Plot:  Life can be a bitch but love can get you through any storm.

Madison Cole’s family is the Storm Motorcycle Club. Her father is the President and her brother is the VP. She grew up surrounded by bikers, crime and violence. Two years ago she walked away from her family and the world they live in. Her soul was shattered, her heart was broken and she had an addiction she couldn't shake. She picked up the pieces and put herself back together. Now her family wants her back. The club is being threatened and they send a club member to return her home to safety; the one person that could destroy everything she has worked so hard to build.

Jason Reilly has sacrificed a lot for the motorcycle club he calls family. Two years ago he made the biggest sacrifice of all; he gave up the woman he loved for them. Now he is being sent to bring her back and he is conflicted. He thought he was over her but discovers their connection is as strong as ever. Their love was all-consuming, passionate and fiery. It was also their undoing and he doesn't know if either of them is strong enough to battle the demons that ripped them apart, to find love again.

Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control; one that pushes them to a breaking point. Can they overcome their past and discover a love worth fighting for or will the harsh reality of their world finally and completely break them both?

Excerpt:

I grabbed my purse and headed outside to go and buy lunch.  J was on the phone, but saw me come outside and signalled for me to wait.

“I’m going to buy lunch, J.  And I only get an hour so I don’t have time to wait for you,” I said, tersely.  He kept talking and scowled at me.  I turned and started to walk away from him, towards the cafe where I always bought lunch.

I could hear him muttering something into the phone and then he must have ended his call because he went silent.  Then, he barked, “Madison!”

The last thing I wanted to do was stop for him, but there was something in his tone; a ‘don’t fuck with me’ command.  So I stopped, and turned around to look at him.  Oh, my.  He was shitty. 

He stalked to where I was and got in my face.  “Why the fuck do you have to be so difficult about this?” He was fuming.

Well, I could see him, and raise him in his anger.  “Maybe it has something to do with the way Scott has gone about this.  And the fact that he sent you!”

He flinched.  It was only for a second, and most people wouldn’t have even noticed it.  But I knew J, and I saw it.  It surprised the fuck out of me.  “Well then, it looks like we’ve got some shit to sort out, babe, because I’m not going anywhere.”

“I don’t want to sort shit out with you.  That ship sailed two fucking years ago, J,” I spat.

He gripped my arm, pulling me closer, “No, it fucking didn’t,” he growled, eyes blazing, “And you can’t deny there’s still something here.  I feel it and I know you feel it too.”

I laughed.  No, actually, I cackled.  “You wanna fuck, J?  I can feel that, and, yeah, if you wanna go there, I’m all for it.  But don’t mistake my desire for your cock for anything else.”

MY REVIEW:

  

  “Some people showed their love with gentle and tender movements; Madison and I only knew one speed in everything we did in life. And doing it all together, we fit together perfectly in our imperfect love.” 

The good: Decent plot and story line. Okay characters and pacing.

The bad: I wanted more plot and character development.

My thoughts: As a self-obsessed MC reader and hot biker lover, while I did like this book it was more so just an okay read for me that didn’t exactly stand out from all of the previous MC books that I’ve come across.

While I do commend the effort in the writing and events, what snagged it for me was the stale pacing and the constant (or should I say redundant) implications that are brought up by the female protagonist over and over about her man and the club. You would think that growing up in the biker world as the MC president’s daughter she would have been conditioned for this BUT she isn't and it affects her relationship with her family and biker beau.

As for the male protagonist, he was smexy but with no real stand out personality. He did have that alpha possessive attitude going on which is something that I love but I wish that there was more to him than what was just presented.

Over all though, criticisms and all, a steamy and exceptional story!! I liked how no matter what Ms. Levine kept the basic MC elements alive in this book as although I hate to admit, the MC world is a male dominated world where women have no real status or say in their world aside from being easy pussy or trophies to stand by their men.

I also liked the background chemistry of the two main characters. I enjoy reads where the characters meet at a young age and become friends and bloom into lovers. The only problem though for this couple was the miscommunication which stems from the MC club rules which drives many wedges between both characters.

So my verdict: An delicious and delightful read that I would recommend to all of you who love hot motorcycle men who have alpha heathen tendencies!! I’m sure that most of you ladies will fall in love with J and will now mark him as your new book boyfriend!!

 Since this obviously looks to be a series, I hope for Madison’s brother’s story to be next or most especially, Nash’s story to be book two!! I LOVED the perverted Nash!! He’s my fav!!

  “You and me, that’s forever.”

My Rating:

-Overall : 8.5
-Plot : 8.5
-Writing : 8.5
