Blurb:
Ares.
I was suffocating till the club saved me. I've sent the pain below, buried it and taken control of my life.
Now, I cause the pain. I make people break and beg for their lives, as I decide their fates. It's up to me as the Enforcer to protect my club by any means necessary.
She comes in to my life, like a stiff punch to the gut, making me question everything I once believed.
She belongs to my brother and it goes against everything to take her from him. However, I don't want to just take her. No, I want them both.
Can my club handle it? Can he? Because she already loves me?

My Thoughts:
Ares
is a man with a secret. He’s a very
intense character and the author has done a great job of portraying him as part
of an MC – reader will have no trouble thinking he actually exists. He’s tough but not too tough to care about
others. Part of Ares intensity is shown
in his sexual encounters. The reader
will also find out how he earned his MC name.
Avery
and 2 Piece are very important to him.
Even though the author has written the story in the first person, the
reader also gets to know what all three characters think and feel. You can tell how much they all care for the
other but their relationship doesn’t overtake the story either. After all, this is an MC book and in order
for us to know more about the club the author has to find the perfect balance.
If
you’re someone who gets queasy over the sight of blood, just be warned that
some scenes are graphic. I’m not a fan
of horror and a particular scene had me wanting to hide behind a pillow. It also didn’t stop me from reading because I
knew the scene would end. The author
does a great job of showing both the romantic and scary sides to being in an
MC. She reminds her readers that not all
of them are white knights. They deal
with violence and death almost on a daily basis. The language used goes toward showing the
life they lead. If you’re a person that
doesn’t like a lot of “strong” graphic language then this book may not be for
you. And if the author had toned down
the language, so as not to offend, it would change your reading experience and
it wouldn’t be as believable.
Even
though I haven’t read any of the other books in this series, I had no trouble
following the story line and understanding what this group of men is about. Our author has two more books coming out in
December and I just may have to check them out.
And I’ll also have to check out the other books that she has out
now. If you’ve never experienced the MC
romance genre before, you might want to start at the beginning of the author’s
series just so you get to experience the club from the beginning.
Excerpt:
Now that we’ve spoken, she’s not afraid of me anymore. She smiles and sometimes giggles when she passes by me. I love hearing her laugh; it brings me peace. I can’t help but chuckle or grin each time.
He’s been my friend for years and has never known that I’m attracted to him. I would do anything for him if he were to ask, but he never does. He thinks I like to watch a woman with him, when in reality, I only like watching him.
Now though…now he has her, and I want them both. I’ve never felt so torn before. I don’t want them for just a fuck. I’ve had them for that. Not him completely, but we’ve been close. I dream of grasping his hair and thrusting into him roughly while I kiss her mouth. I doubt that fantasy will ever come true though.

She catches me watching them and flashes a bright smile, excitedly waving her hand at me. I grin and give her a slight wave back.
