I would like to say that I'm captivated, but I think I’m also torn, shocked to say the least, and I’m taking calming breaths in effort of controlling my spiraling thoughts. In the 500+ books I’ve read, not one took my breath away like this one. This ending will…well, you read the book and find out.The blurb states that this book contains sex, rape, etc and to proceed with reader discretion. Luckily I threw caution to the wind…this book is SSSOOOOO much more. This book pulled the emotional rug out from under my feet and now I think I have whiplash. It’s bold, and not for the weak, love sap heart; this is not a perfect fairy tale, it’s a messed up fairy tale that you do not want to miss!!!I’m not going to dive into each character. It’s blatant that this book is about an MC club, so expect the women to be sassy badasses, and the men to rough, tattooed, and SEXY. Expect a rough crowd, illegal acts, endless booze and a variety pack of whores.But this book also made me ponder…I have always wondered about the control we have on our feelings; this story makes me wonder harder. I mean, we may know what makes us happy; spring flowers on a sunny day, scratchy ‘good mornings’ from our lovers, sappy love songs, but do we actually choose these feelings or are they automatic, embedded in our genes. I think all women DREAM of a man like Hem and Shame; the man who can remove evil from our lives, and the man who loves and protects unconditionally. Mace, Shame’s girl, felt pressure to choose a man who was safe, predictable, but her heart always belonged to Shame. Without Shame she felt incomplete. Shame took my breath away with his voiceless method of communicating with Mace; the body language, the touch, it’s priceless. Hem is stubborn and mouthy, but when he loves it’s 110%. These men are selfless, and far between. This is a true love that drives us to do unexpected things. I’m not sure we pick what/who makes us happy, so I suggest following your heart. Roses aren’t always red, diamonds aren’t always shiny, and the white picket fence doesn’t automatically grant you happily ever after.
