This was a pretty good read. I liked it better than the first installment (which I DNF). There were typos scattered throughout the book, though, which I couldn't much tolerate. Therfore, it left me questioning if this book was actually edited like it claimed.Well, onto the story. I liked that there was a back story to Tate and Murphy's romance. Murphy started out as Tate's babysitter when she was 16. They eventually fall for each other, but suddenly Murphy "betrays" The Skulls and leaves to be part of The Lions. Hurt and pained by Murphy's betrayal and from always being second priority to The Skulls, Tate decides to move out of her home and cut ties with her family and start a new life for herself. After spying on The Lions and getting what he was after, Murphy is back with The Skulls and he's not letting Tate get away. He has to make her trust him again and understand that what he did was to protect her.As for the characters, I did find myself liking the heroine Tate. She was quite the bitch, but in a good way. She had a backbone and wasn't afraid to stand up for herself and voice her opinions. She wasn't a quiet, meek submissive. I liked Murphy as well. He made a lot of sacrifices to be with Tate and I liked how he never gave up on her. Now, onto the sex. The sex scenes were steamy. However, no protection was ever mentioned when Tate and Murphy had sex. Thus, I was disappointed when Tate never questioned Murphy especially with her knowing that he slept with women while he was with The Lions. I mean, he could be stringing along a bunch of STDs with him. But, later on in the story Murphy did admit to Tate that while staying with The Lions he was forced to have sex with women and got checked monthly to make sure he was clean...so there's a little reassurance from that.This book did have quite a lot of drama, violence and danger involved. Bullets were flying and the main characters just had major issues that needed to be dealt with. These characters aren't saints and angels. They're effed up people. What they do also leaves you questioning who the good guys really are. They do things that are frowned upon and kill for reasons that left me scratching my head at times (e.g. killing ex-boyfriends just because...) WTF?In the end, I'd say pick this up if you're into biker romances and effed up characters. The ending of this book sets up the next book which is going to be Nash and Sophie's story. With how the epilogue ended with Nash, I think his story is going to be more effed up.
