Excerpt
I take a deep shuddering breath, close my eyes and stretch
my hand towards him. His touch is gentle this time, far more gentle than I’d
ever thought someone with so much uncontained violence to him could be.
“Spread your fingers,” he commands. I do, and he lifts the
roll of tape, presses the edge to my skin and begins winding it over my
knuckles. I close my eyes. The strident sound of it stretching out from the
roll makes me want to flee. It makes me want to run as far from his touch—from
any man’s touch—as I can possibly get.
The feel of the tape against my flesh, binding, holding,
is so much worse. I tug on my hand, but he won’t let go. My heartrate
skyrockets, and sweat beads erupt over my brow and upper lip. I’m in that room
again, struggling, screaming, trying to fight them off, and failing.
Biker knows it,
too. His dark eyes challenge, they dare me to run, but they also implore me to
stay. It’s ironic that the only thing keeping me here, keeping me grounded, is
the man who abducted me.
He holds my gaze. I don’t know exactly what is hidden in
his dark blue one, but it suffocates the panic within me, douses it like water
flooding flames. He bends his head to my hand. Taking the paper tape in his
mouth, he rips it with his teeth.
I still. I soften. His gaze doesn’t leave mine, not even
once. Not even when he starts in on my wrist, gently biting through each piece
of tape before pressing it down with his rough hands. I’m mesmerised by his
mouth, the piercing, and the soft, full lips. The light catches a silver chain
around his neck, something I’ve never noticed before—but then I try not to make
a habit of staring too closely at him. Not now, though. Now I watch every
twitch, every blink, every intake of breath, and every inch that is swallowed
up by his mouth moving closer to my flesh.
Synopsis
When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the
family.
A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their
lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than
the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected
me to my own family.
A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a
currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back
that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson.
I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
And I’ll betray her too.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to
read it.

use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+

Review
This is the story of Kick and his hard won true love, Indie.
Kick
is a tortured man who has always believed he would never love again after he lost his soulmate, Lauren. He goes through life doing what he
shouldn't with who he shouldn't, having just one style of sex, rough and
hard, where he is in total in control of the situation. At
the clubhouse, he has his pick of women, but always stays with one who is
more damaged than him.
One night while doing a routine run for the MC,
things begin to change when out of the blue a lady happens to be found
that had been missing for many weeks. And after the things she's been
through she needs someone to hold onto. Kick who has a
tender side to him, takes her under his wing.
Kala AKA Indie has suffered things no human being should ever experience. She fears Kick will do her harm just like the losers that tortured her for weeks and weeks, she wants to die and repeatedly
asks this biker to just do her in so she doesn't have to suffer anymore.
This MC book is more grittier than some I have read but it was written in a way
that you find yourself craving more and more with every word you read. The back story of why Kick is the way he is, made my heart ache for
this poor man. You know by just what you read that he is a real
darling, but to cope with his past acts like a total douche at
times.
The
story that unfolds between these characters was a slow rise to the
formation of two halves of a whole coming together. When I reached the
end I was so happy for both these people that I almost cried. If you would've
told me in the beginning that Kick could be that kind of softie I would
have told you no way no how, but low and behold he was a real softy underneath all the rough facade.
For the most part I liked this book very much, but there is one particular thing that brought confusion while reading the story. I feel like the times when Kick was thinking back
to his previous life with his previous love, better detail/introduction to the beginning of the chapters was needed to better guide the reader and avoid confusion. The chapter would start
and a couple sentences into it I would realize that it was a flashback instead of the present time, the flashback didn't bother me, but I feel that a bit of a foreword was definitely needed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
complaining, just a suggestion for next time.
All and all, this was an excellent moving story that will highly recommend to any lover of MC stories.

Wonderful review, Tammy! Thank you so much! And thanks for participating in the tour! :)
