For those of you who don't know who Deanna and Griz are, I highly recommend going back and reading Holding Out.Deanna Drake has a past that she wishes she could forget, unfortunately for her that past has come back and is determined to ruin her life.  For a long time, the only person who could connect and get through to Deanna was Zara, that was until Deanna laid eyes on Griz.  Griz is the only person besides Zara who challenges her.  As VP of the Hawks Motorcycle Club, Griz has a lot on his plate and is unwilling to allow anyone to be in harms way after all, he already has too much to deal with as it is.  Griz wants with all of his being to be by Deanna's side, but he has a portion of his past that is pulling him away from her on a constant basis.When he's finally cut free of his past, Griz is willing to be by Deanna's side and protect her at all costs, but that includes another member of his family to be present now.  Griz will do anything for the girls in his life and to protect them from harm, but can he finally allow Deanna into his life and his heart?I love Deanna and Griz.  Right from the start of Holding Out, they were at each other's throats but no one can deny the chemistry brewing between these two, that is everyone except for them.  They are determined to fight each other tooth and nail, that is until they fall into bed together.  From there, their relationship turns hot and steamy, but Griz has other responsibilities and those things will test their relationship left and right, not to mention the return of someone from Deanna's past determined to destroy everything that they've worked so hard to build.  I loved this novel so much more than the first one.  The chemistry was there and these two clicked together right from the start of their relationship.  This was an easy 5 star read that I finished in one sitting and I cannot wait for Blue's story!***Complimentary copy provided by author in exchange for a honest review***
