This is the first in a new series by the talented Ms Mayburn and features her trademark heat and storytelling but this time the author enters the world of Motorcycle Clubs. It's not the usual tattooed bad boys though as this book primarily centres on the two leading characters and the journey they are both about to take. This book is just the beginning of what looks set to be a truly wild ride!Smoke is many things, a biker, an ex soldier, a security expert and a man obsessed by the strangely innocent young woman Swan. Swan just happens to be the twin sister of Smokes club presidents lady and as such it's been his job to watch over her. Swan has no idea that the gorgeous man who keeps showing up is about to change her life  but when she is mistakenly kidnapped instead of her twin sister Sarah it's Smoke who rescues her and he's not about to let her go!Swan has had a difficult childhood and her dysfunctional family are so not what most consider normal. Swan has severe trust issues and yet there's something about Smoke that just screams safety. Swan may not have wanted to be dragged into her families problems but when her mother chose to steal from dangerous men it put Swan firmly in the firing line. Swan may have tried living a normal life but the madness her mother has released is coming Swans way. Can she really trust Smoke or is he just using her? He seems determined to drive her crazy but it's a madness that's heating up her blood and Smoke truly sets her on fire!Oo what an opener! Smoke is such an enigma in so many ways. He is a hard man and will do whatever it takes to protect  his own and yet with Swan he is the most patient that I think I've ever seen in a sexy book. He is constantly showing the heroine that he wants her and yet determined to show her nothing but pleasure as she learns to trust him.Swan is an odd mixture of sensuality and innocence and when nervous just let's her mouth run away with her and because of this can be quite amusing to read about. She is not the usual kick ass or whiney heroine but an intruiging mix of the two and her way of communicating with her father is truly mind blowing! With Swan I think we can always expect the unexpected!So another biker book but it's not at all like any other that I have read. Scary guys yes and the odd sweet butt but this book has so much more to offer. It's a hot read and Smoke really knows how to satisfy his lady ! My only complaint is the somewhat abrupt ending but just like others I will be eagerly anticipating the next book. Not exactly a cliffhanger as such but there's a lot more to come and it's going to be fabulous !A gifted copy was supplied by the publisher for an honest review
