This book is definitely a new hybrid between dark erotica and motorcycle club smut. When we meet Meadow she has been on the run for several years after her father's dying words were to hide his USB drive from Axel. I really liked Meadow - she is all alone in the world but she loved her dad and trusted his advice. She kicks butt & protects that drive with her entire being - spoiler, she hides it in some unusual places! Meadow's father was in a motorcycle club when she was younger & Axel even came around & spent time with her - they were actually really close! Axel is a dark avenger, he has been through hell & back & is very tough to love. He almost kills Meadow, several times! It is clear though when he captures her, even for brief moments before Meadow finds a way to squirm out of his grasp, that Axel enjoys the chase, loves the struggle, loves the fight in Meadow. This is what gets his blood boiling & apparently this makes Meadow all hot & bothered as well. Pretty dark stuff though, very little romance to their relationship in the beginning. And it is a typical MC - Axel has girls who he can use for whatever he wants, even the strange bedroom requests that would scare any woman to death. There are major twists & turns in this story proving that no one is all good or all evil. And beyond a doubt, Axel is a damaged man who only Meadow could love & understand & bring back to life. Meadow has the guts to stand up to Axel & not fall into his arms until she knows everything about him & I love that about her! Just when I think this dark book is going to have an equally dark ending I get the HEA I really wanted so I'm a happy camper. Can't wait to read the next book about two MC members who both desire a girl they are protecting after she was raped. Sounds like the perfect love triangle!
