This book's not terrible but it isn't great either. It started well but declined steadily as it went on.  Considering the length of this book I was disappointed that the story and main characters weren't fleshed out a lot more. The pain and discomfort from the abuse Angel suffered is constantly referenced, as is her small delicate stature, but hero Blaze shows virtually no compassion. In fact he actually cracks her across the face early on, splitting her lip and adding to bruises she got when her ex brutally beat her.  It was tough to take. I kept looking for a reason for her to love this guy (aside from his sexiness which is mentioned a lot), but it just wasn't there for me.I did like Angel's single minded focus on finding her son but the whole biker community mentality she was forced to deal with was difficult to like and impossible for me to enjoy. The women were treated like meat and disrespected and abused from start to finish yet with the exception of Angel (sort of) they were with the bikers by choice.I also had a hard time with the change in perspectives, the constant drifting from present tense to past tense in the narrative, and the really abrupt and sloppy ending.  Altogether it was okay but not a stand out.
