Review: Better than the first, with a strong emotional storyline

I had the privilege of getting an advance reader copy of Out of Darkness. It's the second book in the Heaven Hill series by Laramie Briscoe.  The first book in the series sets up a lot of the action and storyline of the second book. You learn about the motorcycle club dynamic and the events that happened in the first book are integral to what happens in the second. I don't think you have to read the first to understand the second, but I think it helps since characters reappear often in the storyline.The second book centers on former reporter Meredith Rager and club member Tyler Blackfoot. While the first book sets up the universe of Heaven Hill MC, the second book is all about the struggle Meredith has coming out of a dark place. One thing I've always loved about Laramie's writing is that she portrays emotions very well. Meredith lived through a very traumatic event and it's the strength and support of Tyler that brings her back to life again.Tyler is everything I love to read in a male romance lead, he's definitely an alpha male who knows what he wants. He's strong, supportive and yet sensitive to what Meredith needs and wants. He's never pushy, but just exudes this control and power just by being present in the room. That and his skull mug curse. Not that I'm saying it's cursed, but is it?If you are like me, after reading the first book, you were waiting on tender hooks to find out what happens with Tyler and Meredith. Don't worry, things definitely come to a satisfying, maybe even violent conclusion, you'll have to read to find out! Things are definitely turning a new corner with this motley band of bikers. I'm really interested to see how the club dynamic changes and evolves as the members meet their matches.
