Synopsis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

SLATER
\nFor over a decade I searched for her.
\nShe disappeared a long time ago.
\nBut I never gave up.
\nSeeing her again, it was the only thing that kept me holding on for so long.
\nClutching onto the small chance that she might know who I am when I found her again.
\nIf <\/em>I found her again.
\nIt was always a big if.
\nBut I wasn\u2019t going to rest until I got answers, alive or dead, I would find her.
\nI needed to know what happened to the girl who took my heart when we were younger, and kept it for well over a decade.
\nShe owns every single piece of who I am.
\nNobody else has ever come close.
\nAnd now I\u2019ve found her.
\nAnd she\u2019s lookin\u2019 at me like she doesn\u2019t know who I am.
\nLike I wasn\u2019t her first kiss.
\nHer first boyfriend.
\nHer first love.
\nHer first heartbreak.
\nThe man who took her innocence.
\nThe man who destroyed her, and caused her to run.
\nThe man who spent ten years trying to find her, because of one pathetic, pitiful mistake.
\nI ruined her.
\nAnd now she has no idea who I am.
\nNot a single damned clue.<\/p>\n

ELLIE
\nI don\u2019t know who he is.
\nAnd yet something about him seems strangely familiar.
\nI know nothing of who I am.
\nAll my memories are like hazy nightmares. I don\u2019t know which ones are real and which ones are fake.
\nI don\u2019t even know my own name. I don\u2019t know anything about my past.
\nI only know that for the last ten years, I\u2019ve been Raven.
\nOnly that isn\u2019t my real name.
\nBut that\u2019s what he called me.
\nThe monster who owned me.
\nThe monster disguised as a saint.
\nA monster I finally escaped.
\nAnd now there\u2019s him.
\nSlater.
\nA man who claims to have spent the last decade searching for me.
\nHis Ellie.
\nHe claims I\u2019m the love of his life.
\nHe\u2019s desperate for me to remember him.
\nBut I don\u2019t.
\nEven though when I look into his eyes, I feel strangely at home.
\nLike he\u2019s the missing piece of who I am.
\nBut can I trust him?
\nCan I trust the man who claims to love me, and yet is telling me he\u2019s the reason for my hell?
\nWho is telling me, it is him, who destroyed me.
\nIs he a bigger monster than the one I just escaped from?<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 fantastically intense stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Love this book! A broken man, a girl with no memory, and a super-intense second-chance-romance with a twist, this book held me captivated from first page to the last, and I could not put it down!<\/p>\n

I signed up for the blog tour for this book, loving the idea of the story, but at the time I didn\u2019t know it was part of a series. When I found out I\u2019d be diving straight into book #6, I was seriously twitchy as I\u2019m usually obsessive about reading series in order. But this book easily stands on its own, and though there are other characters introduced that have clearly had their stories already told, there are no spoilers for their books, and at no point did I feel like I was missing out on anything. It\u2019s actually made me want to go back and read the whole lot of them, so I\u2019m really glad I picked this one up.<\/p>\n

Ellie has just escaped ten years of captivity and torture at the hands of a psychopath. She doesn\u2019t know the man who took her, or where she was held, only that he called her \u2018Raven\u2019. Now she is back \u2018home\u2019 where she belongs, but she has no memory of her life before her captivity, or even who she is. She\u2019s just starting to get her life back on track when three bikers appear on her doorstep, one of them declaring that he is the love of his life and that\u2019s he\u2019s been looking for her all this time.<\/p>\n

Slater Knight is the man who fell to pieces when Ellie was taken from him. For ten years he has searched for her, all while losing pieces of himself along the way as he descended into hell, drowning in guilt, fear and anger. And now she\u2019s back and their reunion is nothing like he was expecting.<\/p>\n

I needed to know what happened to the girl who took my heart when we were younger, and kept it for well over a decade. She owns every single piece of who I am. Nobody else has ever come close.
\nAnd now she\u2019s lookin\u2019 at me like she doesn\u2019t know who I am. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ellie is understandably terrified. She has no clue who she is, who Slater is, or who she can even trust, and she has no guarantees that her memory will even return. And when she discovers that the man who took her is still looking for her, she\u2019s scared for her very life. The Police can only do so much, so she turns to Slater, his family, and their MC for protection, and Slater is only too willing to step in and be there for his girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost her once, I\u2019m not goin\u2019 to fuckin\u2019 lose her again.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the set-up for this book, and Jewel hits you with the feels from the very first moment. I could feel Ellie\u2019s fear, I could feel Slater\u2019s heartache, and I was right there with both of them through every stage of their story.<\/p>\n

The book is written in alternating chapters between past and present, so we get the fantastic YA\/NA romance which began at their first meeting when she is 17 and he is 21. Slater lives with his father and his three fabulous brothers, and when foster-child Ellie moves in next door, she is pretty much adopted into his family and the relationship between them is just gorgeous. But the connection between Slater and Ellie is unique from the very beginning, and I loved watching their open honesty with each other as their friendship\/infatuation effortlessly shifted into all-consuming love.<\/p>\n

The moment I laid eyes on her. She was mine. She was always fuckin\u2019 mine.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the present, Slater is trying hard to be respectful and keep his distance from Ellie, but he\u2019s a man who has been destroyed by her absence, and who finally has his whole life back in front of him. It\u2019s a heartbreaking situation he\u2019s in as he wants nothing more than to claim his girl back, but he knows he needs to be patient, and I could feel the intensity in every single encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you\u2026do you think I\u2019ll remember?\u201d
\nHe meets my eyes. \u201cFuckin\u2019 hope so, darlin\u2019.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Slater is so amazing. How can you not fall for a man who loves so deeply and so devotedly? His torment literally drips off the page as he holds nothing back in his fight for Ellie. He lets her know exactly how he feels, he pours his heart out over and over again and his possessiveness and protectiveness is shiver-inducing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the one who searched. I\u2019m the one who broke. I\u2019m the one who lived in fuckin\u2019 agony for ten years. So, I\u2019m the one who will end this for you. Who will fix it.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think I don\u2019t need you, Ellie, you\u2019re so fuckin\u2019 incredibly wrong. I\u2019ve needed nothing but you for every waking second since you left. I\u2019m never goin\u2019 to be the same unless you\u2019re in my world, because fuck, you are my world.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And through it all, Ellie struggles to figure out her life, how to fit these new pieces into the life she was just beginning to reclaim, and how to reconcile the feeling of safety and \u2018rightness\u2019 that she feels with this man who she can\u2019t even remember.<\/p>\n

I really want to know what Slater Knight meant to me.
\nAnd I won\u2019t stop until I find out.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the shadow of the past is looming over her, and Slater has a devastating truth that he is wrestling. Their heartache is not over yet, and as danger looms ever closer, they\u2019ll have to trust the strength of their connection to get through it all.<\/p>\n

This is a beautiful, beautiful story, and I was glued to my kindle as it all played out. There are ups and downs, heartache and horror, and a whole lot of sweet moments as Ellie is reintroduced into her old life. Her relationships with Slater\u2019s brothers, in particular, is beautifully written, and I loved seeing how much they all meant to each other as they all gather around to be there for her. The MC aspect of the story is minimal \u2013 they are a part of the club, but there\u2019s no real club \u2018business\u2019 to speak of, more that they are a bunch of protective badasses who have each other\u2019s backs. So I wouldn\u2019t call this a full-on MC book, but the general themes of family and brotherhood are definitely there. This is Slater and Ellie\u2019s book through and through, and it\u2019s a wonderfully intense love story with all the feels.<\/p>\n

Such a great read, I loved it.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
