I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.This isn't your typical romance book. It's raw, gritty, dirty, dark. There is the fair share of death, sex, intense scenes. It definitely isn't for the faint of heart."If you ain’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room.The rose-colored illusion of Madison Shellmound’s girlish crush on biker Ford Illuminati is stomped into smithereens by his crude father Cropper, Bare Bones motorcycle club President. Fearing Ford will kill Cropper if he finds out, Madison flees, becoming an upstanding cardiology nurse.Madison and Ford have an ill-fated, star-crossed love that will last their lifetimes. Ford is a lifer in a different sort of enterprise, the gritty full-throttle club of guns, blood, and allegiance to his brothers. Twelve years and several tours of SEAL duty later, Ford is thrust back into Madison’s arms on the worst day of his life. Madison’s prospect brother Speed has screwed up big-time and owes the club his life. She offers herself to Cropper as a sacrificial lamb to save Speed.But how long until the fiery, full-on outlaw Ford discovers that the woman he loves was treated like a degraded slave by his own father? Well, meet the new boss. He’s not the same as the old boss."I really liked the idea of this book, but it felt like it jumped around a lot. Cropper, President of the MC is a horrible man. Ford, the son (and new Pres)I liked his character but I found I wanted to smack him around for not seeing what was right in front of him. The humor seemed pushed at you and some of sex scenes were awkward to me, but some were really well written. I still would read more in this series.*Wicked Reads Review Team*
