Review: A lot darker than I had anticipated.

I love reading MC books because they are always so intense but at the same time we always discover a sweet, soft side in the story. Whether it be in the alpha male or between the love that the hero and heroine share. I’m always a big fan whichever way it goes. I am especially interested when the esteemed Bella Jewel comes out with another MC book- because I swear to you all that her MC series is one of the best out there. I couldn’t get enough of those 3 books.Angels in Leather was a lot darker than I had anticipated. Axel, is an absolutely haunted and messed up man. Unable to get past a traumatizing time in his life, he has become monstrous in his sexual preferences and has closed himself off to any sort of emotional feelings- aside from vengeance. He lives and breathes with that one thing in mind, revenge. However, his one and only plan soon becomes hazy when Meadow becomes involved. The heroine is hard edged and at the same time, very naive and sweet. In all her growing years, she has only been living to survive. I felt so bad for her character. I thought that Bella did a great job with her. She allowed her readers to see Meadows vulnerability amidst her kick ass persona.There were lot of cat and mouse scenes between Axel and Meadow– quite literally. Running, kicking, punching, screaming were what fell out of this book pinata. I got to a point where I had internally say a prayer to the book gods to please, just let him catch her. I thought a lot of really promising scenes and dialogue between the characters were lost. I had absolutely zero to “highlight” in my Kindle because this book lacked any quote worthy parts. I was shocked at the end of the book when I searched my notes portion and came up empty. Bella Jewel’s books have always inspired me to create teasers/memes because of her way with words, she is top notched, her ability to turn a bikers words into something that one would never expect. Axel and Meadow’s love story was missing this sort of inspiration for me.For those who enjoy naughty and dirty romps, men in leather, and the sounds of motorcycles, then I do think that you would enjoy this book. This however did fall short for me, especially having experienced this author’s previous books. Bella Jewel’s work is always a gem to read and I continue to support her upcoming works.Full review here: [...]
