Luciana — All I’ve known is pain and suffering at the hands of men — even from my father, a man who was supposed to love and protect me. I’ve survived, nothing less and nothing more. When I’m dropped off with a club of bikers, I figure it’s more of the same. I’ll do as I’m told, make sure I please them, and hope one day I’ll find a way to escape. There is only one thing that could ever break … me, and I’m scared of what will happen when the club learns my secret. Will they return me to my father? Or will I be used to broker yet another deal?
It never occurred to me the President of Hades Abyss would be my salvation, or that I would fall in love with him. I never knew men could be honorable and kind. He’s all gruff and domineering, but under that rough exterior I can see the heart of gold he tries to hide.
Spider — Assassin Casper VanHorne, Picasso of wet work and pain in my ass, has asked my club to take in two Colombian princesses. Well, he didn’t use the term princesses, but I have no doubt they’ll be spoiled little bitches. The first time I see Luciana and her sister, I think I’ve got them pegged just right — until I look in Luciana’s eyes and see the fear she’s trying to hide. Something isn’t right. I know it deep in my gut.
I never once thought a woman nearly forty years younger than me could ever captivate me, but the more I get to know her, the more Luciana holds me spellbound. I didn’t want to fall in love, didn’t want a woman in my life… but sometimes the Fates know better than a mere mortal man, and Luciana is exactly what I need. When her father demands her return, I vow to keep her safe. No fucking way I’ll let the sick bastards who hurt her get their hands on her again. Now that she’s mine, I’ll march into hell if need be in order to keep her by my side.

HEARTBREAKING & HEARTWARMING
Spider is not what I expected. His character is 20 years older than Luciana but you know what they say, age is just a number baby. Spider is the President of the Hades Abyss MC and his son Ryker is married to Laken, the sister of Flicker a member of the Dixie Reaper’s MC so Ryker lives at the Dixie Reaper’s compound with his wife and son. You can tell Spider is a loving man but he’s also a grouchy old turd. When Luciana and Violeta are brought the the compound no-one is very happy about it but none of them know exactly why they’re there. Luciana goes to live with Spider and Violeta goes to live with Rocket. Rocket lost his sister not long ago and misses her terribly. The horror that Luciana and Violeta have lived through is so heart wrenching to think about. All the women throughout all these series have been to hell and back but these two and their sister Sofia have survived a father who sold them to men to be used, abused and tortured starting at the early age of fifteen and Luciana is carrying the twins of one of her abusers.I WAS BAWLING! When Luciana gets up in front of Spider and starts to take her clothes off he freaks out and he finally finds out why the women think they’re there, to service all the men and it shocks the sh*t out of Spider but there’s an attraction between them. And let me tell ya. Spider may be 20 years older than Luciana but that man rocked her world and mine. LOL! Twice! Spider and Luciana’s feeling start to grow and you could feel the emotions coming off the pages. The fear that Luciana lived with every day was heartbreaking but she grew stronger and found alittle more of herself every day. When their father decides he wants Luciana back all hell breaks loose. It’s so exciting. Spider will never give her up and Luciana would fight to the death to stay with Spider. There are surprises and revelations around every corner. Watching Spider’s love grow is so romantic and sweet. I absolutely loved the ending. I highly recommend this series to everyone.
First off I love this author and am really excited to start reading more about the guys of Hades Abyss. This book was really good. It’s an emotionally hard read it does have abuse triggers. Luciana is strong and fragile all in one her story is heartbreaking but it was amazing to see her fall in love. Spider is everything you think of for an MC president but so much more.
While not necessary to follow or enjoy the story I highly recommend reading the Devil’s Boneyard and Dixie Reaper series Ms Wylde is absolutely fantastic at writing an engaging sexy story featuring alpha men who are everything you stereotypically expect a biker to be but then oh so much more.
The Spider will find his queen and a whole lot of trouble.
Spider is one character who has intrigued me for some time. The story of Spider and his love is one I have been waiting for quite some time. And, the wait was well worth it. Spider is quite a bit older than Luciana. And reading this story was a blast.
Luciana is a bit timid and shy, but strong as well. She trusts Spider. That says a lot about her character especially when the story of her past comes out.
Spider is quite different than most of the members of the MC that I have read so far. I love that. The heat and chemistry are present between both of them as well as Spider’s patience for Luciana. He is very much in tune with her and her needs.
It is a short read but it has scenes of violence and miscarriage that some readers may not like. As well as talk of rape.
That being said the climax and prologue suprised me but reading this story was well worth everything.
Spider expected some pampered South American princesses to be dumped on his doorstep. What he got was a traumatized pair of sisters, the eldest coming to his home to live. Luciana expects more of what she has come to expect from men since she was fifteen. What she gets is a gruff but sweet MC president who wants to protect her. Luciana is stunned at her feelings for Spider and cannot imagine feeling this way ever again. Spider will do whatever it takes to protect her but never expects to fall in love with her. Will these two find happiness in spite of Luciana’s wicked, evil father doing his level best to destroy them all? I loved Spider and Luciana’s story, so loving right from the start. I loved watching these two build a life together and didn’t want it to end. Luciana and her sisters have had a horrible past but coming to America with Casper Van Horne was the best thing to happen to them. Ms Wylde knows how to give us some of the sweetest bikers and I can’t get enough of her books! I am totally addicted to Harley Wylde!
A captivating, suspenseful, and endearing journey to go on with Spider and Luciana. There was an age difference, but it didn’t matter at all between them, in fact it was not even noticeable. Luciana felt safe and cared for, that was all that mattered. What Luciana and her sisters endured was horrific but this story was written with respect and understanding. Makes you believe that you can find love no matter what your past was like, or how old you are. I loved every single moment of this story.
Wow this book was a doozy, it took me on a emotional ride I thought would never stop. Luciana is the most, amazing strong and fierce person I’ve never read about, she made it and she will continue to survive, Spider is just amazing himself! Who says you can’t find love in any ages! 5 Stars!
Once again Harley Wylde comes through, enjoyed everything about this story. A good read.
