I finished this book and didn’t know exactly how I felt about it. So I decided to wait a day or two to get over my book hangover. Once I mulled it all over I realized I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. The Bares Bones is brutal and NOT for the faint at heart. If you can’t handle violence then I wouldn’t recommend it at all, however if you don’t mind the darks reads then it just might be the book for you. I read quite a lot of biker books and there were some parts of this book that made me squeamish and grossed out. That being said I still really enjoyed the book. The plot was very good and kept me guessing. All of the characters were well developed and had depth. *WARNING: Contain triggers!! There is abuse, sexual abuse and child abuse.Madison had a really crappy childhood but eventually she did overcome it. At first she is a struggling 15 year old, who endures more than most adults could handle. Then she escapes and becomes a nurse who has turned her life around. Once Ford walks back into her life she realizes that he is the one and only for her. While she loves Ford, she struggles with some of the club members and what they do. I did feel she was a bit nave and that she should have just told Ford what Cropper was doing. I did love how strong of a woman she was.Ford is the ultimate bad boy with a good heart. Sure his club isn’t full of angels but he doesn’t go around beating up people for no reason. I liked how he much he cared for Maddy. He knew she was his from the get go. I just wish he would have looked out for his club more. With some of the monsters they had in the club I was really surprised that most of the members fully supported him being the President.This is an extremely emotional read and like I said very brutal. It does contain some really messed up stuff sexually that I had trouble stomaching and I wasn’t always thrilled with what was going on but I could not put it down. I lost sleep for this book and that doesn’t happen often. I am looking forward to what Layla Wolfe writes next.
