Winter Belov was the sweet innocent one in her crime family, the dutiful daughter that never disappointed her father. One day, her father does the unspeakable. When he turns his back, Winter flees across the country, taking her life savings with her, determined never to enter that sort of lifestyle again.
No longer innocent, she now lives in Nevada. Lana is her best friend and the only family Winter has. Together, they are two of the best exotic dancers in the county. While working a shift, Pyro, Lana’s long time crush, propositions Winter. He begs her to do a private gig at Breakneck. She accepts, with the condition that Lana dances with her.
When Winter’s eyes lock with Braxxon Breaker's, the President of Breakneck, she realizes she is no longer free; she has been seized. He is everything she is running from but at the same time, everything she wants. Braxxon will not take no for an answer, and purposely disrupts Winter’s life.
Rivals of Braxxon’s club are vicious and they do something that will have him out for blood. Winter's and Braxxon’s relationship is anything but a normal one. If they want to be together, crimes must be committed, friendships will be broken and people are going to die.
What happens when all that chaos mixes with Winter’s father locating her? It will be a bloodshed when Winter and Braxxon seek revenge and take no prisoners.

WHAT! THE! FUUUUUUUCK??????
DNF (had to stop @ 33%)
Note from the author:
Dear Readers, you will have questions all throughout this novel; those questions will be answered as you continue to read Seize Me.
I only have two:
1. Do you know a good editor?
2. What the fuck were you thinking??
I doubt these questions were answered later in the book but I guess I will never know since I'd rather re-read "Thoughtless" than finish this "gem" ...
Once again I feel like I read a completely different book from everyone else ... feel free to forward me the 4 - 5 star version of it any time now.
I really really really wanted to love this as much as most of the readers on GR but I coudn't even get into it ... Love it? Forgetaboutit! From the 1/3 of the book that I managed to get through, you could tell that, even though it had potential, a whole lotta something was missing. There is nothing worst than going into a book having high expectations only to find out it sucks. I'll even say it in Russian for you: "Eta kniga prosto govno!" ("This book is shit!")
Braxxon's character (or his description anyways) was the best part of the book but that alone was not enough keep me going.
I think I've been ruined by Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series so when it comes to raunchy biker romance, nothing even comes close. You can't blame other authors for trying though ... after all, it's one of the hottest genres out there right now. I wish some of these "authors" would A: get a good editor & B: get a clue that it takes a lot more than sex, drugs and multiple use of words such as "cock" and "pussy" to succeed in writing a good story. JMHO.
I will NOT be reading the next book in this series.
*** I hope this NEVER comes out in print because I would hate for any trees to die for this

3.5 bad ass biker stars!!!
Intense. Raw. F@cked up. Gritty. Crazy. Hot. I think that pretty much sums it up. If you don’t love biker books, and you can’t handle reading about the darker side of their life, this one probably isn’t for you. If you do enjoy those types of reads like I do, this may be your next good read!
Winter’s life has changed dramatically. After watching her boyfriend get shot in the head by her own father, she leaves her old life behind. She is now living with her best friend Lana and stripping. It’s her life to live and she enjoys it. Winter is a bad ass. She takes no shit from anyone. Loved that about her. Winter and Lana take a private job stripping for the MC’s prez’s 30th birthday. Winter’s never met the prez, but once he see’s her, he has to have her. And he always gets what he wants.
Braxxon wants Winter. There is something about this woman he has to have. He knows she is different. What surprises Winter is how much she want’s Braxx. This isn’t a life she wants to be a part of, but Braxx has done something to her.
There is A LOT of hotness in this book!
There is also a lot of conflict and A TON of drama! So much happens in the story line- you just have to read it for yourself. I laughed a few times, cried a few times, it had some sweet moments, disturbing moments, and some sexy sexy hot moments! I just love me some biker books!
The bikers were bad ass, but the true bad ass of the story was Winter herself. What a heroine! And Braxxon- I just loved him! Yum! I love a good biker alpha male! There were definitely some moments where I was like ‘WTF did I just read?’, but that was to be expected. There were some super hot scenes, some heartbreaking scenes, and a lot of messed up scenes. As I said before, the biker lifestyle isn’t for everyone... if you can’t handle books with drug use, violence, cheating etc, this probably isn’t your cuppa. I, however, enjoyed it very much.
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars... I had trouble with the insta-love between Braxx and Winter at first. It took me a minute to connect with them. Overall- An entertaining read! I’m excited for the next installment, I really liked ZZ in this book!
Thanks to my book twin for recommending this book ;) You are awesome and you have great taste- since its pretty much the same as mine! lol

Sorry, but I was done at "Prosto yebat' menya"
No one that speaks Russian should read this book....EVER. It will drive you up the wall, batshit crazy.
I love biker books, and I've been curious about this one since a GR friend told me the heroine is Russian. But at the same time I've been avoiding it because nothing bothers me more than inaccuracies in portrayals of different nationalities.
I've been skimming a few pages here and there but never got into it. Finally yesterday, I decided to give it a go and try to read it through
Here's the thing, google translate is NOT a good resource. Sometimes something that has one meaning in English, has an ENTIRELY different meaning in another language.
NONE of the Russian phrases were correct. In fact they were so far off, I didn't know whether to laugh hysterically or throw my kindle at the wall in frustration.
Here's some Russian 101
"VY": Is a polite form of address to a senior, a stranger, or anyone in formal situations
As to the phrase: "Vy skhuatili menya" (You've seized me)
I have just one question: Skhuatili za shto? (Grabbed your what?)
This phrase DOES NOT have the same meaning in Russian. Not even close. It does not directly translate and means something very different.

I’ve had this one sitting on my shelf since June and decided to give it a shot this fine early Monday. And while I was reading? Notice how my face changed.
First things first. This book is riddled with typos. I don't know if there's a more recent version out, but my copy I bought in June is filled with errors and grammatical mistakes. As an English major, this bothers me A LOT.
Next, what is up with the insta-love? These are bikers we're talking about here!! Insta-love and MC club should NOT be in the same sentence for goodness sake. Not to mention how much I dislike insta-love.
***PLOT SPOILER***
So Braxxon decides that Winter is his "angel," now and always. Forever. Fine. Then why is that you have a chick sucking your dick and watching two other skanks going at it at the same time?
And then she gets kidnapped by the other MC and is about to get raped/murdered and she yells out GUMMY BEARS?????????? What the ever living crap?
Aside from all this, there was no relationship development so I couldn't even fucking see how they could love each other so quickly. If you're gonna write about MCs and their harsh, gritty reality, give me exactly that. I don't want a half-baked biker book!
SO NOT a good start to my Monday!!!

This is me NOT bashing the author or story. This is me giving MY honest opinion. It's a to each his own book world and this book as you will see didn't work for me. If it worked for you, kuddos to you. Now some might say, Spoiler Whore, if you didn't like it why did you continue reading it? Here's me telling you why. I see there are 4 and 5 star reviews and I think to myself, really? Did they not read what I just read? But then I tell myself it's to each his own. Whatever floats your boat that kind of thing. Also, I wanted to know where the author was going with the story and how it would end. I give applause that there was no cliffhanger cause oh how I've been loathing them but the ending was very abrupt. Too abrupt. No epilogue. The story kept my attention that's for sure even at times I wanted to give up cause of the ridiculousness of it. Now some might say, Spoiler Whore, did you not read the warning? Of course I did. That's what got my attention along with the cover which I think is very pretty and the synopsis which I thought was promising. I had no problems with the contents to the warnings though sometimes they were harsh. My problem is that it was way too much and it was like the author just jumbled all the angst and shock factor you could find and throw it all in one book.
I won't be delving into the story or characters cause I couldn't care less about any of it. I didn't get the main characters or the story line. I just didn't get it. Once again it was too much. When I read a book I like to somewhat connect to someone in a story and I didn't connect to anyone. That's one of the reasons I didn't care for the story. The other reasons I will not name cause I'm being nice. The only thing I liked about the book was a character named Shadow even though we don't know much about him. Yet. Other than that I got nothing else to say. *shrugs shoulders*
I'm never one to say do not read a book. That's not how I work. Go ahead and read it and if it works for you, Yay! Will I read the second book? Yes. Why you ask? I'm a glutton for punishment. Ha! No seriously, I'm willing to give the author another try plus like I said I'm interested in Shadow and I want to know more about him.
Here were some of my moments while reading the book:
Oh come on! Seriously!?!
Fucking idiot
Dayyyum
Ewwww
What the fuck is this I'm reading?

This shit gets stars???
I just can't with this book.
The plot was all over the fucking place.
Multiple 1% MCs, Russians, Mexican Gangs, drug trade
...and a secret gold mine.
Fuck...did any one else tell you about this shit? No. Cuz they thought it was so fucking ridiculous they imagined it.
H coerces h to snort coke (she's a very light user so it's not like it's her first time...don't worry, rant coming). She doesn't want to but she feels obligated because it's the H's b-day and he's the MC Prez. She's blindfolded and naked in his bed already so she's not exactly in a position to argue. She agrees to one bump but he gives her three bumps at one time. Now, I have no idea visually or physically how this shit is possible, but I totally get how this is forced drug use. I have no problem with others' recreational usage, that's not my job, and it's their life. But intentionally getting someone addicted to drugs, or introducing someone to drugs, or forcing them to use drugs...such a no-no of gargantuan proportions I can't even find the words to express it concisely. Mind you, this is seconds after the H forced the h to tell him why she's been celibate for 9 months (she saw her lover executed by her father)...the H then snorts coke off her "tit" without her permission cuz, you know, she's naked and blindfolded in his bed.
Bet you're fucking stunned out of your mind I didn't DNF this bitch right there.
Its an MC Marathon with the sis-in-laws and there's really only one rule. (Because of me...2 years ago..they're smart these girls) So that rule, NO DNF'ing two books in a row. I guess you figured out why this is a problem for me, I DNF'd the last...at 85%...but that's not good enough for these bitches. A DNF is a DNF with them. Period. Believe me, I tried.
20% The H gets the h fired and as her punishment for not returning his texts/calls he purposefully sets up a foursome with 3 club-hos so she can catch him getting a BJ.
At 33% the h is raped graphically...pretty much violating her body in the worst way you can imagine. The MC gets to her right after the last guy raped her.
At 52 % - H fucks an ex, 1 of 3 women he's ever cared about...one he describes as hot as fuck and is thrilled as hell to fuck. Which he does with great excitement leading up to it. Granted, he immediately feels wrong, but he pretty much went into the deal to hurt the h for telling him he can fuck the OW. She's feeling majorly fucked up over the rape and guilty she can't pleasure him cuz she's been raped so severely Doc told her 8 weeks before sex. The H/h have been sleeping together, as in asleep, for 2 months in the same bed every night. The H/h have a moment while he's taking the OW up to THEIR (H/h) bedroom and he still fucks the OW. This is a chick he describes as beautiful and has a fond second remembering her in a sexual way the moment he sees her in his POV.
He. Is. Irredeemable.
Period.
And the h never fucking says shit.
I mean, it NEVER comes up.
And she KNOWS.
Now, I get this is badass biker bitch shit, but, turning the realz on for a minute...the whole situation is wrong on multiple levels. So, I guess I'm just not badass biker bitch enough to forgive my man for fucking his ex-love cuz I'm too fucked up in the head over being raped and not being able to achieve an orgasm and offer him a freebie. Is it wrong to think he should have been alpha biker badass in love with his perfect match and TURNED DOWN the offer and not become Mr. Asshole McCheaty Pants??
I didn't think so.
I know you Ladies have my back.
At 61% the H loses his shit cuz his VP's been shot and he calls the villain, meanwhile the h is trying to keep the VP conscious by "sweet talking" him and making him his fave drink...so to get even with the h cuz she's acting like a Prez's old lady by helping him when his VP's been shot the H drags a clubwhore behind the bar (who reminds him he loves the h) and demands she gives him a BJ. Which she does.
Irredeemable.
Just no fucking words.
The h responds by sucking down some blow and straddling his half-brother and licking his neck.
Maybe these people are perfect for each other and I should just stop giving a fuck.
I. Need. Groveling.
Sorry (not).
I guess I'm ok with her stripper status since all the H's friends get to see her naked.
Maybe I'm just gonna DNF this and not tell the sis-in-laws.
Mass skimming to get to 100%
81% the h's only reference to the H's major fuck up....and this is all she says >>> “Last time this bitch was here, you fucked her. She’s one of your three, so don’t fucking Angel me!”
86% I've decided the badass biker bitches in this book should be running the fucking MC. This shit is ridiculous.
I don't even care I DNF'd this. I may revolt in the rest of this fucking MC marathon if it doesn't get better soon :/
I think it's time for a hate-read so I can't get my head together and move on ;)
And do not get me started on the Russian translation...

ABSOLUTELY FANFUCKINGTASTIC!!
Hells bells this book was AMAZING!!!
This book crept up on me out of nowhere! I'd not heard of it just last night when it popped up on my feeds and I thought..hmmmm... this sounds pretty good. I LOVE biker books and this one called out to me immediately. Well, I started it and couldn't put it down. Stayed up until 1AM reading then had to force myself to put it down. Finished next morning. This book is gritty and no holds barred... there's no rainbows or sunshine. This is some serious crazy shit. Do not go into this book with an aversion to rape scenes or drugs and alcohol. This is honestly one of the most bad assed biker books I've ever read. The heroin, Winter, is definitely my favorite chic from any biker book ever. This woman is one bad ass bitch. I think I actually loved her more that Braxxon, the prez of the MC Breakers and her man.
Braxx is your typical bad ass hot biker but he's pretty young for a president.. just 30 years old..he took over the MC after his old man died.
Meet Braxx
Winter, stage name Star, she's an exotic dancer. She's also a Russian mafia princess on the run from her psychotic father. She moved to the other side of the country to get away from him and his evilness. She's beautiful and she's as tuff as they come. This lady has ice in her vains and doesn't mind getting blood on her hands. She grew up around it after all...
Meet Winter..
Winter and Braxx meet when the club hires her and her best friend Hazel to dance for the prez at the club for his birthday as a surprise. When Braxx lays eyes on Winter he's floored...when she takes her stiletto off and shoves it heel first into the crotch of one of his prospects for grabbing her, he is hooked. He's got to have her. They hook up and both like exactly what they got and want more of it.
With rival MC's and eventually the Russian mafia in the picture..things are never easy for Braxx and Winter. Winter goes through some of the worst shit ever.......but nothing can break her. When she decides on revenge... let me just say that I've never read a chic more bad ass than Winter. I love this woman. She is larger than life and she actually eclipse's Braxxon's star power in this book for me. Don't get me wrong.. Braxxon was hot ( although I really wanted to jump in my kindle and beat his ass a few times) but Winter is so fucking awesome. I want to know this woman!! I want to go out and get drunk and hang with this bad ass bitch. She is AMAZING!!!
The story of Braxxon and Winter, although not pretty by any means.. does manage to have some very sweet moments. Braxxon is so hard and gritty, but Winter owns him heart and soul and it's very obvious. He can't hide how he feels no matter how big a pussy he feels his actions are at times. He knows how special Winter is.. she's his perfect match in all ways.
She’s my Winter for my hottest summer days. She’s the Angel for my hell. I will never leave her. She will have to do the leaving and even if she did leave, she’d still own every single inch of me.
I loved every single minute of this book.. it was crazy, it was intense, it was hot, it was depressing, it was... shit.. this book was just everything. When it comes down to it.. this is a must read.. a for sure MUST read for anyone that loves the gritty stuff.. If you're a fan of Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series..then you will LOVE this book. Trust me...
What could make it even better???? We get an HEA at the end! Although there wasn't an epilogue..they end happy.. and also.. we got another book coming! But it's not Braxxon and Winter, although I'm sure they will be present..the next one is about ZZ and Storm. ZZ is another club member and Storm is the manager of Winter's new exotic dancer club. I have a feeling their story is going to be just as awesome and I for one cannot fucking wait!
Crystal Spears gained a fan in me with this book.. it grabbed hold of me on page one and didn't let go till the end. Hell, it still is holding a piece of me it was that good. I'll be doing a re-read of this one most definitely.
Don't let this gem pass you up if your thinking about it!!!
Hells bells this book was AMAZING!!!
This book crept up on me out of nowhere! I'd not heard of it just last night when it popped up on my feeds and I thought..hmmmm... this sounds pretty good. I LOVE biker books and this one called out to me immediately. Well, I started it and couldn't put it down. Stayed up until 1AM reading then had to force myself to put it down. Finished next morning. This book is gritty and no holds barred... there's no rainbows or sunshine. This is some serious crazy shit. Do not go into this book with an aversion to rape scenes or drugs and alcohol. This is honestly one of the most bad assed biker books I've ever read. The heroin, Winter, is definitely my favorite chic from any biker book ever. This woman is one bad ass bitch. I think I actually loved her more that Braxxon, the prez of the MC Breakers and her man.
Braxx is your typical bad ass hot biker but he's pretty young for a president.. just 30 years old..he took over the MC after his old man died.
Meet Braxx
Winter, stage name Star, she's an exotic dancer. She's also a Russian mafia princess on the run from her psychotic father. She moved to the other side of the country to get away from him and his evilness. She's beautiful and she's as tuff as they come. This lady has ice in her vains and doesn't mind getting blood on her hands. She grew up around it after all...
Meet Winter..
Winter and Braxx meet when the club hires her and her best friend Hazel to dance for the prez at the club for his birthday as a surprise. When Braxx lays eyes on Winter he's floored...when she takes her stiletto off and shoves it heel first into the crotch of one of his prospects for grabbing her, he is hooked. He's got to have her. They hook up and both like exactly what they got and want more of it.
With rival MC's and eventually the Russian mafia in the picture..things are never easy for Braxx and Winter. Winter goes through some of the worst shit ever.......but nothing can break her. When she decides on revenge... let me just say that I've never read a chic more bad ass than Winter. I love this woman. She is larger than life and she actually eclipse's Braxxon's star power in this book for me. Don't get me wrong.. Braxxon was hot ( although I really wanted to jump in my kindle and beat his ass a few times) but Winter is so fucking awesome. I want to know this woman!!

Meh...
I can't really say I liked it but can't say I hated it either.
I expected the MC to be a bit more badass, especially since she grew up in this environment.
This is one of those hard to rate books, it had some stuff that I enjoyed but, on the other hand, it had a lot of stuff that was pretty bad, IMO.
I don't really like cheating in my books. I can understand it sometimes, I just don't particularly enjoy it. Some could say that Brax didn't really do it, but ah well, what he did was enough in my book.
Yeah, maybe this is a more realistic MC book, but frankly, I don't really care. I'm not reading autobiography books here.
Still, it held my interest enough for me to want to finish it and the writing was pretty good, so it deserves 3 stars in my book.

I don't typically write reviews from this account. As a rule I try and keep it neutral--but when I come across a book that is STILL stuck in my head weeks after finishing it...well, that one deserves the praise.
This book is about as perfect as it gets when I imagine a MC in my mind. Crystal holds nothing back and I mean nothing, but that is the pure and fucking beauty of this book. It's dark, raw, gritty and so brilliant.
My advice, read this book. But, please pay attention to the author warning. She does a wonderful job making sure the warning is visible on protect pages AND in the very front of the book. I've seen books in the past get negative reviews because the warning was missed. You can not miss this one, but do not skip it. Personally, when reading, I have no hot buttons. There isn't anything I won't read (unless it has no HEA or no planned HEA). Luckily for me this book has a HEA and no cliffhanger.
Okay, I could go on and on about this book but the point is you need to read it and fall in love with the book (and Braxxon!!!!).

**2.5 stars**
Winter is running from her Russian mafia past. Her heart was broken when her mafia dad murdered her boyfriend in front of her. Winter saw her chance to escape and never looked back.
Braxxon is the Prez of MC. A birthday lap dance preformed by Winter begins their crazy love tail.
I started losing interest for the story when 'insta-love' happened after their first meeting.
I do love my crazy motorcycle books but this one didn't work for me. I know I'm in the minority in my rating for this book. Don't let this review deter you from reading it because a lot of my friends gave it 5 stars.

Re-read
I originally read this book in 2013 and I loved it, gave it 5 stars and everything. It happened to come across my feed tonight and I decided that I would do a re-read while and that something a little dark and gritty would be perfect for my mood. Well, sadly it wasn't.
This is one of those books that just show you how much your tastes can change. I didn't re-read more than half of the book before giving up and admitting to myself that this just isn't for me anymore. It wasn't as intriguing as I remembered and I the characters were getting on my nerves. Maybe it's because I've read way more books in this genre since 2013 and have higher expectations now, but whatever the reason I just didn't enjoy this re-read.
I found Braxxon and Winters relationship completely ridiculous this time around and couldn't handle them for the rest of the book. I had to stop before I completely lost my mind. I guess I didn't mind in 2013 that there wasn't much romance in this story, but now all I was doing was asking myself where the love is? Their relationship was too quick and seemed too immature for me.
I'm keeping my 5 star rating on the original read, but my re-read only gets a 2 star. I will never discourage people from reading a book so I still say try this one if you're a fan of the darker stories with the very messed up characters. The darkness is what originally drew me in to doing a re-read, and hopefully that darkness will work for everyone else.

Um...just...NO. No, No, No!
DNF at 40% & I think I only got that far because I'm crazy.
I would love to explain myself, but I won't go back to read the rest of the book in order to do it.
Take books like Undeniable, Club Justice and Reaper's Property, which have all sort of been shadowed by the popularity of Motorcycle Man(which is by no means the 1st of MC drama fiction). These books at least had..."something", like actual reason and some technique.
Seize Me was like playing musical plots. At every stop of the music, the focus would change or something random would be nonsensically thrown in, while at the same time something (usually important like giving background or character building) would be left out!

***WARNING FROM AUTHOR *** This novel contains explicit language, sex, drugs, abuse and sexual situations.
I love hot biker books that are dark, shocking, intense, and even repulsive. I read the author’s warning, which is why I wanted to read this book. I love being pushed out of my comfort zone. But I had big issues with the way the story is executed.
Winter Belov’s family is the Russian mafia. The Russian princess fell in love with one of her father’s men and then was forced to watch her father put a bullet in his head. Heartbroken and mentally broken, the first opportunity she gets, she runs away with her lifesavings. Winter becomes an exotic dancer in Las Vegas, determined to never fall back into that kind of lifestyle ever again. She lives with her best friend, Lana, who is also an exotic dancer. They were both working one night when Pyro, the VP of the Breakneck MC, propositions Winter. He wants her to perform for the MC President on his birthday. Winter accepts and takes Lana with her.
Meeting Braxxon Breaker was everything Winter didn’t want in her life. He’s a manwhore, sexy as sin, and a criminal who runs drugs and will torture and kill his enemies. But her fate was sealed the moment she laid eyes on the very sexy, very alpha, very dangerous man who makes her pulse pound, her knees weak with lust, and her panties wet. The same goes with Braxxon. The moment he saw the sexy, golden-eyed erotic dancer in angel wings, he knew he was never letting his Angel go. Ever.
Life in the MC is a ruthless and dangerous world full of whores, drugs, guns, and enemies. The Breakers have a rival MC, who wants to take over the Breakers territory because it's loaded with wealth. That is not the only reason the rival gang wants the land. Vengeance factors into their reasons too. So, when Lana and Winter were on the way to the club to perform, they broke down in enemy territory and Pyro had to come rescue them on Snake’s turf. What happens from here? Well, the shit hits the fan. This couple goes through hell and pretty much stays there with all of the unfortunate events that happen… kidnapping, rape, bloodshed, revenge, betrayal, cheating, grief, and heartbreak.
It’s hard for me to write this review because I didn’t completely hate this story, but I didn’t love it either. Unfortunately, this story has a lot of flaws that really stood out and made it hard for me to completely enjoy it. The tone of the story didn’t really match the heavy subjects that happened in it. Some of the dialogue felt immature and silly. It all felt so rushed and overwhelming. The events in this book happened way to fast. I wish the events that happened in this story were stretched out over a longer length of time.
This relationship has a bad case of insta-love. I didn’t really understand what made this couple fall for each other so fast. The relationship needed development. The plot was so full of drama and violence that there was no room for relationship development. There was no room for characterization. I’m not sure any relationship that starts out the way this one did could’ve withstood the horrible events Winter was subjected to. Yes, she did survive it. She came out a stronger woman because of it. The woman we were first introduced to in the beginning of the story was no more. Winter became a bad ass biker chick. I admired her for it. But I had a hard time believing in this relationship and the events that happened afterwards felt unrealistic.
Seize Me is full of crazy, very dramatic, extremely violent, and hot and steamy. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride that is entertaining if you can overlook some of the flaws. While I had many issues with this story, I still think this story has great potential. I liked the MC world Crystal Spears has created. I liked the characters. I especially liked one character in particular named Shadow. He has sparked my interest and I do want to read his story.

4.5 stars
It was love-lust at first sight when Braxxon see’s Winter dancing on the pole, he knew that this was it, she was his and he’d be damned if she tries to getaway. Winter ran away from a dangerous home, and she is doing everything she can to never go back to that kind of life, unfortunately she has no choice because once she locks eyes with those grey eyes "my mind, body, and soul are assaulted, I know that I’ll never be the same ever again. Braxxon has seized me, and something tells me he isn’t letting me go."
This is definitely a book you just have to jump in and experience, there is no other way to describe or even try and summarize all that happened in this book, it was non-stop there was always something going on, so many WTF moments that I was sucked in from the very beginning. Breakneck is not a cookie—cutter MC , they are raw, gritty and won’t think twice about getting their hands dirty. Braxx was a perfect alpha bad-boy and Winter she was amazing, I totally had a lady boner for her. I wish it was longer, but I’ll take what I can, and just wait patiently for the rest of this new biker world.
*******************************************
Just in case the her warning wasn’t enough, because I will tell you know, this book will not be for everyone, so if you have issues anything in her warning, stay away and save yourself the trouble of getting offended or disturbed.
A letter from the Author
Dear Readers,
You will have questions all throughout this novel; those questions will be answered as you continue to read Seize Me. I would also like to warn you that I did not hold back on any details with certain aspects of writing this novel and some areas might be difficult for you to read. I wanted to make my fictitious world gritty, raw, and full of angst. Nothing is held back. So here is my warning before you enter the world of ‘Breakneck’. If you can’t stand reading about drugs, violence, sex, murder, and vengeance, then this isn’t a world for you. It also contains explicit language and some rape scenes. Although I thank you for purchasing my novel, I feel it is my duty to warn you ahead of time.
Sincerely, Crystal Spears

July 12, 2013Ok, DNF this on at 65%
I'm going preface this with the face that MC books are big time hit or miss for me. For instances, while I cannot deny that it was an extremely well written story, I just could not like Undeniable. At the same time, I thought the next book, Unbeautifully was beyond fantastic.
Usually my issues with MC books is because honestly, the lifestyle (and especially the role if women, and the usually rampant infidelity) doesn't work for me at all.
All that said, that wasn't my problem with this story. Oh, all those elements were there - sex, drugs, violence (actually some of the more violent parts were the ones I actually enjoyed). The writing style just didn't work for me at all. It felt odd and stilted in parts. I found myself re reading sentences and rewording them in my head. And then occasionally there were theses somewhat random things thrown in that left me hovering between laughing and WTFing.
Then there was the story. I never understood the connection between Braxton and Winter. It was seriously, an "our eyes met" kind if thing. There is no establishment of the relationship before things start to get crazy, and don't let up for the rest of the book (I did skim to the end). I think it was partially because of that that I honestly didn't care if they got together, lived or died, or whatever. I'm not sure that's ever happened before. (I've rooted against couples before, but I don't think I've ever not cared one way or the other). I mildly disliked both Winter and Brax. Most if the time. I didn't find Winter to be a sympathetic character at all, and Brax acted more like a spoiled child than a thirty year old half the time.
I DO think if you enjoy the whole MC world, and you can find a connection to the main characters its a drama filled ride that might be right up your alley. It just wasn't my 'cuppa.

Hmmmmmmmm. I liked this book and couldn't put it down...however, there were two big pet peeves for me in this one: cheating and physical violence toward women (by the hero against women other than the heroine). Also, there is drug use, so just beware of those things going in. If not for those aspects (especially the cheating and violence) I would have given it more stars, but as I said those are pet peeves for me. I will definitely read the second one though.

July 29, 2013!!Ostanouit'!!
!!STOP!!
This review contains spoilers!
This book is nothing...NOTHING like UnDeniable, UnBeautifully, Motorcycle Man, Reapers Property and so on. Those books are the Sun to where as Seize Me is fuckin' Pluto. Not even close to the brightness and hottness of those books. Seize Me is cold, dead and a long way from being anything but a distant thought. Too harsh? I can't help it. That's how I feel.
At first I gave this book a 1 star rating. Then the more I thought about it, the more I reread my book marks which put me through hell again, I decided to go and settle with 0 stars. Why? Because that's how bad this story is. I know that every book is not for everyone and this one is certainly 100%, no more thinking about it, not gonna happen, not in this lifetime or the next (shit any lifetimes) was and is not for me.
It's not because of the drugs, violence, language and "shock" factors. I love that kinda shit in my books. More the fuckin' merrier! But FUCK ME UPSIDE DOWN WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER DURING A HOT TEXAS SUMMER DAY did this shit not work at all in this book. I felt like it was just thrown in there to try make it "angsty" and "different" from other MC books out there. Well, it succeeded. It's the worst MC book I have ever had the displeasure of reading. If I could, I would go back in time and not pick up this read.
The story had lots of potential but it just didn't hit the high mark that everyone or majority of people seem to be giving it. What am I missing? Are we reading the same book? Did I get a rough draft?
I think to myself "Crystal...could this be a book where friends of the author are giving it so much praise because they are friends with the author?". I also think to myself "Crystal...are people giving this book so many high praises because they are kissing arse to become buddy buddy with the author?". I answer with "I just don't know." Now don't be giving me funny looks because I answered myself because we all have done that once or twice or every fuckin' day in our lives.
I feel that if more time was actually put into the developement of everything; characters, MC life style, the plot, the direction and flow it would have been a great fanfuckingorgasimicbabymaking read.
Throughout the book I kept rolling my eyes, laughing because of the stupidity of what went on or groaning and moaning from what I just read. *Not in the good way*
Things that irked me/had me gagging *again not in a good way*:
*Gummy Bears. WTF! Fuckin' gummy bears?! Guummyy Beeaaaar...I should have stopped reading.
*The name/nicknames of the characters. They did not feel biker-ish. Even the club skanks had horrible names. Examples: CC aka Creamy Crotch. Seriously? *Oh look. There goes my lunch.*
One Prospects nickname is...PP. No lie. It stands for Pervy Prospect. I'm sure another nickname could have been used instead of...PP.
*MC Prez, Braxxon, is a pussy. He is not hardcore. He is not tough. He is a P-U-S-S-Y!!! Oh and fuckin' immature. Why? Because he gets jealous when his instant love at first pole dance sight "lady" takes care of his VP when he gets hurt. Soo what does he do? He goes behind the bar and have a club skank give him a blow job. Riiigghhtt!!!
*Brax tells Winter that he is going to fuck her so raw that every step she takes it's going to feel like her cunt has been rubbed down by sandpaper. Umm excuse me but how is that suppose to be hot or sexy? I do not ever want that feeling down there. If that shit happens you better go see your Gyno asap because I'm sure you just got an unwanted present/visitor.
*Brax tells Winter "I've washed the skank off, Angel," he murmurs low in my ear. I almost choke on my gummy as I suck in a breath.
"So if I were to go down on you later, I wouldn't smell cheap perfume? I ask as I tongue my gummy bear around in my mouth.
He whispers "Never agian, Angel."
Yes that is a real scene from the book.
*At one point Brax feels...giddy. Yup. You read that shit correctly. GIDDY!! FACE PALM
Going to finish off with one more (I could seriously go on and on but I won't.)
*Winter's mom is royalty. She is the princess of the Russian Mafia and her mom is fuckin' royalty. So she only has about $150 Million in her trust fund. I'm crying hard at this point because it just became way WAY too much
If you read this book and liked or loved it then kuddos to you. You read something completely different from what I read. If you get offended about what I posted about giving it high marks b/c you might be a friend or might be kissing arse...I'm sorry. Well maybe. I'm only truly sorry if you truly 100% liked, enjoyed, loved it.
Until Next Time
Happy Reading :)
!!STOP!!
This review contains spoilers!
This book is nothing...NOTHING like UnDeniable, UnBeautifully, Motorcycle Man, Reapers Property and so on. Those books are the Sun to where as Seize Me is fuckin' Pluto. Not even close to the brightness and hottness of those books. Seize Me is cold, dead and a long way from being anything but a distant thought. Too harsh? I can't help it. That's how I feel.
At first I gave this book a 1 star rating. Then the more I thought about it, the more I reread my book marks which put me through hell again, I decided to go and settle with 0 stars. Why? Because that's how bad this story is. I know that every book is not for everyone and this one is certainly 100%, no more thinking about it, not gonna happen, not in this lifetime or the next (shit any lifetimes) was and is not for me.
It's not because of the drugs, violence, language and "shock" factors. I love that kinda shit in my books. More the fuckin' merrier! But FUCK ME UPSIDE DOWN WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER DURING A HOT TEXAS SUMMER DAY did this shit not work at all in this book. I felt like it was just thrown in there to try make it "angsty" and "different" from other MC books out there. Well, it succeeded. It's the worst MC book I have ever had the displeasure of reading. If I could, I would go back in time and not pick up this read.
The story had lots of potential but it just didn't hit the high mark that everyone or majority of people seem to be giving it. What am I missing? Are we reading the same book? Did I get a rough draft?
I think to myself "Crystal...could this be a book where friends of the author are giving it so much praise because they are friends with the author?". I also think to myself "Crystal...are people giving this book so many high praises because they are kissing arse to become buddy buddy with the author?". I answer with "I just don't know." Now don't be giving me funny looks because I answered myself because we all have done that once or twice or every fuckin' day in our lives.
I feel that if more time was actually put into the developement of everything; characters, MC life style, the plot, the direction and flow it would have been a great fanfuckingorgasimicbabymaking read.
Throughout the book I kept rolling my eyes, laughing because of the stupidity of what went on or groaning and moaning from what I just read. *Not in the good way*
Things that irked me/had me gagging *again not in a good way*:
*Gummy Bears. WTF! Fuckin' gummy bears?! Guummyy Beeaaaar...I should have stopped reading.
*The name/nicknames of the characters. They did not feel biker-ish. Even the club skanks had horrible names. Examples: CC aka Creamy Crotch. Seriously? *Oh look. There goes my lunch.*
One Prospects nickname is...PP. No lie. It stands for Pervy Prospect. I'm sure another nickname could have been used instead of...PP.
*MC Prez, Braxxon, is a pussy. He is not hardcore. He is not tough. He is a P-U-S-S-Y!!! Oh and fuckin' immature. Why? Because he gets jealous when his instant love at first pole dance sight "lady" takes care of his VP when he gets hurt. Soo what does he do? He goes behind the bar and have a club skank give him a blow job. Riiigghhtt!!!
*Brax tells Winter that he is going to fuck her so raw that every step she takes it's going to feel like her cunt has been rubbed down by sandpaper. Umm excuse me but how is that suppose to be hot or sexy? I do not ever want that feeling down there. If that shit happens you better go see your Gyno asap because I'm sure you just got an unwanted present/visitor.
*Brax tells Winter "I've washed the skank off, Angel," he murmurs low in my ear. I almost choke on my gummy as I suck in a breath.
"So if I were to go down on you later, I wouldn't smell cheap perfume? I ask as I tongue my gummy bear around in my mouth.
He whispers "Never agian, Angel."
Yes that is a real scene from the book.

Dark. Dangerous. Sensual. Fucked up.
Seize me is crazy read that will take you over the edge of sanity, because nothing in this book is normal or ordinary. Every page bleeds dark emotions and angst that will twist you or even repulse you.
Gritty, raw and full of angst Seize me will hook you from the very first page. You will love it or hate it, because with this novel, there is nothing in between. Before purchasing and reading you have to decide if things like rape, drugs, sex, violence and murder won’t put you off. So READ & LISTEN to the warning! Seize me is very controversial and could be very unpleasant for readers who do not take this issues lightly.
“I know she’s the only one that exist. She was made for me. I need my Angel in Hell.”
Winter Belov comes from criminal family. Broken and psychologically damaged by her father, she decides to run away across the country from the evil, criminal world. Now, she’s trying to live the best way she can. To pay her bills, she becomes an exotic dancer, which leads her to President of MC Breakneck, Braxxon Breaker.
Brexxon wanted Winter from the second he lied his eyes on her magnificent body in angel costume. After that nothing could stop him from having her long legs around his waist. Not even another MC club, Russian mafia or other men. He’s sexy, alpha male, who makes heart beats faster and panties to dampen.
"Ever since that day you danced into my life, I've done nothing but breathed your air. I'd suffocate without you."
After running away from Russian mafia Winter becomes involved in MC problems, which makes her feel trapped all over again, but what could she say no, when sexy President of Breakneck wanted her naked in his bed?
Now they have to deal with everything that is thrown their way and makes their relationship off limits.
Seize me is fantastic read, yet dark and sometimes really unpleasant. There are nasty things that made me slightly uncomfortable, but in the same time they made Spears’s novel more real. Seize me a great mix of criminal world, MC ways and romance, which is incredibly sensual and erotic. Scorching hot scenes make Breakneck world exciting and stimulating.
"How slow," I ask wrapping her legs around my waist and lifting her into my lap, causing her to moan with the change of position.
"So slow I can feel you enter my soul," she whispers.
Overall, every fan of angst or MC should consider Se
ize me a Must Read.

SPOILER-ISH R@YOR
I really hate leaving reviews for books that I didn't enjoy. I always feel like such an asshole..but this book just didn't do it for me..
My deal was I feel like I read this book before, and I was so busy comparing similarities between this book and Undeniable and also a little bit Mystery Man
Things like Gummy bears Reminded me of Gwen with her cookie dough (Mystery Man)only more stupid. your friend gets shot, you kill a man and you NEED Gummy Bears!?
The rape and the converses in a book about bikers...was like Eva in Undeniable.
I didn't like Winter/Star/Angel when I started the book but then after her abduction she turns into a murderer(sadistically so) and a coke whore..I totally get wanting revenge but the was just trying so hard to make Winter a badass and I was just like..
didn't care Braxxon much either..when he got mad at her he messed with other bitches..when Winter couldn't have sex because she was all messed up from getting raped, he goes to another girl..WTF?
There is also alot of shit going on..like a bad action movie, shit was just blowing up everywhere. it was too much and never ending.
Another thing was the fact that theses bitches where trust fund strippers..WTF! seriously?! in Winters case she was a millionaire(when she turned 25)..and Lana also had a trust fund(never said the amount) but they both just stripped because "they loved to dance" ugh! WHAT THE FUCK EVER!
Tatiana book is next but she was so annoying with all her whining in this one I don't know if I will read it.

Reread ... still a 5 star read!
This was a Buddy read in the Biker Babes group.
After reading "Seize Me" (Breakneck, #1) by Crystal Spears, I will say that all the other MC books I've read were tame and gentle reads compared to this one! Sugar coated too!
The author said it best in her letter to readers:
"You will have questions all throughout this novel; those questions will be answered as you continue to read Seize Me. I would also like to warn you that I did not hold back on any details with certain aspects of writing this novel and some areas might be difficult for you to read. I wanted to make my fictitious world gritty, raw, and full of angst. Nothing is held back. So here is my warning before you enter the world of ‘Breakneck’. If you can’t stand reading about drugs, violence, sex, murder, and vengeance, then this isn’t a world for you. It also contains explicit language and some rape scenes. Although I thank you for purchasing my novel, I feel it is my duty to warn you ahead of time."
That letter was simply a honest but frank warning of what was to come while reading "Seize Me." That being said, this gritty book did seize me from the start with the heroine's thought-provoking prologue to the very end of the story. Breakneck was a vivid world of foul language, violence, sex galore, drugs, murder, torture leading to vengeance that will keep both of your brows raised or jaw ticking due to the subject matter but also make you realize that the characters and situations in the story were all valid to the world of 1 percenter's MC.
Heroine, Winter Belov aka Star aka Angel was a mob boss' daughter who fell in love with an employee of her father. When cruel Daddy dearest finds out about their affair, he blows Allen's head away as and that along breaks Winter. After awhile, Winter empties her bank account and flees her father's clutches and begins anew. She finds a job at a stripper joint and finds a bff in Lana aka Hazel who had a major crush on Pyro, a member of Breakneck MC. As a favor to her bff, Lana, she commits to dancing a private party for the Breakneck President, Braxxon Breakneck with Lana. On the way to the Breakneck compound, Lana's car breaks down and Star calls Pyro. From that point on in the story you get angsty T.R.O.U.B.L.E. : "drugs, violence, sex, murder, vengeance"and various cheating moments with gritty details. Not planning on giving any more spoiler but if you are a fan of the 1 percenter's lifestyle, you will be engaged with this book but if the author's letter above upset you, then DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

Where to begin... I liked the story for the most part. I just didn't love the delivery. The first few chapters were executed really well, I was pulled right into the story. But then things started getting rushed, I'm not sure how else to explain it. All of a sudden I was no longer IN the story, it was like I was on the outside looking in and I was only given the highlights. I missed the build between Winter and Braxxon. All of a sudden they're so into each other and completely monogamous, but I just never understood why. Why is this biker, this womanizing noncommittal biker, suddenly ready to be exclusive with this chick he just met. I was missing some information, I felt.
I also thought things went from being good and entertaining to being completely far fetched and outlandish. I didn't buy into who Winter became after the rape, this gun toting demonic crazed person ready to blow the head off anyone who came close. I thought it significantly strayed from believable and real and it kind of lost me. I also thought the cheating went from being dramatic and angsty to just being ridiculous. I love biker books... the curve balls that Madeline Sheehan and Kristen Ashley throw at you when a biker cheats on his old lady, I get that, I love the drama it adds to their story. What Brax and Winter do to each other is ridiculous and absurd and basically just silly. It didn't piss me off in a good way, it pissed me off in the sense that the author could have done better.
I also thought it needed some editing. There were redundancies, and run-ons, and at times just crappy grammar... And I can get past that when it doesn't take away from the story, but this wasn't just bad ass biker lingo, this was just wrong. I caught myself rolling my eyes at times, or wanting to shut the book because of how ridiculous the dialogue got. And don't get me started on the whole "gummy bears" thing... that was seriously her last words she screamed before a brutal sexual assault? I almost shut the book right there, it was so ridiculous.
This was hard for me, because while I liked the story, I liked the characters, I liked the idea behind the story, the delivery was just lacking. It had potential to be a great story, there was just a lot of unnecessary wording and some too-crazy-to-be-believed facets to the story that just took away from it for me. But for some reason I couldn't stop reading. I just hope the next book in the series is developed better, and the author puts more concentration in content and depth of her characters and less on trying to achieve shock value.

This book had two things I hate the most in a book Rape and Cheating and for me that's just too much to handle in one book. The thing is when the male lead was not being an immature d...k he was actually a really sweet guy but then he keeps doing idiotic things and I end up despising him again! The female lead was just annoying I am sorry but from being celibate for so long and then turning into a nympho all of a sudden I just don't get it, def not a book I would read again.

This book simply does not work for me. The characters feel like acting over the top of the plot. The story is interesting but need to be developed further. There are trigger in this book, especially sexual assault. The chemistry between the characters also stiff and off. The author tries to sugar coat it with a lot of sex. But even the sex is shallow.
Simple to say, its just does not work for me.
2 stars

3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
=========================
Reread 2020
I confess that I liked it more this time. I love it when villains get what they deserve. For that reason alone it has already guaranteed 3 stars. Although the hero is a piece of shit that cannot wait for our heroine to recover from rape and to be sodomized by villains. He had to have sex with his ex in their room. Really disgusting. Yuck!
==========================
Read 2013
The cover is beautiful (not resist a beautiful cover) and the theme of the book one of my favorites ... but after reading great books on the subject I found the story with no depth and very predictable.
She picked up a theme of fashion and followed the screenplay: biker bad boy manwhore + stripper traumatized + Russian mobster's daughter + revenge + sex + violent scenes and etc...
The result did not work for me!
Lacked a true love story between the characters, lacked feeling and emotion.
Will not stay in memory!
I was disappointed with the book... this story really wasn't very good.
I gave 3 stars because I love stories about MC.
---------------------------------------
A capa é linda (não resisto a uma capa bonita) e o tema do livro um dos meus favoritos... mas depois de ler ótimos livros sobre o assunto achei a história sem profundidade e muito previsível.
A autora pegou um tema da moda e seguiu o roteiro biker bad boy manwhore + stripper traumatizada filha de mafioso russo + vinganças + sexo + cenas violentas e etc...
O resultado não funcionou pra mim!
Faltou uma verdadeira história de amor entre os personagens, faltou sentimento e emoção.
Não vai ficar na memória!
Eu fiquei desapontada com o livro... esta história realmente não foi muito boa.
Eu dei 3 estrelas porque amo histórias sobre MC.
====>SHE WAS RAPED, MORON! PIECE OF SHIT! <===
====>AGAIN! PIECE OF SHIT!<====

I fling the door open and I’m shocked. There’s not one, not two but three damn girls in the room with him. Two of the woman are going to it, and he’s just watching as the third sucks him off.
God I can’t believe I’m having this conversation with him. The room smells like one giant pussy; he’s getting his dick sucked, and two muffler bunnies are eating each other out.
Braxxon just slapped the shit out of her. “I said out bitch!”
“If you ever hit me like that I’ll slit your throat in your sleep.”
“Um… Christina’s here. She’s back from Minnesota. She got our message, and well, she’s here and with… bags.”
“Hey handsome,” she coos, before kissing him right on the lips.
Pyro pushes Bom Bom off his dick. He must’ve already came. I laugh as he swats her away and tilts a bottle of whiskey to his lips.
“Hey Angel,” he whispers behind me as I replay last night. “I saw you watching Bom Bom blow Pyro. Does that turn you on, baby?” He licks my ear causing me to shiver. “Nope, I was glaring at him. He’s an ass.”
“I haven’t seen you grin like that since the weekend I met you,” she murmurs. Oh, shit! “Is one of them one of the three you’ve ever cared about?”
====>SHE WAS RAPED, MORON! PIECE OF SHIT! <===
Fuck this shit; I’m tired of it. She wants me to lay it to Dizzy, then I will. I’m done waiting around for her to realize what I mean when I say I care for her. I’m an MC fucking president; she can just go to fucking hell now.
Besides, Dizzy will blow my fucking mind to oblivion. She was the best lay I’ve ever had until I stuck my dick in Angel. Shit, there I go again.
“Prez,” she smiles walking up to me. “I have an itch,” I growl and pull her behind me walking so damn fast.
I don’t even have my bedroom door shut before she attacks me, ripping my clothes off. Her tongue thrusts in my mouth as I undo her leather pants.
“No fucking talking,” I hiss as I clamp my hand over her mouth and pound into her over and over again.
She screams and I muffle the noise with my hand as I spill my load inside of her warm cunt.
I’m clearly having a weak moment filled with guilt and regret about fucking Dizzy.
====>AGAIN! PIECE OF SHIT!<====
The scene before me pisses me off so bad; I drag Bom Bom behind the bar and unzip my pants. If she wants to baby Pyro like he’s her man, so fucking be it. “Suck my cock,” I say picking up a bottle and gulping it.
I shove Bom Bom away from me, zip my pants up, stomp over to Angel, and yank her up by the arm.
This has been a fucked up day. Tatiana gets caught fucking her boyfriend, we get shot at, I get caught getting a blowjob, and Lana and Pyro are fucking nuts.

WARNINGS: Sadistic and vindictive rapes (male and female), descriptive violence, drug use.
I’m not going to reinvent the wheel and give a synopsis of the entire story. There are people that do that better than me. What I will do is give you my thoughts about this book.
I have read A LOT of motorcycle club books. As my friends know, Tack in Kristin Ashley’s Motorcycle Man has always been my favorite male biker. That being said, let’s face it, her portrayal of a motorcycle club, as most romance authors’ portrayals of same, is fantasy. How do I know? MANY, MANY years ago, I bartended in motorcycle bars and met many of the infamous factions of the outlaw motorcycle club members that are still around today. In fact, being in South Texas, close to Mexico, there is still I faction I run into even when I go to my local Walmart. Shocking, isn’t it? So, I can tell you that the males are NORMALLY just low life criminals that are lazy; they prostitute their women, they normally live off of their women, and by no means are heroes or have much decency at all. The women are USUALLY crude. They very seldom even have one sentence without firing the F-bomb. (Yeah, I know, I use the damn word a lot myself). Anyway, this book is the CLOSEST to a real outlaw motorcycle club portrayal as I have read.
Don’t even try to think that Braxxon and Winter’s love story is a normal romance. It’s not. There is a shocking HEA that I wouldn’t normally equate with this type of story. This is a raw, nauseating, shocking, depressing depiction of a love story between two very rough characters.
Why FOUR STARS? There are some MAJOR editing problems. I don’t mean misspellings. I’m not that petty. I mean things like – saying she’s getting into the passenger side door, puts the key in the ignition and drives off.
So, there it is. It’s definitely a dark read and a dark love story. It is NOT the dark, erotic thrillers that I’m known to be a fan of so not an inky black read. More like a dark grey. I do think most of the dark readers that would like a little more love involved will enjoy this book.

Jesus fuck!!! If this isn't one of the absolute BEST books I've ever read.....
10+ stars
Oh my fuckin Christ!!! I'm in love with these badass bikers. My snatch is on fire. FUUUUUCKKK!!!!
I was immediately captivated from the *Warning* and then I just got sucked into the world of Breakneck starting with the prologue. This story is intensely RAW and GRITTY and I loved every damn page of it. Please take caution and READ the *WARNING* before you jump on this. Some people may find scenes in this book not to their liking.
After a childhood of hell from the hands of her father, Winter disappears and vows to never return to that kind of life.
Braxxon, the President of Breakneck MC always gets what he wants, and he wants his Angel in his hell.
Explaining to you the emotions I had while reading this book are lost on me. I can go on and on about how the story pulled me in and sucked me dry, or in this case left me a sopping mess at my core, but really the important thing I think every reader of SEIZE ME should know is that this is not your average fairy tale. There are parts of this book that literally left me in tears because of the pain the characters went through. I was emotionally invested by the first page and even now having finished the book 2 days ago, I'm still reeling from the hell and then security that was brought in such a profound way.
It's not very often that I find a book that I'm so attached to, in fact I can only remember feeling such intensity over 2 other stories in the last couple of years. That being said, this is one book that I highly recommend for the year of 2013. BUT only if you are capable of reading such issues as rape, murder, drug use, cheating, and extreme forms of violence. I cannot stress to you the importance of taking heed where the *warning* of this story comes into account.
