This is not my favorite of this series. Cleo lets Torch treat her like a doormat. I mean extremely! All Torch cares about and wants is sex, sex, sex. He is definitely an addict. Cleo is a shy naive girl when she marries Torch but that doesn’t excuse her behavior now. She seems to bend over backwards to make him happy. Torch left Cleo high and dry and hurt after he practically raped her then just leaves her never to be heard from again. Then after 11 years he just shows up and starts ordering her around and she lets him. Whether she still loves him or not she should have made him beg for her forgiveness. But instead he says just and she asks how high. It pissed me off to the point I almost stopped reading but no freakin way. I love Hayley Faiman and I love this series. I just don’t like Torch. If he could have he would have kept her naked in bed all the time. And he almost did. But I do have to say that eventually he did start to see her as more than just someplace to stick his dick. You could tell he truly loved her. Cleo’s best friends Theo and Lisandro are the best, I loved them instantly. At times I was crying my eyes out more than once. More often than not I was so angry I wanted to slam my Kindle shut and not pick it back up but as the story goes on everything starts to turn around and well, I highly recommend this series to everyone. I can’t wait for book #6.
Cleo did not have the love of her parents and after her grandmother’s death she met Paxton Hill, who some time later will be her husband. He’s everything to her. But war can change everything. In just one night, she will be hurt, learn to forgive and try to open her heart to a fresh start. Only to be abandoned again. And eleven years later, she will discover the fine and fragile line that exists between anger and love is about to break, with the return of her husband.
Paxton Hill is a man haunted by the ghosts of the past and the horrors of war. Today known as Torch, he has a secret that his brothers from Notorious Devils MC do not know: he is married and eleven years ago he abandoned the only woman who made him know what it was to love and be loved. And when the enemies of the motorcycle club can threaten his wife’s life, he is forced to protect her. But keeping her safe may not be the only problem, when Torch rediscovers that his love for her has never ceased to exist, the desire to win her heart will be uncontrollable. However, regaining her confidence can be more difficult than it looks.
Two lives marked and hurt in different ways. The story of the protagonists is intense and revolves around trust, abandonment and self-love. Poor decisions and the consequences of the choices they have made will also be a crucial point in the narrative. There will be many mishaps on the way to Cleo and Paxton’s happiness. They will have to prove that, this time, they are strong and ready to face any adversity that appears. An intense story about forgiveness and second chances, filled with suspense, uncertainty, romance and also many dangers. A great book for MC Romance lovers.
I was happy with this book. It had a lot more club drama; twists and turns that kept me ingrossed in the story and amazing characters. Cleo and Paxton (Torch) were as great as o was hoping. They meshed well and I could really feel their passion for one another. I enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a ton of back an forth once they finally got back together. Yes it wasn’t perfect but it was fast paced and just an overall exciting read. The little story at the end for a secondary character was great. Now on to another brother. This one is going to be a wild ride I think. 4 stars #2OCCJD
