Tainted Rose by Abby weeks4 StarsBeing a huge Sons of Anarchy fan, when I read the blurb on this book, being about an MC, it was a no brainer really, I had to read it. Oddly enough I haven’t read a book about a bikers before even though I grew up with a Dad who has rode all his life and still rides now even in his 70’s!Now the DFMC is absolutely nothing like the romantic notions I have about these gangs. There is no loyalty amongst them, they stick together through fear and fear alone and not because they consider each other as brothers, who they will defend to the death. The way they treat women, as worthless possessions to be used and abused is frightening and this powerfully written book shows us just how darkthis world is for one such female.The daughter of the president of a rival club, Rose, was ‘taken’ and forced to work in a bar in the middle of nowhere just as a means to revenge, even though her father is now dead. For the last two years her life has been filled with violence and she is left with no hope.Tainted Rose includes some very graphic rape scenes and is not a book for the feint of heart. It is written in a way that gives the reader lots of description and inner thoughts rather than being dialogue driven, but I found it extremely easy to connect with both her and Josh who makes an appearance in the latter part of the book.Both their stories are told separately and lead up to the point where they are connected.  I felt the book ended too soon just when they meet it’s practically over leaving me wanting to know what happens with them next!This is a series I will continue for sure, though it’s dark it drew me in completely and I couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end.Copy supplied for review
