It is really hard for me to review Bella Jewel books. For one I always feel like I'm one of those slap stick chicks fan girling so hard they need knee pads.OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!So, I am going to do the best I can, without all the oh my gods.This is one of those stories that rides that fine line between dark romance and just a really broken romance story.For the most part I don't believe Axel and Meadow for the most part were 'meant to be', believe they were broken to the point where they were the only ones that fit together. The pieces were so shattered that by the time they needed to rebuild, there they were for one another.I'm a huge fan of chasing. I love when the 'hero' is basically chasing the 'heroine' and needs to catch and it is one of those combustible situations. I'm a huge fan of combustible. The thrill of the chase is like my thing, I must have been some soft of animal in a previous life because just the thought of being caught at the end. Yeah. And not only does Axel chase unwillingly, but he chases her to prove he's all kinds of EFF'd up lolTo me this went further than biker romance and it broke some genre rules when it introduced all the darker elements that it did. I do understand that as a whole, the biker genre is dark. I have only watched like four episodes of SOA and all of them made me hurt inside. I can do dark, up to a point, and Belle always manages to keep me in my happy zone.For the most part this story was tragic, broken, beautiful, and epic in it's own genres way. There were such beautiful lines that brought tears to my eyes. Axel did quite a few nonredeemable EFF'd up stuff that most of my reader friends would have a field day with. But he was a product of his abuse and environment.Let me just say, that scene when he shows up in the rain at the doorstep. Yeah, I swooned.Great characters, awesome storyline, and uber sexy when it needed to be.
