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

Another sensational read from Madeline Sheehan.
\nAND GODDAMN, I WANT A HOT, BADASS, FOUL-MOUTHED BIKER BOY!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

Danny and Ripper\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cOurs was the furthest thing from a picture-perfect romance; it was more of a car crash, a metal-bending, blood-splattered disaster that left no survivors, only bad memories and heartache.
\nBut it was ours.
\nAnd because it was ours\u2026I wouldn\u2019t change a thing.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That quote came from the prologue of this book. By the end of the prologue, I was hooked. By the end of the first chapter, I had already rated 5 stars and was bouncing up and down in my chair, so freaking excited to read the rest of the book.<\/p>\n

Fair warning too – I\u2019ve gone all quote-whore in my review again. Deal with it.<\/p>\n

This book starts where Undeniable <\/a>finishes, and we are straight back into the world of the Hell\u2019s Horsemen MC. Deuce and Eva are (at last) happily married, and Deuce\u2019s daughter Danny, and club member, Ripper have some INTENSE chemistry going on, but despite all of the eye fuckery, there is some major animosity between them. They clearly have history, and there is one EPIC moment, before the story moves back to three years previously to get the start of their story.<\/p>\n

As the daughter of a MC Prez, 18 year old Danny has grown up in the biker world. \u201cA world of constant crime and cruelty, a cold world full of despair and death\u201d<\/i>. She has always been a spirited, happy and vibrant girl, but with the fallout of the events at the end of Undeniable<\/i> (before the HEA epilogue), her life has fallen to pieces, and she is struggling to cope. And then along comes Ripper. He has been left horrifically scarred after being brutally tortured in the first book, and is still nursing a whole heap of issues. At 32 years old, he is 14 years older than Danny, but the two of them come together unexpectedly one night, and it irrevocably alters them both.<\/p>\n

Unable to stay away from each other, they engage in a clandestine affair \u2013 kept secret because of Deuce\u2019s club rules that nobody is to touch his baby girl. And above all else, Ripper is loyal to his club, his brothers, and to his President.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was fucked. He was so fucking fucked.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cIf your old man caps me, you better be front and center at my fuckin\u2019 funeral, cryin\u2019 your goddamn eyes out.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Theirs is an intense and all consuming love. They fall fast, and they fall hard, and together they are absolutely SMOKING HOT!!! There is some sensational character development as the two of them find strength in each other, but one tragic event brings it all to a screeching halt. And in order to protect Danny, and thinking that she is better off without him (ugh, why do guys do that???), he takes off, shattering them both.<\/p>\n

Told in dual POV, we get to see both of them try to move on, and my heart broke over and over again at everything they went through, and the circumstances they are forced to deal with. And when they inevitably come face to face again, there is still so much feeling between them, their love and anger practically explode off the page, but there are even more obstacles between them now, and they still have so much more to face! There is lots of heartache, and plenty of \u2018oh fuck\u2019 moments, not only for Danny and Ripper, but for the rest of the MC, and it\u2019s one helluva ride!<\/p>\n

FUCK THIS SHIT.
\nFuck the club and the code, and fuck brotherhood. He would give it all up for her. For his woman. Because she sure as shit was his, and he\u2019d go to hell and back ten times over before he lost her forever.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And oh joy, there is a lots of Deuce and Eva time! The majority of this book is retrospective, and so we get to see them suffering through the after effects of the ending of Undeniable<\/i>. And it is utterly heartbreaking! Seeing them so torn up after everything that they had been through was just devastating! But thank God, we got to see the moment where it all turns around for them, and even though I knew the outcome, I was still cheering.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you,\u201d she cried softly. \u201cNo one else, baby, not like this, not the way I\u2019ve always loved you.\u201d
\n\u201cHow much do you love me?\u201d he asked hoarsely \u2026
\n\u201cYou already know,\u201d she whimpered. \u201cYou\u2019re everything to me, everything, you always have been, baby\u2026\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cEva,\u201d he rasped, cupping the back of her head and forcing her to look at him. \u201cMarry me, darlin\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And a big shout out to Danny\u2019s big brother Cage. He\u2019s a total manwhore\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cMotherfuck,\u201d Deuce muttered, staring after him. \u201cTen bucks says he fucked that mouthy little asshole. Motherfuckin\u2019 little fuck can\u2019t keep it in his pants for shit. Cocksucker would fuck a hole in the wall. Probably has.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2026 but he is beautifully protective of his baby sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoulda fuckin\u2019 told me, little sister,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cWould never let you go through all this shit by yourself.\u201d
\nGrabbing my hand, he threaded his large fingers through mine and squeezed. \u201cThis is what big brothers are fuckin\u2019 here for \u2026 To pick their little sisters up when they fall the fuck down.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s a total mini-Deuce and I love him. His story is set up very nicely, and I’m excited for the fireworks which I am sure are to come!<\/p>\n

There are other storylines woven throughout the book involving the other members of the MC. It\u2019s good, it\u2019s bad, and it\u2019s shocking, but it all adds to the biker world, and to the reality of the lifestyle. And the banter between the boys is sensational!<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s fuckin\u2019 pussy-whipped now, asshat?\u201d Cox laughed over his shoulder. \u201cThat would be you, bitch!\u201d
\n\u201cYou did not just call me a bitch!\u201d Mick roared, chasing him.
\n\u201cBitch! I fuckin\u2019 did! Bitch!\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While, for me, this book didn\u2019t have the shocking \u2018in-your-face-what-the-fuck-did-I-just-read?\u2019 punch that Undeniable<\/i> did, it is still an absolutely fantastic book. The writing is phenomenal, it\u2019s vivid and real, and completely sucks you into the story. And once again, Madeline pulls no punches when creating her biker world. It\u2019s dirty, brutal, violent, and shocking at times, yet the bond of the brotherhood is incredibly strong, and she still manages to make you care about her characters \u2013 even when they do horribly deplorable things. Plus we get not one, but two beautiful (although slightly fucked up) love stories featuring four broken, but incredible characters that are absolutely unforgettable.<\/p>\n

I loved every single moment of this book, I wish it was longer.<\/p>\n

5 sensational stars.<\/p>\n
