This was a gritty and shocking MC read. In some parts I had my mouth wide open catching flies I was that floored.Maddie and Ford were brought together in their teens when Ford’s father, Cropper, the president of the Bare Bones MC, shacks up with Maddie’s mother in a bid to gain some element of ‘normal’ to defer all eyes from the MC. Not sure how he thought he would achieve this as Maddie’s mother was the local meth seller, but hey from that point I knew we were in for some eye opening scenes.Cropper is, well let’s just say he has issues and the appalling things he does leads Maddie to leaving home never to return. However after a timespan of ten years she finds herself back and face to face with Ford again. The pair can no longer deny what was meant to be but Maddie cannot bring herself to tell Ford why she had to leave a decade ago.When you are reading an MC book you expect some element of hard-core but this book, wow it certainly had that which raised that hard-core bar way above reach. There was abuse and vomit inducing play but it still had me flicking that kindle button to find out how this was going to end. In fact I read this in one sitting.The ending was lovely and I liked that Maddie and Ford got their HEA but oh my wordy it took a lot of brutality, abuse and a whole lot of WTFery to get there.Overall a good read but not a fluffy love story. If you like it edgy then you will like this. A 3.5 star read for me.
