Rated 4.5 starsTru is the daughter of Hugh, the main Enforcer at Defiance MC.  Because of Hugh and the other bikers respect of him  Tru is treated differently to other women.  She is treated like a princess but nobody knows how Hugh beats Tru's mother or how one night he beats and tries to rape Tru.  Tru has had enough and with help from Casper another Defiance member Tru leaves the MC to make a life of her own.Known as the Chaos there is a meteor strike on Earth and terrible storms rage for months on end blocking out all of daylight.  Communications go down and the world changes into one of crime where woman are treated badly and gangs rule.  Tru turns to a rival MC called the Kill Devils for protection and because of Hugh's legacy the leader Padraic takes her in.Tru is safe and fine whilst her father is alive but when news reaches them that he has died Padraic asks to be bonded to Tru.  A woman can't say no to a bonding but Tru does therefore humiliating Padraic. She is returned to Defiance where Padriac demands that the MC rape and murder her or face war. Tru hands her fate to Casper the guy who let her leave Defiance in the first place and he has only days to decide whether Tru is worth going to war for.  The book starts with Tru being dropped off at Defiance by the Kill Devils.I love post apocalyptic books and I love bad ass biker books so imagine how happy I was when a friend of mine recommended Defiance to me.  For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed Defianace but I did have some gripes.I would have liked more detail on the post apocalyptic side of things.  This was a bit light and I didn't get the feeling of desperation and chaos that would ensue such a catastrophe.  So if the post apocalyptic storyline is putting you off reading this book then please don't let it as Defiance reads more as a Contemporary Romance book than anything else.There is quite a bit of abuse towards women both as part of being in a MC and part of the post Chaos world.  There is nothing hugely graphic about it but I did have a bit of an issue with it.I found parts of the book confusing you are thrown straight into this book, hence why I gave my own synopsis to give you a helping hand.  So pay attention when reading as you may miss bits and later on wonder what is happening. I did this and had to backtrack a couple of times.I really liked the characters.  Casper is super alpha male and his one word dialogue reminded me lots of Kristen Ashley's alpha males.  The next book is about Mathias one of the secondary characters in book 1 which I will definitely be reading.  I highly recommend Defiance and I am giving it 4.5 stars.
