Only by losing my freedom, did I realize I was never free at all.

 

My father, the president of the Fallen Aces MC, sent me away to save me from a cold-blooded fate handed down by a tyrannical drug lord. Now, over a year later, my brother has come to take me home.


Only it doesn’t feel like home anymore.

I’m lost, wandering familiar yet foreign halls as I try to work out what my purpose is in this club. What can I offer the people who sacrificed so much to save me? I need a guiding light, something to get me on the right path. Or someone.

Someone like him.

A cocky, playful ladies man, Dog is nothing like what I thought I’d ever need. But as he strips the colors from his back, and reveals the true brilliance of the ones below, I can’t help but fall in love with the overbearing yet guarded man.

He’s guaranteed to break my heart, yet here I stand with it in my hands, offering him all I have left.

All that I am.

Maybe I’m not supposed to survive after all?

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

This is the 5th book in the series it can be read as a stand-a-lone but highly suggest you download the previous 4 and catch up. I enjoyed the chemistry between Mel and Dog. My heart went out to Mel watching her struggle with her place and where she fit in then to see the other side to Dog than just the cocky playboy had me in aww.

How does a woman who has been on her own in the deep woods get back to the life she once knew over a year later? Mel is trying to wrap her brain around the loss of her Daddy and sister while the only family she has left, her brother, is missing. She is struggling to be in a place that brings back so many memories and also trying to figure out who she is these days.  Mel is no longer the woman she use to be and she feels she no longer has a place with the Club. But what she does know is she is she feels something when around Dog but Dog is Dog and how can she trust her heart to a man that has repeatedly shown that he is a love’em and leave’em time. Mel knows she deserves more that than and Dog has to show her that he does not think of her the same way he does the others. Dog has to show her she is someone special.

The side that Mel brings out in Dog is incredible. He shows her a side that no one has ever seen or knows. He is amazingly patient with her and when he thinks she is in trouble he comes running. It amazes me how well he knows Mel, he knows she is strong and helps her figure out who the real Mel is and what she means to the Club.

I loved the slow building relationship between Mel and Dog and how Dog opens up to her. My favorite scenes are the one where we see a different side of Dog and the shopping/hunting scene. I have to say I am excited to see what Max Henry has instore for us next.

A few of my favorites:

“I wouldn’t have picked that. Didn’t they call you something else before you got your road name?” “Shithead. Grunt. Pisshole. Kid.” I smirk. “Take your pick. Nobody actually knew my name.”

“I don’t know how to do this,” he calls through the darkness, his voice hoarse. “I don’t know how to be serious with someone. But you make me want to learn, Mel. You’d be worth giving this up for.”

 “Don’t be angry at me, babe.” He staggers right, jamming a boot out awkwardly to regain his balance. “I’m a jerk when I’m him.” He points to the cut, groaning as he sinks to his knees. “He’s an idiot,” he says, slurring his words a little. “A fuckin’ idiot. But this guy,” he pounds his chest twice with closed fists, “he only wanted to see you smile.” His words die off, his voice weakening as he sags on his knees, his head almost touching the ground. “He loves your smile,” Dog whispers. No, scratch that. Koen whispers.
“You listen up good, Mel, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once.” Dog runs a finger along my jaw, a thumb over my lips. “You never owe a man anythin’, got it? If you don’t want to do it—don’t. And if a man ever makes you feel bad for that” —he shakes his head and sighs—“well he ain’t much of a man, then, is he?”
A year in solitude has done nothing to dampen this woman’s spirit. She might have been unsure and out of sorts when she first got back, but as the weeks have gone by she’s simply gone from strength to strength. She’s every bit the born leader she professes not to be. A warrior’s heart packed into one spitfire of a package. Perfection.

Max is the author of dark, and highly emotional romance. Her Butcher Boys series is centered around a group of ex-street kids who have teamed up with an indebted motorcycle club to take down a notorious drug lord. And her new series, the Fallen Aces MC, is a spin-off from this dark and dangerous world. Her writing has been described as ‘gripping’, and ‘addictive’, taking you on an ’emotional roller coaster ride’.

Originally born and bred in New Zealand, Max now resides with her family in beautiful and sunny Queensland, Australia. Life with two young children can be hectic at times, and although she may not write as often as she would like, Max wouldn’t change a thing. When she’s not engrossed in her dark and twisted fictional worlds, she can be found enjoying the outdoors while 4wd-ing with her family.
