Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: This is a series. Although each book is a standalone, please read in order - as previous characters do make cameos.
Trigger Warnings: marital rape, domestic violence, stalking, infidelity, assault, smoking, drug use, murder, death, emotional abuse, alcohol use.
This book was also heavy like it's other book: Chaotic Wrath.
Although this book deals with a more relatable issue, closer to women in marriages now than you think: marital rape, and domestic violence.
A.R Breck captures it well - Jex's mystery heroine definitely does not have an easy marriage - that she may fake it to everyone else - even her friends. And to Jex, this seems wrong and not of his concern, but something in him refuses to give up.
Married at 18, K may look like she lives a life of luxuries in her now 2 year marriage with a big house, luxuries, a doting husband. But as they say nothing is always as it seems.
And Jex is definitely in the mood to find out why. Especially when he can't get the fiery, conventional girl outta his mind from the first time he sees her in their motorcycle club - the seven mc - still think it's the fight club - but whatever.
And when Jex finds out the truth, and rescues K - nothing is the same ever again.
A.R Breck once again manages to pull of a real world topic with gusto, emotion and strong writing - and just addicting me so very much in the process. K and Jex are both strong characters that refuse to back down from their demons, despite wanting to hide every time they see one.
The romance is scorching and sweet, the banter oh so swell, the forbiddingness of it all downright drool-worthy, and the action wowzah - not even top gun could gun for it - hehe pun intended, and just the handling of real world issues - such as marital rape, and domestic violence - which are still ignored as considered " as a husband and wife issue" - it's not always like that a--hats - that really made me wanna salute her and forever indebt myself in the favor of this book.
Loved it so damn much and yes willing to torture my vocals to shout it from every rooftop possible!
Cannot wait to read another A.R Breck book!
Until the next read,
-TMR
