Spotting a young woman being sold as a slave Matthias can't just walk away. Something draws him to her but taking her from a rival motorcycle gang could have disastrous consequences . The fact that Matthias and Bishop kill the rival club leaders son isn't going to win them any points as it looks like all out war is heading their way!Jessa has been sheltered from the harsh realities of life in this new and turbulent land. The daughter of the Vice President  she is privy to a lot of secrets about the government and is used to being a pawn but being taken hostage has really shaken her world .

Is she safe with Matthias and Defiance? Or will she find herself being sold out? One thing is certain if Matthias has a choice Jessas is staying with him!There are a lot of books recently about motorcycle clubs and the hard but protective men who form them. This series is slightly different from the rest as not only is it set in a futuristic and dangerous world but it's a new adult romance . This author knows how to hook her readers and writes stories that have many layers that keep the reader entranced. Dark and gritty with amazingly hot characters this book is a fabulous addition to the series. Loved the strong hero Matthias although it took me a while to connect with Jessa. As for Bishop well that guy deserves his own book and I sincerely hope it's soon!I'm not usually a huge fan of young adult books but with so much going on in this world that Ms Tyler has created it has to be a five from me!
