Review: Gritty, edgy, not really romantic, but a story that will stay in my mind.

I was curious to read this book because I simply did not remember Havoc from the previous books, and Bart's story was a real let down. This book started off slowly and it took about halfway for things to even start to get better between Havoc and Cory, mostly because this Hero was rough beyond any I have ever read of before. What was interesting was the relationship between Havoc and Cory's son Nolan, not quite a dad, not quite a brother, which was the one nice part of the story, even though it was dangerous for Nolan. I liked their interaction, in fact any scene with Nolan was quite good. He brought out the good in people, mostly. Then past the halfway mark, all kinds of gruesome mayhem and violence seemed to dominate their lives, I guess for the continuation of the story as a rough, edgy and extremely gritty portrayal of the biker culture, but it was difficult to read and absorb. I almost stopped reading right there. The story came quickly to an end after that with the specter of another set of uber-villains hanging over their heads, but in their personal lives Cory and Havoc seemed to settle down well. Overall, an interesting story based on a biker hero and very rough lives but I did see the enormous change in Havoc that he needed to accomplish as a husband and a father and he could not have found that with a better woman than Cory. This made me happy.
