*I received a copy of this book through Payge Galvin and Ronnie Douglas, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review*3 1/2 starsSasha "Sugar" Kovac has her history of drug addiction, and has quite the hot headed reputation when she's around her on and off again boyfriend Tommy. She's so wrapped up in these things that she can't seem to see the truth to the man standing in front of her, Tommy's cousin Adam. Sure she wants him like the many girls who have shared his bed, but she refuses to surrender her friendship she's come to rely on over one night, no matter how toe curling that night may be. Adam has always watched over Tommy, in fact that's why he's here at his family's urging. He knows Tommy isn't the best person but he's family and not a complete waste, if he would just see that and make the changes. Sugar is another story. She's trying to make the better choices but somehow Tommy always has a way of dragging her back in. When things turn deadly one night at the Coffee Cave, Sugar is forced to run to Adam and finds that fighting her feelings are so much harder when she's on the back of his harley.Adam and Sasha meshed well together, even if the chemistry wasn't through the roof, the characters just felt like they belonged together. Their romance and relationship took a backseat to the action that surrounded that fateful night but it was still there.The synopsis on this book really sucked me in and left me braced for an awesome story that promised grit and action. While I will say it was action filled I didn't fall in love like I had hoped. It was good, filled with flawed and entertaining characters, drama and plot twists, but the deliver and format felt choppy, rushed in some spots and drug out in others. These were more than likely typical first book in a series speed bumps though, and it was an entertaining journey. The issues were handled well and the ending left the reader ready for the next.
